This is a bizarre story. If it's true that the chargers stir up a dangerous cloud, then what's happening when my neighbors runs a leaf blower, or I use my (electric!) lawn mower? I should be dead by now. Is there is a breeze? Kids! GET INSIDE! THE WIND IS BLOWING!
Anyone who says empathy is bad is an evil fucking monster.
Entirely unsatisfactory reporting. How did the next become radioactive? Where are the wasps feeding and obtaining water?
I wouldn't give her credit for a no vote unless the issue actually fails.
They let her vote no so she can pretend to have principles.
"Detachable covers for more than 800,000 home fragrance diffusers sold at major outlets nationwide have been recalled due to concerns that the product poses a serious choking hazard to children." Now you don't have to click the clickbaity title (unless you buy these things)
Fair point. I'm in a suburbia where that's not unreasonable. I still think my bigger point is valid, that most customers, if they think about it at all, will underestimate the cost of delivery such that if it is hidden in raised menu prices, they will be more likely to make the order.
Unrealistic expectations. If you paid the delivery person $15/hour and $0.655/mile for the vehicle, a pizza coming from 5 miles away can cost $14 to deliver, w/ no overhead, profit, and assuming the driver never has to wait anywhere. But that looks too expensive, so they upcharge the food instead.
Let me guess, republicans fighting against immigration reforms, maintaining difficulty and friction in that system
IQ has to be one of the most destructive ideas ever created.
So embedded systems running C code to read sensors, implement control law, drive actuators, in a variety of electromechanical systems.
*subsystems*
That was at a previous employer and I'm not doing that now, but my intro to Julia was using the DiffEq tools to develop control algorithms or analyze behavior of long-existing ones, around substitute in medical devices doing things like control of ultrasound actuators, or pressure or vacuum.
I'm not working on that kind of problem now but it sounds like you could model a system on PC, develop a control law in the simulation, then move the control portion in Julia to a Raspberry Pi and test with hardware. Skip the part where you port the control law to micropython or C. Very cool!
I was wanting to do it all in one place for less translation and porting.
Oh that's not bad at all! I remember either Plots or one of the stripped down DiffEq packages basically taking forever. It churned for an hour or so and I killed it. At the time I was exploring options for prototyping platforms. I was doing simulations on PC but testing on pyboards.
How many of these stories have to happen before folks realize they are being sold a pile of crap?
Does installing and running Makie (I saw use of it in the WiringPI repo) give you time to refill your water, make tea, make scrambled eggs, cook rice, smoke a turkey ...?
Looks like fun! How's the development and execution experience? It's been several years (okay maybe 4 or 5!) since I tried Julia on a Raspberry pi and doing things like Plots was just miserable, but that was a slower pi and older Julia versions.
Bob Onder is a hateful piece of shit.
Why did it have to be him?
Baseball has got to be the most backward of the professional sports leagues. And trying to hang on to that title.
It is a much harder time for kids now but that's because of Trump and his ilk making the world suck.
AI couldn't have said it better!
I believe the Professor character was created for the 1938 radio version and may not have been in the novel.
Exception that proves the rule
At the start of War of the Worlds there is a scientist who is flat out wrong.
I am curious if the episode's creators knew that a Soviet venus prove launch had failed.
It was!Search for Death Probe six million dollar man
Where's the six-million dollar man to fight it after it lands?
Bezos is a coward. Ban billionaires.
Obama enraged them, Trump gave them license to stop hiding.
I used to think that we had improved over my lifetime with respect to racism, sexism, and homophobia. Now I think that a large chunk of the apparent improvement was bigots learning to code switch for the first time. They'd be bigots among other bigots but would hide in the presence of decent people.
So gross. So uncaring, so sociopathic. I know who is harming this country and it's not immigrants.
Go look at Ackman's emails that were released during the Valeant funny business. He was all about appearances and not about business fundamentals. No special smarts there, just the confidence game. Same now.
You should measure the width on top of the folded rear seats. My 48" level fit there just fine.
If this content available other than on LinkedIn?
I am an ex-Catholic for a variety of reasons, but the brothers and nuns and lay teachers did teach compassion and empathy, that Jesus loved the poor and downtrodden as much or more than the wealthy, and would reference the table-flipping story. I'm glad that those values aren't dead.
Exactly. It's a class project so not so big it doesn't fit in your head. Once you've written it once writing it again isn't hard. Stupid people don't know how to judge who is smart.
Donald Trump's leadership style can deliver short-term wins for him and his cronies. Yet, the methods will be costly for everyone else.
When I said "no juliaup" it's because I had hit this ~ $ curl -fsSL install.julialang.org | sh info: downloading installer curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 juliaup: installer for platform 'aarch64-linux-android' not found, this may be unsupported
I don't have an LWN subscription so haven't read your linked article, but I do enjoy how juliaup works. I'm an electrical engineer and I primarily use Julia by way of Pluto notebooks for analysis or simulation.
Biggest barrier is laziness / time constraints / or that I don't enjoy the puzzles of trying to build something on an unsupported platform.
But no juliaup 😢

Nice! What path did you take to install it?
"China said it would implement a 15% tariff on coal and liquefied natural gas products as well as a 10% tariff on crude oil, agricultural machinery and large-engine cars imported from the U.S. The tariffs would take effect next Monday." On the bright side, that's kinda good for the environment.

I think it was an unholy compromise that truly left everyone unsatisfied.
The battery replacements are a gamble, if the screen breaks you are out. The $50 was to be delivered thru some dodgy company, and the $100 credit requires waiting weeks for approval while your phone is broken. I bought Samsung A25s as replacements.
But instead they wrote and released an update that reduced battery life to roughly 30% of what it was, making the phones impractical and forcing many owners to upgrade. They promised either battery replacement, $50 cash or $100 in credit but all of those options stink.
To be honest I do not know. There may or may not be some lurking danger. Google said they were updating the Pixel 4a to improve battery stability. Keep in mind, this phone is well out of updates, they could have left them alone.
Did you ask some AI how to make the most frustrating customer experience? Why lie about why you are doing this? The truth will get out sooner or later. If you actually know the batteries are dangerous you have a responsibility to share that info. If not, this is the dumbest way to drive sales ever.
After a number of those attempts it changed behavior and continued to charge and seems to be coming up. Without access to the meter I wouldn't have been able to tell if it had actually kept charging.
Latest Pixel 4a nonsense - if you let the phone get down to 0%, it might decide to not charge and sit for hours on the charger only responding with "0%" on the screen. Plugging and unplugging on a charger with ammeter shows it starting at 1A but then dropping to very low current.
Hey Google! I'm hoping someone starts a class-action lawsuit on the Pixel 4a battery bullshit. Not that I'd get monetary satisfaction but am hoping to see the results of discovery to see which bone-headed overpaid folks thought that whatever this is was a good idea.
Why did LinkedIn suggest I follow Vivek Ramaswamy?
So in the update that is supposed to improve stability or some such bullshit, they artificially reduced the battery capacity.
I have one of these, and yes it's out of support and I should probably update but it was working fine until Google forced this update. It now charges from 15% to 100% on less than 1000 mAh delivered from the charger, which is nonsense as the battery is specified as over 3000 mAh.
Google, what the hell are you thinking over there? www.lambdalatitudinarians.org/techblog/202...

Remember when Doc Brown asked if Jerry Lewis was the Vice President and if Jack Benny was the Secretary of the Treasury? Seems so quaint now.
So we'll train one ML model on the hallucinations of another? Sounds great!
He also cancelled metrication. He's why we still have to deal with ounces, pounds, teaspoons, tablespoons, cups, quarts, binary fractions of an inch, and a temperature scale that no one else uses. Extra tools and conversion errors for decades. Clearly not his worst sin but still fucking annoying.
Shitty headline. The convicted felon part deserves to be in the headline. Do better.
This should not be described as anything other than cruelty and vindictiveness, employing age-old slanders that they (be they black, Jewish, queer, immigrant or any other group targeted as a scapegoat) are a danger to women or children. It is fully intentional bigotry. It is shameful.
It Is Journalism’s Sacred Duty To Endanger The Lives Of As Many Trans People As Possible
Terrible headline. Do better or don't bother.
Shame on Nancy Mace.
I put new strings on my acoustic guitars and am enjoying the fresh sound. I suspect I left them on a bit too long.
I use Pluto (a reactive notebook) and Makie (for plotting). You might take a modest example and try to duplicate it and see how it goes.
I'm a big fan of Julia but the ecosystem is much smaller than for Python. It has significant advantages if the code you write must execute a lot (e.g. in ODE solver situations) due to it's compilation model.
I really really wish you were wrong
I am sick of hearing it was the economy. Imagine if the Republican giving hate-filled crazy bullshit rallies was a Bizarro-universe version of Oprah and the Democrat was Walz. No way the Republican would win because "eggs are too expensive". Blame and shame should be on the sexist and racist voters.
