In my experience, that sounds about right. At least the part about the complexity being in the process. The hard part of any big project is usually not the tech, it’s the politics, organization, and getting decisions made.

As for getting to know people, I think you can get to know some people, just don’t expect to get to know everyone. When I was in the office my section of the office had about 20 desks and it was connected to another room with about 40 more. The 3 people right around me I worked with and talked to all the time. Another guy who was pretty close, was on the phone a lot and did something else, but on many occasion we spoke. Ask him one minor question about what he’s doing and he’d talk to you about it for 3 hours. The room of 40, there were a few people I knew decently well and I’d go to lunch with a few of them extremely often. Occasionally someone would organize something outside of work which also gave some opportunities to see what people were really like.

It’s definitely a different type of vibe and not for everyone. The upsides with a big company are often more stability, benefits packages, they usually pay decent, and there is more opportunity to specialize if you’re into they. The downside is that you’re mostly a cog in the machine.
I use both.

Restic for various machines to hourly backup on a local server. Rclone to sync those backups to S3 daily.

Keeps the read/write ops lower, restores faster, and limits to a single machine with S3 access.

John Carmack pointed out on X that there is a fatal flaw in this design:

“I am skeptical of something like this making an impact for consumer VR, but it should be possible to integrate the sensor input at the OpenXR level, allowing it to work with all apps without needing per-app specialization.

However, it probably doesn’t “solve” motion sickness, because the vestibular system still won’t think you are going forward. The bouncing around motion of walking does have a masking effect that will help some.“

I personally could not get over the awful bout of motion sickness after I played my first “walking around” game on VR.

It is pretty obvious indeed, coming from what I get is your point of view. You seem to believe that you have to become a package maintainer for all the dependencies of the software you want to run. But I think you have this wrong.

Take it like this: in the current state, I am struggling to find a single interesting library for which I could become a package maintainer for my non-mainstream Linux distro, because there always exists one. Maybe not in the core repo, maybe only in the community repo. But still: I don't maintain a single package today, because I haven't found one that I use and that it not already maintained by somebody else.

Really, if you decide to create packages for all the dependencies of the software you want to run, congratulations: you have just created a new distro from scratch. But even most new distros don't do that :-).

In other words, there are way more developers than libraries that are worth being depended on. So even if we wanted to, not everybody can maintain a single package. There are just not enough packages out there for that, by very, very far.

Speaking only as a Home Assistant novice, not as someone who read the mqtt spec cover-to-cover...

I assume the reason was to keep topics to a single responsibility; if a trigger wants to subscribe to light.state= [on,off] notifications, it only wakes up if that single topic gets notified. It would not have to process light.color notifications or light.brightness notifications.

Sending the smallest payload to the "correct" topic was probably the goal, especially meaning that battery-operated devices only had to monitor the one topic. (Sending gets more complicated, but maybe it balances out in terms of reducing un-needed wakes due to events you do not care about.)

But I agree, that means you lose atomic state change events, unless you also had a topic that had the entire state.

They hunted down, shot, and killed multiple of their own, underwear-clad civilian citizens who were all the while waving white flags and loudly surrendering in hebrew [0]

Imagine the sort of intentional targeting we don't get to see, because the journalists are killed [1] or the internet is cut [2] or the power is cut [3] or because everyone hiding is terrified to even move, knowing anything moving will be shot on sight [4], even surrendering Israeli hostages [0]. What a nightmare.

Known (indeed, willing) indiscriminate killing of civilians (especially in civilian areas, yikes) is as much a war crime [5] as "intentionally targeting civilians", even if one shouts "get out of there!" or "human shields!" or "terrorists!" or "it's comin' right for us!" in a Calvinball-style declaration whilst doing it.

For more detailed analysis of how Israel seems to be ignoring their obligation to protect Palestinian civilians, I recommend consulting the full ruling [6] from the ICJ, the literal judges of this matter.

Load Balancing: A More Realistic Model
Pipper Installs TensorFlow on Macs
I originally was a Poetry user, but after having issues related to installing TensorFlow with it on Mac Silicon, as it wanted to resolve Intel dependencies, I got to thinking that venturing far from Pip may have unintended consequences.

So I made this little project which takes the best features for my own use case from Poetry, and wrapped Pip using simple Bash.

This doesn't replace Pip. It is Pip. There's no dependencies other than Bash, and Pip.
While the walking demos show slow, methodical movement, the one demo with the chair ( https://youtu.be/68YMEmaF0rs?t=269 ) is definitely much faster. Maybe it can't handle automatically moving the human if they walk too fast and suddenly change direction (improvable with better software), maybe they don't want to overpromise what it can do.
> Layoffs destroy trust.

> Research finds that, once betrayed, this trust is hard to recover.

I think they're missing the point here. This isn't about trust, this is about control. Layoffs help employers maintain control. Control is easier to manage than trust.
Calling this a fatal flaw is silly.

It may not fix everything with movement wearing a HMD, but one can imagine a whole lot of use cases without HMDs, and it might improve a lot of HMD use cases.
Fossil fuel usage in US and EU has stagnated but is increasing in China. I would say that the house is pretty tidy and waiting for major renovation - but the fact is - what ever pace of usage reduction does not counterbalance exponential usage increase.

How to Install and Run Fooocus on AWS Sagemaker Studio Lab
Wireless could also work, but it requires line of sight, and you have to put it on a roof / poll, which isn't always feasible.

Another subtle problem with rural wireless is that you have to point to a well-connected area, so the cheapest way to service houses that are on the side of the hill facing away from town is often either fiber or putting the tower in orbit. Otherwise, you'd need to run a fiber trunk line to the middle of nowhere to support the ISP side of the wireless link.

Fiber has the property that you can run it in parallel to existing power lines, so any house with power already has an existing right of way to piggyback on (owned by the wrong person, but imminent domain exists). Also, you can choose to trench the fiber or run it on telephone polls.

If I were running things, I'd look into strategically deploying fiber-to-the-home to areas with good line of sight to poorly connected areas, and then use a hub and spoke network topology where the spokes are directional wireless and some of the homes are hubs.

That creates a second order problem though: You need backup power at the hubs or parts of the network will go down when the electricity goes out. Long term, it's probably cheaper to maintain a network of buried fiber than it is to maintain the electricity infrastructure needed to keep the towers online.
So, from looking at the video, it looks like these are wheels that can be angled so they make contact with whatever is on top of them more than the wheels next to them, applying a tiny bit of momentum in the desired direction to then angle out of the way while another wheel takes over. This is a really cool solution, but I can't imagine it not feeling very weird while walking since it's not you being moved with your entire contact surface area instead of some parts of your shoe getting dragged somewhere. In general the unexpected inertia must also feel really weird.

My experience living in Montana has been that wireless internet providers can be great but they don’t provide great low latency service. It creates a perception that one can’t live in certain areas and do remote work since it’s too hard to do video.

When it comes to broadband there is a question of “how good is good enough” but for the people living in Hamilton Montana (population 5k) I hope there can be a path to infrastructure investment that leads to high quality internet in town.

Little rolling elements that have a wheel in them. It knows where you are, and treadmills you back to a starting point as you move.

The idea is simple, but the details to make it usable, safe, work well, etc, are tricky.

edit: Reading more, it looks like it's mostly tilting, with perhaps high frequency vibration being used to modulate the amount of friction on each tile.

I think you’re forgetting that there’s no definitive way to represent something, compressed or raw. So while it’s interesting to acknowledge that we can compress data and sometimes rather efficiently, I’m not sure it maps to anything physical beyond the fact that decompressing data creates entropy.

Perhaps you’d be interested in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landauer%27s_principle. Turns out there may be a minimum energy required to decrease entropy. Jade has a really good overview https://youtu.be/XY-mbr-aAZE?si=7DvSs2DMudsh6gk8

As for remote backups - I use ssh with Borg and it works fine. If this is a NAS you can probably enable ssh (if it is not enabled already).

BTW for my remote backups I do encrypt them but this is a choice the author of Borg left open.

There are other issues with Borg such the use of local timestamps (naive date format, no timezone) instead of a full ISO8601 string, and the lack of capacity to ask whether a backup is completed (which is a nightmare for monitoring) because the registry is locked during a backup and you cannot query it.

SD is the same way, though. Things look superficially interesting and technically competent (from a distance, fine and intricate details are always a problem) but because the result is always an amalgamation, everything tends to look the same, poses are generic, faces inexpressive, the more you look the more you notice the broad similarities.

Arguably (and IMHO) the most interesting part of SD is when the models break down and you get surreal horrors beyond comprehension. And that isn't even creative, it's just fun to look at.

And of course none of that is even touching on the ethical problems of SD and other models being trained on copyrighted material, and primarily being used by corporations to push working artists out of jobs, which is not a problem with stock photos (until all stock photos, themselves, are AI generated which seems inevitable.)
Sure but I think that Disney is likely to be presenting this as a potential consumer use case and if it can’t make traction there it seems pretty fatal if they can’t find a way to make money from it.

We need to get back to the probability point, because you're adding a word that is not in the article you linked, nor any article to my knowledge. From the article you linked:

---

"Analysts concluded [unknown disease] could be a cataclysmic event," one of the sources said of the NCMI’s report. "It was then briefed multiple times to" the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon’s Joint Staff and the White House. Wednesday night, the Pentagon issued a statement denying the "product/assessment" existed.

---

There is no mention of high risk anywhere. It's just another risk among countless others. In this particular case the wording of your article is also suggestive that the initial reports were not even concerned about it coming stateside, but rather its impact on the US forces in the region. It only made it to the President's daily briefing, and seemingly only once at that, sometime in January. Also remember even well into January it wasn't clear if human transmission was possible, and it was initially have thought to have come from an animal that US forces could potentially have been exposed to - like malaria, for example.
I think that would be in violation of court order Apple needs to comply with. For instance, they could (probably correctly) say that overriding the default web browser breaks security properties.

The whole point is that the EU wants to take away Apple's ability to vet apps, since that's created an anti-competitive situation.

It does if you redirect the output to a file other than /dev/null, but in my experience checking on the progress is irrelevant - it's done when it's done.
Let's imagine in simple numbers that "our" usage is 10 right now and by "tons of improvements" we could reduce it to 8. In this example China has 10 too, but is increasing its usage 10% in year and would use close to 20 after 8 years. Now how much sense would these "tons of improvements" make?

Your mother enjoys stability. That's what this path is. It's stable and predictable. After all, trying to reach for a million dollars is much more unstable than the one thousand dollars you know you can more easily obtain.

So, this means that indie game devs and other craftsmen are the opposite of research and development types. Craftsmen are exactly like technicians or nurses who have two year Associate's degrees.

The people who do research and development are the real entrepreneurs and four year Bachelor's degree holders equivalents. They're more expensive to start up and maintain too. So, they could use bigger funding for their research labs which enable them to conduct risky and unproven experiments. A traditional startup is nothing more than an open world scientific lab with which to test and validate some macro-economic and business hypotheses.

It all boils down to steady and simple paycheck versus risky yet potentially very rewarding research, development, experimentation, and study that has an analogue in decade long secondary and post-secondary education.

> what rights you think individual nations have to regulate their internal commerce including regulations on what manufacturers and sellers of devices must make it possible for the purchasing public to do

> while this regulation is targeting Apple’s software control the same principles are underlying the regulations that allow bilingual countries to require products be labeled in both languages, allow countries to mandate hygiene in health care facilities, higher food safety or ingredient quality control to minimise food contamination risks

I mean, while this regulation is targeting Apple’s software control, the same principles are underlying the regulations that allow countries like PRC to demand Apple to host data of their users in China in datacenters that are run by, essentially, the PRC government, as well as give them the keys to decrypt data of those users.

I don’t see how that’s a point in favor of anything at all here. Just because the countries have the right to do those things and sometimes utilize those rights for things like food safety management or bilingual product labeling enforcement, it doesn’t automatically make their usage of those same rights for other things (like compromising user data and, with full legal support, spying on political dissidents) any more justified.

No one is arguing that the EU doesn’t have the right to do what they are doing (the EU, indeed, has the right to do it). People are arguing whether it is a smart and beneficial thing to do.
