> I'm beating a dead horse here, but I want to repeat myself: you don't have to use the AfC process at all. You can just create a new Wikipedia article directly, without any admin review. You go through AfC because you choose to do so, not because Wikipedia has a whole complicated flowchart that gates which new articles can be created.

It's a bit sad that so many commenters do not understand this basic fact.

Looking at so many of the comments here: People have no idea how Wikipedia works, and to a certain extent, even what it is. People are treating it and its admins as a separate entity from the rest of the world, when in reality both contributors and admins are you and me. Whenever I see a comment here saying "Well, the admin could have at least done a Google search...", I realize people have no idea what they are talking about. Why are they expecting an admin to Google about every single article they review? It's like asking the editor of a newspaper to go do some research himself instead of complaining about a freelancer submitting a poorly sourced article.

I can now relate with those teachers who in the early days of Wikipedia kept forbidding it as a source in school papers. It's been around 20 years, and it's quite clear from the comments that even well educated folks do not understand it. Wikipedia has lots of problems, but also lots of benefits. It's critical to understand its shortcomings if you intend to rely on the information contained within.
I remember reading this when it came out. Amazing work.

Edit: I don't understand her endgame. She's not going back to work at Apple after the negative publicity she's been generating. She probably doesn't care because she's in law school and will be graduating soon. Is her goal to negotiate a generous settlement? The negative publicity reduces the value of her settlement. (Companies will pay for an NDA as part of a settlement, but only if the damaging info isn't already public.) Is she pursuing some naive, idealistic notion of justice? Or is it all to establish "cred" for her future legal career?

Lots of overlap on the lists, but I decided not to doubly-list individuals -- and the lists are by no means complete, I favored recent centuries.

That said, Musk is tremendously successful and awe-inspiring; this pissing contest is a miserable thing to participate in -- but I still think it's important to point out that Musk isn't the only awe-inspiring success ever.
“Here is my related hypothesis: we now put more weight on many smaller lower-noise status markers, instead of fewer bigger noisier markers. In particular, we put more weight on markers of connections to statusful people and institutions.”

I wonder if the writer is familiar with the class system? Or noticed the democratisation of connection through technology? From a historical perspective, this part at least seems backwards to me. At best, the “now” is irrelevant and there is either no such trend or it has changed more form than quantity.

Made me suspect that the rest is over-thought.

I'm not sure what tone your comment is intended to give off, but does there exist a person who _isn't_ willing to trade privacy for convenience to some degree? One certainly couldn't be using the internet or participating in society if they weren't willing to give up some privacy.
That's not an actual reply.
Genuinely curious, just limit yourself to a list of 5, and don't worry about ranking so nobody more important is left out.
In the example, fnord77 posted, you can replace all the places that they used personal.github.com. It will be usable anywhere you would use ssh, including when going through a few tools that ultimately resolve to an ssh invocation. I won't copy the host block in .ssh/config but you could, for example:

`sshuttle -r my-cloud-server 0/0` for a poor man's vpn

`ssh some-enterprise-server` for when the server has a user unfriendly domain name that you don't want to bother remembering

`git clone git@github-personal:myusername/somerepo.git` when you want to clone using your personal key from GitHub.

There is the caveat, though, that you may have some nested dependencies that will use the plain ole every day host name in which case things will break for you. It rarely comes up, though, in my experience.
The UI story on Windows is completely broken but that has been the case forever.

Has MS basically released anything sustainable on the UI side since MFC?

It feels like they’ve constantly provided a new new replacement every few years that replaced the new replacement from a few years ago since then.
So one thing you can do is put the following in your ~/.gitconfig:

[includeIf "gitdir:/home/john/corp/**"]
path = .gitconfig-corp

And then ~/.gitconfig-corp:

[user]
email = john@example.com
name = John Doe

[url "git@github.com-corp"]
insteadOf = git@github.com

Now all repos under the path /home/john/corp/ will use that config. Then you can put a new host in your SSH config:

Host github.com-corp
HostName github.com
User git
IdentityFile /home/john/.ssh/corp_github

This way you can have different e-mail address and name in your commit messages as well.

Due to the nature of git you can't scope it via GH URL (you can have many remotes in the same local repo). Though you can still manually rewrite when you add a remote with just the SSH config change, e.g.

git clone git@github.com-corp:corp/foobar.git

So, if this anything like Elon Musk's "full self driving" promises, Tesla's actually going to deliver wheeled robot that pushes the cart behind you while you do the grocery shopping, and occasionally knocks over a endcap display.
You're right. I'm sure somebody is working on cryptonlyfans already.

I worked in a factory that was the distribution centre for all the cold and frozen food in every Safeway in the sate. There were a few hundred of us who had to pickup a heavy box from a conveyor belt, turn around, take a step or two and put the heavy box down on a pallet. When the pallet was full someone would come and take it away. Repeat. For 8-10 hours a day, 6 days a week.

Upstairs people were manually putting those boxes on the belts. It destroyed people's bodies, I'm happy I only worked there for a few months each year to put myself through University.

The factory was very high tech and cutting edge, though the humans at each end of the conveyor belts were unavoidable.

We messed up all the time - dropped boxes, did bad stacking and made pallets fall over, crashed pallet jacks and knocked over pallets etc. The failure rate was probably around 5%, I'd guess.

Starting pay was around $30/hr, double that on Sundays, and 2.5 on Public Holidays

A humanoid robot that actually works most of the time will change the world.
There are definitely mapping apps out there that let you put custom layers on a map or annotate a base map and then project it in perspective like that.

Did you guys ever solve the massive TTS problem? I would use Organic Maps if not for this. It's a bit of a safety concern when you need to look at the map all the time.
Your argument is "the technology is flawed, there let's also arrest anyone who we suspect of generating false positives".

Like security researchers. Or the people currently inspecting the algorithm. And also frankly what are you going to do about overseas adversaries? The most likely people looking at how to exploit this would explicitly be state-sponsored Russian hackers - this is right up the alley of their desire to be able to cause low level chaos without committing to a serious attack.

And at the end of the day you've still succeeded: the point is that by the time you've established it was spurious, the target has already been through the legal wringer. The legal wringer is the point.
So, your logic is that because only 2 companies do it, that's a bad thing. Yet when every other company providing a service takes a percentage that makes it okay?

Naw, I think this site has lots of people personally having to pay that 30% cut, but when other people have to pay it they don't care because it's other people.
Every manual job I’ve ever done I’ve probably failed more than 1% of every movement. But then I correct. In a car moving at high speeds (focus matters more), I do this less often, but I have been in crashes.
That sounds like a nice idea, but the problem is that there are many different ways to reason about most math problems.

If a curriculum is badly designed, it's going to dump one model on the students, and that's going to come to the detriment of some of them. Maybe you already learned your multiplication tables, and sitting around and drawing a 5x6 grid and counting the squares is going to frustrate and annoy. It's almost certainly going to drive parents wild, because they won't be raised with the jargon and rules, leaving them unable to help.

There's also the risk that any new material is poorly debugged or documented. When it's just about "a single right answer", we probably can get consensus that 5x6=30. But if we try to grade the reasoning tools used to get there, those are often not as universally standardized. One kid draws his 5x6 grid horizontally, and one draws it vertically. The teachers and grading rubrics have to have enough understanding and flexibility to recognize they're equivalent. In the worst case, you end up distracting students from the actual concepts by weighing them down with a bunch of unrelated rules unique to the teaching system.

I recall taking a maths class once which basically covered the same problems several times over, each time using a different model to solve them. I could see a case for a course like that. But that was a 400-level elective college course, so there's probably different constraints and expectations than when you're trying to teach 4th grade students multiplication.

The other worry I have is that we're doing a lot of window-dressing in the name of reducing "math anxiety". Every few years they try to dress up math concepts in a new way in the hopes students will find them less intimidating. Why does this seem to be unique to math? There seems to be no rush to replace Shakespeare in the schools with something students can more easily reason about.

I personally won’t use any work app on my personal phone and vice versa. I can’t imagine being forced to merge accounts by a supervisor ever again. I’m willing to give my cell phone number for an emergency however.
You also should not do work stuff on personal devices. Yes, this does include checking work email on your phone. Ask the company to give you one if your work requires that you do.

This may be slightly more controversial, but I would extend this firewall to conversations with coworkers --- don't tell them anything that could be used against you either, i.e. mentions of personal projects or accounts. I keep a clear "no real name" policy for personal things which are publicly visible --- including HN --- which avoids the delicate situation of people I know who have had their employer complain about stuff with their name on it, in their personal life, that someone else had found and didn't like.
Well, anything that if you do incorrectly someone (or some robot) will likely spot it before the failure gets to a customer. For instance, if you have a robot that picks fruit but 1% of the time the fruit is not ripe or is worm-eaten or something, then you can have a process where the picked fruit are inspected a second time and the bad ones thrown out.

Another case where 1% failure would be acceptable is weeding. Suppose you have a bunch of robots removing invasive English ivy from a forest. Maybe once in a while they'll pull up salal or a fern or something by mistake, but that's fine because those aren't endangered species and in the absence of ivy the ecosystem will quickly recover.
In many circumstances, yes I am. :)
Plus, if you quit then recovering all those accounts is incredibly annoying.

Yeah, they’d have to be quite tentative numbers, not held to the same level of scrutiny as quarterly report numbers. I actually used to be a data engineer, working on internal BI stuff, and worked a tonne with our finance team automating all sorts of their previously manual work. A massive amount of it was automate-able - humans had to make decisions about how we’d recognize/classify different types of revenue, but once those decisions were made, automating their application wasn’t hard.

It’d be a lot of work, but I certainly think doable for most businesses.

Sure, that would be bad. So it only needs to be good enough to fold correctly for 99 days, and then on the 100th day just do nothing (i.e., detect a problem and hard STOP).

Then a hard reboot will kick it back into line and we're good to go again.

Obviously that's not good enough for driving a car, but it certainly is in all the manual labor jobs I've ever had.

this sounds strange. Apple compels their workers to mix their personal and corporate accounts? If I would start to work at Apple and say, "please give me a separate account solely for work, I don't want to compromise or mix my and your data", they're going to say nope?

Almost sounds not believable. Any place I've ever worked at has if anything insisted to never bring private data into corporate environments precisely for security and legal reasons.

I don't dismiss Tesla's successes at all, but they are primarily repackaging and improving technologies that already exist. They didn't need to invent the lithium-ion battery, or the electric motor, or the automobile; all of those things already existed and were available to be adapted to Tesla's desired use.

Humanoid robots, however, are a much harder problem than building a mass-market-ready electric car. In order for someone to bring to market a robot that can perform general household tasks, for instance picking up dirty laundry around the house, putting it the washing machine and dryer, then folding or hanging it up, then they first need to make multiple fundamental several-order-of-magnitude breakthroughs in the fields of machine vision, robotic locomotion, energy storage, artificial general intelligence, etc.

I'm not dismissive because I don't think Tesla is full of brilliant people who can do amazing things. I'm dismissive because building a useful, mass-market humanoid robot would be an achievement of incredible magnitude that's as far outside of the current envelope of technological achievement as the moon landing would have been to the Wright brothers.

You can spend as much time on work as you want, but you only get so much time with your children. OP's point is that you should guard the time you have and spend it wisely. Personally, I find carrying a second device and keeping things separate part of maintaining a healthy balance between my work and my personal time.

I also don't want my personal devices or projects tied up in some corporate legal proceeding, so I keep them separate for that reason as well.
Smoking was common in Tokyo arcades up until mid 2020. Tokyo introduced a new, stricter set of regulations that banned smoking in most businesses unless they have a dedicated smoking room/section. Most arcades didn't build those facilities, so they are legally obligated to be smoke free[1]. Arcades outside of Tokyo have to comply with the looser national regulations.

As a non-smoker who regularly frequented arcades, I welcome this change. Sadly since COVID I've avoided going out entirely, and am not surprised that the industry is dying. I agree with trzy in a separate thread: experiences like The Void[2] which are impossible to have at home are the only thing I can see driving people back to arcades.

We tried to order 100 and were told the lead time was 36 weeks. We got through it with existing stock, scrounging displays from dead boards. Buying different displays and replacing the backlights. Small orders of 10 here, 15 there. And pushing a few customers out a month or two.

Sailfish is pretty great. Devices get industry leading software update support (the only device they ever dropped got 7 years of updates). Great UI. It even supports a fairly good Android emulation mode if you want to run some Android apps. You can shut down the Android emulator when not in use for power usage and peace of mind.

EDIT: The devices are cheap too, but aren't slow. Typical cost is less than $250 including both the device and software license. The software is mostly open source, but there are a few licensed components. It is possible to use Sailfish without the proprietary bits for free.

After playing with this a bit, I can't conclude that anybody is seriously attempting to generate nsfw content with this. The prompts may be nsfw in some way or another (at least in the most literal sense) but nobody is actually expecting to make this output porn.

The outputs are so vague and abstract that even mentioning an animal produces something very abstract but just reminiscent enough that it can actually be bit disgusting.

And even looking at the (rather well selected) examples on the main page, I can't imagine anybody expecting anything remotely realistic or coherent their first time around.

I think this is mostly just people screwing around. People screw around with stupid shit because they find it amusing. They always have, and always will.

I also have to agree with another commenter that it's very strange to consider nsfw prompts to be entirely separate from any kind of art.
KYC/AML isn't just for hiding income, it's about understanding the threshold for which someone wants to do business with an individual or company. For the same reason CC companies don't want to take on potentially illegal activity, no crypto exchange is going to take on the risk of business conducting $B's of dollars worth of crypto as its means to doing business.

This is essentially how Coinbase is allowed to operate - it doesn't have whales on its platform, just millions of KYC'd minnows who are individually low risk.
Yeah, I'm talking about having used React extensively since its inception 8 years ago with a couple of 1-3 years periods of being out of that ecosystem and coming back again.

I'm sure it's a completely different game these days.
