Claiming the economy is up 3% is such a small number compared to the massive inflation we had. Inflation is hard to measure and frankly 3% over a 50%-100% inflation seem easily an approximation mistake.
Governments constantly try to underplay a recession/inflation because if people knows there is recession/high inflation the thing spirals even in a deeper recession/high inflation.
I believe we lost a lot of purchase power. I don't blame a specific Administration or someone richer.
Simply we printed a ton of money as economic stimulus during covid to balance the fact that we kept people at home.

1. Flood the higher ed market with low-quality federally-guaranteed loans.

2. Witness the explosion of enrollment in low-quality colleges and universities.

3. Notice the spillover effect of (2) into every corner of higher education, in the form of higher tuitions everywhere.

4. Watch as (2) leads to ludicrous debt burden on college grads.

5. Wring hands about out-of-control cost of college, leading to higher demand for loans.

Rinse and repeat year after year.

What would happen if federal student loans were phased out across the board?
If you're getting a status code like 404 or 500, it means there's no problem between you and the web server. The status codes come from the server. The exception is when you get a gateway/reverse proxy error. Usually 503 I think. That means the web server is down, but there's another server in front of it reporting that it's down.

Strongly recommend NOT using Anaconda, ever, for anything.

Use Poetry, if you have to, use pip/venv.

When it comes time to managing your actual production code, if you learned in anaconda you will have no idea what you are doing. Pick your dependencies purposefully and carefully, not relying on whatever Conda tells you to use.

Managing deps in Python is awful and Poetry makes it suck less.

We actually did some preliminary experiments with Taichi hoping to benefit from the GPU parallelization. I think generally, the world of autodiff tooling is in very good shape. For anything non-exotic, we just use JAX or Torch to get things done quickly and with good performance.

Generally, integrating the ideas behind DiscoGrad into existing frameworks has been on our mind since day one, and the C++ implementation represents a bit of a compromise made to have a lot of flexibility during development while the algorithms were still a moving target, and good performance (albeit without parallelization and GPU support as of yet). Based on DiscoGrad's current incarnation, however, it should not be terribly hard to, say, develop a JAX+DiscoGrad fork and offer some simple "branch-like" abstraction. While we've been looking into this, it can be a bit tricky in a university context to do the engineering leg work required to build something robust...

No he doesn’t. He’s a charlatan.

He uses the same marketing speak since 40 years ago when MFM drives were the norm even though hard drive technology has changed fundamentally at all layers.

If you have questionable media the safest thing to do is make an image, not try to “repair” the device in place.

I’m not a sceptic, I just know what I’m talking about. Anyone with a slightly detailed knowledge of modern hard drives knows that the SpinRite claims are hogwash.

It would be harmless if it didn’t actually waste precious time on marginal media not simply trying to make an expedient image.
My first thought as I started reading was PANDAS. Had a (thankfully negative) brief episode where PANDAS was on the table for some health issues one of our children had. My initial reaction was, “Wait. Strep infections can cause mental health issues? WHAT?”.

Fortunately all doctors we went to see, including the primary pediatrician, were well acquainted with it and with the blood tests necessary to confirm it.

And everyone was willing to throw a strep test in if we asked. It’s non-invasive and easy to administer.

Can’t imagine going through this with non-compliant doctors.

Yup. Per capita GDP is also a terrible metric and affordability has very little to do with strong economic performance.
Another advantage of Meet that it is under U.S. control and law. Zoom out their development team in China. That country actively targets dissidents. It’s easier when those controlling the software are easy for them to control.

Better to use Meet than Zoom if the Chinese are in your threat profile or a larger threat.
My Meet calls always end up pixelated, where Zoom looks perfect. That’s basically the only thing I care about after the audio quality, I often cannot read someone’s screen when shared via Meet. Zoom also feels lower latency but I never checked if that’s the case.

Note sure if that’s because I’m not in the US.
True but so many vendors are still only releasing integrations which are compatible with RHEL/Ubuntu so it great that Talos exists but we can't really use it because our vendors have specific requirements for supported kernels and patch levels of more common OS.
I just want to say that this is really actually kind of mind-blowing from an audio engineering perspective.

Outputting audio from multiple laptops in the same room is easy. Perfectly syncing it is harder. Implementing echo cancellation across all of that is quite a bit trickier than regular single-device echo cancellation.

But then treating all the laptop microphones as a kind of microphone array, having to deal with sync issues and phase issues and background noise issues... that's hard core.

Kudos to the engineering team on this one. This is actually pretty amazing.
First mirrorless for me was the Fujifilm X-T5. High resolution, great design, easy and fun to use. I find editing is rarely needed with the film simulations. I started with the 16-80 f4 and it really is an excellent all rounder but for wildlife the XF150-600 can’t be beat. Light and sharp!
Not OP but I'll give my take because I mostly agree. Because Google lives in a world few of us do. I'm SRE/DevOps and our lives are nothing like Google SREs. We have almost zero control over software that is chucked our way. Any attempt to try and control them fails with management telling us "Just fucking ship it". Finally, something I realized after working with various FAANG SRE types, they don't understand what bad development practices look like, they can't imagine it.

If ICMP is allowed into your network, your machine will most likely receive a Destination Unreachable response from the host that can't forward the packet further.

Your application won't see the ICMP message unless you configure the socket to report them(these are considered "transient" errors). On Linux this is done via the socket option IP_RECVERR.

ETA: there's not a ton of value collecting errors at this layer when you're working at L7. The errors that _do_ get surfaced for DU at your layer will be appropriate for the failure handling logic you'll inevitably have already. In this case I think it'd be a timeout, as other layers implement retries in the face of unreachable destinations.

I found these RFCs helpful re: how the TCP layer handles ICMP errors: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1122#page-103

Section 4.2.3.9:

> Since these Unreachable messages indicate soft error conditions, TCP MUST NOT abort the connection, and it SHOULD make the information available to the application.

> DISCUSSION:
TCP could report the soft error condition to the application layer with an upcall to the ERROR_REPORT routine, or it could merely note the message and report it to the application only when and if the TCP connection times out.

This one gets into the nitty gritty of how the stacks interact in order to study ICMP as vector for TCP attacks.

The fact that you can't easily go full screen on Meets is bizarre. Makes it a non-starter for pairing. Also, the dedicated app's session lasts for like a day which makes it useless, so I'm stuck having to scroll through my 3 chrome windows and 40 tabs to see where my meets tab is. Although I'm sure the session timeout is some sort of gsuite configuration
It sends you to Ahrefs (an external site) after you click on a keyword generated by your tool. It would be cool to bake additional keyword recommendations from Ahrefs into your app to improve UX. Of course, this would be expensive. To access their API you need to pay at least $15k per year. That said, nice little MVP for a free keyword tool.

How do you plan to productize it (if at all)?

> IF you just want to go electricity>heat>electricity

I think the idea here is to go electricity->heat-storage->heat-usage, using the heat storage to take advantage of cheap renewables that might be otherwise curtailed and to buffer the heat to provide reliability for whatever process it is used for.

Almost any form of energy storage other than heat (i.e. batteries, hydrogen, gravity) would be far more expensive in that use case. By comparison, bricks are an incredibly cheap way to store heat.

If packaged correctly this could also be useful for uses like ovens at industrial bakeries, which have highly predictable energy use patterns.
That's a shady tactic right there.
The most efficient way to survey is to not survey. Nothing more efficient than 0 runtime overhead.

Snark aside, surveys are quite literally the least efficient means of gathering a sample. Scanning random people on the street when a known criminal is likely to lay low and stay inside. I can't imagine expensive surveillance cameras is cheaper than paying an investigator to track down a suspect.
Not me. But maybe this can inspire you. A person I worked with in Canada would go on leave for the winter and operate a snow plow. Then he’d return to a dev job once the snow melted. Mind you this was a low stakes tiny company maintaining some Mickey Mouse CMS in a niche. It was for all purposes an SMB tech. So the salaries weren’t the SV windfall style but they were not too bad for the local market.
>If you're a public company and you go from healthy to mass layoffs within a single quarter then your investors (and employees) should be a lot more concerned.

1. According to the CEO the layoffs in question were for "~40 sales people out of over 1,500 in our go to market org"[1]. Is that really a "mass layoff"?

2. Did you not remember that the layoffs coincided with reversal in macroeconomic conditions? Specifically, the reversal from "inflation is transitory" to "inflation is persistent and the central bank will hike interest interest rates".

In iOS you can use a Focus mode. You can either "Silence Notifications From" to blacklist or "Allow Notifications From" to whitelist (then don’t whitelist any to silence all).
I can't say I've ever really thought about using electricity to generate high heats because it's often way less efficient (convert x -> electricity -> heat, vs just chemical(combustion) -> heat) But sure, if you had "free" electricity (wind/solar) that is less of an issue.

I'm wondering if anyone has done the math for a cement plant in the southwest surrounded by PV solar.

Yes definitely. Again, audience and interests are different, but they are social media. Funny (sadly?) enough as a teenager I discovered IRC and was absolutely addicted and for a good 1.5 years spent every minute I could on IRC. I would use IRC at the school library between classes, at community college, at family friends' houses, in my own house, etc. We were poor at home but despite that I literally used any possible internet connected terminal to connect to IRC (and its resilience as a protocol made that really easy.) I had poor impulse control at that age but I do remember IRC a lot, and not in the most healthy way.

Also interestingly enough text-based social media (HN, Reddit, Bluesky, X) addict me way more than video based ones (like Tiktok, Youtube, or Instagram) do. I don't know if it's because it takes longer to digest the information through video than text but I do know that I have no problem with looking at pictures and videos and stopping for days/weeks, but once I get hooked on text it's really hard to stop. I even spent a year in middle school addicted to reading books though I had other things going on in my life at the time and books were a bit of an escape. I've had waves of HN addiction and definitely enjoy X and Bluesky because of the textual media of the experience.

As an adult I mostly grew out of these addictions but I can still feel their pull on me. Luckily I have enough going on in my offline life that digital life takes a backseat.

If you want to think of these in terms of "algorithms", then IRC and Usenet have a simple "chronological" algorithm to display posts while Reddit and HN use an "upvote" based engagement algorithm. X and more "modern" social networks may use more sophisticated algorithms but they're all just algorithms to return a sorted order of items.
To +1 this, yes, every single one AFAIK.

What you're running into is almost certainly noise cancelling. It's turning off your incoming audio so it doesn't intrude on your microphone picking up your voice.

Disabling or tweaking noise cancelling or audio modes (i.e. to "headset") on basically every meeting software will eventually get you a combination that doesn't do this. It's sometimes a bit hidden though, and many have chosen to just say "everyone gets maximum noise cancelling" rather than trying to guess based on your audio device(s) so it doesn't always do it automatically or obviously.

Can’t speak for the OP. But I knew the guy in Canada selling Polish hot dogs. Apparently he cleared about 150K (20y ago) working half a year. The other half he went to Poland. It’s all about the location. His was right next to a uni busy street.
We're doing something less expensive: essentially, the overall gradient is computed based on certain statistics based on the branch condition and its derivatives when a branch is encountered.

We mention neural networks because DiscoGrad lets you combine branching programs with neural networks (via Torch) and jointly train/optimize them.
Dumb question: really compiled code , non plain readable anymore ?
I disagree with you but respect your opinion.

To me, the internet is one of the greatest things we're lucky to have.

I also think despite those things you mentioned (climate change, yada yada) we're going to be fine. I am hopeful for the future.

I can only wish life gives us both what we are hoping for :).
This is key for me as well. If I think about how I put together answers to coding questions, I’m usually looking at a couple SO pages, maybe picking ideas from lower-down answers.. just like in a search engine it’s never the first result, it’s a bit of a dig. You just have to learn how to dig a different way. But then at that point I’m like, is this actually saving me time?

My sense is that over time, LLM-style “search” is going to get better and better at these kinds of back-and-forth conversations, until at some point in the future the people who have really been learning how to do it will outpace people who stuck with trad search. But I think that’ll be gradual.
Pretty sure literally all of them do, but generally only full duplex.

Not triplex or quadruplex etc.

In other words, if you're having a 1-1 video call, both of you have your audio working at all times.

But as you go to 3, 4, 5, 10, 20 participants, it generally continues to be just max 2 simultaneous audio streams, determined by whoever has been the loudest recently.

Unless you turn on special features like music mode etc.

This is a feature, not a bug, because otherwise background noise and sounds would start adding up to become intolerable. (Why we usually try to intentionally stay on mute anyways, so we don't accidentally become even just that second audio stream.)
