Well, more to the point - bugs / LOC is remarkably constant in real code across coding languages, so one of the best things you can do is reduce LOC.
/48 for work (actually I have six of the bloody things!) and /56 for home which is reasonable. /64 is ridiculous unless they will give you more on request but then why not /56 so you can plan. We really are not going to run out of those and even /48 for all is pretty reasonable. At work I have an additional /64 just for WAN but I understand /112 and the like are popular for that as well.

I suggest you have a play with the /64 just for fun and to get the hang of things but the future has a shed load of IoT in it and all networks will need breaking up into subnets for security, including residential networks. Even if only to separate guest wifi.

In the UK we have the relative luxury of being able to choose from a fairly long list of ISPs. Some of them nearly get IPv6. Funnily enough dear old BT (business) is one of the few that gets it all correct out of the box, when you order a leased line.

You have my sympathies.
Klingon, Elvish, and Pig Latin are also better choices than Esperanto for most people.
Usually I find barbers don’t even try talking to me because they tend to be older and their clients tend to be older so they don’t know what to say. And I look a lot younger than I am. Not that I want to talk to them anyway, due to awkwardness, but seeing all the other barbers talking to their clients and mine not even trying to talk to me somehow makes it even worse
Ordered a gift for delivery on Friday for a party Saturday. Driver shows up, didn't look at the instructions to access my building, texted me, immediately marked the package as undeliverable, left, and now it's sitting a weird limbo. UPS and USPS (and weirdly, Amazon Fresh..) never have issues.

Most of the time, in my part of the world, it's an old machine that won't accept chip and pin. In which case the merchant (and/or Visa) should be 100% liable for fraud.
I don't think "tragedy of the commons" is the appropriate term for what's going on here. These movies aren't a "commons", they're all privately owned by a bunch of different private entities. They used to license them to Netflix to be streamed, but now they've pulled back from that a lot so they can operate their own streaming services.

"Tragedy of the commons" is when a bunch of private interests use a publicly-owned resource in a greedy way and end up ruining it for everyone. I don't think this quite applies here, but I don't know of any other term to call it because I can't think of any non-internet analogies.
What if making it free makes it less useful to most people? There's another comment talking about how they became rolling homeless shelters when they went to free, and use dropped because of hygiene issues.
I understand this is a prototype, but for your own safety, please use a dummy head to test.

This arm should go nowhere near your head unless you're absolutely sure it has all the necessary safeguards tested to not cause significant harm.

Edit: Looks like your twitter has vids showing tests with a dummy. However, its still scary.
I know next to nothing about this. What material is being broken down to create helium?
Normalizing cyber crime like this seems incredibly bad.

Just think when stealing patient and financial information becomes more profitable than what regular ransom ware demands net.

Even more, perhaps targeted assassination based on screwing up data? Demanding silence and cooperation for whatever the cyber-criminal do?
That comment ended very differently than I expected it to.

What rubs me the wrong way is that they'd doubt the call. It'd take seconds to process "how can the attacker benefit from this" and come up empty.

After all it's not like he was calling them and offering to fix the issue, he was literally giving them a heads up, the worst that could happen is a wasted call to the bank.
I like a succinct way to define immutable variables. That’s what I do by default in Swift

let str = “foo”
let age = 10

Kotlin does this with val, which is great.

How do Scala and Kotlin compare?

Next time I’m back on the JVM, I’d like to one of these two, perhaps both if they interoperate.
Can you elaborate at all?

Do you prefer litigating?

Do you think it's better for consumers?

Do you think it's better for the business?
One thing at a time, first uncover more promising avenues to antibiotics. Maybe they get private investment, maybe not, if not then go ahead and publicly fund the next stage.

None of this kind of thing stops say defense spending. We say hey our defense experts say we need x vehicle to defend our nation. Let's build x.

Our medical experts say we will need antibiotics in the future. It's a nice optimization perhaps to use crossover private profitability to fund the path to more drugs, but if the path isn't there privately, no one says, well we needed a new Aircraft carrier to defend the nation but none is available on the private market, oh well, guess we just live without.

No. The removal of barriers favors only those that take advantage of the lawless system. For all the others it is just a relatively free ( as in freedom of speech) period between two totalitarian systems. Then everything starts again. The new masters are the old " nomenclature". Pigs will always be pigs and dogs will always be dogs.

What's the threat model for a tractor/harvester/etc...? Who wants to send a piece of farm equipment on a very slow rampage via a complex and difficult hack job? One that will be stopped if the manufacturer has any sense at all and has physical kill switch.

Maybe sabotage from competing farmers? But that seems far less likely than the owner wanting to maintain his equipment after the manufacturer has abandoned it.
I had 3 Amazon delivery ones get screwed up within a week (one of mine go missing and two delivered here that weren't mine), so Amazon's in-house service certainly can't be called 'better'
Low wage earners pay very little in taxes. I honestly thought that was common knowledge. Reducing their tax burned would have a negligible impact on their net income. It solves absolutely nothing.

Honestly, it was not honest question. It was extremely carefully worded question, prepared in advance that hinted that you smell without telling it. She was not curious whether you use soap, she was in the process of informing you that you should. And she took a lot of care to be as gentle with it as possible.
The problem is, between copyrights, patents and limited liability, we give companies a huge amount of power over consumers. That's before we start writing about the power money provides large companies.
Ask HN: Technology Ethics Community
I recently graduated from university. One of the groups I was involved with had a weekly, in-person meetup where we talked about the tech news of that week and its surrounding ethical and moral implications.

Does anyone do anything similar to this? HN is great for staying up-to-date, but I miss the community aspect of the in-person meetups.
They have letters. SE16 4EP is a code from near my home there. It's probably not worth making it work.
they're not buying the trucks and recruiting the contractors, it is more gig-economy bullshit. You are a 1099 worker who rents your own truck and whatever is left over is what you get.
Yea but it’s not charity in that case. It’s paid promotion
Amazon, that also runs its own competing package service (https://www.theverge.com/2019/12/13/21020938/amazon-logistic... ), pressuring others to not use the services of a competitor.

This seems unreasonably harsh, especially accusing the Author of spending time creating to do lists instead of doing work. If you read the rest of Andrew's blog and look at his github profile, you'll hopefully get a different impression of him.

To say anyone who gets 100s of emails a day is doing something wrong is likewise misguided. This is very normal for anyone in an executive role.
In you first post you say prosecute, in the follow-up you say rehabilitate. Providing people with stable basic needs and like housing and education is a prerequisite for rehabilitation. It's not "enabling" in the negative sense of enabling bad behavior, rather it's enabling people to make something of themselves. Or at the very least, keep them of the streets and out of criminality.

Prosecution only leads to more problems, as people cannot adequately gain the skills they need in US prison and are then shunned by US employers.
If I remember correctly, multi-user computing as a public utility was one of the goals of the Multics[1] project in the 1960s. After Bell Labs dropped out of Multics, some of the people working on Multics decided to take what they had learned and make a new operating system called Unix[2]. You might have heard of it. :)

Public-access Unix machines still exist. There's SDF[3], and the various servers comprising the tildeverse[4]. But they're just a dim echo of what could have been.

Purolator is an American company that manufactures oil and air filters. The name was taken from their oil filter process - "pure oil later".

In 1967, Purolator bought the Canadian courier company Trans Canada Couriers, which later took the Purolator name. The courier company was then later sold to Canada Post, but kept the Purolator name since it was commonly known in Canada.
Lower... what taxes, exactly? Income? Property?
Agree. And the first time I went to a new barber I brought a photo of me with a haircut I thought was OK.

The writeup states that their observation is that compute perf is the biggest factor in the TCP-C benchmark. Nitro AFAIU is mainly about networking.

I think all the clouds use the same basic physical CPU sets, so I'm more surprised about the perf being much different in previous years, than I am about the perf being similar this year. Maybe the hypervisor layer was much more efficient at AWS or something?
4. Politicians taking campaign contributions from 1. and 2.
I think, absolutely yes. Americans generally are opposed to regulation of corporations, especially conservative ones, and most especially ones that have a libertarian streak.
On one hand, he’s getting problems from his “(mainland) Chinese talent agency”, and if you’re going to have a mainland Chinese talent agency then what do you expect?

On the other hand I also note that Bloomberg is also being very cagey about describing the President as the President.
There's no for-profit motive to justify recycling of much, that's true. However, recycling can still work well if there's money built in to the price of items for recycling what they're made of.

In other words, a surcharge built into the cost of e.g. a flatscreen monitor for recycling is held in escrow during the device's lifetime. When it's end of life, the company that recycles it can claim that charge as part of its fee for ensuring the materials are not improperly disposed of.

This sort of system would also have the benefit of encouraging purchase of more recyclable items by making the less recyclable ones more expensive.

Of course, there are a thousand ways this system could be subverted... and the real problem in the US is a corrupt government that won't create laws to stop export of e-waste.
There's published research on chatbots with an approach like this; essentially instead of trying to learn a function from input sentence to output sentence, you do a function from "text about state of world<separator>input sentence or question" to the answer.

I recently rode in a car which, when started, lit up the dashboard display with the message “Correct tire pressure.” That took a moment to decipher, too. (Is the pressure correct, or am I supposed to correct it? And if you have sensors in all the tires to tell me that one’s flat—why not mention that info in the error message?) Evidently clearly stating “your tire is flat” is a big challenge for car designers...
live in brooklyn, $15 + tip is standard barber rate and you can find cheaper.
But the point is to offer rides for free and use other money (presumably tax money) to maintain (and hopefully invest in more) infrastructure. I don't see how the current quality of the KC infrastructure is relevant: if it's bad, then they clearly the $9m in fare revenue isn't cutting it, and they already need tax revenue to make it better. If they can't or don't get the tax revenue they need, then that's definitely a problem!
In a previous job, I worked on an FPGA/ADC combo that'd give you a nice eye diagram for any CAN address on the bus. It was a ~$50 BoM even at super low volume boutique pricing.

Intel Acquires AI Chipmaker Habana Labs for $2B
The same happens here, but DHL is the major player being replaced and it makes total sense for both Amazon and its customers. To be honest, since my first delivery made directly by Amazon, until now, I never missed a single package. It was delivered on time, most times on the day after the order. DHL on the other side has horrible drivers that would just drop off the package at the next post station, instead of knocking on your damn door, while you are at home. This is absolutely frustrating and I really hate DHL for that.
From what I heard (no hard facts, sorry) the payment of the drivers is not really worse than those of the DHL drivers. Yet they do a lot better job.

Personally, I don't understand the matter of having to pay nothing for the shipping of online orders. Why don't they charge at least 3€, which is then used to pay the drivers more? A regular DHL package costs about 6€, not including the package material itself. I would appreciate paying more for the delivery if I knew that the drivers receive a better salary with that.
Should be fixed now. See https://github.com/ggerganov/imtui/issues/3 for more info

The sad thing is, TriMet (Portland public transit) used to be free downtown as well...
The general populace has no reason to care. We aren’t liable for fraudulent purchases; it’s just an inconvenience more than anything.
The only outright lie I've had lately has been USPS where the package didn't show up until the day after they said it had been.

OnTrac used to be horrible, but I haven't gotten stuck with them in quite a white.
Alexander is maybe reading the wrong therapy books and literature. He should look up Bruce Wampold's research, for example. The dodo bird effect is well documented: therapy works relative to all sorts of placebos, but therapist effects dwarf therapy effects, not everything works for everyone, therapist-client cohesiveness is paramount, and there are really no replicable superiorities of any given therapy with regard to general functioning and well-being, even if specific therapies might be more effective for specific behavioral problems.

To be fair to Alexander, therapy research and literature has the kind of weird duality he points out, and it permeates academics as well, where the problems he mentions are maybe even worse. Everyone does know about the dodo bird effect, but then people either embrace it or they ignore it.

A big problem is the exact same thing that's permeating all of medical science, which is a huge pressure to obtain grants and notoriety for discovering a cure. There's much more rewards for overhyping than being sober in science. You could replace therapy with drugs in his essay and it would read the same. In fact, I sincerely was confused for a bit by his figure because the exact same sorts of figures have been published about psychiatric medications, and it took me a while to be sure what he was talking about.

One thing that's maybe not immediately clear to the general public is that with psychiatry and psychology there's an additional pressure to "be scientific" which then often backfires in the way he's witnessing. Both psychiatrists and psychologists are the targets of witch doctor labels, which then leads to this behavior where researchers and theorists jockey to outdo themselves in being "real scientists". The good part of this is that then you get a ton of randomized controlled studies and so forth, but the downside of this is you end up with this additional reason to promote your drug or therapy as being somehow better than treatment as usual, or to denigrate other interventions as being "unscientific". That is, certain things (e.g., CBT in therapyland, or arguably things like prozac in medicationland) become banners that you're expected to carry if you want to be part of the "real science" club. Criticizing the efficacy of these interventions implicitly doesn't just mean criticizing those particular interventions, or criticizing the specificity of their mechanisms, it means you get labeled as not being on board with the "real science" club. It is just one more reason for hype, in addition to the typical hype that is flooding biomedical research at the moment.

Alexander mentions that he feels like he's never seen "sudden, extraordinary, long-lasting" effects of therapy. I'd suggest it's one of those situations where you get to pick 2 of 3, nothing more.

Would you trust Joe Random to replace anything in the hardware authentication pipeline?
Indeed. "No price signal[1]" is very different from "no cost". It will cost plenty. Any service priced at zero simply has no back-pressure mechanism to respond to demand, nor to forecast demand, nor to measure demand in relation to alternative transportation options.

My understanding of Zamenhof’s views is based on reading his complete works in the edition prepared by that Japanese Esperantist, which I could do as I was closely involved with an Esperanto library. As this was some years ago and I am no longer involved in Esperanto, I am sorry that I cannot cite a specific passage, but I am quite sure that my claim is correct, and I would urge you to go to those sources.
I try my hardest to only go to stations that accept Apple Pay. If they don't I use a card that I know will overnight me a new card if I get a fraud alert (in my case, Chase).
It sounds very unlikely that the reason for stagnant and too low wages is inadequate prosecution of the most vulnerable people in society.
My UK debit cards are great for this. AMEX is a bit 'meh' - sometimes I'll get an instant notification, sometimes it'll happen a bit after, sometimes it just doesn't seem to happen. Annoying because I use that card the most.
It seems more and more likely.

Your comment is incoherent in the face of investors having limited liability. The intent of it is to encourage investment that benefits the public.

If investors want to screw the public, we should take their limited liability toys away.
We need to make it illegal to pay ransoms.

Paying a ransom is like defecting in a prisoner's dilemma: it benefits you at the expense of hurting everyone else who will be stuck in the same situation. Making it illegal just forces everyone to cooperate and is something everyone would prefer.

Should be possible to prosecute under existing laws: you're providing support to a criminal enterprise, sounds illegal already.
That's bullshit. The police will often contact organisations in these situations.
Chase's app will let you do it; you have to dig deep into the notifications menu and find the item for sending a notification for purchases over a certain threshold. Add it, and set the threshold to $0, and you get a notification for every purchase.

For American Express, at least on Android, I get notifications through the Google Pay app for all purchases made (even if those purchases weren't made using Google Pay).

Unfortunately it seems like support for this does greatly depend on the issuing bank.
That's nothing - last week I had a package take 4 business days to travel a total of 10 miles, as part of a longer 14 day journey.

It was most likely just sitting at their sorting center, which I can see from my back window.

Floatplane was never about the viewer though. You should look at their video for the release of the beta[0], I still haven't watched it though, so I could be wrong on some stuff, but that video will certainly make everything more clear for you.

Essentially, Floatplane is a fail over for Youtube. It's not there to replace it, it's there to supplement it and be there in case it disappear. That means that it will never be your source to discover someone, but it will be your source to subscribe to someone that you discovered somewhere else. It's closer to Patreon in that regard (though I believe they still have a bit of discoverability, but it's certainly not your source for that).

That means that most of their function will be geared toward creator, and allow them to offer something more to their viewer (but that for sure will require an account and a paid subscription). One of their interesting current feature for example is to allow streaming to multiple platform (Floatplane, Twitch and Youtube) in parallel.
