> the administrative state. The overturn of the bump stock ban is just the beginning

It's not even sort of the beginning. The conservative stance on the role of the Supreme Court has been pretty clear for a long time and this court has been ruling that way for a few years now.

Their theory is that Congress makes the laws, the Executive branch enforces them, and the Judicial branch interprets. The precedent that they've overturned has consistently been in line with this logic: they've said over and over again that if America wants a law then Congress should create it, rather than relying on executive rulemaking that gets overturned every time an administration changes or on unelected judges legislating from the bench.

Whether or not you agree with them on specific issues, I think we can all agree that the current status quo where worker rights take dramatic swings every time a new party takes control of the presidency is a ridiculous situation that needs to be fixed. I want a nation of laws, not a nation of administrative rules that have a 4-year shelf life.
Combine this with low pay and perceived (and probably realistic) low advancement options.

At some point you start thinking about "yeah, that would be great, but I have mortgage to pay off" and the like.
A tool for updating bazel build target dependencies. It inspects build files and source code, then adds/removes dependencies from build targets as needed. It requires using global include paths in C/C++ sources. It is not perfect, but it is pretty nice!
I think optimising for that just leads to another kind of SEO slop. I mostly use the summaries for answers to questions like "what's the atomic number of aluminium". The sensible way of laying this out on a website is as a table or something like that, which requires another click, load, and manual lookup in the table. The summaries are useful for that, and if the websites want to answer that question directly, it means they want to make a bunch of tiny pages with a question like that and the answer, which is not something I want to browse through normally. (And indeed, I have seen SEO slop in this vein)
>How many building frames are you planning to build?

A lot, lumber has all kinds of uses beyond framing as well.

"At this point, it's tempting to dismiss lumber as completely irrelevant to concerns about carbon emissions. But the authors show there are exceptions. In Canada, where timber is a major contributor to the economy, wood products end up sequestering 2.4% of its annual emissions, or over 30% of its industrial emissions. In Sweden, those numbers are 9% of the total emissions and over 70% of industrial emissions. So, when it comes to setting national emissions targets, there are countries where harvesting forests really matters." [0]

Thanks for making my point for me: this is a good thing.

Brave API (Bing is good as well). Here's a little gist (Elixir). It's pretty rudimentary so far and needs refining, but works alright enough (result at bottom): https://gist.github.com/cpursley/b4af2ff3b56c912f659bd5300e4...

The most useful part is probably the prompt and usage of Phi 3 Mini 128K Instruct for web page summarization and Llama 3 for the final summary (of the summaries). I'm parsing out all but minimal content html but might even remove that to keep context length down.
i was recently filming on a reality show and i used recall as an example of why my system is important.

i’ve been building an end to end encrypted system, to secure cross platform interactive collaboration and that broke the threat model.

i can only guarantee security insofar as the host operating system doesn’t bypass my security by taking pictures of your screen every three seconds.

i hate that i’m going to need to lean into that, but for the first time in my approaching twenty years in technology, non technical folks are understanding cybersecurity better because it’s so clearly against their day to day lives, expectations, and interests.
Where did they say it is political? I don't see that mentioned anywhere in the link.

There's nothing political about public health measures (even if some try to argue as such).
> Is there any open source DIY project to relatively cheaply measure the analog performance of USB 3.1 (10Gbit/s) signals?

For this kind of thing (measuring eye diagrams and such, as you mentioned in another comment) you'd need a probe-oscilloscope system with (at minimum) 30 GHz at the probe tip. Realistically you'd want 50 GHz, and more is better. Recall that square waves are composed of odd harmonics of the fundamental (~10 GHz), and the more harmonics you capture the more fidelity you'll have to the original.

I don't think there are any real-time scopes with this much bandwidth, so you will need a (equivalent-time) sampling oscilloscope. Keysight might make one, but it probably costs "call us" dollars.

[Edit: Actually, it looks like the SD-32 sampling head for the Tektronix 11800 series of sampling scopes does claim a bandwidth of 50 GHz. That plugin does not have internal triggering though, so you would need to add a trigger recognizer head and arrange for an external trigger signal. Also, don't buy these used on eBay unless the sell offers returns because the sampling diodes in the frontend are very delicate.]

One additional wrinkle is that super-speed USB uses a differential pair with a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms (each side of the pair is 100 Ohms, and terminated with a 100 Ohm resistor). That means you'll need a differential probe (or two probes and an oscilloscope that can do math).

I don't know of any DIY project with those ambitions, but the most likely route for something DIY is a passive Z0 probe: You want the DUT-probe interface to look like an impedance-matched power divider. That calls for a probe impedance of 10x (or even 100x) the transmission line, so 500 or 5000 Ohms.

Anyway, I don't know of any DIY project that fits your needs, but the terms to search for include "Z0" and "passive".
CloudRun with Django works well, but for a complete setup, you need to configure, manage and pay other services, too, like Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL, Memorystore for Redis, API Gateway, Observability, Cloud Build, Artefact Registry, Cloud Key Management, IAM, Pub/Sub, CDN, and Cloud Storage. When you have a live service, you probably also want to pay for Google Cloud Customer Care. The same is true for AWS and Azure.

Depending on training and experience, it may be easier to setup a GCP than a Kubernetes based solution, but it's still not exactly trivial. And, once a fitting Kubernetes platform is up and running, it's almost trivial to add new services, as the article describes.

I think, even in 2024, and even for a one-person business like the authors', starting with Kubernetes is not a bad decision. I'm currently building my own Kubernetes based platform, but on a less expensive service (Hetzner Cloud). I use a separate single-node Kubernetes "cluster" with Rancher for management, and ArgoCD for continuous deployment from git. Currently I only have a single-node "playground" cluster up and running for my "playground" workloads, to save costs, but I will upgrade this to a proper HA cluster before a service goes live.

Later, I can still upgrade to GCP, or in my case probably Azure. Until then, I don't need to worry about large cloud bills, which is also a good thing.
The fact that you only respond like this anonymously should answer your original question/not-a-question.

from a more practical perspective: No, because you're replacing a well-understood metaphor with something that is unknown, juvenile and stupid, removing the value we get from shared language constructs.
It can maybe be tough to explain what you were doing in those years you were actually working at a well-known heavily unionized business.

It sucks if you have to be allowed to just make up work experience, but the root of the problem is the power imbalance between employers and employees, and well, that's what's unions are trying to address.
High street shops in the UK have been struggling for over a decade, this isn't new.

In the year 2011 sales tax, called VAT, went up to 20%. Shops that sell food for people to eat at home have the advantage that there is no VAT on most of what they sell.

A small online business can be under the £85000 VAT threshold so they don't collect 20% tax, giving them an advantage.

Property prices are huge so landlords want to charge shops high rent to get a return on investment.

Local councils charge high taxes on High street shops.

Commercial electricity is expensive and shops have the lights on all day.

Shops that are not doing well are paying staff to stand around so their staff cost may be higher than online sellers that have just enough people to run a warehouse.

The linked article is specifically about the town of Erith.

Erith is under the control of money-grabbing socialist Mayor Sadiq Kahn.

Both shops in Erith and people who live in Erith pay a large yearly tax to the Mayor. The shoppers have less money, the shops have higher expenses.

Erith is inside the ULEZ zone. It is about two and a half miles from the edge.

Some people who live just outside ULEZ are discouraged from going shopping in Erith because the Mayor will charge them money to drive there in their cars. A significant percentage of people who live close enough to go shopping in Erith are encouraged to go elsewhere.

Heavy Good Vehicles that deliver to shops in the ULEZ zone have to get a safety permit and pay very expensive ULEZ charges.
On audio work stations, swapping can lead to an interruption of the audio stream, which can manifest itself as garbled sound up until some very loud noise, not unlike an explosion in a game, which is potentially damaging to the ear, depending on the listening level. So: limiters on all busses, and swap off. If your samples don't fit in memory, try another route.
I actually didn't know this, when I was that age it was just required for so many interactions one might have with the federal government that it was essentially mandatory, but it was still avoidable to those with significant resources.

When things really kick off with China maybe we'll round up all our young men with press gangs like they're doing in Ukraine now.
Without swap you have two modes of operation: working fine, and not working at all (killed by the OOM killer). With swap, you introduce a third mode: working very slowly. The more modes of operation, the harder to reason about.

I too thought this way and I figured there were probably a lot of engineers who were comfortably well-off and would be happy to relocate and work for free on Voyager.

However, although there would be great emotional satisfaction working on such a unique project (not as great as in it's heyday though), there would not be an equal amount of intellectual satisfaction. Don't get me wrong--the current Voyager engineers are performing amazing intellectual feats. It's just that the project is nursing along the spacecraft in their final few communicating years as the power levels run out. There is probably very little programming done except to work around failing hardware. Non-emergency concerns probably mainly focus on which remaining subsystems to power down and when.

Also, the time frames for operations are really long. I believe some of the current Voyager staff work only part-time on Voyager and younger engineers probably don't want to sit around twiddling their thumbs for a good amount of time while waiting for results. (Neither do older engineers for that matter!) The quote about attracting younger programmers is from Matsumoto's paper; she also gives this account of a 2010 memory problem:

"For example, when the V2 experienced a bit flip in the FDS [computer] in 2010, it took about two weeks to recover enough to receive the engineering data, and another two weeks to receive the science data. It took another four and one-half months to adjust the timing delay caused by the anomaly and resynchronize the CCS and FDS clocks. Realigning the baseline events to the regular schedule had to be delayed even longer due to other activities competing for the resources."

https://arc.aiaa.org/doi/pdf/10.2514/6.2016-2415 (PDF)

We've seen a similar situation more recently with recovering from the failed FDS memory block. So, although enthusiasm is important for a Voyager programmer, patience is a virtue!

I assume the following is perfectly doable from a technical perspective but is there any community support for using multiple allocators in this case to, eg parse general state to an arena and specific variables you want to use thereafter to a different allocator to remain long lived?
Take in mind that executable code on Linux is mapped in from disk, either from an executable or from a shared library. So every application's performance on Linux is heavily dependent on the disk cache.

If you have no swap, anonymous pages (stacks, heaps) cannot be evicted to disk and the thrashing is forced onto the disk cache. So the hard lock-up occurs earlier.

If you want to delay the lock-up as much as possible, enable swap and set swappiness high.

I prevent to auto kill the biggest memory eaters (which is always chrome/chromium/electron) once the the system actually is well into swapping. Usually it comes back without any killing without me hardly noticing unresponsiveness and otherwise it comes back fast once the chrome has been killed. This way I don’t risk the system OOMing an actual important process (like a compile I am doing) while that will easily and without issues continue after Chrome is not there. Anything important, in my case, is never a non terminal process.
I’ve always disabled swap on my servers. There’s a severe performance penalty when swap is used for a real workload, and that’s far more difficult to diagnose than OOM messages from the kernel. And in every case, swap or not, the resolution is the same. You either get a bigger box, or fix the application.
For sure, this wasn't that hard. But I think that's great; it means anybody can be an EE. That's a core mission of our team. Our team works hard on PCIe 4.0, USB 3.1 Gen 1, and Gigabit ethernet as well. This is just one board that we made and were proud of. Feel free to take a look at our other boards in the documentation website!
Yes, indeed. And I think exactly the same problems are at work in understanding any scenario. We don't turn off our scepticism, or all the various heuristics that keep us alive, just because a mathematician comes along with a powerpoint slide.
A price war breaks out among China's AI-model builders
Why are all the commentaries in the article claiming an information vacuum coming from people in the West. They all claim an information vacuum of some sort around Xi while people with ties to China claim otherwise. Why no comment from anyone from Taiwan. Personally, I have observed that US has been arming Taiwan with so many senior US politicians visiting a supposedly breakaway province of China frequently.
I think that if the Taiwanese declare independence, there will definitely be a war. Whether or not it’s the US who pushes them to it, I don’t think it would matter.
This reads like rage bait. I don't think I've heard anyone use the "title" command as a reason for writing latex ever. What people mention is always the same four things: cross references, citations, figures, and equations; the author is totally dismissive of them in the comments. Everyone knows there is no strong competitor for any of these. Trying to get them to work smoothly in other programs has taken up the same amount of time as writing an entire paper before.
But why do you have swap on with default settings?

Thanks for the math. The parent comment has been slightly edited.

I'd ideally want the CO2 to be the preindustrial level of under 300 ppm. The reason is that I suspect it could lead to maximum alertness and a feeling of well-being.

Note that some ventilation still is needed during the day to get O2 and remove VOCs, so the calculations are affected.

In your calculation, remember to account for the presence of people who constantly breathe out CO2. This and the need for some ventilation add to the cost.
To be kind is one of my specialties. I firmly believe that it's a requirement of any human group so people collaborate at heart. Yes people can be productive anyway without any kindness, but if people really collaborate then they actually multiply their forces and the result is incredibly powerful. If people fight each other that energy is terribly wasted.

They did, and it appears that a coverup was underway[1][2]. I need to note that I am not asserting who was pushing to cover up Horizon's issues, that's a matter for the courts and the Inquiry.

> Mr Jenkins, Fujitsu's former chief IT architect, is currently being investigated by the Metropolitan Police for potential perjury, the BBC understands.

> Mr Jenkins' report and an accompanying memo provide the clearest evidence yet that as early as autumn 2010 the Post Office and Fujitsu, which built the Horizon IT system, were aware of details about the software which could cast doubt on prosecutions, and were keeping them hidden.

> The memo, which summarised a series of meetings about the report, said that if the bug was widely known, it could cause a "loss of confidence in the Horizon system", provide branches with "ammunition to blame Horizon for future discrepancies" and have "potential impact upon ongoing legal cases".

> Mr Jenkins' testimony was also later used in the prosecution of many other sub-postmasters, where details of his report on the bug were again not disclosed.

> Size is a unitless dimension. A category of metrics, if you must.

Just make size a category of dimensions and I'd underwrite that. It certainly doesn't refer to a single dimension.

Mathematically valuation would absolutely be a size/magnitude, but we're clearly not speaking in mathematical terms, given how the terminology is being abused. Mathematically plenty of things that are a magnitude/size do not constitute a metric space, and the singular would be wrong anyways.

I'm taking metric to mean "standard of measurement", which is why size is still not a metric. Saying "size is a category of metrics" would be getting close enough I suppose, but really we're talking about the actual dimensions.

Now that we've got that out of the way, I'm still firmly grouping valuation as a measurement of value, and not a measurement of size. I'm also standing by the assertion that not having these two be disjoint sets only leads to confusion and nonsense.

> OP's word of "bigger" can be applied to population, area, weight, importance, memorability, and yes, valuation.

Nice try. They applied it to "company". You can do that, but now we're not talking about a company's value. We have the adjective valuable for that.
Pretty much everyone during this period was an amateur compared to Amundsen.

Including the previously mentioned Nansen. Nansen was a generation earlier though, and among other things built the ship Amundsen used.

Amundsen made something difficult look easy. Everyone else made the difficult look - difficult. And survived.

Except for Scott who died.

There is an analogy there with software projects by the way, except for maybe the dying part replaced with general failure.
