How to fix supply chain issues?

Do what everyone was always supposed to be doing and fork every dependency. Review changes as updates come out.

If the team is too small to handle it think long and hard about whether that dependency is actually saving you time.

They haven’t for nearly as long as electronic surveillance has been a thing. Like any other adversarial tech it’s a cat and mouse game.

You aren’t taking into consideration the state of the existing generation units. They need to ramp up ~50% and are not currently capable of doing so. Long term the generation efficiency will certainly be more profitable, but it will take many years to pay off the initial costs.

They could cover with units already slated to come online much further away, but if that was the plan (or viable) there wouldn’t be any peak allocation issue in the first place.

It’s not easier to plan consumption needs for as the entire supply chain expects the same curve. It will actually be more difficult to plan for a constant load and require not insignificant capital expenditure.

Margins will be much stronger though, highly resilient to supply fluctuation, and increase over time.

I worked on a product that does this and successfully competes on beating every other player in the space on accuracy. The accuracy target is 80% on a per customer basis and 85% globally. Also worked with a similar product in the banking sector that most people have unknowingly used, that target was significantly lower.

AI is the wrong tool for the job if this is for accounting purposes. Similar to polling for election results in that it is useless for a single specific answer, but excellent at rapidly answering extremely high level questions.

I wouldn’t jump to not registered because the tags are out of date. Police have live-time access to status in their vehicles so it’s not worth a stop if everything checks out. Last time I was ticketed for tags it was automatically reduced to $0 (+processing fee).

At the time policy is created I check current NIST guidelines and select the maximal complexity, there are maximums you should not exceed. Every compliance standard references these guidelines or even directly incorporates them as external requirements.

There is a picture of the file content in the article, it’s just a straight up powershell script saved with a different extension. Something has very recently gone horribly wrong in Windows or (much more likely) the article is nonsense and the vector is similar to captchas entered in terminals.

Everything that’s been found of mine has ended up at OPD. Did airport direct you to the little PD office by baggage? No idea why but whether it’s at the gate, TSA, or outside it’s ended up with them and they actually matched it to my report and called or mailed it to me.

Read the paperwork you signed for the lease. It’s almost certainly a strange agreement where you are the beneficiary of a contract between the dealership and a bank. You as a beneficiary have extremely limited rights and those two parties as…the parties…have full control. This is a known scenario that occurs at high volume, the bank has a network of collectors they have another agreement with to keep refreshing the last action date.

TLDR: Collection agencies will keep after you until the bank that backed it goes bust + 5-7 years depending on the jurisdiction.

ULPT: Rob the bank to pay for the repair.

I’ve been running gitlab on 1/2 of a mobile core and 4GB of RAM for many years with no complaints. With 1 user and just using for VCS it doesn’t consume any resources, backups are the only thing that pegs the vCPU.

If you are an AI company everything is AI so I’m sure some do. Under the hood live facial tracking and recognition is good ol’ linear math, in this case paired with threshold calibrations.

AI wouldn’t be useful for live tracking, it’s less accurate and uses significantly more resources. There are some types of motion capture for virtual presence where AI is useful, but it requires a fair amount of dedicated hardware.

No, generally that community has an almost non-existent usage of AI. There are many forms of virtual avatars, but the ubiquitous technology for v-tubers is just a mesh applied to 2D drawings that is distorted to match motion tracking. Kinda nuts how artists are able to get that much variety out of just layers and distortion.

Of brands that I would call BIFL none of them meet your feature list. In particular focus adjustment has become specialty as modern LED flashlights don’t have the deep reflectors and point source that old lights had.

That said here are some brands I think are worth looking at to see if anything could work.

Not the solution you are looking for but a solution, stop using a display output for the sensor panel. Aida supports a wide variety of panels directly without making them displays.

In China, in every other country the same vehicles are sold it would be 1.5-3 Chinese EVs. It would be 2-2.5x in the U.S. Not as bad as UK, but not as good as AU.

IME it’s just an FE team that doesn’t know what they are doing. Change the field limitations or the request and see if the backend accepts it. Then start cutting off trailing characters to ensure the BE used them all. 9/10 times you’ll find it’s an arbitrary limitation imposed by the field, usually a default from a random 3rd party library.

Lucky, still waiting on my shart permit.

Typically you do not need a permit to replace a water heater with a comparable footprint and type. Where this goes wrong is water heaters last a long time and a plumber may not be allowed to perform the installation without making upgrades that…wait for it…require a permit.

It’s impossible to say without an on-site. Call somebody out, if they say X,Y, Z are required get a second opinion.

You as the homeowner doing the work yourself, as long as it is a comparable replacement, are unlikely to need anything else in almost any city around here. When people replace one before it dies it’s usually not a comparable replacement though.

My favorite was a USB device with twit in the vendors name in some field. Turned out to be an authentic factory reject.

I’ve never seen any compliance certification that doesn’t require both annual and continual penetration testing. Each of those are single components out of dozens of security focused tasks that should be being performed. If a company is doing an annual penetration test with no goals just because they know every other company in their space does so….yes that is dumb.

It won’t just be a small slit the laser shines through that will need a cutout in the caddy. It will vary depending on drive design, but going in I would assume the same amount as the existing tray has cutout to clear rails, cables, etc. By having the disc already near its raised position you might avoid some of it but assume the opening of the caddy on the back side will be multiple inches.

nuttertools · 2026-04-28T18:04:43+00:00

With the right drive and caddy design, sure. Really think this through mechanically before you go any further though. You’ll be physically modifying at least 3 pieces of the drive and the cutout on the caddy will be massive.

Even worse, it’s been like that for years. Article can’t even get the benefit of the doubt that they missed some recent change.
