I think it feels serendipitous only if you think of "sweet" taste (or for that matter any taste) as occurring in this giant continuum of tastes where hitting a specific spot on that continuum is probabilistically impossible.

Ultimately, we experience tastes thanks to chemical receptors on the tongue, and as long as a substance triggers those receptors we experience a certain taste.

Now of course if triggering needs a very very specific combination of atoms, then it is not very probable, but we know especially from drug research that you can use similarities in molecular structure or sometimes in say the electron cloud of the molecule to perform this triggering. Caffeine for eg is a selective adenosine antagonist that fools the body and binds to adenosine receptors. Now of course int the case of caffeine the structures are somewhat similar, but you could imagine similar stuff happening with other molecules too

If you think of it as that sort of problem, it's not that surprising that many different types of molecules might achieve the same effect.

Exercising choice as a consumer is not by definition political, but can be political. I think the technicality you pointed out is incorrect.

Oxford: (political) "Of, belonging to, or concerned with the form, organization, and administration of a state, and with the regulation of its relations with other states." [1]

Webster: (political, (2)) "of, relating to, involving, or involved in politics and especially party politics" [2]

I would therefore interpret taking a principled stance because of concerns for personal safety as not political. As another example, OTOH, given party politics can be either pro or anti-union, boycotting Boeing (based on party politics) because it was pro or anti-union - would be political.

Yep, that's how AWS sales make money.

Theoretically, your company could reduce their commitment to 4M next year, but the AWS sales would start negotiating hard against it, like "you will not get the same discount with less commitment".
I see this a lot on Youtube.

Purely subjectively, I find it way more egregious and annoying on Youtube (because YT won't monetize shorter articles) and less convenient to skim past if you don't like the structure of the video.

You can tell if "in medias res" is done well or
poorly by how you react to it. If you are excited
for the detour, then it's done well

I was a maybe little frustrated here, but we already know the ending of the story, right? The guy did return from space. The guy did not open the hatch and kill the crew. Pretty sure we'd all remember that.

So with that in mind I thought the detour into "what brought this dude to the point where he was refusing commands from Mission Control" was quite welcome.

That doesn't seem right.

I think of the brain as a "rationalization machine". It observes environmental inputs, and reflexively seeks to ascribe a cause for those inputs. In so doing, a causal model of the world is constructed (whether accurate or not), allowing the agent to make intelligent decisions about what actions to take in order to produce desired outcomes.

What hallucinogenic drugs tend to do is overwhelm the brain with sensory inputs that are sui generis and cannot be folded neatly into a pre-existing causal model of reality, but that are so numerous that they cannot simply be ignored.

So the "protective mechanism" of the brain, rather than abandoning or risking damage to this highly valuable causal model of reality, is to shunt these experiences over into an "other" category of mystical and religious significance. The fact that these experiences are inexplicable, rather than being an indication of any "malfunction" in the brain which might prompt us to doubt our perception in general, is instead proof of their cause: the incomprehensible divine.

This isn't academic, just my 2c.

It's different when it's a deliberate conspiracy to mislead consumers, especially when that consumer is choosing services that advertise that a safe vehicle will be used.

If they just stopped showing what plane would be used on the route, maybe they'd get away with using 737-MAX series.

If they say 'it's a 737-800 don't worry about it' and swap in a max every time, or 'fly with us on an airbus' and bring in a boeing death-tube after a purposefully misleading advertisement of a different service...

Terms Of Service only gets you so far. It's not a fraud-dodge.
Well, at this point you get few features but still lots of bugs ;) But yes, the minimalism is very much intentional - I have no interest in letting it grow all that much, and no interest in lots of decoration (I might add support for some; especially inspired by how Katriawm does it [1] - it basically just slaps images on each side in separate windows - it's high "bang for the bucks" in terms of flexibility for very little effort)

Partially because the "home toaster" is simply not used in commercial settings; they use a toaster over or one of those things that looks like a miniature pizza oven: https://www.webstaurantstore.com/14603/commercial-conveyor-t... - the only place is at a buffet or similar in a hotel. But I bet that $500 toaster would last awhile. Would it last long enough to justify the price compared to whatever Walmart has?
Unfortunately, the chemists merely tasted, not ingested. Otherwise they would have known that their newly found artificial sweeteners cause nasty bowel issues.
But Try, catch and throw are in themselves not conditional, they are fancy gotos with bookkeeping. Those constructs don’t typically deal with conditions.

However I think the notion that “flow control” has to do only with conditionals is not a common one.
FWIW the definition on Wikipedia, which aligns with my experience is not this restrictive… the lowly goto is flow control. Basically anything that controls the program location is flow control.
I know someone that had a HVAC business with several trucks, and sold an old van to a handyman who had done some work for him. The business got a call a year later from someone complaining about a door or something "they'd" installed... Which of course turned out to be the handyman still having the original logo and phone number on the side. I think the deal was he was supposed to remove the logo, but of course hadn't yet. They finally got him to take it off, but the lesson definitely was don't sell a vehicle with your company logo still on it.
Just because the government won't let Boeing go bankrupt doesn't mean Boeing shares will provide the exact same return to investors no matter what. An incident like this should reduce our expectations of how much Boeing will pay investors in dividends/buybacks, so the share price should be lower.

Sounds like a them problem not an us problem. Nothing they couldn’t afford „tens of teams”. It’s a nice moment living in the EU, knowing that common sense policies like GDPR and anti-trust can be enacted and enforced.
A part of this is the products being fitted to US market and only after they get traction do they hit the other countries. That means any of the wider digital management, privacy etc. are literally after thoughts, and the business model also doesn't properly fit.

With that approach I think we'll always get products that are optimized for free + ads first and foremost, as the US public reacts better to those, and once it's setup it's just so hard to pivot to paying models.
> it will rebound just like it did with the last 737 issue a few years ago

I’m eyeballing the boeing 5Y stock graph and I’m not seeing that rebound. It was around USD 330 when the MCAS issue grounded them. Then it was riding above 300 until the march of 2020. Collapsed there presumably due to Covid and then the highest ever it climbed was last year december with USD 260.

It seems if you bought stock just after their grounding you are very much in the red with that to this day. So where is the rebound?
My understanding is that most of the experiments for NMR with REBCO at this point are geared towards high field NMR (like 30T) whereas medical NMR field strength is down around 1-3T.

I don’t know what the cost delta is between LTS and HTS magnets, but I imagine the much broader applicability of HTS will bring manufacturing costs way down with economies of scale.

In the interim, people are still trying to figure out effective ways to joint the HTS sections.
I doubt it's a discrete GPU. It doesn't make sense to split a GPU and CPU in such a tiny device. Especially with the gains you can get with completely shared memory. I think it's much more likely to be a SoC with dsp tiles for the sensors and a huge GPU block and standard apple p and e cores.
We are building some educational video games and considering starting a company to help sustain the effort. If possible, it would be great to publish the source code and game assets as free/open software and free cultural works. However, I’m not sure about a business model to fund continuous research and development. Is anyone here working on or aware of any open source game studios with sustainable funding/revenue? Any other advice or consideration about licensing and business models? Thanks in advance :-)
Your diatribe makes little sense. A healthy company has Product Managers in charge of each product, and in complex products its customary to break them off further into feature sets and even markets, each managed exclusively by a Product Manager.

Staff engineers are the result of having a hierarchical org where you need highly specialized and experienced people to take the lead of technical projects. What problem do you exactly see in this?

This claim is not supported by the data. Ancient people wrote some miserable literature.
The cookie regulation was designed to train people to "Agree" without reading.

It was a prerequisite step for GDPR that was designed to legalise data collection and trading.

Before GDPR it was a gray area, now companies can easily get consent as users mindlessly click "Agree" to data processing and selling and they have a legal basis to do so.

These are corrupt laws, but most people blindly believe EU is good and totally not in bed with big corporations.

No, it's you that don't seem to understand. I'm well aware that paying with your credit generates information which is repackaged and sold. But following a QR code to a webpage potentially opens your phone up to cookies, tracking pixels, and all sorts of other things, depending on what permissions you give it or what exploits can be leveraged. All the major fast food vendors have their own apps now, for example. One hopes they don't exfiltrate unrelated data from the phone, but it's not a certainty and it's even less of a certainty if individual restaurants start encouraging their customers to install a generic 'my tasty meal' app.

At some point, with limited constraints, the best way to predict the next token is to have a deep understanding of the world that produced those tokens. This is, as I understand it, a key part of the scaling hypothesis. Very interesting to see people testing parts of that hypothesis.

I thought so as well but recently discovered: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_redshift

"gravitational redshift (known as Einstein shift in older literature)[1][2] is the phenomenon that electromagnetic waves or photons travelling out of a gravitational well (seem to) lose energy. This loss of energy corresponds to a decrease in the wave frequency and increase in the wavelength, known more generally as a redshift. "

The current resolution of the cameras on the HW3 systems is 1.2 megapixels. HW4 is 5 megapixels. So, less than 1080p per camera for most of the Tesla cars is HW3. 1280x960, I believe.

Not sure why reading license plates is a meaningful indicator of capability though. Most people can't read license plates clearly from a distance that doesn't impede driving, and there's many lighting-relating issues that make reading license plates difficult for cameras.

I work for a company called CloudFix, and we are solely focused on AWS costs. We do automated AWS cost optimization. We find one of two reactions when we deliver savings to customers:

(A) "Hey wow, this is great! We are so excited to be saving from here on out." OR,
(B) "This should have been caught earlier. $TEAM was supposed to be experts..." and then blame game starts.

It is really unfortunate when institutions react in the latter way. Often the engineers are assigned to cost optimization, along with a million other things. And, the incentives aren't really aligned well to reward savings. For example, S3 Intelligent Tiering is the right thing in 99.9% of cases - so it should be your default bucket type. BUT, engineers often face only downside risk for the change, and very little upside reward. And, it isn't their money so they just leave it. The cost of overprovisioned S3 can be staggering!

What is really needed is to establish a proper FinOps discipline, put someone in charge of cost savings, and make sure incentives are aligned properly. And of course check out CloudFix if you can!

I've been using DisplayLink and the Startech adapter for 6 months and it's been rock solid. There is also a Dell hub in the middle as I could never get it working without.

Flow is as follows: Macbook -> USB-C -> Dell USB-C hub -> USB-A/B -> Dell monitor (USB hub) -> Startech adapter (USB A) -> 2x Dell Monitor DisplayPort.

FWIW I have 2 Dell 27 1080p both aligned portrait with a MBAir M2 on the side.

> Exercise is definitely a very important part of any sustainable weight loss program...More importantly I have never seen anyone not on Ozempic lose weight with just diet and no exercise and keep the fat off.

This is not my experience, or that of my friends. While exercise is great for many reasons, some people's bodies react to exercise differently. For example, if I go running then I end up eating much more, which negates the calories expended. I have lost weight quite successfully (and not looked ghastly in the least) by IF and reducing caloric intake generally. During that time I did exercise (mostly long walks), but I did not increase my exercise over my prior baseline.
How can any company be considered a competitor to Starlink while relying on SpaceX to get into LEO?

If you're relying on your competitor to enable your business model then you're not competing with them.

> In March 2022, AST SpaceMobile announced a multi-launch contract with SpaceX to launch its first BlueBird operational satellite.[35][36] AST SpaceMobile states that it will be able to produce up to six BlueBird satellites per month at two manufacturing sites in Midland, Texas.[37][38] The company has attributed delays in the deployment schedule of its operational satellites to supply chain issues and price increases.[39] In March 2023, AST SpaceMobile stated that it expects to launch the first five Block 1 BlueBird satellites in early 2024.[40]

AST SpaceMobile does not seem like they are operating a viable business model. They have been publicly traded for several years and the market seems to agree.

Your definition of "computer" seems to be too narrow. "A computer" does not have to have a shell, run linux, windows, or macos - "a computer" can be an embedded 8-bit SOC.

Definition of computer: "a device, usually electronic, that processes data according to a set of instructions."

Maybe it's pedantic, but you're simply not counting trillions of real computers in the world doing valuable work without any kind of user interface, even IoT devices that are connected to the internet. I have dozens of home automation "computers" that have no such end-user accessible shell, but I can definitely ping their IP address and control them in various ways - and I create the firmware for devices (ESP32 primarily), so I can assure you they are the full definition of "a computer" and that they have no shell, do not run javascript, and have no browser.

And yet those embedded devices can be forced to run a version of Javascript.
