Functionally on most devices losing network coverage renders GPS useless. I keep telling people to download OsmAnd if they want to be able to view maps on a plane or get home from their hike outside cell range. Google maps will try to cache maps to some degree nowadays but it tends to be very flakey and it seems to be very easy to accidentally get it to drop its cache when you're outside cell coverage.

There's a couple things we need to agree on to get there.

1) A lot of this industry is based on human trafficking. I've linked elsewhere to a good podcast that explains this and others have chimed in with other references.

2) By wasting the scammer's time, you are putting them at risk of abuse because of #1.

So if you can agree that "increasing the risk of human physical violence to live out some vigilante sense of justice" is worse than "not," it leads to worse outcomes for disproportionately little net gain.

Edit: (sorry, I was actually editing this as you were already posting. I had already answered this in multiple other comments, so it was getting tiresome)

The UN is already working on diplomatic pressure in countries like Cambodia that seem to specialize in this sort of thing. Countries like China (where there are victims on both sides of the problem) have created movies [1], in part, to educate the populace. I'm not claiming there are any silver bullets, but I think the types of actions in the article are more about feeling like you're doing good than actually doing good. And it hits home because most of us have similar thoughts. It's a bit masturbatory in that regard, and I want to push back a bit on the idea that it's actually solving much of anything despite what our baser instincts are telling us.

The article focuses on one event, the "BOAT" -- an exceptionally bright supernova, but one which doesn't seem to have been very productive.

> "Using the telescope’s Near Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec), the team looked at the elements typically seen in supernovae. The signal wasn’t particularly bright, indicating that the supernova that yielded the brightest gamma ray burst ever seen wasn’t superlative itself."

The implicit, unanswered question: Is there evidence of gold/platinum/osmium/etc. formation following other observed supernovae?

And another that's left very vague: If we can rule supernovas out, what are the plausible physical mechanisms that might be behind their relative abundance?

Also note: The stars of the early universe were very large, very bright monsters. [1] It's plausible that early universe supernovas are somehow qualitatively different from contemporary supernovas.

I'm sure you've considered how the BIPA law in Illinois applies since it's one of (if not the) strongest biometrics privacy laws in the U.S. Could you share some detail on how you store and process unknown voices before consent?

>after a jury in February convicted him of Murder and Vehicular Manslaughter.

In other words, manslaughter not murder. You're using the two terms interchangeably, and they're simply not such, not in any legal discussion. I also like how you get your citations all nice and pretty, got good grades for that in school, I'm guessing... but can't get the substance of your argument right (and couldn't read mine with comprehension, apparently).

Do you understand that "murder" and "manslaughter" are two different classes of crimes, and that the latter, manslaughter is pretty much always the lesser class of crime? Murder generally requires things like intent to kill, premeditation, even "depraved indifference" or callousness. No drunk driver is ever charged with murder, and if they were, it's doubtful that a judge wouldn't pimpsmack it back out of court immediately. I don't know how this can be explained more simply. Jailhouse crooks often get this, and most of them are borderline retarded.

I have a similar problem where the rollover region is not at the actual position of the rendered element but much higher. So you where you have to hover over is above the actual element. Really annoying. Happens a lot on Twitter or Youtube website but also at other places.

It can be shrinked more, but that needs help.
And I must confess, I rather spend my time on bug fixes than space optimizations.

Without context this map seems to be ridiculously wrong, until you learn that it was created in 1931 by an American, and as a product of that time includes all possible Eurocentric biases. For example, on that map thousands of years of American history are missing. Inka? Aztecs? Mali in Africa? Khmer empire in South-East Asia? Majapahit?

It would be interesting to see more modern visualization that has more focus on cultural and technological achievements rather than on wars and power games.

Also, covid was a huge missed opportunity for creating standards for distributing health info and instructions via internet in a sensible fashion to prevent the ERs and hospitals from being so overwhelmed and thereby actively spreading the infection.

Also a missed opportunity for developing a healthier set of social expectations and best practices for how to have reasonable and productive discussions of health topics in the face of uncertainty and possible death. We really seem to have screwed that pooch globally, or at least in English-speaking spaces.

I'm all for increasing education on this, and I do think that would have some value, though I'm not 100% sure what this would look like. My mother-in-law's husband has fallen for these gift card scams multiple times, losing thousands of dollars, even after I've tried showing him some obvious and less-obvious warning signs [1]. Some people are just really gullible, for whatever reason, and I'm not 100% sure that education will actually help them.

I actually don't think we disagree very much about the actual solution to the problem. This is definitely bigger than a few Youtubers making scambaiting videos. It's going to be a brave new world with AI voices getting better and better, and I think law enforcement agencies are going to be pretty proactive.

[1] e.g. the IRS will never ask for payments in gift cards or cryptocurrency, neither will the police, don't just let anyone connect to your computer with Teamviewer or Anydesk, if you're going to be arrested they probably aren't going to do it over the phone, etc.

I sometimes listen to the All in podcast. The 4 VCs recently blasted Apple saying they don't know why there are so many engineers. And they don't know why an iPhone is so expensive. They last longer now and don't need to upgrade as often. To their eyes an iPhone has become boring.

My reply is Apple supports close to 2 billion devices. They have to work and never crash. They also need to get upgraded for security patches and new features. The fact they find them "boring" is a good thing. Means iPhones have become an intrisic part of their lives.

This article describes one of the many things Apple has to do to make them "boring". Indeed a feat of engineering.

Now, when they replicate that success with Siri, that will be a game changer. Hopefully advances in LLMs will bring that day forward.

The CT's weirdness isn't just the silly exterior. I suspect they don't want to sell a lot of them because each one they sell is a potential liability.

These new cars are 100% drive by wire; they're all in on their dry cell battery tech, it's 100% 48v for the "normal" electronics like power steering and HVAC and instrument cluster, etc.

They want to sell the CT to the weirdos who're willing to put up with whatever the heck the truck dishes out. They want paying beta testers to put miles on these things, get them more tested than they can with an internal testing program.

Only once the tech is more proven will it be "safe" to mass produce a "normal" car with all the same tech. The goal is to catch all the "nissan leaf lizard chemistry" or "bolt self immolation" bugs on the people willing to buy a CT.
Yeah, I am pretty sure that it is but curiously I am not a very anxious person in other aspects of my life. But I am still a horrible procrastinator who loves to procrastinate anything which gives me the slightest bit if anxiety or indecision about the right solution.

You didn't actually answer the question. I'll agree with both points (though I take a bit of issue with the second with some of the wording), but you didn't suggest any short term solutions.

ETA:

I want to clarify, these people will have violence inflicted on them if they're not collecting money. If Kitboga is wasting their time, they're not collecting money. If they just get a bad shuffle and don't get anyone gullible for a few days, they're also not collecting money. You seem to be purposefully ignoring this.
I wonder why they don't do checksums on data. Too complex? Is bitrot not a common problem on modern SSDs? It's also not clear what should a user do after they've received a notification that a scrub found a mismatch. It's not like you can replace the soldered on SSD... It would be still great for external ones though.

I see no issue in getting inspiration from other programs.

All projects do that, and I think that benefits the users.

Code has semantic highlighting via LSP, that is something KDevelop had before Code or Atom existed.

Same for the 'go to everywhere' that most likely was first in Sublime.

Windows also had FAT16 -> FAT32 and FAT32 -> NTFS converters. In the 90s. But nobody produced blog posts praising them for them, this was just a Windows feature.

Looking to get early feedback.
By early, I mean that polish & marketing are non-existent.
That being said, one can host on it, and it's operating a few domains including its own.
So I figure opinions and suggestions would already be welcome.
Well this is what the article covers, Grid Forming Inverters, I.e. inverters that have the ability to behave like they’ve got inertia, and where the feedback loop between frequency and power output is tight enough they will naturally migrate to a stable grid frequency, rather than just bouncing around all over the place like normal Grid Following Inverts do if there isn’t enough spinning inertia in the system.

So even in world where all power sources are coupled to the grid via inverters, it’s still possible to use the grid frequency as communication channel.

Side channels that exist physically outside the grid will never be reliable and ubiquitous enough to replace grid frequency, for grid stability you need a feedback loop measured in nanoseconds to avoid scary oscillations in load and supply, that feedback loop needs to be faster than a microcontroller can manage, hence the reason why Grid Forming Inverters are more complex than normal Grid Following Inverters. After all the system you’re trying to monitor and keep stable naturally communicates at the speed of light, so it really isn’t possible to use digital systems to keep it stable. You need some sort of analog inertia (whether that’s spinning rotors, or clever analogue electronics doesn’t really matter) to handle the high frequency changes, and damp them enough for digital electronics to deal with the longer term drift.

Also it’s not just suppliers that coordinate via frequency, it’s also loads. Anyone out there running a large semi-continuous, but interruptible loads (e.g. water pumps, large arc furnaces, heating systems, bulk EV charging etc) can usually get a discount on their energy prices, in exchange for voluntarily disconnecting their load if the grid frequency drops too far, allowing the grid to shed the least sensitive loads first, before it’s starts forcefully disconnecting more sensitive loads.

> Capacitors do the same for DC. They are also more efficient and reliable.

I don’t know who told you that, but capacitors aren’t even vaguely close to reliable compared to a spinning turbine. Not once you consider how many capacitors you would need to store an equivalent amount of energy as a spinning turbine.

Super capacitors top out at about 4 Wh/kg, and can get up to 10 Wh/kg if you’re using hybrid capacitors (which basically a mix of a battery and capacitor). A flywheel energy storage systems are around 100Wh/kg. So at least one order of magnitude more energy per kg. So you need a lot of capacitors to replace the energy storage of a turbine. Once you’ve got that many very expensive capacitors linked up with the needed control electronics, I doubt it’s anywhere near as reliable (or cost effective) as a big spinning chunk of steel.
Only when that 2-stage stack is properly validated.

TBH, Superheavy+Starship, right now, is probably cheaper than the fully expendable SLS.

Also, if all the materials will be cannibalized in orbit (or never land on Earth again, like the Lunar Starship), it makes no sense to send the mass in a reusable vehicle.

Indicating that the Pentagon is well aware of monitoring of pizza shops as a way to infer the level of their activity. I therefore posit that this going viral is a hidden form of explicit communication, a signal they are intentionally sending, akin to the Iranians raising a black flag several months ago.

It costs nothing for a government to vote for a resolution in the UN.

Leveling Up Clojure Data Wrangling: Unveiling Tablecloth Columns

What do you hate about ProPublica? I thought they did a great job with the available data for their series on chemical releases causing cancer in certain industrial areas[0]. The data available to them is not enough: it's mostly voluntary written release reports combined with weather models to predict gas diffusion patterns, rather than real physical measurements in neighborhoods -- we don't have any gas monitoring so they did as much as anyone could instead.

That's again a frivolous use of the words 'terrorist' and 'genocide'.
I agree. I think it’s similar to the power grid. Razor sharp margins that keeps falling down and sustainment is being provided by ever decreasing number of professionals or being handed down to folks that don’t know what they are doing. Queue the forest fires in California.

The cost is laying down a fiber network and sustaining it is there and it’s going nowhere. Somebody needs to pay for it. Current approach is to bundle various services under a service umbrella and try to stay profitable. I don’t know what will happen when the streaming boom cools down. It might cause some “network providers” to just bankrupt.

This is why 12-inch rulers commonly have the inches divided into 10 inches.

cf. with a 10-cm ruler, each cm divided into 10 mm. You've got a line for 1/2, 1/4, 1/5, 1/10, and 1/25, and 1/100th. That's it.
