It's possible to build a switch so that these 62NP tubes are interchangeable with 12AX7 (or ECC83).

Instructions in this thread:

Pins 9 and 5 of the tube socket must be galvanically disconnected from the PCB. The switch is then interposed there.
Rust structs are in some ways similar to C++ classes. You can combine data and methods together with them without worrying about things like function pointers.
No. It is in fact completely normal and has been repeated many times in human history. A unit based on an arbitrary fraction of the distance from the north pole to the equator is quite a bit more odd when you think about it.
Disagree, previous commenter specifically said - paraphrase - "Academia (researchers) is MORE tribal (≈ incentive structured) than companies (office and blue-collar workers)".

This specific, comparative argument is used by industry and conservatives to undermine academics and progressives, it is very prevalent on Hacker News when they shit on academics. It has zero to do with the replication crisis which you mentioned, or "publish-or-perish", or the neoliberalization of academia - which as an ex-academic leftist I am very well aware of and have been materially harmed by it.

There is a nuanced distinction between the two forms of argument. The former is a prevalent bad take on Hacker News by folks who unilaterally shit on academia, saying things like "industry is actually more innovative" and other half-baked nonsense like that.

I know the reason why the NWS website is so crummy is because they deliberately don’t want to compete with commercial sites. But I have really wanted an app that presents the same data. The NWS website is mobile unfriendly. Thanks for sharing!
It boils down to who have the right and what the exceptions are.

Sometimes I found it funny seeing people feeding fish to octopus, calming they are sentiment, and supporting abortion.

Surely no sane person would think "Octopus > Baby > Fish". We are just inconsistent, and never admit we are that inconsistent.
For four years people have called it an armed insurrection, but if Trump won the popular vote this year, and the authority to rule flows from the people, then clearly the people support the "insurrection." My mother in law HATES Trump and thinks the popular vote was "hacked," and I know that's a fairly popular opinion among anti-populists--is that one of your priors?
I like his other two talks better than this one.

I find "this worked for me once at Etsy when we were a 20 person team" not a very convincing argument. That does not mean I think he's wrong. Just that the conclusion needs better arguments.

One argument that comes to mind is: If you treat people like children, they will start behaving like children. Treat people as adults if you want them to shoulder responsibility.

The main message of this talk is that when a designer tried to deploy a fix into production and it blew up production, they realized he had the wrong kind of permissions and their solution was to give him full deployment permissions.

Well, great if that worked for you.
It might or might not work for others.

I would recommend not letting anybody deploy to production. You can deploy to staging, then tests are run, and only after those all pass can anyone deploy to production.

Also, the current process is not just the result of ego. It is also the result of evolution. We usually take steps to prevent things from happening because they have blown up in the past and we would like to not have that happen again.
Amazon FSx for Lustre Now Supports Elastic Fabric Adapter and GPUDirect Storage
I find it hard to believe that anything like this will be feasible or effective beyond a certain level of complexity. It seems like a willful denial of the complexity and ambiguity of natural language, and I am not looking forward to some poor developer trying to reason their way out of a two-hundred-step paradox that was accidentally created.

And for a use-case simple enough for this system to work (e.g. regurgitate a policy), it seems like the LLM is unnecessary. After all, if your system can perfectly interpret the question and answer and see if this rule set applies, then you can likely just use the rule set to generate the answer rather than wasting resources with a giant language model.
I think live attenuated vaccines produce a stronger and more durable immune response than inactivated vaccines.
Zitron doesn't offer much that you have to believe. His article links to numerous facts and reports. The physics of GPUs and data centers don't rely on one's beliefs. The amounts of money spent on AI versus the non-existent profits don't require belief, just looking at financial reports.

The AI industry has cited "scaling laws" to justify the huge spending on AI, promising magic results just around the corner because of scaling. Zitron just shows that hasn't happened and that physics and economics will impose limits on scaling, likely long before the promised AGI or massive productivity gains from AI materialize.

Newer and more sources of electricity only possibly address the environmental/climate damage from AI data centers. The problems come from power consumption and cooling, not from lack of windmills or batteries. If the thought leaders in charge of spending hundreds of billions on new data centers thought renewable energy would solve the problems they wouldn't talk about building nuclear power plants.
There's an easy fix to this. Just use a bit of the savings from your ad-subsidized TV to buy a Chromecast. The continuous HDMI input makes it look like the TV is never idle (so it can't show ads), and when the Chromecast itself is idle it just shows you pictures from your photo albums instead of ads, and you still have a smart TV
Technically the other is a dupe - this one was submitted two days earlier.

Indeed, the coin toss explanation "Catharine" uses on the Simon copies is merely a manipulation to ensure he continues following her instructions so that the ARK is launched, obscured to the player by the necessary mechanic of always controlling the surviving Simon copy.

They did not have to kill the squirrel [1]. First, rabies is extremely rare in squirrels and there are no documented cases of squirrel to human rabies transmission in the US ever.

Second, if a squirrel (or raccoon) does have rabies it will show symptoms within 10 days and die not too long after. The guy had the squirrel for seven years and had the raccoon for much longer than 10 days.

What's crazy to me is how we have all these random unenforced laws on the books.

Torvalds wants open drivers, and NVidia doesn't do that. NVidia's drivers are better than their competitors by enough to make it worth buying NVidia even when their hardware is objectively worse, so much as I would prefer open-source in principle, I can understand why they don't want to give away the crown jewels.

You could have asked ChatGPT (or Google) to explain that to you.
If you care about the experience of your co-workers, you won't repeatedly break stuff. (Or if you do, it's because your tooling hasn't scaled enough to keep up; you need a staging area or precommit hooks or whatever.) If you know you're trusted to do your job, you will work to maintain that trust.

But things need to be architected for trust. If you have lots of rigid processes, then there's no use for manually executed tools that will only be used if someone decides to use them. People will lean on the process, and every time something goes wrong, the process will be "improved" (as in, catch one more potential issue, at the cost of taking longer and catching two more non-issues and making people batch up their changes more, causing more conflicts, etc.) In a high-trust environment, people will use the manual tools when appropriate, and so there's incentive for architecting things such that the results of those tools and processes is useful. Tests are more likely to test real things. Staging environments will be made to better reflect prod.

If people care about it, they'll make it work. If they don't, they'll make it "work".

But yes, I agree that as you scale up, more and more things will get missed and you'll need to balance things out. It's just so, so common to go too far in the rigid low-trust direction.

People are so terrified that something might go wrong that they'll do things that end up making sure that something will go wrong. It'll be something later, or somebody else's problem, or whatever.
Regardless of what you do after you catch it, this is a wonderful way to catch an animal in your home.
Cloudflare's developer domains increasingly abused by threat actors
I think it's less that gamers have decided it's the "endgame" and more that current gen games at good framerates at 4k require significantly more money than 1440p does, and at least to my eyes just running at native 1440p on a 1440p monitor looks much better than running an internal resolution of 1440p upscaled to 4k, even with DLSS/FSR - so just upgrading piecemeal isn't really a desirable option.

Most people don't have enough disposable income to make spending that extra amount a reasonable tradeoff (and continuing to spend on upgrades to keep up with their monitor on new games).
> only build a SINGLE reactor unit after decades of building nothing

Nope.

The most recent nuclear reactor (Civaux-2) was delivered in France in 1999.

The project aiming at building an EPR in France (Flamanville) started in 2004, and it was a work-in-progress on the field in 2007. Where are those "decades"?

Moreover an EPR was sold to Finland before, and work started in 2005.

Then a pair was sold to China.

Then another pair to the U.-K.

All 6 are very late and have huge overcosts.

If those 6 are in your opinion a "SINGLE reactor" let's swap my single dollar for your six bucks.

Not to count attempts to stem other projects (even in France, at Penly) by offering it to India, Slovenia, USA through UniStar Nuclear, Czech Republic, United Arab Emirates... The prospect weren't thrilled by patent problems at then ongoing projects.

There was a tangible will. As usual this isn't sufficient to succeed.
> Surely this is some marked up price for insurance?

Maybe. But they’ll absolutely try to get you to pay the full price. They might also demand payment up front. In either case you might be able to pay less if you negotiate, but maybe not.

If you’re insured you’ll pay between $0 and the full price of the discounted insurance rate (which this may already be close to—it depends where the numbers come from) depending on the insurance plan you have and how exactly it’s already been used. If you’ve already spent a lot of money “out-of-pocket” this year, you may have hit a limit that triggers 100% from insurance until the year’s up, usually a calendar year (try not to split a pregnancy over two calendar years…)

Then there’s whether the hospital’s in-network for your insurance, and maybe separately whether the doctors are and whether any testing facilities used are—that is, whether the insurance will pay for service from these providers (which may sure look to you like just one provider-entity, but might not be) at all. Sometimes almost nothing is in-network once you’re more than a couple hundred miles from home (and plenty within that radius might not be either), depends on the plan.

[edit] oh and if you ask anyone involved what you are going to have to pay, they’ll treat you like a moron. If you persist, they’ll send you on a wild goose chase of paperwork and billing codes and talking to more people who act like you’re a moron for thinking that was a reasonable question. You probably won’t ever figure it out, just have to wait for the bill. And then the inexplicable second bill. Then three more bills scattered over the rest of the year, two for entities you can’t identify without some phone calls, usually without even specifying on the bill WTF they’re asking you to pay for.
Telcos Struggle to Boot Chinese Hackers from Networks
They wouldn't be "forced to continue living like that." They'd be free to seek opportunity anywhere in the world. (Unlike today, where North Koreans are literally the only people in the world who are not allowed to leave their country.)

Remember that much of the reason North Korea is the way it is currently, is due to active suppression of many types of economic activity that would otherwise be happening naturally. There's a lot of economic "potential energy" in NK waiting to be unleashed — e.g. many NK entrepreneurs currently doing grey-market activity while hiding from the regime, who'd love to become reputable businesses and market their services in the open; many NK workers who'd love to take jobs in the inevitable call centers SK would build there (NK would instantly become to SK as the Philippines is to the US — a country full of native speakers of your language, that you can put in front of phones); etc.

Also, probably one of the first things to happen, as soon as it was allowed to happen, would be that North Korean land-owners would sell their land to South Korean farming conglomerates (at ridiculously low prices); those farming conglomerates would then come in and apply modern agriculture practices, and be growing 100x more food within the year than the NK farmers were able to grow on the same land area.

Yes, by default those SK agro-businesses would be growing for export ("extraction economy"), because SK could pay far more than NK could for the produce. But the NK government could just tax that economic activity — it's not an SK business, after all, but an NK-incorporated subsidiary of an SK business, subject to NK laws. The NK government could then use the tax revenue to turn around and buy the food grown by those businesses, to distribute it in social welfare programs. (Or they could just levy taxes directly in the form of produce, ala historical agrarian-economy taxation systems.)

(Interestingly, there should also be at least some things you can grow cheaply in NK but not SK, due to the latitude difference. SK is parallel to Spain/Greece; while NK is parallel to France/Northern Italy. Agro-businesses love expanding into these alternative growing regions to expand their TAM.)

All these positive things would happen quickly and easily (i.e. within a 3-year period), just by converting North Korea into a capitalist-market-economy + social-welfare state and enabling free trade between NK and SK (and between NK and everywhere else, too.)

Teaching tends to be low pay/high effort. K12 education is about classroom management first and subject matter second. You will need specialized education to teach public school. Post-secondary is badly broken with the majority of open positions being non-tenure track and/or adjunct. You end up getting no benefits and low pay and have to teach at multiple schools to cobble together a sub–middle class income. You will also need a graduate degree, preferably a PhD.

Sage Announces End of EAS Endec Production

The issue is that the federal government requires broadcast stations (and local authorities) to use a certified EAS box. Currently, there's only one available option, and software solutions are not permitted. A lot is riding on these boxes.

Without them, stations will be required to go off the air if the equipment becomes inoperable. They're not allowed to operate without a certified EAS box. Also, no new stations can be established.

The 'AM in all vehicles' argument may become moot, since emergency alerting is the primary rationale.

Transition into product management, if you have good people skills, you're naturally a consensus-builder, and you're a jack-of-all-trades type that enjoys talking to design, sales, legal, customers, etc.

The traditional routes to PM are from engineering, design, or an MBA -- so you'll be taking one of the classic paths. Basically try to unofficially take on PM-type responsibilities in your current role. And then they either realize you're good at it and make it official, or you interview for an official PM job somewhere else and explain that while it wasn't your official title, it's what you were effectively doing.
At a sane price? The Epsons.

https://epson.com/For-Work/Scanners/Photo-and-Graphics/Epson...

It has a white panel on the inside of the lid which ruins a lot of scans. I always put black card on top of my scans.

That's probably the best scanner for photos. And I used to own a $25K Hasselblad too.

Make sure you clean the platten and the photos before scanning to save hassle later on dust removal.

I used those Epsons for scanning tens of thousands of old photos.

Start with a good scan, and there is so much good post-processing software out there now to help correct fading etc on old images.
> They can't just slap more memory on the board, they would need to dedicate significantly more silicon area to memory IO and drive up the cost of the part,

In the pedantic sense of just literally slapping more on existing boards? No, they might have one empty spot for an extra BGA VRAM chip, but not enough for the gain's we're talking about. But this is absolutely possible, trivially so for someone like Intel/AMD/NVidia, that has full control over the architectural and design process. Is it a switch they flip at the factory 3 days before shipping? No, obviously not. But if they intended this to be the case ~2 years ago when this was just a product on the drawing board? Absolutely. There is 0 technical/hardware/manufacturing reason they couldn't do this. And considering the "entry level" competitor product is the M4 Max which starts at at least $3,000 (for a 128GB equipped one), the margin on pricing more than exists to cover a few hundred extra in ram and extra overhead in higher-layer more populated PCB's.

The real impediment is what you landed on at the end there combined with the greater ecosystem not having support for it. Intel could drop a card that is, by all rights, far better performing hardware than a competing Nvidia GPU, but Nvidia's dominance in API's, CUDA, Networking, Fabric-switches (NVLink, mellanox, bluefield), etc etc for that past 10+ years and all of the skilled labor that is familiar with it would largely render a 128GB Arc GPU a dud on delivery, even if it was priced as a steal. Same thing happened with the Radeon VII. Killer compute card that no one used because while the card itself was phenomenal, the rest of the ecosystem just wasn't there.

Now, if intel committed to that card, and poured their considerable resources into that ecosystem, and continued to iterate on that card/family, then now we're talking, but yeah, you can't just 10X VRAM on a card that's currently a non-player in the GPGPU market and expect anyone in the industry to really give a damn. Raise an eyebrow or make a note to check back in a year? Sure. But raise the issue to get a greenlight on the corpo credit line? Fat chance.
