Waiting on the middle of the intersection sounds perfectly normal to me as a European as well. It's not to save the few seconds of getting there, but to claim your slot on the intersection from cross traffic. And of course you don't speed up till the crosswalk.
I was asked a while back to do a 4–6 hour take-home project. I would have told them where to stick their 4–6 hour project, except it involved writing a Flask server, and I wanted to learn how to write a Flask server.

The problem is that certification takes SO LONG and they're not allowed to change the firmware while it's being certified or afterwards. What this means that FIPS certification is an indication of an inherently insecure device.

It literally means it hasn't been receiving regular security patches/updates!
Don't forget desperate, because people with options would likely skip.

i'm curious what kinds of applications you've found fram most useful for. it seems like a really cool technology, but the price point is so high that i struggle to understand when you'd use it rather than a combination of sram (or psram) and nand
Look my comment was just a place holder for that brigade, I was just trying to keep it isolated to this comment so it doesn't plague the rest of the article. I genuinely find other MCUs very interesting and love reading about them and exploring them. However I do this Espressif has earned the fans and following they have.

I've had the liberty of working with older platforms like the PIC32, and while I agree that every MCU has it's own use case, the developer community Microchip has no comparison to Espressifs. I will admit that I may be comparing apples to oranges.
> I've read enough things that suggest a "blockade" is much more likely than an "invasion"

If China blockades Taiwan, the US has time to bring in naval assets, land-based assets, and everything else from all over the world.

If China invades and wins in a week, any American assets that are close enough to defend Taiwan risk defeat in detail. What can the US do? What can one aircraft carrier do against 7 wolf packs of 7 subs each, all of which are expendable?
A comment when an upvote would do - this is the kind of small act of generosity that I wish to acknowledge and praise in prose - thank you for taking the couple of minutes to do this. I've been feeling a little bleak about the internet lately as the SNR plummets in the tidal wave of AI seo search results, AI comments, etc. Thank you for taking the trouble. I went to EMFCamp in the UK a couple of weeks ago and had a similar resurgence in enthusiasm about simple things like asking a question of someone and getting an above-and-beyond, going-out-of-their-way response to share their enthusiasm and knowledge about something with you. We must defend these pockets of human interaction. [brought to you after a boozy work lunch but the sentiment is genuine].
Pure negligence, monitoring for stall current is practically free with modern motor controller chips.
iPhone security is very good, better than, say, your desktop even though you don't carry your desktop everywhere you go. (Some Android security is also very good, depends on the hardware though.)
Correct, the resin is not part of the chip.

It controls the phase of the light as well as the intensity, which is novel compared to a galvo. The paper suggested holographic curing, which sounds like a joke but it seems is a real thing where they use three photons to cure and controlling phase lets them do that somehow. But it's only kind of mentioned offhand, so I'm not sure how serious they are about it.

> The partial collapse of a roadway in Wyoming as a result of a landslide that occurred over the weekend raises serious questions about the state of the nation’s infrastructure...

What the ???

Maybe this journalist should talk to a competent geologist or two? Landslides have been a regular thing for a billion or so years. So trying to hang some grand "our nation's infrastructure is fragile!" thesis off one photogenic little slip in Wyoming is about like trying to conclude that American Youth are In Peril from my great grand-niece's most recent poopy diaper.
Yeah, arguably even worst.

> Do you have the same expectations for any company launching hardware that they cite the various papers related to how the tech was developed?

If they try to market it with a seemingly unique or yet-unheard of name, then yeah. It is nice knowing what the "real world" name of an Apple-ized technology is.

Just ignoring it and marketing the technology under some new name is adjacent to lying to your audience through omission.

Not OP, but I get this message too. I'm using a modern Firefox (Firefox has supported service workers since 2016) so browser version isn't an issue.

I don't know much about service workers. But, after some searching I found out they apparently aren't supported in private / incognito mode.

I do 95%+ of my browsing in incognito mode, so this makes a lot of sense.
Reasonably scoped is probably the tough part. There are a lot of things where you know the other person who is really banking on this job is going to spend days on.

That said, when I was a tech industry analyst, a writing sample--maybe a presentation--on a topic (probably of your choice) wasn't really a negotiable requirement and if you couldn't just pull one out of a folder that you could share, you were probably going to have to spend a bunch of time creating.

> Is it in the CCS protocol?

Yup [1]. It was an early proposal before CCS was ratified and has been there since the start.

> My understanding was that the F150 used a custom extension in order to do its thing where it will power your house. And even they don't feed back into the grid, which would require synchronizing the A/C.

Both the F150 and CT have onboard DC->AC inverters. This, IMO, is a bad move. It makes way more sense for the inverter to be a part of the house. However, the onboard inverter does make it easier to integrate with generator switches in panels.

If I were to guess, the reason we've not seen a charger/generator combo has more to do with the complexity of battery voltage platforms. Unfortunately, CCS does not specify pack voltage which means any inverter would need to handle anywhere from 600->900V from the car.

You've had it, or you are going by the written description?

I only tried it once, but it's the only cheese I've been unable to eat. Sawdust soaked in cat piss would be comparable but preferable. I was exited to buy it and brought it along for a hiking lunch. My wife and I both took one bite, and then decided to bury it under a rock. I felt sorry for the rock.

I still do wonder whether I somehow got a bad batch, or one that was spoiled.

Sounds like a fancy handwavey excuse for organizational blindness.

If I showed up for work in a top hat, gold watch and a lovely lavender evening gown under a piss soaked parka while wearing clown shoes, I would be asked politely but firmly to go home and come back in a presentable fashion for my job.

The "Do you think $foo is overhyped?" type questions seem like passive-aggressive complaining to me. Same with "Do you think $this_community talks about $thing too much?"

Perhaps I misinterpreted your intent. It might have been helpful to provide more context upfront to better understand your perspective.

My assumption there was that each new major tech landmark comes with the same question (eg. virtualization, social media, crypto, generative AI, and the Internet itself). I couldn't figure out a way to word it without sounding saucy.

I don't see the usefulness of the question when it's the sort of technology that's going to move forward and evolve, regardless of what anyone things. I suppose we can steer it with questions to some extent, but the questions should feel constructive.

Let's try again:

1. What are your thoughts on AI agents?

2. Have you seen or gotten access to the new OpenAI voice conversations beta? If so, how does this change your perspective? It changed mine considerably.

I share the same feeling. Give me a reasonable take-home where I can flex my knowledge on some real-world stuff.

Some people I've worked with in the past scoff at this idea. When I ask them how they would prefer I evaluate technical ability they seem to all meander around the question basically saying you know a good hire when you see one.

It's tough to hire good people. I've been in the hiring process for Stanford graduates who could barely code in their take-home. I've also hired candidates who freshly changed their careers later in life and wowed us with their take-home. The 4 hour take-home for us has been wildly helpful in identifying the best hires, but I do get it can feel like a burden to some.

I just don't think I could really trust the outcome of leetcode. To me, I feel like anyone can grind leetcode for a couple months and ace a test on it. Does that mean they can create anything of value? Not really.
The last time I tried to contribute to Wikipedia I spent more than an hour crafting an initial article about Makoto Matsumoto, inventor of the popular Mersenne Twister PRNG, mostly using sources from the sister article on the Japanese wiki.

Within moments, the article was deleted by a veteran editor who didn't consider the subject sufficiently notable. (This was apparently not an issue for the much smaller German, French and Japanese wikis.) My page was 1 of 5 pages he had deleted in the span of 15 minutes, which shows how much effort he personally spent on the decision to negate other contributor's work.

Needless to say, I doubt I will ever try to contribute to Wikipedia again.
The vehicle was cleared for use on public roads by authorities. Perhaps the laws should change so that such cars are no longer allowed.
Making fun of my side project.

An interviewer looked at me with this vicious, incredulous look when I described my side project in ~2019, which was a weather network built on the sensors inside phones. Guy said, “a weather app, really?! You think that’s a good use of your time in 2019? What makes you think a weather app is useful to make today?”

MFer, it was a good idea in 2011 and it’s a good idea today and it’ll be a good idea in 10 years.

And it wasn’t just a weather app omg! But he didn’t care, just kept pressing me for like 5 mins why I would ever think making a weather network service was useful. No amount of explaining the complexity or novel recently-developed techniques that made it possible would convince him I wasn’t wasting my time.
Just "quantization" is poor wording for that. Quantization means dropping the low bits.

Sounds like it was confused with "vector quantization" which does involve lookup tables (codebooks). But "palletization" is fine too.
Better late than never. I think OnePlus and Samsung had this feature since like 2018 or so.

And before anyone says it's a pointless feature that nobody will ever use, this feature saved my bacon when my new laptop suddenly died and I had some urgent work to do. I just plugged in my OnePlus to the same USB-C dock cable my now dead laptop used, and hey presto, I got a 4k display output with multi tasking and tiling window support, charging, keyboard and mouse support and a desktop-like experience to do my work. And it was full 4K@60Hz, not some gimped low-res output for showing a photo slideshow.

It's not exactly a proper Linux/Windows desktop UI despite the keyboard and mouse support, but more of an desktop iPadOS style UI with large touch targets, but in case of emergency it's better than nothing if you don't have a backup laptop. I heard Samsung's DEX is even better.

I actually had no idea my 2019 OnePlus even had this feature but I discovered it by accident in a meeting at work when I was low on juice and I plugged in my phone to the USB-C dock cable on the meeting room table and immediately the screen of my phone got projected to the TV and it just blew my mind (and everyone else's in the meeting).

They should really market this feature better. To me it's a pretty big selling point VS iPhones. Being able to turn your phone into a desktop PC with the same cheapo USB-C dock your laptop uses can come in very handy, yet almost nobody knows about it despite many Android users already having it on their phones.
DEI everywhere.
>t's important to remember, though, that semi-trucks get 5-8 miles to the gallon due to their weight/purpose. Perhaps these new fuel taxes should only affect classes other than A, B, and C to avoid knock-on effects.

What's interesting here is that semi-trucks cause exponentially more wear and tear on the roads than consumer vehicles, while not paying the corresponding fuel tax — they're being subsidized by everyday drivers.

Also the knock on effects may not be completely negative, it could mean that it isn't economical to drive a truck door-to-door filled with low value merchandise (And give retail a fighting chance).
If it's not eink and it's not smaller than other small-ish phones then I don't really see the point of using this besides skinning an existing phone and just not installing apps you don't need.

Get an iphone mini, don't install any apps, turn on greyscale mode. There you have a cheaper version of this, and if you have any apps that you actually need for identification or banks or similar you can actually still use them without needing a second phone.
Tangent: I love Swift's new typed throws! One frustration with Python is you can't--just by looking at function signature--tell that it raises exceptions. With Swift (and afaik, Java) you would write it in the function definition, but still, you wouldn't know what _type_ of exception to handle. Now that problem is solved!

More generally though, I wish we could avoid having exceptions to begin with. What's the reason behind their prevalence in almost every language?
This is why we need real ownership and control of data about ourselves. It should be totally unacceptable for a bank to pull what OP described. Banks and loan underwriters should not have access to this kind of data about us in the first place, let alone use it to discriminate for/against people. Insurance companies should not have access to this kind of data either. We should be able to control access to these data and companies should not be allowed to discriminate based on whether or not they can obtain consent to access it.

>- Digging holes and covering them again does not produce wealth or material well-being. Work in the service industry is nothing like that.

And having a person flipping burgers even though there's a machine that can do it does "produce wealth or material well-being"?

>- At no point I said that the only alternative is to keep people employed sub-optimally. If automation does indeed produce more wealth and if the people that are out of the job can pursue better opportunities, then sure let's use it. But it should also be taxed. If we really are aiming for a society that is so automated that will rob the opportunities for the large majority of people to have meaningful work and a living wage, then at the very least some of this wealth needs to be distributed to everyone.

How do you decide what should be taxed or not? Should any sort of labor saving device be taxed? Before industrialization 80-90% of people worked in agriculture. Now it's in the single digits. You can therefore plausibly make the case that agriculture "rob[bed] the opportunities for the large majority of people". Should we be taxing tractors as well? Or are burger flipping robots somehow different?

I had a recruiter trying to convince me to take an offer lower than my current salary, telling me it’s not all about the money.

I hadn't thought about it quite in this way before, but a lot of this rings true here. My belief on whether or not to give Musk his pay package is certainly biased, as my opinion of the man himself has steadily declined over the years.

Matt Levine of "Money Stuff" often talks about Musk's attention as being a sort of commodity. While Musk's various companies are very different, they share enough commonalities that if Musk wants to do a certain thing, he can usually select between two or more of his companies to do it. So directing Musk's attention to certain of his companies can have a big effect on what projects those companies get to tackle, and what funding they get to do it.

The AI thing is a good example, and Musk threatening to take his attention away from Tesla to do AI elsewhere (if he doesn't get his pay package), and then going ahead and raising funding to do that AI stuff over at xAI... yeah, I think that's a great argument to vote no on the pay package.
