Got burned by knockoff sodimm on a recent n150 NAS build. In general though, consumer electronics prices are low, especially compared to housing, health care, insurance premiums, vehicles, and education.
Good write-up, accurate take. Chinese engineers gotta eat too though, so yeah, do yer research and caveat emptor!
It would be too inaccurate to fingerprint a specific vehicle based on the waveform generated as it drives over a coil sensor like this. For example, if your car drives over it one day and then drives over the same coil but 20cm to the left, the waveforms would be different enough already that they couldn't be statistically correlated.
A large truck driving over an edge could look like a small car driving directly through the middle.
These kinds of sensors are really only useful for saying a big chunk of ferromagnetic something passed by.
You're describing most discovered medicines.
But you probably meant "...with no idea why it works..." Since they already saw the outcomes often enough that they want to productize it.
I don't know if this is the right solution, but a big reason I stopped bringing my family on city buses was because of belligerant personalities making things stressful/scary as fuck on 3 out of my 4 last rides (and less frequently but still really dangerous experiences before that) The frequency was just getting too high and I hit my limit.
Hopefully I just had really shit luck, but if it can happen to me, it can happen to others, and I really want public transit to work.
But all it takes is a system that can't prevent a few rotten apples from spoiling it for everyone else.
Semaglutides and other weight loss drugs will hopefully make this treatment less needed in the future. I hope this somehow gets funding, testing, and approval before then to help all the folks with existing damage.
Sounds like you have a pretty sweet deal if you can get by with part time work (with health insurance somehow, I assume) and have nearby grandparents who babysit regularly (and for free). I can't think of anyone I know with that setup, but I mostly know full time professionals who moved away from parents for school/job. Different circles, I guess.
Neither is actually viewed as healthy. Social parasites are sometimes harder to spot.
For your case it's the transition that's tricky: Friends assume you want to keep being friends and may worry if that changes. After a while they'll give up, assuming you've moved on. If you're sure that's your path then just stay the course, but know that it's harder to come back from if you do get lonely. It's harder to make and keep friends later in life. It's harder to find a spouse if you're alone all the time. Interestingly, a spouse + kids may solve your social obligation/boredom problem.
For my case, wife and kids made keeping friends AND a job impossible. Married men are expected to be present at all times for family now except for when at work. Anything regular outside of work is considered neglectful of either your children or your marriage. No hobbies except those that can be done at home after kids go to bed. No social commitments not involving spouse and/or kids. Fatherhood standards are pretty high these days. I don't have any "friends" anymore, but because I have a family no one asks about it anymore either.
Infrastructure is communist. We each need to just have SUVs large enough to roll over the rivers and forests so we can stop building all those commie roads.
Buying a Framework laptop always felt ideological, not value-based. Like a statement that you want to support Linux-first hardware.
Hard to compete without economy of scale, of course, but that wasn't their main goal.
Unfortunately, by the tightening up the language, the question resembles more and more "Are there animals with human brains?" To which of course we have to say no, so somewhere along the scale before the question turning into that there must be some version that is an interesting question with an interesting answer.
So what kind of answer are you looking for? An intelligence that resembles human problem solving sufficiently that we could somehow use it ourselves? A fungus can solve a maze through branching in a way that we can't so its solution isn't useful for a human actually in a maze. But maybe a linear algebraist could apply the technique to families of problems and a solver could be implemented in specialized hardware more efficiently than a Turing machine GPP.
But I don't think we left any non-human intelligent species around to compete with us, if you're looking for a conversation. Neanderthal was the last.
"intelligence is a nuanced topic"
Understatement champion.
Applying your examples "in any form" still doesn't really work since those examples are built on communicating the steps as well as the result. If an animal can intuit precision without showing the work, do we still give credit for intelligence? Jumping spiders, for example, have an extremely developed intuition for parabolic trajectories, but I'd bet real money there's no neural structure in their brains that looks like y^2 = 4ax.
If you are wanting to learn more Linux internals AND create something maintainable, you can create your own distro using Yocto/Bitbake. LFS teaches you all about Linux internals, but kind of leaves you to twist in the wind afterward. I would argue that Yocto exposes those internals AND gives you the ability to maintain the distro you've created (roll your own packages, pull in kernel patches/versions/modules, scan for applicable CVEs, etc.)
Or Gentoo sounds cool. Maybe an easier intermediate step before rolling your own.
They're pretty huge though. Fine if shelf space isn't a premium, but 12 drives will be rough on your PSU.

"Animal husbandry" sure does sound less scary. The power of naming, I guess.

They can make safety, fuel efficiency, usability, and comfort improvements AND enshittify things too! These are complicated machines.

Calcium in the morning and Magnesium after dinner for me.
I'll assume this isn't a joke. We did evolve from mammals that used smell to hunt, so yeah, directional smelling sure makes sense to me.
Sorry, no fake internet points for "I almost did it" 😉 Good on ya for buying refurbished though, it's a real gamble sometimes, unfortunately.

And the fact that 40% of all taxes represents less than 20% of their income should tell you how much money they're really holding onto.

Shhhh... shortened lifespan is actually a benefit to the rest of us. You want guys like this voting in their 70s and 80s?
