I must be lucky then because I have lot of Zigbee and Zwave devices all running Transmitting to Nortek GoControl USB stick attached to a rPI running Home Assistant.

I have several vendors of both Zwave and Zigbee Sensors, HVAC thermostat, Bulbs, Switches, etc.. All of them play nice with each other, and FAR FAR simpler to setup than WiFi which often requires the use of some weird mobile app, and play hopsotch with the networks..

Zigbee I just pair them to the GoControl and it is done

hell I even bought some no name used Door Sensors off ebay that were Zigbee, I mainly use them for Temp monitoring in various places.. They had no problem connecting to my network either
It's super doable, especially if you store your root in a HDD partition. Using an USB flash drive would be the same as relying on a MicroSD, not the ideal for 24/7/365 usage
There are VPS/VM/cloud selection galore, DNS-over-HTTPS, private Signal Server, ownCloud, Tailscale, IPFS, and the fading Tor network to choose from (or use all of them).

Until these are outlawed, we would be consider good netizen to use them … until they say otherwise.
It took me a moment to figure out that with an appropriate case (ie. one that let me snap or strap a phone to the back and connect with USB), this would appear to work as an entirely functional e-reader, rather than only as a satellite display and input device.

Alternatively, you could possibly tether it with Bluetooth LTE, and skip the case, keeping the phone in your pocket.

Whether connected via USB or BT, it would make it an 'upgradable' ereader in a sense, by swapping out the phone it is tethered to.
The full title, which is too long for HN's limit, is "Incidence of inpatient cases with mental disorders due to use of cannabinoids in Germany: a nationwide evaluation | European Journal of Public Health | Oxford Academic".

Drugs should be legal, but there's a strong reluctance among some drug users to examine the potential for harm that some drugs pose to some people.

By and large, no.

That's not to say that those sites are not generated programmatically--without a doubt, most of them are--but not by a cutting edge transformer model. The fact is, generating words has never been the bottleneck for blackhat SEO types. Generally, those sites are generating their content through some kind of scraping, or in rarer cases, paying pennies for nonsense articles. The page itself is structured for search (targeted H1s, metadata, etc.) and some kind of private blog network is used to create a pyramid of backlinks.
This happened with the introduction of power tools to set building in Hollywood back in the day - literally this same question.

People just built bigger sets, and smaller productions became financially feasible. Ended up creating demand, not reducing it.
Gaslighting works. The foundation of western culture is the greeks right? Because the greeks didnt get their knowledge from Kemet (egypt) before burning the library of alexandria right? I mean yeah the library got burnt but im sure there wasnt much in there right?

And the maya... they had their thousands of books reduced to three. But we know about their culture because of cortez's descriptions right? They were awful bloodthirsty savages right? The three books left from their culture must have perfectly summed it up right?

Reality is built on gaslighting at a point
IIRC they thought it would be intuitive to have left-click "place the cursor", just like a word processor. That meant "select object" had to go somewhere else, and ended up on RMB.
This is a huge help as a quick start on this subject. Thanks a lot.

Question: so if I want to host a web application at hosting provider X, and I have my own ASN and want to use my own IP addresses - I assume then that the hosting provider needs to "support BGP"? Is that accurate?
Ish? I wrote some stuff up here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30182591

When I worked at GCP it was all manually updated as well so we could add a sentence about what was actually affected. In any sufficiently large system it's hard to indicate exactly what's broken/how to work around it, so it was just easier to `/status <system> <color> <reason for status>`.
I shouldn’t have mentioned pseudonymization, that wasn’t my point. It doesn’t change the fact that the law is vague and to some degree contradicts itself, suggesting that data can be anonymous. There is a real and actual overlap between anonymized data and personally identifiable data. The way the GDPR is written, it would be extremely difficult to prosecute someone for breach of data they had taken best practice steps to anonymize. The law wasn’t written to handle ML based de-anonymization. It also doesn’t help here that if you Google PII, the hundreds and hundreds of examples are things like name and address, nothing remotely close to anonymous yet identifiable.
> That is exactly the barrier Ada needs to overcome

No, this is the barrier people need to overcome. Readable is good.
1553D is a quite confusing case though.

On the AlphaCode Attention Visualization website [1], the Accepted code shown for 1553D is a O(n^2) Python one, which is supposed to be TLE. It correctly implements a two-pointer solution, but failed to "realize" that list.pop(0) is O(n) in Python. I'm not sure how it passed.

> passing the work along to your hapless users.

Is it really fair to your users to presume the are clueless? Is it a good idea to take all decisions from them, and rob them of the ability to become a designer?

I have a suspicion that this is a self-fulfilling prophecy: take away agency, and you'll end up with a demographic which never wanted any.
Works again for me here in Germany.
Yes, sure. Don't do that. :)

If you're going to test that way, you want to have your own staging environment, distinct from other developers', just like you don't want two different people's unit tests writing to the same test data as they run their tests (unless that kind of race condition is exactly what you're testing, of course).
what is the ratio between dynamic and static content amongst say the
top100 web sites on the web? Can we say 0% static pages? [yes, i accept
Dean Gaudet's point that webpages can be split up into dynamic and static
parts, probably that will be the future.]

This is delightful
Computer Modern looks terrible on computers (ironically!). It's only tolerable on relatively high-DPI printed documents which are capable of rendering the intricate, narrow parts of the legends. I wish people would stop using it for digitally distributed PDFs.
Am I the only one who still has yet to understand the value proposition of a smart home [outside wifi + sonos]?

The trade off isn't a clear win to me for me to automate everything else. If it was I would try a raspberry pi set up.
As I recall, he did mathematics first and performed very well at it but, despite the efforts of the academics who knew him to convince him to become a mathematician, he had to go to get a practical qualification (something in computer science I guess) and then return to Singapore to be prime minister. But that story does come from the maths department so is likely exaggerated a little.
Not sure if you're being humorous but just in case, it means the 'making of a sigh' as in 'generating something new' rather than a 'group of people'. As a joke, it works for my generation. The older I get the more I sigh and these days it has a lot to do with cookie banners. But that's another matter.
There is mention during this podcast.

For anyone who is as confused as I was. It looks like ReasonML because it has the same roots: https://ersin-akinci.medium.com/confused-about-rescript-resc...
Agreed, which is why user studies are (or should still be) a thing. You can't just add telemetry and hope A/B testing will surface the real struggles people have with your products. Likewise, you can't remove the 1% case of "restore backup after critical failure" feature because it's used rarely. It'd be like removing seatbelts from cars or fire extinguishers from kitchens.
I don't want to be rude, but if you're going to treat us like idiots, keep your bs propaganda to yourself.

Sometimes I wonder if people like you really believe their own lies to sleep better at night.
That plus a push button "slow down a little, or speed up a little" make a big difference on long trips.
No numbers whatsoever. Kind of a useless article
As the maintainer of a moderately popular Minecraft mod, I deal with “ratted” versions all the time. They are often obfuscated with popular free tools that can be reversed, and they always seem to use Discord webhooks that can be instantly deleted. I’ve seen hundreds, and they never seem to evolve in their methods, thought there have been some really nasty ones.
Something that I've felt and heard some people on youtube verbalize: we miss side channel stimulation. Holding a book, folding pages, the texture, the smell.

I wanted pdf to improve my reading but very very often is stalls, even on networkless tablets.
The norm is that you pay regularly occurring tribute until such time as you feel you probably don't have to anymore. But there's no norm of surrendering control; that's a conquest, not a tribute.
So "Q: how do you handle resolver loops?" is "A: you handle them."?

I mean, probably true and accurate for many things. But if so that's not really a standard for how to handle it. It just means that, to be compliant, you need to figure it out and doing something about it.
I just built my first LiveView app in anger last month. I don't really what you mean, though.

If it helps, I built my app the same way I would have built a Rails app:

1. Create a migration and some files to map DB tables back to my app

2. Create views and wire them up to the database

The automagic was 80% of the automagic in Rails. LiveView isn't giving me automagic, exactly, it gives me a way to interact with the browser.

One reason I may not understand what you're saying is: I didn't design my application architecture. I started with a small part and just built the rest incrementally.

You can do both! I run HA for the web gui, but I have a few shell scripts for more automated things. Actually, now that I'm looking at them, they call to an HA api to make changes. So you could run HA to provide a web API for things and script around that?
One Punch Man includes tons of close fights, however. It's just none of them involve Saitama.
The difference is in how the regular path (exercised most of the time) vs an edge case when there is a conflict (typically in larger clusters with a pathological access pattern) works. With TrueTime, the latency is always 7ms and no issues in the pathological cases. With HLC, the latency is lower in most cases, but high in the pathological cases (when it can be 500ms), but these should not matter for many use cases.
Just a heads up - strength is not a single metric. There is tensile (pulling), compression, and shear (sliding) strength. There's also Young's modulus (how much something stretches), fatigue limits (steel can work perpetually with deformations under a certain threshold).

There's also specific strength (strength per kg) vs strength per volume and strength per dollar.

Steel also comes in lots of different flavors, with very different (orders of magnitude) strengths.
In the same day the FBI suggests burner phones for the Olympics, I can only hope the exemption is refused.
No, I'm European and use a pixel phone with all data sharing enabled. I also enabled facial recognition in Google photos last time I was in the USA. I also share all my exercise data with Google, including heart rate via Google fit. I block most ads, except for Google ads and analytics. I always click on "accept all" when I get cookie and GDPR forms. My Google Drive is full of documents like scans of my passport, ESTA requests and some financial documents. I also have zero of the Google account privacy options enabled.

I'm also a local guide on Google Maps with a real photo, and my real name on the profile.
The article mentions that it's melamine, which we currently find in Magic Erasers. It isn't recyclable or biodegradable, but seems to be non-toxic enough to be a regular fixture in the household cleaning arsenal.

It would be far better to use it as (long-lived) building material than as a sponge that quickly degrades and gets rinsed down the drain.

You can use DBus to call a remote procedure and pass the path of a temp file where the real data is.

(You can pass actual file descriptors too.)

That said DBus is pretty fast. Basically somewhere around 25-30% of TCP.

This is technology that simply didn't exist in any form 2 years ago. For no amount of money could you buy a program that did what this one does. Having been watching the growth of Transformer-based models for a couple years now really has hammered home that just as soon as we figure out how an AI can do X, X is no longer AI, or at least no longer impressive. How this happens is with comments like yours, and I'd really like to push back against it for once.
Also 5 years? So assuming that we have all of the future ahead of us, to think that we only have 5 years left of being the top in programming competitions seems like it's somehow important and shouldn't be dismissed with "I don't think it's quite as impressive as you make it out to be."
Yeah. After an expensive legal defense, maybe with a bunch of expensive appeals, you'd be either wrong, poor, and in jail or right, poor, and not in jail.
Early animal evolution revealed by chromosome ‘tectonics’
I think it is worth mentioning this article isn't labeling everyone as a conspiracy theorist.

"When we talk about grand conspiracy theories, we mean the claim that there exists a secret plot between a large number of powerful people or organizations, usually an entire industry or many large governments, to consistently deceive us in order to reach an often evil goal."

In specific the article references QAnon and the ideas disiminated by the group.
I wonder if this is due to the attention economy with mobile devices. Pure speculation, but since we already associate a lot of other activities with a mobile devices, we may have a hard time isolating the activity and focus.
We are talking about crypto here. "safe return" is relative. There are risks and they compensate you 8.75%-20% for those risks.
...but only expose some of the settings, forcing users to go digging through the archeological pit that are older settings interfaces, because windows somehow things the settings they themselves added previously are pointless.

Then, ideally, spend a decade or more to partially and inconsistently replace just a few settings but not all, because somehow that makes sense, and at least that way users are encouraged to each go on their own little archeological dig?

Best of all, the new settings look prettier, but aren't always anymore usable, so it's not even really an upgrade.
Not many places I have worked for allowed for this to be automatic. A lot of it was so they could provide a coherent explanation as to what the current state of internal attention was directed at vs what everyone can plainly see.
I would argue that we figured this out over 50 years ago but oddly enough some people still hold onto the idea.
I don't recall any point, at least in my region: Bay Area, CA, when people universally complied with these closures. I think OP's point is: regardless of whether things were ordered closed, enough people were out and about horsing around, ignoring the closures, that nothing was effectively closed.

There was no real lockdown in the USA, if you go beyond just looking at the mandates and take into account people's actual behavior. So I'm not sure how they review effects of a lockdown that never happened.
Nope, but I actually want to solve problems rather than start drama, which is why I blame the mis-allocation of public resources towards providing upper middle class with food from food banks.

If you're looking for problems, blame is easy to throw around. If you're looking for solutions you have to start with the processes that can be held accountable and changed. You can wish all you want, but your moral judgement isn't going to change the actions of people you don't know.

What _will_ work however is demanding that public resources are allocated appropriately. That's because the government works for us, but that person you want to denigrate owes you nothing.
A look at the source code, and I'm not entirely sure how this thing is supposed to work at all.

It looks like it's back up now, can anyone confirm?
I can't imagine the status page is mentioned anywhere in the contracts. I would think that the only language that is included is that it's the customers responsibility to track and notify the vendor (Github) about any downtime, and to do that within 48 hours of the downtime having occured. And only then will the customer be eligible for compensation, probably in the form of free service credits.

My personal take is that this wording is the reason you see so few public status pages in general, especially ones with automatic and minute-by-minute status history. Better to put it on the customer to have accurate monitoring in place, which most people simply won't have.
> what are the reasons to be a software engineer without much ML knowledge in 2022.

I'm not quite sure what you're asking, but my reason is that I do not enjoy working on/with ML. I'd personally rather quit the industry.

But I work in embedded/driver development. I do not worry about ML models replacing me yet, but if I were just gluing together API calls I would be a bit worried and try to specialize.
Certainly not. The very first versions of Protobuf (years before I got involved) were obviously just a quick hack thrown together to get a job done. Everything that seems intrinsic to Protobufs today (or even in 2005) had actually been built up incrementally over several years. E.g., the first versions did not involve code generation. Instead, there was a class that would build messages with the caller manually specifying tag numbers and associated values. This class was called "ProtocolBuffer", which actually made sense as a name for that class. The "buffer" part of the name has long since lost its meaning when talking about the overall product.

The creators (Jeff and Sanjay, two of the most-senior and most-prolific engineers at Google) were fully aware that some of the choices weren't the best, e.g. "varint" format for variable-width integer encoding is simple but not particularly well-designed from a performance perspective. They knew this, but it wasn't worth optimizing at that moment. Now it's way too late to change.

But that's OK. Systems that evolved often have such warts, yet function much better overall than systems which are carefully designed, because systems which evolved will naturally prioritize the design decisions that are actually important to get stuff done. If you sit down and try to design the perfect system in isolation, no matter how smart you are, you will inevitably spend a lot of effort on some features that don't matter, and not spend enough time on some that do. Protobuf is not an ideal design but at this point it has had so much effort put into making it practical that it's hard for anything else to catch up.

(Disclosures: I wrote Protobuf v2 and did the first open source release. I also wrote Cap'n Proto, a "better" design which turns out to be less practical in most use cases because it lacks the ecosystem breadth of Protobuf. I am also an early, small investor in buf.)
Ah, dang, that's on me, I forgot the earlier talk discussed EPYC chips too.
Yeah, I don’t think anybody except thr OP has ever complained about Dune not feeling visually weighty and powerful, so it almost comes off as a disingenuous criticism of the film. OP is comparing stills from two movies and essentially pointing out that one is obviously digitally color-graded and the other is obviously filmed on celluloid and not color-graded. The difference is obvious in a side-by-side comparison. However, if you actually watch Dune beginning to end, your brain accepts the color palette as part of the visual language, you don’t even notice it.
I don't know if it's possible, but if you want a windows experience you might want to try cinnamon. If you're feeling lucky and don't mind a bit of customization, XFCE can do it too.
Yes, and very much like it when quickly selecting from a scope of valid selections.

This is not that. It is all A with no I.
That this article exists it a manifest of his failed OpSec... if you are a hacker and you are popular for it, you aren't doing a good job.
I immediately bounced off Waze because of all the advertising strewn throughout it, and the couple times I've re-checked over the past few years were all as bad. It's incredibly intrusive and disruptive, I have no idea why people use it nowadays.
NK's capabilities are vastly overblown. Calling it a "bear" is part of their disinformation strategy, just like Russia.

You're amplifying their propaganda.
If a Weapon Didn’t Cause Havana Syndrome, What Did?
The other day I read a (possibly wrong, fictional, or dramatized) account of some private group hacking Belorussian railways to impede Russian military logistics.

I'm sure this is not new, but to me it is a fascinating concept: the modern era equivalent of Partisan soldiers, conducting cyber warfare in their jammies.
And, to go a step further:

At least according to what I have read, before "bad" ads existed, the overall advertising budget of the corporate sector was roughly the same as it is now. This means that ad-supported business models were just as viable without all this crap.

The problem is that the tracking and whatnot is perceived to increase value, so the ad spending shifted to prefer the more invasive and "targeted" types of ads. But if we outlawed invasive, targeted ads and the tracking required to generate them...yes, there would be a certain amount of redistribution of ad spend, but overall, it doesn't seem like it would actually dry up and blow away.

So there's no good reason to think that getting rid of the really bad stuff would reduce the overall amount of ad-supported content out there.
