So, according to those whose job is to oversee the intelligence agencies, the problem of illegal surveillance of Americans is that it was uncovered by Snowden, not that there was anything illegal going on right under their noses.

Typical commercial kombucha is about 0.5% ABV. Not exactly not alcohol.
I'm not sure how you get that from my comment.

If one is to cite what the Founding Fathers intended as justification for an absolute individual right to bear arms, one must confront the fact that they clearly didn't consider the fairly simply written First Amendment to be absolute. That points to an attitude of "well obviously we're not gonna be stupid about it" for other amendments introduced at the same time... like the Second.

If they felt the Alien and Sedition Acts complied with the First Amendment, I think it's reasonable to believe they'd consider the assault weapons ban to comply with the Second.
Bought a Pebble in 2018 and used it with Rebble. Loved the OS and interface - but the device was far from robust. The rubberized buttons eventually cracked and it became unusable because I could no longer press them.

A new version needs to have better buttons and please, please offer the option of a steel wrist strap. I've had Fitbits rendered useless because the plastic/silicone strap cracked and there was no way to replace it.
The URL I posted was https://www.superagency.ai/ , but it seems the site creators need to edit their canonical URL so it doesn't point to https://live-reidh-sa.pantheonsite.io/ (is that how it works?).
I love the way KDE handles system monitor widgets, especially nowadays. It's great for people that want to make graphs with desperate sensors like plotting your CPU temp against your GPU temp or your IO speed with your network speed.
Yeah something else I need to do. lazy question, if I have an IMU that is swaying around as I try to move in a linear direction (e.g. Forward) is that something this kind of filtering would be used for? Regarding displacement estimation.

Edit: I get fusion is regarding multiple sensors
Yes, it would be significantly smaller, but it would look very different depending on your platform, GPU, driver version, etc. -- the model would essentially need to learn how to map "graphics APIs" (e.g. OpenGL, Vulkan, Metal, ...) to "render result" for every combination of API, driver version, and GPU, which I imagine would constitute a significant amount of overhead.
When I realized that drinking a cocktail every night wasn't great for my health, I found the bitters + soda to be a great substitute. A shot of apple cider vinegar can add a bit of complexity to it as well.

[That's like] Me, with zero C/C++ experience, being asked to figure out why the newer version of the Linux kernel is randomly crash-panicking after getting cross-compiled for a custom hardware box.

("He's familiar with the the build-system scripts, so he can see what changed.")

-----

I spent weeks of testing slightly different code-versions, different compile settings, different kconfig options, knocking out particular drivers, waiting for recompiles and walking back and forth to reboot the machine, and generally puzzling over extremely obscure and shifting error traces... And guess what? The new kernel was fine.

What was not fine were some long-standing hexadecimal arguments to the hypervisor, which had been memory-corrupting a spot in all kernels we'd ever loaded. It just happened to be that the newer compiles shifted bytes around so that something very important was in the blast zone.

Anyway, that's how 3 weeks of frustrating work can turn into a 2-character change.
To be clear, the operating system is responsible for keeping track of timezone changes. Every major OS has a way for applications to be notified when the timezone changes. The major browsers are already hooked into these notifications, so what I'm suggesting is that when that event is received by the browser they should also emit a "timezonechange" event on the window. Any further handling is up to the developer.
An interface that accepts only certain things - not raw SQL - and only returns whats needed for the task at hand. Logging of who asked for what is good too but is not preventative.

The problem wasn't stablecoins, it was that you gave your coins to someone else to manage and they did a poor job at that. That high rate of interest you thought you were getting also came with a high rate of risk. The education around that was intentionally deceiving, which cast a poor light on crypto as a whole, which is unfortunate, at best.
Mass scale surveillance wasn't practical or affordable until Linux HPC and OSS. The whole community is enabling.
Eddie took over in 2005. Sears was profitable before the KMart merger. KMart was already owned by Eddie and already in bankruptcy during the merger.

Sears could easily have been Target or Wal-Mart. The company was full of people who knew retail and knew how to execute on retail. It was destroyed by absolutely horrible management by up-their-own-asshole finance bros who knew nothing about how to run a retailer and who refused to listen to anyone who did.

My current employer is also being destroyed by PE. This time the chief idiot is Paul Singer but otherwise the script is the same: the company had one issue that was depressing the stock. The PE firm and their McKinsey children went about doing everything possible except fixing that problem. Now the company is in a death spiral.
Experience is biological, analog, computers are digital; that's the core of the problem. It doesn't matter how many samples you take, it's still not the full experience. Witness Vinyl.

Agreed. Thanks for working through it with me. :)
I've started doing spirit free cocktails recently, but I definitely get that there are way less resources than regular cocktails. However, zero has a section on making backbar alcohols such that you might be able to use them on regular cocktails, by substituting the alcohol with their spirit free version. The taste won't be the same of course, and you might have to alter the dosage, but it's better than nothing. Perhaps you won't be able to clarify an alcohol free wine, but I'm sure there are recipes that aren't ruined by replacing alcohol with its non alcoholic version

I really like the temporal proposal, except for one thing: they rely on reference equality in comparisons. On other words:

Temporal.Instant.from('2020-01-01') != Temporal.Instant.from('2020-01-01')

This isnt inherently bad, but it effectively removes the ability to use these objects as Map keys or collecting them in a Set. I know why that decision was made, I'm just sad that this wont be possible. Maybe there will be some version that relies on records and tuples, if these ever make it.
I guess when I called them idiots the context in my mind was "how could they think they could get away with it using digital printing".

They've committed fraud, plain and simple. As a consequence now all things like this may get closer scrutiny and fakes like these will be binned.

>> In the present day, there is a critical shortage of ATCs, with the FAA having 1,000 fewer ATCs in 2023 than it did in 2012.

> If that's how they were hiring (although they don't do today), I could understand if that has a bit contributed to fewer ATCs today.

The shortage is that they have not been able to quickly replace all of the personnel that took early retirement options during COVID, while also stopping the hiring & training for an extended period during that time.
This is a pretty thorough rundown of what happened [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guantanamo_Bay_detention_camp#...]. It appears an earnest attempt was made, but was blocked by a republican-held congress.

During Trump's first term he signed an EO to keep it open indefinitely.

Even if Obama had closed it, do you think that would've dissuaded Trump from reopening it to create his freshly-minted, extrajudicial concentration camp?

Well, I have to say the more creamy Mocktails that use condensed sweetened milk or the ones using soy sauce are so savory that they probably would suck with alcohol, imho. I'd say there's a difference between just replacing alcohol with an alcohol less version and building structured spirit free cocktails from the ground up like those you can find in the books good drinks and Zero

The Athenians and Romans weren’t capitalist. But they were closer to it than Marxism or neoliberalism. (They both had private property, money in elections, trade, finance, et cetera.)

Most are what I'd expect from law enforcement, boring, but a few I'm surprised by.

The Genesis Market one featuring a guy in an FBI hoodie with the hood up which is remarkably casual and in marked contrast to the other with hooded figures representing the criminals.

The Operational Royal Flush one has a red matrix characters, a giant deck of cards and most surprisingly, most of the bureau logos are relatively small despite not lacking for space.

Then there is Operation Endgame with disintegrating network background which is a bit of a step up in terms of effort.

Not particularly professional, but still my favorite is probably Nemesis Market with the animation of a space ship blowing up "Nemesis" leaving behind a QR code. Not sure why you need a QR code on a website, but maybe they catch people who use their phones to visit the site or something.
Yep. Huge limitation of this approach is the assumption the code has always lived in the same VCS. I remember migrating a monorepo for geointelligence processing algorithms years back to multiple repos, and its own history was it had been in Mercurial before Git, ClearCase before Mercurial, and God knows what earlier than that. But I was reviewing old Fortran code for handling specific vehicle missions and could see from the mission codes that some of these were satellites launched in the late 80s, so the code itself had to be even older than that.
Their respective home airports, of course. ;-)
Mark Zuckerberg to employees in leaked all-hands meeting: 'buckle up'
I'm trying to remember the name of a manufacturing strategy, where different mildly-defective components are kept and combined to create a final product that still works because their physical or electrical flaws cancel out.

I think I saw in the context of a company that made radios, and at the time (80s?) it didn't really work out for them.
R package for collaborative writing of R Markdown documents in Google Docs
Rmarkdown, or now Quarto, is trying to improve scientific writing by combining writing and analysis (somewhat similar to Jupyter). I really like how you can get multiple outputs (html, pdf, word, ...) and easily change formatting (like latex).

However, it is difficult to beat Word and google docs when it comes to collaborative writing, and especially collaborating with labs having another workflow. The trackdown package offers a bridge - I think this is a space with many low-hanging fruits that can really improve research efficiency if developed further
Don’t delta updates usually use some binary diffing algorithm?
Even if they didn’t I can understand why would they make deltas using decompiled code and not the disassembled one.
Back in 2022ish a non-alcoholic bottle shop opened up across from my house so I went in with a group of 7 friends and we bought one of each bottle they carried at the time, their Amethyst Lemon Cucumber Serrano bottle was the only one that we all really loved and felt and tasted like a real spirit.

They've expanded their selection since then but I haven't tried another round since I am not dry.

I still walk over and get that bottle for parties though to accommodate my dry friends, it's amazing.
Yeah, they kind of made it seem like GUSD was backed by FDIC. I should have been more skeptical of that, certainly, but I feel that the marketing was misleading.

That said, I still think they're probably a bad idea.
Alcohol is distilled from sugar and its relatives. Glucose and its ilk.

A lot of "NA" beers are also 0.5%. Incidentally, freshly baked bread is also often around 0.5% depending on the type of bread, as are very ripe bananas.

If you want a not-really-beer that's trivially easy to make at home, I suggest kalja

Just mash 100% dark rye (weyermanns chocolate rye) for.... some arbitrary time period (hours, and you don't even really need to keep temp up), maybe with some sugar for speed, and then ferment for... days (? 2 days? whatever), strain, and bottle (if you don't care about carbonation, just use mason jars), and stick it into the fridge for another couple days.

It's anywhere between 0.1-0.7% ABV depending on temperature, length of fermentation, etc.

Bonus, compared to kombucha, it doesn't look like some alien growth thing while fermenting
I could never get into shrubs because the vinegar smell was overpowering. They tasted fine-ish, but no thank you.

Totally off topic, but it's funny how much of "modern" slang (whatever the generation) is present in hip hop culture years before. I noticed that when "twerk" became a thing; I remembered songs about twerking from years before that.

In this case, the term "bet": I remembered hearing that for the first time in the late 1980s in a song by Fresh Prince (Will Smith): "... bet, well let's go then..." (As We Go, 1988)
at least it's under version control. Not completely removed. Would be a bit grim if it was forced to be erased from history
It's easily possible that this was overlooked because when being in on the scam one will be less diligent about such things.

GP's assumption was travelling through space to avoid drag which doesn't necessarily imply generating lift in space.

My comment was not a support of that argument, but a clarification that simply being in space does not automatically mean no aerodynamic forces. I'm also not saying L/D increases, actually the opposite happens at higher speeds and altitudes.
Without getting into any specifics of it - I'm sure there's people with much more experience with these tools who can comment - I'll point out that neither buck nor bzl existed when JS decided to start building their own tool in 2012. Bazel's first release was in 2015, Buck's was in 2013.

JS does have a bit of a NIH culture, but I'm not sure if that was really at play here. There just...weren't very many good build tools available at the time, particularly for a company using an unorthodox tech stack.
Curious as to how this stacks up to some of the other AI copilots, I think Make and Zapier kinda have something similar?
I highly recommend trying to make some homemade ginger beer. It’s super easy, takes just a few days to ferment, lots of recipes online. Much better than the stuff in the store which is filled with added sugar or artificial sweeteners. Plus you can brew with extra ginger if you like it strong. Whatever you do, don’t ferment it in glass bottles. Use 2 liter plastic soda bottles.

In case it helps, I think producing binaural recordings, or using a custom listener app, would be appealing to "experimenters" if it were open source, but it doesn't strike me as something with appeal to consumers or professionals that would pay for it.

Since you're going for a paid approach, it does seem like you need to locate the audio professionals mixing for spatial audio on Apple Music and TV shows, to see if you can show them why your 3D editor results in a better surround/Atmos final result.

I will say that I've often wondered what it would be like to "walk through" a band or orchestra as they were playing, with the binaural audio adjusting accordingly, which would require a full 3D approach like you've created, not just angles. I once attended an art project of a choir singing in 360° in a circle around you, where you were invited to move around to change the "mix" of voices, and it was magical. I think that's what you must mean by "exploration of audio scenes" and it sounds really cool. On the other hand, it's hard for me to imagine how you'd turn that into a business. Especially since I assume that's already relatively easy to do with video game/VR engines, even if perhaps the binaural effect isn't quite as good?

Good luck! I think the concept is very cool, and I hope there's a way to monetize it as an independent product.
You mean if you’re driving? Sometimes there’s bad traffic around the ring and sometimes there’s not, a lot of airports are like that.
I don't agree with capital controls either, but it's still illegal in some countries. Basically any country where, in my opinion, it would be a good idea to use such services.
> Oh… dont tell me Quantum Spin just called Spin because it’s a Spinor rather than something actually metaphorically spinning?!

That's a great way to understand them if you are already comfortable with the algebra of spinors and spin groups, but it doesn't short-circuit the history—spinors were so called after quantum spin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinor#History), and I believe that was so called because, yes, it was envisioned as something at least conceptually spinning.
They just can't be. Concepts like the soul, the inherent dignity of man, and the orientation of humanity toward a single Good are incomprehensible in the framework of modern psychology or physiology. They are ruled out or at least set aside by the presuppositions used to simplify the world for scientific analysis. And these concepts do a lot of work in the note.

I don't know ocaml particularly well but my understanding is that only with buck2 (of those mentioned) do you have a build system with the semantics to actually compile ocaml properly.

In particular I was under the impression one needed to be able to run ocamldep before hand (or compile twice) - buck2 can do this, bazel needs hacks iirc.
Good things eh? The simplest Spring Boot program (assuming you can handle maven after this). The fact that Spring Boot is the end result of lot of de-FactoryFactoryization of Java shows how god awful standard programming in Java is.

import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;

@SpringBootApplication
public class MainApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(MainApplication.class, args);
}
}

import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api")
public class HelloController {

@GetMapping("/hello")
public String sayHello() {
return "Hello, World!";
}
}

Even C++ is better than this!!

CROW_ROUTE(app, "/api/hello")

});

app.port(8080).multithreaded().run();
}
Yeah, we had a global financial meltdown in 2008 because it turned out the people who graded securities didn't look too closely at what they were grading; turns out customers wanting their bonds rated wouldn't choose rating agencies that applied an inconvenient level of scrutiny.
