> TOSLINK/SPDIF turns this into a manchester coded serial signal, at around 1.5Mbps that is much more resiliant to analog interference

When I was connecting my surround sound receiver to my PC, I was bummed that SPDIF standard was never improved to support 5.1 or 7.1 uncompressed surround sound. 5.1 DTS compression is the best it can do (due to the 1.5 mbps bandwidth), but PC support is rather limited. I gave up, and I've been using it with HDMI for 10 years. Running it through my video card/drivers has introduced (bearable) complexity, but I wonder why receivers to this day can't connect to PCs over USB instead. (Yes, most receivers have USB ports, but those are for playing MP3s off a flash drive. A PC isn't a flash drive.)
Me personally? Doesn't matter what I'd do. I'm just some gobshite on the internet.

In this hypothetical situation the opinions that matter are those of the men in the subs that have just seen their family and friends wiped out.

They've got roughly 120 active warheads to play with and realistically no one is going to stop them all.

So if you add up the damage from that plus the loss of a major trading partner and military ally it kind of seems unlikely to be a profitable venture for anyone involved.
I think a 1-1 is highly valuable when there is a specific issue but weekly 1-1s are usually not; if you have a specific issue you want a 1-1 immediately you don't want to wait a week for it. One week you might need a lot from your manager, you might not need anything for two months in some cases.

I had one exceptionally bad manager who used 1-1s as a weapon to gaslight developers. When we compared our notes it was clear he would tell one thing to one person and one thing to another person. I started on Paxil, finished the project, and got out. More commonly it is an unproductive meeting that's not harmful but not the best use of everyone's time.

Being in a team is about shared reality. You don't want to waste people's time in excessive meetings, but you do want enough collective communication such that everybody in a team has a sense of the overall situation and feels like they're part of something bigger than themselves.

We do have pseudo-browsers written in pure js that you can theoretically use:

but they're about as reliable as you can expect: it's difficult to keep up the pace with the big three (or two) on standards compliance, and they usually don't even try.

So the only reliable solution is a headless Chromium, Firefox, and/or WebKit-based noname browser like the sibling says.

> Plenty of cities, internationally, demonstrate this time again, particularly in much of Europe and East Asia, and even some domestically in the US.

I agree that NYC's transit system is significantly worse than most European and East Asian transit systems. But I'm curious what US cities you had in mind that demonstrate the value of public transit better than NYC?

In my case, I have ridden transit systems in the US that are slightly cleaner (e.g. DC), slightly cheaper (e.g. LA), feel slightly safer (e.g. Boston, Seattle, DC), but I'd consider NYC the overall best transit system in the US by a significant margin.

Yes: people consistently repeat that inmigrants are (criminals ((almost) exclusively)) despite never showing any statistics. I have seen people keep a printed list of inmigrant crimes (one of them, an Uber driver).

This happens in two countries, that I know. One of them is the US, the other is Costa Rica. I expect it to happen in all countries with important xenophobic populations.
This is great, but I'd be more interested in seeing how congestion pricing impacts travel times for buses, specifically, (within and around the congestion zone, including express routes from the outer boroughs), as well as overall transit ridership.

@gotmedium, would you consider integrating:

1. MTA's Bus Time feed: https://bustime.mta.info/wiki/Developers/Index and
2. MTA bus/MNRR/LIRR/Access-A-Ride ridership feed: https://data.ny.gov/Transportation/MTA-Daily-Ridership-Data-...
3. Equivalent feeds for city-connected NJ transit services.

I never claimed they were an indexer, I claimed that is how a company to displace them would work. Everything you’re telling me is misguided is a misinterpretation about my claims of a non-existent competitor. Your interpretation of my response is misguided.

You don’t need a back catalog for a 30 year old photo of a shuttle launch, that wouldn’t sell to recent news outfits looking for latest editorial content.

The fact that Shutterstock has spent the last decade switching from php to react to nextjs and only acquiring their competitors is more than enough evidence they are easily displaced. The only thing your competitor has to do differently is not sell out to Shutterstock.

That's the point, I think: for a large number of real-world algorithms, you don't actually need a Turing Machine. There was a very well-written explanation of this on the front page[1] some time ago, concluded with:

> Any algorithm that can be implemented by a Turing Machine such that its runtime is bounded by some primitive recursive function of input can also be implemented by a primitive recursive function!

Also, "The Little Typer" book explores a language based on "primitive recursive functions" and shows what can be done in it and how.

>Do you believe that the United States is in decline today? Now imagine you asked an American this question 30 years ago. How would they have responded? No one would have even talked about it with you. Every American citizen was, first and foremost, a patriot of their country and firmly believed that Americans are the greatest nation at the peak of its powers with a great future ahead.

I disagree with this assertion, and I'm in my 50s so I remember the 1990s well. Sure, there was maybe a bit more optimism than now given that the USSR had collapsed and the former Soviet nations were just gettting started (and China had yet to rise), leaving the USA as the only superpower, but there was a lot of concern that we had "gotten soft" and that the "Greatest Generation" during WWII was the real peak.
Right. The challenge for free speech absolutists is to demonstrate that free speech takes priority over moderating hate speech, adult content, highly addictive media etc... . That demonstration needs to evidence-based and framed in terms of short and long term social harms/impact. Simply saying "censorship hasn't gone well for some countries" or "having a free speech zone is extremely important to the future of civilization" is not enough.

Expectations have also changed in various ways since "the simple days" when devs were the product managers, the implementors and testers all in one. Some things are better now, some things are worse.

I used to be able to churn out a form, naively, in two hours because I could just implement the elements, inline style them, give them a name and then go implement the backend form handler. Now there's a checklist of requirements: does it implement our design system, does it have test id attributes, is it responsive, does it work with password managers and auto populating form fillers, does it support internationalization, does it support multiple languages correctly, does it provide client side data validation, does the server return errors correctly and how should they be displayed, does it have rendering tests, does it have end to end tests, and so on and on and on.

Most of this isn't needed for a personal project or proof of concept but for a reliable product that millions of people use globally, a lot of it is table stakes or legal liability. You can certainly do it server side too, but the two hour effort window is still gone.
> If you spend more time proving your optimization of a cryptographic algorithm is not vulnerable to timing attacks than you do writing the code, I don't think any of my observations here are going to be useful to you.

I am not a software dev I am a security researcher. LLM's are great for my security research! It is so much easier and faster to iterate on code like fuzzers to do security testing. Writing code to do a padding oracle attack would have taken me a week+ in the past. Now I can work with an LLM to write code and learn and break within the day.

It has accelerated my security research 10 fold, just because I am able to write code and parse and interpret logs at a level above what I was able to a few years ago.

I guess to me it just seems like you want to deter end users picking taxis/ubers over trains a bit more, and $1-2 is not going to do that when they are already paying 5-10x subway fare for their ride.

I can see by your example how over the course of the day the taxi/uber collects a lot of CPZ fees for the city, I just don't see the fee reducing anyone at the margin from using taxi/uber.

At the end of the day I'd love to see transit improve, and if all this does is reduce traffic for the well heeled who already are taking taxi/ubers.. I mean I win there too, but it doesn't feel great.

For the record when I commute it's always by transit, the problem is weekend/night service has degraded to the point that I feel forced to take taxi/uber quite often. I've lived in NYC nearly 20 years and have found, if anything, night/weekend service to be less predictable and more perplexing. This again harms the less well off even more, as they are more likely to be doing shift work / non-traditional workdays than your M-F 9-5er.

Just this weekend, yet again, I was trying to get around midtown and Apple kept telling me what should be a 6min trip would take 30min by train even though I was 5 seconds from subway entrance. I couldn't understand why, and went to MTA website and saw no alerts for the 6th ave line. Then I went to the live train time page and realized the problem - the 6th Ave line was running at 15min headways, so Apple had me walking 2 blocks to 8th Ave then to wait 15min for the train (possibly 30min if its a B/D and I needed an F/M). This was Saturday around dinner time. Just awful service.
> whether that past is completely mythological like King Arthur or somewhat historical like the Roman empire

That seems like a strange conclusion with the extravagant use of heavy filtering so that nobody actually looks like what their social presence implies.

They just need to tweaking the marketing and release it as a filter, but then include weasel words text that says anything used by the filter allows for them to selectively choose images to use as marketing. Essentially reversing the flow with sneaky consent

Nowadays, it is hard to recommend a general-purpose opamp. Just plug the desired parameters into the search function and sort what's left by price.

(Distributors like DigiKey and Mouser have somewhat adequate search functions; I usually have to go to manufacturers' web sites like https://www.ti.com/amplifier-circuit/op-amps/general-purpose... to be able to filter by all important parameters. I'm mentioning TI because they have a large selection and a good search; even when you do not end up selecting on of theirs, you see what is possible.)

If you need only a small negative supply and have nothing else, the LM7705 charge pump can generate −0.23 V. (This is designed to fit into the typically allowed 5.5 V range of a nominal 5 V opamp.)

I do not know what a "significant current" is for you, but there are opamps with strong outputs. (When comparing opamps, you usually have to estimate the drive strength from the short-circuit current.)

I was out of the workforce for two years or so trying to develop my own thing and had maxxed out my HELOC and was getting tough love from my wife and son, rolled my car, was really at rock bottom.

I built myself an intelligent agent (circa 2018) that is like an applicant tracking system in that it can ingest lots of applications and categorize them together with me, maintain a workflow, etc. Got my first interview with an AI company in a week, my wife was skeptical, but I aced it because boy did I have a good story to tell.

As an American who lived in Europe in the 90s when I was young, a lot that I really appreciated about the European way of life has deteriorated and is now almost unrecognizable to me in some ways.

When I visit every few years, it amazes me how quickly Europe is “Americanizing”. More fast food and less traditional food. Ripping up vineyards that have been there for centuries. Fewer protections for your farmers. More people walking around staring at their phones and less people talking to each other in cafes. Seems like almost everyone dresses like Americans and can speak English now. And it’s hard to tell the difference between the coffee shops in Spain and those in San Francisco. How long until you start building suburbs and driving everywhere?

Don’t get me wrong—I love the U.S., and I love living here. But its culture is not for Europe.
I speculated what Zuckerberg wanted and what he'd do when he visited Mar-a-lago[0]:

* Push to ban Tiktok

* Drop antitrust lawsuits against Meta

* Meta will relax "conservative" posts on its platforms

* Zuckerberg will donate to Trump's cause

So far, Zuckerberg has already donated to Trump's cause. Now he has relaxed "conservative" posts on its platforms directly or indirectly.

When Trump comes into power, he'll likely ask the FTC to drop its antitrust lawsuit against Meta under the disguise of being pro-business.

My last speculation is push to ban Tiktok. I'm sure it was discussed. Trump has donors who wanted him to reverse the Tiktok ban. Zuckerberg clearly wants Tiktok banned. Trump will have to decide who to appease when he comes into office.

I bought a Samsung Odyssey G9 on a whim when visiting a Microcenter. It's a 49" 5120x1440 32:9 display, essentially two 1440p screens combined. You can use it as a single screen or use picture-in-picture to split the screen (50:50 and 70:30). For gaming stuff it's also 240hz with Gsync/Freesync and supports HDR.

I have it on a VESA mount. I love it, I typically use two screens anyway and now I get a seamless screen without bezels and half the cables I'd otherwise need.

There was an earlier version of the underlying 3d engine that used only Canvas. WebGL use is justified like this:

> Once I actually got that working doing all of the math by hand in JavaScript I decided that using WebGL would probably be worth it, and actually probably wasn't cheating all that much. WebGL exposes access to the GPU-enabled rendering engine through JavaScript. While it does abstract away some of the rendering, it's less than I thought---it just supports the ability to do the necessary math efficiently---so I decided this wouldn't be cheating. And fortunately, it didn't take long to reproduce the initial renderer, but this time supporting much better (and more efficient) graphics.

How you use the LLM matters.

Having an LLM do something for you that you don't know how to do is asking for trouble. An expert likely can off load a few things they aren't all that important, but any junior is going to dig themselves into a significant hole with this technique.

But asking an LLM to help you learn how to do something is often an option. Can't one just learn it using other resources? Of course. LLMs shouldn't be a must have. If at any point you have to depend upon the LLM, that is a red flag. It should be a possible tool, used when it saves time, but swapped for other options when they make sense.

For an example, I had a library I was new to and asked copilot how to do some specific task. It gave me the options. I used this output to go to google and find the matching documentation and gave it a read. I then when back to copilot and wrote up my understanding of what the documentation said and checked to see if copilot had anything to add.

Could I have just read the entire documentation? That is an option, but one that costs more time to give deeper expertise. Sometimes that is the option to go with, but in this case having a more shallow knowledge to get a proof of concept thrown together fit my situation better.

Anyone just copying an AI's output and putting it in a PR without understanding what it does? That's asking for trouble and it will come back to bite them.

Hi, I have developed the Virtual Background Assistant to check background images before using them in video calls. It uses TensorFlow for image analysis, Canvas API and Framer Motion for animations. All data are processed locally.

Key Features:

Image Quality Check: Quickly determine if a background is sharp, clear, and professional/casual/social enough for your calls.

Image Recommendations: Get suggestions for virtual backgrounds that provide a professional look.

TODO:

Background Blurring: Test how your background will look when it’s blurred, so you can avoid clashes or odd artifacts in the virtual space.

Zoom and Crop Preview: See how the image fits in different resolutions.
