Put another way, if there are 10,000 shrines to this one saint around Europe, the probability that 7 will randomly be in a straight line on the Mercator projection is a lot higher than if there are <10.
I was wrong pretty quickly! lol
You may perhaps be interested in these two documentaries about the geometric principles that were fundamental to medieval town planning:

"Die Entdeckung der mittelalterlichen Stadtplanung" (2004): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZzEzhIGnwM

"Mittelalterliche Baukunst – Schönheit ist planbar" (2009) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQcKOkbagDc

Both documentaries are in German, but are well worth watching, even if the automatic English subtitles are sometimes a little inaccurate.
But arte is clearly not good because of music. They do some,but what we watch it for are their mindblowing and regular documentaries they either produce or purchase. As well as their debate shows (I can spend a month watching their daily debates show C dans l'air).

But there is something I learned eventually: I work deep in finance now, on a trading floor in HK, and all their cool documentaries about Finance feel to me, now, very populist and not very honest: so they probably have an agenda trending left wing at least in France. Which is fine, just need to know.

I think AI is BS, but if it could voice-translate to English most of Arte, maybe that'd be interesting enough.

Thanks. That's a substantial ratio. Hazen's group is at the Cleveland clinic and has done a lot of good work so there is something there. Anything on how much Xylitol use is required to get to that risk level?
and by recent, TPM was external last in gen 8 of intels, so this attack works on cpus released last in October 2017. That's almost 7 years ago. Most organizations have a 3-5 year replacement schedule.
> You are being disingenuous and setting up a false dichotomy

Or he is taking the argument to an extreme to highlight the absurdity of its trajectory.
That seems a bit weird of a complaint.

All of these chips have devboards in the order of $20. Surely you could have built a code prototype with a devboards before designing up a PCB?

In the embedded world, timers are very specifically designed. Yeah, TimerA is more flexible and maybe you needed more of that, but the less flexible TimerB on AVR is more power efficient (like 1/3rd the power or something). So TimerB has it's other uses. (Really, I'd say TimerB is specialized at frequency counting tasks but is less good at PWM or other "output" tasks. So TimerB is kind of an "input timer")

And TimerD is this weird behemoth that I don't understand yet. But someone probably used it for something good out there...

--------

But given the nature of TimerA vs TimerB vs TimerD (as well as the knowledge that TimerA is on different pins than TimerB), surely that should have cued you into the point that you should prototype your design?

Don't lock down your PCB until you have idea of what wires should go to which pins. And part of that process is deciding if TimerA vs TimerB vs TimerD was what you needed.
Not to drop this kind hacker’s competitor, but I’ve been a happy user of https://rectangleapp.com/. Will definitely be checking this out instead tho, even though I’ve paid for rectangle — any demo that has SublimeText windows in it is a demo I trust!
Ehh maybe, the images will be too perfect. I don't think they can model every source of bias, that would be a huge training problem.
Why New York scrapped congestion charging
If you are coming at higher speed eg. from the moon, then it's possible to slow down to get reentry equivalent to low earth orbit one. But you can't really slow down much more because you would just plunge into atmosphere at steeper angle. Some vehicles utilize skip reentry trajectories, where it does high altitude pass through atmosphere and then goes in second time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-ballistic_atmospheric_entr...
Fair, though by the same metric, aircraft are in operation when being embarked and disembarked.

At the end of the day it's a minor comment, I suppose, not even rising to the level of 'quibble'. :)
It appears in very small quantities in nature (raspberries apparently being the highest). What was the amount in the study (I don't have access)? I credit xylitol for much improved mouth health, but I maybe take 5g a day.
True currently, but laser form factors are shrinking quickly. Reminds me of this article from a couple months ago where a team built (among a host of other sizes/use cases) a 20W(!) laser using a 500um PCSEL which they describe, mounted, as "roughly the size of a webcam". Their lasers are also at comparable wavelengths

https://spectrum.ieee.org/pcsel
The PIN is the important part there, encrypted sessions (and/or EK cert verification) without PIN are not much more then obfuscation, and defeated by both the interposer attack, and the tweezer attack. (Or the TPM hack to rule them all, e.g. desoldering the chip and connecting it to a microcontroller you control)

I supposse a PIN is a slight improvement over a regular password, but a big appeal of TPM FDE in my opinion is unattended unlock.

I think discrete TPMs don't really have a future in systems that need robust system state attestation (both local and remote) against attackers with physical access. TPMs should be integrated into the CPU/SoC to defend against such attacks.
Yeah, there are clearly other problems with the Canadian market. Didn’t mean to imply there weren’t!

Housing stock I really do think is down to regulation - it’s crazy hard to build here in Vancouver, even right near mass transit stations.

Should we have increased the ability to compete in housing and groceries before the influx of immigrants? Maybe. But I don’t think having them here makes these issues harder to address, and it might increase the pressure to actually take action. Every party is talking about cost of living now.
Yeah, it's a great key! I remap mine to cmd for macos, but in the windows days, it was really handy. Windows in general had much better keyboard support than macos.
Adorno is someone who frequently mistook his personal preferences for universal truths, but he is a very smart and observant person who is worth engaging with seriously.

> On the whole I believe that the very act of performing music on television entails a certain displacement that is detrimental to musical concentration and the meaningful experience of music.

I think this is largely correct, and I'd go further -- that even concert settings can be detrimental to the meaningful experience of music. Forget classical or pop music or jazz or whatever other style of music Adorno thought everyone should listen to. It's a frequent complaint of dance music enthusiasts and just music fans in general that crowds focus to much on looking at what the DJ is doing or taking pictures with their phone instead of _dancing_ and living in the moment. I mean everyone is free to take what enjoyment they want out of whatever experience they want, but I do think that music is primarily meant to be enjoyed through listening and (often) dancing, and anything that distracts from that makes the experience less about music as music and more about something else -- music as a mere soundtrack for spectacle or celebrity or whatever rather than something to be enjoyed on its own terms.
DirectX 12 only gets interesting when you want hardware raytracing support to make use of the new Nvidia cards on windows. Tbf that is pretty cool, which is why I actually dabbled with it a little. But it's not necessary for the vast, vast majority of graphics applications.
I am curious to know if the zero day exploit happens when you click on a DM or if it requires you to click on a link in the DM?
> The Times reports that Humane had received around 10,000 orders for the AI Pin as of early April, significantly behind the 100,000 units it was aiming to sell this year.

10K units sold for the AI Pin. And somehow THIS is worth $1BN?

Humane is absolutely no where close of being worth $1BN with sales like that. This valuation is extremely inflated and I don't care about the ex-FAANG team members.

At this point they should be acqui-hired at a 52% discount. If no acqui-hire then Humane should be worth less than $1M at most and the valuation should be written off 99% down.

I think we might have found the Theranos of AI.

Yes, I'm aware of that distinction. However I read the comment I was replying to so that they suggested the antitrust case is unfounded because Nvidia didn't break any laws. It's precisely why the antitrust case is valid/needed, because if Nvidia were breaking any laws, you wouldn't need antitrust, you'd just take them to court.
That's how it started, but there was a specific moment where it suddenly cracked. Further deposition and debris may have obscured that crack later.

I'm curious, what kind of features that are not found on Linux ?
This makes me more and more hopeless. It's pretty much guaranteed that total surveillance by governments and private companies will come in the next decades. We'll also have police robots. Authoritarian governments will be super happy having these capabilities and probably be able to to survive much longer since they will be able to detect and monitor any kind of resistance early on.
> Loblaws' stock price going up implies that their profits are better, which implies that their margins are better,

This is not correct. Government policy of continuously purchasing power of currency dictates nominal profits and stock price should go up even if profit margins do not.
I hope they have footage from ships. It would be great to see actual videos of the soft landings.

One dumb question I have: There was no payload, and yet starship used essentially all of its fuel to achieve this trajectory. How does this compute?

Looking past the cost, it also used to be a huge hassle. If I wanted to know what you were doing, I'd have to hire 6 guys sure, but I'd also need to manage them. Plan out their shifts, handle payroll, and their internal disputes. The practical reality of surveillance meant it HAD to be a conspiracy. The risk of someone talking was huge.

Now it's easily hidden. Somebody can monitor you just by accessing information systems without the people collecting the data even knowing. You can now do the surveillance alone, no pesky accomplices needed.
Or about 2e17 hogsheads
In what dream world is this true? Certainly not reality. Heck, the AI "vision" most taxis I take that show a machine view of reality -- Tesla, Toyota, etc. -- consistently mistake random objects for cars, a rock for a cat, and reflective water surfaces at early day for potential hazards, to name a few fun ones. Oh and a slightly large car was once a semi truck.

Mistaking a flashlight for a gun is almost a given.
Unfortunately encrypted sessions without an interactively provided secret like a PIN are no defence against attacker with physical access.

You either need an interactively provided PIN, or a TPM integrated into the CPU/SoC to be secure in such a scenario.
Depends on what you're doing. If you're running conferencing, there's no data to migrate, so it should be possible to move to somewhere with reasonable bandwidth costs and save money easily, if it's just vms.

If you're doing media sharing, maybe don't migrate data all at once, but upload new stuff to the new place, and at some point move downloads of old stuff on demand: users make request to new place, new place fetches from old place, saves and sends to user --- you were going to pay that egress to users anyway and now you won't have to pay it again.

If you've amassed a giant database that would otherwise never leave, then yeah, that's going to be expensive to move... But maybe you can get a free egress to leave offer?

Note that I think Hetzner includes 'unlimited' egress on dedicated machines, not on cloud vms; but their per TB prices are much more reasonable than big cloud's per GB prices.
You should check out a company called Loyal — they’re making lifespan increasing drugs for dogs of all sizes!
Yes, that is correct - they need the header tanks to make sure that fuel is immediately available, not sloshing around the main tanks as the ship flips. Rockets really don't like sucking in vapour. I'm not sure if they're pressurized separately from the main tanks though - I would assume not, as that would be more complicated, but I could be completely wrong.

I might not like two people screaming at each other in public, but me calling the police says a lot more about my over sensitivity and lack of understanding / exposure to life, than whether there is something needing police intervention in public.

I could write a very long blog post showing how over sensitivity in society has become toxic to well being and trust.

The microbiome is significant. Could it not also be olfactory?
Controlling population growth is mostly a red herring. In most countries births have already peaked. We can be quite sure that the total population will peak also quite soon. Also, any action taken would require many decades to show any difference. Climate change requires decisive action effective within the next 20 years.

But more importantly: the creation of CO2-Emissions is very unevenly distributed. Even if there were only 1 billion humans on the planet, if they emitted as much carbon as the average US citizen, climate change would still be an issue. So the one action to take is carbon-neutrality. Fortunately, we have all the necessary technologies, we need to strongly push for their global rollout.
They didn't load when I first viewed the article, probably because the site fell over as was reported elsewhere.
Well, every time this line of thinking comes up, I don't believe there is a gofundme, indiegogo, patreon, etc to which I could donate. Because I for sure think that would be a good investment for future generations, but you are correct that I almost certainly couldn't convince my employer to spend the money. I'd guess that's partially because they don't directly benefit from qemu, setting aside the daily use of buildkit which for sure does. Come to think of it, I'd guess Docker(Mirantis?) is BY FAR the most "you really, really should be a corporate sponsor" of qemu
The thing I'm most interested in doing when starting a new project is pretty much never to spend a few weeks and writing 10-20k LOC to get a triangle on the screen, I think I'll stick with OpenGL for the time being tbh
Fight fire with fire. Those of us who oppose mechanical oppression will do everything we can to set your dogs against you.

"The Age of Drone Police" is not acceptable, at all. Red line, for complete destabilization. The fact people on this forum seem to be nonchalant over this only shows how detached from reality everyone is becoming, mostly due to massive waves of propaganda and political bullshit creating a never ending stream of "us versus them".

When clearly the US are those subject to drone police actions, while the THEM are foreigners and the 1% who somehow get to dictate the lives we all live without physical consequence or fear.

Anyone who thinks this is just "business as usual" or the never ending procession of progress is truly lost to the world of safety and possessions.
The IBM PC in particular was probably never especially significant to IBM as a whole whatever its effect on the computer industry generally.

As someone who had IBM as a client for a number of years, we observed that there seemed to be a lot of IBM folks who basically ended up in some Siberia in one form or another.

Private company RSU’s are a different ballgame entirely. They are essentially paper money and I would classify them under startups.

Yeah I’d agree for a more risky venture, cash is better (unless you are in a gambling mood), I’d disagree that being true for FAANG or any of the 100 billion + tech companies (Airbnb, Uber, snowflake, Palo Alto networks etc)
> Google has had pretty serious privacy guards in place, where if you don't want Google to collect info on you (for advertising), they won't.

How do we know this? They may claim this, however their incentives as an advertising company would provide strong pressure against this.
IF it can be used for its intended purpose - reduce unnecessary police contact, give more information to officers so they understand the situation and don't panic from bad information and come in guns blazing - it's a good idea. However, since police organizations in this country have shockingly little oversight, of course this will be used in nefarious ways, thus it is a bad idea.
>> His divisional heads always had the same answer. Microcomputers—home computing—were a fad. They were low-cost and low-profit. Let others scrabble around in the metaphorical dirt of home computing. The real money was in the markets that IBM’s divisions already dominated—selling vast mainframes and minicomputer systems to large businesses. Cary was even told to buy Atari, which by then had established itself as America’s home video game system of choice. That’s all home computers were good for: gaming.

This attitude was so short sighted. A friend of mines dad was using their Apple II for work-related spreadsheets and thought it was the greatest this ever. Not sure how IBM folks could not see this opportunity just because it was smaller scale than "what they did". 20 years later Intel seemed to have missed the mobile market due to a similar attitude.

I used to know a guy who had an impressive physique and foreign accent and was hired for similar "communication jobs" (debt collection). It was all above board so he didn't carry any weapons and didn't do anything but the mere implication in his presence was often enough to motivate debtors to find ways to pay shortly after his visits. He was actually a nice guy and not much of a fighter.
This is really neat! Thanks for sharing. I wonder if there's an analogue for these routes and the roadway system there? I imagine so. I thought it was interesting how short Via Appia was. Learning Latin growing up, I imagined that to be much longer.

Anecdotally, I knew someone who had been at the company 17 years, I had only just joined, was my boss in the software engineering space, and the VP had me report directly to him so that my salary wouldn't be visible.

I later found out when I was leaving I made ~55% more than this person.

Also of note, 50% more of someone's salary is less than 50% of your own. If you make 200k and someone makes 100k, they need a 100% raise.
Only a matter of time before a police drone falls out of the sky and injures or kills someone. If they need intel, why not use a tiny drone deployed on the scene by the responding officer? Seems less intrusive, cheaper, and safer.

What we have today in the field of drug development, and we have had this for many years now, is the development of cost-inefficient late-stage treatments that maximize revenue exploitation, but often don't even work. Instead, what we need is early-stage and preventative diagnostic measures, and cheap scalable generic small molecules or vaccines, coupled with lifestyle and environmental changes, that together reverse or treat the condition when it's still reversible or treatable. We will not get this from the FDA because it's 100% in bed with the scientific mercenaries that like to call themselves scientists. Moreover, I assert that most of the ones downvoting my comments here represent the mercenaries that work in the industry to earn some of this exploitative revenue for themselves, and they don't want the size of the pie to be reduced.

All true. But one should also consider the cyclist's view, which is that once the cars are gone, people walk wherever and however they want, bike lane or not.

That's not to say that "it's their own fault for getting hit", of course.

The proper comparison should be cars there vs no cars there. Once the cars are gone everything changes. No longer do bikes need to swerve around cars. Suddenly there's room for them. So that could reduce the risk of them hitting a pedestrian.

Very often a car can block an entire intersection, because they gambled that they'd get through, but then got stuck. A bike will never block things like that. And I'd wager those cases are much more dangerous for all kinds of accidents. The car may be blocking visibility, so that the cyclist and the pedestrian can no longer see each other.

But my comment was actually not about safety. It was about quality of life. It just happens that it ALSO improves safety.

Well, it wasn't really a drone war as it was totally one-sided, with Azerbaijan dominating with Turkish-made drones.

In Ukraine, you can actually see drones trying to knock each other off kinetically. There is even a video of a Russian drone dropping a net over another one.
In a decision making process, if many parties are involved, it is in interest of all parties to not turn on each other in case of wrong decisions. Just let it slide.
