About 2 years ago, an isp we use for one of our operations in Canada called R… which is also a media company and an advertising company… came to us and said hey! We have this amazing new technology , all you do is geofence your competitors and then we will retarget anyone who visits their location with your web ads for as long as you want! Since they are also the isp for mobile data , they just force replaced ads for the targets web browser. (Basically they inject ads)
They also made it clear their system is not at all dependent on your phone location services or even your advertiser ID, since they are the isp and the cell provider they just use your SIM ESN to track you. ( cell towers know where their users are, with better accuracy than ever now )
It worked, but it’s darn scary. This has been around for awhile.

Most things will operate just fine with line/neutral reversal. AC motors will not run backwards; they use a phase shift capacitor [1] to ensure that they always start turning in the same direction regardless of where line is (relative to neutral) when the motor is instantaneously connected to a source of AC power.

As you say, most things run on DC, and rectifying AC to DC doesn't care about line/neutral reversal.

It does create some safety issues in certain applications as I described above.

It can cause some things to misbehave. For example, in home energy monitoring, where you clip one or more current transformers around a circuit's line conductor(s) to measure the current consumption of that circuit and connect an AC-AC transformer (to reduce it to a lower voltage, to make it suitable for export on an extra-low-voltage finger-accessible connector like a barrel plug, and so that it can be measured by an analog-to-digital converter) to the unit, so that the unit can measure voltage (and thus work out power) [2], then if line/neutral is reversed, its observation of what it thinks is line will be at the wrong point (relative to its observation of neutral) when computing the power being transferred. This will result in the device telling you that the circuit is exporting power (when it is actually importing), or vice versa.

It all depends upon the application. In most instances, line/neutral reversal is fine; and indeed with non-polarised plugs, unavoidable. However it should be avoided if possible.

These days, if they need to physically come out to disconnect/reconnect, that's their problem. Mechanisms exist so they can do this remotely; if they're not set up to do that in 2024, they can eat the costs.

Also... who cares? If there's regret and then the customer gets charged a reconnect fee, that's life. People need to learn that making decisions without thinking them through can have consequences.

I don't think ARM has much to worry about from RISC V in the near future.

RISC V is neat, I even ordered a SBC, but it's no where near refined enough for usage in anything aside from tiny IOT devices.

I do think this is the end of Windows on ARM though. To my knowledge ( I can always be wrong) ARM is suing over the chips ultimately included in WoA PCs, the Snapdragon Elite and Plus chips.

Once the dust settles, I suspect Qualcomm will just stop making those chips.

Or we live in wacky world and Qualcomm will be prevented from making anything outside of reference designs.

My grandmother didn't buy a computer until 2005, and didn't have the internet until around 2011.
It's also worth noting that WW2 by and large predates intermodal shipping containers. Apart from some experiments late in the war, the U.S. military did not use containerized shipping to any significant degree. Everything was shipped "break-bulk" which meant that every individual parcel had to be loaded/unloaded by hand every time it changed transportation mode. Also, the ships that carried these goods were tiny by modern standards. Every bit of extra volume and weight mattered much more than it does today.

Looking here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maggi#World_Wars - it sounds like Maggi wasn't acquired by Nestlé until 1947. Details unclear - but that may have been a case of "spoils of war, sold at auction". If so, then blaming Nestlé for Maggi's prior misdeeds sounds pretty dubious.

From the NYT article, I'd say Nestlé itself has at least some dirt on their hands. OTOH, that article makes no mention whatever of Switzerland's location - landlocked and totally surrounded by the seemed-to-be-winning Axis powers for almost all of WWII. Considering how <cough/> nicely the Axis occupation forces were treating most of the countries which they'd already conquered - the Swiss might have felt that making much of a fuss (over Axis misdeeds) could result their own conquest and occupation.
Syntax highlighting here can work correctly, actually.

> This would be much more effective than electric heating and likely generate less carbon emissions

Perhaps in the case of an EV using resistive heating, however, most have moved on to using heatpumps.

Heatpumps have COPs that range anywhere from 2 to 10. Which means for every 1kWh in, you get 2 to 10kWh of heat out. A resistive heater has a COP of 1.

Fossil fuel power plants operate at ~40->60% efficiency, which means that past a COP of ~2 you are going to be more efficient for heating even if your power source is directly from fossil fuels. It's sort of neat.

When talking about generation mixed grids (which most are now) the COP level needed to beat having a diesel burner for CO2 output plummets.

But one more point to consider, a modern EV needs an HVAC to ensure the proper operating temperature of a battery. The thing that killed the old Nissan Leafs was the fact that they didn't have any sort of cooling system for their batteries. Put those in hot climates and you are talking major and fast degradation.

So, it wouldn't even be (much) lighter to omit the heatpump. To convert the HVAC system for the battery into a climate system is pretty much just requires a single valve.

I didn't seem to be last I checked -- the older Kindles require the sequence:

;debugOn
~disableScreensaver
;debugOff

while newer ones only require:

~ds

I know that for some ad-supported Kindles it doesn't work unless you pay to remove the ads (for obvious reasons), but if you pay then it will.

But last I checked was a couple of years ago. I'd be very curious if anyone can report it not working. (Also note the command doesn't survive reboot, you have to re-disable after rebooting.)

Not to diminish OP’s project, but the stated goal of “know when each transit line has an upcoming train/tram/bus” is probably already achieved by https://transitapp.com/ - the default view when you open the app is a list of nearby transit lines, sorted by distance and showing the next departure for each.
It was meant to say that multiple vehicles share the same drivetrain model, not the same unit.

Full load is way too much unless you're arctic trucking. The lowest setting is plenty for my sun room until it gets below 20f or it's especially windy. This uses about a gallon in 6 hours.

But you're right, without any insulation, the moving vehicle will lose heat much faster. The room has terrible insulation but at least it has bare brick for the bottom 3 feet which probably retains a lot of the heat. I suspect with proper insulation your fuel usage would be drastically reduced.
The fact so many students are compelled to use Ai to automate the boring process of writing these papers shows how it's not about the learning but rather the credentialism.

Laudspeaker looks very useful but also a bit underbaked. For enterprise settings, you may want to consider its segmentation and journey capabilities in the context of orchestrating a suite of other tools that already are available. In our case, I’d love to use both of those features but would need native Snowflake integration and would want the Laudspeaker tools to integrate with Dagster/Airflow for deployment purposes. We have hundreds of millions of active users and send tens of billions of messages annually, across 17 or so channels, many of which are custom. The docs leave me wondering how I could integrate the tool with our existing infra.

> the last time I had cable and not just cable internet they still had someone come to hook the cable box up. Admittedly, that was fifteen years ago now.

15 years is lifetimes when it comes to technology capabilities. They world has moved on from that.

I've had techs "need" to come out for cable internet connection setup, but all they did was the exact same thing I would do myself: connect the coax, plug in the modem, and call a number to say "here's the MAC address, it's plugged in". It's such a waste of time (mine and theirs) and money (depends on if they're jackholes who charge a connection fee or if they eat the cost themselves).

Meanwhile, another cable company I subscribed to last year for internet service just mailed me a kit, with QR codes that handled activation. It didn't work right the first time, and there was a number to call; they realized the problem was on their end and fixed it quickly.
> You might see the plural busses, but that form is so rare that it seems like an error to many people. [...] When the word bus was new, the two plurals were in competition, but buses overtook busses in frequency in the 1930s, and today is the overwhelming choice of writers and editors.

That is not proof that people are getting dumber. For a start, believing stupid things is somewhat orthogonal to the number you get on an IQ test. It is not purely a test of logic and reasoning.

There have always been a large number of credulous folks. I would say that what we're seeing recently is a result of connecting those people together on the internet, which also exposes them en masse to those would would take advantage. Instead of local gossip, people are able to participate at a regional, national and global level. Before the internet, and social media in particular, the cost barrier to communicate this sort of ridiculousness was too high.

>I can lose (and am losing) weight without it

Excellent! A huge chunk of people try and fail to do this for a wide variety of reasons.

If you can lose weight without the help of a GLP-1 drug, then yeah, that is likely the safest option. But most people aren't choosing between using a GLP-1 drug to lose weight or losing weight without it - they're choosing between staying fat and using the GLP-1.

How do they compare to their original quants on ollama like q4_K_S?
Multiplying any two complex numbers 'a' and 'b' gives you a complex number z whose magnitude is the magnitude of 'a' times the magnitude of 'b' (that's covered in the article). I always thing of a 'complex conjugate' as a reflection across the real number line (i.e. has the opposite angle or 'phase'), so when a complex number and its conjugate are multiplied the angle disappears and you're left with no imaginary component, thus just the real part which IS the magnitude. (As a^2 + 0 = c^2)

I hadn't worked with complex numbers much for most of my life, but getting into quantum computing recently it is ALL complex numbers (and linear algebra). It's fascinating (for a certain mindset at least, which I guess I fall into), but it is a lot of mental work and repetition before it starts to feel in any way 'comfortable'.
This chart is about moms, but also matters for dads too.

We had our second child after 2020 and my work became remote. This would not have been possible if I were still working in the office.

Remote work not only gave me 2 hours of commute time back, but enabled me to do daycare pickups on alternate days for our first child. Allowed me more time to be involved with my family and raise our kids. Also matters financially because money spent commuting and getting lunch adds up.

I get more done and have a more flexible schedule since becoming remote. Some downsides but on the whole an improvement. For me at work, productivity is correlated with happiness and job satisfaction.

The change to remote work has been a profound positive change for me and my family. I've heard the same anecdotally from friends and colleagues.
Oh I'm sorry, I thought you'd find it funny. "X my arse" is another British idiom (but "Passival my arse" is novel). Yeah "need your head examining / looking at" are both quite common; as you say the online dictionary I linked gives it as a variant and you can confirm via quoted Google search strings that they're used.

E.g. headline in a major newspaper in 2019 https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/you-vote-ukip-tomorro...

As for whether "need your head examining" or "needs its functionality amending" are related to the examples you're giving, it sounds like you perhaps think more deeply about grammar than I do, but I would tentatively say not. Your examples are "<noun> is <present participle>", whereas "<noun> needs its <noun> <present-participle>" seems different to me.

Hello, I'm the CEO of the company that built this - E2B [0]. We're building infrastructure for AI code interpreting. Companies like Perplexity are using us.

We're using Firecrackers [1] to power our sandboxes. Funnily enough, we had this repo sitting on our GitHub for about 6 months. We originally made this for one of our customers because they were running evals on the desktop-like environment with GUI for their model.

You can use PyAutoGUI [2] to control the whole environment programmatically.

The desktop-like environment is based on Linux and Xfce [3] at the moment. We chose Xfce because it's a fast and lightweight environment that's also popular and actively supported. However, this Sandbox template is fully customizable and you can create your own desktop environment.

Let me know if you have any questions.
