3D objects cast shadows, but not all 2D objects are shadows. A flat piece of paper is (an approximation of) a 2D object, but it's not a shadow of anything 3D.

Shadows behave really differently to real objects. They disappear into nothing, they can move faster than light, they can fully overlap each other and then separate again.

Yep, focusing on automation and reliability for this being-deprecated thing seems useful. The goal is to increase the likelihood that it will keep running until people actually stop using it, without anybody needing to work on it. That's useful!

You were expecting better? Every European who comes to the US complains about the food. Edit: Now that I think about it, so do a lot of the Indians.
That’s the only thing that bothers you? :) How about we outlaw the price discrimination described in the parent comment? I think everything else just pushed the conversation deeper in the weeds and does us all a disservice.

I had a thought recently along these lines. What if my phone breaks? I may not get a new one for a week or two. But work expects me to enter 2FA codes generated from my phone.

Very interesting! Well broken down and explained!
My university tried to do this with all android devices connecting to their exchange too a few years back. Hard no from me. I’m not letting some random person in IT wipe my phone remotely because they mixed me up with someone, or because I’m getting fired/expelled.

That's a really difficult question, since a cancelled/abandoned project made any usefulness zero.

I guess if you learn something at least it wasn't entirely useless, but then how do you exact;y measure uselessness?

technically, it's demand that is meant here by what's elastic (or not). there's also a price elasticity of supply (eg, if tuition goes too low, some colleges will close).

the way the GP used the term was understandable to me, and how I'm used to seeing it used. it's basically shorthand for 'people's [demand for college degrees] became price-inelastic'. if you want to use it differently in your communication, it's up to you. just remember that people might understand something other than what you meant.
Is there something you’re struggling with? Seems like you’re doing just fine.
For the sake of argument let's say college triples your income potential. To make the math easy, let's say instead of earning $1M over your life you'll now earn $3M.

We shouldn't look at a school charging $400k and say "well you'll make more than that so it's a good deal." We should look at what you're actually getting. A cinder block dorm, mass-produced assembly line food, a professor making $80k a year telling you to write a paper on a book that's in the public domain. None of that is worth $400k.
Personally, that's still an unacceptable approach. There is no way I'm going to allow any employer to have any degree of access to my phone. If my employer needs me to use a phone for work purposes, my employer needs to provide a work phone to me.
Thanks a lot.

I never tried to benchmark the server, but the limiting factor will certainly be the encode speed of the machine. If your clients all needs transcoding of different h265 8K movies at the same time, you would need vastly different GPU/CPU power than for the same amount of users with direct play.

The only answer I can think of is strong and swift government regulation, and there's no appetite for that, so...I dunno man.
Maybe it didn't work because they were using video as opposed to something like RFID tags?
Thanks! I will look into that. I knew it was Open Source and that it would be possible to create my own backend, I was just wondering if it had been actually been done/documented. This link answers my question, and PartyKit will go on my radar for future evaluation and possible use! :)
> We could do with fewer "marketing, law, finance, etc" jobs

We can say this about almost any job category. For those perceived as useless, good riddance. For those seen as essential, they’re essential—wouldn’t it be nice if doctors could spend as much time as they wanted with every patient because a machine was doing the boring bits?
I use LaTeX to write papers, so I am comfortable enough with it, but I tried beamer several times, and it just doesn't fit my personal flow of how I write presentations/lectures. I want to manually move things around, add figures. I don't won't to do all the LaTeX voodoo for that. Also, although I know know how to add movies to beamer, it's a PITA, I'd like to just be able to insert them.
Agree, I am a bit tired of this bread and cheese only taste good in Europe. It’s like they just went into a store and got Wonder bread and some Kraft singles. My local H-E-B has a bread aisle as long as a football field and a whole corner bakery dedicated to making some fresh (excellent tortillas). Then I could go to Central Market and buy any cheese from all over the world.

I already have a TOTP app on my phone for all my other security (I have like 15 MFA codes), so adding an extra code isnt really a problem for me. P
lus I'd much rather have just an extra code than carry a 2nd phone.
Plus for me, a 2nd phone means on call.
Plus Im just happy to have a good paying job. Me complaining about wanting an extra device doesnt benefit anyone.
But thats just my situation.
I'm not sure what exactly "how" is referring to, but by "tight handling" I mean having a smaller turning radius and losing less speed when turning.

How can this be proved? Any human author can copy/paste snippets out of ChatGPT.
I don't think this is the first study where 12 patients showed full remission. Further, you'd expect that to happen by chance at the scale that we run small trials like this.
I studied at a "startup university" that had just a few dozen professors. The total number of employees was still more than 100, and it wasn't all "bullshit administration".

There were assistants to the professors (1 assistant per 3 professors), the bigger research groups had post docs and lab technicians, there was an IT team (3 people), there was one person responsible for the sign up formalities of the students, a director of the institute, his assistant, one HR person, 3 or 4 people in the cafeteria, cleaning staff, head of microscopy lab, some scientific support technicians, people feeding rats and mice in the life science facility, a few people in the machine shop, a librarian (library was digital only; still took a dedicated person who made sure everyone got access to the literature they need), and those are just the people I met and remember.

That university only offered PhD programs, so there were only few lectures. If you wanted to do undergraduate courses as well, you'd need a lot more people than that.

Universities just need a lot of staff.

Sure. A TUI is basically a poor man's GUI.

I agree. Wouldn't be hard. I think you may as well use Handbrake though.

Some other good things in the US:

* Real slow-cooked barbecue is excellent

* Salmon from the Pacific Northwest is great and the fresh stuff is seasonal.

* Beer and wine have improved a lot and are quite good in some places. TBH I prefer beer here in Oregon to the places I lived in Europe, Austria and Italy.

I think churning is just a hobby for bored divorced guys and used as a proxy for developing any real (non-financialized) interests. Normal cash back for most cards is good enough for most people, and you aren't going to get big point kickbacks unless you already have a lot of money to spend.
Sometimes, I wonder how many of the LOC's that I have written are executed every day.

I honestly don't know.
One thing I have noticed in these conversations is some who say government-backed loans are the root cause of price increases. Even if this is technically correct, it ignores how we got here, which is also why going back on that is non-negotiable.

And from the other side, public college was never free in the US, but it didn’t have to be free to be affordable. We don’t have to make it free to solve the problem. In 1970 tuition at University of California schools was about $1000 in today’s dollars. It’s not nothing, but it also means you’re not making a huge financial mistake by going to college and not getting a degree.

Without student loans, a lot of families simply wouldn’t be able to afford to send kids to college. Meanwhile, as government (especially state governments) cut funding to schools, sticker price has skyrocketed even at public schools.

So really the only solution is more public funding for public universities. This will force prices down and force private schools to compete. Vanderbilt wouldn’t list their tuition at 100k if in state was $1000.
Just the other day I was setting up Jellyfin and tailscale on an n100.

It worked fine locally but sharing via tailscale with a family member across the world somehow broke things. It took about a minute for the stream to start despite a fast enough upload speed. Might be ping related?

I will give this a try
I’m curious how finance teams actually work around these--surely many of them actually do use Stripe effectively?
Are unnecessary syllables used for error correction? Or are they mostly just noise?

> Sure but there's like 5000 total tanks,

And 7000 IFVs, and 15,000 APCs, and 25,000 Mine Protected Vehicles, and also a bunch of fixed and rotary winged piloted and unpiloted aircraft carrying PGMs, all of which can go through specifically chosen doors, and, as with the tanks, all of which can send something through many specifically chosen doors (or windows, walls, whatever) in a fairly short period of time.

Not good for arresting people, bringing them to trial, and providing due process, but that's not the only means of raising the expected cost of non-compliance with the law so as to coerce compliance.
Yeah I agree with it being an exaggeration. They are certainly riding the admittedly dated perception that realtime is so hard it's only available to the Googles and Figmas. But there's now some amazing open source solutions available like Y.js and ElectricSQL[1]. The barrier has certainly come down.

If I am required to use my personal phone for work related 2FA and SMS(lots of services require a mobile phone number just to create an account), then I will start using work resources for my own personal benefit. Those GPUs are idle too much anyhow....
This may have been a better option in the early 90's when GUI screen readers were not as good. I did z/OS Assembly programming for several years using ISPF as a text editor and submitting jobs to compile my code. I"ll gladly take an IDE with features from 1995 like renaming variables, moving to the next error, and jumping to a function definition.
I would hypothesize that Ithkuil would be spoken fairly slowly similar to Cantonese and so yield a similar bit rate in line with the overall results for natural languages.

That said, nobody speaks Ithkuil fluently enough to test this so maybe I'll be proven wrong some day!

Frankly, the last two released books in the series also experienced a notable drop off in quality, after (supposedly, as I understand it) GRRM stopped enlisting the services of his editor.

The story is still great and I did still enjoy the books. But it’s surprising how much a change in editorial oversight had for both the Star Wars franchise and the ASOIAF series of books.
It's a checkpoint inhibitor. Those have been used for ~ every cancer type for over a decade. Keytruda has been a top-selling drug for years.

It looks like this trial was neoadjuvant (before treatment/ alternative to chemo and surgery), but that's not new either.

immunotherapy typically has much lower response rates though, so maybe it's the mismatch repair selection strategy that's novel

I wasn’t entirely serious. The reason why food tastes worse has as much to do with nostalgia as with objective factors. Yes, one could buy the most expensive sourdough bread in New York, but can it ever rival the memory of that one bakery in the Old World?

Truly local products don’t suffer this unfair comparison. One never drank a Swedish bourbon or ate clam chowder in Paris.

Maybe this is why Europeans are so attached to regional foods and their name protections. The diversity makes the experience more unique.
On the contrary, Kodak was well placed to do well by anticipating 'Moore's Law' as pertinent to sensor pixel density and sensitivity versus film. Film resolution was towards the end of intense development in pixel terms - not much further to go. They had pioneering patents and ongoing R&D would have enabled a long period of dominance during the transition and to this day!!
The board and scientists were asleep on a mountain of cash, and they sold their future for a few crumbs left for shareholders after bankruptcy.

A better question is WHO should define open AI. My answer to that would be: anyone but the people trying to establish a moat around AI.
I don't think your work is entirely useless here, under the assumption that the tool is deprecated but nobody has discontinued using it yet. Even deprecated tools need some maintenance from time to time, and in a big organization there's lots of legacy stuff that's kept around for a long time because replacing it is a lower priority than other roadmap items.

For a useless/meaningless project I did once, I wrote the read and announce portions of a userspace BLE stack against the BlueZ sockets in Linux because it was quicker and easier than figuring out how to use the DBus interface. It also turned out to be about 10 times faster latency wise. We needed it to do a proof of concept for something which later didn't pan out in the market. The code still lives in our repository and gets compiled into our products but nobody plugs the Bluetooth dongle that triggers its activation into any fielded product.
You can't rely on how these languages describe mapping.

Says who? You didn't back this claim up with anything.

Map doesn't simply iterate

No one has ever said it 'only' iterates, you hallucinated this claim. The whole point that I've made is that just because a language like haskell uses recursion for iteration, it doesn't mean iteration and recursion are the same thing or that things that iterate have anything to do with recursion.

“You might be reading this article thinking I’m the problem here.”

Yes. The author seems to Google absolutely nothing.

At no point did the author restart their phone. At no point did they look up how to clean lint out of a lightning port (with a toothpick). The author probably ignored the security update for weeks until corporate policy forced the update.

“How am I supposed to remember my security questions?” God forbid you try using a password manager or even just writing things down in a spiral notebook.

Every time they use their bank’s website it asks about trusting the computer. Have you tried googling this problem? Checking browser settings? Or even just trying another browser. Hell, try a different bank.

About the only thing I can credit the author for is recognizing that printers suck. But then again the author probably did zero research and bought something that wasn’t a Brother laser printer.

I understand that technology is complicated but at some point it’s more about an unwillingness or inability to learn new skills in your lifetime, which is pretty darn important.

Personal devices should _never_ be used for work.

That allows the line between self-owned work and employer-owned work to be thin/non-existent.

That can make it a lot easier for your employer to own your personal projects.

Don't do it. Don't use your corporate laptop for personal things, and don't use your personal equipment for corporate things.

If they want to use 2FA, they need to provide the 2FA device.
Sure, but I would expect the model to model them as average-looking from those locations.
The funniest thing with this idea is that in practice nothing of economic significance really happened in 1971: the supply of dollar used on the international trade market[1] being each year more important than the amount of gold stored in Fort Knox had been a hot topic during most of the sixties already (and French president de Gaulle tried to fight against that as early as 1965!).

What happened in 1971 (the suspension of the official conversion between gold and dollar) is just the political acknowledgement that the fiction of a gold/dollar parity was untenable any longer, but economically speaking, the divorce occurred during the previous decade (and then ironically the charts on that website show you how little correlation there is between this phenomenon and the later economic consequences).

What really happened in that period was in 1973: Yom Kippur War and as a consequence OPEC shutting down the oil supply, derailing the industrial economies and the Welfare State. A crisis that was thereafter co-opted by neo-liberal movement, bringing the world back to the pre-war situation regarding inequalities and economic growth.

[1] the domestic supply of dollar had been much higher than the gold reserves for pretty much the entirety of the existence of the US dollar, because that's pretty much how banking works since the end of the middle ages!
If you don't mind me asking, what kind of Mainframe stuff were you working on where writing assembly was the best way to go about it?
I am 100% with you.

Unfortunately, those that think like that usually go to the top because they will pull the trigger quicker than those that hold back and consider the consequences. They will always be 1st to the market. Then it just become a game of survivorship bias when thousands of folks try this, 99% get the blow back and fail but the ones that are lucky enough to ride that and weather the issues get rewarded immensely. AKA every billionaire.

This is why it seems like the social media that doesn't worry about their long term issue the most seem to do the best market wise. AT least for now. "Ethics be damned, get users by any means possible!". Facebook has been very reckless about this since they had their IPO, and it has worked until folks eventually conned on to it, but that time gap is huge and the damage unknowable. We are seeing a very extreme version of this at Twitter/X at the moment, with moderation being minimized, but it looks like that may a case were they went too far to fast and it is coming back to hurt them.
