T1D here, I had to abandon the Dexcom as it had an unsilencible alert for "your sensor will expire in 6 hours", that on top of only 10 day sensor life pushed me over to the Libre 2. I now realize I could've just started the sensor in the early evening to have those alerts during the day, but I've survived 40 years without alerts. To avoid alerts I use the Libre2 reader and then use Juggluco app on my android, that was the one good thing about the Dexcom was that it could pair more than one app or device, where the Libre can't pair more than once per sensor life.
Random personal tips for better reducing the impact of low blood sugar. Eat unsaturated fat as a condiment, especially olive oil. I feel this gives me a non glucose energy source. I'm going to have to dig deep and find an alternative as the world's olive harvests are plummeting and prices are starting to spiral up. The other thing I do is take a few puffs of THC around dinner time. I don't want it affecting my daytime and it's neuroprotective effects last 24 hours and don't require much. Finally learn to use supplements and insure a good diet and supplement nutrient intake to have the rest of your systems running as well as possible. I have been taking Melatonin nearly every night since June of 1995. Melatonin upregulates insulin receptors and allows for me to take about 40% less than typical. It is a problem with the Lantis I take as I need to take only 11.5 units and have to use a needle and even then nudge my dose to a very specific spot that varies sometimes with different needles.

> can we really call it standalone if you need it to phone home to Meta?

Yes, because etymologically it's "standalone" vs. "wired"; this is akin to how phones are "mobile" vs. (when I was a kid) "landline".
I just think it's ridiculous to even be discussing gender or color when hiring. I'll interview and hire anyone capable, that's all that matters. And diversity to me is have they done anything interesting with their life, education, career, overcome adversity, something hard, creative, helpful.

It sounds like a server-side bug that forced a log out somehow. Which does really suck, Meta deserves criticism for that, but acting like this means the headset "isn't standalone" is silly, since that's not what "standalone" means in the context of VR headsets.
Using MAME's Lua integration for better retro dev
Perhaps this comment is about to be an example of the classic "why not just rebuild XYZ technology to solve a simple problem already solved 100 times?" trope among engineers, but having used Hugo and a few other markdown-based documentation builders like this, why not just build a react site and build it to static HTML[0]? I think this is the approach I'll take in the future, it always seems like just as much if not more work to learn some new SSG framework and build components for it, and seems much more complicated to add complex functionality than the usual HTML/CSS/JS we're all familiar with. If anybody has taken this approach before, I'd be curious to know your reasoning on why and/or why not this is a good idea.

> Until not long ago, plenty of places in the world wanted to model themselves after America. But after the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade almost two years ago, America has, for some nations, become a model … of what not to do.

What specific things apart from US abortion laws are 'American' in nature? If it means McDonalds outlets then fair game, but I can't think of anything else, apart from maybe the US 'hustle culture' that is always admirable.
I bet no one at Bluesky is aware of this.
The studies that claim benefits from diversity are almost always correlation, not causation. It's easy to see how reverse causation could be at play. Companies that are more profitable can afford to have diversity programs. This fact can be reframed to make it look like the diversity came first and caused the higher profitability.

When DEI studies were first being touted I used to ask to read them. I thought that perhaps I would eventually find one that actually had any rigor behind it. After reading dozens, I stopped asking. It seems that rigor is not required. Just a headline that resonates with key constituencies.
Sorry, I don't have references off the top of my head. I just recall coming across it while I was working on something related to timeseries forecasting.
It was useful as a way to pry people away from Windows 10.
The funny thing is that real Fuchsias display such a diversity of colours as to make naming the colour rather pointless. It is not substantially more sensible than calling a colour 'rose'. I'll think I will stick to the hex codes ;)

I have just been informed that my above comment is false, the CLIP-L is in fact referring to OpenAI's, despite that also being the name of an OpenCLIP model.
I think you can blame Broadcom now.
Potemkin books hahaha now I've heard everything.
Your own links point out how the Barrington Declaration was bad advice. In particular, it ignored the impact of its goal of fast herd immunity on the capacity of healthcare systems.

The libertarian free market think tank that sponsored the report should be more than happy with the freedom of private companies like Google to do as they please with their speech. Google is a private search engine, and they can index whatever they want. An omission of a website from their index is their right.
This is the movie I picked first as well!

Well, people have had that sentiment about Oracle even longer than Broadcom, but that doesn’t seem to be a problem for either of them.
Having to do a multi step dance to run a binary I downloaded with the intent to run (cause ya know it's a program) irks me to no end. SIP is a nightmare I have to fight to disable on every update, gatekeeper logs all my program launches and sends that data to apple. The list goes on and on. Essentially you can't use a Mac as a computer without learning multiple convoluted multi-step processes to do basic things like running a program and even then it's all being logged and sent to the mother ship in the name of "security."

That may be true in general, but in STEM, twice as many men graduate as women at all levels of degrees. [1]

I don't like how Apple/macOS chooses to degrade non-Apple-or-blessed-brands of devices from working well. e.g. Use of YPbPr for displays rather than RGB data, SBC codec for Bluetooth, and the like. Apple users are a means to an end.
People are naturally curious; why would they stop asking questions, especially ones that are as obvious as this one? It's not like Europe is the only colonialist society in history, so what made it so successful, especially given how backwater it has been for most of recorded history compared to well-developed states in Mesopotamia, China etc?

And to be clear, if you refuse to even contemplate questions like these, you just cede ground to people who will gleefully answer them for you with answers such as "because they are white, duh".
Audacity, but it's more for editing not music production.
You can already use it with git-annex to store binaries using the git-annex-remote-git-aafs[1] special remote.

Although I would be careful and make sure you understand what it is doing to your branch namespace. Even though in the worst case it would not save any space over directly committing binaries, they are in orphan branches that can be pruned without rewriting history.

But even so, you can just use any number of git-annex special remotes to bypass using git for sharing files.

They may eventually add first-party support for git-annex. But nothing is stopping you from using it now.

I’m fairly sure Kagi reuses Google and Bing search results, then de-craps and applies your customized preferences to them. I’m not sure it even runs its own spider.
Why would those need a lot of Rust dependencies then? If you want to hand-roll stuff, hand-roll! no_std is a thing because people use it.
No, the US can't.

Also, Wine does the same since forever for DOS binaries.

Hello Rootly CEO! Worth disclosing next time you post, I think
It does not specify any implementation details either. If they change the law to only apply in very specific cases does that go against this article?

Don't worry, we're speed running the last 50 years of computer security. What's old is now new again. Already looking at poor web application security on emerging AI/MLops tools making it rain like the 90's once again; then we have in-band signalling and lack of separation between code & data, just like back in the 70s and 80s.

I totally get your frustration, it's because you've seen the pattern before. Enjoy the ride as we all rediscover these fundamental truths we learned decades ago!
Are you actually responsible for living with the decision to make a good or bad hire? Or are you speaking in hypotheticals?
Nitpick: strictly speaking it's standalone vs tethered (which is usually wired, but could be wireless).
"You suffer because of your politics" is laundering a political statement under the guise of health.

Any recommendations are welcome.

Only certain majors would affect tech job hiring. Are men now lagging women in those majors? It's not especially relevant that there are tons more women than men getting degrees in social sciences etc.
The point is that the “other site” _is_ down for those who use Facebook to login to it.

I just bought a used M1 MBA with 16GB and 2TB for exactly this reason. $800.

I think there is a place for close air support drone between small drones and attack helicopter and fighters. VTOL means that it can operate close to the troops.

500 lbs means that it can carry rockets (which are now guided), small missiles like Hellfire, and small bombs like SDB.

The smaller size, maneuverability, and stand-off range should make it less vulnerable to MANPADs.

Most of the inroads are attributed to flexible schedules which reduces the attrition from women after the entry level

alongside the role not being ruled out entirely by the candidate

this is something I hear from other women for other career choices too, from nursing to dancing to undiagnosed mental disorders (BPD, autism), the flexible scheduling draws them over 9-5 in person office work

for tech there are more pipelines than university and an entire decade has been spent addressing that already

whats happening is likely not just what you’re sensitive to

Agree, many posts I read seem like classic "I don't like Meta/VR/big companies/social media so let me use this specific incident to confirm my biases."

As you say, there's valid criticism to be made but it's hard to find the signal through the noise.
That was my first reaction as well. Very much inspired by the wright work. It does look cool! I wonder about noise levels with all the hard surfaces and open space.
"There's nothing inherent to C that prevents bad API designs like this."

I don't have any data to back this and library interface designs are so personal taste-prone, but I would say that the average Rust crate has a better API than the average C library.
At least in tech, many companies have massive over-representation over Asian-American employees. Over-hiring cishet white males is not exactly a problem, in fact in many roles they are under-represented compared to the national slice. See the BLS data.

E.g. 50% of NVIDIA's staff is AA. Third most valuable company in the world. That's about 10x the national average. Similarly with CISCO. You can keep digging these up.

What should we do? Systematically disadvantage and discriminate against Asians (part of the honorable and noble BIPOC coalition) to make sure to return to the national averages?

Of course this also touches upon the insanity of wanting company x to match a certain demographic split. Should they mirror the world's demographics? The US's demographics? California's demographics? South Bay's demographics? Santa Clara's demographics? Each one of those is different, and nobody seems to be able to agree on which we should use as the authoritative reference. If people are going to be shaming firms for not meeting a certain bar, can we at least agree what that bar should be?

And the wage gap is most likely not going away, men are women are not identical, they do not have the same impulses, incentives, timelines, or desires. They're not perfectly homogeneous interchangeable robots that behave the same way. It's entirely not surprising that we're seeing a gap. See the Uber study which was trying to find sexism to explain their drivers' 7% wage gap, only to find out that it ultimately boiled down to risk taking, hours worked, and more aggressive driving: https://web.stanford.edu/~diamondr/UberPayGap.pdf - this is going to be true across all jobs.

Side note: the real "wage gap" is everybody vs mothers, not men vs women. If you want to advocate for making child rearing easier on mothers in the workplace, I'm fully in support.

There are many animals who have such affinity with humans, but most of them have not been successfully domesticated, so it's not that simple.

And it does seem rather obvious on its face that animals exhibiting certain kinds of social behavior, for example, would more readily adapt to a symbiotic relationship with humans than others.
The rejection method smells pretty good to me, in the sense that it should be pretty obvious to anybody with, like, middle school level math I think (right?).

It might fail for higher dimensions, but lots of programs only run on a 3D sphere of a planet, haha!
Thank you! Those new options seem very fair now :) I'd love to try your services the next time a company/client needs some accessibility work.

Cloud infrastructure that proposes verifiable bugfixes
I've seen people say this sort of stuff, even within/leading the programs. But actions speak louder than words. The organizations specifically track ethnicity and gender without tracking other diversity factors.

My own organization contracted with Auticon for an extremely small number of roles and made a huge publicity push about it. When asked what programs or assistance they have for neurodivergent employees, they had none. Any sort of career pathing or placement assistance for candidates with this issue - no.

The people leading the efforts or training might care, but the people in power don't.
In calibrating satellites getting folks like you to go out with sensors on the ground to send back well vetted data is an expensive and limiting factor. Much cheaper (and often preferred) to do as much as possible from space and do smart ground processing/data analysis to build confidence.
You can get the libraries without installer, so no installer, no EULA, no acceptance of it.
I imagine that cases like this have driven up the rent prices quite a bit.

Someone should have an LLM start generating random valid CUDA programs.

Hey presto, clean room compiler.

Edit: Oh wait.. duh.. just train it on the equivalent target source.

Presumably you can do this for other targets as well.

If this occurred during the authentication process, I think I would tell the user "Sorry, the authentication process isn't working. Try again later." rather than "Invalid credentials".

How well does kagi work for niche "reddit queries" like "best waterproof midi synthesizers reddit"?
I don't use kagi. On WA, this search results in the answer with a prompt with the engine's assumptions, and includes a link to change the assumption to "math" from "word."

These prompts don't show on kagi? Seems like including them would be an avenue for improvement.

This is one of my big frustrations with the embedded rust ecosystem (not a problem with the language IMO). They are so hell-bent on taking the typestate pattern and various abstractions to their extreme to prevent you from ever doing anything bad with the registers that the cognitive overhead of the API is unusable.

It's all great and clean if you're just writing led blinky examples. As soon as you need to dig down to some obscure datasheet minutia (as you invariably have to for any decent size embedded project), it becomes very annoying to map this back to the safe API. The code also becomes less readable since you can no longer look up things you don't understand in the datasheet.

The other this is that because of the excessive use of typestate, any driver struct needs to have a separate generic parameter for each io pin.

It snows in Texas. I wake up with many mornings of frosted windows and several week stretches below freezing. I still don't need to adjust my AC other than pressing "defrost" at the start and pressing it again later when its all melted. I'm 100% for a physical defrost button as things related to visibility should absolutely be physical, but that's not really a part of regular AC settings.

I'm still not adjusting the overall temp or vent activation or compressor on or off, I'm just setting it to max defrost and turning that off when it's done. Even when I drive to places where its below freezing every day, I'm still just leaving it on auto AC other than defrosting. Why would I need to adjust the AC while I drive when its snowing outside of defrosting? The AC can automatically adjust itself.

People say auto AC can't possibly work when its hot and sunny. People say auto AC can't possibly work when its cold out. And yet every car I've had for over 20 years of model years with auto AC has worked perfectly fine at 0F and at 110F.
Historically (and I suspect your stance is to mostly ignore history and try to make good decisions going forward) people have done a great job of hiring people that resemble themselves.

Social in-group is a powerful thing to fight against. If you can cut off the header of a resume and make hiring decisions based on that, that's awesome, but otherwise it's reasonable to be aware of and resist implicit bias in hiring.
