The CARB was created in 1967. The ''smoking gun'' document described in this article was written in 1954. Presumably it was not provided to Reagan's state government prior to his establishment of CARB.
Interest rates followed a downward trend overall throughout the 80s and 90s, with a few brief spikes and a 5% plateau between 1995-2000. We started the 80s with sky high rates from the Volcker inflation era. Ultimately, interest rates halved, from around 10% to around 5%, during this period.

By contrast, interest rates went from 0.1% to 5.5% in the past 18 months. Even if you add the prime rate, the cost of capital tripled, from around 3% to around 9%. That's an unprecedented financial shock for pre-revenue companies.
The font stuff is 50x better than it used to be and there's even a reasonable font selector built right into the GUI with the "Set Default Font" in the context menu (ctrl-right-click). And then you can "save" that from the GUI and get a line like this in your .emacs:

'(default ((t (:family "FantasqueSansM Nerd Font Mono" :foundry "PfEd" :slant normal :weight regular :height 98 :width normal)))))

Which emacs knows how to modify, too.
“These incidents show what happens when it takes too long for cybercriminals to get arrested,” Nixon said. “If governments fail to prioritize this source of threat, violence originating from the Internet will affect regular people.”

Too long? It took a year to arrest this guy. That does not seem like too long. In the 80s and 90s it took years, even decades, to uncover computer and wire fraud. Fraudsters would have careers lasting many years. It used to take forever to close fraud cases
> “While EVs will be the wave of the future, gas hybrids make more sense now and, for many of us, always will,” writes George Shaeffer, a reader from Clearwater Beach, Fla., who drives a Camry Hybrid. “I don’t see any reason it can’t last until it’s 20 or 30 years old.”

The problem now is if something like only 20% of cars sold in California can be Hybrid after 2035 then the availability of gasoline will also decline as pure EV becomes the norm.

Even if a car can technically last 20 years, in 20 years will there be fuel for it available? What about mechanics that will work on it? What about parts?

These things will become increasingly less available as demand for them go down and ultimately make owning ICEs hybrid or otherwise increasingly more expensive over time to keep.

Alternatively, cost for a pure EV is high and at the moment the biggest cost of it is the battery that won't last 20 years currently. Though in 15 years the cost of replacement batteries will likely go down.

Either way I view buying any car right now a loss since it's impossible to make a reasonable guess for its worth beyond say 3 years from now.
Do you mean consulting as a developer?

What the end of 0% interest rates means for people who are not software engineers:

That's what I'm reading too. But reviewers still say it's good for movie viewing.
I think I misread your comment as meaning the literal opposite of what you meant.
That is such a terrible equivalence, I don't even know where to start.
Super interested in how they "remotely disable aspects of the Chinese hacking campaign".
That's a start, but I think it may take more than that.

Many discussions here about freedom of speech and the value of anonymity to this; the freedom to express ideas without worrying it may explode in our faces later.

I think right-leaning people use "cancel culture" to describe the same category of concerns. At lest, I hope that's what they mean by the term.

Business and governments say similar things, saying that if every meeting is recorded, people will be less willing to speak up.

A society where we don't care about people having had dumb opinions in the past would help more… but that creates a game theoretic risk, we need some kind of reputation system to avoid the iterated prisoners' dilemma degenerating into the ordinary prisoners' dilemma.

I don't have any complete answers. But at the same time, don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good, we can certainly make things better.
Why would that be the cocksure interpretation of "JS is a mistake?"
And what exactly are they supposed to do? Monitor all private communications?

At that scale you would need an AI. Once the AI sees something possibly bad, either you have a real person check it (people would complain about privacy, the mental health of those employees having to see awful things) or you have the AI ban (people would complain about lost accounts)

No matter what instagram does they lose. So I think doing nothing is the right thing. Maybe the parent should have done some parenting.
At least for chinese there are off-the-shelf word segmenters you can use like jieba[0]- I used it in gptlingo and it Just Works(TM).

The "show pronounciations" setting just turns on pinyin above characters - what I want is to type pinyin and enter chinese characters. Actually showing the pinyin above characters is quite distracting!

No, you just don’t get it. You don’t understand. You’re so pronographically limited in your understanding that you can’t see the framework. Your spirituality is just one bit of money shot prelude. If you don’t get it, you really risk going limp and messing up the big finish before you die. Spirituality and faith is important but just a piece of your porno.
People who just inherit a farm and get other people to run it aren't farmers.
But you can see your Mac (running macOS) on it. In that sense, it’s “just” a monitor, but far from Apple’s most expensive monitor.

Another comment mentions that you’re confined to the host computer’s “screen” and can’t break applications away from that rectangle. But you could imagine that being a possibility in the not-too-distant future.
That doesn't help, coding newbies can't be expected to write comprehensive unit tests to keep an LLM's implementation on the rails, and the LLM flexibility doesn't stretch all the way into deployment unless it is the actual component being deployed.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this came in a visionOS update. On a shorter timescale it could also come in the form of third party apps, because there’s no technical limitations preventing a server app from cutting out windows on a desktop OS and sending them over a wire to a visionOS client.
Wow, cool. A paper that costs $20 to read. I'll be sure to hop on that.
No, but this is a 10-20 year old planter where all the useful parts have been replaced with something from a different manufactures. Buy a new planter and more than half of those independent screens/controls go away. Buy a new tractor and another can go away. Buy a tractor and planter from the same manufacture and you can get down to just 1 (but realistically you have enough data to monitor that you would have 2-3).

There is also the ISO11783 protocol which this tractor (which is at least 10 years old) has in the base model that could show everything, but the resolution available isn't really good and so while 3-5 controls could use that instead of a separate box, anything on a high resolution screen needs to stay. I don't know why the manufacture of those controls choose not to.
Sure, but I still see most people using iPads for media while having a MacBook for "real work," which is exactly what Apple wants, to not cannibalize their own products.
I am hearing about Ubicloud for the first time and it sounds very good. I don’t have a need for a cheaper GitHub runner now, but I’ve been dreaming about a modern, less complex open stack alternative for some time. Also, having a cloud service combined with the open source product seem like a great fit!
Meh, having a suspended license doesn't actually stop you from being able to drive.

Both physically you don't have to swipe in to drive but also legally you can still drive [1].

T-Mobile's Netflix on Us changes are a lot worse than we thought
Just got the email today that they dropped me and everyone else to the Netflix with ads plan.
Agile is an adjective, not a noun. The opposite of agile are words like clumsy, apathetic, depressed, dispirited, down, dull, ignorant, inactive, lazy, lethargic, lifeless, rigid, slow, sluggish, stiff, stupid, brittle, etc. That's why being agile caught on because none of the opposites sound like a good thing to admit to.

That's why agile is a bit vague and waffly as well. Because world+dog now calls themselves agile. And then you get all these pedantic types telling others they are doing it wrong, aren't pure enough, etc. They are the priests of agile. And they get hired by big companies for lots of money to help them become agile. Of course that requires some compromise and they adapt their definitions and standards until it's all agile and wonderful. Because the alternative would be admitting failure, which isn't mutually beneficial. You are kind of doing waterfall in an agile way For example, you plan 20 scrum sprints ahead and then act surprised reality has different plans. It's still as dumb as waterfall ever was.

Most of these companies of course deliver software just fine. They don't do it particularly fast. Or well. Also they aren't that flexible. Or particularly quick to adapt to changing circumstances. I.e. all of the things one would associate with being agile (in the adjective sense). But it's good enough to call themselves agile and still feel good about it.

People were doing awesome software long before agile development became a thing. That was never conditional on being agile (whatever that means). I've been around long enough to have seen the before and after the post-it shufflers came in and made our walls all colorful. And I can tell you that the average software project is just about the same level of a disgraceful mess as it was thirty years ago. We do a bit more of it and a bit differently. And we got some nice tools that remove some bottlenecks from our process (like automated tests and CI) and make us more productive That's not agile, it's using better tools and it helps. The tools definitely improved massively in thirty years.
I'm guessing not; what NNs do is pattern matching. Basically they try to "remember" what should be done at in a given situation, but does not have continuous representation and modelling of other objects; not even "object permanence" - when a car disappears from their world, it's gone.
For those interested in what's really going on, strongly suggest reading former President of Windows Division at Microsoft's take on Apple vs. DMA.

Contrary to the conventional wisdom, Sinofsky -- hardly an Apple fanboy -- says Apple has handled its response, including its proposed App Store changes, to the EU's DMA with aplomb, despite the law being an assault on Apple's brand promise:

Any popular language is going to seem like it sucks because everyone is going to have an opinion of it. Yes, even your favorite language that you think would be so much better on the web than JS.

We're stuck with JS because it's easier to just improve it than swap out the entire ecosystem. Now it's quite good.

'...doesn't have a clear solution.'

So what are some tools we have available to remove the profit motive from this situation?
All cars have serious security issues. The security features on any car mostly just mitigate the most severe/commonly/easily exploited issues.

Locks and electronic countermeasures merely discourage people from exploiting cars, or give the illusion of security, they don't actually provide very high security at all.

People are stealing luxury cars in American cities in large numbers right now and shipping them overseas to resell. It doesn't matter how many security systems the manufacturer has put into place. It doesn't take advanced techniques or esoteric tools. All it takes is a flatbed trailer and a hand winch from the hardware store.

Where's the line between security issue and defect? Is it a defect when it becomes popular to exploit? It is a defect when other manufacturers mitigate it? Seems like a matter of opinion to me, more than anything qualitative.
My organization uses Square for payment processing. I think they've been moribund for some time.

We have a Square card reader (a current one, which reads card chips and NFC), but their own software still doesn't support it. I mean... WTF?

Another armchair pilot here, also recommending Mentour Pilot's channel, but hopefully I can summarize it well enough.

In this case no, because the way the MCAS system operated was to actuate the stabilizer trim which changes the angle of the entire huge tail plane (the horizontal part of the tail). For the most part the yoke controls the elevator (a smaller flap on the trailing edge of the tail plane), so the pitch control authority available in the yoke movement is not enough to override the adjustment to the tail plane trim MCAS was making.

Once MCAS moved the trim far enough, you couldn't raise the nose with the yoke alone. To correct it, pilots needed to deactivate the trim adjustment motor ("stab trim cut-out" you might have heard about) and manually re-trim the tail plane by folding out a literal crank and spinning a wheel by their legs in the cockpit[1]. The concept of doing this was not new with the MAX (similar procedures around trim system malfunctions existed), but what was new was that MCAS existed in the first place, that it could repeatedly activate if the erroneous inputs were still present, and that it could move the trim quite far before pilots realized what was happening. As I understand it that is pretty different than a traditional runaway trim malfunction for which they'd had training for. I believe that looks more like a stuck switch making a constant movement of the trim until you hit the cut-out. If you cut it back in, either it immediately starts moving again and you know you have a problem or it doesn't and leaves you wondering.

Dealers and customers don't know what they want.

What's the old adage? If you asked customers what they wanted they'd have gotten a six legged horse instead of the automobile?
you know, sometimes those idiosyncratic ways have a reason for existing because they solve actual problems.

Technical people have a really bad habit of solving for theory rather than practice and they develop this attitude that those who are seemingly entering into odd behavior are just not as good or smart as them.
It's a lot worse now than it used to be. Pretty sad.

I don't understand this nightshade tool. it says the tool works for many (if not all) models without needing to accessing the weights, yet when creating a poisoned image, it requires an existing model and it tries to let the poisoned image to generate a similar feature map of the unpoisoned image.

how can it be sure that the feature map will be the same for all models?

The trades are underpaid. If you have other options why would you tear your body up so people can get services "at a resonable price"? Think about how people in the trades feel seeing people who work from home make multiples of their pay.
There are third party apps that do this already on the Quest. I believe they can replicate Mac screens, they definitely can replicate Windows PC screens into the VR space. If Apple doesn't provide a 1st party solution I suspect someone else will soon.

I know someone who has constant issues with their Window PC breaking Chrome and the only known short term fix to get Chrome working again was to rename the app to something like Chrome1. When that no longer works, the only option was to reinstall Chrome.

Don't know how wide spread the issue is but if that's happening, it's not surprising Edge would become the default, especially with reports of other dark patterns people are experiencing.

Pgvector 0.6.0: 30x faster with parallel index builds
If we were redoing Ethernet I wouldn't mind removing the CRC completely. If you want end to end reliability you should do it in the layer above ethernet. If you want link per link packet validation in a network we've already been layering advanced FEC algorithms at the physical layer for high speed Ethernet. The advantage of the latter being it's both optional and replaceable without requiring even more dynamic bits or redundant functionality in the layer 2 packet. Then on MTU make it a 32 bit field instead of a 16 bit field in case anyone wants to make hardware that supports more than 64k in the future.
The likelihood of severe injury or death goes down dramatically with lower speeds. A reasonable speed is a variable concept, but certainly minor residential streets should never have speeds in excess of 40 kmh (25 mph). My city recently reduced the limit to 40 kmh on all such streets. Now they just have to go the other 95% of the work - physically designing the streets for their posted limits, so that the option of speeding is simply removed (unless you're okay with regularly spending money at a body shop).

There are many different types of sand for many different purposes. Sand for silicon is the most expensive. Sands for construction tend to be very cheap.

I don't think glass is appropriately pure for silicon - but that would probably be the only application for sand where it could possibly be economical to manufacture rather than extract and process.

I think many people agree that disinformation is a threat, but won't admit it. Because they know that anti-disinformation efforts will be (and have been) used tactically only to silence narratives those in power dislike, and not as a neutral, dispassionate tool of truth. Weak evidence will be considered as conclusive proof, or strong evidence dismissed as inconclusive, as convenient for the fact-checkers.

For example, even though the police killings/homicides committed ratio is higher for Whites than Blacks, BLM is never cited as based on disinformation, nor are their protests during the peak of COVID cited as a risk.

I've enjoyed having a PHEV and would like to get another. But the price premium — which sometimes reaches over $10,000, is a bit much. My family drives very little, so this doesn't make economic sense for us. Perhaps I'll get a used PHEV, which might have a smaller premium.
No, but remote desktop solutions will be a popular app category for AVP. The developer of Virtual Desktop has announced that he intends to support visionOS, for example.
This is all good advice.
It looks like there's no killer app this time. They just bet on the fact that people will buy it because it's expensive and it's designed by Apple.
Buy a bunch of veg, chop it all up, stick it in air-sealed tupperware and store in the fridge. When you feel hungry, throw bits of it into a bowl and make a salad. Add generous amount of ranch dressing for taste (if you dislike veg). Maybe throw in some walnuts, sesame seeds, and bacon if you want.
