The US' usual pressure tactic is to create a bluff, first raise sanctions, and use this as a bargaining chip in negotiations to gain benefits.
If you observe closely enough, you will find that every time before the U.S. government negotiates with the Chinese government, it announces new sanctions or other pressure tactics.
Biden, however, played the card that Trump was going to play prematurely.

Trump can not go 'harder', because Biden has compressed Trump's tactical space.

So, when Trump enters the White House, he will find that he has few cards left to play - Chips, Oil, Ukrain War, interest rates, debt and deficit
, etc
Instead, there'll be mines left for him by Biden admin.
What are the "aesthetics of gambling"? Do all games involving dice rolls resemble that aesthetic? If gambling aesthetics change to resemble popular game aesthetics, does that expand the list of games you'll ban?

Yeah, that's my question too. Pharo seems interesting, in a "play around with the computer" kind of way. I could see it being a great learning environment for teenagers who are starting to look into programming. Is that an intended use case?
Past weirdness in the rules adopted by certain groups is not a strong argument for these rulings against gambling themed non-gambling games while non-gambling themed gambling games receive leniency. Rather, it speaks to the remarkable superficiality of these arguments.

Thank you for the input, but a full blood panel for vitamin and mineral deficiencies is the _first_ thing a primary care physician checks when reporting these symptoms. To get to an Idiopathic Hypersomnia diagnosis, you have to exclude many things most people think of: vitamin and mineral deficiencies, poor sleep hygiene, depression, sleep apnea, etc.
You raise good points, and I certainly do not hope for another world war. I do hope a different thing though -- normal interest rates (normal being something different than what we've seen in the past 30yrs).

One thing you'll see in the mid-90s and beyond is artificially lowered rates, which cheapen money. Low rates boost asset prices, so they are great for asset owners (and there are very few asset owners in the US on a % basis.)

This doest really help normal people, because while borrowing becomes cheaper, prices go up commensurately. Debt:income ratios inflate. Costs inflate overall. Overall it hurts normal people because you end up with the same outcome but more leverage and hence more risk.

Worse, because rates are low, income-seekers (e.g., insurance companies, foundations) steer away from traditional means of income (bonds) towards buying up homes, infra, assets, as they "reach for yield". Again, this just worsens the problem for everyone.

With rates lowered and debt volumes ballooning, we've given a one-time boost to asset owners and in the process, spread stress and risk to all working class individuals.
Yes. I'm also a big supporter of open-weight models. Hope they don't touch it and continue down that path.

I actually prefer "reproducible" models with their code and training data attached, but we don't live in that world, yet.

I’m using Sonos entirely through AirPlay and Spotify Connect. What’s the use case for the app, and why is it bad at it?
Great read! I had no idea that the history of wildfires in this region was so well-entrenched. It's completely unsurprising that those who can afford to self-insure would flock to the area for it's irresistible views and would, then, run for government help when the leopards, predictably, come for their faces.
Bloated is an emotion, it's not a technical term. The related, most commonly known technical term is "DLL hell". And I absolutely love to work with flatpak, because not once in my job I thought about it, apart from looking what folder to backup.

Left pad was ten years ago. Today is 2025-01-13 and we are still discussing how good yet another python PM presumably is. Even a hottest ML library can only do so much in this situation.
I just checked and Genshin Impact has a 12+ rating in the App Store. AFK Arena is rated 9+. Many other gacha games are 12+. This doesn't seem like a "higher age rating" to me.
I realize my comment was emotionally charged.

The point was that I'm a planner. I tend to discuss designs long before I begin writing code. By the time I get to a PR I don't expect to get feedback about the design. I'm looking for someone to check that the code is acceptable to merge. If you have problems with the design, it is too late!

However I work with folks who are not planners. They will write a PR as a proposal. Their expectation is that they may need to iterate on the code a bit based on that feedback; even the design and approach itself is up for review. If you have problems with the design, it's fine!

What has worked well for me in those situations in the past is to be up-front about what kind of feedback you're seeking. Mention in the PR description that you're looking for design crit, code review, etc. Whatever lingo works for your team.

Update: Realizing at the last minute that the design itself is wrong, and saying so, is a good thing -- and I do appreciate that. However it should be rare. My pet peeve is more with the folks who nitpick... whose design contributions are superficial and concerned with style more than substance.
I built a sonos "clone" using a raspberry, the HiFiBerry board, shairplay, and an expensive amp/speakers that allowed digital connections (because doing anything with a raspberry and audio is pretty noisy when analog). Overall it cost about as much as a pair of Sonos 5's.
In the end, the thing is now unused, and I went and bought a Sonos5 and couldn't be happier. Tiny things I just never got working in the Linux world are "just works" with Sonos. Sure, it has some annoyances but trivial things like "playback never starts with a loud pop" was almost impossible to get right. Tinkering with audio in Linux is rarely fun. Not to mention that i only built one system so never even had to deal with time syncing multiple systems (Though I'm sure someone has built some sort of linux solution to handle that too by now).

So having done both of these two systems each for several years, I can strongly recommend Sonos.

Sonos 5's (gen2) still sell for $4-500 used where I am. Which is astonishing for a product that is many years old by now and is $6-750 new. I wouldn't exactly say that's landfill. The Ikea bookshelf thing is also great and costs very little. Sound isn't comparable to the Five though. If you see a Sonos speaker for $8 in a thrift store, it's either broken or you should buy it and sell it on ebay.
That’s a dangerous assumption to habitualize in its own right…
I can’t imagine staring at a screen for 8h+ hours a day[1] is not causing some permanent injuries.

I think that's exactly the point. And maybe from a business perspective, that's the correct (if cynical) decision -- the behavior of "activist" groups and/or public outrage seems to be driven purely by optics and screenshots, not substance.

Agents and Ensemble Reasoning with open source LLMs

It's such a TEMPTING rule to violate...

The amazing part was how BAD it went, supposedly engineers were raising every red flag possible that it wasn't ready and still they did it.

Considering how bad it was I can't imagine having any faith in anyone up the chain of command having the power, or intelligence to do the right thing at this point it was such a bizarre failure.
The Hilux went the other way: you can apply wrench to nut, but the odds of you needing to do so recede into the distance.
Nice one! Ceremonies! I like that.

The unfortunate thing is that the tag word "agile" in this context has obliterated some very sound ideas of how to effectively develop software in teams. But that would require actual thinking. In lieu of that, maybe we should just get some kind of high priests to run the scrum meetings? Sorry. I have been in the software business way, way too long.

If anyone actually wants to think about software development, my starting point would be John Holland's "Hidden Order". Don't read it. Try to implement it for software development teams.

Your position is similar to why I stopped watched NFL games. I get that players choose to play (for money), but at the end of the day, I am unwilling to contribute to brain damage.
Author here. Thanks! I believe the register reads are just extending the delay, although the new approach does have a side effect of reading from the hardware multiple times. I don't think the multiple reads really matter though.

I went with the multiple reads because that's what Marvell's own kernel fork does. My reasoning was that people have been using their fork, not only on the PXA168, but on the newer PXAxxxx series, so it would be best to retain Marvell's approach. I could have just increased the delay loop, but I didn't have any way of knowing if the delay I chose would be correct on newer PXAxxx models as well, like the chip used in the OLPC. Really wish they had more/better documentation!
That is rule #3. quit thinking and look. Use whatever tool you need and look at what is going on. The next few rules (4-6) are what you need to do while you are doing step #3.
Subway Stories
Someone finally did for at least the Sonos One. After selling it in stores they quickly abandoned it. The CEO promised air play 2 update while it was being sold and then back peddled after discontinuing it. At first they said they would retire it entirely and effectively kill it. They eventually back peddled on that too after massive backlash. This was when I decided never to buy their locked in garbage again. Meanwhile, someone released a small app that advertised the device for airplay 2. It quietly runs on my garage server.

It's okay to ask of course. My statement was that the ask does not have to be reciprocated.

Personally, unless there's specific claims about data proving something, I usually assume claims on discussion sites to be somewhat informed personal opinions, even if they are worded more strongly than this. I find this to be true more often than not. But I may be more skeptical than your average person regarding the scientific rigor in social sciences, as well as the ability of people to cherry pick specific papers that suit their claim, and therefore place less weight on literature citations versus experiences that I see in my daily life.
This story reminds me of the new platform and related apps that were launched for the public broadcaster in The Netherlands, NPO. Pre-launch there were rousing interviews explaining how they rebuilt the system from scratch in a way that would allow them to release often, innovate quickly and generally work in an agile fashion.

Meanwhile it has been over a year and basic stuff like "continue to watch next episode" and "child profiles" are still either broken or missing.

And, of course, the old (functioning) apps don't work anymore.
I’m not an audiophile, but after hearing Sonos at a friend’s house and being impressed, I decided to purchase a speaker for my kitchen, where I often listen to music while cooking. I opted for the Sonos Five, assuming that Bluetooth connectivity would be a standard feature on a standalone speaker, especially at this price point. To my surprise, a speaker costing nearly $600 doesn’t support Bluetooth—it only works via Wi-Fi streaming!

If you’re an Android user, the limitations are even more frustrating. Playing music directly from YouTube isn’t possible without jumping through hoops, such as linking the Sonos app to YouTube or relying on third-party solutions. Ultimately, I returned the Sonos Five and chose a portable JBL speaker instead. It connects seamlessly via Bluetooth and gets the job done without any unnecessary complications.

Same. Every branch apart from the “real” one and release snapshots is transient and WIP. They don’t get merged back unless tests pass.
For that specific map, based on what the email he got sent from TfL said, I don't think they directly have permission to issue that license - their site says people have to go through the partner who produced the schematic art to get a license
I recommend listening to the episode of the Blank Check podcast about The General (and Battling Butler), if you can sanction some buffoonery. It's a mix of a comedy podcast and deep movie analysis, which is not for everybody. For that episode they brought in writer Jamelle Bouie who is both a huge movie buff and a student of American history who brings in some great perspective on the Lost Cause.

Wokeness is what happens when you have socially liberal and fiscally conservative investors / executives try to please their democratic leaning employees without having to pay more taxes. It costs them nothing, so you get corporations and the media to embrace race and gender progressivism with a full clamp down on any true progressive causes like universal health care, free education and etc.

The same VCs crying about wokeness are also crying about a collapse of the manufacturing base in the US, when they're the ones responsible for offshoring all of it and not investing in any business that deal with physical goods because software are so much larger.

As an example, yes Starbucks can have LGBT mugs but hell no to unions.

My younger son likes to imitate voices, and at one point when he was about seven I had to explain which accents it was currently safe to imitate publicly and which not. It took about ten minutes, and I still hadn't covered all the cases.

In 1986 the Supreme Court ruled that creating a hostile work environment could constitute sex discrimination, which in turn affected universities via Title IX. The court specified that the test of a hostile environment was whether it would bother a reasonable person, but since for a professor merely being the subject of a sexual harassment complaint would be a disaster whether the complainant was reasonable or not, in practice any joke or remark remotely connected with sex was now effectively forbidden. Which meant we'd now come full circle to Victorian codes of behavior, when there was a large class of things that might not be said ‘with ladies present.‘“

I’m linking two thoughts the essay doesn’t explicitly connect, but which I think is important to the thesis of why 2010-era cancel culture didn’t get cancelled itself, and that’s its almost autoimmune capacity to cancel comedians.

That said, Graham elides over how cancel culture was renamed “woke.” Was it the left or the right who did this? I suspect the latter, at which point we have to contend with the existence of two mind viruses, the cancel-culture/woke one and the anti-woke totem of the left.

Also, this requires more thought: “publishing online enabled — in fact probably forced — newspapers to switch to serving markets defined by ideology instead of geography. Most that remained in business fell in the direction they'd already been leaning: left.”

Why? And why have right-wing publications failed to gain comparable traction?

My understanding is that hardware and labour costs vastly outweigh energy costs, even in the UK.
Exactly. Even the people who complain about these things immediately get defensive when you call them out on their uses: "Well, I can't switch because what about my banking app?" or "Well, games don't count as software to me." or "It won't make any difference to the big tech companies if I'm the only one who switches, so why bother?"

Broadly speaking, there is no limit to racism that has ever been proposed by the far left. One can reasonably, trivially dismiss most infinities.

There is something deeper here you’re missing. Women can generally define lewd behaviour however they want; there is no similar official mechanism in the balance. A one-way institution like that will predictably build righteous backlash against itself. That backlash is partly performative and partly justified.

That's easily solved.

Just scope the law to any device that can run code, and have the criteria for control be "the user must never have less control over code execution as the manufacturer does after the sale".

So, for example, if someone buys a phone from Apple they will get full control of the entire device (SEP/TEE included) because Apple has the ability to exercise post-sale code execution control to that level (they hold the private keys required).
