There's lots of products that people really need and could help improve their lives, but they don't know about the existence of the problem/solution.

For example

"Hey do you have hip pain when walking down the stairs? Turns out this is extremely common and we solved it with this special walking stick. Click here to buy the walking stick"

"Were you an Iraq war veteran who served between 2004 and 2006? Turns out the government owes you money. Click here to get it"

"Do you like Blink 182? Turns out they are actually touring again and they are in your city next weekend. Buy tickets now"

There's tons of stuff out there that would be a win-win transaction, if only ppl knew about it.
I am not only concerned about being a victim though. I don't want to be anywhere near it. I think I should be allowed to have that kind of a desire and preference.

I also think that whether or not you end up being a victim has a lot more to do than simply crimes per person.

I don't think whether you end up a victim is evenly distributed to every single person.

I think that the way you live and act and guard against things can affect your personal chances differently and that physical proximity can end up playing a role.
I'ma let you finish but... Kanye has long been a master of publicity stunts and his music has always been popular (and dare I say it - even as a non-fan - consistently good).

He was doing fine until he (self-admittedly) stopped taking his bipolar medication in 2017, jumped into politics, and supported a group that has almost entirely alienated his fanbase because there's pretty much zero overlap in the demographics. He says he stopped taking them for the sake of his music so maybe he was in a catch 22 situation, but he's gone completely off the rails.
Please elaborate on these tangible realizable benefits. I honestly can see none.

As far as risks, literally being falsely imprisoned or executed is an actual, real world risk, that people have actually experienced. https://daily.jstor.org/forensic-dna-evidence-can-lead-wrong...

To me, the bottom right image has a smoother more gradual range of colors while the top right seems like the saturation is turned up a bit too high so many of the same colors blend in loosing some of those color details. Like the typical blue sky present in the top right, in the bottom right version goes from a similar vibrant blue to light purple as the sky extends to the horizon. Similarly the bottom right's foreground trees/hills details of green/tan colors pop out more more as they sit together giving you a greater sense of detail to the dense foliage.
As a biz owner, this kind of decision making would stress me out.

No one knows what the quality of the people will be. The people okay with driving 2+ hours are going to stick around. What kind of person is that? A hard worker? Maybe. A dedicated worker? Maybe...

Or is it the people so untalented, they cannot find another job, and do this for survival?

I don't know the answer, and I'd be horrified to roll the dice on that. I'm unsure what the packages look like to cut your lowest performers, but at least you aren't rolling dice.

Side note: I can get nation wide talent way way way cheaper when I offer remote/flexible schedule. I kind of appreciate the big companies arent sucking this labor market, leaves me room.

I assume this means a plate is shifting? What about the other side of the plate(s)? Won’t that put more pressure there as well?
I want to say they actually put some work in to allow TST to still work when they transitioned to quantum as it was a popular extension.

I got the impression they were eventually going to add back in the horizontal tab bar disable as well but if that was even true they clearly forgot about it. I've been using the userChrome hacks for close to 7 years now.

That’s a great strategy if you want workers to quit. But if you’re hiring, (like for instance if having employees makes you more money than the employees cost) what you want is the opposite.
The key insight is going to be: when they’re hiring again will those same companies continue to offer remote options. The answer is probably some will some won’t.

From my experience AWS is the worst to work with. Even friends from huge software houses say that if client want AWS they know they'll need x3 resources to work with this project. Azure is slow with all actions but works and with GCP I had the best experience.
"Is healthcare an actual market in the real sense, or are we just pretending it is?"

Who actually is pretending this is a real market? In a functioning market all participants have access to the relevant information, there is choice and competition.

* With employer based insurance you basically have no or minimal choice.

* Getting information from providers and hospitals to make a decision is extremely hard to impossible

* Pharmacies have contracts that forbid them to inform patients about alternatives

* Insurances' websites often list doctors that not in network anymore

The system in the US is very far away from anything resembling a market.
It's a good theory, but I dunno, I think these things are mostly decided by the younger generation. I don't know if Tyler the Creator, Post Malone, or Dua Lipa or whoever will still be relevant in 50 years. Queen and MJ obviously some of the most talented music artists of all time so quite tough to say who in this decade or whatever will live up to that kind of high reputation.

One thing that's worth noting is we don't really have any new genres to master. It's usually the best songs and artists of a newer genre or subgenre that we elevate to all time greats.
It's hard to make the connection between matrices and a linear mapping between vector spaces. A lot of the time students in a linear algebra classes do not have a great grasp of what a function is, so when talking about vector spaces and linear maps between them they're lost. Then connecting that to a matrix is hopeless.
Right. Another commenter mentioned "a nice sit down restaurant", and some of the other replies imply they're just not used to not drinking without a straw at all, hence my confusion.

Now fine dining is on the extreme end, but a nice sit down restaurant to me implies something at least halfway inbetween a McDonalds and fine-dining, and at that halfway point I'd never expect straws.
I read the article you linked. I feel like I wasted my time.

The article has a single point it repeats over and over again: OpenAI (and "generative AI as a whole"/"transformer-based models") are too expensive to run, and it's "close to impossible" for them to either limit costs or increase revenue. This is because "only 5% of businesses report using the technology in production", and that the technology had no impact on "productivity growth". It's also because "there's no intelligence in it", and the "models can't reason". Oh, also, ChatGPT is "hard to explain to a layman".

All that is liberally sprinkled with "I don't know, but"s and absolutely devoid of any historical context other than in financial terms. No technical details. Just some guesses and an ironclad belief that it's impossible to improve GPTs without accessing more data than there is in existence. Agree or disagree; the article is not worth wading through so many words: others made arguments on both sides much better and, crucially, shorter.
IIRC very early versions of Chrome actually had native vertical tabs and then they removed the feature at some point.
Sounds plausible, at least!
Insightful article, music celebrity is fascinating.
I have a musically-gifted friend in her twenties who got a full-time job singing and playing in a band in a live-music nightclub, she's the only musician I've met who plays music for a living, without a non-music side gig. Her own band has never toured and has a tiny instagram presence, she seems happy with that.

I'm well aware of what NoScript does, I'm already using it. It seems you're missing the point of the comparison.
Those two things don't seem connected at all. Blame Germany for emboldening Putin. Russia accumulated a huge war chest due to energy exports, mostly to the rest of Europe. A large part of that was gas for Germany. That could have been avoided with some timely nuclear power. It also made Germany (and other parts of Europe) quite vulnerable because gas pipelines are hard to replace (and LNG is expensive).

Remember that the war started in 2014, not 2022.
The STM32H7 and other M7 chips have caches - performance is night and day between 2x300MHz smaller, cacheless cores and chips with L1 caches (and things like TCM, etc.)

The SRAM in that H7 is running at commensurately-high speeds, as well.

Comparing an overclocked 2xM33 to a non-overclocked M7 is also probably a little inaccurate - that M7 will easily make more than the rated speed (not nearly as much as the RP2040 M0+, though.)
Tab Mix Plus remains unsurpassed.
Thanks, that makes perfect sense.
"Altered Carbon" dealt with themes like that. I would imagine there are probably a bunch of other sci-fi works dealing with it. It's a cool idea.
There are legitimate uses, but the point would be that the process could ask the system to lock it down with whatever executable code is already present. This could be used to prevent already running code from tampering with the process' behavior by loading new code, or to thwart code injection.

>It just means that whatever foreign data you load into those pages can't execute, which is a security mechanism (for example, game save data can be loaded into these heaps so that you can load all game state but without the save file potentially running foreign code)

But malloc() and all the other standard memory allocation functions already return pointers into non-executable pages, anyway. Perhaps those functions call into this one internally, but using this over whatever your language offers by default offers no additional protection.
Generally speaking, if inspectors did their jobs well, almost nobody would ever buy a house, due to the prevalence of existing issues and the cost of remediation. I've found that there is a duality of thought among homebuyers, where most want a "perfect" condition house, but also don't want to pay for a perfect condition house. At the same time, home sellers also don't want to pay any more than they absolutely must in order to sell the house, so you end up with inspectors as these not-entirely-impartial middle-men whose job is mostly to CYA while not identifying too many problems that could create a reputation for them that might limit future realtors & home sellers from using them.

It's all pretty silly, really, especially considering the hottest markets, where you either want a house or you don't, and if you you'll probably pay top dollar with no contingencies and possibly not even your own inspection... since the seller knows if you don't buy it someone else is in line right behind you. Most of the time, houses sold this way aren't in significantly worse shape than those that are fully inspected and repairs made before the transaction.

Overall, this has led me to believe that, in most cases, pre-sale inspections don't really benefit anyone, especially since it's so difficult for buyers to seek E&O recourse/damages against either an inspector or seller after the sale closes.
I’m curious which part of these tenets would feel would have prevented the bug demonstrated, besides “oh we tried harder”? I don’t see any of those that seem unique to DTrace other than limiting where probes can be placed.
Acidic drinks like soda and citrus do corrode your teeth
Yeah, eigenvectors and eigenvalues are abstract and best understood in terms of the linear mapping between vector spaces and change of basis, but change of basis for a vector space and writing a matrix in a new basis gets really complicated. Many people get lost there.
Will I forget holding my first child?
Will I have forgotten cuddling up in my mom’s lap?
Will I miss having forgotten these things?
If I can still remember all those moments ... will I still be human in any sense?

I've already forgotten most of those things, aside from a few fleeting glimpses. I absolutely miss being able to remember details about things like childhood, middle school, the first months of my kids' lives, the smell of their hair etc. But life is still rewarding, my kids and family bring me endless joy _right now_, and I don't feel any less human.

If I were able to live another hundred years, I am sure I'd forget things from my time now, forget even more details about my early life, but would still have plenty of things to keep me interested in continuing to live. There are such an abundance of things I can think of that would be worth spending decades mastering, each of which are less important than my current needs, and which I generally have discarded because "it's too late by now...". Swordfighting, glass blowing, painting, creating music, etc. Imagine being able to find something new and interesting, and being able to devote forty or fifty years to developing a (current) lifetime's level of expertise in it. That sounds like science fiction to me, but if such were possible, I'd pick it every time over not having the opportunity.

Will I still be human in any sense?

I feel like we would redefine what "human" means to include our new selves. I can't imagine not feeling human, even if it is Very Far from my current conceptualization of humanity.
I mean, there are plenty of things that are worse than death. I myself have an informal "anti-bucket list" -- things I want to make sure I die without doing / have happen to me. It's a LOOONG list.

Alzheimer's. Paralysis. Elder abuse. Bone cancer. Even identity death. I think anyone who is that terrified of death is doing so from an adolescent "bad things only happen to other people" mindset.
You mention that there is no penalty for not writing a "proper" code, nor is there any incentive for writing one. But I'd like to argue that doing something right purely for the sake of doing it right should be the entire reason for doing it. In a certain way, this is adjacent to the age-old question of "why should one be good?" While I'd refrain from discussing philosophy at length, suffice to say that doing good work should not be purely driven by the desire of any reward or recognition. Doing it right is an incentive on its own. Besides, if you ever have to switch your current org for one with a better work culture, you may find that bad habits have an annoying property of being difficult to get rid of.
Yes, but constructive dismissal is only relevant if returning to the office constitutes a hostile work environment, which it wouldn't if the original terms of employment included office attendance. Inconvenience isn't an argument.
(I am very much not an expert)

You're missing something but it's actually easy to get confused about.

GPIO: general purpose input/output. A pin that can be used by the main CPU core(s) to interrogate the outside world.

PIO: programmable input-output. A small, I/O dedicated state-machine that can be custom-programmed in a minimal assembly language to handle I/O tasks/simple protocols/state management, over GPIO/I2C/SPI etc., without taxing the primary CPU.

https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/what-is-pio/

https://tutoduino.fr/en/pio-rp2040-en/

Some microcontrollers have basic features a little similar, but it's something the RP series is taking a lot more seriously than most. The RP2040 has eight of these PIO state machines; the RP2350 has 12.

There are some astonishing examples of what these things can do. But basically think of these as delegated GPIO/SPI/I2C etc. co-processors that can blaze away at high speeds on I/O tasks without needing the main cores until something "high-level" occurs.
Edge does that

Honestly, I find the reasons they name for using Kubernetes flimsy as hell.

“ECS doesn’t support helm charts!”

No shit sherlock, that’s a thing literally built on Kubernetes. It’s like a government RFP that can only be fulfilled by a single client.
Thanks for sharing these numbers. I'm actually baffled to see the on-time performance so high and the passenger injury rate so low. I wonder how these numbers would look if they broke it down into greyhound vs. other operations, and whether cancellations are factored into their on-time performance. I've seen verbal aggression on so many of these buses and stations that I can't square it such a low injury rate. Maybe I've just been a major outlier in my travels.
PIO is not the same as GPIO: https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/what-is-pio/

The PIOs are state machines that let you develop custom peripherals that run asynchronously, not taking up CPU time. You could probably bitbang some custom peripherals on an ESP32/ESP8266, but that takes up a lot of CPU time and power.
Maybe because we call another country Greece and not Grease?

I could do more food puns but I’m already getting Hungary.
Read my other comment. I have ridden inter-city busses in the US on many occasions and picked up people at the stations. They've generally been on-time. My personal experiences have been pretty alright. A few times the WiFi didn't work but that was about it when it comes to my own negative experiences. The bus stations haven't exactly been in the nicest parts of town, but I've never experienced anything like violence there. Outside of chartered trips I haven't done a multi-day bus trip, most have been straight city pairs. Houston <-> Dallas. Dallas <-> Austin. Austin <-> San Antonio. Etc. But I'm not then saying that's always typical, to actually judge the performance I'd look at the larger statistics.

> the on-time performance is maybe around 50%

I posted Greyhound's on-time statistics which was 90%.

> who do a trip exactly once

What a way to collect statistics. I just stepped outside. It wasn't raining. I guess it'll never rain.

> drawing randomly from all long-distance bus videos online, a large fraction of them have unsafe situations

Well yeah, once again, are there really going to be a lot of popular videos of "I took a five day bus ride, nothing happened, here's an hour-long video of the travel!" And are those really random videos or ones the algorithm have bubbled up to the surface? Think a video with crazy stuff happening would bubble up in the algorithm rather than an hour long video where nothing of note happens? Maybe analyzing statistics by one-off example YouTube videos made for clicks isn't the best way.
Oh the memories of being a “reading buddy” in middle school circa 1993 and seeing the memo posted on the second grade classroom bulletin board plainly stating username / password was last name / first name of teachers.

From there, somehow the GUI made it possible to trackball-and-action-key my way to admin privileges and change the login motd for everyone in the school.

My downfall was sharing that info with more destructive classmates who changed the password of the administrator and supposedly almost got me charged with mischief.

Keyboarding class in grade 9 though was made a bit more interesting despite already being able to touch type, as I somehow figured out how to drop to the (quite limited) QNX command prompt.
Well, no, because (const char *)str is nonsense, if str is an std::string.
Or you can do like a few different states have done and just fucking ban billboards, and the world doesn't end, and the economy doesn't crash, and the world is an explicitly better place.

So much stupid nonsense just to not make the world a better place and I don't understand it. You don't need to be creative.

Speaking of which, at this point it's only a matter of time before some big name attempts to put a satellite in orbit that is also a billboard, so you can ALWAYS see their advertising in the nights sky, because it is not currently being used for advertising so, you know, they want to fix that. If we don't ban it now, we WILL have our night sky blocked out by advertising at some point. Companies already use big drone displays to do this.

And I guarantee you people will insist "It's not a big deal, we need advertising, we don't need to block all of it"
The number of non-Apple desktops and laptops running ARM is likely a rounding error, and that's unlikely to change anytime soon. Intel has never had a significant presence in mobile devices in the current smartphone era, and they've survived thus far.

Intel does have a presence in servers, but AMD has been offering vastly superior products for years in that space, and consequently, AMD has significantly eaten into Intel's server market share. The hyperscalers are also investing in ARM server products, but it's unclear what effect this has on the market.

I think we're witnessing the end of Intel as we know it, but not due to ARM. Rather, the current CEO -- Pat Gelsinger -- has bet the company on Intel becoming a foundry for other chip designers. Whether that bet will succeed is up in the air.

My 10-year prediction is that Intel will survive as a foundry -- semiconductor manufacturing is a national security priority and the US government can't afford to let Intel fail -- but the chip design segments of Intel may end up getting spun off into their own company (the inverse of how AMD spun off its fabs into what is now Global Foundries).
Very much agree. I have built infra on ECS with terraform at two companies now, and we have zero manual steps for actions like this, beyond “add the env var to a terraform file, merge it and let CI deploy”. The majority of config changes we would make are that process.

Depends on what you mean. Helm will control a lot. You can make the yaml file in any language. Also you can admin it from command line tools. So again any language but often zsh or bash.
Funnily enough, they advertise one of the partner boards with USB C in that way anyways:
