Satellite communications, point-to-point microwave systems, and other similar things (high-data-rate, point-to-point communication) all operate near this band. However, there's plenty of spectrum and the use cases may be declining. There were also some radar systems in this band, but IIRC the useful new radar systems are higher-frequency (10's of GHz for resolution) or lower-frequency (10's-100's of MHz to have longer range).

I'm not gonna lie I like Google's models.

Flash combines speed and cost and is extremely good to build apps on.

People really take that whole benchmarking thing more seriously than necessary.
A friend of mine ran a management company for a couple years, and indicated that with the talent they managed, it was almost never the actual person responding to DMs.

The outsourced the interactions to third world "typists" that took care of it.

This is just an evolution of that, and probably provides a better experience, since they're able to tailor the model in a way that someone speaking English as a second language never could.
And pretty soon, we'll be able to get rid of the model acting on the screen as well. I'd say in about 10 years the entire operation will be automated by AI. Probably less than 10 if things keep developing at this breakneck pace.

(At least, that will be true for run of the mill cam girls. Obviously certain other types of influencers may be more difficult to emulate via AI.)
> The fact that your mental model doesn't match the document is an education problem, not a problem with the compiler.

Honestly, this type of board is something that you aren't really going to just install in a case and forget about it. You are most likely going to have this on a test bench so you can swap out all kinds of different hardware for validation.

Buttons on the bottom for power/reset, 2 different JTAG ports, DIP switches for settings, and remote board management aren't things that are normally found on consumer boards. Mini DTX probably allows them to have a marginally smaller width compared to Micro-ATX while still allowing space for all of that debug functionality with a 2 slot graphics card installed. eMMC is also kind of important for a SOM as well.
Even in the eBay example you're betting against their being a third party that will attempt to come in with a late bid so the auction closes before you can respond. If you want the item it's still optimal to bid your maximum and allow the second price mechanism to function, if you bid $1000 and there's only one other bid of $80 (and the price increment is $10 or 12.5%) you get the item for $90 either way no matter if you bid that manually or if you placed a maximum bid. That's how a semi-sealed second price auction works (at least as eBay implements it) the next minimum bid is revealed as new bids come in that are responding like it's a live cry out auction. If there are multiple max bids it's just set to the highest second price plus the bid increment and the max bid is still hidden.

That's the beauty of the eBay system it works for people to interact in two ways, as a more boring sealed second bid system and as a live cry auction. The biggest point it falls apart is you need a certain number of people to understand the system to act rationally about it. If you only have people treat it like a live cry auction then it defaults to acting like one.
I'm thinking that there's a difference between God(s) and the conception of God(s). Any BB will be limited by e.g. speed of light which will limit how big they can get and still have coherent thoughts. I suppose we could get a super-massive Borg type of BB collective, but they're still limited by location/speed etc. God(s) would presumably not be bound by such limitations. (Not that I happen to believe in God(s)).
Implementing Rust-like traits for C++ 20 (with no runtime overhead)
Example Code:

struct Shape {

void draw();

int area(int x, int y);

};

make_trait(Shape, draw, area);

int main() {

auto circle = Circle();
auto square = Square();

// NOTE: all of this is strictly checked, so if you are creating
// a trait out of a Object, the object MUST implement all the trait functions

auto t0 = trait<Shape>::make(&circle);
t0.draw();

auto t1 = trait<Shape>::make(&square);
t1.draw();

// Another thing to be kept in mind is trait<T> is just like a View
// It DOES NOT OWN anything, so you are the one making sure the data
// pointer is valid

auto array = std::array{t1, t0};
for (auto& shape : array) {
std::cout << shape.area(2, 3) << std::endl;
}

}

> I think body positivity, validating those choices with models that represent more people is a good thing. As a society we should not be judging someone for their choices or making medical claims about their bodies when we don't know their story.

I’m slightly overweight and an ex-smoker. For years, nothing seemed to help me quit—high taxes, indoor smoking bans, health risks, and so on didn’t diminish my desire to smoke. I tried quitting a few times for financial and health reasons, but it never stuck.

What ultimately got me to quit was social stigma, especially after having kids. The stigma around smoking has grown over the years, but it reaches another level when you become a parent. Other parents didn’t hesitate to judge me for smoking, and I realized there was no way my kids wouldn’t face social consequences because of my habit. That was the push I needed to quit.

I do believe it’s wrong to judge people for their choices, but at the same time, I sometimes wonder if we’re going too far with body positivity. I don’t have all the answers, but I’m grateful for the stigma surrounding smoking—it helped me make a positive change.
Heh.
This comment sparked some angry commenters but in fact I agree.

Was a single parent with full time job and took evening college classes.

I watched what I ate and went out for a 30 min run whever I could. I also bicycled and did bodyweight excercises in front of the tv in what was my livingroom/bedroom when the kids were put to bed.

This is 30 years ago and I am middle aged now and my stupid menopausal hormones make me gain weight if I so much as look at a croissant.
I frequent the gym several times a week anyway. That menobelly covers my once flat stomach but I am still as strong as I was 30 years ago. Even stronger in fact.
I rarely see people my age, especially women, at the gym. Thats a shame. You should join.
Resistance training is crucial for women my age.

Be angry or offended all you want people.
Not taking care of yourself will be yours and yours only to pay.

It starts with the kitchen, we need to watch what we eat. Eat nutritious foods.
And we need to move those muscles and get the heartrate up a few times a week.

And this is health we are talking about. Thin and fat free != healthy

> But free speech does NOT mean freedom from consequences

Freedom of speech most certainly means freedom from coercive consequences. Or do you think the first amendment merely prevents the government from engaging in physical prior restraint such as putting duct tape over your mouth, and post facto punishment is legal? Ultimately this "consequences" refrain is a broken talking point that was arrived at by people arguing for the attractive cryptofascism of big tech censorship [0].

The right answer is that there are "exceptions" [1] for freedom of speech based on other concepts. For example, forming a contract (especially a verbal one) is done entirely through speech but yet still commits parties to performing other actions in a legally enforceable way. Defamation and harassment are other concepts that get equitably weighed against the ideal of freedom of speech. And those last two are what Jones ran afoul of.

[0] It started off something like "... consequences from private parties" and then the last bit got dropped because the focus wasn't a good faith discussion of freedom but rather a cheering on of the consequences. See also the fake libertarians saying "edgy" things like those who can't afford food should die - their focus isn't really the freedom but rather it's the death.

[1] In actuality they are not exceptions but rather equitable balances. The axiomatic-foundation framing of rights is a dead end, as it intrinsically supports the cryptofascism of denying rights through an ever-increasing amount of preconditions.

"With your supervision". Thus avoiding Google being held responsible. That's like Teslas Fake Self Driving, where the user must have their hands on the wheel at all times.
While I feel similarly to you I would argue that society have two well working indicators of disconnect between enacted laws and average morals/perception of reality:

> On the other hand, there's probably some partition - even if it's preference of {boxers, briefs, lingerie, 'commando'} - for any academic field by which one nation is better for each part.

This is not at all self-evident and if any such factor so strongly correlated with academics, it would be born out in real life and society. "Smarter people like vanilla over chocolate ice cream." The only reason race has come to matter so much is that it IS such a massive factor on one's life experience, whereas having brown hair vs. blonde hair does not and causes far less controversy.
StumbleUpon pioneered the way we use the internet
I've been ramping up on UHD Blueray lately, especially since I upgraded to an OLED TV. It's a massive picture quality upgrade. I think I have like 6 discs, all ~$10. A mix of newer movies I haven't seen, and 80s-90s movies I want to show the kids in a few years. It's been fun.

WP Engine is definitely using the open source to make money, and is a big competitor to wordpress, but Matt is going scorched earth in a way that seems both embarrassing and ineffective.

It would be better if WP Engine contributed more to the open source project that they make so much money from, but it's not illegal or immoral. Maybe Amoral at worse?

If you would call that intersex, then go for it. I'm not here to argue the semantics. These are edge cases that are fairly complicated.

We're talking about a person with a uterus, vulva, vagina, etc. But without the widening of hips or development of breasts that happen in most women. No penis, no scrotum, no vas deferens, no testosterone. Nothing you would find in the majority of men.

The only thing they have are testes and the testes present in these individuals are basically inert. They're usually removed because they're more likely to develop testicular cancer.

With hormone therapy, they will develop the secondary sex characteristics of women.

But the overall point here is that atrazine would need to be administered in utero to have the effects claimed by Alex Jones. Frogs reproduce externally. They lay eggs that are then fertilized. These eggs can be contaminated with surface atrazine which would then affect their development as described earlier.
Sure. But the point is there are some fat people that can do things your average skinny office worker never has. I’ve seen chubby guys cycling up mountains in the Bay Area like they do it every week.

There’s an interesting article I read a while back where a woman (who was heavy in part due to muscle mass but also body fat) went to a personal trainer to improve her cycling performance. She had just cycled from SF to LA. Even though the trainer was a professional, certified and likely had a degree, he could not mentally shift from the idea that she was there just to lose weight.

To be fair, carrying less weight will make your cycling performance improve. But from what I recall he was running it like a weight loss program and assumed she’d never been in a gym before. She had filled out a form with all of her exercise history and goals. I would have expected him to work up her back squat, weighted lunges, etc. At least as part of the program.
> special-needs school for all the students who had learning disabilities, behavioral issues, etc

What about the students that fit into more than one group? I did not "thrive" in any classroom nor would I still. I had behavioral problems and a learning disability (though I was still an A/B student). I still became a software engineer, but I didn't know I had a learning disability until my 20s. Had I know when I was a kid, where would I have been placed? I had special needs, which were completely ignored (and still are), but I turned out average to above average enough.

Well actually, I did have one instance of being in an 'under the table' special needs program when I was in 6th grade. I was never told why I was in this program for part of every school day, and my parents were never informed. Idk about anyone else, but I did not enjoy being treated like a 'lesser person' because of something I could not control.

Also, what good are these special needs programs for students with learning disabilities when there is no place for many such people in the working world? If anything, I find these programs set people up for more failure than success. The golden rule of non-visible disabilities is to never mention them to any prospective or current employer. Often times, it's a one-way ticket to an eventual PIP/lay-off/firing. 1.5x time on tests is cute, but virtually no employer is giving someone 1.5x on a deadline because they are disabled.

You may wish to look up the concept of 'jawboning' if you're under the misapprehension that this sort of workaround to the First Amendment is generally supported by historical jurisprudence.

Yes? Phone numbers are not top secret information. My schools always had a student directory that listed every student's home phone number and their parents' mobiles. We used to have phone books that listed everyone in town's phone number.
> second, the entirety of WP was produced from "free labor" by people all over the world. matt is just the beneficiary. grow up dude. it is about time for an Ayahuasca retreat or two to beat down some of that monumental ego.

Open Source does not mean free labour. WordPress has been built by people employed by Matt either via Automattic or via his other entities. WordPress would not exist as it is without Matt. To the point, if Matt didn't like you, you would find it hard to contribute.

He may be a dickhead and in the wrong. But acting like he's benefiting from other people's free labour just shows you've never paid attention to the development of WordPress.
When I saw the title I obviously thought it was going to be about 4 color theorem, so I was disappointed but then I considered...

Is there actually a 4 color theorem like rule for text and background colors needed, probably there is a design rule but that isn't a mathematical rule the way the 4 color theorem is. And I guess that the rule is just text and background each need a color - so two colors.

Never - and I hold this belief for most social media. As genAI gets better there will simply be a trillions of slop out there rather than simply billions. There is already more content out there than a human can reasonably watch.

The best OF creators have simply mastered distribution. Either they have taken success in one market and pivoted to OF or they are relentlessly marketing themselves through other platforms and viral stunts.

I have yet to see an AI master the distribution side. At the least good genAI will see the rise of male OF creators
IANAL but everything that is supposed to be “new concept” is covered by existing laws.

People mostly are not aware of what is there really written in law and second and maybe more important don’t want to know because if they would apply existing law they would not earn as much.

Ignoring laws just like Uber or Airbnb doesn’t make law not applicable or a new concept.

Driving people around for money was regulated, the same with renting apartments.

The same with cryptocurrency stuff and coin offerings - something being a meme coin doesn’t magically make law not applicable if dozens of people buy it with hope for its value increasing and people selling it making funny pictures about going to “the moon” instead of promising future returns.
I don't think this follows, because the function of a telephone call is more utilitarian than anything else.

People call for leisure of course, but the phone's part of that leisure activity is still just to convey information not art. The kids all switched completely to txt for the same non-utilitarian conversations once it became available.

For all it's low fidelity, it was actually quite high fidelity, in that it was actually very good at conveying all the "voice body language" information besides merely the words. It was just highly optimized for one job and that job was not music.
As a former military jet aviator, you don't seem to a) know what you're talking about on a fundamental sense and b) be comprehending what you're being told.

The point is the empirical evidence that those who succeed in the pipeline tend to disproportionately have athletic backgrounds, often competitive ones. Not all, but many. This is precisely because competing in elite sports is a way (not the only way, but a way) to develop everything you say you'd want next to you in a foxhole, yet which you somehow scoff at athletes being able to acquire.

You frankly come off as someone with no experience in the military OR in athletics, and I say that as a former aviator who was not an elite athlete but knew some.

And I've worked with SOF personnel. They may select against stereotypical "jock" behavior (though that's sometimes debatable looking at Naval Special Warfare). But they sure as hell select for very high athletic talent . . . among other things.

Previous baggage handler turned software dev here. Looks like you are targeting the bag room right now which is the best spot to start to prove the concept. It was surprising to me how manual the entire loading & sorting process was when I worked for the airlines.

I'm curious if there's any roadmap eventually to get this out to the ramp itself. Most of the back injuries seemed to happen in the bin itself because you have to often hunch/be on your knees in a bin tossing 50+ pound bags. I know airlines would probably be very hesitant to have any new equipment around their planes but just curious if there's any discussion around that.

Other side note, I also used to work in Cargo and always thought there could be way more efficient ways of loading loose packages that are on every flight and this seems to be a great possibility for those as well.

Awesome work & will keep tabs on it!
From the article: "Judge Lopez said that the bankruptcy auction failed to maximize the amount of money that the sale of Infowars should provide to Mr. Jones’s creditors, including the Sandy Hook families, in part because the bids were submitted in secret. “It seemed doomed almost from the moment they decided to go to a sealed bid,” Judge Lopez said. “Nobody knows what anybody else is bidding,” he added."
I'm quite surprised that opinion columns end up behind a paywall. If you consider from the principle of supply and demand, it feels like we should be being paid to read these things. The limited resource is not opinions, but the time it takes to read them.
> They’re not as efficient as Vickrey auctions [3], but nobody actually does that.

I've always been curious -- do you know why?

It's certainly not for lack of familiarity, considering that paying the second-highest bid is basically how eBay works.

And eBay doesn't reveal people's maximum bids either. And so between that and the prevalence of last-second sniping, it essentially operates as sealed for all practical purposes.
