My understanding is that 6G is expected to make use of a good decentralised fibre network, with small radio units at the end points of this network providing the wireless contact point. With interoperability being on the books for 6G, whoever controls the fibre network is in for a lot of money (unless the article we're commenting on is right).

So it might make sense for operators to focus on developing fibre regardless.
At this point this is just a "no true Scotsman." Any counterexample you're offered, you decide doesn't count. I don't know why you're entrenched in this position, but I don't think you're willing to engage with it in a manner compatible with curious conversation. I think you're personally invested in this community and it's guidelines, so I think that's something worth pointing out to you.
At the risk of possibly sounding crass, the practical solution is to simply never tell them of the decedent's passing.

Unless the matter of concern is a legal or financial one (eg: bank accounts, pensions, insurance, etc.), quite literally nothing and nobody else requires knowledge that the account holder passed away.

Never tell Valve that your gamer dad passed away and they will be none the wiser and noone will have any problems as you "inherit" his account and its associated games. You're not trying to defraud Social Security as a 150 year old, after all (...right?).
so 9 is fast? The rest of the specs are not CPU.

My i7-13700H is shitting the bed due to poor software. Permanently on power-saving while charging because of "rapid charging". It'd be ok if it didn't render the whole computer useless at 400MHz, my first computer from circa 1996 is the only one clocked slower than that I ever had, and it had a turbo button
No one uses Ruby because it is fast. They use it because it is an ergonomic language with a battle-tested package for every webserver based activity you can code up.

> USAID systematically and internationally managed the flow of advertising dollars to major platforms via soft power

USAID money went to advertising? For whom? Or, are you saying USAID paid companies to advertise via certain channels? "Via soft power?" [0]

Am I just being thick? Can anyone explain to me what this means?

What is a Build Tool and what does it do?
Back in the day, if you knew the secret menu, you could change the default vocoder to use on the network. The cheap cell company I used defaulted to half-rate. I would set my phone to the highest bitrate, with a huge improvement in quality, but at the expense of the towers rejecting my calls around 25% of the time. When I would call landline phones, people would mention how good it sounded.
This is not a great method in a world with closed models and highly diverse open models and samplers. It’s intellectually appealing for sure! But it will always be at best a probabilistic method, and that’s if you have the llm weights at hand.

I'd also note that zero-knowledge proofs (which are considered a branch of cryptography) often do rely on NP-complete problems like the three-color maps.
Near my house in Portland a 6-unit complex just went up on a lot that was vacant for at least a decade prior. Three blocks from there they are building at least twice as many units on what was an abandoned church and parking lot. Neither project provides any parking, and the units are cheap. Something like 320k for a brand new 1000 sq-ft build. It’s so amazing.
Intel spend was spending upwards of 15% a quarter on stock buybacks, while also being stalled out on 10nm with the yield improvements "right around the corner", every quarter, for at least 18 months. I don't blame capitalism, but I do blame lack of regulation regarding stock buybacks, especially talking about the United States only home fab.
I had the same thought. The common reasons for such a decline would be something like change of CPU architecture prioritizing energy efficiency over raw performance, limitations in manufacturing processes, or changes in benchmarking methodologies wouldn't had such steep decline. So I would guess either change of methodology or as you said weaker CPUs in general are measured by that.

There's a lot that goes that you don't notice, or that you easily forget about when you make a comment like this.

The introduction of a gradient and accent actually enables and makes it more natural to use more eye-catching effects on the platform. For example, when a YTer says "subscribe", a rainbow (IIRC) animation plays on the subscribe button. When you like or subscribe, an animation plays that now has more color to it. These animations feel satisfying and I dare say have measurable impact.

At the same time, the changes are so subtle that users hardly notice a change that they will have difficulty getting used to, and also already present components do not look out of place if they don't get refreshed.

That is what an experienced design team is paid to do. Complaining about seeing no drastic change here is like complaining about engineers making no user-facing effect when they refactor the underlying systems in preparation for future developments.
It's not actually an OS, it's more like a simple stub from osdev, a simple program running on bare metal.
Yeah, sure! So there's a few ways you can think about it.

In a more general case where you can make no assumptions about what you're rendering, you first render whatever is on-screen (so that you can also calculate their heights and position other elements properly). Then you render everything else off-screen, measure the total height and set that as the height for your container (for your virtual list).

Then you could implement some sort of caching for the heights to reduce recalculation for future loads.

If you can make some assumptions, there are a lot of clever ways you could even skip the rendering-then-checking-height method completely. One example I can think of is for is images; the height of an image is already present in the metadata. You just have to multiply it with some scaling factor to make it fit in your UI. That's much faster compared to checking the height after rendering.

What Seen currently does is the first. But the next version is going to do the second: finding a way to set a note's aspect ratio constant across all configurations of screen sizes, so that you no longer have to wait for all that calculation to finish.

The pessimistic viewpoint is the hardware vendor would not mind if you felt your machine was slow and were motivated to upgrade to the latest model every year. The fact that they also control the OS means they have means, motive and opportunity to slow older models if their shareholders demanded.
>The harsh reality is that a culture of selfishness has become too widespread.

I'm not even sure this is a culture specific issue. More like selfishness is a survival mechanism hard wired into humans, including other animals. While one could argue that cooperation is also a good survival mechanism, but that's only true so long environmental factors put a pressure on people to cooperate. When that pressure is absent, accumulating resources at the expense of others gives an individual a huge advantage, and they would do it, given the chance.
It’s LinkedIn. Everyone knows it’s transactional and there is nothing wrong with that. If I’m looking for a job, I reach out to my network on LinkedIn and they usually respond.

If I have an open position at my company, I will post it on LinkedIn and people reach out to me.

There is usually a natural decay with how often you keep in touch with former coworkers.

I have been working for almost 30 years and there are six former coworkers I have spoken to in the last month and one of those is my wife.

JPMorgan CEO Dimon derides in-office work pushback, demands efficiency
Youtube is probably the most reasonable of the social media websites now. Well it was until Twitter was fixed by Mr Musk, anyway.

People have been allowed to post crazy nonsense on YouTube for many years. For a short period they censored quite heavily (2020-2023ish) but theyve backed off. It has never been as bad as Twitter or Facebook were where milquetoast 2008 Obama would have been banned ten times over.
DeaDBeeF already has both GTK and Qt UI plugin options, so just use the one that’s most native to your desktop (GTK: GNOME/MATE/XFCE/Cinnamon, Qt: KDE/Trinity/LXQt). If those UIs aren’t sufficient for some reason, since they’re plugins they can be forked and tweaked or if one was so inclined, they could write a whole new UI plugin. No need to wait on the author.

And while it’s true that Qt fits into a GTK desktop better than the reverse, I still find myself preferring using apps written with the toolkit that matches the desktop in both cases.
And as a higher-level configuration you can set most, maybe even all, of the relevant invisible characters (still not sure how 0x34f grapheme joiner fits in) at once with something like:

(custom-set-variables

(variation-selectors . hex-code))))

This will modify values in glyphless-char-display, but it's OK to modify those directly if you need to.

> You need to solve this problem before you take away parking, not after.

If you can't change anything then you can't change anything. Replacing parking spaces with bus lanes can be a huge improvement, but obviously you have to take the parking space away before you can put the bus lane in.

It's harder to find, so it's less likely to be noticed and exploited by a bad actor than a glaring issue. My experience has been that this is typical of these programs—you're trying to reward researchers for finding things that are likely to be exploited, so the more arcane bugs are less valuable.

I'm not sure I'd apply that logic if I were Google, though. Smaller companies it makes sense because the threat actors that they are most likely to face are mostly script kiddies who give you at most a day before they get bored and try someone else. Google is another matter, since they're always a target for much more sophisticated attackers.

Let’s say I am interviewing two people with the same technical skills.

I will say a couple of things:

* my Ford Focus EV had a very short lead time for parts because it was based on a platform (Focus) shared across many vehicles. Also repair cost was very low for a multi-car accident ($2k).

* Similarly, when common tech is spread across many vehicles (Kia/Hyundai eGMP or GM Ultium) those components are often easier to acquire.

Buying low-volume vehicles or from smaller manufacturers is a recipe for long wait times and expensive repairs. How many Corvettes does GM sell?

Fair enuf. I was really trying to comment on the ultra/arc chip performance.

> so 9 is fast?

seems to be - my previous laptop was a Core i7, and my new 9 Ultra one is definitely faster (for what I do with it). It goes into power saving only when it gets below about 30% of battery charge, and Asus give a lot of switches to fiddle about with that.
The point is not that all NP hard problems make bad cryptosystems, but rather the NP-hardness guarantee fails to translate into a useful guarantee for a cryptosystem.

It's about the proof, not the computation.
I have worked with trunk based development aka everyone just pushing change lists to perforce. I much prefer people making pull requests because I can make sure people fix things in code review before it gets merged to master.

Ultimately both systems can work and both can suck.
I still wouldn't want a Nissan commodity car. My family has owned a few and even Infinitis and it didn't turn out well compared to all the Toyotas that are still in the family. The G35 was a great car, but those days are gone.
It took a few tries, but I got Wolfram Alpha to compute its velocity compared to the speed of light[1].

I started with:

sqrt(1-((1/(1+120 PeV / (neutrino mass * c^2)))^2))

but it simply said "data not available". So I changed:

120 PeV to 120e15 * 1.602176634e-19 kg m^2 s^-2
neutrino mass to 1.25e-37kg
speed of light to 299792458 m/s

and finally it gave a numeric result:

0.999999999999999999999999999999999999829277971

(that's 36 nines in a row). Pasting it in Google says the value is "1", which is… not far off.

If you want details about the way this is calculated, I dug up the formula from an article I'd written about particle velocities in the LHC, back in 2008[2]. For comparison, their 7 TeV protons were going at 0.999999991 × c.

Apple Resumes Advertising on X
If you use dynamic linking, you will get all of libc mapped into your address space. It won't all be faulted in; just the parts you call. The parts you fault in should point to the same physical frame of memory that other processes have faulted in that have also called the same part of the library. That's why it's a "shared library".
Mike Benz doesn't look particularly educated on the subject of USAID. It's not simply a front for US imperialism. It's the US mechanism to accomplish foreign policy funding objectives. That includes things that fall under the umbrella as well as activities like HIV research/treatment/prevention and international food security.

As anyone who's worked with NGOs knows, public health campaigns in third world countries naturally involves public information campaigns. During COVID, USAID put together an informational primer on social media disinformation to educate partners about how disinformation works, linked here [0]. This is what Benz is referring to and I recommend reading it yourself. It's pretty innocuous and it doesn't actually call for USAID (or other government agencies) to redirect funding to different social media platforms. Rather, it recommends that platforms implement fact checking and that governments should support free and open journalism.

I'm struggling to understand your point. You seem to be saying that Musk is trying sell a product to people but at the same time taking away their ability to pay for it. Logically, that means nobody would be buying the product, which leads me to conclude the thinking you express above is flawed.

Another aspect is that, if someone took a much simpler, more readable and concise version of the content in the article and fluffed it up with an LLM it can come across as rude or time wasting like articles that are artificially extended to maximize ad impressions.

> If other people embezzle as well, send them to prison, but there’s no universe in which Ghosn is clean.

Well, selective justice is a form of injustice. I only have superficial knowledge of the Ghosn saga, but if what the GP alleges is true, then it's not fair to Ghosn that he's prosecuted for something that others get a pass. Of course, I take your point that it's entirely possible to be a bigcorp CEO without fraud and self-dealing.

To scale it down, lots of people drive over the speed limit, which is against the law; but only some people get pulled over and ticketed for it. Many people also observe the speed limit. In the Ghosn analogy, suppose that Japanese drivers got a pass, but foreigners didn't.

Should everyone get pulled over the instant they exceed the speed limit? Do we want to live in such a world? Is it just a matter of scale, the difference between driving a car too fast vs. stealing millions of dollars from your employer?

50% savings seems very optimistic. If you drill all your holes, switch once, then drive all your screws, there's only a few seconds this thing can possibly save you. Then you consider that it takes a smidge more effort to drill with this sub-optimal bit, and it's really a stretch. There would have to be some aspect of the project's assembly sequence that required you to switch multiple times.
Subaru has the snowy country people and gays down. Nissan used to have the same type of affinity with black customers - when treating alienated customers with respect is a novelty, people demonstrate loyalty.
Interesting concept but 50% saved time in the video is exaggeration - when you have 10 holes to drill and screw then just first drill 10 holes, change ending in your tool and then screw 10 holes. If you doing this whole day then have just 2 tools - you need this at least for backup if one tool breaks.
I've been trying to think about the cognitive dissonance that I might fall victim to as well as what I think I see in online discourse. Cognitive dissonance, but also binary thinking.

For example, if one were to compress a lot of the recent narrative we see, an alternative take on this news would be something like: "Apple supports far-right billionaire who gave Nazi salute and is transphobic". An alternative (gaslighting version) could be "Gay billionaire gives money to richest man on the planet who pushes Nazi propaganda".

If one is principled or a social justice advocate, should one then not decry (boycott) Apple and Tim Cook's actions? What about the shareholders of Apple? What about Apple employees?

And if you don't, is it because you don't really believe those accusations against said billionaire OR is that you would rather have your devices or your salary or your AAPL stock?
