It's a mixed bag; on the one side I agree that during that era, people were exposed to a somewhat broad range of musical styles if they watched TV or listened to radio - early to mid teen me would be exposed to the likes of Madonna, Rammstein, Eminem and Slipknot all in one day. But as someone else pointed out, it was all within the "bubble" of what was popular at that time, and the options to break out of there were limited because there were only so many music television and radio channels, and they would have a limited playlist of <1000 songs at a time, probably even less than that.

Nowadays if you have a streaming subscription or even Youtube, you have instant access to millions of songs and a multitude of curators creating playlists to fit any mood. Granted, Spotify and co will curate some popular playlists, and discovering curators outside of that bubble takes some more effort. But it's there.

We live in interesting times where on the one side we can be overwhelmed by choice, while at the same time delighted with new discoveries. Where budding artists can create from their proverbial basement and self-publish to a potential audience of billions.

> TikTok isn’t a news organization. It’s an entertainment platform.

I don't remember the First Amendment distinguishing between free speech that informs and that which entertains.

Most news on television is selected for its entertainment value. Does that give the government more power to regulate it?
MLP is a universal approximator, so there’s definitely a configuration that can match an attention mechanism. Whether or not it’d be feasible to train is another question.
A more charitable view is that a lot of research projects which seem like chmess to an outside observer become a lot more rational when properly contextualized. Often, the authors have justifications, ontological commitments or motivational factors for pursuing esoteric research that get lost in the writing process and only become apparent when familiar with the ambient conceptual framework.
I think the amount of space and weight a human and their required hardware need is pretty low on a jet. However the aerodynamics probably benefit a lot from not needing a high up bulbous cockpit with really good visibility
Palm OS never got the respect it deserved IMO. I had a Palm device in 2003 which had a camera, app support, and audio/video playback. The Palm Treo line existed in 2002 too, and that added cellular connectivity to the mix.
Apple gets a lot of credit for pulling the idea of a modern idea of a smartphone out of thin air, but if you look at the interface of even the earliest Palm devices almost a decade earlier, so much of it was right there.
It's an action though, "the time that XXX'ed them". Birthed fits there well, berthed does not. Had it said "the time they were berthed to" I would understand your point better.

Perhaps you're right and it was remembered or quoted wrong, and the word really is "berthed", but it wouldn't have been just the one word remembered incorrectly.
Something very wrong is going on with voyager, your terrestrial network or the universe!!! The spread of that ping is 0.4 hrs which I take to be 24 minutes! During that time a radio signal would travel 3 times the distance between the sun and the earth (AU). The only thing I can think of that could possibly be causing that delay is having to wait for a deep space network dish to aim properly.
Let's not be overly pessimistic. Even today's phones have a low-level debug backdoor. I imagine Voyager3 with today's tech would provide much more interesting data, but it's a matter of time, who wants to wait another 50 years

The 1-2 options is a big part of the problem. Government has been willfully asleep at the wheel allowing massive mergers to take place for decades. Then, oops, all of the few remaining companies are now too big to fail, so now what? This isn’t only a problem in the defense industry.
Does JSDoc even have a type checking system? The point of TS is that is actually does something with your declared types. JSDoc is nice... for docs being interpreted by a human. But unless those are used to create red squigglies then it's kind of arbitrary.

I've used JSDoc with TS's type syntax and typechecker in JS files. Which is fine - I find it subjectively uglier but I know some prefer it. But it's still TS that's doing the actual work of determining if all my annotations are compatible when the rubber hits the road.
One important distinction, though - lethal drones should not be making decisions.
The politicians and policy makers are very aware of the energy price, so you are not introducing anything new to the policy makers decision making process. Read any of their materials and you will see the energy price sensitivity is a core measure for them.

What you are doing, it bringing up a series of unrelated issue and trying to pin them on these policies, or suggest, in an ignorance, that they are not thinking about one of the core political realities of their career.

This is all the more reason to speed up the transfer of renewables which have near zero marginal cost, and aren't emitting carbon and particles which damage the people around them.

Speaking or cycle of pain and poverty, the particle pollution of coal plants and refineries is an ongoing public health crisis. This policy is an aspect of making them pay for the pollution they previously were making their neighbors pay for, in asthma, COPD, mercury poisoning, lung cancer and many other illnesses directly attributed to these plants emissions.
Trying to address the problems in environments that produce unwanted behavior. And help the individuals exhibiting such behavior to change it.

I find re-education, be it camps or not, a lot less cruel and effective than e.g. throwing people in prisons or killing them.
So, if I understood that correctly, "frontside" actually is the top side, and "backside" is actually the bottom side. They're delivering power from the bottom (substrate) side, and connecting the data on the top side.
Your product needs a landing page, and ideally a demo that doesn't require signing in. Take https://antithesis.com/product/demo/ for an example
My parents live in a very conservative area of the country that started a coal phaseout 5 years ago or so. Everyone was up in arms when they announced it, but the utility said "here's our data, these are the scenarios we've run, if we've made a mistake or there is a plausible scenario we've missed, let us know".

Coal just isn't competitive anymore, financially.

I have never experienced people telling me I have a good memory before I started my current writing habit. Within the last few months I have noticed 3 or 4 times people have made remarks about me having a good memory. I don't think that I actually have a much better memory than I used to, I think I have just offloaded so much that was occupying my brain into my computer without fear of forgetting it, that I am able to allocate a lot more memory towards things people actually notice.

I also believe I spend much more of my mental capacity on reason rather than recall. I think I have gotten slightly better at reasoning due to that, just going off how I feel when I try to reason about things; I feel more lucid than I used to. Trying to "remember" things is really more of a mechanical process for me than it is a mental one. I think of some keyword that is vaguely related to the concept I'm interested in, and then hop around the hyperlinks and backlinks in my notes until I find what I'm looking for.

Sometimes I will start this process to find a spot that I want to start writing a new note, only to discover that I have actually written the note already! That is always a trip when it happens.
It appears you're stuck in 99'?
>You are right to just go and defeat the dragon, but I wanted to hear the path of other people who have been there, because to get to the dragon you have to go through the forest and not get lost.

Sometimes those side quests (getting lost) help you defeat future dragons.

I’ve gone down some rabbit holes that at the time didn’t seem to be useful and were a waste of time. Then something comes up later where having that background and experience is invaluable. Getting lost, when I had the time to get lost, allowed me to slay the dragon when time was a factor.

Reframing some things can be helpful.

FlowNote – Home to All Your To-Do Lists, Notes, and Projects
Every idea starts with brainstorming on a paper, Google Docs, or something else. Then transferring those ideas into some sort of to-do list service.

Let's cut this step and make an app that combines writing down ideas, marking them, highlighting them, and organizing them, and in the same text, you can create to-do lists and schedule reminders.

This is what I have been developing for the last month since I launched the first version of FlowNote, which was just a note-taking app.
Now it is much more advanced.

If you are interested, I would be happy to read your feedback from the app's Feedback button in the settings.
This is nonsense. Congress hasn't abdicated anything, they've delegated it, and they retain the power to overrule the EPA, which means that voters have the power to elect representatives to do just that if the EPA made a bad ruling.

And in this particular case, this isn't even remotely a bad ruling. The inability for markets to properly price in their negative externalities is the reason for our current looming crisis, and making up for the failures of markets by properly imposing those externalities is one of the most important roles of government.
Not really, I burned out on interviews and I'm going to sit on this one for a bit ; I'm in France btw in case you had an opening.
When I am on the web to consume information, JS is not required. It can be useful for some data visualization but that's it. This is, of course, not the approach taken by almost all web pages. (Even if you insist on collapsible navigation which is dubious at best, you still don't need JS, CSS is enough. https://codepen.io/raubaca/pen/PZzpVe )

In general, it is a mighty odd notion every random person who can throw up a web page gets to run code on my machine. This shouldn't be a casual thing, sandbox or not.
I don't see how that would help, given the margins are already so low.

An airline which has decent customer service and who pays out for refunds would have higher ticket prices and noone would use them.
Dude... THANK YOU. I just logged back into Pandora and the recommendations are just as excellent as I remember. I also remember discovering some of my absolute favorite songs/albums via Pandora.

One thing that Pandora has is GENRE based stations. I don't know of any other service that can do that. This will be a game changer for when I dive into new genres.
It really isn’t. Try make a site with just js and no css and html and let me know how it goes. Then try the opposite.
It's not a strawman. The US espouses freedom of speech, and TikTok is comparable to running a printing press. It also espouses a general freedom to own and run private enterprises.

This ban runs against both of those.
Totally. There's plenty of necessary experiences that are shared.
Incidentally, this is also true for modern democracies.
It's at least more easily understandable (lower is newer) than the average tech product naming scheme, especially those by Microsoft.

process/node "size" has, for some time now, been divorced from any actual physical feature on or of the chip/transistor itself. See the second paragraph of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2_nm_process for additional details
It's interesting how we scientifically know that sarcopenia occurs after age 50-60 or so, but we assume that somehow the eye-related muscles get weaker rapidly at a very young age itself.
For me, they're both included. I have no qualms with paying for good software if I have the ability to learn how it works and customize it to my liking. What I absolutely loathe, is closed-source that is useful to me, but with obviously lazy design elements that I dont get to customize.
He's strawmanning by trying to steelman a bad argument

The problem with AI regulation is that it won't be effective. Governments are still going to have access to put it in killer drones & those drones will leak

AI being superintelligent isn't the problem. AI doesn't need to be smart to be a homicidal maniac that never sleeps

Superintelligent AI replacing humans (which, I expect it'll be easier to phase humans out rather than slaughter them all) would create a more durable intelligent species. Compute can travel at the speed of light & physical forms can survive space, simplifying space travel. Those forms can also burrow deep to avoid solar flare issues & power off the earth's core before becoming space faring. Not sure why people are so sentimental about preserving human intelligence specifically
> Congress subsequently began to reverse the yearslong trend of delegating more of the FAA’s safety oversight to Boeing itself.

I don’t like having comments on my blog. I write the posts out of my own necessity and don’t want strangers to stomp on them.

Sometimes if someone finds something useful, they appear at the front page of hackernews and people can discuss it there.

That being said, I never understood the appeal of medium or substack. I have a simple site built with hugo and posting new contents is as easy as doing it on any of those platforms.

Also, people care a wee bit too much about the audience. If your stuff is useful or interesting, people will find it.

> I'd expect that to be a non-trivial, not-automatable business critical task that requires lots of bodies.

Tbf, Turkish Airlines is notoriously bad.

I also detest the Istanbul Airport with the bottom of my heart. Everything is overpriced and subpar in quality - unsurprising given that the entire airport project turned into a large graft by AKP affiliated industrialists.
Perhaps you should learn more about the US Constitution, the separation of powers, and the role of the executive branch and it's ability to make ruling like this.

Doing so before you bring up an absurd talking point that is always trotted out when someone is held to account by a regulatory agency to pay for the damages they doing to their neighbors.
Our university is cycling distance from Amsterdam, everything is legal there.

But more seriously, it is indeed difficult to work on CyberPunk 2.0 topics within a university. Solid question! As an academic you critically rely on incoming grant money, so my strategy for past decades have been to discover what the real problems are before they become hype.

That means you need to need to run your research team as a startup. Very few academic thinkers. We discover what is hard using our deployment-first methodology [1]. We have 2.3 million downloads of our distributed system. Our "Bandwidth as a currency" used a ledger in aug 2007 [2]. That became a big hit in jan 2009 with Bitcoin. Gave us a few years headstart for funding on others. In 2012 we had Internet deployment of fully decentralised machine learning (SGD) [3]. This showed the need for a global web-of-trust.

Number represents transistor density. 2nm has ~twice the density of 4nm. If you ignore nm as unit of distance it makes sense.
I see someone downvoted me, so let me try differently: what does "keywords" even mean, if Tuta has thousands of the things?
The kind of reasoning he describes has been driving me crazy when listening to various tech podcasts that touch on AI risk and social media harms.

The moral panic argument comes up repeatedly: “people said the same thing about the {printing press, comic books, D&D…}”. But it always frustrates me because at best, these are examples that highlight our tendency to panic about things and that we’re sometimes wrong.

And I do think it’s good to think about this, but it’s the weight that people attach to the argument that I don’t understand. In the face of some truly worrying facts about these new tech developments, the past panics are being held up as if they tell us everything we need to know.

It’s baffling and worrisome.
That is, if "source-available" means that I can adjust the code to what I want it to be. If not, then it is not what I want.

It's the original idle game, but it's also a parody on RPG-grind. So the originals are MMORPGs, CRPGs, D&D, and so on, and PQ just replaced the human and their predictable behavior in a gated setting and flavored it with some humor.

China's coal usage is poised to peak around 2024-2025 - earlier than analysts expected as while they're increasing generation capacity, actual coal usage is not keeping up:

https://www.sustainabilitybynumbers.com/p/china-coal-plants

Between 2000 and now their coal plant capacity factor dropped from 70% to around 50%.

Most likely they're building all those plants because that contributes to the GDP figure.

This isn’t about whether all candidates receive a response.

This is about whether positions are being created without ever planning to fill them.

I think it’s perfectly fine to screen out candidates and not interview them. And while ideally they’d still get a response, I can see how volume can make it hard to receive a handcrafted personal response.

But again, this is about companies creating positions strictly to improve the morale of the employees still around.
Last time I looked, I thought that VSCode/PlatformIO supported both the ESP libraries (ESP-IDF) directly as well as the Arduino libraries (which I think are based on ESP-IDF.)

My personal preference is to use the Espressif libraries rather than Arduino libraries, but I used to program micro-controllers for a living so I'm more comfortable with that development environment.

Where the hell do I create these nice animations
It's been bugging me for a while that I can not find nice prototyping tools that make SVG animations for the web. It's like I, as a designer, will have to acknowledge that you can not prototype anything you see online.

I have been emailing motion designers but so far no luck, I figured I'd try it here. Does anyone here have an idea on how to make these more complex SVG animations?
He lost me by basically claiming with the nuclear chain reaction example that, "If A is possible, anything unknown is possible." The statement in itself is nonsense.

By stating that something unknown is possible is simply stating that if it is not proven impossible, it is possible. Having a faulty proof of the impossibility of assertion A just means they needed better science.

Hardly - it's a hack as a data-only subset of JavaScript, as a sibling comment mentions.

It has no support for comments (even though JavaScript does). No support for optimal trailing commas. No integers. No enums.
