Red Pitaya has the same problem almost every other board like it has: it is completely impossible for it to transport the full firehose of data to and from the computer. Since you absolutely must decimate the data to and from the ADCs and DACs, you will have to become an expert in doing DSP on FPGA, wrestling a huge state machine that implements some semblance of Ethernet, etc. You spend literally all of your effort to transform and transport the data before the software that you want to process it can even touch it. It's an absolutely stupid waste of time and effort.

Honestly, it'd be great to have more physical zine-style humor back in the US zeitgeist.

It's important to laugh at the issues of the day, while also thinking and doing something about them.

Satire and laughter is a critical antidote to the 24/7 BREAKING-NEWS panic-fear response that all-day news so often inspires.

I prompted chatgpt to make it more human and casual:

huge props on launching! Seriously love how you’ve brought back the whole Ohlife vibe but made it way easier with WhatsApp. No apps or sign-ups? Genius. Plus, those daily reminders and little throwbacks? Such a nice touch—perfect for sparking some good ol’ nostalgia. You can totally see how much you care about this, and I’m hyped to see how people, especially the Ohlife fans, will dig it. Wishing you all the luck with it!

I personally wouldn't have realized the above was written by AI. YMMV

My point is, "reinforcement learning" to make it not sound like AI is a little bit pointless at this point, IMHO.
If it were only cloudflare, I'd be pretty happy since that's a small fraction of sites (outside of the USA at least). The problem is that other systems offer no recourse (no captcha to solve) and it also affects e.g. being able to pay for stuff. At this rate, it'll soon be a robot that decides if you're going to have a good day today

Sounds like some legitimate points. What exactly do you mind about these?

Positives upfront:

I appreciate that the article is trying to describe a complex topic, and many of the issues described are shared by us here in the US. It does cite different statistics of other nations as comparisons, and calls out that access to jobs, ease of movement, and housing are all things that help make countries wealthy.

Now for the downsides.

I feel like this article maintains a tone throughout that I might describe as "dismissive nationalism." The comparison against France is preceded by a paragraph that, due to the framing, is presented as ludicrous, proceeds to describe all of the things France does better, and then somehow still makes the claim that Britain has "many advantages." Perhaps that's intended in a vacuum, but with how hard it's pushing for private investment (to the extent that it touts all that earlier infrastructure in Britain as "built by a total of 1,116 private companies" and that it describes the State's role as functionally just exercising eminent domain), it's hard to overlook.

And while the underlying paper is discussing foundational, long-term effects, that there isn't a single mention of Brexit in the article feels stark in contrast to the conclusory statement by the paper's authors of "it is vital that Britain should once more have the strength and self-belief of 1939 with which to play its part in the leadership of the free world."

I'm not an expert in economics (as my critique above might have clued you in), but I do think it's important to be careful in which experts you choose to listen to. I also don't know the biases that this particular publication or the underlying paper subscribe to.

I may try read the Foundations paper (https://ukfoundations.co/ - it's not that long), but if this article is summarizing well and is all, then it feels "too shallow." What's the underlying mechanism that got them to that state? If the proposed solution is "allowing more private investment," then what about all of the social shifts that happened in the meantime? NIMBYism is brought up as "logical" given the incentives at one point, but I'd argue it's fundamentally a social issue, related to a perceived quality of life and a lack of perception of a larger group as being part of "your community."

I digress.

Thanks for sharing the link, and I hope others with more of an economic / politics background might have more fruitful critique.
Very cool. Something similar is Streamline Analyst [1]. It automates preprocessing and model development from an uploaded dataset.

This is great for a more technical user (or student) who want to parse generated code and hack away. Instead [1] generates a dashboard app which is faster to use, but sacrifices interpretability.

Rescaling usually doesn't work well because the MagSafe portion is static between all sizes. Hence, every custom sizing needs a custom re-design.

you say:

> the practical effect being that the well off were already advantaged. ... In both instances a class perpetuates itself.

by contrast, the article says:

> You could be a farmer, and then you took the exam, you succeeded, and then you became an official. So in that sense, it’s not social mobility, it is political mobility.

> Ilari Mäkelä: But there was genuine political mobility.

> Yasheng Huang: Oh, absolutely.

> Ilari Mäkelä: How would you convince a skeptic of that?

> Yasheng Huang: Very easily. Again, going back to our earlier conversation about data, this is not something you can just use stories to illustrate. You kind of have to use statistics and data. An earlier historian, Ping-ti Ho 何炳棣 who really pioneered research on the keju showed that it was meritocratic. There are later historians who study keju, and they say, “Oh, so-and-so came from a prominent family, and he also succeeded. He got promoted.” But the problem with that is, how do you know it is the prominent family part that contributed to his mobility? Maybe he was extremely smart.

> I’m not saying that the second view is necessarily wrong, but all I’m saying is that just telling that story itself is not convincing enough to make your point. In my work with Clair Yang from the University of Washington, we ran statistical tests to determine the effect of family backgrounds on exam performance. Whether or not you came from a rich family, whether or not you came from a politically prominent family, your father was a government official, your grandfather was a government official. Statistically, if that background influenced your exam score, we should be able to see it. We should be able to detect that effect in the statistical results we generate.

> Indeed, because you had three rounds, in the first two rounds that were anonymized, we didn’t see any effect of family backgrounds on exam scores. That’s quite impressive — going back to the 6th century, 7th century, 9th century, and 13th centuries — that your backgrounds didn’t influence your exam scores.

We have an amazing global experiment where we can watch different forms of governance succeed and fail. One of democracy's greatest failings is the slow creep of bureaucracy. The elevation of the self over society inexorably leads to a state where regulation and special interest groups strangle progress.

It's a nice piece of classical control theory. No neural nets, just old-style Laplace transforms. This approach might be useful for wheeled devices such as pallet jacks. Those are pushed around by humans, but some have power assist. If you could just push the thing around, but it felt much lighter than it was, that would be useful.

> I rather think the cause is that inbound bandwidth is usually free, so they need maybe 1/100th of the money because requests are smaller than responses (plus discounts they get for being big customers)

Seems like there's the potential to take advantage of this for a semi-custom protocol, if there's a desire to balance costs for serving data while still making things available to end users. We'd have the server reply to the initial request with a new HTTP response instructing the client to re-request with a POST containing an N-byte (N = data size) one-time pad. The client can receive this, generate random data (or all zeros, up to the client); and the server then will send the actual response XOR'd with the one-time pad.

Upside: Most end users don't pay for upload; if bot operators do, this incurs a dollar cost only to them. Downside: Increased download cost for the web site operator (but we've postulated that this is small compared to upload cost), extra round trip, extra time for each request (especially for end users with asymmetric bandwidth).

Eh, just a thought.
Table transfer protocols: improved Arrow Flight and alternative to Iceberg
The main way tech companies undermine democracy is by manipulating and censoring online speech. These platforms are the most influential ones today, and if some speech is not allowed on them or made less visible, it might as well not exist. Free speech is foundational to democracies, and the fact that this civil liberty is basically outsourced and controlled by private platforms is a serious issue.

As for this article - it makes claims that these companies are funding “far right” movements based on a report from a trade union organization, but it is not clear what exactly is “right” at all, let alone “far right”. Sure, pro union policies are more aligned with the left but trying to paint Amazon or Google as being “anti abortion” is utterly laughable and undermines the credibility of the linked report and articles. These are companies whose employees and leaders are almost entirely left-leaning and are known for having pervasive progressive political culture. And for the record, lobbying and corporate influence are issues across the whole spectrum.
Cool article. Thanks for putting Coroot to the test!

"Opt-in" means that the default is off, and it is optional to the user, if they wish to take action to opt-in to sharing/communications.

"Opt-out" seems like what you mean, where a legitimate interest makes them default to sharing, and you are doubtful whether a "Reject all" opt-out will affect those settings?

> There are some consumer protections that I really do wish we imported into the U.S., especially food safety and chemical usage.

It's always shocking when you find that some brand-name product tastes different in the EU because an ingredient used elsewhere is not considered apt for human consumption here.

After living a few years in The Netherlands, a lot of Argentinian candy has a faint taste of something kinda chemical. A few others who've moved here expressed perceiving the same flavour.

My guess so far is that living in Argentina we're continuously exposed to whatever this ingredient and become desensitised to it. When we live abroad for enough years, we become sensitive to it again.
The sitemap.xml spec already has fields for indicating the last time a page was changed and how often it's expected to change in the future, so that search engines can optimize their updates accordingly, but AI scrapers tend to disregard that and just download the same unchanged page 10,000 times for the hell of it.

MAD was one of the first pieces of humor I truly fell in love with. I knew about comedy before it, but I don’t know that I really understood comedy before it.

It’s not that it was perfect; it’s that I grew up with it and came of age with it. Also, my immigrant parents didn’t get it, so I was able to enjoy it on my own and it was my first taste of figuring out what I find funny, rather than laughing when other people did.

Trusting something as private as my personal diary to 3rd party sounds like a scary idea from a privacy point of view. Imagine someone hacking this site, exposing your very private information.

I wish there was something like that end-to-end encrypted. You are already using E2E encryption for the communication channel (WhatsApp). I wish there was a hookup to store the same data without breaking down the chain of encryption. WhatApp should look into that. Something like ProtonDrive connected to WhatsApp and APIs.
This was a very predictable result, correctly predicted by climate activists 10 years ago that were shouted down by the grocer lobbies and the faux greenwashing climate "activists" that accused them of stopping "progress". It was so easy to see:

- meaningless 5 cent bag surcharge that no one would notice other than the initial outrage, and not enough to fund anything meaningful about plastic waste removal at scale

- much heavier plastic bags

- no incentive for consumer behavior to change

Like, what else did they expect other than plastic waste to increase?

I do agree that getting to read entries from your past is quite magical and has to be experienced to really understand it.

Fantastic that you've set it up for yourself.
Yes, I thoroughly believe that behaviors can be coordinated without explicit agreements. That is essentially what the entire field of economics is about: decomposing how people respond to different incentives to act in an "agglomerated" fashion.

The thing I hate about articles like this one, and claims like "look at the shady stuff McKinsey has done" is that they never really even attempt to provide evidence about how the incentives around propping up com. real estate values would be enough to sway decision makers. They just try to tie some loose threads together, and use scary terms like "elites" as if all of the elites acted with one mind.

There have been plenty of comments elsewhere in this thread making the argument that the connection between com. real estate values and people making the actual RTO decisions is far too tenuous to have that be a primary motivator. Also, having been a director and had lots of interactions with C-suite folks, I find it laughable to think that of all the concerns high-level execs have that "helping the stock portfolios of other rich people" is their primary driver.
I've hear someone from Amsterdam tell how they bought a house with mortgage. They expanded the mortgage with a few years. The previous owner did the same.

In theory, with parametric design (eg OpenSCAD, Autodesk Inventor, etc) a model could allow you to enter the phone dimensions and it automatically re-calculates the correct geometry.

I use a less risky/shady version of the MagisTV app with Stremio [1] and the Torrentio extension [2]. Stremio is available legally on the Play Store, and I installed it on my Chromecast with Google TV/Android phone/Windows PC, it's awesome. The shady part is installing the Torrentio extension.

This setup allows you to stream pirated movies and series with a clean UI. You can search for movies in a IMDB-like database, save them to watch later using the library feature, add subtitles, select streaming quality, and the extension syncs with your Stremio account, so you only need to install it once and it works across all your devices. I suspect this might get shut down soon due to legal pressure. MagisTV offers live TV, sports, and more, so the pressure from corporations is even greater.

Of course, if your ISP monitors you for pirated content, you could get into trouble if you don't use a VPN. However, in my country, it's not a big deal since a lot of people use torrents. Piracy is likely more common in South America compared to the US or Europe.

It's fascinating to me (as a non-mathematician) the breadth of what's interesting in mathematics. e.g. here obviously you could have some equation to describe such a shape if you needed it to model a building roof or something, but more than that it's actually apparently useful to mathematicians to 'learn from nature' etc. in the reverse, drawing inspiration from such things that then have whatever application in some obscure (perhaps, or to me) corner of mathematical research.
If you are afraid of that you should see the CMD.EXE scripts that Copilot writes. For that matter, copilot has a habit of making long bulleted lists so instead of just telling you to make a configuration change in settings it will also tell you how to do it with REGEDIT and the policy editor.
