>I'd love to have a way to lock a plan in a temporary "emergency measure" fashion.

Could this be achieved by extending prepared statements? [1]
The dirty option would be to introduce a new keyword like PREPAREFIXED.

The first time such a statement is executed, the execution plan could be stored and then retrieved on subsequent queries. There would be no hints and the changes in code should be minimal.

Once a query runs successfully, the users can be sure that the execution plan won't change.

>But of course it's hard/impossible to design this without letting people abuse it

Is this more important than having predictable execution times?

Some of the things that make BOWWE stand out:

- inbuilt SEO plugin

- free hosting service

- Code; it's very clean which makes websites position way higher in all search engines and making it easier to be noticed

- not only every single template can be edited but also every single widget and element of a website (changes in the template don't disintegrate it, so you can freely and without fear modify it)

- clients' projects achieve very high positions in search engines (in AHREFS and Pingdom, the results are usually 87-100%)

We have big plans and every single day we are working on new features. Here you can see our road map: https://app.loopedin.io/bowwe

Thank you for your question.
Wow! I am thinking of starting in Mexico and then making my way further south. Web3 / Blockchain development is definitely on my list. Is there a way to follow what you've been working on? How/Why Brazil?
That's not compatibilism - as long as "will" can influence the physical world, you have a non-materialist philosophy. Nothing wrong with that, but it's very strange to call it compatibilism.

For what it's worth, I don't see any reason to imagine that hard decisions are of any other quality than easy decisions. It's part of my history and experience just as much that I prefer to eat salty foods than sweet ones as it is that I sometimes abstain from eating that pizza to try to manage my waistline, or refuse that job offer because I don't want to work for a company I don't find ethical.
The thing being impressive as it is, I could understand how most things work in it.

But they support animated stickers! This is both wonderful and terrifying. Verily, Emacs is an operating system (with a decent editor built in). What next, a DAW?

There was no "fully self driving" in play with this accident. The driver has the responsibility to control the car. He let the car drive through a red light. He's wholly at fault.

This is the press release announcing the famously-vaporware "Copland" Mac OS 8, not the System-7.7-renamed-8.0 or the NeXT-derived "Rhapsody" that would come later, since the failure of this project is what led to the NeXT acquisition in the first place: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copland_(operating_system)

I avoided saying the words in my parent comment to try and minimize controversy, but if you're interested in learning more, what I describe is referred to as the "attention economy"[0].

The "information overload" problem has been known about for at least 40 years!

I needed a quick fix while waiting for the new microwave to arrive. We're a family of four so going several weeks without a microwave isn't an option.

The original keypad was broken, not sure if it's the ribbon cable (which does show signs of wear) or the actual contacts under the keys (which I wasn't able to access).

After several rounds of messing with the keypad ribbon cable, putting the front panel back together, testing, and trying again, I decided the best thing to do would be to just break out the minimum set of buttons needed for operating the microwave until the replacement arrives.

I had a couple of keyboard switches laying around so I figured I'd use that. Upon powering the microwave, the user has to enter the time and press "settings" to confirm, so at the very least I had to wire the "1" key (to enter 11:11 as the time) and "settings". I also wired "+30 seconds" to easily set the cooking time, and "cancel".

It's been a real pleasure to press those mechanical switches, but it's only a short term fix. We have a new microwave coming soon!

Overall, I'm a bit disapointed with the reliability of GE appliances. 9 years isn't bad, but it could certainly have lasted longer.
Just speculating, because it's using a suite of AWS managed services throughout (CloudFront, S3, Route53, API Gateway) and it's a common design to use Lambda functions with API Gateway. Knowing that this is a very high profile, high traffic site launch, and knowing something of the attitudes of the USDS team, they are likely to want to minimize the number of moving parts and services they have to manage themselves. Also, observing the interaction of the site, which all boils down to a simple HTTP POST of a small JSON blob to the API Gateway endpoint, I am (again just speculating) assuming they are wanting to do minimal processing and just stuff the JSON into a database as quickly as possible. It could be an RDS database, but that still seems like too much administration, and especially since DynamoDB can do highly scalable writes, it just seems like the least surprising choice. I could be wrong, and it would be great to hear the team share on record what's actually under the hood, but given what we can confirm externally by observation plus what we know about the mission and the team, I feel reasonably confident it is all managed services, at least on the frontend component we can interact with.
if the car automatically “suddenly and unintentionally accelerated to an excessive, unsafe and uncontrollable speed", even an attentive driver could find themselves unable to prevent the crash. it strikes me as more akin to a car with faulty brakes. such a car would not be certified as fit for the road. perhaps self driving should not be either.
Definitely. Scientific understanding, thankfully, evolves!
Could it just be that Linux Dell XPS buyers are less price sensitive? There's and underlying assumption in the question that increased Dell pricing is justified by increased Dell expenditure.
This is why I disable updates for every piece of software that I use. People criticize this often, but it puts me in control. I can then review updates when I feel like it, and update as I see fit.
From your link:

> There are two basic ways to protect or harden items against EMP effects. The first
method is metallic shielding. Shields are made of a continuous piece of metal such as
steel or copper. A metal enclosure generally does not fully shield the interior because of
the small holes that are likely to exist. Therefore, this type of shielding often contains
additional elements to create the barrier. Commonly, only a fraction of a millimeter of a
metal is needed to supply adequate protection. This shield must completely surround
the item to be hardened.

> The second method, tailored hardening, is a more cost-effective way of hardening. In
this method, only the most vulnerable elements and circuits are redesigned to be more
rugged. The more rugged elements will be able to withstand much higher currents. This
method has shown unpredictable failures in testing, though it is thought it may be useful
to make existing systems less vulnerable.

Seems reasonable to provide EMP shielding to a drone?
What I've read people write online is to ditch inkjets altogether and go with laser printer or use megatank printers. Don't know how better they are though.

Compared to means-tested aid with duplicative bureaucracy to that which already exists for income taxation? Depends on a number of factors, including whether you find it by closing the gap between labor and non-labor taxes so that you aren't punishing people for hiring, whether and how you adjust minimum wage in light of it, how you set the level of basic income relative to productive capacity, whether you index it to a revenue stream divided among the eligible population, or target a constant real income level, or set the level by some other means, etc.

Blocking content is not the way. I ran into Encyclopedia Dramatica and similar when I was like 12, and I wish that didn't happen, but there are no technical filters that would've stopped it. In my experience, kids will find a way around anything you could do, and they will want to fight what they perceive as unjust restrictions. Talk to them and communicate, you can't solve this with a technical solution.

Also, Discord is not end-to-end encrypted. (Messages are sent and scrollback is loaded over HTTPS, realtime messages are received over an HTTPS WebSocket. (They are compressed, but not encrypted any more than normal HTTPS.))

School devices are generally monitored/filtered way too much already. Fortunately until highschool I'd always been able to bypass blocking by changing my DNS or using HTTPS. My highschool has Fortinet though which seems to do SNI filtering so whenever I need to visit blocked things I have to use Tor. (There's probably a more efficient way but Tor works fine.)
Suitable story, hacking walled gardens on HN.

Reminds me of the Rigol DS1054Z 50 MHz oscilloscope, that you can trivially 'hack' into the more expensive DS1074Z 75 MHz or DS11074Z 100 MHz scope. Rigol hasn't disabled this hack, even though they can easily do it. They likely loose money if they do so, since customers move to other scopes.

Also, some Tesla updates make the experience worse instead of better (V11 update is terrible, inconsistent UI and much more menu diving). I should have disabled auto-updates, and read the forums before doing the update next time.

"Littered" is the operative word: who today uses any of them? (Maybe lex and yacc.) In the 80s and 90s, viable alternatives to C were thin on the ground, so the population demographic of C coders (which included myself) differed markedly from today. That hardly any are used today tells us about the inclinations of the long tail of remaining hold-out C coders.
Calling it “full self-driving” is promoting it as being autonomous, regardless of what the disclaimers say. If it’s not capable of that, they should call it something else.
If only any other system of thought could make any kind of verifiable prediction, it would be wise to reject materialism. As it is though, you either have magical systems of thought, that reject the very framework of science; or ones which amount to materialism plus some handwaving.
I don't disagree with you... in fact my Nordic ProForm treadmill includes a built in tablet mount that floats above the control panel. I used it with my iPad up until I found out this "God Mode" of side loading apps existed.

But some of these exercise machines actually come with an impressive 32inch HD screen and loud speakers built-in which you can hear over the running noise. If you stop paying hundreds of dollars per year for an iFit subscription, the only thing this giant display does is show you the time and distance on a white background.

And perhaps you'd say, "don't buy a machine with a built-in screen", I'd say the article points out people actually decided to purchase these models _specifically_ because help articles and other resources showed how to get into the Android interface. Sideloading apps was practically sold as a feature.
That sounds harder than just driving

>>A fighter plane equipped with artificial intelligence could eventually execute tighter turns, take greater risks, and get off better shots than human pilots.

No.

(1) An AI-controlled fighter is still limited by the laws of physics. In 99% of circumstances the pilots ability to "pull G" is not the deciding factor in maneuvering. Pulling 10+ is only possible for a wing, ANY wing, in very specific circumstances of speed an air pressure. Most realworld dogfighting occurs well below human G limitations.

(2) Can AI take greater risks? Fighter pilots in combat don't avoid risk out of fear for their own live. That isn't part of their thinking. They avoid risk because the loss of their aircraft will have knock-on impacts to the rest of the operation. Fighter pilots do not protect themselves, they protect a host of other aircraft and people standing behind them. The concept that an AI pilot will press an attack where a human pilot would back off out of fear evidences a lack of understanding. Fighter pilots don't back down for such reasons. Listen to the recordings/transcripts of pilots in dogfights over Vietnam. They are aggressive to a fault, once in an turning fight pressing the attack no matter the likely outcome.

(3) What "better shots" will these AI be taking? Missiles are not arrows. They are autonomous vehicles. Whether an AI or a human pilot launches them is of little consequence to a sidewinder. There is a place (cranking) where an AI pilot might be able to better perform the maneuver and better-guide a missile, but that isn't AI rather than a basic autopilot-type assist (holding target at a particular angle). As for gun shots, AI is no needed to calculate a trajectory and fire the cannot at the appropriate moment to most likely intercept the target. That is well within non-AI tech.
If the police can prove to a court that there’s evidence somebody’s committing a serious crime I’m fine with them listening to people talk in person.

For example, if it really looked like I were trafficking drugs it would be fine to send somebody to follow me and listen to me talk to people
Unix with its "worse is better" simplicity steamrollered vastly more complex operating systems (Multics above all).

It even steamrollered its own successor. Plan 9 is brilliant, but Unix already served most people's needs so why change.

Mental game: If they had managed to quickly push the whole thing out as what is now called open source, while Unix was still proprietary, how would the world look now?
Of course it won’t solve those problems, it simply does one useful thing, allows untrusted transfer of a representation of “money”..

I’m just fed up with people demonizing crypto while our society is far more dependent on the destruction of the environment.

Ban using cheap electricity to fuel crypto, sure, and pay “miners” with transaction fees. And ofc fuck the speculators and the get-rich-quick morons. I guess the problem is that it would easily tank the whole ecosystem if it got reduced to something more reasonable.

Ofc the same is true for the world economy, hence my comment.

That sounds like a snowball problem. Not only will the government need to pay UBI, but also these other jobs. How to pay for it?
Honest question: why? If the things that need to be done in society are getting done, why does it matter what other people spend their time on?
You can sell software that decompiles, disassembles and recompiles software. Same thing with software that manipulates and edits existing copyrighted videos.

Publishing it, however, is where copyright law kicks in. Publishing is a specific right that you need to be granted by the rights holders.

I don't see how software running on a client's computer that changes rendering of copywritten work is the same thing as publication. Browsers, video players and Adobe's products all allow users to view and modify copyrighted works on their machines, and that isn't publication at all.

> Where would a planned economy come in?

By redistributing the amount of money in question, you are effectively planning the economy. You are writing into law the idea that everyone should be able to afford to eat, with no means to contend with the fact that there may not be enough food.

I don't think you're addressing my core thesis. When I worked in a restaurant, I did it to maintain myself - to pay primarily for rent and food. My coworkers were much the same. If I was provided these things, I wouldn't have applied at the restaurant. Multiply this by every tedious or difficult job and you'll find that many of them just wouldn't get done. People will avoid them, and pursue other fields. This sort of thing has actually happened in places like the USSR. Loads of highly educated, trained specialists, talented (or not) artists, shortages of farmers and labourers. Breadlines.
For my treadmill: Who cares? If my maid is evil and reporgrams my treadmill to randomly throw me off, there's a dozen more effective and hard to detect ways she could set traps in my house, like setting up common household cleaning products to mix and fill the house with chlorine gas.

The Pinephone Pro is much faster, and I wouldn't call it "slow" at all.

However, the Pinephone Pro does not have as mature drivers/kernel/etc. as the OG Pinephone, so I think trying to compare battery life at this point is unfair, as we are comparing something folks have had lots of time to refine versus a brand new product.
The incentives are not aligned that way. It might be true that diagnosis helps patients, but diagnoses also helps the clinician by providing a patient. This is the dark side of mental illness research.

Ideal for patients would be receiving the attention of a non-specialist who can be very broad in understanding what sequence of specialist attention is needed, when to pull the plug on that attention, and how to track the overall health and well being of a particular patient especially in regards to anything psychiatric. Virtually no MDs/GPs are going to do that.
My feeling is that this is a temporary thing that leverages previous generations propensity for compliance and happily being controlled and screwed over constantly.

I have been appalled at the way people bend over and open their wallet since I was a preteen. Nordic and all the other rent seeking shits count on people blindly using their product they way they are told to. I'm surprised Nordic isn't suing their customers yet.
Letter from Union Pacific to LA District Attorney re: train thefts, safety [pdf]
In that particular benchmark (3d particle movement), the 11700K performed about 4x better than the AMD 5900X. Performance/watt clearly wasn't suffering.

Perhaps it could downlock more to address the wattage while still coming well ahead in terms of performance, although some older CPUs doing this gave AVX512 a bad reputation.

Few workloads are as well optimized to take advantage of AVX512 as the 3d particle movement benchmark, so both the increases in performance and wattage seen in that benchmark are atypical.
If they were typical, then AVX512 would be much more popular.

FWIW, I'm a big fan of wide CPU vector instructions. The real reason it was disabled is probably to push people like me to buy Saphire Rapids, which I would've favored anyway for the extra FMA unit. Although I'll also be waiting to see if Zen4 brings AVX512, which some rumors have claimed (and others have contradicted).
Agreed except there's only 2 outcomes: #1 (win) or #3 (lose). The chips business is a winner-take-all market where if your product isn't the best (in efficiency, performance, whatever metric), then it can't command a price premium nor the attention of OEMs. Also the core business isn't consumer but for enterprise/datacenter market where efficiency/performance is paramount.

If #1, then everything is rosy and Intel will regain its dominance from the days of Sandy Bridge. Its chips will be fabricated internally and they get to enjoy the profits from vertical integration.

If #3, then Intel will certainly spin off or sell off its manufacturing/fabrication business very similar to AMD more than a decade ago.

The caveat is that I don't think Intel's problem right now is simply a manufacturing issue. Sure their Alder Lake is competitive but it's not superior to AMD's offerings or even measured against Apple's SOCs. Remember that unlike the last iteration (Rocket Lake), Alder Lake doesn't suffer from a mismatch in design vs. manufacturing cadence - it's arrived as expected.
I'm surprised that Hanabi is such a huge research area. Compared to bridge or poker, it seems like a far more simple game.

As a smartphone I'd also have to carry with me an Android one. As they write in their page "If you depend on proprietary mainstream mobile messenger applications, banking applications, use loyalty or travel apps, consume DRM media, or play mobile video games on your fruit or Android smartphone, then the PinePhone Pro is likely not for you."

Furthermore I'm definitely not buying a phone that heavy.
