Fair enough. I haven't used Debian in quite awhile (I think since 2009 or so?), so I can't speak to current stuff, but I do remember it being pretty hard to install then. I'm sure they have refined it considerably since then, and of course I am fifteen years more experienced now than I was.

Personally it's hard for me to go back after I accepted the dogma of NixOS, but maybe if I manage to talk my parents into using Linux I'll install Debian for them.

Here’s a link for my city. The city is number 1 for trees in the USA, I think Chicago has the least. At first glance it’s not as detailed and a little dated but there are more trees now than ever.

Is a 3D printer closer to a drawing machine or a conventional printer. I think of printers as working on pixels (maybe I’m wrong about this) while drawing machines and 3D printers have lines as their primitives, right? Maybe 3D printers could become drawing machine, haha. 3D to 2D drawing machine project: project on a plane.
For background, there’s a great write up of current approaches at https://spectrum.ieee.org/high-na-euv
Fair enough, I see that as the best possible definition.
What part of that calculation is incorrect in your view?

> 380 UDP packets sent from source to recipient during a 1 minute call, and a handful of TCP packets to whatsapp's servers. That would yield a transmission overhead of about 2.2kbps.

That sounds like way too many packets! 380 packets per second, at 40 bytes of overhead per packet, would be almost 120 kbps.

My calculation only assumes just 50, and that’s already at a quite high packet rate.

> you can rely on protocols that have less error correction

You could, but there's no way to get a regular smartphone IP stack running over Wi-Fi or mobile data to actually expose that capability to you. Even just getting the OS's UDP stack (to say nothing of middleboxes) to ignore UDP checksums and let you use those extra four bytes for data can be tricky.

Non-IP protocols, or even just IP or UDP header compression, are completely out of reach for an OTT application. (Networks might transparently do it; I'm pretty sure they'd still charge based on the gross data rate though, and as soon as the traffic leaves their core network, it'll be back to regular RTP over UDP over IP).

What they could do (and I suspect they might already be doing) is to compress RTP headers (or use something other than RTP) and/or pick even lower packet rates.

> I don't think it's unreasonable to assume this could reduce their total audio-sourced bandwidth consumption by a considerable amount while maintaining/improving reliability and perceived "quality".

I definitely don't agree on the latter assertion – packet loss resilience is a huge deal for perceived quality! I'm just a bit more pessimistic on the former, unless they do the other optimizations mentioned above.
Its easier, but it isn't more energy efficient, at least not for winters. Average deltaT is smaller when cooling 35 to 25, compared to heating -10 to 20, say.

A problem in cities is that aircos increase outdoor temps, on top of heat from pavement, cars, etc.
"As your friend, I'm not going to be your friend anymore."
> NVidia's and OpenZFS's compat layer

I think this is more related to GPL licensing than them not wanting to assist. If it's completely generic then maybe, but how do you argue that the closed source Nvidia license or the dubious license for zfs can be linked to the GPL licensed kernel without being invitation of one of those licenses. Specially concidering how vague the GPL is regarding what it even means to be using GPL licensed code.

If I present an API anyone can use and Nvidia happens to target it it's a different ballgame than if I implemented and shim specifically targeted at Nvidia's binary blob. To my knowledge the latter is a violation of GPL should it be the inverse and therefore an explicit exemption would need to be put in place for the shim in the GPL and that is the showstopper.
Earnings reports happen once a quarter between the company and the public. A couple of business days after that, employees (without material nonpublic info) may trade company shares for the next month or so. Maybe you can't sell April shares until mid-July, and then you have to decide whether to wait until next July to minimize tax on gain.

Sometimes you can elect to sell every released share in a quarter, or file a 10b5-1 plan with a schedule, but you have to do that during a trading window.
It is definitely ironic that a company that was fined $100M for defrauding investors by faking performance (creating fake accounts) was itself a victim of fake performance.

If there’s any throughline here, it’s that apparently a lot of what counts as “work” at WF is fake.
Ok how about “Black Maria”?
> Apparently the average American residential electricity use is 10,791 kwh/year, which is ~1,231 watts, whereas the average British home is only 2,700 kwh/year which is ~308 watts. I had no idea that the difference was so large.

They main reason is that US has a higher percentage of all-electric homes. The average medium sized UK home uses 2700 kWh/year of electricity and 11500 kWh/year of gas. See that table in your second link.

What you want to compare is average household energy use excluding transportation. For the UK the numbers in your link give 9400 kWh/year for 1-2 people in a flat or 1-bedroom house, 14200 kWh/year for 2-3 people in a 3-bedroom house, and 21100 kWh/year for 4-5 people in a 5-bedroom house.

I'll leave it to someone else to find out how those are distributed to work out the average for the UK as a whole.

For the US, in 2011 [1], annual usage was 108 MBTU for single family detached houses, 89 MBTU for single family attached houses, and 54 MBTU for multi-family housing. In kWh that's 31700 kWh, 26100 kWh, and 15800 kWh.

I'll leave it for someone else to find the distribution so those can be combined, and to find later data. Almost all searches for household energy US of US households just return electricity usage and the 2011 document was the only thing I found that gave what I was looking for.

I bought an Axidraw a while back (and love it!) but having seen a lot of the homegrown ones I feel like it's a relatively lower-level project assuming you're good with working with steppers and motors.

I've seen wall-sized vertical ones that work with a microcontroller, some threads and a few servers.
No but if they want to expand the platform to more than web apps I think it does.
Take a bike. Might not be 10 minutes, but will be under 30. and cheaper than taking a bus, too.
Yes.

Window management, mouse support, key bindings (I really dislike the defaults for a few of them), selection/copy/paste, macros etc

All stuff that doesn’t need to be configured but if you look at any tmux tutorial you’ll see boat loads of details about. Which can be confusing because how do you know if you don’t need to know it?

Also what’s the basics for one person isn’t going to be the basics for another. Eg I rarely use the detach capabilities these days whereas the panes and windows are something I do use lots.

My point is this: tmux is sufficiently complicated that a complete beginner might not know what features they need to learn.
Main thing that's keeping me right now is copy select with mouse that stays in pane. Tmux would always cross horizontal panes so I'd have to zoom the current pane, alt + mouse select, then unzoom. Zellij I just drag over what I want and release the mouse button. I do however miss using the mouse for pane resizing though.
Mail delivery doesn't seem to be working, or, at the very least, is considerably delayed. I just sent an e-mail to my primary Fastmail-hosted e-mail address from my secondary GMail, and it hasn't shown up despite several minutes having passed.
> Are you talking about the general "we"

I assume the general-ish “we”, where it is general to the likes of you and I (and that zeroxfe). There are likely many in the world stuck at the end of connections run over tech that this “general subset” would consider archaic, and that zeroxfe was implying their connections, while slow, may be similarly stable to ours back then.

Also, a low bandwidth stable connection could be one of many multiplexed through a higher bandwidth stable connection.
This a bigger question than you’ll get an answer to on a forum I fear, but I may be pessimistic. Ultimately this court is somewhat infamous for their recent decisions on standing, especially when striking down Roe.

My expert lawyer friend who’s never been known to just make stuff up, Mr. GPT esq., suggests that the primary culprits would be injured patients, consumer advocacy groups on behalf of injured patients, or competitors alleging unfair approval processes. Otherwise… I mean, theoretically, a priest could bring a suit on the grounds of “the presence of abortion in my country will make god angry with me” and win, with the right judges to hear them out…
One of the features of a totalitarian government is the power to absolutely shape the populace. In China's case, their government planning sessions identify key technologies they think are the future and seek to be the best at, and execute on it. [0]Their tight control of their social media algorithms, combined with the ban on similar western tech in China allows them to minimize the brain rot in their upcoming generations. China is hungry, and America is full at the buffet going back for thirds.

Their manufacturing base allows for much more rapid iteration in related fields than our service based economy can. Combine this with increased military in these key fields they want to "dominate" in [1] spending and you'll see rapid expansion in scientific capability.

Of course there is corruption, world-wide IP theft, and other misaligned incentives there, but with a population 4:1 of the US, it was only a matter of time before the strategy paid off.

It makes sense in the context of the history of unions and legislation regarding them in the US. The overall idea is that both employers and unions are limited in what they can do to each other, and in exchange we have less violence of the sort that happened when companies broke strikes with hired guns like the Pinkertons. Like with many regulations, both sides think they are getting screwed more than the other side.

Is the legal system broken somehow it's a legit issue, or do their legal teams have some sort of PTSD so they're scared of any ideas of lawsuit no matter how frivolous, so they make weirdest business-affecting decisions?

I mean, if the LLM drops some slurs, gives a recipe for bananadine, or even goes all Bender suggesting we kiss its shiny metal ass or it kills all humans - how, in the name of all that's still sane in this world, it's a lawsuit material?

I imagined it's morke likely to be about activists on offense watch, cranking it up to 11 making bad PR (still weird, but people are weird and this sort of stuff happens), than some legal issues.
Another interesting use case for these kinds of ultra-low bitrate voice compression systems are digital radio systems. AMBE+2 and similar common voice codecs used on radio systems sound pretty miserable and don't handle dropped packets nearly as gracefully as compared to these newer codecs.

My online writing and projects mostly serve as introduction funnels to cool people, which later leads to consulting gigs, job offers, etc.

For that purpose I'm really fond of my little tutorial at https://andrew-quinn.me/fzf. It got really big here on HN about a year ago and kind of sold me on the idea that, hey, I'm actually not bad at this writing thing when I want to be.
This isn't always the case, but you're right it's pretty odd to go through with this case on such shaky ground. It's almost surely because they couldn't find anyone better, many of these cases wait until you find the perfect plantiff and it can take a lot of time/money searching.

They would have to be in a very sympathetic court to get the ruling they want given the harm they're trying to demonstrate. It makes no sense that medical procedures should be banned because other doctors might be asked to treat complications. That's how literally every medical intervention works.

I'm not sure why people are downvoting me. Not only did I show Op how to solve the original problem their friends had, but I gave them an Ethics lesson.

Some people look at pearls and turn into swine, just because I didn't tickle their bellies. It's a shame. This idea that unless someone can save face, they have to reject the lesson whole cloth... It's costly to our culture. When someone is right, just update and correct your beliefs, and feel no shame.
LoRAs are fine tuned changes to an existing model, often one that is already mature and well-trained. The process is understood and documented.

OP is referring to early phases of model development using new techniques, where outputs can vary wildly until corrected and evaluated at scale. The process is often adaptive, iterative, and by nature experimental. Text in this case is indeed easier to evaluate.

Based on my experience in academia in my country, and from what I read about academia worldwide, I'd say it was indeed very likely bought from ordinary store, since it's not a department dealing specifically with food (thus having convenient access to samples). Often a group of researchers just looks for a random important-sounding subject to apply whatever methods they are familiar with and don't think much about the domain they're getting into. Sometimes the result turns out interesting, more often they publish it wherever they can and move on.
If you open the hamburger menu and go to "more maps", you can click an info button next to the tree marker, which shows a popup with the word "Stadtbäume" (city trees) which links to here: https://www.stadt-zuerich.ch/ted/de/index/gsz/natur-erleben/...

That page clarifies that these trees are indeed just the trees on public land, which are maintained by the city. Trees in private areas aren't included.
Yeah the 5th Circuit was giving standing on hypothetical issues.

However since states were allowed to join the case in district court, they may raise the issue again and be judged to have standing.
But that isn't the goal. Keeping the computer from going to lock screen is.
The author lists historic examples as counters to envisioned idyllic childhoods (ex:kids working dangerous jobs). I think his examples run into a few issues.

1) His strongest examples of child death causes are highly local.

ex: Labor caused deaths. The opportunities for kids to work new, dangerous jobs are local to that region. They're also local to many other regions but the driver is corporations that are headquartered in that region. Going back decade by decade, those corporate presences are less and less.

ex: Health caused deaths. What we know of historical child death rates comes times/places when human population is the densest (when records are better). Groups outside of this metric include per-European indigenous people - people who's death rate skyrocketed when Europeans appear in their lives. To be fair, I can't find data on child deaths for per-discovered indigenous people. But absent two massive drivers of disease death, lower death rates seem like a thing that would be.

2) The authors comparisons are super limited. The structure of child development has taken many 10k years to socially evolve and it encompasses much of Earth's landmass. His arguments concentrate on the last two centuries of industrial nations. This minuscule sliver doesn't represent ~100% of when and how historical child development happened (commonly among paleolithic peoples).

The author's piece isn't poorly written but I think it's value about explaining how things really sucked for kids in some places, 150 years ago. As far as ideal childhood environments go, we need to look outside of the areas he's considering.

What I was trying to say is that the last point

>- Nuvia’s derived IP is not transferable without ARM agreement

Binds Nuvia and Nuvia's license, not Qualcomm.

An analogy I can think of is how sometimes luxury brands give gifts or discounts to celebrities for marketing purposes with contract that forbid resales. (eg [0])

In this case the brand can only sue entities it had a specific contract with.

Back to the case at hand I believe that unless Qualcomm license includes a term along the lines of "You cannot buy Arm's IP unless Arm pre-approves it"[1] to hold Qualcomm culpable of this transfer.

To my understanding Arm used this proibition mainly to terminate Nuvia's license

1. The average person being able to code is dangerous as they could "troll" or do unspecified harm,

2. So we need to arbitrarily kneecap our own tools, but that's okay because

3. These self-imposed limitations are actually easily bypassed and don't work anyways

On 1 I disagree outright, but even if I agreed, 2 is a silly solution, and even if it wasn't, 3 invalidates it anyways because if the limitations are so easily broken then fundamentally they may as well not exist, especially to the malicious users in 1. Am I misunderstanding?

If you are just using the RISC-V core alongside cores you've developed yourself or have licenses for, you're set. RISC-V ISA is provided. It has a very permissive, royalty-free license but you will need to become a paid member to use their trademark. I suppose they could change their license model at some point and attempt to revoke existing licenses but that would be suicide for them. Just like with all standards, there is always an IP holder but it's all a matter of how that IP is licensed out to users and the association that user can display with the IP holder. For example, you can sell a device with a Raspberry Pi inside but you can't use the HDMI trademark on your marketing materials without being a member of the HDMI Foundation.
