> Though I believe a more proactive approach is probably not even feasible unless public funding increases by an order of magnitude, which is of course highly unlikely.

It may not even be the best method anyway:

Preserving finds ex-situ is only a plus if that ex-situ storage 'outperforms' original site. And keeps doing so over time.

Say eg. you have 1001 artefacts kept in climate-controlled rooms in a museum. Great! And now a fire (or flood, earthquake, thieves, vandals, whatever) comes along. Potentially many artefacts lost in 1 go.

Which might not have happened had those artefacts stayed in their original locations.

Remember items sat where found, for a long time. Over similar timespans a lot can happen to any alternative storage location.

So unless threatened somehow, "just leave in place & document" seems like a sensible approach. And potential pollution with microplastics or whatever does not necessarily equate to "threatened".

I'm sure it is meaningful, but not everyone is willing or able to take on the stress of raising children. Seemingly less and less are as fertility declines across developed (and even developing) world. And you can say they don't need much, but without rigorous education, their future looks pretty grim to me. Won't you encourage your kids to attend the best college they can?

Right, the best you could do would be to base it off of the car model associated with the license plate. But then you might just get people driving their old beaters into the city, which would have worse emissions than their newer cars and be worse for everyone who is near them on the street.

Somewhat off-topic question: has anyone ever been seriously punished for violating MiFID requirements? Has anyone ever tried to ask a market participant for five years old trading data and verify it is synchronized with UTC?

I've yet to see anyone who seriously tried to be compliant both to the spirit and to the letter of MiFID. It's both hard and expensive to the point where the fine expectancy might be lower than implementing costs. Everyone do just enough to plausably deny they're not compliant.
a huge portion of car trips are made with only one person in the car, so it's still a fair comparison for all those trips.
Any chance it'll also be streamed live?

I'm in Boston, but guessing 13 speakers is a long time to be in an event space with a lot of students bused in from various schools. (1-on-1 or few-on-few can be better in-person, but remote works a lot better for talks.)

Also, Covid is going around the schools right now, and not everyone would let having Covid preclude a networking opportunity like this. Which would be a reason in favor of streaming (i.e., lower the incentive to make a lot of people sick). And also a reason some people would opt to watch the stream.
I wish this came with some stats on how many cars per day this will effect and what percent of total traffic in the zone that is.

The Pico 4 is actually a really good headset. It's not officially released in the US market, but can be imported from EU sellers, which is how I got mine. The resolution is pretty good and good enough to replace a monitor, imo. I've used it with the Immersed app and liked it. It's also really small and light compared to other headsets.

The Pimax Crystal has great resolution and virtually no glare, but it is too heavy and bulky to wear for extended periods of time.

At work, I have setup and support the Meta Quest 3. It's also a good headset, but I don't feel compelled to get one at all. The visuals comfort are on par with the Pico 4, but the Pico 4 is cheaper and not dragged down by the Meta software. Though, it should be noted that I use it for PCVR almost exclusively with Virtual Desktop.
> the component that is getting lost in our culture, which in other cultures is still more present is that grandparents play an active role in helping the young parents to raise their children. in chinese culture for example the young couple moves in with the husbands parents, and so grandparents are always around to give advice and help.

No. Undoubtedly No. There are some applications that will benefit directly from this technological improvement, but it is not a widely applicable as everyone is making it to be.
In the areas what it is broadly applicable, it will improve efficiency and also a loss of a few jobs, which might make it mostly neutral from an economic point of view.
It does not. Iraqi citizens were not stripped of their civil rights during eight years of American occupation*. An occupying power has responsibility to the civilian population which they occupy, and does not grant rights on dictating which civil rights they have. That is for their own government to decide.

I know this is not a case of apartheid, btw. I was only rebutting your claim that if this were a civil right issue, then it would somehow be OK. But if you were right that it was just a civil right issue, then it wouldn’t. You can’t occupy a state, and strip them of rights which your own citizens have. That is apartheid.

But what is going on here is not apartheid, it is a war crime. Israel isn’t merely stripping occupied citizens of their rights. Israel is a annulling any distinction between a civilian and combatants, and treating the entire civilian population as combatants, including by employing dubious mass surveillance tactics.

---

* Edit, to clarify. Many Iraqi citizens were indeed stripped of their civil rights (as we know from documents leaked by Chelsea Manning). However those cases constituted war crimes and in some cases the criminals were even prosecuted and found guilty.
I've been tracking my weight weekly and all calories (even with crude estimates in some cases) for a year and a half, and have been experimenting with exactly this: I made a scatter plot and linear regression of average calories per day on the X axis, and weight change for that week on the Y axis.

Week to week weight has extra fluctuations that make it difficult to tell what's going on, but after around 6 months of data it stabilizes, and has been consistent for any 6-month period over the last year and a half: I burn around 2200 - 2300 calories per day on average (way higher than the online estimator tools think I burn, 1600 - 1700).

Knowing this I've also been reliably able to control my weight up or down at the rate I want as long as I'm looking at it for over a month span - because as above, week to week there's too much fluctuation (fullness of stomach and bowels mostly).

The congestion tax works by keeping poor people off the roads of Manhatten. Who else is deterred by it?

$15 is nothing to wealthier people; their only objection will be spending the time processing the payment. But if you are making minimum wage, it's a calculation. Fees are regressive taxes.

If you are poor, you are effectively not welcome south of 60th street; that's for the rich people. If the city wants to raise revenue, how about a tax where the wealthy make an equal sacrifice. If they want to reduce congestion, how about having global businesses like Uber bid on road capacity.

Don't forget the fundamentals that made the US and NY great: All are created equal, the American dream, the land of opportunity, democratic equality, equality under the law. Manhatten is (and NYC more generally is) in many ways more than this being turned into an island for the wealthy.

I'm not sure how they usually do things in the ECS space, but I think the natural thing to do for the spell megafunction is to split it up into smaller systems. The original system just slaps a spell component onto the entity that affects it and after that there are the spell systems that check for the tagged entities. Now the queries in the megafunction are greatly simplified. Also the spell queries are now more tightly defined

It's a nice theory but I don't think it holds up. X64 executes from a micro op cache and there's no particular reason to expect the ops in that to be variable length encoded. Thus it only goes to the i-cache when that misses, at which point you've spent long enough digging around in the cache that the extra decoding probably doesn't matter.

It's of like saying x64 is limited by only having 16 registers - there's only names for 16ish in the ISA, but there's loads more registers in the machine as part of hiding latency.
Before getting into all the legal technicalities: You are human, ChatGPT is not. That gives you rights, and ChatGPT none.
Some countries have (or had) laws or articles in their constitution that mandate that time is kept according to earth's orbit and rotation. We want everyone to use the same time, so UTC is the compromise to use atomic time but to regularly adjust it by whole seconds to keep it within one second of astronomical time.

I'd prefer to use TAI (international atomic time), but if that meant that some places use IAT and some use UT2, requiring us to keep track of time offsets of a couple thousand milliseconds that change daily, that would be much worse. UTC is a fine compromise

It's $15 a day: $300 if you commute 20 days a month. That's not a small price change.

I find that tolls are a good idea, but suspect that we'd have significant complaints situation if the MTA decided to raise the prices of the 30 day pass by, say $300 a month in one sitting. People made decisions based on existing prices, and a change this big. Going around the price changes by moving or parking further out and then paying for a train is a significant lifestyle change. People get really mad when rent goes up by this much too. So all in all, we don't need any car dependence exceptionalism to expect a lot of push back.

> Insurers are helping make the problem worse by underwriting the very projects that warm the Earth even as they bear the costs of mounting climate disasters and pass them on to customers.

This the same fallacy people fall for when they say things like "100 companies responsible for 70% of emissions" [1]. It doesn't make any sense. Those companies aren't emitting CO2 in isolation. They're selling products that billions of people are creating demand for, either directly or indirectly.

It's the customers (i.e. "us") who are responsible for those emissions. And the cost is being passed on to those customers. The insurance system is working just fine.

This project is a rewrite of a Bash script that I started to teach myself a little bit of x86 assembly. I still don't know much, but I did learn that ELF executables can be surprisingly small and simple for a very basic program. A 64-byte file header and a single 56-byte program header are the only "overhead" that is really mandatory (and it's even possible to make those overlap a little).

But it's difficult to stop the linker from adding extra stuff, which is why I eventually specified the headers (and three addresses) by hand in the assembly file and stopped using a linker.

Everyone failed in Afghanistan.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but even Alexander himself failed in Afghanistan. The Persians tried for centuries, and always failed. The Caliphate was the most successful, but only because they never wanted any kind of real change. The place is just unique.

The thought that we were gonna go in there and change things was probably ill considered at the outset. When you objectively consider the historical record of the people of Afghanistan. Force was extremely likely to not work. I believe there doesn't really exist anyone out there with a good idea on anything that could have worked. In the end, we left. Just as everyone before us did. And I'd be willing to go on record now and say that everyone who goes into Afghanistan after us will leave Afghanistan in the end as well.

It's never as simple as, "more bombs", "more money", "more education", etc etc. Afghanistan is a unique problem, that is uniquely resistant to all of the common solutions.
Um, do you even have an idea yet or just "AI SaaS"?

Because if you don't I have no clue what you are doing. No technical experience, no technical cofounder, sure that you can throw together a no-code PoC to get investors (ok, this part might work for all I know, investors throw money at stupid things all the time), and you want to do it on $500.

Either you have, what you think is, an amazing idea or an incredibly inflated idea of what super powers a MBA gives you, maybe a little of both.

I'm sorry to be harsh but the levels of arrogance/entitlement in this post are off the chart. Also I'll tell you this: an idea is worthless on its own. You have to be able to follow through and that's measured in years not weekends and I find it hard to believe you could do it without any real tech. Then again 90% of the AI stuff posted here is just a thin wrapper around OpenAI's GPT-4 and at least some of those are getting funding so maybe I'm the wrong one.

Implementing PCIe in the fabric without using the hard IP would be foolish, and definitely not the kind of thing I'd enjoy spending my time on! The design makes extensive use of the DSP48E2 and various BRAM/URAM blocks available in the fabric. I don't have exact numbers off the top of my head, but roughly it's ~500 DSP units (primarily for multiplication), ~70k LUTs, ~135k FFs, and ~90 BRAMs. Porting it to a different device would be a pretty significant undertaking, but would not be impossible. Many of the DSP resources are inferred, but there is a lot of timing stuff that depends on the DSP48E2's behavior - multiple register stages following the multiplies, the inputs are sized appropriately for those specific DSP capabilities, etc.

User: does the maps.google.com site use one of the big javascript frameworks?

Claude Opus: Yes, the Google Maps website (maps.google.com) uses a JavaScript framework developed by Google called Angular.

Angular is a popular open-source web application framework maintained by Google. It allows developers to build complex, single-page applications with features like two-way data binding, dependency injection, and a powerful template syntax.

Google Maps relies heavily on JavaScript and Angular to provide its interactive mapping features, real-time updates, and smooth user experience. Angular enables Google Maps to efficiently render map tiles, handle user interactions, and dynamically update the map content without refreshing the entire page.

It's worth noting that Google Maps also utilizes various other technologies and libraries alongside Angular, such as HTML, CSS, and the Google Maps JavaScript API, to create the full functionality of the mapping platform.

I suspect this summary is fundamentally mistaken. I'm sure at least one poor person will have to pay this tax, but my understanding is that the revenue from it will be used to improve systems used by the general public and the wealthy are overrepresented in the expected tax base. By definition, that's the opposite of a tax on "the poor."
