There are two parts to a project. Your application and the marketing project for the app/site. It sounds like you have the application part done (or your first prototype) and put everything into it. Now the hard part is you need to tell people and try to connect on some level. Doing the second part involves a different skillset, time, effort. If you don't have it in you, go do something else. While you do that your brain will try to figure out the connect problem.
The problem of classification is one not useful by defect. In stead it should go by effect, on the individual and on society, as it cycles through the situations encountered by a old, tribal, militaristic clan based society. The adaptations we define as ails today were useful back then in the role of * and gave the individual a place as *.

It helps to understand what it was of yore.

I tried to find a good way to illustrate packets in a simple protocol and went for the bytefield package for latex (pdf manual https://texdoc.org/serve/bytefield.pdf/0 ). It is a bit heavy, as if requiring latex wasn't heavy enough, so at first I dismissed it and thought there would be something simpler. But I couldn't find anything else that I liked so I stuck with it and think it was worthwhile in the end, the output looks great and is very clear.

So this is an argument for the Imperial system. It's never stated in the post, but if you don't like the Metric system then what are you arguing for? There's only the Imperial system left. Here is why the Imperial system is bad:

- It's not consistently base 2 (or base 12), it's more like base random.

- Imperial calculations still use base 10 numbers for representation! This is the worst of both worlds. You can argue that base 10 is inefficient but at least the Metric system aligns perfectly with it, as compared to the Imperial system which uses base random and base 10 numbers which cannot perfectly model many Imperial system values.

> Metric’s entire foundation is a bad base.

You're stuck with base 10 numbers. Don't blame the base, pick a better system.

> so I could run the generator for fewer hours during an outage: only running the generator when my demand is high or the battery needs to charge would reduce the time spent at low load where efficiency is poor.

There is little point worrying about marginal efficiency when power is out because saving a few dollars over a few hours is not worth optimising for. - High fixed costs (batteries & inverter) would dominate small operating costs (propane, wear&tear).

Creating a Public Repository for Joining Private Data [pdf]
This is one of the most practical pieces of work in the differential privacy space since the original definition of DP. To have impact with data, it needs to be shared widely and easily combined (joined) with other data. For sensitive datasets, this has been hard. The setting either required trust or required interactivity with the publisher, limiting its spread. With this technique, one can publish data that can be distributed arbitrarily wide and far into the future without sacrificing privacy. The original publishers need not be in the picture. It also makes limited assumptions about the types of queries. I predict this will unlock a completely new set of products and applications for analyzing differential private data and create a new economy for data sharing.

I know this from a few startups and it really is not that bad. You really triage what should wake you up and what's ok until morning. It works well as long as the technical founder is ok playing a goalie and essentially being always on call (even though others catch a lot of alarms).

It stops working when the company grows and no one understands the whole system and you need on-calls from several teams. Then the company does some formal on call rotation and it's fine again. It hurts during the transition only.

> Use managed, serverless (defined as ‘usage-based pricing with little to no capacity planning required’) primitives wherever possible, even at the cost of functionality.

Erk. I get where they're coming from, but it feels like they're choosing lower AWS costs, but in doing so, incurring higher dev costs.

But maybe, that's a trade-off that makes sense for them. Would like to have more background on this balancing act - e.g., what "functionality" means to them.

The other concern I'd have is the risk of unanticipated spend, serverless techs can scale up really well, and your costs can also scale up hand-in-hand.

I guess it depends on how bursty their product is.
No, good shout! спс)
TEC's are pretty cheap and can be had for around $2 for a 100 watts of cooling power unit (plenty for a typical refrigerator).

The thing that stops their widespread use is their very low efficiency. You need big noisy fans to get rid of all the waste heat from the hot side, and that drives up weight, price, size, etc. In nearly every application, gas based refrigeration systems win out overall.
Yes the readsets aren't based on lists of objects but rather the data ranges that a query touches, i.e., they don't suffer from phantom read anomalies.

If you were to attempt to fetch all items from an empty shopping cart, that query will automatically be invalidated if any item is added to the cart, even though there were no documents returned from the original query. Query intersection always works.

The aggregate example isn't a great one in Convex since it doesn't currently support built-in aggregates - a full-table aggregate involves a table scan and therefore the readset would be the entire index. We may add built-in aggregates that are incrementally computed if there's enough demand.
Do you have a study showing this? Also what’s your definition of “success”? I will argue that less attractive people have to work harder, gain more skills, and develop a personality. All attributes that makes you more likely to succeed in whatever you want to achieve.

Right. This is what has confused me. I had presumed that the options were a much more valuable part of your pay package (like tens of thousands to exercise early).

Cash Cars Rental: I just learned something pretty cool about car rentals! Usually, when you think about renting a car, you associate it with the necessity of having a credit card.

My money is on them getting neither lower AWS costs nor lower dev costs. They're just paying out both ends because "cloud" is a thought-terminating cliché at this point.
Because of course there were also other factors.

Productivity generally remained relatively low (most land was still farmed by the subjugated native populations), trade and commerce extremely restricted by the policies of the Spanish government and most of the surplus was shipped back to Europe.

I have a machine, took a few weeks to dial in the settings right for me. Tried a few different masks & machines from a sleep study clinic. In a few years I have gone less than 7 nights without using it.

Using the machine has been life changing for me.

I used to struggle to get up before 10am. Now I wake up naturally around 6:30am-7am most mornings.

Learning new things isn't a mountain to climb to retain just a bit of information. I feel like if I had done a sleep study 10 years earlier I would be a much better technologist than I am now.

I would recommend you suggest to your wife that she tries a few different mask styles.
I initially found I wasn't fitting the mask well or had a slightly wrong size and I would get some leaking that would keep me awake at night.

What a great comparison.
You usually get some extra money for the duty. And if you get woken up, the hours you spend are counted towards your normal working hours - so you aren't expected to show up in the morning after putting out a fire. Or you get some more bonus (like 2x hourly pay for the night work). That's about the balance when people are ok doing it.

But it depends on stability of your service. If it is messed up and people are woken up often, then you won't find many volunteers if they have other choice.
From the article itself it is clear that it was not a pure base 60 system. It was basically a base 10 system where the symbol changed at 10 and not 60. A pure base would be like Hexadecimal where we use 16 symbols and 16 is equivalent to 10.
I guess most of the human civilisation ended up using base 10 numbers because we have 10 finger. If we had 8 fingers, we would probably be using base 8. 64 would be our 100.
Screen sharing works across the planet nowadays
Let's be precise. When we say "convert heat to power", what we mean is actually "if we have some energy flowing from a heat source to a heat sink, we can extract a percentage of that energy as useful work, like turning a steam turbine to produce electricity".

Carnot proved in 1824 that the maximum theoretical efficiency is purely a function of the hot and cold temperature (in Kelvin):

Eff = (T_hot - T_cold)/T_hot

So for instance a thermoelectric generator operating between 25 °C and 5 °C has a maximum efficiency of

Eff = (298 - 278) / 298 = 6.7%
Thanks for the explanations!

Funnily enough we did end up saying "implement a full browser stack" :/
I've been using one of these for the last two years and definitely feel more rested on the nights I wear it. Never tried a CPAP so I can't speak to the comparative effectiveness. The brand I've been using is called Silent Nite.

You could still overload the service with a sufficiently large attack in either volume of connection requests or number of unique IP addresses.

Sure, its just something else when you try to push a point or stir a controversy by constantly repeating "why they don't make things like that anymore" without actually looking into why they stopped and why they don't anymore.

If we want journalists to be able to do their jobs, we are going to have to pay them. And when I talk about “journalism” I’m not talking about reporting on sports scores. I’m talking about identifying a problem and asking tough questions to people who don’t want to answer them. Keeping the public informed.

Democracy is a pesky thing. It works when people know what’s actually going on so they can make informed decisions. If we want to live in a democracy we need journalists.

And it’s not just a matter of, maybe the paper will make it up next year. Once a newspaper closes up, it’s gone. That town no longer has a newspaper. Or maybe it gets bought by some newspaper conglomerate.

Where can i submit videos?
This is super interesting. I did a sleep test a while back and they were on the fence with recommending a CPAP machine. My experience isn't like what is described by most people with sleep apnoea. I don't wake up tired or groggy. I do snore from time to time.

The doctor suggested, cutting out alcohol, and sleeping on my side rather than back. I've paired that with a smart watch to keep a track of my O2 stats and feel fine. I'm hoping to avoid all machines as long as possible.
Not necessarily, if many people from the previous generations are cashing in on investment in that debt.
That assumes that everyone wants to prevent such uses. Generally speaking with my code I don't.
Because then they wouldn‘t be open source anymore.
The consequences of untreated sleep apnoea are very serious. I would urge you both to revisit this issue.
It is the first time I hear about the Value matrix being low rank, so for me this was the confusing part. Codebases I have seen also have value + output matrixes so it is clearer that Q,K,V are similar sizes and there's a separate projection matrix that adapts to the dimensions of the next network layer.

Main difference is an Apple watch with Siri is tied to your phone and has access to all the associated apps/features. I can use my Apple Watch to start a timer, send a message, add a reminder to my calendar, play a new music track in a non-Apple music app, etc etc. Pretty much all major iPhone apps support some form of watch integrations.

The whole problem with this device is it has all this hardware technology but no software/apps to back it up. No connection to your phone apps, no connections to your existing subscription services or anything other than the (very) limited built-in features.

This same hardware tied to a phone and its apps would be a whole different thing… and a whole lot more useful.
Not really. If I don't agree to on-call, I do it on best-effort basis. That is: "Oh, I'm camping with kids without a computer. I'll try to help you as much as I can. Did you try Z after X and Y didn't work? Ok, try it and call me back how it went, I'll try to Google something in the meantime." If that would happen too often (more than 1-2x a year), I would try to improve the process or consider switching my job. And my phone is silent during the night.

I wouldn't call this a permanent on-call, just being responsive.

The closer rendering comes closer to underlying physical principles, the more game engines will become world simulation engines. Various engine parts commonly seen today will converge towards a common point, where, for example, we'll observe less distinction between physics and rendering layers. I wonder if this trend can be traced to some degree even today. Several orders of compute growth later, we'll look upon current abstractions in the same manner as on the 30 years old state of the art, shaped by technical limitations of the yesteryear, obvious in hindsight. Love the perspective this puts the things into.
What a POS article. Look at this writing:

"If the vision for the creation of the web included a day one feature that could restrict access to content, people working on their own specialist topics, catering to their own niche audiences, would’ve happily pressed the button."

And the assertion itself is unsupported nonsense:

"A hundred or a thousand thriving communities, small utopias in their own right, with no connection to each other, would’ve been seen as a feature, not the failure of the internet we otherwise see today."

Why even bother.
The page does say it, I'll agree with that. But I think that the classification as of the disorder basically is a method of classifying people who generally have real life experience with life going wrong, they have reason for behavior which doesn't make it a disorder but instead self preservation.

They are classifying the symptom, not the cause. "Treating" it is fixing their environment and not the person. Too bad drugging the individual is the cheapest solution to create compliant individuals who won't take action.
