If it essentially calculates the area of the polygon inside the pixel box and then assigns a colour to the pixel based on the area portion, how would any spatial aliasing artifacts appear? Shouldn't it be equivalent to super-sampling with infinite sample points?
US money market funds fall under strict regulations (including around liquidity and redemption) post global financial crisis to preserve their net asset value at $1 (to prevent “breaking the buck” or losing value). Can you be more specific as to what mismanagement looks like?

You should read about most European countries ID cards. Some place to start could be the cryptography infrastructure the ID cards use, "Digital Mobile Key" also interesting.
Depends on the money market fund. There are US treasury only funds like FDLXX, basically the only situation it would become unable to meet it's cash flow obligations is if there where no buyers for US treasuries at face value.

And frankly if that's the case I wouldn't be betting on FDIC or equivalent insurance actually working anyways.

But even "less" secure ones are heavily regulated to be kept at 1$ of NAV and SPIC backed.
One of the most interesting things about Midjourney is that it always returns multiple images, and asks the user to select which of those they would like to view at full resolution.

This is pretty clearly training for a preference model - so they now have MILLIONS of votes showing which images are more "pleasing" to their users.
The interactive harmonic lattice, with the commas clickable and audible, is first rate and is the best interactive illustration of JI problems I have yet seen.

It is not quite clear from the explanation, that since the "3" direction is also dividing by 2 implicitly, the note confusingly labeled "3" is really just 3/2 - the perfect fifth. Similarly, the note labeled "5" is actually what we hear as the 12TET major third - clarifying a couple of examples on this lattice (or playing a chord) would be good.

Then, the thing I think that might help is driving the point home a little more by creating a comma by hand - a "knight's move" to another tile 5 horizontal and 3 vertical, creates a ratio that almost but not quite undoes itself. The (unwieldy) math is 1*3*3*3*3*5*5/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2 = 0.9887, and this is what creates the commas in JI. Hiding the octave transpositions, while making for a neat visualization of the lattice, confuses the underlying issue.
> We’ve seen the secret sauce at the top, it’s not special.

I'm not at all saying all FAANG bosses are great, but I don't think I've ever seen anyone argue that all they do is "make a couple decisions a week and then play golf." Anyone that says that is just showing how clueless they are as to what goes in to running a large company.
I'm not affirming the consequent here. I'm saying don't dismiss the gamepad claim outright. As I said, it's not normal for a sub traveling miles under water to have electronics sourced from Walmart's toy section.

This thread is about the gamepad. The lawsuit mentions it. It's relevant. Period.

In Russia you'll be jailed for claiming Russia is at war.

Claiming that Russia has greater free speech right is laughable. Maybe if you compare to North Korea...
One troubling thing I find is that it is easy to assume Chinese=insecure/backdoored, but much harder to popularize scrutiny of “American” companies whose products are entirely developed by Chinese teams with little to none domestic oversight.

I saw this not out of any sympathy for China, but rather out of frustration that too many US-founded companies are now a shell with entirely foreign development and foreign manufacturing. They rest on a mighty reputation built over decades by American workers that are all now long laid off and/or dead.

There are numerous examples ranging from fortune 50 companies all the way down… For example, take “Oregon Scientific” — I’d bet they haven’t employed a US engineer in 25 years! They can’t even claim their headquarters to be in the US!

It’s not even about acquisitions. Look at job postings of any US tech company. Pick a WiFi router company — are there development jobs in the US or elsewhere? Or pick something more critical like Virtualization software — same story.
I was very intrigued by the animated demos, but apparently the animation is not accomplished with CSS :(

I definitely learned flexbox and thought to myself "this is good enough", and haven't really pushed myself to learn grids. It does seem like there's some reason to prefer grid [0], but it overall I've never needed to do anything that can only be done with grid (except data tables, for which I use actual tables).

In Portugal at least you do it the same way you did it before the cards had a key. It's the same problem, how do you establish you're the guy that's in front of them trying to get a replacement for your "lost ID"? That's independent of the ID having a key. So whatever process you use for that now at the DMV or whatever.
Note that BOXX had a capital gain distribution this week. It's unclear what portion of future growth will be distributed.

I bet your bubble congratulated you when you used your soft skills to encourage a problem employee to become a better contributor. Just curious though, could you actually do the job of this contributor? And if that employee had your own job in leadership, do you think they could maybe also come up with the creative idea that for solving personnel problems, one need only loom threateningly, and declare quietly "Maybe You're the Problem"? Very subtle. It's almost like a power difference solved the problem all by itself, without needing any problem solving skills.

I've had great bosses, but that's not what we're discussing. This is about executives. And while I agree that executives are certainly highly motivated, I just think that at a certain level mostly that is motivation to lie, misdirect, deflect, and steal. This also isn't about small businesses, which are much more likely to have legitimate entrepreneurs or merit-based processes, even at the top. For most medium-sized businesses and certainly for large ones, everything is different and anyone can see that pedigree, nepotism, and failing upwards all become more dominant factors. Take an honest look at yourself and your bubble and the line workers. Who can do who's job, really? Which work is more skilled?
MS seems to be continuing to push xCloud with Games Pass. It has been useful when playing games with my friends a few times.
The ability to compromise a shared secret is a known weakness of using shared secrets as an authentication factor. That doesn't make shared secrets "not authentication". They're still the most common type of authentication credential. An SSN is just a relatively weak one. Like "hunter2" for a password, or a 4 digit PIN, or a security question.

What does it even mean to "prove" identity? That's the million dollar question when designing an authentication system, isn't it? First you need to determine what level of certainty you're looking for. If you want to be really certain, a supervised blood draw and DNA test might work well. This method has proven to be overkill for the customer-only bathrooms at my local Chipotle, though. They've opted to use the much less secure 4-digit shared pin. My bank uses something in between the two. I guess they've seen my account, and know they can't get blood from a stone :)
The lowest you can go with DSC 1.2 is 8 bits per pixel.

Nope, my house loan is 2.3% my liquid savings in FDLXX are about 5%. What you are saying is only true if your debt is incurred at the same time as your savings are accumulated. That's actually rather unlikely.

It’s Pascal instead of BASIC, which may or may not be an improvement depending on your perspective.
Doesn't that assume you're always in debt AND the debt is greater than your savings?
I’ve worked closely with the CEOs of a few big companies. People see a few moments of glamor and think that is the job but the vast majority of what they do is an astonishingly shitty and thankless job. You have to be a certain kind of masochist to do what is required in that role day after day. You are also never off the clock, so they never really get a proper break to recharge and prevent burnout. No one with any sense would do that job for a normal paycheck and perks, it isn’t worth it.

The reality is that few people have the mental and psychological constitution required to do the job of CEO at any decent sized company. You don’t need to look further than startups to empirically know that most people, even when self-selecting, can’t do the job of CEO even when playing the easy mode of a small company.
It has to do with the training data. Mostly are photorealistic style. I'm sure there will be more real world style coming out soon.

True.

All somebody has to do is grep "::" some logs somewhere for millions of hosts then | uniq to remove dupliaces > to some file and then there's their master host list.

for all we know, bad actors could be positioning themselves right now. But for hosts that need ipv6 and have no ipv4 uplinks it's not like they can just disable their internet. They can, but they won't.

Cisco just laid off a major amount of their workforce too so, so should be interesting to watch.

Disable IPv6 on All Network Adapters

Open PowerShell as Administrator:
Right-click on the Start menu or press Windows Key + X.
Select Windows PowerShell (Admin) or Windows Terminal (Admin) if using a newer version of Windows.
Disable IPv6 on All Network Adapters:Execute the following command in PowerShell:

Get-NetAdapter | ForEach-Object { Disable-NetAdapterBinding -Name $_.Name -ComponentID ms_tcpip6 -PassThru }

Explanation:
Get-NetAdapter: Retrieves all network adapters.
ForEach-Object { ... }: Iterates through each network adapter.
Disable-NetAdapterBinding: Disables the IPv6 binding for the specified network adapter.
-ComponentID ms_tcpip6: Specifies the IPv6 protocol to disable.

Disable IPv6 Globally

If you want to disable IPv6 globally (not just on network adapters), you can use the Windows Registry to achieve this. Here’s how:

Open PowerShell as Administrator:
Same steps as above.
Disable IPv6 Globally:Execute the following commands to modify the Windows Registry:

# Disable IPv6 on all network interfaces Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters' -Name 'DisabledComponents' -Value 0xFF

# Apply the changes by restarting the network interface or rebooting the system Restart-NetAdapter -Name (Get-NetAdapter | Select-Object -First 1).Name

Explanation:

Set-ItemProperty: Modifies a registry key value. In this case, it sets the DisabledComponents value to 0xFF, which disables all IPv6 components.
Restart-NetAdapter: Restarts the network adapter to apply changes. If this doesn’t work, a system reboot may be required.

Verify IPv6 Status

To check if IPv6 has been disabled, you can run:

Get-NetAdapterBinding -ComponentID ms_tcpip6

This command will list network adapters and show whether the IPv6 binding is enabled or disabled. Re-enable IPv6

If you want to re-enable IPv6, you can run:

Get-NetAdapter | ForEach-Object { Enable-NetAdapterBinding -Name $_.Name -ComponentID ms_tcpip6 -PassThru }

Important Notes

Administrative Privileges: Disabling network features typically requires administrative rights.
Network Impact: Disabling IPv6 might affect certain network functionalities or applications that rely on it, so be sure that it’s necessary for your use case.
Reboot: Some changes might require a reboot to take full effect.

By following these steps, you can disable IPv6 on your Windows system using PowerShell.
Oh, and one last point of feedback - it wasn't apparent to me that the "Aníron" progression was walking across the lattice. You should make the projected versions semitransparent to show the main chord progression walking as it does in the JI lattice.

Still, awesome diagrams.

There is no reasonable alternative. Public transport is unreasinable for most people when you look at suburban and rural areas for the bulk of places people live and work given how spread out everything is.
I don't know what you mean by "shiny/glossy lighting look to it." Could you give some examples?

I haven't noticed that a lot of AI images are generated with a "realistic cartoon" style, and I assume that's to smooth over some uncannyness.

I'm enjoying tech-leading this project very much. I get to spend the time needed to write unusually high quality code, and there's a wide funnel that collects interesting debugging challenges and gets the best ones to my desk.

> the user competition is meant to be a fun side-project that we threw together today, I think it's cool that people hack things like that so quickly :)

The website comes off as a marketing strategy rather than a fun one-day hackathon project. I think that's why it's getting the reaction you're seeing.
As someone who used to work on that platform back when it was still called PlayStation Now, no it is not. There's a few rumors and alleged leaks though.
The shortest, strangest engineering interview I've ever done
One issue I have with this article is that it doesn't discuss the distinction between Government money market funds that invest in US Treasury debt and repurchase agreements, and Prime money market funds, that also invest in riskier assets like corporate paper.

I'm comfortable with holding significant amounts in a Government MM fund, but less so with Prime MM funds.
I’m utterly amazed how such unenviable situations are even remotely possible…
Do all Australian banks now require that or is it because you work in some sector, like import/export?
Not Dexter’s laboratory! That’s the reason why I’m a scientist! :(
You've a mis-understanding of how funds like FDLXX are managed. In a T-BILL only fund even a decrease in past asset value doesn't matter because they are by law managed to 1$ of net asset value. That is they most hold 1$ of _current_ asset value for every 1$ deposited _at all times_.

The only situation where the value of the fund can be less than what you put in is the collapse of US currency, which savings account insurance can not protect against either.
I feel like Geforce Now has been growing quite steadily, they onboard new titles every week including some big ones like World of Warcraft recently and they've stood up streaming DC's in quite a lot of places now.
When I had just joined my current company, one of the first advices I got was to look at problems not with the intention of using technology to solve them, but to think deeply first and if it suited use technology as a tool to solve the problem. The second advice was to remove complexity from my life, and the third, people will often pay to make their lives easier if you can get a product infront of them they didn't know they needed. I don't want to pay 4$ a week, so I made a shortcut lol

navigate to article -> cmd+shift+y -> open link in waybackmachine/archive depending on whether the article is available.

I think "pretty close" is severely underselling Lazarus - it is way ahead of Visual Basic 6 in almost every aspect when it comes to making GUIs. Even Delphi 2 (the first 32bit Delphi) allowed for more complex GUIs compared to VB6, let alone something way more advanced like Lazarus.

The only thing that VB up to 6 had that you can't find in Lazarus (or Delphi for that matter) is being able to pause the program while it is running (or some error occurred), modify it and continue the execution without restarting it. But overall considering all the pros Lazarus has compared to VB6 i'd say it is much better than VB6 ever was.
You can also mark segments in the downloaded files with that combination of tools, which is useful and non-destructive.
That is a valid concern, see what happened with Redis or MySQL. But I think (while valid) it's very unlikely. Postgres can't be "bought". A company would need to start building an own version and make it better than the still existing open source version. Then they would need to convince people to pay for it. Not a good business idea.
The article says they want to take it to air shows, where presumably it will need to be airworthy. But yeah, I would hope they plan to do more with it than that...

I don't think they should try to turn this into a profit-seeking enterprise, but with the cost of the restoration probably pushing $20M (enough to buy a brand-new, modern jet of similar size, I'd bet), it might be nice to recoup some of that.
I forgot bank transfers in the USA still use fax machines. Where I am this is roughly instant.
There are layers to thought, and the layer that is most conscious is, at least for me (and from what I hear a lot of other people), in my native language. Further, achieving fluency in a second language is often associated with skipping the intermediate step of translating from English, with thoughts materializing first in the second language.

You're correct that there does seem to be a layer lower than that—one that can materialize as either a native or a second language—but it's not inaccurate to talk about which language we "think" in because many of us actually do constantly materialize thoughts as language without any intention of speaking them.
It's quite do-able, but the home-sized folding robots from a few years ago were too expensive. They do such a small part of the laundry task that they're not useful.

The industrial-strength laundry folding robots do work.[1] But that's for hospital laundries that need to clean and fold thousands of scrubs per day.

You're right only state and local.
I get what you were going for here, but I think to some it might have come across as unimportant pedantry.

Perhaps phrasing your initial comment as "Fun fact: the call sign..." would have been better received? I dunno, people are fickle sometimes.
Can you give me an example of how to do 50k/s with TLS on an rpi? Also what do you use to measure that?

I've tried a little with httpd (apache) on an older desktop I use as my home server and got terrible results. I can't remember but it might have been single digit or low double digit rps.
There was a time that would have worked because most judges didn't even know how to turn on their computers, much less the difference in file types.

Now, do the same thing and the judge would fine the company, and its lawyers, for failing to comply with discovery. And if the judge is super pissed off, they may issue a warrant for the CEO to spend a few nights in jail thinking about his decision-making process.
is there a chance the tunnel could bend?

Monopoly is not "large, even 100% market share".

Monopoly is when they use that market share to compete in _an entire different market_ without actually earning the "best" spot. Or using their dominance to prevent competition entirely from succeeding.
For example: Blocking all ad-tracking on its own browser, except ads purchased through its own ad network.

Once I had this thought and renamed the root user to my own name. Hilarity ensued.
The policy isn’t written that way though. The policy doesn’t say anything about camcorders. So you’re right about camcorders. But the law says “copying” which is pretty abstract, the case law is really detailed, so it’s not so black and white. Nobody cares about your imaginary situations with robots - I basically agree with you that there needs to be a distinct law governing AI training, and that leads to a far more interesting and totally normative conversation about who, if anyone, is the good or the bad guys.

If the policy (via case law) becomes, expressly permissioned content only, there are no image generators. Some people may want that. But is that better than we were, in the current status quo, where we have them? I don’t think so.
Microsoft product quality déjà vu c. 1990's. If a vendor is going to build and maintain a wide-used operating system, at least they should take the trouble to thoroughly test it, use safer and consistent SWE practices, and use formal verification processes to prove artifacts created fulfill a desired behavior model without deleterious or undesirable side-effects. But no, there is no accountability and certain vendors continue to do the same thing and expect a different result. Customers maybe left to find alternatives rather than continue the stupidity and/or insanity, of which there aren't meaningfully better alternatives, and so running systems becomes a Hobson's choice between use and nothing.
They aren't. They're also an entire team.
