I think "~73K EUR per project" doesn't sound much, and I'd happily pay more taxes if I could be sure research would receive more of my taxes.

Cyberpunk 2077 – The Board Game
In my student days I at some point decided to go from a double sided razor to using a belt for sharpening a traditionam razor. Didn't last long because this actually is labour intensive in maintenance and shaving. For years I used to break a DE blade in half's and use it in a fake traditional razor. Now I am using the double blade again and actual find it really easy and fast. I am always annoyed from cartridges as longer hair (I wear a beard) gets stuck and the double sided razor is much easier to clean.

> Debian is a desktop operating system for human persons who are responsible for their computers

Debian is many other things as well!
I once friend-of-a-friend met somebody, a materials science grad student who had "invented/applied" a high tech alloy to the edge that allowed for blades to last at least 10x. But instead of for shaving, the big money was in blades sold to flooring carpet cutters, they use a new blade for every cut. His selling proposition was (conservative) 5x which would really increase productivity/save labor. Problem is, his market was too scared to try it, at the risk of messing up an expensive piece of carpet which had been ordered in fixed quantity, they'd rather just put in a new blade, the cost wasn't an issue.

The context being discussed here is what happened recently in the kernel. If that outburst’s root cause was Rust folks being jerks to the C folks, that’s very different than what seemingly happened.

I think both communities are too large and disparate to make sweeping claims like this in a more general sense, but I agree that people should not treat each other poorly.
Hah, came here to say this as well.

How to Start Freelancing
Having dealt directly with search warrants for a number of years I can say that it's not quite as crazy as it seems (at least as a legal matter). Just because the police can get the evidence one way doesn't mean that they're required to. My comment above describes a similar situation.

I actually think the legal issue that might end up hanging San Fran PD (or others) up is that a search warrant must provide facts that would let a judge determine that the place to be searched (in this case the stored memory of the car) is likely to contain evidence of the commission of a crime. If I correctly understand how the Tesla Sentry Mode works then it's not literally always recording everything. And if that's the case then the PD will have to show not only that the Tesla was near the scene of the crime (or near something else that would be evidence, e.g., suspect leaving home at a certain time), but would also have to show that they have good reason to believe that the Tesla was actually recording at the time. Whether they can make that showing seems likely to vary considerably between particular courts, but I guess we'll find out.
That is the month I made my Lemmy account. It’s smaller and quiet, not as many niche communities, but I’ll take that over rot economy platforms any day. I left Reddit after 10 years specifically because of the API debacle and how it affected Apollo.
>Feel free to share a link to some of his work that you find relevant

https://www.trevormarshall.com/ should be a good _starting_ point.

(Side note: don't you think experimental evidence should override all speculation of how things should work or not work? I believe that Prof TM has done some of those experiments, and referencing a fair amount of literature on the subject)
Not the whole picture - razor burn caused by too close a shave is a lot easier to happen when there’s 3-5 blades
It appears RM's out of fashion now. But mine does exactly what it promised to do: let me write and sometimes highlight PDFs.

The latter got better after persistent zoom - you zoom the PDF once for the margins and it remembers it for ongoing pages.

I got grandfathered into the connect service, it's also $36/yr, so not a huge deal? I transfer using the app. The app also lets you screenshare your drawing live, so I use it to draw during video conferences. That's been useful a few times.

It didn't promise to be a full-on tablet, and its value prop is in not being one. I prefer that it doesn't run a full mobile OS with other apps. That's against the damned point. I just want something to replace the paper stack I usually have near my laptop.
To be honest the never ending headache of getting things to work with SELinux under RHEL was a big driver for why I moved to debian.

Certainly SELinux has its place but I never found the value it offers to be worth the complexity it adds.
I had the same experience with the reMarkable 2.
You see this all the time in Digital Marketing.

Someone implements an attribution model to track which marketing channels have better ROI than others, and then that attribution model informs all investment and strategic decisions.

The issue is that every attribution model has some inherent flaw or limitation (usually quite significant ones too), so by bending your investment to align with the results you see from a model you're forcing the flaws and limitations of the model onto your strategy.

As companies grow and become more risk averse pleasing the attribution model becomes more and more important for teams and the company loses sight of what the attribution model was even trying to model in the first place.
> Socialists are always concerned with distributing production equally.

Not really. Socialism (the project of the labor movement) is concerned with workers being in control of their own work, not vessels for capitalist exploitation. Syndicalism is a form of socialism that emphasizes decentralization and federation, as opposed to command control. How resources are allocated under conditions of such federated governance is up for debate.

> "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need."

Socialism is older than Marxism and shouldn't be conflated with it.

> Where are all the creative products the Soviets made?

The USSR was a state capitalist/authoritarian regime, nothing like socialism.

Sorry for being reductionist. I will try to do better. But you literaly say you are happy with the API changes from Vuex to Pinia, so it is unclear to me what you dislike apart from the name change?

I don’t work on Vue itself and cant speak for that team. I’m a developer who use both Vue and React daily and seem to be an exception in that I rather like both, while recognizing both have different strengths and weaknesses (I have also tried other frameworks like Angular which i didn’t like).
> The research and innovation program, named GALATEA, stands as a pioneering venture targeting infant nutrition through the development of a digital twin of human milk.

> The overarching objective is to create a sophisticated simulation platform that mirrors the intricate composition of human milk, allowing for the formulation of personalized nutrition plans for infants, particularly those born prematurely.

> Anticipated outcomes include enhanced health outcomes for newborns, a deeper understanding of human milk for the advancement of artificial milk formulations, and the establishment of a robust research community dedicated to neonatal nutrition.

I mean, the ideal outcomes sound pretty good. And the non-ideal outcome is we learnt about a bunch of stuff that doesn't work, that's how research works after all.

What, exactly, is your critique about that particular research? That they call it a "digital twin", or what?

> Televisions moving from being screens which accept input, to self contained 'smart' devices that require software updates and thus have a shortened useful lifespan.

I just bought a 48" OLED smart TV and never connected it to the internet. It works fine as a monitor. I have another low budged smart TV in the bedroom that started life as a computer monitor and now is online as a TV. What's great about it is that it comes with IPTV - essentially cable TV that is free. Yeah there's commercials and a lot of the content is junk, but it augments YouTube and Emby nicely, (it's also Netflix capable).

All this to say, I have yet to see TVs cross the line into being actively user-hostile. Even my old kindle fire TV (whatever it's called) will grudgingly connect to jellyfin without Internet (does require several extra navigation clicks though)
Like you, I have an old offline eReader (4th gen Kindle, replaced battery). My eReader lasts multiple books of use on one full charge.

I also have a ReMarkable 2. The battery lasts about 14-16hrs of on-time for me.

I keep it in airplane mode and have sleep mode disabled to prevent it from locking after 40 minutes. I turn it on around 10AM and turn it off at 5PM, writing on it sporadically between those hours. The tablet reaches a low battery state by Wednesday.
Because latency is a distribution and these photos are often selected at the best-case P0 end of all the encode/decode processes whereas actually what matters is the worst case P99.

A proper implementation will make sure the worst-case latency is accounted for and not cherry-pick the best case.

Gaming is absolutely not all done with fp32. A lot of games actually target half precision , which is where most PowerVR based GPUs pull ahead. The majority of shaders and buffers are better suited for half.

It also ignores things like occupancy and memory throughput, among many other aspects of a GPU.

I think a 50% delta for GPU is very wishful thinking given even Intel are only claiming a 33% uplift versus meteor lake, which itself was behind the M3 line when compared against similar TDP.

Regarding the NPU, the M3 does support INT8. It’s just that between the M3 and M4 release, the rest of the industry started coalescing on INT8, hence the change in base type.

I expect the same will happen again now that NVIDIA are touting INT4 as their performance standard for marketing.
I've studied and visited Mondragon before, and hosted their students at my company. It's very cool, but I'm unsure how replicable the model really is.

My conclusion is that it emerged out of the unique environment of already high Basque solidarity, but even more so under Franco's oppression. After a few generations, they admit that the hardcore spirit is gone and made initiatives to try to restore it, but still some of the biggest co-ops have died or been sold off (ie Fagor).

My friends from there told me: "It's where your dumb cousin works", as it's very political with a lot of patronage kinds of networks that democratic elections at that scale tend to produce. They made a startup community there, but it seemed like most of the kids were trying to get out, not stay to reform the coop.

I think the Italian Emilia Romagna region cooperatives [1] may be a less centralized model that could be better, as it does away with the big organization that eventually rots, like any big old org.

Looks like the same news, though a different story about that news.

Even this video is a commentary on a story largely discussing the original Chronicle story.

What I like about this take is that Lehto is a lawyer and often discusses these things from a legal perspective that wouldn't be the kind of exploration taken in the original.
Digital Twin Framework for Tailored Infant Nutrition
I highly recommend the Morgenstreich. It's really an amazing experience and it's awesome to think you are sharing the same experience as people continued to do for hundreds of years.
Do the people whose cars get towed have to pay for it? Towing and storage can get really really expensive really fast. After a short while, it would make sense to walk away from the car, as the fees would exceed the value of the car. Is this what happens to the Tesla owners who don't voluntarily hand over the video to the police when asked?
What I personally do is to first type the title, then press either M-> or END to jump to the end of the buffer, and then just keep typing from there.

You can however place the date above the title if you want:

(setq howm-view-title-header "*")
(setq howm-template "%date %file\n* %title%cursor")

By adjusting the new file template, you can type the title and then just press enter and keep typing the content from there. Howm still understands where the title of the note is, since it looks for the first title header.

(If you like the default equal signs, you can skip the first setq above and replace "*" with "=" in the template.)

I don’t know, are these vids kept on an SD card or otherwise accessible via Tesla corp.? Why doesn't this same principle apply to home cams, where the cops have to ask permission for the footage?Seems like an obvious question. Tesla codes for Musk and Musk now codes right, so if you're being honest you have to at least entertain the idea this is meant to decrease the cost benefit analysis of owning a Tesla.
I imagine the odds are that Boom will most likely fail, but if wealthy investors want to pump money into supersonic flight R&D knowing that the risk is high, then I'm all for it. If nothing else it's very cool.

That was what I got but I didn’t want to turn it into an ad or cult, even though their product makes it easy to do so.

The way I think of it is that, unless I lose mine’s, it is easily something that can be passed down as an heirloom or legacy for my kids (though I would probably outfit them with their own when they need it). There are not many things made like that anymore.
I assume the same thing. But even if they were, police (for the most part) get to choose how they want to search for evidence. If they can get your iMessages (for instance; I'm just making a hypothetical) by sending a subpoena to Apple or by seizing your phone and copying the messages directly from it they can do either one of those things (even if one would be much easier).
This is the kind of engineering we need more of. No more proprietary, vendor lock in recurring costs. They designed a razor to work as perfectly as possible with an existing standard (the double edge safety razor blade).

I'm not the one trying to censor public discourse or jail people that allow for public discourse that the people in govt don't like. It's a slope that's repeatedly been slipped on through history.

If you have a platform you like, use it. As long as I have a block button that I can choose to use, I'm okay. If you think Twitter/X is bad, you should splunk around Telegram sometime.

In any case, I can choose who to associate with. I don't want the government to tell me I can't, it isn't right. I don't like flag burning either, but would rather not have that outlawed either. Repressive regimes can come from many directions... best to resist them all.

Is AI Killing Itself–and the Internet?
The k8s nodes in Oracle system are shipped with SELinux (permissive mode). One of the those nodes was extremely slow and we found out it's due to SELinux . We have to completely turn SELinux off, reboot the machine, and well, our pod start time reduced from 5 minutes to a few seconds.

I encounter this same need in my day job as a controls engineer.

Robots (actual industrial 6-axis robots, not T-800s), PLCs, and computers are surprisingly dumb, but they're dumb reliably, tirelessly, and very fast. Human operators and technicians, in comparisons, are paragons of unimaginable wisdom, but they are slow to react and occasionally make mistakes.

The magic happens when you bring them together correctly.

A human cannot respond in milliseconds under optimal conditions, under poor conditions (such as being fatigued and stressed by hours of unrelenting demand on their attention) they might take seconds to respond. It's possible but you don't really want to relegate basic tasks like lane centering and speed regulation to their subconscious, because they're likely to make mistakes. Computers can do a 1ms PID loop all day.

On the other hand, even with all the massive advancements being made by LLMs these days, a 4-year-old can better understand the gestures and commands from a traffic cop than software that would take a team of engineers and high-speed LIDAR sensors thousands of hours to interpret with a useless 95% accuracy rate.

Let humans do human things and machines do machine things. We don't ask humans to manage fuel mixtures or double-clutching a manual transmission anymore, because the machines can do that better. We shouldn't ask the machines to interpret emergency signage in the future, because humans can do that better.

The optimal level of automation is probably past analog cruise control that's been around for decades and simple suspension caster angles that bias the wheels to keep straight, probably even beyond level 2 radar distance-keeping cruise with automatic emergency braking and automated lane centering, but may never be "punch in an address" automated.

This is bizarre - I flew into Alberta from BC with just a carryon, meaning I couldn't carry razor blades. The TSA gave me weird looks for the bladeless shavette, but I could walk into Pharmasave (and I've seen them at Save-On, Shoppers, and more) and buy both double-edge razor, and the blades, in minutes

I'm actually incredulous you can't buy blades anywhere in the states

I still can't really wrap my head around this company:

1. How did a SWE start and raise funds for this company

2. How did he/they recruit the kind of talent you'd need to actually build a test plane

3. How much is left to do before a real commercial flight, and can they really do it?

A few months ago the conversation was "if they depend on next-gen engines and next-gen fuel this entire company is hindering on tech that isn't even available yet" so as a very non-aviation person, what does this test flight prove? It's not the air frame, its not the engines, its not even the full control suite.
Is there a reason this code is so complex? For example, the code where it picks the next color uses this sigmoid function ( https://github.com/patrickmineault/ismyblue/blob/main/src/ut... ) to increment the hue.

Is there a specific reason you didn't just have a list of a dozen or so colors and shuffle the array when the app starts? Just curious about the reasoning behind this and the value it provides.
Wait, you can still send telegrams in Japan?

> Unless there was a development breakthrough, energy weapons are still theoretical

More precisely, energy weapons that cause the specific set of things in Havana syndrome.

Lasers, focused ultrasound, and ADS all count in the broader category and have been developed to the level of getting tested by law enforcement and military — it's just that none of them do anything like Havana syndrome.

There is also the microwave auditory effect, but from what I've read it requires a peak (not average) power so high you'd have to hold the magnetron from a high-end microwave oven against your ear for the effect to be strong enough to do what's been reported.

(This is also why that never got developed past research: in practice it would kill people well before the sound became an annoyance).
