>> Atlassian is nothing if not consistently mediocre at integrating their purchased properties into each other.

I can't think of any company off the top of my head that has acquired a company and successfully integrated their tech stack into their own product offering. I work for a huge health care company whose stated goals are to grow through acquisition and in the 5 years I've been here, none of the painfully long process of integrating another companies tech has gone well - at all.

If anybody has any good examples of this happening, I would love to read about them.

> getting more speed than these did efficiently is probably hard,

A new probe wouldn't necessarily need to travel faster than these to not be on Earth when the sun dies.

The idea of there being a minuscule chance the Voyager probes hit anything is fair, but even a third one of the exact same model launched in the exact same direction has just as much chance of surviving just as long, barring wild speculation that could easily go either way.

The hard part of robotics are the edge cases. The things that happen 0.1% of the time that will interfere with the automation promised by the robot. Simulation, especially when driven by RL, i.e., based on models learned from data, are extremely bad at predicting these edge cases. In fact, I would argue that if you already knew the edge cases and could simulate them, you wouldn't need to simulate them in first place. Besides that, I doubt that the fidelity of your simulation will even cover that.

Anyone who's worked in robotics for a couple of years knows this and can share anecdotes. My favorite ones are sun reflections on the floor in a specific corridor at a specific customer at a specific time of day and season and direction of travel, that resulted in washing out the pattern projected on the ground by the 3D camera. This is not the kind of stuff you model upfront (unless you already know to worry about reflections, in which there is no need to model and simulate, just account for it in your design). This is only one of many examples.

I use b4, it largely solves sending code. It doesn't help with reviews though. (b4 shazam makes the manual application of patches to prepare a git-range-diff a bit easier but it's still basically a half baked process. It's fundamentally harder to to review patches than to review Git commits, a few thousand lines of Python won't make that reality go away).

> As long as you can send and receive email, you can contribute.

Sending and receiving email has so many barriers! The Linux Foundation literally has to manage a mail server that people who can't get access to a working mail setup can use! Saying that email is a sensible lowest common denominator is crazy. The reality of it is that the kernel community is majorly dependent on GMail and GMail isn't even a good mail service for the job!

Using a git forge is dramatically easier to use and easier to set up, host and maintain.

However, AFAIK there isn't a forge that exists today that can actually meet the kernel's needs though. Switching to one would be a significant project. (But if the core maintainers wanted it, it would be very feasible).

No, not at scale. There's no scenario in which this would become an economically worthwhile approach.

There is no commonality between the air interface etc between Starlink and the other networks, so you couldn't reuse terminal hardware off the shelf.

You could possibly reverse engineer a terminal and write entirely new firmware for it, but it's full of semi-custom silicon and so this would be extremely expensive.

There are secure boot protections, so you couldn't mass deploy that firmware in the field anyway. Each would need expensive individual rework by skilled hands to be converted.

Devil of a time digging up the original source, but here it is.

> People who take aspirin, drink coffee, and use tobacco, have a much lower incidence of Alzheimer’s disease than people who don’t use those things. Caffeine inhibits brain phospholipase, making it neuroprotective in a wide spectrum of conditions. In recent tests, aspirin has been found to prevent the misfolding of the prion protein, and even to reverse the misfolded beta sheet conformation, restoring it to the harmless normal conformation. Nicotine might have a similar effect, preventing deposition of amyloid fibrils and disrupting those already formed (Ono, et al., 2002). Vitamin E, aspirin, progesterone, and nicotine also inhibit phospholipase, which contributes to their antiinflammatory action. Each of the amyloid-forming proteins probably has molecules that interfere with its toxic accumulation.

Hi, thank you for your question!

I have been interested in this since I was in college. I was building a capacity counting system for our gym. Our gym used density.io and seemed like a waste of money and I though how about if we could have our own solution homegrown by students. But I couldn't get people on board, but I was able to prototype something.

The thermal camera is just a pixel array, which each pixel is denoting its temperature. Kitchens are tricky, since hot items can gravely affect the temperature readings. I use it at the entrance to check if my roomie is in or not/.

you have drivers for amg8833 in rust and c I believe, but adafruit stuff is good in python so I would say its a good place to start IOT projects! You can write your own drivers, which is quite fun!

More than one A-to-D conversion would knock it down to no more than 33.6. Pair gain units would cause problems. Bridge taps and load coils could also be problematic, but that was much more of a concern on DSL. Older amplifiers had very narrow filters and would also cause slow speeds. Echo cancellation hardware would ignore the in-band signal to get out of the way and cause problems.

As there was no legal compulsion to get them to act Bellsouth wouldn't do anything to help slow connect speeds for internet dialup. The trick was to lie and say you were having problems sending a fax, then they were required to act. They wouldn't even worry about testing first, as it was quicker to just re-engineer the line to the best practices of the day.

That's exactly what I'd expect to happen, but I suspect we may have different definitions of "rapidly" here. Aerospace development requires building and testing stuff, and AI can only help so much there.

Regardless, we're back to MAD doctrines again. How many and how effective are your interceptors? How many nukes do you expect to be launched? What's your tolerance for failure? Margins for error are slim and consequences are rather dire.
Yay....? Inflation is still inflation.

>Economists and market participants worry that the Trump tariffs will raise prices and slow growth. However, White House officials point out that tariffs did little to stoke inflation during Trump’s first term

Because first term he threw out some token tariffs and then said something about it not being easy and he did nothing after that. This is different.

> First strike from a rogue state is basically nuclear terrorism

Obviously by definition someone can attack first, however:

“First strike capability is a country's ability to defeat another nuclear power by destroying its arsenal to the point where the attacking country can survive the weakened retaliation while the opposing side is left unable to continue war.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_strike_(nuclear_strategy...

So yes in theory sure a first strike would take out nuclear silos, but neither side believed they could preform a successful first strike. It’s a theoretical goal, not something that seems to have been possible barring the very early days of the Cold War before ICBM’s existed.

Which then brings up the question of what exactly you target if you assume thousands of nukes will hit you regardless of what you aim for.
Why is a strong correlation need to forced into a false binary true or false by the law or government?? Myself and others have already gone over the outliers... Again you are focusing on "should be" vs what objectively and scientifically just IS. which is the very definition of culture vs science.

I wish more people would send things via `Share iCloud link` instead of just sending media directly. I usually try to do that.
I finally fee like this feature is pretty good at photo sharing, works well and bug free. The way it works is you select what media you want to share over iMessage (even >1k works succesfuly for me), and Apple then gives you link which when a recipient visits, they can directly add to their iCloud, seems like it's a backend-to-backend copy, since even very large transfers worked quickly like this for me. And the benefit is that it doesn't use up iMessage space (just iCloud photos space).

We developers seem to really dislike PDFs, to a degree that we'll build LLMs and have them translate it into Markdown.

> a proper runtime like JVM or .Net?

Or (god forbid) a proper runtime like just the OS and architecture of the platform you're running the tool on.

This article calling out Go because you have to prebuild binaries for every OS and architecture combination beforehand (even though you probably already know this combination and it's likely small) and saying that doesn't scale but then requiring every user to not just get the WASM binary they want to run but _also_ just get the (OS and architecture-specific) runtime for the environment seems unfair.

Anything where you distribute your application in a way that isn't immediately usable on a target platform without having to set up an environment of some kind feels like a 'Shift right deployment' kind of thinking, where it's fine to do the bare minimum to make your tool available and it's now an end user's problem to get everything set up to run it.

In some cases this is fine and the cost is low (same-language library usage for example) but when it comes to tool distribution every time I see 'cargo install' for someone's cute Rust project or an instruction to 'just do the following ten steps and you can run the executable' I usually just back away from GitHub and don't bother.
Absolutely. My brother in law has had a Model S then an R1T, and now a Cybertruck (that he plans to sell). The acceleration is fun as hell, when you do it. 100%.

And the best way to get from hydrogen to hydrocarbons might very well be processes that merge H2 (from electrolysis) with low value biofuels (usually hydrocarbons with a low amount of hydrogen I think?) into higher density synthetic fuels. That way you can use the waste parts of food plants, not so much for their (low) energy content but for their convenient access to carbon for "repackaging" H2.

EBITDA = Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization

Basically, it is a profit like number that tells you something about the core business, but it isn’t just the straight up raw profit number of having more cash than previously when all said and done. The person you’re responding to was claiming that they used this EBITDA number to claim they were profitable, when they really were not since presumably, once you account for those costs that are excluded from EBITDA, they may have not been profitable.
It's useful to have the plain text down the line for operations not involving a language model (e.g. search). Also if you have a bunch of prompts you want to run it's potentially cheaper, although perhaps less accurate, to run the OCR once and save yourself some tokens or even use a smaller model for subsequent prompts.

It's disappointing to see that the benchmark results are so opaque. I hope we see reproducible results soon, and hopefully from Mistral themselves.

1. We don't know what the evaluation setup is. It's very possible that the ranking would be different with a bit of prompt engineering.

2. We don't know how large each dataset is (or even how the metrics are calculated/aggregated). The metrics are all reported as XY.ZW%, but it's very possible that the .ZW% -- or even Y.ZW% -- is just noise.[1]

3. We don't know how the datasets were mined or filtered. Mistral could have (even accidentally!) filtered out particularly data points that their model struggled with. (E.g., imagine good-meaning engineer testing a document with Mistral OCR first, finding it doesn't work, and deducing that it's probably bad data and removing it.)

A single Orange coming in from Mexico isn't the $1 we pay at the store (forgive me, I'm in CA). Most of the price is the markup generated within the country by greed and the fact that the food distribution network over the past 20 years was allowed to be gobbled up by just a few companies that have, clearly, decided to illegally set up price fixing agreements (through intermediaries) (think real page for produce).

For Java, C++, and Rust there is also https://sux.di.unimi.it/ maintained by Sebastiano Vigna, a professor from Italy.

Together with his student (I also helped a bit), he wrote a paper about RecSplit, a minimal perfect hash function (MPHF) algorithm I have invented: https://arxiv.org/abs/1910.06416 - that algorithm uses around 1.56 bits per key. But it is quite slow. In January 2020 I presented the paper at a conference, that was right before the pandemic.

The algorithm with the least memory usage (and much faster as well) is now Consensus-RecSplit: https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.05613 - it can do 1.44 bits per key, which is right at the theoretical minimum (meaning, there is no good way to shrink it further). At least a small part of my original invention is still used there, nice. The fastest current MPHF is probably PtrHash https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.15539 - both papers were published last month (February 2025) by the way.

Any sort of "investing" and "wealth building" makes sense only if the given economic agent is not in huge debt, or that debt is very cheap.

At current 4.50% borrowing costs ... I guess it might not be entirely stupid to just pile on investments instead of paying off the debt, especially if your plan is to keep the inflation well above 4.50%.

Now, what exactly would be the composition of such an "investment" is another story, and I'm afraid it's not going to be entirely objective and fair.
