When I used to power my Amiga 1200 with an ATX power supply, you could power it "in reverse" by _supplying_ +12V and +5V to the floppy disk power connector on the motherboard. But for proper operation, you also needed -12V, and that had to come from the ATX motherboard plug and go into middle hole of the Amiga's power socket.

Could any electrical engineers here explain how one gets both +12V and -12V output from a +12V input?
Not only it should be, it is already illegal, for a long time, as foreign aid to Israel violates two amendments of the 1961 Foreign Aid Act, which ban aid to clandestine nuclear powers. It's broadly know Israel has nuclear weapons, and politicians there keep threatening Gaza with a nuclear holocaust [1], but the US government keeps unlawfully bankrolling them.

Rawdog: A Natural Language CLI
An CLI assistant that responds by generating and auto-executing a Python script.

You'll be surprised how useful this can be:

"How many folders in my home directory are git repos?" ... "Plot them by disk size."
"Give me the pd.describe() for all the csv's in this directory"
"What ports are currently active?" ... "What are the Google ones?" ... "Cancel those please."
Rawdog can self-select context by running scripts to print things, adding the output to the conversation, and then calling itself again. This works for tasks like:

"Setup the repo per the instructions in the README"
"Look at all these csv's and tell me if they can be merged or not, and why."
"Try that again."

Just noting because I went through the same, but I haven't found I've been able to use any LCD or OLED at very low contrast and brightness without content becoming illegible or uncomfortable without ambient light. However, a relatively smaller CRT maintains a contrast ratio that I don't seem to struggle to look at or decipher in complete darkness.

I've also tried dropping the aspect ratio on my 42" 4k OLED to 4:3 and not scaling the resolution to limit light output, but the pixel density ultimately seems to be a limiter. Since I can work on my smartphone at its lowest output and with redshift, a smaller, higher-dpi display may be key.
These discussions here wouldn't exist if he'd just posted Tupac's portrait on Twitter. But he specifically quoted a sentence with a very clear and unambiguous meaning.
We used to use these in the 1980s on our combined cadet force field days.

I was in the signals division of our school CCF (less drill and more playing with radios!) and it was our job to lay communications lines on field day. I have vivid memories of laying (what seemed like) miles of field telephone wires over heathlands and through woods and soldering them together with these self soldering sleeves.

They had a part on them like a match head which you could strike to set them off. They would get very hot and melt the solder inside the copper tube allowing you to push the two bared ends of wire in which hopefully you'd manage before burning yourself or the solder solidified again! I think they were something like thermite - they certainly smelt like it.

The CCF had lots of WWII surplus stuff, like massive radios with valves in and really leaky canvas tents!
Honestly it wasn't even having the first capable chat LLM. OpenAI released the first LLM that has interesting characteristics, based on an architecture they created to be good at this task (Generative Pre-trained Tranformers) and then iterated on improving those characteristics - It took them a while before they had a model capable of following instructions well. There was lots of interest in OpenAI when they released GPT-1 and much more when they released GPT-2.

All the while this was going on Google slept - I think the reasons for this are varied and many, stretching into company culture, structure, processes etc. This was after researchers at Google created the Transformer architecture in the first place.

Google seemed to panic suddenly when ChatGPT was released. I think this is when the people who could actually make change realised that ChatGPT could be a threat to Google in a number of ways - including for search market share.
I looked this up yesterday. The regulations are around the use of robodialers but the political messages generally aren’t using robodialers. Instead they use an army of people with burner phones to send messages person-to-person to avoid the regulations.

> it unfairly punishes property owners in soft rental markets like the one we have now.

Eh? I mean, conversely, allowing the property industry to leave properties vacant unfairly punishes ~all other industries, along with the general public. What's special about the property industry here?

"We should leave people without anywhere to live, and harm the economy in general, to facilitate a small part of the economy" is a pretty weird argument.

(I do think that possibly some individual property investors believe that, rather than running a rather complex and highly regulated business, they are buying into a passive investment magical money machine. These people should probably consider just buying shares in a REIT, instead.)
Asking the real questions, thanks.
> I find this very hard to believe. Isn't it "everyone who is interested in the commit subject/files touched should read the body". Why would anyone else read immutable historical documentation?

So yes for 720p low bitrate stuff it's not so much of a difference, but as others said watch some real content in 1080p or better 4k and your CPU will definitely break a sweat and the fans spin up.

Now that I think of it with your claim of it not even registering as a blip in taskmanager I'd actually argue you're probably using hardware decoding without noticing, because I wouldn't know which player (esp if on Windows) wouldn't make use of it.
The only big change which isn't just churn is changing the messaging system to DDS. My problems with ROS1 aren't related to the implementation details of the messaging system. It's the build system, the difficulty of adding tests, the difficulty of writing deterministic systems with their messages being inserted in the middle of everything, needing to put everything through their messages, and in the end the fact that I can't use ROS for a system and non-ROS for another system and have them work together nicely.

> FPV drones can almost be crafted locally, though, using off the shelf components.

The COTS components are all made in China. That's why no Western military is planning to use them in wartime - that supply chain is depending on the good will of an adversary.
Russian genocidal war against Ukraine is not yet settled and the weapons used there are in constant evolution. If anything it is the response of Israel to the 7th October genocide that shows that expensive weapon systems in the hands of competent military still triumph any low cost approaches.

Friend, you've hit the nail on the head.

As another example, I purchased an Xbox One years ago. Imagine my surprise when I turned it on this past November 3rd only to see a fullscreen ad for a videogame, before I could even sign in! And then again for some gamedev conference only a few weeks later!

Not sure (but pretty sure) that from the Xbox 360 onwards there have always been advertisements on the 'dashboard' - but you never had to explicitly interact with the ads before you could do anything else with the darn thing.
Sorry if I'm misunderstanding your comment's implication. But this is not hardware decoding. This is software decoding on the GPU.

NVIDIA for example has specialized (en/de)-coding hardware on their GPUs, which is different. And even that works together with their GPGPU Cuda cores.
RethinkDB attempts to do something like this, but I agree, an efficient SQL version of this would be nice.
I'd propose the following line of reasoning:

- people tend to use company devices for private stuff, even when its explicitly prohibited,
- draconian policing leads to employee dissatisfaction; you won't be able to fire that great engineer you spent 3 months hiring because he logged in to Spotify running within Chrome, and if you can - and do - soon you will be unable to hire top talent,

Thus, even with those policies in place, end user devices still need to be considered un-trusted. Specifically, that they can be key-logged and remote accessed by the attackers.

Hence,
(a) anything sensitive should involve transaction level validation, not just end user authentication,
(b) for logging in an out, as well as for confirming sensitive operations, proper MFA needs to be in place (physical key + token on a mobile device, for instance),
(c) apply lightweight, reasonable restrictions to reduce the chances of device compromise dramatically (e.g., no downloading of 3rd party apps or binaries - but do whitelist things like Skype or Spotify, force strong password for devices, etc).

This means reasonable personal use is perfectly fine, employees happy, and you are safer vs. assuming local devices are clean.
Mate, no I don't say this to my friends, but even if I take your point: if I say it to my friends there won't be any impact on anyone's life. Gary's rant absolutely has a potential to impact lives. So you chose your words to the occasion, no?
What was most shocking to me was not the corporate incompetence (I'm used to that), but the fact that 5 million devices had been recalled. I had no idea there were so many people that used a sleep apnea machine.

I'm wondering if common wisdom will change dramatically in the next 50-100 years on human lifestyles, and most of these diseases will be largely resolved (like gout was for the upper classes of a few centuries ago).
Nah, I feel like this is a thing everywhere. At least in Japan I see exactly the same thing.
That app literally broke YouTube's agreements with the music labels though (by allowing free downloads etc), which this one doesn't.

Change regulations now, legislation usually works like "From [date a few years in the future], only vehicles with [list of proerties] will be allowed to be..." Manufacturers managed to switch to building only trucks and SUVs in a few years, so of course they can switch back in a few years too.

Also: Funny how people used to be able to get around in sedans and station wagons even in Canada and the northern states of the USA only a few decades ago, isn't it?

ETA: The Subaru Outback doesn't only look like a station wagon, AFAICT it pretty much is a station wagon. A 4WD station wagon, set slightly higher and with a somewhat boxier design to look "like a SUV" -- just like 98.4% of "crossovers" and "SUVs" sold nowadays. Get rid of the silly regulations that have many of them taxed like "trucks" (as if they were farm work vehicles in the 1950s) and allow some aspects of unsafe design (high square bonnets etc), and we'll probably see fashion too swing away from the current faux-macho bullbar aestethic after a while.
They're going to have a very hard time then. Your military has a small number of larger and way more expensive drones which require specialized training. Your adversary also has a large number of cheap Chinese drones and the expertise to use them is widespread. Guess who gets a grenade in their tank hatch and who gets their mortar fire corrected. They will be sitting ducks to FPV unless they have enough electronic warfare to reliably close the entirety of 200 km front.

On Ukrainian front both sides go as far as to install CCTV to watch their adversaries' movement while in their improvised bunker. These are also civilian systems which get delivered to the front by volunteers. Ukrainian war is notably BYOD. It helps that both sides figured out to pay good money to soldiers on the ground.
Would love to see an example of a simple “consumer” app - like a todo app. Most of the examples on the website are of embedded/enterprise software.
He admits it uses the official embed API, doesn't block or skip ads and generally plays nice with their systems. He's not trying to circumvent anything, he's just filling a gap left by Google themselves.

It would be quite the precedent for Google to shut someone down who is technically playing by all their rules.

(Yes I'm sure the ToS allows them to do this if they want to - but it would be a bad look).
> Use your head. Do your research.

Exactly. Just show me tweets well-sorted and let me decide. Don’t tell me “here is truth” (which is what “here is context” is intended to look like).

> right. It should be quick but I have no way to tell how long it took for the better note to prevail

You can’t. Because the implementation is botched.

> Nobody wants that.

Nobody wants community notes as is. Anyone who wants them only wants them because it’s a great way to disseminate disinformation.

> With community notes you can choose to ignore the context

Just like you could have chosen to ignore lies in the actual tweet without any community notes adding yet another layer of lies, only harder to ignore because it is now called “context” but really is just some guy’s opinion that won a popularity contest.

The context should just be a top reply, but then who would pay Elon 8 bucks to show up first?
Steve Jobs always said in Apple if we don't cannibalize our own products someone else will eat them for us. So the answer is Google isn't willing to take risks like it used to.

Caught that you mentioned gout.

I recently got gout when I really pushed my body hard by running 4x my normal distance in one week, still worked out, kept eating lots of junk (lots of sugary stuff), and drinking 3-4 drinks a night regularly. I also got a cold. Right after that, I got hit with massive toe pain on one foot.

Thankfully it was just a little bit of prednisone but it caused me to back off drinking and eat less sweet things. I'm relatively fit (~35" waist, 203-205ish pounds at 6'1"), but I also dropped down about 5 pounds (was about 208-210) after that and will probably continue to lose more.
