I care about things I can do something about. I'm disappointed that I can't change their mind, but I trust the universe to force their hand eventually. But being dissatisfied is not the same as caring.
You missed my whole point. Right and wrong do not matter. Nobody is listening. And, yeah.. . Somebody shouting angrily into empty space, no matter what they're trying to convey, is probably emotionally suspect. And I f it turns out there's a god, it doesn't make the guy with the megaphone shouting about the end times near the mall less tribal.
I don't care if people don't believe in AGW (or pick your label). Not important anymore. Floods and fires will destroy property, insurance will go up or vanish, food supplies will be impacted, populations will be displaced... the list goes on. And irrespective of our beliefs, each of us will have to deal with whatever those changes brings. It doesn't even matter if it's human-caused or not. That's semantics. Mitigation is demanded.
The camps are divided and it's no longer about rationality or cause and effect. It's tribalism, emotion, and the willingness to completely shut off all input. Nobody is listening. And the world can burn to a cinder with a great many people acting out the scene from Erik the Viking.
It's always worse because they are very conservative when predicting.
To a fault. But the fact that it's incorrect in the wrong direction should not give you the pleasure it seems to. This is the opposite of what should make you happy. You should be enthused when the world is serene in the face of doom predictions, not when it's burning down faster than anticipated.
Their latest Flash model goes live tomorrow. Price for cached tokens halved, other prices lowered. Since it outperforms their latest Pro model they will reroute pro requests to it until the pro version launches. It does seem to be a frontier model in every way except price.
About 90% of doctors consume alcohol.
I really have it the old college try. My liver - and all of my other organs - ultimately forgave my transgressions. We'll see what my brain says when I'm in my 60s, but... cross that bridge.
Fine to repackage their offer as traffic analytics as long as it is actually just that, meaning entirely giving up on licence plate OCR (the enabler of surveillance and law enforcement side of their product package).
Depends on the terms of their contract. If you believe the summary, then doing anything with the county's data other than serve it to them for the intended purpose is against the terms of their contract, which would make it actionable.
I've never met a DAW that didn't have a nightmare UI.
Audacity does not.
If I just want to futz with a audio clip, Audacity is the first choice.
The older I get the more I think we've forgotten how to make products that do their jobs well.
I fired my smart bulbs for being too clever at stupid tricks and bad at being lightbulbs.
For my birthday his year my mother bought me hands free soap dispensers that charge with USB and do the "will it or won't it" hand dance, and now I have to bring them out and hide my trusty unpowered pumps when she comes over. I could be mean, but she's coming up on 80. I'll play the game to make her happy.
My washer, dryer, and stove have apps. I've never installed or used them, so at least they are not mandatory. But now these same companies can't make a compressor worth a shit. They'd rather spend the money figuring out how to make a fridge advertise at you.
Throw Sonos on that dumpster fire. Too clever by a wide margin, and just shitty at making speakers.
Seems like the phrase "the greatest country on earth" has largely been retired. The only people using it are folks distasteful enough that the rest of the populace feels shame when they hear it.
I maintain this state of being is what happens when you spend a century shouting at every child that exceptionalism and toxic individuality is their birthright.
I prefer a PoE hat and PXE booting. I have about 14 of them doing different jobs all booting and running from a NAS. Makes remote updates easy too.
That sounds like a fine solution for a working network situation. My needs are more in line with putting Pis in places the network is spotty and I need them to survive for a while on battery and restart from local storage and keep on doing the thing when power is lost for too long. So a UPS hat and NVME seems to do the trick.
> random number generators replaced by domestic designs.
Do you have any information on that? Like which domestic designs? Is there a link?
I've designed the RNGs in several chips including the RdRand/RdSeed one in Intel CPUs. The AMD one was a bit weird but I have no information on it. In my current role we sell a couple of RNG silicon IPs to whoever wants one (a big fast one and a small slow one) and I've left behind a trail of RNGs in other places.
A thing I've noticed is that a number of the RNG IPs out there are not great, but they are for sale and people buy them, including national bodies looking for their own national secure silicon designs, but they're getting the RNG from a chop shop in Bangalore, except for India who's getting theirs from outside India.
>Just don't use SD cards for the OS on the RPi.
This. An MVME riser on a pi is a fine thing.
TheMiddleRoad was making a joke about the "cadence" cadence.
