The wisdom of the crowd can be substantial in supply chain. That is to say, for non-trivial projects, selecting any kind of component which may not be immediately available in arbitrary quantities represents a huge project risk. The numbers currently available in China show that the chips' position in the market is too early days / small volume to be considered a viable development target given the fact that the world center of electronics production is yet to see enough aggregate demand to stock more than a handful.

Now if you want to develop against a chip on a 10 year outlook, go for it. But if you want to get work done this week, or this month, or even this year, I'd argue that the distribution is too premature to make that a smart decision.
They indeed started streaming through Starlink on the third (previous) test flight.
The line is long enough for the curvature of the earth, and the subsequent distortion in the map projection, to be relevant. Notice that they're closer to a straight line on Mercator than to the geodesic: that means if you were to use purely local referencing to align the sites, they wouldn't end up where they are. You only get them to line up when you distort the natural geography with a projection of some sort, so if you want to make an argument that they were intentionally built on a line, you also have to account for the systematic deviation from the geodesic. And that prompts the question of whether that's remotely feasible given what we know of the history of cartography.

What I'd want to know is how old the story of St Michael's Sword actually is. Not the churches, but what's the earliest reference to them being in a line. My bet is that it's well after Mercator, and probably safely after the 18th century, when chunks of Europe got geodetic surveys done.

CodeYam Introduction: A Software Simulator
My team and I have been working on a software simulator. It deconstructs software projects, creating simulations of all components (front-end and back-end) in isolation and in context, so you can easily see, test, and share any area of an application or the application as a whole. The blog post has more details.

It's starting to work pretty well and we're looking for people who might be interested in trying it out. Would also love to hear any feedback or questions people have about the concept.

I understand what you're saying, but I think that descriptor is very misleading in this context. The original post was discussing a very large uptick in absolute numbers and the subsequent increased demand on resources that would entail. Your response about a very small subset of those numbers just isn't very relevant if you're only talking about 5% of that increase.
People don't have the physical or mental ability to live alone. Their version of "alone" is a world where there are institutions that exist to protect their property, guarantee their transactions, and where they are supplied with a massive amount of high-quality manufactured goods. Paying for them doesn't make you somehow independent of society, it's the nature of society. You're trading bits of paper with government promises printed on them.
On top of that there's now another issue[1]:

I used i3 for a few years when my main dev machine was Linux. I too am frustrated by the macOS builtin WM's shortcomings. Initial feedback on AeroSpace though: it's utter shite.

I started it when I already had my usual number (many) of windows open across my usual number of spaces (lots) on my usual number of displays (3). First it spent 30 seconds trying to give me a seizure, and when it had finished I'm left with a total mess of a layout. Some windows 30px wide. Some windows not-quite-fullscreen. Some windows just randomly floating without any kind of recognisable pattern.

Now I can't navigate around because dragging a window sends it flying off to the corner of a different display. None of the default keybindings seem to do what they say they should. The focussed window disappeared entirely when I tried resize mode, and I can't find the way out of it because that was the window with the instructions.

I think I'll try something else.
Julia supports Complex numbers as a built-in type.
One of the very weirdest things about this article is that it takes absolutely no account of how many people were alive. It is couched entirely in averages.

In fact, the author is so serious about this that he can write "it doesn’t seem that any of the deadliest events in recorded history had a transformative negative impact". This includes the Black Death which he thinks killed 10% of all humans! Killing 10% of humans is a transformative negative impact.

You must at least have an opinion of whether and when human life is better or worse than death. It matters whether there are 10 million people on earth or 10 billion!

If you think only in averages, then anything before the end of the Malthusian regime is going to have only a short-run impact on welfare: any increase in GDP per capita gets dissipated by the resulting population growth.

Not thinking in averages would make the flat line before the Industrial Revolution a lot less flat (though the IR would still show a big hockey stick). The human population 12000 years ago was about 4 million. Around 0 AD it was 200 million.[1]

This weirdness is almost invisible to people because they have been trained so hard to think in averages. The same mistake is made by people who argue that the coming of agriculture was a disaster. (People got shorter and less healthy! Sure, but one reason for that is there are many, many more people. Again, if you think they would have been better off dead, then fine, but at least make the argument.) I blame Rawls and Harsanyi.

Somewhat on subject: does anybody feel like the macos-style application menu that is disconnected from the application window has outlived its welcome? I feel like apple gets so much right from a UX perspective, but in a world of multi-monitor setups and common cross application workflows, I find it absolutely bizarre that I might have to scroll across 2+ monitors to get to a dropdown menu for an application that I'm using, and sometimes still get to a dropdown menu for the wrong application.
Olfactory in what way? I think toxins could definitely get in by breathing it in, e.g. like mold, which is a generally underestimated, but in my opinion significant source of complex chronic conditions. So for sure those are possibilities too.

I suspect alzheimers (which is a subset of dementia), is a cluster of diseases similar to cancer. I think a large subset is due to candida, but I wouldn't be surprised if mold and other environmental toxins cause other subsets.

A 0.5B parameter model with a 32k context length that also makes good use of that full window?! That's very interesting.

The academic benchmarks on that particular model relative to 1.5B-2B models are what you would expect, but it would make for an excellent base for finetuning/embedding generation.

Another way of saying this is that unacceptable tyranny will roll in on a tread of acceptable compromises.

I'm not convinced you do, as "over-enforcement" is a totally inadequate term for the extant systemic oppression even organic policing imposes. Have you read The End of Policing, yet, or The New Jim Crow, or even watched the documentary 13th?

> the technology in question can save something

Maybe it can, but maybe so can something else. Something less costly, less constricting. You seem to be under the misapprehension that only surveillance can reduce violence. Well, that's one set of social relations, but can you think of any others?

Is it E-Trades (or any brokers?) job to prevent a stock market manipulator from trading or is that the SEC's (or someone else's) job to do.

i.e. why can't E-Trade simply refer it to the govt and have them decide. i.e. "We suspect this person is doing something illegal, but its your job to make that determination and to create the legal structure that allows us to not provide them with a service to continue doing that"?

of course if it was "we know" vs "we suspect/worry" that might be different, but if they are debating if they should cut off or not, I can't believe it "we know".

Its great to have more Vulkan resources but unfortunately this one too suffers from the same problem as every other resource I've found on getting something on the screen with Vulkan.

They all introduce another layer of abstraction on top of Vulkan even before giving you the simple case without it. Its always use vk-bootstrap, volk, vma or someother library.

Is there a single resource anywhere that gives an example of doing the memory management manually because I havent found one, it seems like its either use vma or go figure out the spec are the only choices you are given. Is it too much to ask to just get the most basic example without having to add any libraries other than the Vulkan sdk itself?.

China is full of counterfeits though. I don't actually expect those chips in China to be legitimate. Its public information that these chips are made in Taiwan or other locations, so Chinese supply is pretty equestionable.

I can order 3000+ from Microchip's website right now for any of the AVR Dx series. And Microchip has decades-long reputation of a solid supply chain, even in the 2020 COVID19 period when STM32 got issues.

--------

The older chips are fully obsolete compared to these modern designs. The newer AVR DD is cheaper, faster, loses the Voltage-slowdown issue (1.8V is only qualified for like 4MHz on ATMega328. 1.8V on AVR DD can go full 24MHz), etc. etc.

I don't see any reason why anyone would ever choose the decades-old ATMega328 when AVR DD is right here, cheaper and better in every conceivable way. One exception: if you really need the ATMega328 pinout _exactly_ because you can't change the PCB or update the electronics, I can understand legacy issues. But new projects should pretty much switch to AVR Dx or AVR Ex (depending on your project's needs, since the different chips specialize in different purposes). Ditto for legacy software because ATMega328 peripherals are older. (Modern TimerA and TimerB are much better than ATMega328's legacy Timer0 and Timer1)

The shallower the angle the less energy you lose, but you are still losing altitude.

At some point you lose enough energy that your speed drops enough that your altitude starts dropping significantly. You can't lose the energy without losing altitude, and once you lose altitude you start losing energy whether you like it or not

I think what you are wondering is "can I stay in the thin atmosphere bleeding X Joules of energy for 50 minutes until most of the energy has gone rather than entering more steeply and bleeding 10X Joules for 5 minutes"

However once you lose energy, you lose your altitude, and as you lose altitude the atmosphere thickens and you start very quickly losing 5X, 10X, 20X joules every minute.
I'm a senior dev with about 35 years of experience. I currently spend an average of 3 hours/week in meetings. More if there's a burning issue, less if there isn't really much to discuss. 2 hours of these are regularly scheduled ones, another hour for ad-hoc special purpose ones.

In my opinion, this is about right. I don't consider there to be a "correct" amount of time to be spent on meetings. Meetings should happen when there are things that need discussion. I'm also of the opinion that 99% of the value of most meetings is gained within the first half hour of them.

I personally find 1-on-1s to be entirely worthless time-wasters, but I also know that many people find value in them.

My worst meeting experience was the last time I worked for a major international tech company. I spent about half of my working time in meetings there. It was an enormous waste of everyone's time, and an enormous waste of the company's payroll money.
I would like to know what the limits of your application of this idea is because if I were to extend your argument that "even having to pay rent to another person to have a place to live is a problem.", this is what I get to:

I am currently buying a house, every month I pay money to the bank, this is very similar to having to pay rent. From my understanding of your logic, this would be a problem.

Further from that, I am building a house. I have to make payments to the builder(s) in order to have a place to live. Is this a problem?
So it only applies to your third house? Seems a bit strange.
