Here's a test. Google something like 'flat tow jeep'.

Now read the first 10 'articles' which are all articles written solely for SEO purposes to sell you a service. You need to read through a lot of useless text before you find a line that says 'check your manual for how to enable flat towing in your transfer case and transmission'.

So it's like a long tease and at the end you're still not getting a satisfactory answer.

And overall the more your search terms are related something the average American searches for, the more junk there is.

I hear stories about Amazon, but NEVER about other warehouses. That's the whole point.

> I’ve never heard that about other Swiss companies I purchase from. It’s probably not paradise. It’s still not Amazon level of hell and exploitation.

That does not follow. You've "never heard" anything one way or another, which means that you have no evidence of any kind.

I, on the other hand, have personal experience with working in non-Amazon warehouses. They all sucked.

This is an obvious pump and dump scam grift.

I thought we have learned from the crypto hype that stuff like tea.xyz and others in the crypto / blockchain nonsense space are setup for investors to dump tokens on others trying to make money out of it.

It is unfortunate that this is now targeting open source developers and it is even more disappointing that this is made from the creator of Homebrew.

Who is the customer of this and why?, there is still no use case at all. A solution in a perpetual search of a non existent problem.

Shame.
This is true, however at the end of the day - this would work out to a per kwh cost of overbuilt infrastructure. Is there a reliable study of what this kwh cost is?

In New England we pay upwards of 14 cents per kwh or higher. My understanding is that this would buy a substantial overbuilt, it's likely that energy prices upwards of 30 cents per kwh would be politically viable provided there were guardrails to keep heat/hot water cheap.
Coal is being displaced already.

This results in a unique combination of oppressive policing and incompetence at dealing with any crime that requires investigation. Police don't follow the fiction of police procedurals, they wander around blindly looking for "suspicious" people or rifling through people's stuff.
> ‘One summer day, 40 years ago or so, I was walking along a residential street when an rich, earthy scent wafted my way and triggered, as smells are wont to do, a vivid recollection. Like Dorothy, stepping out of her front door into the Technicolor Land of Oz, I remembered another summer’s day when I was 4 years old, playing in a bank of warm, black dirt in the back yard of my home. I had a little red toy car for which I’d made a road slanting up the face of the dirt bank and, in my recollection, I was ‘driving’ the car up this mountain road while making motor noises. That’s all there was, no real action, yet the memory, in the few seconds before it faded away, was redolent with the smell and feel of the warm dirt, the bright colour of the toy, the hot sun – with simple but intensely pleasurable sensory experience. When I read Aldous Huxley’s account of his mescaline experience, of his feeling that the colours, shapes, and textures of his books on the shelves across the room were as intense an experience as he could bear and that he dared not look outside at the flowers in the garden, I thought of my brief revisitation of my childhood’.

Right now this display has the problem that the darkest color you can achieve is the color/brightness of the light coming through the screen. A sufficiently bright background will wash out the image entirely.

Why not put a grayscale LCD panel behind the MicroLED screen to allow the display to be locally opaque? Control it with an alpha channel for the whole display. Then you could have windows or objects appearing to float in space, with full dynamic range available.

I'm not sure your situation but assuming you are a programmer in a high wage country you can have quite a lot of fun going off packing SE Asia and similar and living by beaches, jungles for not much money for a few months. Then you'll probably get an idea for a plan B when bored with the beaches.
I think the growth before profits mentality of SV startups has been cargo culted way too far. Free to play games demonstrate an alternative model (pushing customers to spend via service rate limits, cosmetics and limited time deals) that is more honest in my opinion, since the value proposition is right there for the user to see, and it lets you monetize without degrading the experience for the average user (as long as you know how to manage your whales).

Cops are the biggest or second biggest line item in most municipalities. It is more likely a problem of misallocation where crime that is actually economically significant gets short shrift because cops stay busy with activities that don't have a positive effect.
Interesting, might be useful as a backup connection.

Currently I am using https://silent.link since several years and I am very happy with that. For 5$ you get a eSim without any time limit and roaming in almost all networks in almost all countries. You just pay for ever MB of data a reasonable amount (not as cheap as local options, but not bad either). This is perfect as a backup eSim for traveling, even just in my own country because I can roam in all three available networks. You can only pay with Bitcoin/Lightning but it works great since 3 years or so. This is just so much better than all those travel sims which only work for 30 days in only one country...

"...You may be wondering - the functions and aren't periodic, how come we can still decompose them into sine/cosine sums? One trick is to set the period to infinity, and compute the series at this limit."

Wouldn't this effectively make frequency 0?

Later on for the drawings you pick period T to be equal to 1, thus frequency to be 2*pi. This does make more sense both practically and mathematically too.

P.S. A small nit, a typo "f_t and y_t" should rather be "f_x and f_y". Very fun read, thanks!

I mean, yes, obviously yes.

And just having a remote key is not really a security risk, the problem starts with keyless-start systems, but even those have been mostly resolved now with most recent tech.

Eh I think it's interesting. Added it to some of my eligible projects, I'll wait and see how it goes.
The paper doesn't appear to consider impact of the child's weight, whether the task at hand demands strength/endurance v. dexterity/control, and the related natural strength bias between men and women.

The wife is right-handed whereas I'm left-handed, and we both currently prefer cradling with our non-dominant arm; my prevailing driver is head control (while standing), whereas hers is both head control and dexterity during feeding (while sitting).

Despite our daughter being just a month old and 9 lbs, the wife is already remarking that she's starting to get "heavy". As our child puts on more weight, I'm expecting to see the wife use her dominant arm more to cradle in certain scenarios, predicated by the baby's growth outpacing her arm strength buildup. In contrast, my non-dominant arm is notionally several times stronger than her dominant, so I suspect there will much fewer reasons for me to pivot as the child grows.

As an aside, I truly do find it strange that child weight doesn't appear to be taken into any meaningful consideration. I understand that an innovation out of Europe which spread like wildfire in the US are car seats with rotating carriages (delayed adoption speculatively due to safety regulations). Many years ago, a close friend was first exposed to them when renting a car while on vacation in Iceland; he claimed that the UX of moving his daughter in and out was such a "game changer" that he immediately ordered one upon return, and it was one of the first things he recommended when I was soliciting wisdom in the months before my child was born.
I am not sure where you are, but opiates (morphine, heroine), benzos (valium, xanax), stimulants (Aderall, cocaine), hallucinogens (mushrooms, acid, mescaline) and more have been available for a very long time and teen substance abuse can be very experimental partially because of limited availability. It can be hard to get their drug of choice so they try something new.

Not really. Euler was inspired by the trivial riddle to create graph theory. Graph theory answered many, many interesting questions.
In my opinion the only solution is a drastic drop in number of human beings. Thankfully we wont have to do much since nature will do it for us when the droughts begin and the crops start failing. Its fun to think of how we will science ourselves out of this as we go over 8 billion people who all desire an ever increasing standard of living. However the only science we will science ourselves with are going to be fully autonomous suicide drones patrolling our borders for any straggling climate refugees and also drones inside our ruined cities patrolling for dissent.
That's my take on the thing at least
The US has become a frightening country in many ways to a travelling EU citizen.

I like to stroll around cities aimlessly but have met so many drug addicted, homeless and mentally unwell people just walking around like zombies with apparently no help it's almost unbelievable in the last years.

Last time i visited NY it had become so bad it honestly killed all joy - there were wandering rambling half naked people everywhere. I've never seen anything like it in the EU despite poverty in the East. I also tried taking the subway just a little bit out of the rich downtown areas and wow, abject poverty, dirt in the streets, open drug use just a few kilometers from the centre with no end in sight.

After watching various documentaries about the Sackler family and the medical industry in general i've come to one conclusion, it's entirely the fault of your own deregulated oligarch controlled system and not "the brown, yellow or russian people on the other side of earth that are doing the bad things yet again".

You have a wonderful country and so many great people so it really saddens me it's become so dystopian, so unequal and with so apparently little safety net for the very vulnerable.
Mark is intimately aware of those programs and the hurdles they can create, he works directly with many of them. However he has repeatedly had people who come to him begging for help, and then they do nothing to actually realize that help. Even the most basic "Be outside your motel room I bought you at 11am to get in the car I will send that will take you to the counselor I'll pay for" and then they ghost it.

At the end of the day, they would in fact rather live on the street doing dope rather than live in a (paid for) motel room (or even apartment) and work a job.
The backlash to the Oxy abuse in the US has caused doctors to swing to the other direction where they don't want to prescribe stronger pain killers or narcotics to anyone for fear of being labeled as a drug dealer. The consequences are that many people turn to other markets where fake pills laced with fentanyl are lurking. I have several friends with real chronic pain issues and they are treated like drug seekers by their physicians and have to "justify" every single pill request like they are children. I can totally see why even adults would seek alternative options.

I work in enterprise saas as well and I can't imagine how bad this customer must be that they can break pricing unless VMware runs really low margins vs the industry. There must be other things as well

8m is 0.6% of their revenue, and they grew in revenue 4% from 2022 to 2023[1]. Losing 0.5% kinda hurts when they are growing that slowly. That 8m can't be that easily magicked out of existing customers or the freed up resources supporting that customer they fired. I know nothing about their business or financials however

I've been saying this for months but every time I get down voted for saying it. It annoys me that people fall for these marketing tactics and keep promoting and advertising the product for free. It's not just the models though- even tools that started off as open source ended up aiming for VC and stopped being totally open.

Examples: LlamaIndex, Langchain, and most likely Ollama.
There hasn't even been a ruling on that case yet. There was an injunction, but characterizing that as "struck down" is misleading. Also, if you read the original complaint[1], there's far more to the case than just "collecting data from children is a form of speech protected by the First Amendment".

I've been struggling with getting my ten-year-old across this gap. He's outgrown Scratch/Roblox and I don't think PICO-8 is quite the right set of abstractions (no built in entity system, seriously?); we're working with Godot right now and he's making progress, but it's definitely a lot more of a learning curve figuring out how to do stuff in a tool that has everything.
> Granted, some see it as cheating, but if it improves my happiness, I'm fine with cheating a bit as long as it doesn't hurt others

It's surprisingly controversial to recognize that the amount of happiness money gets you has diminishing returns, but empirically it's always seemed true to me. If you goal is to maximize happiness, trying to make money from some activities can make you _less_ happy. I guess I'm just not enough of a capitalist to see the value of money that doesn't make me any happier, but after having enough to be comfortable and secure enough about my ability to continue to be in the future, money stops being a motivator for me.
> Think of it like communists refusing to allow private ownership - the evidence is available that private ownership leads to better results overall and they understand the mechanics of how it works.

This leans on too many historically and philosophically contentious points to be a useful comparison imo. I'm not sure who you mean by "the communists," presumably the USSR and the early PRC? But they both had quite different economic systems, and if your argument centers around "they didn't have private property," then, we should toss in a couple fascist regimes as well, at which point, are we discussing communism, or simply systems with no, or with arbitrarily removed, private property? Cause that could include feudalism. Or are we discussing central planning systems, in which case, that could be ANY system, regardless of whether or not there's private property. (and by property are we including toothbrushes lol?)

And honestly it does also depend on what you mean by better results overall. In this article it seems a key argument is made:

> The first element, that’s the one that used to be present but isn’t anymore, is a large public sector, because you need a large enough bureaucracy that can supervise all the contractors.

Many conflate public sector with socialist tendencies, and the person being interviewed here seems to imply that the lack of socialist tendency in the USA (I doubt we'd disagree about that!) is hampering its ability to engage in public projects effectively. Wouldn't that be in opposition to your point? Sure, Germany isn't communist, but many would say it is closer to it than America, and it has better trains.

And the USSR absolutely had better trains. Whether it was truly communist, or something else, I feel is moot - it seems to be the thing you're describing as "worse results," but, it had better results, surely? Unless you think the USSR's public transit system wasn't good?
It's a mystery, not a dilemma.

In response to all the nuclear power discussion in this thread, see thorium molten salt. We have had the technology since Oak Ridge in the 70s. We ignored it because the existing refinement infrastructure is conveniently "dual use" for nuclear weapons.

It must be emphasized that solar panels, wind turbines and batteries are products of carbon-burning industry. They have their place but we don't have the metals to repair and replace them in the long term, and we don't yet know if a fully electric industrial society is even possible. E.g. how do you reach the necessary temps in a blast furnace without melting your heating element?

Electrifying civilization as we know it is politically palatable, but the feasibility studies are few, and those that have been done are sobering. Any analysis which ends without a serious look in the mirror is likely serving some special interest. To expect that modernity can continue in the same mold, with hydrocarbons swapped out for something else, smacks of nostalgia or naivete. Alternative energy sources are needed, absolutely; but even more important is to transform the way we relate to each other, to other life forms, to natural resources, and to this generation ship we call a planet.
