I was confused by this as well. You're comparing the wrong statistic, though: 40k is for all auto deaths; pedestrian deaths due to cars is around 7500.

But still, 67 vs. 7500 is still a large gulf. If they're only expecting these new measures to reduce pedestrian deaths by about 1%, the changes don't go far enough at all.

When I first bought mine I tried to adjust the temperature in what felt like the natural way to do so, without rtfm first of course.

Then I quickly learned that I had adjusted the temperature calibration. I reverted what I had done but now I am not confident about the temperature its operating at, at all. Seems a terrible interface design.
Well, what you said about "deadliest ammo" does not make much sense -- it really makes you sound like you don't know what you're talking about. Most of the deadliest shootings have been conducted with pretty ordinary ammunition.
If you’re using the API and are on tier 4, don’t bother adding more credits to move up to tier 5. I did this, and while my rate limits increased, the o1-preview / o1-mini model still wasn’t available.

No. It's bad news, because you can't see the rationale/search process that led to the final answer, just the final answer, and if training on the final answer were really that adequate, we wouldn't be here. It also is probably massively expensive compute-wise, much more so than simple unsupervised training on a corpus of question/answer pairs (because you have to generate the corpus by search first). It's also also bad news because reinforcement learning tends to be highly finicky and requires you to sweat the details and act like a professional, while open weight stuff tends to be produced by people for whom the phrase 'like herding cats' was coined, and so open source RL stuff is usually flakier than proprietary solutions (where it exists at all). They can do it for a few passion projects shared by many nerds, like chess or Go, but it takes a long time.
Can you define "designer"? That means so many things in different fields. Like are you a web designer who knows stuff like React? A mechanical designer that would have a mechanical engineering background? Or a graphic designer thats more like an artist than an engineer?

Seeing that you're in the medical field, I'd say look towards finding a job with your relevant work experience at a company that overlaps medical with the kind of technology you're interested in (using AI to analyze patient records for example). From there, you can use whatever experience you have gained on your own (I'm assuming you've been doing little code projects at home) to sidestep into roles at that new company that better align with what you want. Then, use the company's tuition assistance to get your CS masters as it directly aligns with the work you'd be doing. Since you've been a PM and also have whatever software experience you've gained so far plus the 2 years bump from the masters, you can easily slide into a senior or lead role. You can use your PM skills while also getting your hands dirty.

Of course you could just go get your CS masters right now and then start looking at software engineer jobs with 2 years experience (assuming no prior engineering experience) but I'm guessing that could be a big pay cut for you and you'd be 40 years old competing with 22 year olds fresh out of college willing to work for nothing. Not the best idea if you've got a family to provide for.

Also, I hear you. You're having midlife crisis because you're afraid you'll be stuck in a job you don't like for the second half of your career. Don't worry. Take it slow but move decisively. Find employers that overlap your experience with your interests and navigate with purpose. Don't rush to get a master's that will do little to get you where you want. Worry about that once you've got your foot in the door.

Here's an idea: get a USB-C hub that can use auxiliary power/passthrough charging/whatever it's called:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XF5489G

Make sure it can support 100W (that one only goes to 85W).

Plug one end into your PC, one into a wall charger, and one into your soldering iron.

If you want to solder such a thing yourself, there's USB-C PD data/power splitters sold in various places (it needs to be smarter than just connecting pins, since it needs to intercept the power negotiation), but I haven't yet found a part that is advertised to handle 100W.

A retailer wouldn't want to deal with this. They would expect their distributor to weed out the fakes for them. If enough people complain about poor quality drives, you fire them. In my opinion, anyone selling these must be doing it knowingly at this point.

I think there may also be a lack of specification there. When you get more demanding and require more, the creative writing seems to be better. Like it does much better at things like sestinas. For all of those questions, there's probably a lot of unspecified criteria you could say makes an answer better or worse, but you don't, so the first solution appears adequate.

I wish we had a metric of "acceptable government waste, because we're providing a public service."

When we provide public services the goal needs to be that we provide them to everyone within a reasonable cost-basis. Too many gov't programs are the subject of budget cuts because people cry out "Waste!" when in reality the amount you save by addressing that waste undercuts the impact of the program.

There are so many basic programs where we cut people off because of "WASTE!", and we'd be better served trying to offer broad services at a base-level, and addressing individual needs more targeted.
Feels like a Mountain vs. Valley approach. Gov't programs should be Mountains that we build up with a wide-base to cover the wide needs and that we can address smaller needs with more targeted approaches. Rather than the valley approach of wide need, and we cut support based on where we think we see waste.
I’ve got some Yihua station that replaced a Weller I used for 20 years. Towards the end, the Weller kept blowing through so many expensive parts, it was cheaper to get a Yihua. Frankly, it’s been incredible and a far better experience than the Weller ever was.
So the US borrows annually around $1.6T and pays in interest almost $0.7T. That means that it's burning $0.7T yearly to increase the debt by a trillion? And the entire amount of taxes collected from corporations is less than two thirds of the interest?

I learned more than I was expecting from this.

This whole ordeal has been crazy. Glad to see some sanity prevailing at this level. Curious where the rest of the story is at. Anyone have a good primer on where things ultimately are, at this point?

We have a product analytics team where people have transitioned from being fully PM focused to being deeply data analysis oriented. It starts with using code-lite tools like Tableau and SQL queries then easily opens up into running data transform jobs with Python scheduled on a cluster.

This very accurately describes what I've been having for some time. Got laughed out of the room by a few doctors. Tests didn't find anything wrong other than an arachnoid cyst in the brain (occurs in about 1% of population, effects vary).

Ultimately, fixed it by:

1) Having a glass of water before going to bed. Having another glass at night when I wake up to pee the first one out.

2) Spending 1-2 hours before sleep time gradually relaxing. No work/exercise for 2 hours before sleeping. Minimal activity for the last 1 hour. Mostly, browsing or watching something on YouTube.

Works like a charm altogether.

The given reason that the EU officials provided when they created the tariffs are major subsidizes from the Chinese government.

Of course, I have yet to see a nation with car manufacturing that do not subsidize that industry. Tax breaks, zero interest loans, help with construction/land, and so on. It also suspected/confirmed? that intelligence agencies also helps by providing industry espionage. With them being that involved it seems that tariffs are less about market forces and more about pure politics.

(1) You can line it up side by side with the 1970 MARC standard

https://www.loc.gov/marc/

and, in terms of capabilities, MARC comes out way ahead. MARC is a standard for a university library, Dublin Core seems to be a standard that almost works for an elementary school library.

(2) Specifically, people who write a paper or a book will get prickly about the order that authors are listed in, but Dublin Core doesn't provide a good answer, particularly if you want to use authority records. I mean

:Paper
dcterms:creator "Alpher, Ralph" ;
dcterms:creator "Bethe, Hans" ;
dcterms:creator "Gamow, George " .

doesn't cut it because when you get the results back they could come back in any order. RDF has two different ways to represent ordered collections and they could have let you (required you to) write

:Paper
dcterms:creator ("Alpher, Ralph" "Bethe, Hans" "Gamow, George") .

which looks just like a Lisp list and internally is structured like one, but they didn't. In the XMP specification Larry Masinter specified that you do this

https://github.com/adobe/XMP-Toolkit-SDK/blob/main/docs/XMPS...

and boy there was a lot of good ideas in the XMP spec but Adobe wound up NERFing the implementation because Adobe was accused of throwing it's weight around too much. Sure you could write

:Paper dcterms:creator "Ralph Alpher, Hans Bethe, George Gamow" .

but that won't work if you want to use URIs that point to authority records like the DC spec advises you to do. People hear RDF and think "Nothing to see here, move on" because of standards like Dublin Core that simultaneously seem inadequate and over complicated at the same time.

Yes. The same docker commands, including docker-compose, all still work.

It just sets a new "docker context" that points to OrbStack's socket file instead. You can instantly switch back to Docker Desktop with a simple `docker context use desktop-linux` command. So it's nearly zero cost to just try it out.

$ docker context ls
NAME DESCRIPTION DOCKER ENDPOINT
default Current DOCKER_HOST based configuration unix:///var/run/docker.sock
orbstack * OrbStack unix:///Users/mdeeks/.orbstack/run/docker.sock

OrbStack had the most noticeable difference for our users who were still on Intel Macbooks. It made mine stop spinning up fans randomly.

Define hash(x) that takes an integer and returns a sector-sized hash.

Define S = claimed total number of sectors.

for(i=0; i<S; ++i) {
write_sector(i, hash(i))
for(j=0; j<=i; ++j) {
if(hash(j) != read_sector(j)) {
return i
}
}
}
return S

The above pseudo code will return the number of sectors the flash drive actually has.

That would actually be a great thing. Not because of the wasted time, but because it'll highlight silly laws that didn't need to exist.

There should not exist laws that get overlooked for normal people (most of the time except when powers that be want to harass them).

The solution is to recognize such laws didn't make any sense to begin with, and remove them. Problem solved, now nobody gets time wasted on nonsense.
