I started out getting injured just walking 2 miles. It was bad. I weighed 255 lb at start and that didnt seem like a lot but it makes sense now why I would get injured just walking around a big city like Washington DC with my family. I was out of shape. Now I can walk 6 miles a day every day (this took me 2 months to get to) without injury.

I'll take a run at why a promoting amateur radio is important.

1. Hams develop highly technical skills while interacting socially.

2. With entry low cost and no subscription fees, hams have global communication abilities without cellular, internet, and power grids.

3. Hams support community, often with important emergency comms roles during disasters, war, or search and rescue efforts.

Why parks? They're easily accessed. They're free. They're visible to newcomers who wouldn't otherwise know amateur radio could be fun and social.
Are you referring to the development cost or just the "keep SSO wired to other orgs in for our cloud product"? Development-wise, SSO standards don't change much and aren't terribly difficult to get up an running if you stick to oauth and saml.

...looking at something like this built with surface-mount parts in the modern day reads like someone trying to do high-speed rail with steam locomotives. I mean, you can do it (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LNER_Class_A4_4468_Mallard#193... !), but... please just learn to solder SMT parts. It really is easier, I promise you.

To go SMT you'll need to add fine-gauge solder wire (0.015"/0.4mm), more flux than you think you need, and either a second iron or soldering tweezers (amazing but expensive). You should add get some T4 paste, a dental pick to spread it, and a "reflow plate" (that means old electric skillet from the secondhand store). And you'll want an inspection microscope but those are really useful in general. That's all you need!

Stop building with dinosaur parts and you can use shiny new things like the LM70660 which can do that entire design in about 1/10th the space and double the reliability: https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/lm70660.pdf

One interesting thing I have noticed on tirzepatide is I am much better able to differentiate when I am thirsty vs. when I am hungry. Before, if I wasn't getting to "my mouth is dry" levels of thirst, they were indistinguishable for me.

It frequently became a guessing game for me to try and figure out which it was - did I gamble that I just needed to drink some more, and run the risk of feeling worse from what turned out to be actual hunger? Or did I just eat some food, which also included drinking more fluids, and make sure I was back to feeling OK soon after?

I can tell you which option I chose most of the time, particularly if I was busy with work or a personal project.

Now, I have a much easier time differentiating.

So what they work for Apple or Samsung, they aren't here getting advice on how Apple or Samsung manage their portfolios nor do they have any involvement in it so I'm not sure why that renders my criticism inapplicable. I'm not describing the solo inventor either, so I have no idea why you bring that up.

This entire conversation is in the context of general advice regarding patents and you are here insisting that the strategy of two of the largest companies in the world serve as model advice because some of their employees work here.

Nice share but after reading the article my existing view that the area of greater Shanghai was an agricultural area without substantial urban development until the opium wars is unchallenged.

Nice to see some familiar spots. About 21 years ago I used to go to the Jing'An temple for lunch on weekends and chat with the monks. They had excellent vegetarian food in the temple, and often the monks would buy me lunch.

Part of the problem here is a change in tax law a couple of decades back where the backlist as a bunch of printed books in a warehouse became a tax liability when Congress tried to close a tax loophole which non-publishers were exploiting.

Rather than the old model of printing a reasonable print run, selling books as demand allowed, and keeping unsold books in warehouses only paying tax as they were sold, the new laws required paying tax on inventory each year --- so any books not sold in the first year were not as profitable, hence book remaindering, and the current mess.

I don't think this is true.

Henry's, one of the compounding pharmacies, says that they get the chemicals from legitimate licensed producers of feedstock [1].

There is a compounding loophole, but there is no loophole for patent encumbrances -- if a compounding pharmacy is violating NN's intellectual property, then can just sue them directly; they don't have to pursue the regulatory crackdown they're going for now.

There are companies that do grey/black market reconstitutions, like Pivotal Peptides. But they are not compounders. The compounders are legally selling the real thing directly to customers. Do you have a specific source that indicates that any compounding pharmacy is getting its feedstock illegally from China?

> Why do they use two bits for it?

To increase the number of 16-bit instructions. Of the four possible combinations of these two bits, one indicates a 32-bit or longer instruction, while the other three are used for 16-bit instructions.

> Do they plan to support other instruction lengths in the future?

They do. Of the eight possible combinations for the next three bits after these two, one of them indicates that the instruction is longer than 32 bits. But processors which do not know any instruction longer than 32 bits do not need to care about that; these longer instructions can be naturally treated as if they were an unknown 32-bit instruction.
My only nitpick is that the const isPasswordValid = ... should be just before its use (between the first two ifs).
Other than that, I prefer this approach (although I would inline the booleans in the ifs to avoid the one-use variables. But that's ok).

> Don't use a bunch of tiny functions

Exactly this. I only do that when the function is used in more than 10 places and it provides some extra clarity (like something as clamp(minVal,val,maxVal){return max(minVal,min(val,maxVal))} if your language doesn't already have it, of course).

I also apply that to variables though, everything that is only used once is inlined unless it really helps (when you create a variable, you need to remember it in case it is used afterwards, which for me is a hard task)

“The city already has more than a dozen red light cameras that automatically ticket motorists who run the red. Since 2019, those cameras have been used to issue over 56,000 citations, according to Sernoffsky. That figure, which isn’t included in SFPD’s data on traffic citations and may help explain why citation revenue hasn’t dropped as dramatically as the moving violation totals would seem to predict, will continue to grow as the city installs more cameras.”

SF is also planning to install dozens of speed enforcement cameras.

It's hard to ignore the glimpse into the future of engineering that we're seeing here. Deterministic processes are out the door, no specs, no tolerances, no design. When did undefined behaviour become a cute thing that we're bragging about and compensating for, something to work around rather than something to understand and to fix?

It's not a big deal until you realize that software always gets stacked on software, and the only thing that ever made that complexity manageable was the fundamental assumption that it was all pretty deterministic. Of course users will sacrifice the strategic (good engineering) for the tactical (mere convenience) all day long, but the fact that so many engineers are all-in on the same short-sighted POV has been surprising to me.
What do we do about the wide scale data fraud/falsification at top conferences like NeurIPS? It’s a toss up on any paper on if their results are real or not, and like it or not, I think many authors of the papers know that and make it harder on purpose to “reproduce” their work.
>I probably should have did all along

I don't know if weight loss via calorie tracking and self control is really worthwhile if you can just do a cycle of appetite suppressant to keep weight around target baseline.

Seems like drugs have made weight management a solved problem. No reason to over think it for genpop if you can cycle drugs.

The unsolved problem is body composition -> picking right exercise regimes and diet macronutrients so you're losing more fat than muscle.

But really that should also be a solved problem if west weren't stupid about steroids and poured serious research into them.
This was ages ago, in the pre-transformer era, and I can't find the link anymore. But once upon a time I read a great paper that demonstrated that most of the performance differences being reported among popular embedding models of the time were better explained by text cleaning and tokenization than they were by the embedding model itself.

In other words, if you train a model using word2vec's preprocessing and GloVe's algorithm, the result looks more like a "standard-issue" word2vec model than a "standard-issue" GloVe model.
