As other have have already said, this is highly context dependant but I want to bring some examples.

- It sometimes generate decent examples of linux kernel api usage for modules, which saves a lot of time digging in the limited documentation. But most of the time it will mix deprecated a new version of the api and it will very likely have very suboptimal and/buggy choices.

- for embedded C, it won't be able to work within the constraints of a very specific project (e.g. using obscure or custom hal), but for generic C or rtos applications it can generate between decent and half decent suggestions.

- almost never seen it generate decent verilog


Uhm I don't know, I used to have a dumb phone in middle school. And since then I have always read the time in 24h format in my life. But I never struggle to read a conventional clocks, nor I get confused about the am/pm 12h format. The concept around the clock is just too simple to just forget.

This sounds like a case of sloppiness of their educators.


This violates energy conservation principles. Some power will be "wasted" into heat, some other will be used for some other work.

If I use energy to move a block one foot over, I have performed useful work. But 100% of the energy used to perform that work is either already heat or shortly will be.

If you launch a rocket at escape velocity the momentum and potential energy you create never dissipates.

Certain chemical reaction endotermic reaction require energy to start. This energy is absorbed to generate molecular bond.

Also in the generation and absorption of high energy radiation there are non-thermal processes that can transfer energy.

Even something like bending a metal bar is not 100% a thermal process.


It's a bit weird, they add pricing for this, but reducwle GitHub-hosted runners by "up to 39%".

Not sure about the "up to" implications, but I guess it's just Microsoft trying to make github a bit more freemium tm


The full quote:

> And we’re reducing the net cost of GitHub-hosted runners by up to 39%, depending on which machine type is used.

> The price reduction you will see in your account depends on the types of machines that you use most frequently – smaller runners will have a smaller relative price reduction, larger runners will see a larger relative reduction.


I don't get how this works in practice. I am not wealthy, I don't even own an house. But I have a decent salary and buy some stocks occasionally.

Most of my stocks are kinda volatile, so by paying taxes on unrealized gain I am taking much higher risk for owning them every year I don't sell. I would literally be paying taxes on money I don't own yet and could easily lose at the first mayor market upset.


Not sure i get the implication, something wrong with the company?


I’m not the parent, but I’d assume that this was an impressed ‘yikes.’ While Jane is not the most well known firm for ultra low latency trading, an FPGA engineer from that firm could be considered an expert practitioner in the field.


Some people just love dropping “yikes” type comments and then never explaining themselves.


A few of those same cringe “yikes” users appear to have downvoted my comment too. Truly a strange bunch.


It is an overfitted model thst use WiFi data as hints for generation:

"We consider a WiFi sensing system designed to monitor indoor environments by capturing human activity through wireless signals. The system consists of a WiFi access point, a WiFi terminal, and an RGB camera that is available only during the training phase. This setup enables the collection of paired channel state information (CSI) and image data, which are used to train an image generation model"


I think you might be misunderstanding. Tox is p2p end-to-end encrypted, you still expose your ip when you connect to the p2p network. This is inevitable but nobody will know you message:

https://tox.chat/faq.html#tox-leak-ip

This project uses the retroshare protocol. It's also p2p by the only nodes you can connect to are from a "white list". So you expose your ip only to people you know.


Isn't skin cancer 100% survivable if caught on time*, with the removal procedure begin a single 1-2 hour specialist visit?

Where "on time" means during the trivial yearly screening that everyone should be getting.


If you get melanoma, it can progress within weeks or months to stage >1. An annual checkup is not enough. And then you get 50% chance if you qualify for gene therapy or die.


What is the recommended screening frequency ?


That highly depends on the individual and their risk profile. But the best approach in general is to be aware of the signs that are up on these posters you see in every good dermatologist's office. Then you can spot abnormalities immediately and get them checked out professionally. Half of all melanomas are not found by screenings and are self-detected instead.

Perhaps by "An annual checkup is not enough", they do not mean you need screenings multiple times a year. Rather, one needs to regularly examine their own skin in addition to yearly checks by a professional.

An aside for my fellow wookies: moles can form under hair!


Between 2015 and 2021, Americans diagnosed with invasive[0] melanoma had a 94.7% net 5-year survival rate[1]. That means, if all other causes of death were impossible, an estimated 5.3% of those patients would have died of melanoma.

That's a pretty good net survival rate [3], but it's not perfect. And it's possible that less care in avoiding excessive sun exposure could lead to any cancers being more aggressive. However, I don't have a reference for that musing, so feel free to ignore it.

[0]: Invasive means the tumor has left the tissue it started in.

[1]: https://seer.cancer.gov/statfacts/html/melan.html

[2]: It would be higher if the official method for calculating net survival didn't, in my opinion, needlessly bias itself against cancer patient survival. The last time I reviewed the methodology notes, they compared daily hazards of death between cancer patients and everyone else. But, if the cancer patients had a lower hazard for a day, the difference was treated as zero instead of negative. This is a hill I'll die on, because their method pretends any confounding variables not in the model have no effect. Patients who catch melanoma early are probably less likely to die soon compared to those of similar age, race, sex, and location. An early diagnosis likely means they care enough about their health to visit doctors regularly and make good use of those visits.


I don't want to post the typical "work on my machine" comment, but I regularly see screen sharing failing on almost any platform.

In many in-person conferences in my field they started to request a copy of the pdf file before the talk, that will be projected and shared using a dedicated computer.
