Pi-Hole's dashboard allows you to disable the ad blocker for a short period of time.

Personally, I usually disable JavaScript when a site gives me an adblock wall. That usually allows me to bypass it.
The point is this brings us closer to demonstrating AI which is in some sense grounded in reality, as opposed to some kind of “Clever Hans” or Searle’s “Chinese Box.” The network has learned how to “imagine playing out a scenario” much like a human player might use his own mental model of the game to consider various strategies to attempt, perhaps with the real game.

That the network apparently has a mental model which is rich enough to simulate actual game play implies that it hasn’t just fit a static caricurature of the game which immediately breaks on an unseen move. That is, it has a non-trivial “conceptualization” of its environment which goes beyond simple pattern matching or nearest neighbor matching.

During transcription, Siri frequently thinks that "exclamation point" -- the common punctuation -- is me trying to add the phrase "excavation point," a phrase nobody ever says.
I'm not sure where your country is but at least in Europe, I think British English is more commonly taught because people are (thought to be) more likely to move to the UK/Ireland or interact with Britons/the Irish so BrE is marginally more applicable. I'm not sure that's actually true with the population differences at play.

Also, at least in a few countries what more often seems to affect the curriculum is where one's teacher is from or was trained. I don't know how widely true that is.
1. Aren't most summer workers students?
2. How do you get unemployment if you've been a full-time student since last August?
3. The last time I stayed on Cape Cod, the B&B owner said that local businesses employed a lot of foreign workers, mostly European university students it seemed. How are they affected by American UI?
> As I said in my last post, were he to build the level of advertising and subscription revenue I think he is capable of, his corporation would easily be valued at over $1,000,000,000...

That's a big _if_, and so far as I can see, there's not much in the way of justification for that in the article.
> Should I Block Ads?

Yes. Permanently.
There is a "Pronunciation" field in the contact where you can spell out how a name is pronounced.

You have moved the goalposts dramatically. What started as "random files in Google Drive are being scanned for conspiracy theories and deleted", which would be incredibly worrying, is now "Google should give me tens of thousands of dollars worth of free stuff", which is not all that worrying.
> Don't forget that most actual production renderers are multiple decades old.

I use V-Ray, and the memory bandwidth is one of the defining factors of my rendering speed. I saw a noticeable bump when I went from DDR4-1866 to DDR4-2666.

> L3 cache typically has bandwidth in the same order of magnitude as memory, while Intel is claiming to increase that by 3x in the article.

My 500 GB/s number was the estimated L2 bandwidth for a Ryzen CPU.

> Most renderers hop around him memory to trace rays through acceleration structures

There's an Intel library called Embree which is very cache friendly. It's used by v-Ray, the raytracer that I use.
https://www.embree.org/

> Yes, those exist, but they don't have anything to do with the article or cache sizes.

When I had to implement a C++ convolution algorithm, it was pretty slow at first. Then I used V-Tune and Amplify to re-order the loops, optimize memory access patterns, and identify places where AVX or SSE intrinsics would be helpful. After doing that, I could then measure with Amplify that my convolution loop is now limited in performance by cache misses, meaning exactly what a larger cache would improve. And if I remember correctly, I got only 10% pipeline utilization, which would suggest that it could be 10x faster with fast enough memory.

Is there a link to what this new rule, is exactly?

The article states it in one line but doesn't reference it beyond that.
I am the opposite. I develop on Linux via VMWare Player running on a Windows host. I don't want Linux as the main OS on my personal desktop and I can keep work related stuff on its own VM. I've never noticed any non-bare metal speed issues.

As for distro versioning... surely you only get the user-land package versions, and the kernel is still the version of your main OS?
USA is commonly known as America, and the fact that some variant of this comment always surfaces when it's referred to as such won't change that.
I use a Wacom tablet (the cheapest one works well). I can use sketchbook (came with the Wacom tablet) when I want to diagram spontaneously in meetings. But having people edit my sketches is a challenge since no one has the same setup.
The other important thing the article doesn't mention is that mouth-breathing causes the body to eliminate too much carbon dioxide -- you're literally "over-breathing". Blood CO2 is vital for proper oxygenation.

By dropping CO2 too low, you actually decrease brain and organ performance by binding oxygen too tightly with hemoglobin, starving your organs.

It's actually fairly rare for young people to have too little oxygen in their blood, but really common for them to have too little CO2, from over-breathing. By slowing down breathing, and most importantly, NOSE breathing, you normalize blood CO2 and restore cognitive / organ function.
I would replace Nhatrang with Danang. Danang is the next big coastal tech hub now.
I know many ppl are going to defend "America" here.

I'm sure it varies based on place of employment and personal preference. I understand many people have some level of social anxiety that may be exacerbated by the open floor plan. I just personally enjoy it and hope to not see its demise. Glad we get to pick our employer!

They have said inflation has been in check for a long while. Going to the grocery store and looking at prices shows otherwise. I’m not sure what they are measuring.
How about a company leveraging its monopoly on operating systems to illicitly gain an advantage in other markets, say ... webbrowsers?

Should we nuke them?
Show HN: Syncing decentralised database using IPFS and Libp2p
BaFe tapes don't seem to have issues with "data fading". And BD-R uses phase-change recording, which is very, very stable and not affected by fungi or other ways the dye tends to rot/degrade in CD-R/DVD-R.

Modern, high-coercitivity magnetic data tape only really has issues with hydrolysis of the binder that holds the magnetic particles to the PET film. This is prevented by very, very dry storage under about 15 degree Celsius. See e.g. this chart: https://i0.wp.com/clir.wordpress.clir.org/wp-content/uploads...

Yup, that was exactly my workflow as well! And for building CLIs it's quite nice. Once I started using AppKit though, it felt like I kept running into things that weren't quite finished.
And if you'd read the rest of my comment, you'll notice two different rationales behind punitive damages that have nothing to do with teaching lessons. It's all about deterrence.
Awfully quick to judge eh? I agree with everything the parent comment said, and I:

1. Live alone

2. Have not worked for nearly a year now. Technically I’m on leave due to extreme burnout, so I’m even more hosed (can’t collect unemployment).

3. (see below) Have been dealing with a wicked combo of depression/anxiety/ADD/OCD for 20+ years now, but the last 3 or so have been worse. I’ve been extremely isolated for the last year—I’ve spent countless days in bed, not eating my first meal until 11pm. I was just starting to improve in February, trying to get back on my feet and out into the world. My lifelines were the climbing gym (social+exercise time) and libraries/coffee shops. Luckily I (finally) got into a therapist in January, which is still available and co-pay free.

Despite all this, I think the lockdowns were a necessary emergency response to the crisis, with one major caveat—we did (and are doing) too little, too late, and too incompetently. It was glaringly obvious back in February that we needed to start taking measured action to mitigate the spread of the virus (as other countries—Taiwan, NZ, SK, etc did). Our response was an abject failure of reason and leadership, and I hope no one ever forgets that.

So although I’m pretty thoroughly fucked, I’m adapting and surviving. In many ways, it’s comforting and galvanizing to have a common cause to rally around. My attitude is that this crisis could be a catalyst for profound personal and societal growth.

And therein lies the source of some genuine hatred that is beginning to bubble up towards people that aggressively flaunt even the most basic courtesies and precautions, like wearing any form of nose/mouth covering whatsoever when inside a building. Just yesterday I saw a couple (in their 60s) stiff arm the door greeter at WF who was handing out free mask. It was nonstop people brusquely walking headlong into me. This says nothing about the unhelpful binary thinking around open vs. closed, economy vs. health, normal life vs. totalitarianism. Society’s tool of choice for preventing and solving unfolding catastrophes seems to be to pretend they don’t exist and give up, to reflexively fracture ourselves rather than come together to solve a challenge. And I find that to be the most profoundly depressing thing of all.
There is a bug where the box will be drawn offset a bit to the right and down of my cursor. The interface is mostly good. I wonder how the whiteboards are persisted. Are they autosaved? So they expire? Can they be exported (to some data format, to SVG, to PNG)?
>Apparently he wanted to have guests who would provide alternative public health narratives and was told that this was a no-go on YouTube.

As it should be.

Spreading pseudoscience isn't creative, its destructive.
This is a really good question.

I don't think there are a lot of good normative answers -- I dislike open offices and cubes aren't much better (and at present, I'd especially have trouble regarding a management team that's still on board with them with either respect or trust).

But I'd guess the descriptive answer is that the open office is essentially the new factory floor. Many information age jobs look "white collar" but at a certain level, they function and are viewed through a widget-factory management lens.
I've had better luck with AdGuard for Safari than 1Blocker. I use AdGuard on both macOS and iOS, and I just use their content-blocking Safari extensions, not any of their other products. I had paid for 1Blocker but found it increasingly let ads through. I wanted a product based off of EasyList instead (which AdGuard filters are).
There are better, more efficient ways to monetize than ads. Ads are one of the most destructive and socially wasteful ways to monetize content; it's just technically easy. If we make ads nonviable, you can expect things like micropayments to become more common (and I'm happy to make that trade).
Microsoft used to have private offices as well that didn't take all that much seniority to get. Much like the FAANGs, it was a competitive place to get into and stay in, so productivity monitoring wasn't a thing.
Again, it's debatable, but as I continued in my comment, even when charitably accepting your premise, your argument loses its strength.

A fully socialized healthcare system is one of many implementations of universal healthcare in the developed world today, and you'll have to find an answer for why the most efficient system in the world is the one that just happens to rely the most on consumer-driven market mechanisms.
Similar concept. I had a business professor in university who, for an assignment, made us take one of our classes through secondlife

> I'm not surprised that Siri gets things like this wrong, unlike every traditional search engine. Each text based search engine returns more than one possible response, and if they return the wrong answer first, they can monitor how often people click on other answers, and use that to continously train their engine. Apple does not have that source of training data.

Amazon doesn't have that either. Google Assistant is the best when it comes to answering questions
can i also add that containers were not really built with multiple services or apps running inside them in mind? there are workarounds but, honestly, they are not worth it.

also, author seems to be using ubuntu. i wonder if he has considered multipass? https://multipass.run
>>Terrible performance. One of my engineers recently thought that 150ms was terrific for a HTTP request. Break out of the container and it was <10ms. YMMV.

Try Linux and all those lags,spikes,inconsistencies are magically gone.
They're not actually providing it themselves - Aiven actually runs the backend. Seems like that points to it having some longevity.

> Why on earth should someone living in a state specifically ask for the local time in a different location within that same state?

Because they want to know what time it is in a different location.

14 states have more than one time zone. Do you know which ones?
Well, "nuke" might be the wrong word, but doesn't it depend on the end goal? The EU seems to be taking the "extract wealth" approach, and just as with destabilization, is there anything wrong with that?

I'm not answering the question; I'm asking it. I guess my overarching question in the end is whether or not it should be left up to the free market to resolve an issue that's spawned from an entity operating "outside" of it, either literally (e.g. in China) or figuratively (e.g. antitrust violations).
This again? I think your point is appropriate when speaking Spanish, Portuguese (EDIT: not Portuguese), etc. However, in common English (no, not just in the US) the word "America" more often refers to the USA. Languages don't use the same or derivative words for many other countries as well.
I am also using RxJS in React. I created a few hooks to make it life a bit easier. While I think it's useful for my use cases, I have the feeling a deeper integration would be even more useful (although I don't know how exactly that would look like, maybe better hooks than mine?).

Regarding Angular and RxJS, I don't think Angular really embraces RxJS (other than maybe the Async-Pipe). Actually I think it often feels awkward to work with RxJS in Angular, especially when you use observables that are not used via the Async-Pipe, unsubscribing for instance is annoying at best.
By their Facebook account, it's the persons current age that matters. I don't know what they do if they don't have one, but I doubt many people without accounts would be targeted for an attack.
Yeah, window managers are generally the biggest consumers of that set of APIs (although even yabai only uses very few of the ones available). If you have more questions feel free to ask, although of course as these are all private APIs I may not have correct/any answer for you.
As the saying goes, don’t build a tower until you’ve counted the costs, because of you only get it built halfway people will mock you.

All of these changes look good and quite frankly progressive (highest made a max of 4x the lowest, for example). Now that they haven’t delivered, it looks like it was just talk.

A shame really, because I’d like to see this kind of transparency catch on, but calling out the hypocrisy will certainly put downward pressure on it.
I built a few Swift CLIs before, but this was my first time working with AppKit (the macOS GUI framework)
It can depend on the nature of the job. More creative jobs and those about figuring out deep and complex problems need more solitude I think. If it's more of a straightforward task that just needs to be done, it's probably easier to do it among distractions. Cleaning up code, refactoring, code review, etc are the latter category for me. Coming up with a new design or figuring out what problem to solve, how to frame the issue, what is the issue about deep down, taking steps back and looking at the whole picture, that's the former.
This is probably just stackoverflow's mediocre content strategy, they're trying to get some distance between all of their gaffes (the unilateral re-licensing of content, the monica celio mod debacle, etc.)
Ah, Apple. When you can no longer innovate, just start removing features and call it simplicity...
Thank you!

Corrected a few of my own misconceptions:

- Microwave ovens do not heat food due to resonance with water molecules.

- Spacecraft reentering the atmosphere are not heated due to friction.

- Worldwide poverty has not been increasing.
They will still show ads. Paying users are more valuable and the ones you actually want to show ads to.
If you are referring to Microsoft, then yes, the US and Europe both prosecuted them and placed restrictions on them.
I do use my adblocker disable button, but not in response to sites pleading for me to do so. I just find that sometimes it helps when a web app is being wonky. (Usually, the adblocker has misidentified one of the app’s main first-party JS files as an ad script and prevented it from loading.) Of course, since we’re talking about web apps, no ads usually result from this.

Taking into account that all Rogan does these days is defend Trump, I could care less. Let his podcast shrivel away hidden behind a Spotify paywall.
Yes that's a problem... hopefully they'll fix it and then it's fixed for many sites.

But this blog post doesn't set up IP version 6 either.
You're proposing creating an affirmative obligation on private parties to carry products or content they have no contractual obligation to. Why? What's the compelling reason we should allow YouTube to delete videos they don't like, but not allow them to delete videos that received a copyright complaint?

Personally I think the liability should be on the party submitting the complaint, not the platform. As long as the platform is permitted to reinstate the content after an appeal (which is what the DMCA counternotice safe harbor is about), that's enough. The DMCA framework works well [0], and I would like if it was extended to patents and trademark/counterfeit accusations as well.

[0] with the caveat that the standard for liability for false claims should be lowered, and they should be treated as per se antitrust violations.
> Drive will restrict usage...

> ... including terminating your account or ability to use Drive.

I think that the controversial part is that the file was deleted. I'd find it surprising if some file from my Drive is just deleted instead of restricting public access or using another form of enforcing the policy.
The legal basis is that companies which violate US sanctions are not allowed to operate in the US, or transact business using financial services companies which operate in the US. That applies even if no part of the transaction passes through US territory.
Companies who make a web browser and a company that builds the hardware backbone of a nation's internet are not even comparable.
That's definitely what people were referring to when they had good googlefu abilities. It was always odd to me when people would have trouble finding stuff and come to me for help. I somehow picked up that language to search effectively while growing up during search engines infancy.

It's weird that it feels like my tried and true abilities are getting worse. Or Googles algorithm is hurting some of us that became very proficient in very specific ways.
With ad blocking, some sites present you with an overlay, preventing you from accessing content.

A really nice Chrome and FF extension to scrub overlays is named Behind The Overlay:

I am almost never in a situation where the content is worth the trouble of disabling my ad-blocker. Information is so-readily available that is it laughable that a website would be essential enough for me to bother turning my ad-blocker off, and the few times I've had it has nearly-universally resulted raw clickbait. Furthermore, that sort of behavior displays an arrogance from the publisher that makes me question the overall integrity of the article I was trying to read in the first place.
That’s a good point. Having those numbers would be interesting, and hopefully help us employ better use of funding.

Having an anonymous survey portion that you ripped off from the main test and is collected separately could be beneficial, I think. I would want to also ask questions about their parents backgrounds, if they had a connection with a teacher in high school, internet access, and general questions about social media usage.
Originally my plan was to upload everything to Google Photos and then export the metadata out via their API into a SQLite database so I could query it.

Google Photos does not have a comprehensive API - and more importantly they refuse to release geolocation information through it, which killed that option entirely for me. https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/80379228

Short answer is: The 2.0 release won't natively support automated failover, although you can build around using PG tools like physical replication + Patroni. But these capabilities are certainly things we are working on.

Per the PR notes:

The current implementation has many more limitations
that will be addressed over time:

- HA and replication has to be managed node-by-node.
This will be improved with native replication.
Healthy business rivalry is good, systematic theft and cloning of superior products is what we’re talking about here and huawei absolutely deserves the “corporate death penalty” for its behavior.
Making something illegal causes it to be more expensive. Look at cocaine and marijuana (minus taxes). This is not a fair comparison. The U.S. gov. practically confiscated gold at way below market prices and instilled fear to those who held it.

Fortunately gold is a global market that can’t be manipulated long term.
> The article tries to address this a little bit with the "Ad blockers do not block all advertising" section, but I don't think it fully acknowledges that if everyone installs uBlock Origin as the article suggests the web as we know it will collapse.

The web as we know it "collapses" every ten years anyway. The question is what replaces it.
