> Yes, I remembered now, I had almost 200 really crappy PIC16F1782 chips, left over from an update for one of my clients

> First problem there are not enough GPIO pins on the 28-pin PIC to drive 128 LED’s, plus an address line, plus a serial receive pin, minimum GPIO’s for that is 24 (16×8 LED scan matrix)+4(address)+1(RXD) = 29. A simple solution is to add two 74HC595 shift registers to increase the outputs by 16 at the expense of 4 pins to control them.

Wouldn't the simple solution be just to split the matrix in half and throw second PIC in there? Or just make 1U panels instad of 2U?

Also the PIC is rated to sink/source 25 mA so you could have skipped the led driver transistors, making the boards even simpler.

Yes absolutely. That is why I said it was in south. That is a big problem. I know for a fact, that in Berlin there are much more good SW devs. but here around they are scarse.
It's true that the speed of light prevents it from actually happening, but you should still be able to imagine it.
Nix's ecosystem really has exploded over the last couple of years. Even very obscure packages can be found, that are definitely AUR/PPA-territory in other distros.

The Maryland DMV used to be quite efficient. Once, having mislaid my driver's license (at my mother-in-law's, 100 miles away), I drove to the Wheaton DMV, and was out within 20 minutes with a new license.

This was about two years before 9/11, after which a whole lot of rules came down about verifying one's identity, and the DMV then crawled.
Closed loop is the control method, "servo" describes an assembly of a servo motor and its controls.

Good closed loop stepper controllers are a huge step up (heh) from open loop control, but there's a big difference in characteristics of a stepper motor - which is a very special motor configuration making huge trade-offs specifically to allow repeatable open-loop operation - and the more standard servo motor choices. Because steppers are special you also tend to specifically say "closed loop stepper" rather than considering it a servo.

Be a bit careful with random closed loop controllers though. Cheap ones can be finicky, and poor tuning and broken failure modes is no fun when used in machinery that could injure you, which tends to be where such steppers are installed. Aggressive and erratic movement or randomly entering fault and powering down is quite a lot different from simply losing steps.

With OIDC, that's what the `sub` identifier is for. Apparently, this changes for 0.04% of accounts (according to "a staff engineer at a major tech company" quoted in the article), but it's what Google tells you to use to identify a user. When a domain expires and you re-register for OIDC with Google, the `sub` claim will differ and the application should refuse your login attempt.

If the `sub` claim does indeed change for no good reason, that's a bug on Google's side, but I can't find anything online to corroborate that claim. The sub value changing when accounts are recreated could be a pain for large companies to deal with, but other than that the solution is pretty simple.

There are no good alternatives for email addresses that are also human readable, unfortunately. Some web3.0 cryptocurrency projects do encryption based authentication that solves this problem (but makes your accounts impossible to recover if you lose your key file). Passkeys/WebAuthn also try to solve this problem by foregoing the entire username requirement, but websites still ask for email addresses just in case.
You can do it easily with non-DRM books (or DRM stripped books):

For Android:

- Moon+ reader pro
- some paid high-quality TTS voices (like Acapella)

For iOS:

- Kybook reader and internal iOS voices (no external TTS voices for the walled garden)

This works well enough to listen to a book while you walk and when you get back home read on the WC from the place you stopped.

Additionally if you buy a tablet or an android ebook reader, you install the app there an you can continue on your bigger/better device seamlessly.

> I find it hard to think of school as anything more than forced internment for children while their parents go to work

Open an history book and look how it was before schooling was free and mandatory.

I do agree that the most recent spin on it is far from ideal and that the underlying goals seem to have shifted, but I can clearly and easily imagine an alternative way that doesn't involve home schooling.

The problem is the same as in many other industries, once you optimise everything to please the capitalistic beast we created you're set for personal hell
I think it’s the opposite. They want the US to defend Taiwan
>so what do we do with property that should be seized by the state?

Just don't. God forbid a drug dealer keep his car.

It hurts society less to not seize things than to have the police routinely seizing things on the pretext of suspicion of involvement in a crime.
Such as? I'm honestly and genuinely curious.
that's the thing. it's not just for accessibility. anything not already narrated is a fair target for TTS. i don't have time to sit down and read books. all reading is done on the go, while getting around or doing daily routines at home. i have a small book that i am reading now, which should take a few hours to finish, but in the time i manage to get done reading it i will probably have listened to two or three audio books.

oh, and it's also a boon for those who can't afford to buy audiobooks.

You are exactly correct - the combination of deep belief in the ability to obtain quick riches by investing in the "next big thing" aligned with a large gap of knowledge between reality and hype, all mixed into a milieu of in-group speak and customs always leads to the proliferation of the con.

Yeah sure! We mentioned a little bit in the post that we stumbled upon this problem when working on a synthetic data contract. Internally, we were building software at the time to fully automate the process of creating synthetic data, all the way from purchasing assets to building scene layouts to rendering images. We realized after 2 months of building that there wasn't a great need for this problem nor could we build something minimal but feature-complete that we could give to people and iterate off of. We also saw the writing on the wall re: building 3D world models (see WorldLabs and NVIDIA's new 3D world models). We're excited to see where this goes!
>It's never made sense to me, but the standard explanation is that because they aren't accusing a person (the owner of the money), but only accusing an inanimate object

That is correct, but you need to understand the context. It originated in the 1600s as a way for maritime law to deal with pirate/smuggler ships who were operating in international waters, not flying the flag of any nation, and with no registered owner. Charging the ship and its contents with the crime rather than an unknown individual made sense in that context. Applying it to a car registered in the United States, driving down a highway in the United States, and being driven by a US citizen makes absolutely no sense because standard law can and should deal with that situation.
If you get convicted the court can seize the funds as part of the sentence

Take the two sets of numbers and ask someone to draw a diagram of the probabilities.

Your numbers: they will draw something not even close to reality

My numbers: they will draw something close to reality

That’s the whole argument. You are engaged in, again, fully transparent, unconvincing, and unimpressive deception.

And it’s weird because I don’t know who you think you’re convincing. Hopefully it isn’t you!

> Trump is literally Hitler

Like he said, "It's getting tedious to see the hysterics."

Why didn't Trump seize power during multiple key opportunities in his term (soon after inauguration when his supporters and his rhetoric were at their most right-wing and Republicans held everything, or during the pandemic)? Why is Trump such a fan of Israel and their American counterparts?

I think uncle H would not approve of your comparison.
Exactly this.

DynamoDB is a pain in the ass if you want to do too many relational or arbitrary queries. It's not for data exploration.

It is my favourite database though (next to S3)! For cases where my queries are pretty much known upfront, and I want predictable great performance. As Marc Brooker wrote in [1], "DynamoDB’s Best Feature: Predictability".

I consistently get single digit millisecond GETs, 10-15ms PUTs, and a few more milliseconds for TransactWriteItems.

Are you able to complex joins? No. Are you able to do queries based on different hash/sort keys easily? Not without adding GSIs or a new table. The issue in the past few years was the whole craze around "single-table design". Folks took it literally as having to shove all their data in a single table, instead of understanding the reason and the cases that worked well. And with ongoing improvements of DynamoDB those cases were getting fewer and fewer over time.

But, that's what tradeoffs are about. With on-demand tables, one-shot transactions, actually serverless storage/scaling, and predictable performance you get very, very far.

Mundane != commonplace, in 1969 when the very first 747 entered service there was exactly 1 of them in service. It took a long time to build up an actual fleet of them.

Aircraft are a durable good, 20 year old aircraft are in regular service even today.

> quick and mundane which the Space Shuttle accomplished in spades.

Again perception not reality, from 1981 to 2011 each shuttle averaged roughly 1 flight per year. The program was paused twice for multiple years after each failure.

It was very much still an experimental program where they where they constantly tweaked things not a mundane just do everything the same every time kind of thing. “Shuttle main engines 104 percent” because the RS 25 went through a series of upgrades. FMOF, Phase I, Phase II (RS-25A), Block I (RS-25B), Block IA (RS-25B), Block IIA (RS-25C), Block II (RS-25D): First flown on STS-104.

> Russia was never considered Western

So rather than falling, that suggests an overall trend of political ascendancy of the west through at least the fall of the USSR in 1991.

> perceived as bad) economy

Perception has become wildly devoid of reality. The US economy handled COVID amazingly well, but we’ve become so used to success we don’t even understand what it means to suffer minimal issues. We’ve had such long term success we’ve forgotten what failure looks like, that’s about the opposite of failure.

> The article laments their removal as a tragedy

I don't think the article calls it a tragedy - just removal of an option for users expressing themselves. Main concern is in what that move indicates of Meta's new position, IMO.

> If someone is "expressing themselves" they are [...]

> [Parsing A:] communicating to others [the things they consider meaningful in their life] beyond an aesthetic choice

Aesthetic choices, like wearing a t-shirt of a band you like or creatively decorating your home, are a pretty common way for people to express themselves. Probably what I see the term applied to most frequently, even.

> [Parsing B:] communicating to others [the things they consider meaningful in their life beyond an aesthetic choice]

The aspect of themselves that they are expressing may have significance to them - that does not imply that the aesthetic choice itself (through which they express that aspect), be it badge or software theme, is what gives their life meaning.

> Why were such policies implemented in the first place?

Some, like suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story, I think were fairly directly at the behest of the democratic party. The themes (and similar changes, including those made during or persisting through the previous Trump administration) seemed intended to appeal to an LGBTQ/ally userbase, which Meta have now determined benefits them less than appealing to the Trump administration. I do not believe Meta is acting based on what is good/bad for society in either case.

ADHD and autism are diagnosed based on behaviors. This might work for cases at the more extreme end of the spectrum, but when it comes to trying to identify more mild cases, you are going to start seeing a lot of overlap in behaviors of the larger population. Couple that with extra funding for kids who can be said to have ADHD and autism, and you get a recipe for overdiagnosis.

Maybe it is worth it to try to make sure fewer kids with the issue slip through the cracks at the expense of diagnosing kids who don't actually have it. Maybe it's not, but it makes sense why it can happen.

Maybe dividing opinions and advocacy into two parts like so:

Does the opinion or advocacy have a direct bearing on the success or improvement of the company?

If yes, it's a good co-worker thing; share it

If no, it's a irritating co-worker thing; share it selectively or not at all.

That Linux is better than Mac or Windows is not likely to bear directly on the success of most companies, etc.

From Elon's Tesla Anti-Handbook:

“Your #1 job — everyone’s #1 job — is making this company a success,” the document states. “If you see opportunities to improve the way we do things, speak up even if these are outside your area of responsibility. You have a personal stake in Tesla’s success so make suggestions and share your ideas. Your good ideas mean nothing if you keep them to yourself.”

Obviously he wants opinions if they bear on the success of the company
I thought this was going to be a website managed by an experienced user of FFmpeg sharing from their collection of accumulated knowledge, but then was immediately disappointed on the first example I clicked on.

Don’t call two extra tools to do string processing, that is insane. FFprobe is perfectly capable of giving you just the duration (or whatever) on its own:

ffprobe -loglevel quiet -output_format csv=p=0 -show_entries format=duration video.mp4

Don’t simply stop at the first thing that works; once it does think to yourself if maybe there is a way to improve it.

There is another reason which I dislike this which is that now Apple has reason for "encrypted" data to be sent randomly or at least every time you take a picture. If in the future they silently change the photos app (a real risk that I have really emphasized in the past) they can now silently pass along a hash of the photo and noone would be the wiser.

If an iPhone was not sending any traffic whatsoever to the mothership, at least it would ring alarm bells if it suddenly started doing so.

I no longer check with these AI tools after a number of attempts. Unrelated, a friend thought there was a NFL football game last Saturday at noon.

> If you take over a domain, you automatically own every email address in that domain, and thus whatever external account relies on that email for login

Actually, if both sides implement OIDC+OAuth2 correctly, you don't. The subject claim (`sub`) of the attached Google account doesn't get reused when a new owner re-registers the domain with Google.

The article claims that the supposedly immutable `sub` field changes too often, though, and that would be a problem Google needs to fix. The source is an unnamed developer mentioned at https://youtu.be/yIutY_X2FcU?t=20617 who encounters issues with custom domain users, with the `sub` field changing weekly in some cases.

Sure, you can create new accounts when you take over a domain and even fake all the old accounts if you have a list somewhere, but you shouldn't be able to access all of the accounts authenticated with OIDC unless you break into the Google Workspace account.
I used that TTS feature semi-regularly on a Kindle 2.

It wasn't a good experience but it was nice to be able to keep 'reading' a book while I was exercising.

It worked for me for over a decade, until I broke the device. I don't know if I never updated the firmware or if the fact I used Calibre to convert books bypassed the feature gate.

I like thought experiment.

let's think

1. CCP took over California by force
2. CCP killed everyone who resists
3. CCP leaved, but built a puppet regime
4. The puppet regime rewrite schoolbook, taught everyone they're not American
5. 100 years later, a poll found that 68% of the respondents identify themselves as Californians

I must admit this is a bad thought experiment because Americans lives in a stolen land, it's not same as Taiwan
Fair, still calling it a successor just because it was founded by some employees is reaching. Nokia still exists and has just lent its brand and some patents to HMD.
