You can't use LFP batteries as a direct replacement in your UPS, no. The voltages and charge characteristics are different. What you can do is replace the UPS with a portable battery solution, like another poster suggested. I believe the Anker units are one of the few that can function as a UPS. Most sorta-can, but the key difference most of them lack is that they don't turn on automatically after fully discharging when the mains power comes back on. It's up to you if you need this particular feature.

Will Prowse on youtube I think has some videos comparing and contrasting the different units for this purpose.

Reminds me of my parents... they live close enough to the US border that they just have a US cell phone plan. The plan is $50/mo/line USD and includes unlimited data/calling/text in Canada/US/Mexico. But because they live so close they're not actually roaming most of the time, and they're snow birds so they're in the US half the year anyway. They found the same thing as you... any calls from the same area code as their phone numbers was definitely not for them since it was somewhere very far away and they don't have any business there.

Obviously this is not a clear-cut question (one might even call it a political question, and those are notoriously no clear-cut), but this is hardly a valid defence. Because if you consider it valid, you can go however far you like using this statement as a shield. If you abandon reproducibility as a requirement, you don't have to explain anything you don't want to explain. You don't have to provide any data about your samples, no statistical significance tests. A vague abstract claiming such and such result has been achieved would be enough. Heck, the famous Fermat's margin-note on his private copy of Arithmetica is a totally valid research paper then: after all, we wouldn't want to lose out on the precious gift of information that a particular famous mathematician thought he has a concise and elegant proof of a theorem (even though he probably hadn't)!

FWIW, my own opinion on that political question is that current standards are way to loose. After all, nobody is forced to publish anything. There is a lot of research happening in the world, that is never published anywhere (e.g. because of proprietary value). It will never go away (unless the world reaches some communist-utopia, but even then it will be doubtful for other reasons). But if one works in academia (and, God forbid, receives grants for his work!) and his stated goal is to move world's scientific knowledge further, it's only fair to ask for him to actually follow that goal, and not just simply pretend following that goal in order to move up that twisted ladder of his academic career.
AI and VR are both just getting started.

Exactly, and not just the same area code, the spammers often have the same prefix as my phone number too... so it looks like someone "just around the corner".
Yes, if the "script" is big enough. I use BATS for that.
Reading between the lines slightly, it sounds like this affects TVs running Roku software for inbuilt "smarts" rather than the media players themselves. Still not great, of course.
Wonderfully written, and though I've seen this kind of reshaping of perspective on our human achievements in the modern world before, you've done it exceptionally well here.
Surely it'd be better to make specialised tools instead of a humanoid robot?

Human robots are super complex, and not fully utilised if the object was trimming trees.
If our government can’t protect us from spam calls, how can they can protect us from anything else?
No, I never said any of that. I just find it funny the U.S. government postures like this when they are probably the worst offenders when it comes to violating privacy of people around the world and their own citizens, too.
This is likely safer - an onlooker can easily tell where the operator is looking, and therefore know if they are likely to be seen.
> It makes no sense but my total costs went up

It does make sense if you were scewing around with the temperature values in excess of 2°C, because the HVAC would work harder to reestablish a new steady state. Most houses have thermal mass and heat inertia and sometimes it takes hours to reach a new temperature set point, the HVAC working at full load to do so. It depends on many factors and it's not easy to optimize without logging the temperatures, the operating cycles of the HVAC and understanding the whole process.
Should probably just do a layer of stones under the whole fence... then you'd get that benefit for all of the boards that are close to the ground and not just the posts.

The question is not if there is... Any natural fiber will have some because soil always has metals in various amounts and plants pick it up. The question is how much, in what form, and can those forms leach out or be tranformed (by secretions, microbiome...) in forms that can leach.
As is stated in another comment current technology can almost detect single atoms... And virtually every food item would be positive as well.
I'm in Ontario. 90% of my electricity usage consists of charging my electric car. The ultra-low overnight rate of 2.8 cents per kWh, introduced during the past year, is a big win for EV owners. This rate is seven times cheaper than the cheapest rate mentioned in the article, and ten times cheaper than the peak rate in Ontario. It is very, very easy to schedule your car to charge during overnight hours if you have a home with a garage. You better believe that smart pricing has shifted when I charge my car! I think this kind of benefit will become more pronounced as more people shift to electric vehicles. People won't shift demand for small appliances, but when 90% of your usage is made up of one single thing that is easy to shift, you'll get some returns.
I haven't noticed anything on my TCL with built-in Roku that I use as my computer display. But that's because I have game mode on all the time and I just checked it by disabling game mode and I'm pretty sure at least mine's not affected.

From the article: "[Maybe] Roku is operating with such large numbers these days that every decision is a fly-by-wire corporate abstraction far from the bare metal of the user experience. This means upgrades and features gain unstoppable internal force and the only thing that can stop them is the immovable object of financial results months or years later."

This is the most optimized feedback loop: one without a user. See all the major tech companies for addt'l examples, from AMZN to X.

Distance is irrelevant. I lived there. The cultures of DC and Baltimore are fundamentally different. Related, yes. But not the same.
Not always because it depends on many factors such as demand energy pricing. The house also has heat inertia, meaning it could take hours to reach a ceratin temperature, so you'd have to turn on the AC hours in advance before you arrive home.

> Forced MFA for high-value accounts is a good thing.

No. I agree the MFA is big improvement and I use it for many of my accounts, but I still don't want you forcing me to do something "for my own good".

Make it the default or show me scary warnings, but still give me the option to make my own decision in the end. Sometimes, it's okay for convenience to take precedence over security, and the user is the only one who should make that determination.

Omnipotence just means being able to do whatever power can do. So it is incoherent to ask if God could make a square circle. The words don’t mean anything.

There is, if you desire control of your television.

If you have no problem with Roku et al. pushing updates to your TV, then by all means use integrated software.
A distributed query is something you execute over multiple instances of your DBMS. I actually would disagree with you that this specific issue was an instance of (1). There wasn't anything wrong with the query per se but rather the issue was with where the bulk of the work in the query was being done: move that work to the right place and the query becomes fast.

When considering performance issues, in my experience it's a mistake not to explicitly consider the network.
How soon can I buy a handheld console with one of these inside, and can it run God of War?
This ain't it
I like the other explanation: Roku is basically an appliance company with no internal culture of culture, so it just never came up and now they're dealing with all this stuff they didn't realize had anything to do with what they sold.

They could be selling video streaming, or video poker. They don't care, as long as they have subscribers.
I said the same thing, until I wanted to connect to my private Jellyfin server.
Having an internet-connected TV running Android is great. With this, I can download and install SmartTube, and then use it to watch YouTube without ads or sponsor segments. I can also install Jellyfin, so I can watch various media served by my PC.
A separate streaming device, or a computer, has the same issues. Unless a TV screen is special here it sounds like this logic won't let me use any streaming services.
Because all of this quickly moph to useless ceremony. Managing a project and doing it are orthogonal. But there’s a relationship between the two that, if managed well, leads to a successfull completion. And that relationship is communication.

At each step of the doing, managing should have feedback so that it’s know how expectations are going. Then decisions are taken that influences further doing. There is no need for all the splitting and grooming.

A project can have a deadline (soft or hard) or not. It can depends on other projects and other projects can depend on it. A project can be planned, cancelled or paused. And their duration can vary. Then you assign the project to a team (can be adhoc). The team then decides how to get it done.
Would love to know how they maintain it, eg replacement parts.
I'd rather my tv get updates than have it end up as part of a botnet. The recent RCE in ssh shows nothing is immune.
Mac, iPad and Home/Wearables all bring in similar revenue. iPhone is the hardware category that dwarfs the rest. Software revenue is roughly equal to Mac/iPad/Wearables combined.
There is also nothing inherently wrong with connecting random Windows machines directly to the Internet.

It’s still not going to work out in a good way over any significant timeframe.
There's limited use cases for LLMs and ML pipelines that are legitimately providing business impact and value beyond marketing. The market will learn that the hard way. Especially as the environmental cost of AI begins to become more apparent you'll likely see a similar social reaction that ultimately bit the Bitcoin hype.

If you're feeling burnt out on it then just don't pay attention. There's very little reason to at this point in time.
>> companies like Huawei that American officials say could be used as a spying tool by the Chinese government

> Remember, spying is ONLY okay when the good guys™ are doing it.

So I take it you're totally OK with an adversary of yours spying on you, then?

Because the law is totally about particular entity avoiding being spied upon by it's adversary. It's not some kind of universal statement on what kind of spying is good and what kind is bad that you're twisting it into. There's no universal there, it's all contextual.
It's a completely natural movement for the operator, that will require almost no practice or training, and also leaves the operator's hands free to operate other controls.

In 2011 solar panel producers were in trouble because China was flooding the market with panels sold below cost, which prompted a new set of tariffs. Those panels were around $1/watt in 2022 dollars. Since then, price per watt has apparently dropped _85%_.

It's an industry that's been driving down prices at an absolutely bonkers rate the entire time it's existed, and any time a company falls behind on that they're immediately in very deep trouble. I think it's basically impossible to make predictions about what an industry like that will be in 8-10 years.
> Would love to know how they maintain it, eg replacement parts.

Total speculation: I'd bet some combination of collector interest keeping parts available and the relative ease of manufacture of such parts using modern techniques.
Sounds like they need immigrants.
if the operator gets sick from the latency, even if they see someone they're more likely to have issues though
I would bet making parts for it is not super hard, and that there is also probably a whole market for those parts from the museum/antique restoration crowd.

https://www.modeltford.com/ claims to sell new and used parts.
Yup. I’ve (US) also talked to a few local ones to just see if they had a couple panels I could buy off them for close to wholesale for a personal project - which if they were actually involved in installation would be trivial - and just got blank stares.

They were clearly just doing lead generation for some other company they had no direct connection with, and didn’t even have any idea who to talk to that could even answer my question.

I had way better luck just looking online and paying shipping, which is absurd given how they were presenting themselves.

So not even as good as a used car salesman on an actual car lot, more like door to door used car salesman.

It seems like your nuclear analogy might have an answer to the question. Take that theory that it could have been possible the nuclear chain reaction ignited the atmosphere.

It seems like the worst-case predictions about AI are at that scale. There is also the possibility that AI causes problems on a much smaller scale. A country’s weapons system goes terribly wrong. A single company’s business goes berserk. Stock trading bot at a large enough bank/fund causes a recession. Stuff like that seems rather likely to happen as systems are adopted before they’re “ready” and before they’re anything close to AGI.
A streaming box can be factory reset or thrown in the trash. If your 65 inch TV doesn't let you roll back an update you have to buy a new TV. Streaming boxes are usually faster and more feature filled than the in built TV stuff as well.

Infinite Jest. It haunts me mostly because of the sheer density of the information in the book, it's impossible, to me so far, to fully process everything in the book. Once I feel like I have a good sense of what was going on, I remember another detail that sends me on another year or two of random daydreams trying to figure it out.

Parts of it also feel like it was written specifically for me. So that doesn't help.
This is one of the things I find frustrating about computers/IT.

A person/artist wants to do a thing; not be near superhumanly technologically literate so as to be able to dodge the many ways of being ripped off while trying to maximise your outcome.

And yet, the modern world becomes more about this technological literacy every day.

So I understand when a musician simply says "Buy the CD here." It's so much easier in many ways.
Locally in Western Australia we're having discussion between residents, council and state power about distributed small shipping container sized batteries, one per 200 homes.

What kinds of properties you have in mind?

For example, a lot of times I might have two implementations, a naive one that's slow and simple, and an optimized one. I can compare the output of both against each other on arbitrary input. That's a simple property that easy to understand, but hard to put in the type system in general.

Similarly, I often have properties that eg the order that input is presented in shouldn't matter, or sometimes you have ways to partition your data 'max(maximum over A, maximum over B)) = maximum(A union B)'. How do you encode that in the type system?

Or you have something like 'for any A and B: (find some optimal solution over A) is worse than (find some optimal solution over (A union B))'. Or you have idempotency like 'f(f(A)) = f(A)'.

These are all easy to understand properties, but not trivial to describe in most type systems.
It’s more of a collection of projects than a sequences of sprint. I think the project perspectives (the reality) is more beneficial to the mental health of the devs (which are makers). But managers (bad ones?) love the routine of the sprints, which are then imposed on the teams. At the end, they have all these numbers (story points, issues count, velocity,…) to say that it’s the fault of the devs that nothing has got done.
Are there any countries out there with a better privacy record, and an equivalent of the Fourth Amendment where there is actual legal action that can be pursued in case of violations? I am well aware of the violations of the US, but I am of the opinion that all countries spy when they are able to and can get away with it, and I'd rather have the US spying on me than anyone else.
> That's one of the reasons I would like to have a more algorithmic society with human in the loop calling the final shots and placing the rationale on top

But isn’t that what the rule of law is supposed to be? A set of written rules with judges at the top to interpret or moderate them when all else fails.

The problem is that, for a variety of complex reasons, the rules are not applied evenly, and sometimes only enforced opportunistically.

So I don’t see how an algorithmic society is any different from today’s society. The problem is not the ability to operate algorithmically, which we already have, but in determining what the rules should be, how they should be enforced, what the penalties should be, who pays for what, and, perhaps most importantly, how to avoid capture of the algorithmic process by special interests.

None of these problems go away with an algorithmic approach, less so if there is a judge sitting on top who can make adjustments.
IIRC Ford made shop drawings for replacement parts available, and the car was designed to be repairable.

A quick bit of Google research suggests that a WWII Jeep would also serve this purpose. But it would be shameful to use a vehicle from Ohio.
Yeah, and from what I've heard, there is a bit of a hub and spoke model involved too. Lots of fuel gets delivered to large tanks at centralized, relatively nearby fuel terminals with short distance delivery to the stations. This last mile delivery is also the most inefficient, as it involves heavy diesel trucks in urban traffic situations that are almost a worst case for them.

It seems like almost the perfect case for electric trucks. At least I haven't seen a compelling reason to believe otherwise yet.

It's not ambergris that gives Kouros its characteristic pissy notes, but civet (also real oakmoss and strong aldehydes) ingredients all of which they toned down in the early 2000s and then completely removed in 2008 (Loreal era).

The Kouros you can buy these days (white instead of metallic shoulders), is heavy on coriander with barely any "musk" and bears little resemblance to the "scent of the gods" of the 80s and 90s. I still have multiple bottles from the 90s which are as good as ever, together with Kouros Fraicheur from the same era which is another Pierre Bourdon masterpiece. YSL perfumes from the 80s and 90s were legendary.
