I wondered how the math works out in reality.

https://energy-floors.com/products/kinetic-dancefloor/ implies one tile is rated at up to 20 W output. The 44 tiles Coldplay has would then be up to ~800 W (some of them seem less accessible). I guess I don't know enough to figure out how much it saves compared to the emissions of lugging it around, but I'm kind of skeptical it actually "boosts sustainability".

I was hoping to see some mention of latency. Agree with the premise that for most consumer applications we don’t need much more wireless throughput but latency still seems way worse than Ethernet heyday times in college
What‘s wrong with Connect from your perspective? My only concern with it is that it’s slow
If Nintendo wouldn't sue you for selling these, I'd say shut up and take my money. I do wonder if they'll definitely try to sue? Its really a shame, I never thought I'd see a project like this in my lifetime in all honesty. I would love to have something that lets me just keep playing my physical gameboy games indefinitely, so even if a truck crushes my gameboy, its nice knowing I can always print a new one.

I would love to see this done with the Super Nintendo.
I worked on something like this back in 2016, I'm not sure how much things have changed since then. I used dynamic binary instrumentation to deal with the field encryption. Basically, manually map the executable into executable memory on Linux (as if it were a shared library). Begin execution at the packet switch, but before executing a block of code, disassemble it until a conditional branch, and modify it according to some heuristics to remove the at rest encryption. The original block of code wasn't executed since it might not fit into the original block size, so new blocks were mmap'd for this. Malloc/Free were hooked and replaced with wrappers over glibc's free/malloc, but with bookkeeping so that the memory can be freed after execution of the packet switch. atexit was just replaced with a noop. That all just dealt with the encryption, but there were also randomized packet id's and field orders. Those problems were dealt with by using manually written heuristics based on the packet id's which were actually interesting. Packet handlers with references to text strings (even hashed ones), etc were a gold mine here because they made static detection of packet id's simple. If there was no text string, many of the offsets could be auto detected just by parsing a replay and running small snippets to determine which offsets actually "made sense" for the field that was being searched for. For example, if there was a gold gain packet, the amount of gold gained shouldn't be out of an expected range, or else the offset is likely not corresponding to that field. Once all of the high volume code blocks had been instrumented, replays were able to be parsed in 2-3 seconds (along with generating the desired data aggregations). This is all from memory so it's possible there could be a minor mistake or two.
Congrats. Life is a mystery. It sounds like you have found your best philosophy for dealing with this mystery.
NASA was paying Putin for RD-180 rocket engines and for launching satellites.

Now I have terminal tabs in my IDE and can mix and split with code in all sorts of ways
nothing to see here. this is entirely predictable, no insider needed.

The Trump/Musk administration is friendly to antidemocratic Silicon Valley billionaires. And surveillance tech is likely to prosper, even as record-keeping declines.
I mean, if I'm having fun and I'm productive, why do I have to justify my setup? But if I would, I'd say that VSCode didn't support all of the Vim functionality, so I started using NeoVim and to avoid managing multiple terminal windows I use tmux.
Jai has been in development for a decade. I would appreciate if it were finally open-sourced.
Alarms is unreliable for the basic functionality of waking you up.

Photos redesign makes it really hard to use.

Siri works half of the times, maybe even less than that.

Books lacks of basic functionalities such as downloading and keeping books on device.
Part of what Shoup talks about that gets less attention is actually managing parking when it gets scarce. Your reasoning about creating your own parking spot on your own property is correct. In terms of the street parking, there are various ways of managing it to ensure there are some spots free most of the time.
Still using 4G over here.
The distinction you make is irrelevant since both are under Congress' responsibility. The president has no constitutional authority to determine which currency is minted and how much of it is minted.

They were literally fighting together with the Germans against the USSR. Learn your history before making audacious claims.

For your other points, sorry but you don't get to escalate the conversation with new arguments without first answering to all of mine.

BTW 2021 is 7 years after the western backed coup (maidan). Hostilities had been going on for a while.
When people talk abouth NOAA, they're usually referring to the sub-agency National Weather Service (NWS).

As someone who has had experience at NOAA, I'd like to point out that the way they manage information security seems really wasteful. All of the tools they need are present in the environment, but there has not been sufficient political will for the various sub-agencies to work together and integrate them holistically. The net effect is duplication of half-baked cyber security functions across NOAA. The line items are purchased but the sub-agencies lack the man-power to effectively implement what's possible because government processes are too much overhead. It doesn't help that their FISMA-reportable "systems" are their sub-agencies and not actual systems. The 'mangerial class' that Republicans have rallied against during the 2024 election is sucking the lifeblood out of NOAA's IT operations.
147 days to fix that is just ridiculously long.This really shows the inefficiency of the whole google engineering layercake.
This kind of thing is why jj started with a strong library vs binary split; folks will be able to use the library and have full compatibility with other tools.
Good point. I misunderstood the situation. I figured doubling the VRAM size at the same bus width would halve the bandwidth.

Instead, it appears entirely possible to double VRAM size (starting from current amounts) while keeping the bus width and bandwidth the same (cf. 4060 Ti 8GB vs. 4060 Ti 16GB). And, since that bandwidth is already much higher than system RAM (e.g. 128-bit GDDR6 at 288 GB/s vs DDR5 at 32-64 GB/s), it seems very useful to do so, though I'd imagine games wouldn't benefit as much as compute would.
But doesn't it say that the whole patent system is broken? I get the "you pay to file a patent, it's your problem if it's invalid in the end". But the side effect of that is that whether it's valid or not, it's a tool you can use to scare those who don't have the resources to go to court.

It's like those completely abusive non-compete clauses in work contracts (yes in some countries that's the norm). They are completely abusive and therefore illegal. But it still hurts the employee: I have friends who have been declined a job in a company because the company did not want to take any risk. The company was like "okay, it's most likely an invalid clause, but if your previous employer sues us it will anyway cost resources we don't want to spend, so we'd rather not hire you". So an illegal, invalid clause had the effect that the company who abused it wanted. Which means it's a broken system.
I use screen all the time in an SSH session. Locally, not so much.

Although if I'm running something that I know will take hours, I tend to run that in Screen because I'm likely to nuke the terminal by accident.
Men are created equal, but not identical. That's why you should aim for equal chance, but shouldn't try to force equal results. Affirmative actions and such are stupid and I'm glad Trump is getting rid of them.
I did have to take my laptop out of my bag flying out of JFK the year before last and they said you could only have one electronic in your bag even with TSA Precheck.

That hasn’t happen before or since. At that time I had a client laptop, my company’s laptop (working in consulting), my iPad, and an external USB powered portable monitor in my carryon.
This will enable you to get the private e-mail of the google account that owns the channel, which is not necessarily the same one a channel may give away publicly.

So for some channels that provided no contact information, you now can acquire an email address, and for everyone else you may now get an additional one.

It also enables you to link multiple channels back to the same person.

Every bit of information you can get your hands on counts for social engineering attacks.

For very famous individuals this may also open them up to harassment. You can't find Elon Musk's private telephone number on the Tesla homepage for good reason. For that class of people, any time that sort of information leaks, they need to get a new private phone number/e-mail address.
> I expect a smaller company to have an easier time here as well, lessening the financial burden.

Why would you expect that? In a smaller company the ratio of developers to HTTP endpoints tends to be substantially lower (fewer devs per feature) than in a large company, so I'd expect the opposite.

Nothing about zoning is supposed to be set in stone.

And "change" is like squeezing a balloon. If you stop it in one way, it bulges out in other ways: unaffordable housing for instance. Change still happened, just different from allowing the physical form of buildings to change.
Thanks for posting this. I had just ran across this one and wondered if I should post it myself. Came here to see if someone had. I'd gone looking for this after reading about DeepScaleR yesterday.

I'm excited about the prospect of using formal methods to generate, analytically (not via LLM), synthetic problem+solution sets of perfect quality, of progressive size & complexity, for training; and then using RL, with progressive scaling, as in DeepScaleR.
It is a factor though. Most people will commit non-violent crime for a big enough pay off. Especially one where the individuals effected are hard to identify.

If my bug bounty is $10,000 and I can sell it for $20,000 then most people will take the legitimate cash. If it's $10,000 and some black market trader will pay $10,000,000 (obviously exaggerating) then there's a whole mess of people are going to take the ten million.
its not an excuse, it is an observation based on fact

my point was people of all political leanings can act like this. it's not exclusive to "far-right" people.

they don't care. that's why they're trolling
My experience is that the most overloaded software project name is “Apollo”. I worked at one big company that had three different internal services by that name. I blame NASA for this one :v
IMO a Honda Nissan merger would have been terrible for Honda.

Nissan is clearly an anchor, and acquiring it would have just dragged Honda down .

I got to see some of these in person, though at different conferences. If you're at all interested in Java, the talks by Venkat Subramaniam and Nicolai Parlog are worth a watch.
The president has broad authority to build his team and run his departments as he see's fit. Congress has the right to elect department heads but if a special initiative is created under the treasury department, that department does not need to be nominated. Elon has special overnment initiative to find massive waste... He has shown that the Social security database is de-duplicated and there are thousands of individuals above the age of 150. Hundreds of treasury employees have access to the same database he has, and most of the data analysis can be done open source via FPDS-NG.

Precisely. I just wasted all that time to read through that long opinion piece, only to shrug and think "to each their own."
I suspect the real selling point isn't genuine sustainability.

It's probably more about data collection with greenwashing on the side.
Nice. If you look at your city or state budget there is almost certainly some car boondoggle that could be canceled and redirected toward universal e-bike subsidies. Everyone should have an e-bike, not just delivery guys!
I think it’s up to them to decide. If they’re having fun doing it I don’t think there’s anything wrong.
Its the answer nobody hiring wants to hear, spend more (skilled not hr) human time screening and interviewing the candidates.

I know DeaDBeeF's lead dev (O. Yakovenko) from a game dev forum I frequented ~20 years ago. IIRC I regarded him as one of most competent people on said forum: he was an actual professional game dev, perhaps capable implementing a whole game from scratch, whereas most ppl on the forum were amateurs.
It's certainly better than cerulean blue.
The fact that the amounts in apple's bounty program can range from 5k-500k for a single category tells me that the answer is it depends.

It's most likely not just a comparison to black market prices or how many lines of code it'd take to patch.

If Tbp speed internet was the same cost and effort as Gbps/Mbps internet, obviously faster is better! The marginal returns on speed in most settings drop off pretty quickly.

There's nothing I hate more than having a $3000 computer that is trying so hard to save power that it goes into a deep power saving state between keystrokes, making it painful to type.
True, but that won't stop people.
> It can go too far the other direction too, for example the generic names like Files

The worst is when an application's display name is different from its actual name. Like on my MATE desktop it took me years to fully internalize that “Files” is actually `caja` if I want to invoke it from a terminal. At least Nautilus was a type of shell lol
People expect to be able to download an HTML file and for it still to be able to load an image with an external URL. If it can do that, it can exfiltrate (eg js can put data loaded from a local file in the src for an image on a external server).
Or maybe those countries' economies will collapse once they let AGIs control institutions instead of human beaurocrats, because the AGIs are doing their own thing and trick the government by alignment faking and in-context scheming.
That's like saying all beliefs are on equal footing, because people have beliefs. You should ask, what is the rationale for your belief? How many people have this accelerationist belief? Any more than the flat earth posse?

I don't think there is much of a real-life debate here. I bet the overwhelming majority of humans (say, 95%) would prefer humanity to continue to exist. Are you really taking the other side of this bet?

If you want to speak of universalizing beyond humanity, what is your case? It makes no categorical sense to reckon our toll on the universe. The universe was fine before we arrived and will remain unaffected if we disappeared. It has no preference. I don't understand your argument honestly, because you have not stated it.

I'm torn on this one.

On one hand, you don't own the street in front of your house. It's public and anyone can park there. And that's very fair.

On the other hand, I've lived in suburban neighborhoods without enough parking, and they look so run down and shitty--every street looks like Fast Eddie's Used Car Lot. If I was looking for a suburban home to move into, I would probably skip a neighborhood with streets blighted with parked cars everywhere. And definitely taking a lot that used to be zoned for a single family home and dumping a 14 family apartment on it will quickly turn a neighborhood into that street parking blight.
EFF Sues OPM, DOGE and Musk for Endangering the Privacy of Millions
Just because it has no precedence does not unconstitutional it make. I agree with the majority of the rest of what you've said.

No need for the 'you should carefully reread' snark. Not only am I the OP—but I've also passed a bar exam in my lifetime, which preparation included careful US constitutional law study.
Came here for `nohup`. Learned about `disown` and `reptyr`. Nah, I'll just use `screen`.
Nope. The article is much more like "if you drop parking lot requirements, you need to demand price parking so there are always a couple of spots available, drivers have incentives to leave, etc."
I don't think any one country would do this on their own, but a contested region that caused people to cooperate surely would. Like if Antarctica was turned into an international region, a bunch of countries would make it visa free as a matter of treaty.

Thank you! Yeah, I hear you on the framing. I don't have a formal education on data viz myself (I guess not many people do?), but I've gotten into the world over the last few years. A lot of the literature I've seen has come across as dogmatic to me, which is what sparked this article. That's great to hear that your experience is more aligned with this way of thinking.

And thanks for the nice words about the animations! Glad to hear that work doesn't go unappreciated haha
Liars lie, news at 11
Its based on the discussion it generates. If it generates heated discussions with little thoughtfulness or curiosity, it gets flagged and removed. Its effectively the opposite of how Facebook / Reddit / similar clickbait platforms work, and one of the key reasons we don't get as much low quality garbage comments here.
> Exactly, we paid for our house, the sidewalk in front of it, and the street beyond that sidewalk! And our enjoyment will be ruined by... seeing people on our street who don't live here!

I actually did. When I bought a house, we had parking minimums around here. And I'm also legally responsible for maintaining the PUBLIC sidewalk in front of my house.

Now the minimums are gone, and density went up. We have a couple of new slum boxes that are supposed to be "transit enabled", and of course most of people there have cars. Without parking. And so now the street parking is gone.
This basically means Nissan is dying. It's finances are screwed right now, and this was essentially their last hope. Nissan may not survive the year.
It's not always just "foreign" filesystems where it happens.

I hooked up my MBPro to my two Linux machines with Syncthing, and suddenly I had .DS_Store files in all my shares directories on both of those Linux machines.

I then had to set up .stignore files to ignore the further syncing of them and also had to iradicate the files manually.

My Syncthing shares were in my $HOME/Sync/ directory on my MBPro (M2), which should be the main drive mount as far as I'm aware?

During the rise of the generative AI backlash, I once saw a take along the lines of "data visualization doesn't count as art because you write it with code: art only counts if you put sweat and tears and labor into it."

I was too baffled to respond.
They could use a common XT90 or something similar. You find high amperage connectors on all the RC lipo batteries and they are cheap enough, you find them on $100 products (batteries).

I regularly work with 100amp+ at 12v. It’s obvious the connector NVidia is using is atrocious and we all know it.
This is entirely untrue. You are responding to a poster who has provided high-quality sources by just saying "nuh-uh".
Carefully watch how people treat strangers, because that's how they'll end up treating you as well.
I personally don't care, its just tiny files, Windows does similar with Thumbs.dll or whatever, I use git for important things which usually adds these files to my git ignore, but apparently sometimes these type of file leaks can lead to websites being hacked, since .DS_Store contains information about files in the current working directory, so if you say, upload a SQL script you use to migrate and it has a root password on it, an attacker might now know where that is on your web server.
An IDE generally adds another complexity layer, esp. if you’re not experienced in the language, that’s true. Maybe the reason I didn’t feel that was the gradual ramp up in using the IDE, and starting to play with a language in the terminal first.

I still don’t use an IDE for projects up to a certain size, but after a certain point, being able to also store all the nitty gritty bits about a project (building, profiles, environment, flags, etc.) in a project saves more time than it requires to set them up.
That's a valid concern. The theory that the population only gets education, health care, human rights and so on, if these people are actually needed for the rulers to stay in power, is valid. The whole idea of AGIs replacing beaurocrats, the way for example DOGE is betting on to be successful with, is already axing people's livelihood and purpose in life. Why train government workers, why spend money on education, training, health care plans, if you have an old nuclear plant powering your silicon farms.

If the rich need less and less educated, healthy and well fed workers, then more and more people will get treated like shit. We are currently going into that direction with full speed. The rich aren't even bothering to hide this anymore from the public because they think they have won the game and can't be overruled anymore. Let's hope there will be still elections in four years and MAGA doesn't rig it like Fidesz in Hungary and so many other countries who have fallen into the hands of the internationalist oligarchy.
Funny that's what those Nissan CVT's and variable compression engines are only good for, anchors.

This is clearly why people pay less for housing in locales like New York or San Francisco with very efficient land use than, say, rural Oklahoma.
At this point I feel like a rising stock price after a crisis should be a major red flag for long term corporate survival.

Carlos Ghosn was able to "turn Nissan around", but it was at the expense of future product capabilities (in my opinion) [Disclosure I work for GM, this is solely my own opinion]

Also, I must say that it is not clear to me that anyone could know what a long term winning play looked like 10-15 years ago when the damage was done (in my opinion). It takes a lot of effort and money to make a mediocre automobile, it takes a lot more to make a high quality automobile.
Or even just the next meal. We don't know their situation, and I've heard quite a few stories of the tech-adept being on the streets or behind bars. Some amount of greed is normal. It's when goes way beyond that, into averice that it's a problem.
