The word in Germanic that is used closest to "engine" would be maschine/maskin/ ... and so on.

It is called motor with respect to its effect, and machine with respect to how it works. A machine is called motor to denote it is connected to wheels or propellers, but service or repairs are technically performed on the machine.

This distinction can sound a little old-fashioned now.
The Workings of the Spirit
What do you mean by "the US defeated Nazi Germany"?

As I understand it the US was preoccupied with Japan until the USSR had Berlin within reach. US racial policy being an inspiration for european fascists, like Hitler, kind of makes the affiliation with nazis both in the US and West Germany (and NATO) easier to understand than the USSR keeping some nazis in important positions on their side.
On the one hand you have a point, and they're drifting apart culturally - but at the same time Taiwan is not keeping up economically or culturally at all.

If the rate of economic progress stays close to constant, in a decade it's going to be hard to look at the evil communists across the straight who are much better off living standards wise. Taipei is a bit drab and ugly that hasn't seen any development in the last decade. It looks worse than second tier cities in China. Just my surface level impression is that you fly across the straight and people are dressed nicer and look better off on the subway there.

On the cultural front they're also not doing hot.. the domestic culture is anemic. They don't make movies like they did in the 90s. Nobody cares about Taiwan's cultural output (other than bubble tea). The art scene is honestly.. pathetic here. In large part b/c they can't engage with anything historic other than recent history of the White terror. There is an eww factor with regards to engaging with Chinese history - its seen as the culture of the "other" and so you see it in every day life.. no tea ceremony, no hanfu, no interest in history. There is also no real "Taiwanese culture" that would be alien to a Chinese person (I can only think of Pili?). There is some stuff built on top of Fujianese culture.. but it's got no legs so far.

The elephant in the room is that Taiwanese are also starting to consume more and more Chinese media - which was kinda garbage quality for a long time but has vastly improved in the last 5 years. I think this will take off. You can already see it on Tiktok and stuff.. people use a lot more mainland terms and expressions.

If the Chinese were smart they'd build 10-20 ferries and offer people free trips to Xiamen/Shanghai. Most Taiwanese never travel to China and have little sense for the cultural similarities

If the Chinese manage to ramp up chip production then Taiwanese is really screwed. TSMC is some insane percentage of the GDP. The other insane fraction is of course businesses that work in China like Foxconn.. China already has this place by the balls unfortunately
Samsung official repairs are a major ripoff. They offered to repair my tablet for 3/4 the price of a new one. I said no, paid the non-refundable deposit, bought an entire logic board and did it myself. It worked out very cheap.

That's for maximizing energy efficiency. Tankless I think might be a tad bit more easier and cheaper to implement than this.

Regardless the point is eliminating the use of natural gas in heating water is itself a benefit.
Plenty of books got banned in the deep south for things that are hardly obscene. Just add a teenage LGBT character, have some paragraphs that are written from his point of view, mention harassment by bigots and you have a very bannable book.

You can always count on the small mindedness of a small percentage (unfortunately growing) of the population.

Most distros should have a useful Linux package "atool", containing the command "aunpack" which does the least surprising thing for all archive types (without creating duplicate root when it already exists).

An advantage is typo squatting gets eliminated (see js or python worlds for why this is an issue).

If you want to move to another domain the “go mod edit —replace” cli tool is designed for this.

If you want to host somewhere else, or maybe change to a vanity url or something, you can just publish a go-import meta tag and it all just works https://pkg.go.dev/cmd/go#hdr-Remote_import_paths

I don’t write go myself but man did they get a lot of big decisions right. I’d be totally open to writing go in future but I have java so don’t really need it. I envy go’s build and deploy stories though.

Indeed not creating a new directory of names is an advantage, plus it also means all the short names are effectively reserved for the standard library, and there's no scramble from developers to squat on all the "good" names.
Yep, it's unfortunately a bit hard to find, but it's well explained here:

Also AFAIK there's still no good UX for private packages that require auth.

Yeah - that's an interesting case. Definitely goes against my instincts as to what should be, but case law is like that.

I suppose in this case the claim has to be something like: "They hired someone who sounds like my impersonation of a character in a film called Her".

You should see the Soviet levels of subsidies.
I’m saying your range was incorrect and it only takes one example to show that. But here’s another 32.3% using single axes tracking: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesquite_Solar_project. I can go over 35%, but the point’s clear. In the real world roughly half of grid scale solar power is generated from plants over 25% capacity factors and sub 15% is mostly just outdated solar thermal or very poor locations only in use because of subsidies. https://emp.lbl.gov/pv-capacity-factors

Thermal power plants pay for fuel and therefore real world capacity factors are lower as renewable generation increases. I could point to many coal power plants in the 40-50% range, but that feels pointless.

Anyway, rooftop solar isn’t representative of the grid scale solar because it’s doesn’t use ideal angles for the latitude let alone 1 or 2 axis tracking. It’s also frequently shaded by trees etc. People trying to make money selling at wholesale prices just care more about efficiency than someone offsetting retail electricity rates.

If you make a CAA record on Cloudflare then they add extra invisible CAA records which authorize the ~4 different CAs they use for CDN certificates. They really assume you're using the whole stack, not just DNS.
Not every opinion is equally valid
I got a worthwhile (for those who wish to be paid in scenery) non-CS degree, but nobody cared about that when applying to CS (well, SWE) jobs because of where it came from — although for that matter, it was almost 20 years before anyone (in this instance, for nation-state reasons) bothered to check that I actually had it, at which point I had to call my school and sheepishly ask if they still had my "sheepskin" on file anywhere...

ProTip: catalogues are for people unwilling to do social engineering; if you can get the relevant people to sign off on it, you can turn just about any cursus into a degree programme.

EDIT: CMU produced both Olin "Jack 'n Zac helps me get through the meetings without one of my students winding up with his severed head in a bowling-ball bag" Shivers and Tom "imagine that instead of chainsaws, we are juggling something more dangerous" [Murphy] 7, so I assume that despite my current lack of ghits, "useless CS degree" is a term of art there?

[Not to mention Perlis, Newell, Floyd, Feigenbaum & Reddy, Clarke, etc., but all of these, while duly recognised by more august bodies, are far less likely to have ever been Gonzo Informaticians, finding themselves somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when attacked by "huge bytes, all swooping and screeching and diving". In https://fictionadvocate.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/gonzo... I guess that'd be Tom7 driving with Dr. Shivers riding shotgun?]
Again, it does not matter, and it is entirely subjective, if art is poorly done or not. It does not matter if it doesn't calm you. It does not matter if it reflects poorly on Microsoft. Why do you care so much?

Like it or not, art exists in a vacuum. It does not need to justify its existence. That's the very definition of art.
I've had Fairphone 3 for a few years. The camera isn't fancy but I don't care. The original battery died at some point. Replacing it was very easy; no tool needed. Just like it was in the '90s with most phones. The repairability promise is kept, IMO.
The only issue I had with this phone is that after some system update the fingerprint sensor was regarded as not meeting some security level and stopped being usable by sensitive apps (banking).
Makes me wonder why Depot isn't moving to on-prem hardware. When you're reselling compute with a better API, you give up a substantial proportion of your profits to the hyperscaler while offering worse performance (due to being held hostage to the hyperscaler's design decisions, like lazy loading root EBS from S3).

Surely an optimized approach here looks something like booting customer CI workloads directly from the hypervisor, using an ISO/squashfs/etc. stored directly on the hypervisor, where the only networked disks are the ones with the customers' BuildKit caches?
Have I got this right?

Cloudflare serves an SSL certificate for each site that it MITMs, and they fail to revoke it when the site leaves Cloudflare. A site "leaving" Cloudflare means that the site's DNS no longer points to Cloudflare IP addresses.

What's the problem? The departing site stops serving the Cloudflare certificate. Cloudflare is no longer the destination for visitors to the site, so it won't be serving the certificate either. The only way it could abuse the retained certificate would be if it controlled the site's DNS, so if $SITE_OWNER changes DNS provider, the retained certificate isn't a problem.

What did I miss?

That is not fully accurate. Brave Search is fully independent - the last dependency on Bing was dropped more than a year ago, but even at the time the dependency would not have prevented Brave Search from functioning during an event like yesterday’s Bing outage - it would have resulted in a drop of quality on a subset of complicated queries, though.

The “augmentation with Google” that you mention is an optional feature that only works in Brave browser and doesn’t mean Brave Search is less independent than in other browsers (but it might mean that the quality is increased for some queries; or at least closer to Google results in these cases).

I think when talking about independence it is important to make a distinction between “dependent” which means “cannot work at all if the provider goes down” (e.g. yesterday’s outage) and “dependent” meaning that the service would continue to operate but with some amount of degradation of service. It’s a spectrum. Yesterday we saw that some services could not operate at all when Bing was down.

Disclaimer: I work at Brave.
> My stance is that if the loans were only made on degrees that could reasonably pay back, the administrative bloat that has driven up costs would not be possible.

The administrative bloat that has driven up costs will eat every single penny that will still be available.

It wouldn't be as many pennies as it does today, but it would still capture every bit of that free money that it can.
I'm curious whether you've considered using Box2D[1] as a reference, since it is a pretty complete implementation of rigid body physics? Or is it more that you want to re-implement things from scratch as part of this tutorial?

I've done calcs for using hydrogen from electrolysis for ammonia production.

I think it's 40kwh per kg to make hydrogen. Ammonia is 17.6% hydrogen by weight.

So you need 7kwh/kg to make ammonia. At $40/MWH

Cost is $280/ton.

This source (I can't vouch for) range is $303/ton to $1058

https://www.spglobal.com/commodityinsights/en/market-insight...

Looking more, appears that ammonia producers are already building out electrolysis plants. You don't hear about this because the companies that do this don't care what the public thinks about anything.

You want to subsidize a failing company?

The deeper problem is that, while the war isn't happening, the war products are not critical. It doesn't matter whether they work or are delivered. Even the medium scale wars the US did maintain over the past couple of decades to keep the machine going showed that various areas were just fleecing them for inadequate products or regular grift (like the vanishing Afghan government). Much of the Pacific fleet's maintenance budget was being stolen by one guy named "Fat Leonard". This sort of thing doesn't go away until the war is actually critical rather than something you can escape by turning off the news.
It's not about thinking differently, it's about operator location, you simply don't know with long nested function what operation is performed at end-3 nest unless you look at beg+3

Unpacking Elixir – Embedded Linux with Nerves
The most anti-consumer part of this company is each overpriced covid test has an expiry date. For a cheap $5 test you can find in a grocery store, even if it's past expiry you can still use the test and the ones I've tried have been accurate even when expired. For Cue, the DRM prevents you from using the expired tests and you have to throw it away. Good riddance.
> Yes, cool tech, but we want simple websites. Your product should wow us, no special tricks needed.

Agree.

Many times when my teams or I built products we had came up with cool CSS tricks or visual pizzaz during the creative process. Swishes, swirls, micro interactions, confetti, particle animations, and all that jazz. Absolutely adore stuff like this.

But: you really need to put yourself into the chanclas of a new user. Of a person who's on the page for the very first time. During their lunch break. While waiting in line for a coffee. Ask yourself: Is that really needed?

And cut mercilessly.

Side note: You can observe a different flavour of that same thing in great screenplays / movies. Nothing is there just for the sake of it; every scene promotes the plot and tells us things about the characters. [0] Compare this to the drawn out, flashy, soulless action sequences you see in DC action flicks or Matrix 2 and beyond.

"If an LLM can answer specific questions about a subject, does this demonstrate true understanding? If not, why not?"

If it could, I would say there is understanding. But in every area where I have expertise, I see LLMs failing my questions. Just like a bad student would, who memorized textbooks, but did not connect or process the knowledge in any way.
huh, I thought that happened years ago.
Probably LMMs (Large Multimodal Models) maybe?

I am not entirely sure if this'll be the future, but having one model that has relatively good performance over a huge range of types of data feels pretty good tbh
I'm confused. The sellers are not claiming these are new works, are they? The artists involved are dead, so that might be a little tricky.

Instead these are AI works in the style of these artists, passed off as prints of original works, no?

The name is literally "H". First X, now this. The difference is that (former Twitter) X can afford this. I'm very unsure of the choice of name, regardless of their merit.

Weird thing is that this article (or rather press release) doesn't even acknowledge how unorthodox the name is.
Huh. I always remembered it as being s because of French sentier, meaning "path".

Sure, I can. And I do on my mobile phone cause is the most covenient and fast thing to do and don't have much of a choice.

But why do I need to put termux on a device when it is already running a full-fledged linux? How would you feel if tomorrow you are forced to use Docker just because you can't have root access to your PC? For me it doesn't make any sense at all.

I'm really disappointed of seeing cool stuff locked down by default. Why? Why not be a nice player and go full open source from day one? Is that really hard thing to do? Do they lose anything by doing so?

Or at least when I turn on the device for the first time give me options to choose from:

a) A regular Android.
b) An Android that has full root access.
c) Run a regular Linux.
d) Something else.

In any case the user should easily be able to change to any of the above once running.

Is that asking too much for 800 bucks and for a device that has just entered the market?
I agree - that's sort of my point. As the excess reduces proportionally, so will the administrative bloat.
The average person has a worse understanding of investments than does ChatGPT, including with regard to logical consistency and following the implications of what they say they believe. This is also why so many treat lotteries and pyramid schemes as "good investments".
