I added a cron job to one Pi that checks if wifi is up and tries to restart it if not.

I also had an LG monitor that had so much feedback it would disable the WiFi interface completely. So I would check your monitor, if the pi is connected to one.
The paper (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2402.07939.pdf) says it is a universal tool to automate all kinds of work on Windows apps, like generating an email in Outlook or building slides based on some documents on Powerpoint. Cross-app working seems to be bad for now.

On a side note, it looks like this thing can be a terrific cheating tool in Strategy video games..

I remember the denialism on tech-focused forums like this one about that move, turns out it was the correct one from the owner's point of view. Of course that it s*cked big time for the employees being laid-off, but that's why we need to unionise in this industry and form some sort of solidarity/class consciousness, i.e. realising that the likes of "Zuck", "paulg", "Sam Altman" are not our friends, to the contrary.
I’ve literally never seen this happen in the tech world
This is a problematic position, you can say that big tech profits are also funded by the taxpayers since they employ people trained through public resources(most people don't study %100 private).

We Have to Start Over: From Atom to Zed
The one thing we know about the arrow of causality is that it doesn’t point backwards in time. The founding members of the EU all had friendly relations with each other prior to the founding of the EU. That’s why they formed the EU!
I have an impression that it has become easier to fit carry-on luggage. When I was younger I was that guy with the giant carry-on. It used to happen that I needed to hand off my carry-on to the flight attendant as there was no place for it near my seat. Even when I had a smaller bag, it was often not possible to find room in the overhead bin.

Over the past 10 or so years, that never happened. Now, I often pack a medium backpack which I can stuff under the seat in front of me, and not have to rely on the over-head bins. We now often travel with a family of five, so in theory it should be even worse. It seems that people, including us, have been conditioned to pack smaller carry-ons.

So far so good, looking to loose more but I seem to have plateaued right now I have not lost any additional weight in the last month... would like to get to 170 which would be another 30 pounds. Luckily my wife works for a hospital and has excellent insurance which covers it. Most people have to pay equivalent to an expensive car payment for it.
Sounds like very low dosages; for comparison:

Re financing, they’re incredibly expensive in the US, but in the UK Ozempic ends up being ~£200 a month, and many people seem to find they save that much in food costs. Also this stuff is dead easy to manufacture, every pharma company seems to have their own version in the pipeline, and some of the very first versions (eg liraglutide, from memory) aren’t too far off patent expiry.
I think not in large scale yet, but there are experiments.

> "Solar panels in a field will necessarily cast a shadow. This can be
beneficial for some crops, for others not. In Northern Europe, agrivoltaic production seems to be suitable for crops such as onions, grains, potatoes, and root vegetables, perhaps also strawberries or raspberries. In areas where the sunshine is more intense, solar panels can reduce evaporation and lay the foundation for higher production than otherwise. In southern Europe, solar panels can probably be combined with vines or olive bushes," says van der Pouw.

I have 2 Pis running basically non-stop (2-3 power outages) with the same SD card since 2017 (DNS/print server and Kodi, media is on external NFS). The only thing I did was to disable all logs. Never had a single problem.

They both have SanDisk 2 GB cards in them. I vaguely remember naively thinking along the lines of "less space => less bit density => better reliability".

I had to do it in one project. It's not trivial, but also not too difficult. Getters were easy, setters required different types of values. After handling various date type values for setters it worked fine. Occasionally I would see an exception for fields generated by APIs like Lombok, which needed to be excluded from my setter list.

I didn't like that I had tobdo it, but it was easier than getting several approvals to get Sonar rules changed.
Indeed, it also has that fixed track perspective that was fairly iconic for NES era racing games. The only game I am aware of that does not have this is the homebrew F-Theta [1] for the Famicom that was released in 2021. The game looks cute and simple, but it gets fairly brutal a few courses in. For those that are prude, beware that Little Sound put in cutscenes that may not be to your liking. Probably this was either to show off or explore some fairly fancy animation compression techniques (I suspect the same technique is used for compressing the dynamic track perspective) that I personally have not really seen the likes of apart from in Little Limit's Bad Apple!! Famicom "port" [2].

I would say almost everything is acceptable once you understand the balance and how it impacts you if you do/over do it.

I agree there are a lot of normalised addictions, including the modern trend of counting every step, heart rate beat, times you go in the bathroom and even sleep analysis so you can compare to your friends.

I think such things make sense only as a means for more compact instruction encoding. Eventually, you will get bigger chips that will implement some form of register renaming anyway, to compensate for bottlenecks in the ISA.
As can be seen in the first seconds of the lectures, Timothy Snyder is a professor at Yale [1], a private university, so he cannot be considered a government employee.

Additionally, even in government run universities in the west, there is the concept of academic freedom[2], meaning that faculty are able to teach their material freely without having to fear retaliation from the government (in the United States, this is effectively limited to "tenured" professors, it's more general in other countries.)

That, plus they don't have energy sovereignty. Similar to China, they want energy sovereignty and want to derisk from global political instability. So they're turning to renewables. It's smart. The cost curve pushed the decision over the edge.

Also being near the equator, the sun is stable. Countries like Denmark who are far from the equator will probably keep pursuing wind more aggressively than solar, unless the solar cost curve continues down.
It's more useful to use AI (or simply your human brain) to design good user interfaces in the first place, instead of using it to paper over flabbergastingly terrible user interface designs.

Another nice thing you can do if you use the multi-partitioned memory overlayFS approach I mentioned earlier is you can make /var/docker be a symlink to your read-write data partition. Obviously you are going to have problems using docker with the standard memory overlayFS approach.

Also nice, is you can make your data or other partitions be encrypted. I've done this before. On the Pi 5 you can use the standard encryption as there's hardware support. On earlier Pi's you can use the encryption used for android. This does means there's a manual step in the startup for you to enter your encryption password.

You should start with the developing of the product as is happens, then use Continuous Improvement process to improve the development process.

You can use SCRUM/Kanban/SaFE/LeSS, hybrid or other Agile methodology, or no process at all, but it will not help when people are not trained to be proper part of the process.

For example, a PM may replace SCRUM meeting with a status meeting, because it makes his job easier, while PM or other M should not attend a SCRUM meeting at all, unless called in by engineers. The proper moment for interaction between PM and engineer are beginning/end of a ticket, sprint review, and sprint planning.

I find it perfectly precise in what it tells you what you need to optimize for. It just doesn't tell you how because it couldn't possibly know. But finding out is hard work.

What the fraudsters are telling you is that you don't need to do any of the things in the manifesto because they know everything already. A general lack of industriousness on the part of software companies is really what makes not just Agile, but the consulting space in general, ripe for fraud.

As far as I'm aware, this has been thoroughly debunked, especially by Hunt and Lipo [1], who have argued against the "ecocide" theory, pointing out that the deforestation appeared to have had a positive effective on the islander's agriculture, and that contrary to Diamond's claims, the population was increasing, not falling, at the time of European contact.

The deforestation was almost certainly caused by the Polynesian rat, as archeological research has shown that the same type of deforestation happened on other islands where rats where accidentally introduced, but not on settled islands where there were no signs of rats having been introduced. I believe Diamond (or maybe it was Heyerdahl) claims the settlers chopped down the forest in order to make rolling logs for transporting statues, but we now know that statues were transported by "walking" them using ropes [2].

As a pop-sci counterpart to "Collapse", I recommend the podcast The Fall of Civilization's episode on Easter Island [3], which includes this newer research. The podcast is wonderful in general, and that episode is one of the best in the series.

As far I'm concerned, Diamond has a lot to answer for in perpetuating these modern myths that get repeated long after they've been debunked. His narratives catch people's interest because they are simple explanations that "make sense", and come with a kind of moral component, one of dramatic irony (the settlers were so stupid to chop down their trees, just to make these useless statues!). Diamond also wrote about Greenland and argued for the same kind of story there, despite evidence to the contrary.

There is an entire academic book [4] devoted to debunking Diamond's claims, which should tell you how annoyed real archeologists, anthropologists, and historians are with his books.

Hmm. When it comes to "a terrible waste," I seem to have ended up at exactly the opposite conclusion for myself, that I would feel like it had been so much more of a waste to die having only done the work and built the relationships that accompany short stays in a variety of places, and never having done the deep work of belonging anywhere.

Please mind that I wasn't addressing symbolism at all, nor deconstruction. It was more about, "for what I wrote, my intent usually was (…) to evoke emotion."

If I know as a reader that there is no genuine expression behind this, no intent of evoking anything, that it's rather patched together, based on stochastic heuristics in order to mend seamlessly, this just doesn't work. Much the same, I mentioned earlier in another comment that I believe AI generated images to occupy pretty much the negative space of abstract expressionism and informal painting. (Both styles withstand quite robustly any attempts of simple analysis.) It's really about this particular stretch, transposing inner and outer impressions into expressions, what I'm concerned with. This sort of establishes kind of a net, in which we, as humans, may suspend in. (E.g., if you are enjoying yourself in nature, does it matter, whether this is organic, has eroded and grown in certain ways, in a polylog of beings and forces, or if this is just a generated prop made of plastic? I bet, it does.)

For a more concrete example, take light in figurative art. All images are modelled from and by light, and it's quite natural that we should explore an image along its lines. Light and the way it spreads emphasises the image, even if there was no intention of doing so, just by "how it works". These are choices, equally if made intentionally and consciously or not. It's the trace and trait of a human being. But, if there was no intent, if it's just patches mended to meet up, based on weighted averages, a transferred texture? Even if there are sculpted objects and dark and light patches to look at, is there light, at all? Is it even worth noting? How should this work for me? Is there any meaning in looking closely at this?

The Nature Photonics article can be found here:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41566-024-01394-2

This appears to be the same paper published on arxiv:

https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.00793

The abstract describes the actual problem that these photonic chips solve:

> We designed and experimentally demonstrated a vector–matrix product for a 2 × 2 matrix and a 3 × 3 matrix. We also designed a 10 × 10 matrix using the proposed 2D computational method. These examples demonstrate that these techniques have the potential to enable larger-scale wave-based analogue computing platforms.

It appears the main contribution of this paper is not so much a new chip technology, but a new way to efficiently model the flow of light through a particular kind of chip (using raised and lowered bumps of silicon) that makes designing photonic chips that compute matrix multiplications practical.

For a fixed matrix, they can design a chip that approximately multiplies that matrix by an input query vector, using light.

Being a fixed matrix severely limits the usefulness of this for now, especially at the 2x2 and 3x3 sizes, but it could be useful if it could be made much larger, or ways to vary the contents of the matrix are discovered.
Back in 2011 I made a commercial product that ran on the earliest plug computers from global scale technologies. I only sold 20 of 'em and every single one of them was being returned with SD card corruption problems. I had to quickly pivot to keeping the rootfs read-only. I've been a fan ever since.

Incidentally, that early commercial product was a home security product with a very small amount of home automation. I released this into open source with a new name in 2021 and now runs on the Jetson series SBCs (https://github.com/hcfman/sbts-install). Except then including high end YOLO models as triggers.

Because it was intended to be a standalone product it supported https with a GUI wrapper around all of the certificate operations. This still exists in my open source version, making it easy to use self signed certificates for intra-device rest calls.

But I've kept and expanded upon the multi-partition memory overlayFS approach and the installation of this system first asks you to install the sbts-base system, which installs the multi-partition memory overlayFS so that other's can use this as their own base systems.
This is a paper?

That's still the case, depending on how you define indie. I'm not aware of any major AAA game made with Unity.
Another problem is that the Agile OGs keep overselling their methodology.

They keep saying that waterfall just doesn't work, yet almost all commercially successful (and unsuccessful) software is produced that way, whether they claim to use Agile or not. Would it be better if they used "real Agile"? Of course! But you only ever have to be just good enough.

My problem with children and AI is much more practical. My daughter (17) is an artist, and she wanted to begin a career in animation. However, the progress in generative AI (namely Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, and now Sora) makes this a dubious idea.
