> When the brake is activated, the most recent data is stored into memory and SawStop can download the data from the activated cartridge. This data is very important to our continuing research and development program. If SawStop’s engineers verify the activation was due to contact with skin, you will receive a free replacement cartridge. If you are unsure why the cartridge activated, you can also ship the cartridge for analysis to SawStop’s service engineers. When the cartridge data is downloaded, we then can determine what specifically caused the brake to activate so that further unintended activations can be prevented. The brake cartridge evaluation is free of charge the shipping of the brake cartridge is paid for by the customer.

I don't want to be harsh but suppliers killing the product you're trying to build around isn't that unusual. It's horrible, and you should 100% stop working with them next time, but it happens. I'm really not surprised they killed Tofino. It's a cool architecture but I don't think there's an interesting market for Intel here, at this time. And if we remove the Tofino stuff from this article, is there much left...? I don't think killing Tofino is particularly relevant to Gelsinger being "wrong" or "right" for Intel.
Well, index funds vote in accordance with a published policy like https://corporate.vanguard.com/content/dam/corp/advocate/inv...

So the boards don't have totally unchecked power. But despite that policy being 22 pages long, it doesn't pay any attention to companies' individual circumstances.

Vanguard's voting policy doesn't have an opinion on EA's lootboxes, or Intel's 18A node, or Disney's approach to Star Wars.
This is a great answer. Pat is not a wartime CEO. He could have been fantastic for Intel if the company was somewhat healthy and the competition was not so fierce.
It’s not that hard to reverse engineer anything you know about. You know, there is FPGA, there is PCIe, FPGA model is also known. All externals interfaces are also known. High probability, that the board is not broken.

Imagine obscure motherboard, produced 25-30 years ago. No current colleague has seen it before. Half designed internally, other half circuits licensed. All the ICs met very aggressive thermal glue and their names are gone. The client is to ready to pay anything for the repair. They sent you crate full of broken boards. That’s where real reverse engineering starts.
> Five simultaneous axis is unlikely for hobby anytime soon since it is export controlled ;)

Actually, you can order a cheap Genmitsu CNC, the RATTMMOTOR 5-axis upgrade, and the BIGTREETECH SKR 3 EZ controller board from China. GrblHAL is a suitable open-source firmware. And Fusion 360 will happily create the toolpaths.

So I don't understand which part is export controlled.
He doesn't mention it's a RS485 I/O card meant to fit into an CEC expansion box in a Z14 mainframe.

Found part number 98Y6848 looking this way, which seems like an updated (or maybe just renumbered) version of this.

The tiny minority of people who want this do not form a market large enough to bear the amortized engineering and manufacturing cost of adding those niche features.

Imagine somebody asking for phones that have a built-in Swiss army knife because there is a (tiny) segment of the market who would benefit from it.

Before it makes sense to integrate these features to the phone, you would expect to see a thriving ecosystem of third-party external dongles providing the same, for example.

The market is not more diverse because there is no money to be made by making it more diverse. You underestimate the cost just as much as you overestimate the size of the market segment that wants those features.
It does, to -2 decimal places :)

I immediately put a transparent case around my device as soon as I get it and put a screen guard on it as well. My wife mocks me saying that it totally kills the device's looks but considering how integral having a functioning phone at all times is to... well, existing (and accessing any Govt. service in my country), I take the hit in aesthetics for extra durability.

Observe a young person using their phone. They constantly multitask, rapidly switching between apps like Safari, camera, TikTok and YouTube. Unlike older generations who associate "heavy" apps with desktop software like Photoshop, today's mobile users experience app heaviness through frequent transitions between different apps, most of which are optimised poorly. While an iPhone 16 might be microseconds faster than the 15 at opening an app, processing a picture from the camera or loading a page, these small increments significantly accumulate throughout daily use.

I've worked in one of the prototype laboratories of one of the biggest electronics companies in the world where we actually developed communication equipment.

Yes, but that is true for basically every consumer product. Cars, electronics, you name it.

"You can buy old restored/refurbished thing cheaper than a cheap brand new thing" is hardly a very insightful take.

Does that mean that there is no market for "cheap brand new thing"?

According to https://www.state.gov/foreign-language-training/ french is one of the easier languages for L1 english speakers; if you've been doing over a year and aren't at least at A2/B1 comprehension it sounds like an edutaining waste of time.

(if you look around Alliance Française or similar might offer an online quiz that'll give you a rough idea of where you are on the A1/A2/B1/B2/C1/C2 scale; less formally just look for francophone content online and seek out something just above your current level.

Yes? Basically half of them? Some people put federation in decentralised group, some say only distributed is decentralised.

In short: centralised = 1 owner/operator, federated = many semi-autonomous operators to choose from, decentralised/distributed = everyone's an operator on the same level.

With DNS you still have groups of operators who can tell you what to do and they have the main agencies on top of that. I subscribe to the "it's not really decentralised" view.
> but in this case the author appears to be using it in the sense of "shareholders aren't getting a cut" so in this particular article it isn't a problem

That would be exactly the same. "Healthcare companies" always get a cut, no matter how "natural" the substance is, for all definitions of natural that you can think of, because healthcare companies get a cut of everything that is even minimally active, FDA or not. In fact, there are big pharma companies that literally profit from selling water (Boiron, but plenty of others). Even if you define "natural" exactly as "something pharma companies don't currently profit from" (a very misleading definition), that definition is going to be uselessly ephemeral as pharma is sure to profit from it as soon as it becomes minimally popular.

Therefore, it is again a useless, diffuse definition that is often used simply to indicate whatever the author fancies today.
The point you’re missing is urgency. Convincing the board is also an important part of the CEOs job. They need to use all the tools at their disposal. They have to build the necessary relationships to smoothen out the board approvals for their plans. Better yet, they could reach out to major shareholders, pitch their plan to them, and use their influence to get the board in line. There is more than one way to achieve this. Pat must have tried some of this but didn’t succeed.

> The emphasis on preserving raw HTML proved vital when Tagesschau repeatedly altered their newsticker DOM structure throughout Q2 2020. This experience underscored a fundamental data engineering principle: raw data is king. While parsers can be rewritten, lost data is irretrievable.

I've done this before keeping full, timestamped, versioned raw HTML. That still risks shifts to javascript based things but keeping your collection and processing distinct as much as you can so you can rerun things later is incredibly helpful.

Usually, processing raw data is cheap. Recovering raw data is expensive or impossible.

As a bonus, collecting raw data is usually easier than collecting and processing it, so you might as well start there. Maybe you'll find out you were missing something, but it's no worse than if you'd tied things together.

NTA but the study is pointless. Miniscule natural fluctuations of testosterone don’t increase sexual desire. The average fluctuation was 14.25 ng/dl. The subjects were aged 18-26. The average testosterone for this age range is probably around 500-700 ng/dl, so that’s a <3% fluctuation at the lower end. It’s minuscule.

They should have structured it by doing things that purposefully elevate testosterone naturally, that way the fluctuations would have been greater.
I find that businesses that bill themselves as ${TOOL}-users instead of ${PROBLEM}-solvers are, as a general rule, problematic. I couldn't possibly care any less whether a product is built on AI or a clever switch statement or a bazillion little gnomes doing the work by hand. I care that it solves a problem.

AI does need to die. Not so much because LLMs are bad, but rather because, like "big data" and "blockchain" and many other buzzwordy tools before it, it is a solution looking for a problem.
You don’t need to be a technical engineer to be a good leader.

You can't. It will loose OS support in seconds! Then next update of your essential app will stop working as it needs the newer OS. Also the battery is fused to the screen or what and cannot keep up with the AI assisted emojis needs coming in with a random software update.
It is really interesting because I have been using LLMs a lot for reading legalese documents. At least in the realm of Legal matters we already have this dynamic of "people make overly wordy and bloated LAWYER generated content and other people try to use LAWYERS to compress it back into useful pellet"

So at least for legal documents this LLM craze is a big improvement! It is much harder to out-spend other people on LAWYER stuff now.
People say want smaller phones that fit in their pockets -- myself included. But are they willing to accept the much lower battery life, the smaller text on the screen, and the reduced real estate on the screen?

It doesn’t need to be most people. All it takes is a small number of people annoying you disproportionately (calling in the middle of the night) to precipitate a change.

Try doing tech support in any serious capacity for any moderately popular piece of consumer software. There are always “power users” who understand enough to poke around but not enough to follow their investigation to the end. As soon as they find the first place in the chain with a contact (email, phone, forum), they’ll contact it and lambast the person on the other end for all their problems. Just ask the curl developer.
It didn't work for me. I spent ~2 years trying to learn German and all I managed to retain are a bunch of nouns, verbs and adjectives. I am still unable to speak properly, let alone read a newspaper article. I suspect that the Duolingo "teaching style" does not work for me. It also depends on the objectives, since I was more interested in some kind of fluency as opposed to being able to read or write in German.

Metamine had a amazing demo[1], which is only still with us on the Internet Archive. I've fawned over it before[2], but suffice it to say it was a normal programming language plus a magical equals which kept the left side of an assignment updated after the fact, for the life of the program. (Along with the normal non-magical one)

The amazing part is that the author, Ymte Jan Broekhuizen, had coherent rules figured out for mixing declarative and imperitive programming. Figuring those out is a minor miracle in my mind.

Yeah, they would totally ignore their customer just like that one did.

Unfortunately, providing proper support and protecting own customers in digital realm is an unsustainable business practice for most registrars.

You can not think of a single problem anarchy might have?
Ah, I see. That's not due to the Chromium version though, it's because the Chromium that comes with Qt releases (which is what's shipped in qutebrowser releases) is built without proprietary codec support.

Unfortunately, support for proprietary codecs like MP4 and such requires building Qt from sources, and would also require me to acquire licenses for them all (I believe they're free until a certain number of distributions, but also with all the indirect ways you can get qutebrowser, I can hardly even provide that information).

This isn't an issue on Linux, because those licenses have some sort of exception in the sense of "if shipped with an operating system or its packages".

Homebrew seems to build its Qt packages against system ffmpeg with proprietary codecs enabled, and there's an issue open which would at least allow you to build a custom build against that: https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/4127

Maybe I should look into whether I'd be allowed to redistribute such builds (or what kind of paperwork I'd need to do for it). Unfortunately there's a lot on my plate, and macOS/Windows are admittedly somewhat second-class citizens as I don't use those myself.

If it uses SAM2, it is always most likely single object tracking. What prevents you from running multiple single object tracker in parallel? This would emulate a multi object tracker. If you want to be fancy, you add some logic to handle id switches etc.
A small correction here: 90%+ of audio I/O ports aren't general-purpose. This is because there are almost always DC-blocker circuits on each output, commonly a series capacitor. With very few exceptions, you can't use your soundcard to provide an accurate DC output such as a control voltage.
