Nikon makes a mirrorless Z30 with interchangable lenses. It is designed as a "4K setup for creators, vloggers and streamers" It comes standard with an equivalent 24-75mm Z-series lens (DX[2]) which is scenic to portrait, and costs less than a phone. Nikon [0]. Ken Rockwell Review [1].

OF COURSE, others are fine.

Disclaimer: I am a Nikon nut. And this is not a sales pitch. I just have had success with the mirrorless line.

I go to a nearby camera store to help the local economy and compare models, with the assistance of staff who know me by now.

[2] FX lenses are longer equivalent focal length due to the DX (APS-C) sensor. But the small sensor makes the camera smaller and lighter.
The US has a practically limitless amount of wood. Europe doesn’t. Wood also holds up well to earthquakes and can be treated to hold up to fire. And if there’s a catastrophic failure, it hurts a lot less than concrete does when it falls on your head. It’s a great material that the US is right to use.
Afford doesn't mean you can technically throw money out the window. At some point, you are going to give up if the risk is high enough to have >2 events in your lifetime - time is also a cost to factor in, as well as loss of possessions. It's not quite that simple.

I suspect you think it's not great having homeless people on the street.

Wait till you see what it looks like when they actually start dying in the street because emergency health care is no longer available to them, nor to many of their housed neighbors, family and friends.
> There is no legitimate reason for healthcare prices to be so insane.

these profit margins are why some people claim that the US is actually subsidizing the rest of the world's low cost health outcomes.

These companies make money in the US, at high margins, which enables them to operate at low margins in other more regulated countries.

>It's transitioned the west's image from that of an unchallenged global hegemon to something of a military paper tiger. This has already resulted in a number of countries transitioning out of the western sphere of influence.

Interesting. I drew the opposite conclusion. Using (mostly) just NATO's old equipment, Ukraine has fought basically to a standstill what was previously considered the second greatest army on earth. That army and the security guarantees it provides to various dictators are greatly humiliated, especially after Russian allies Armenia and Syria were defeated with their backer Russia lifting hardly a finger in defense, due to it's great commitments and losses in Ukraine.

Meanwhile the US is still ready to fight and win a war in the Pacific and Atlantic simultaneously.

Which countries are transitioning out of the western sphere of influence due to security concerns?

Good point regarding snow and fog, but I’m assuming operation would slow or stop in those conditions and that would be acceptable.

Does a truly featureless wall/road with no visible edges actually exist in the wild? I’d expect cameras with high enough resolution, spacing, and FOV would handle any real world examples but maybe I’m wrong.
All of the exception handling was spent on the try/catch of the booster.
It's worth noting that prior to SpaceX every single rocket was hand crafted, and often varied in key details based on the payload. Certain when it came to (people-intensive) integration tests and launch prep work. There's partly a legitimate reason ULA needed customer details before providing a quote.

But mostly it was so they could charge NRO more for their birds, by not having a price on their website.
Is this really so?

[Update: I’ve asked Collabora how RK3588 software development was funded. Their answer:

But to answer your question, Collabora had initially started the work on RK3588 as a strategic research and development (R&D) investment. When we looked at the SOC landscape at the time, we felt that SOC offered great potential. Since then Collabora has developed a solid relationship with the RockChip Open Source team, and others there. They have been very supportive and responsive. And they continue to do so on the RK3588 as well as everything else we are collaborating on with them. Collabora’s strategic R&D investment has been paying off since we have several OEM customers that have hired our services to further enable their RK3588 products, in all sorts of industries and product form factors.

> alone made $23,000,000,000 in profit in 2023

why is this number considered huge? What measure are you using? These absolute numbers are meaningless, because you have to put it into context. That's why profit margin is what analysts use, not the absolute number.

If i changed those figures to: they made $77 per person, per year in the USA for providing healthcare services, does that still seem as big? Or is it now reasonable?

> Call me crazy but if I was the mayor of LA I’d make them invest heavily in PREVENTION. Cameras and drones all over the place in the forests, to nip fires in the bud (and carch arsonists).

This is a terrible way to deal with fire. The issue isn’t preventing fires from starting at all, because small fires are all over the place. A dropped cigarette can light a city block on fire if the wind is just right. The issue is preventing spread, and taking precautions when conditions (like wind) are conducive to rapid spread.
I did investigate Vue with TSX at one point. It wasn't for me, but I did like Vue with TSX over Vue's primary template language.

A part of the way I see it is that Knockout promised "Observables" and `computed` was sort of the distracting fork away from something like RxJS Observables. Now that fork seems to be named "Signals". I'm not a fan of "Signals" and think they miss a lot of the power and elegance of "real" Observables like RxJS. I understand the appeal of the "magic" of `computed` tools. I better appreciate the power of the larger toolbox of RxJS operators. (I also think Observables are a lot easier to unit test than `computed`. A good "marble test" is a thing of beauty.)

For what it is worth, my RxJS-based solution: https://github.com/WorldMaker/butterfloat
One thing I am mostly against is nationalized property/casualty insurance. California seems to have taken every opportunity to not properly price risk.
My worry is that while extreme, their logic and priorities do not feel unique for government decision making. The last thing I'd want to do is expand it.

When you distort risk pricing, you distort the market, and if you do it hard enough for long enough, you are basically pulling back the slingshot.

While this also applies to mutual insurers, my philosophy is being serious about solvency is the best way to know if you are properly underwriting and pricing.
I feel like the government operates too much knowing that they can backstop it either themselves or by imposing an assessment on the market.

You are right that the really big disasters are very correlated events. While not a silver bullet, reinsurance and other risk transfer stuff can help smooth those kind of events out. The good-ish thing with those risks is that while they are uncertain, they are sort of identifiable, known unknowns in Rumsfeld parlance.

I agree with that sentiment, the thing that always seems crazy to me is that California's housing pricing in the face of all these things, but perhaps it's sort of pick your poison. Like I don't want to harp on it, but the only implicit or explicit thing everyone appears to agree on given the decisions that have been made is protecting housing prices above all else. But don't expose people to the ramifications of the housing appreciation (Looking at you, Prop 13).
The results seem really bad, multiple entries are for the same thing and others are for very minor events. It looks like the frontpage of any random news site.
Even if this were a serious bill rather than ostensible fodder, the possibility of Fahrenheit 451 turning from an indexed satire into a documentary as it was ground into swarf and burned is doing anything but decreasing.

> I've been trying to talk to people locally, a place with lots of homes built in the woodland-urban interface, about the risks

Its not just the insurance costs either. My neighbor is an architect who now does planning/consultation with the RFS (rural fire service, australia). Its basically de rigueur for people to try and avoid or evade fire sensitive planning controls. Just the most basic concepts like defensible space, eve guards, or nonflammable finishes, let alone adequate on site water storage or site access. People are intentionally building in bushland because they want to be “in trees”, unless they block the view of course.

Even if they understand the concepts and remember black saturday, or a few years back!, it doesnt apply to them. Theres no concept of personal risk & consequences, and theyre right. They will probably get bailed out by volunteers and socialized losses. Just like new developments along riverine flood ways.
It sounds like he's talking to investors and not to general public.

In my experience in corporate america you communicate efficiency by proclaiming a checklist of things to do - plausible, but not necessarily accurate things - and then let engineers figure it out.

Nobody cares of the original checklist as long as the problem gets resolved. It's weird but it seems very hard to utter statement "I don't have specific answers but we have very capable engineers, I'm sure they will figure it out". It's always better to say (from the top of your head) "To resolve A, we will do X,Y and Z!". Then when A get's resolved, everyone praises the effort. Then when they query what actually was done it's "well we found out in fact what were amiss were I, J K".

Yes, but as long as you keep it above the dew point, it's not an issue. You also don't want to cool it below that for another reason - it's unpleasant to walk on.

The idea is that you design it so that you have adequate energy transfer with a minimum temperature delta. Then you don't have to go below dew point and the heat pump can run at a higher SCOP/SEER.
> Is that a bad thing?

Is it a bad thing that we should consider most of the planet unlivable because disasters happen that aren't eternally and increasingly profitable to insure?

Is it a bad thing that literally tens of millions of Americans would no longer have insurance? That you're asking double digit percents of the entire population to leave cities and just... what? Suddenly have new homes in a region with plentiful resources and access to water and food and an economy and no disaster potential?

Is it a bad thing to compare entire states to missile testing grounds?

Is this satire?

I have heard the same response from junior devs and external contractors for years, either because they copied something from StackOverflow, or because they copied something from a former client/employer (popular one in China), or even because they just uncritically copied something from another piece of code in the same project.

From the point of view of these sorts of developers they are being paid to make the tests go green or to make some button appear on a page that kindasorta does something in the vague direction of what was in the spec, and that's the end of their responsibility. Unused variables? Doesn't matter. Unreachable code blocks? Doesn't matter. Comments and naming that have nothing to do with the actual business case the code is supposed to be addressing? Doesn't matter.

I have spent a lot of time trying to mentor these sorts of devs and help them to understand why just doing the bare minimum isn't really a good investment in their own career not to mention it's disrespectful of their colleagues who now need to waste time puzzling through their nonsense and eventually (inevitably) fixing their bugs... Seems to get through about 20% of the time. Most of the rest of the time these folks just smile and nod and continue not caring, and companies can't afford the hassle of firing them, then you open LinkedIn years later and turns out somehow they've failed up to manager, architect or executive while you're still struggling along as a code peasant who happens to take pride in their work.

Sorry, got a little carried away. Anywho, the point is LLMs are just another tool for these folks. It's not new, it's just worse now because of the mixed messaging where executives are hyping the tech as a magical solution that will allow them to ship more features for less cost.
"data interchange format" is synonymous with what I said. Also consider there are no comments.
Yeah, DBOS Cloud automatically (horizontally) scales your apps. For self-hosting, you can spin up multiple instances and connect them to the same Postgres database. For fan-out patterns, you may leverage DBOS Queues. This works because DBOS uses Postgres for coordination, rate limiting, and concurrency control. For example, you can enqueue tasks that are processed by multiple instances; DBOS makes sure that each task is dequeued by one instance.

Yeah, I was wondering if it was FTS. I guess it doesn't really matter as FTS is just designed to intentionally cause the same kind of RUD that happened anyway. The main criteria is a RUD sufficient to ensure pieces small enough to burn up on reentry. From the looks of the explosion from the videos helpfully captured from the ground, the RUD certainly looked sufficient. Given it was 146km up at >13,000 mph, rolling down a window would trigger a sufficient RUD.

At those speeds, temps and pressures exploding into tiny pieces isn't just easy - it's the default. NOT exploding is much harder!
Agreed, this was the most poignant object for me in the article!

Price gouging isn't actually what we're seeing in the most disaster prone areas. Insurance companies aren't charging open ended prices, they're simply exiting the market. Florida for example.
Wind-stoked wildfires are not cat4 or something tornadoes.

Even NASA years into their existence has suffered catastrophic fatal failures. Even with the best and most knowledgeable experts working on it we are ultimately still in the infancy of space flight. Just like airlines every incident we try and understand the cause and prevent it from happening again. Lastly what they are doing is incredibly difficult with probably thousands of things that could go wrong. I think they are doing an amazing job and hope one day, even if I miss it, that space flight becomes acceptable to all who wish to go to space.

Various reasons, using 128 Bits of entropy in Session Account IDs allows Session to use 13 word mnemonic seeds, instead of 25 word seeds, which makes the UX of writing down and saving mnemonic seeds easier, the claimed reduction in security by the researcher is incorrect.

Having used them, they are as stupid as you imagine and more so. I just don’t bother with them because it always ends with disappointment.
Insurance should not be for profit, and things like e.g. State Farm suddenly cancelling people's renters/fire insurance just two weeks before the fires (I am one of those people) are what people hate about insurance. No one is arguing that insurance is bad at risk assessment, but rather how they wield their proficiency with it.

It's a cross-platform spiritual successor of WPF and it kicks ass!

Android too in a way via Android Verified Boot. I think ChromeOS uses AVB as well.

Android Verified Boot extends the System on chip Hardware based secure boot to the kernel and rootfs.
Root of trust is fused into the SoC, and second stage bootloaders are signed. Second stage boot loader eg uboot,UEFI/edk2 contains a public key that is used to verify a signed AVB partition. This signed partition contains signed rootfs dm verity metadata and signed hash of the kernel(+initrd). AVB validates kernel hash with expected hash and loads kernel if good. It provides the trusted rootfs verity hash to kernel via cmdline. Then when kernel reads rootfs, the dmverity system will calculate hash and check if matches the expected one. If not, the system reboots and the AVB metadata is flagged to indicate tampering/failure of the rootfs.

edit to add:
If the SoC supports hardware based full disk encryption, the filesystem can be encrypted as well, with the key being stored in Androids secure key store. Android though has moved away from FDE in favor of file based encryption.
Indeed everyone needs to be compensated somehow regardless of what they enjoy doing or are capable of doing.
