An alternative solution, stop reading the news alltogethor. Replace it with something either more relaxing or more enriching.

Break-in is still relevant. The reason is to 1) let all the moving parts wear down evenly to a stable state and 2) let chemistry changes take place in lubricants and fluids. Things like belted teeth, gear teeth, sleeves, bearings, wheel grease, bearing grease, and more have metal-on-metal action where micro-burrs and such will get shaved down. Fluids will gas-off micro-pockets of air and so on.

Anyone that has done car work knows that if you run a magnet through used oil or look closely at used grease that it will be full of tiny tiny metal shavings from this action. It is just more intense during the first hundred or so miles.

EVs should greatly reduce the need, but there are still moving parts in wheels and sometimes gears.
Can you elaborate?

Which countries would that be? And have you tried to live in one of them? How did it go?
Very true. In Austria you can still get a lot of heritage apples but mostly in the fall. Some varieties don’t keep well at all.

> Don't use your credit card on websites you don't trust

The person in this article bought stuff from Amazon with their credit card and did not have their account compromised. Unless you are arguing against buying stuff on the Internet in general I don't see how you comment has anything to do with the case at hand.

This is mostly typical RCMP overreach and the person should seek legal advice on counter-suing for damages.
Perhaps if you're running some obscure niche distros. For all the major ones, this is just plain false.
I'd say that's a CI/CD team.

Platform means different things to different people but it should offer a standardized way of doing things that's well supported while allowing for customization by developers when needed (with less support when you step out of the golden path). It's a combination of software, processes and management buyin.

The way I see most "DevOps" teams working is they're just writing scripts that do whatever was requested without much thought about how sustainable that is, how company-wide policies can be enforced, or retrofitting improvements to other codebases... It's all very quick-and-dirt solution, one after the one until they end up in software engineering madness with developers complaining that things take too long or break easily while devops engineers complain developers don't know what they are doing. It's not a productive situation to be in.

I think platform engineering is just about having a systematic approach that gives developers more peace of mind so they can focus on actually coding features while giving the rest of the organization a bit more control points about how things are maintained. It's the 80/20 rule applied to devops, I guess. Just enough centralization.

I'm also very excited about platform engineering and I think it's a natural progression because, frankly, what people call DevOps these days is just a nightmare. God forbid the org has "distributed DevOps" a.k.a. do whatever you want in your team and when it's time to make a global change we will work with >20 different ways of doing something. That will be quick.
I’m really worried this will become common practice. We MUST fight against this otherwise they will take away open source from us. Making an integration to work with devices you own is NOT ILLEGAL. I’m happy to contribute to a qualified and trustworthy gofundme to protect devs. I myself have a few integrations I made and would refuse to take them down. Granted, I intentionally don’t use any “cloud” api garbage.

I wish, just like all nations have a budget for defense, that they all have a budget for space exploration. Colonising mars would be the ultimate growth driver. Think interplanetary trade, tourism, asteroid mining. Not to mention population growth and diversity.

In terms of the relativity of our frames of reference. We can't even measure time on a clock or the length of a pace and declare it to be valid for anyone that has followed a different space-time path. One minute to me isn't the same for my brother in a fast train, let alone Zod on Krypton. Relativity says that our whole view of the world is unprivileged.

Space-time is not centered on our perspective. That's the revelation of the Michelson–Morley experiment that Einstein explained.
I completely agree about using Virtual Credit Cards generally. However, the majority of Canadian Banks (Especially the Big 6) don't offer virtual credit cards. Even US banks that offer credit cards in Canada don't offer it in here, but they do it the US (Ex. Capital One).
Even then, I'd put at least some blame on Walmart. Adding a new shipping address to an existing e-commerce account is an obvious situation where a little extra scrutiny is warranted. At least a 2FA check.
So, if I understand you correctly, the business strategy for an AI wrapper company would be that they acquire customers quickly from a specific niche, build a name, while having very little custom technology and then get acquired by some of the larger players who do have the actual AI tech in-house. And, for them, it would be worth it for the brand/market/existing client base.

Assuming that the advance made in the meanwhile in AI doesn't eradicate the whole thing. I mean say some company builds a personal assistant for managers to supplant secretaries, they become the go-to name and then Google buys them in 2-3-5 years. Unless Google's AI becomes so good in the meantime that you can just instruct it in 1-2 sentences to do this for you.

I think I'd s/"unlimited abundance"/"nothing to lose" - particularly in startups. In the small businesses I've worked in, it's when the times a tough, the biggest and most critical bets have been made often with the most conviction. That sort of situation I think also drives some of those motivational and incredibly innovative behaviours in people.
I converted a DOS-era joystick like this, and the shift registers inside were stable at higher speeds, I don't remember needing to care about the timing much. I may have just run the clock in a for-loop during the polling loop.

> Especially given how many STEM-brains get attracted to software instead, nowadays…

It's just common sense. You won't earn decent money at semiconductor company and given the niche, you will be sentenced to whims of one or two (if you are lucky) companies operating in your region. If you find that your employer doesn't treat you well, you cannot exactly leave and bootstrap your own chip making business.

Software is more democratised and you have much better chances to grow wealth of your family in that area. Although corrupt regulators are doing their best to pull as many ladders as they can to limit ways workers can go their own way (like changed IR35 legislation in the UK that massively limits how small service based business can operate).
Italy, Sweden and Turkey are paying their way. They are all military pilots. They are just paying for seats with Axiom directly rather than bartering for seats with NASA.

Voxatron is what came to mind for me given OP's requirements. I own it but still haven't used it myself, but given it's from the same group as pico-8, I would bet it fits the bill perfectly.

Ye that is correct.

My commute is about 10 miles of which 8 is 40 mph two lane country road. So I think I got about the lowest mpg my car can have.

Technically it was a 3rd party seller right? Like eBay or a flea market or the back of a truck?
The very premise that a single company should have as a goal to "win in every market" is problematic to its core. Can you justify this premise and how it relates to your assessment of Google?
DLT is a big feature of a full platform, you can’t really say that’s a missing feature of a delta library.

You’re right, but privacy policies are binding for the company. So it does matter if you pick a company that says “we share your info with everyone” compared to the company that won’t.
I can't speak to french apple grocery store selection, but I wonder if you should maybe go to a different grocery store in the US. In my area (SF Bay Area) at the most common grocery chain (Safeway) there are probably 8 or so varieties of apples on sale and they often rotate. I would say that they always have the common ones that you describe (Red Delicious, Gala, Fuji, Granny Smith), some less common ones that are there 80% of the time (Honeycrisp, Pink Lady) and then some more exotic ones that rotate (this time they had two I had never tried before - Pazaz [I had to check twice to make sure they didn't say Pazuzu] and Sugar Bee). The Sugar Bee's were incredible - firm, crispy, juicy and sweet with just a small hint of tartness. Beyond just the bulk loose apples, they had a bunch of weird apple "products" that were either packaged up or sold in a bag. The weirdest ones were apple "bites" which were just tiny little apples - no variety specified.

In my experience, the average US grocery store has a vast selection of produce and I see the pattern with apples (standard base varieties, with some rotating specials) across most categories of produce - citrus, cucumbers, peppers, root veggies, etc.

So in short, I dunno, I actually feel like there's a massive variety of agricultural products in the US. Certainly way more than in Switzerland, the country in which I've been to the grocery store the most outside of the US. Coop has like 3 kinds of apples, Migros was a bit better and had some interesting Kanzi apples which I had not seen in the states.

YMMV ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You have fallen for the very manipulation at the core of the rot of American society. Gun rights is not what keeps government overreach at bay, there are plenty of countries that overthrow their government without all these weapons. Gun rights, or a myriad other wedge issues are just there to manipulate the electoral system, the reason for the rot is the extreme unchecked power of capital, which in the last 30 years has completely eroded civil society and the protections it offered, to instead protect entrenched interests. It is the usual path of decline for a lot of empires, and it seems to have been accelerated due to the advent of tv/cable and the internet.
For the same reason we have 1 banana and mostly only see hass avocados.

IF you take the seeds of a tomato you will get a mostly decent tomato out of it. IF you take the seeds of an apple or a haas avocado you will likely get something that looks nothing like its parent. Unlike tomatoes it takes a LONG time to grow a tree, so if you want an avocado or apple orchard your going to use grafts to make sure you get the best chance of having a good product in 5 or 10 years...

The economics of commonality should be readily apparent... pick something that you know works for your multi year bet to pay off sounds like a good plan.

Avocados are also interesting because we DO get other varieties due to how it reproduces (you need plants of both sexes). IM fairly sure that apples do not have this issue so farms are monocultures.

Add on to that the fact that the varieties we see are designed to be kept long enough to have a birthday and this is what you get.
It absolutely works that way in the US. Lots of jobs, financial applications, housing rental applications etc ask if you have ever been charged with a crime - not convicted, only charged - and even if you are found innocent, or the charges dropped because it turns out their initial investigation was wrong etc - it closes most doors for you.

> How do you get this? I don't even know.

Well one component that has changed there is that the marginal tax rate on the inflation-equivalent of a Google Director pay back then was 80-90%, so there wasn't really a point in enticing people with large salaries.

Also, the factory workers you mentioned could afford houses in a big city on a single income. Now a single FAANG eng struggles to do the same unless they get N promotions, and even moreso if you tack childcare costs on top.
It's also a bit different from learning to play music in that almost everyone appreciates music even without being able to create it themselves. There's a much more direct connection between the craft and its outcomes than with math.
The physical switches may actually bounce, so you might need some debounce logic, if it wasn't the shift register glitching out. It's pretty common for buttons to need this, often seen in keyboard firmware as well for similar reasons, the physical mechanism actually will oscillate a bit between states.
That 0.34 is applied to a huge frontal area though. Ends up having lot more drag then a sedan because the truck needs to move a lot more air molecules out of the way.
I'm definitely no expert here, but...

"Storing" electricity using H2 is relatively straightforward: use electricity to electrolize water and get H2 (and O2), store the H2 (presumably liquefied) and then burn it to either generate electricity again or to power existing energy-intensive processes (e.g. smelting iron ore). Not sure how efficient the electricity -> H2 -> electricity conversion is, but ok...

Now, if you use methanol, you get the H2 like before, then "make it react" with CO2 (and CO2 is not really eager to react with anything IIRC) to get methanol, and then you burn it, getting CO2 which has to react with more H2 or otherwise you wouldn't be carbon neutral. Sounds to me like this process can only be less efficient (and more complicated) than the H2 process? Potentially much less efficient and much more complicated?
iRobot Stock Plunges as Its Takeover by Amazon Likely Is Dead
-> sounds like they had enough chargers for normal days.

Normal warm days. They sold too many teslas for the number of charging stations available for the cold climate.

My take is that this is one of the inevitable complications discovered along the energy transition path. Lesson here: Making and selling cars is the first hurdle, and they got over it. Build a factory, build a marketing apparatus, get them out there. Placing fixed assets to support the service needs in individual markets is lagging behind - a process may not be in place to anticipate and support market adoption at current pace.

Brian Roemmele says they've been dumpster diving for decades salvaging huge collections of microfilm/microfiche that's been thrown out by libraries, research institutions, etc.

Now that LLMs are here, they're taking that collection and training an LLM against it (instead of the internet): https://twitter.com/BrianRoemmele/status/1746945969533665422
The setup with the Axiom flights is that it's private access to a space station and associated capabilities before Axiom's own modules are ready (which are intended to start off as part of the ISS, eventually detaching and leaving their own private space station).

Idea being that this way Axiom has some revenue and is able to gain some operational experience.

Since the ticket is expensive and at least one seat is taken up by someone with spaceflight experience and AFAIK has high demand relative to the number of flights available, the people going up are doing at least something productive.
For a more realistic ATC there are people who actually love ATCing simmers. Like on VAT-SIM.

where I'm from, it's insanely common to buy a smartphone, only to find out when you put your sim card in, that it was stolen.

The authorities will just take it back (with no refund ofc) if you can prove that you bought it.

However, most purchases are from online sellers, or stores that say (this phone came from abroad by an immigrant).

Now this is indeed how most electronics enter the country, so the risk is unavoidable sadly.

> NASA bootstrapped the semiconductor industry by buying up most of the world's supply. Without the Apollo program we may only just now have gotten smartphones.

I strongly disagree with that. The semiconductor industry was thriving before NASA even existed, none of the central enabling inventions (MOSFET transistors, semiconductor manufacturing techniques) were made there or even related to the Apollo program, and "computers" as in turing complete machines already existed before NASA and had plenty of applications apart from space travel.

NASA/Apollo giving todays smartphones a 10 year technology boost is just pure fiction and not even remotely supported by facts.
23 million pixels, divided by two, makes 12.5 MP per eye. Let's assume it's nearly square, so taking the square root gives us 3535 pixels in height and width.

This graphic claims 3400x3400 resolution, so we're not far off:

https://i.redd.it/apple-vision-pro-resolution-vs-other-heads...

Frustratingly, the spec sheet doesn't list FOV, but let's assume it's on the order of 110 degrees. That gives us about 31 pixels per degree.

Right now, I'm sitting about 30 inches from a 24" diagonal 1920x1200 monitor. That gives a vertex angle of about 45 degrees, and it's 2264 pixels corner-to-corner, so I've got 50.3 pixels per degree. That's not high DPI, but it's acceptable. I also have a 4k, which is lovely, but given the chance I'll take more real estate over a small, high-DPI display. And with Vision Pro you can put monitors anywhere.
You have observational bias based on the things that you are interested in and observed as an outside observer.

The real innovation at Google is internal and invisible to you -- often secret, maybe kind of boring, but totally transformational. It's infrastructure and its support. And all those moonshot things and stuff were mainly PR, sideshows, and not the primary focus of the company's brains.

And they ke thing is Google doesn't/didn't have to be productive" for these moonshot types of projects. As a % of headcount they are fairly low, even. The real money comes from ads ads ads and always will. The rest (non-ads/non-search) of the company is there to capture SWE headcount from the rest of the industry, not to produce monetary value for Google. The ad revenue firehose is so incredible that it was inevitable it would turn into a swamp of misused potential like you describe.

The real innovation in Google is the stuff that people on this forum don't see. Because it's mostly secret or invisible. It's giant data centres using a pile of custom technology to eek out massive throughput, more fiber and Internet backbone than you can imagine. And the SREs and ops people who keep all this stuff running.

All to keep that firehose running. The rest is all sideshow. I was a SWE at Google, but the real talent there is SRE and infra development.

I wonder if it would work better if there was a swarm of kites - or at least several deployed in the same area. Far enough from each other to avoid interference, but close enough so they could share data about the air movement.
