The USPS delivers mail in both urban and rural, famously, regardless of the climates of those locations. I still think EVs are a generation short of being able to be deployed in this type of "long life" fleet, and I'm not sure there is enough manufacturing capacity to build the fleet fast enough for the USPS.
Is there any use of ML to distinguish the AI generated dead internet from the real one?
You'd be surprised to know that I may or may not be the world's first intelligent toaster.
This is maybe unnecessarily harsh (but you do you).

I too am mostly here in a more spectating mode when it comes to all the VC startup brained ideas, but its not primarily people that fail, its an entire system of thought, and the money that gets poured into it; its staunch belief in technological determinism combined with highly sophisticated investment schemes and plenty of capital.

I am not going to the race to see the cars maybe crash, its enough to see the cars go round and round in circles.
Yes, though even if rust had inheritance I don't think you would have a machine translatable mapping good enough to port a game engine.

Generally for any language which in design isn't "somewhat close to C++" I don't think this would work.
There are some scummy sites that literally hijack your browser history and overwrite it with links to the current page you are on, so clicking the back arrow does nothing. This always gets under my skin as an extremely hostile dark pattern to keep me locked on their page against my will.

Has anyone experienced this obnoxious browser history hijacking in Chrome? How do they pull this off and how can we report it so it stops being exploited?
On a day where there is actually high fire risk (ie. high wind in hot weather) this system will be too late and not deliver enough retardant to make any difference. In those conditions you will have tens or hundreds of square meters of fire in within that time. Actual fire ignition will usually not be in the open away from other materials as shown in the example. It may be able to stop fires on days when conditions are mild enough to let it run for the ecosystem benefits.
I wish there was a site that uses videos hosted on Youtube, but with a better, (community curated?) reccomandation algorithm.

Kinda like reddit, but the subreddits are topic "channels" that you can watch.
Define 'similar'. It will be whatever is politically convenient.

What first will be an exception will soon become a rule.

Just wondering what the range is on those drones. If you are supposed to be covering 100's of km of bushland you will need a significant number of drones, or they will need to have high speed and long range.

Wondering if they would be better having the fire retardant dropped from some type of lighter than air craft or maybe base the drones on a lighter than air craft that can loiter in the area for a significant period, reducing the difficulty in pre placing the drones.
This is almost certainly false, I have never heard this purported and this was discussed a lot in my economics classes. It almost certainly had to do with Roe v. Wade preventing unwanted births and people being born into situations where they would not be allowed to prosper.

If you have evidence I'd be happy to evaluate it.
> That's disingenuous because you're omitting the other half of the transaction: You are choosing, voluntarily, to consume the content that they are offering on their website. The implied arrangement is that you watch the ads (at least the first five seconds until the skip button appears) in exchange for them doing all the work of collecting, hosting, and delivering that content to you.

Yet Google, like Microsoft back in the day when piracy of Windows was rampant, would rather adblock users still use their site. They have the means to make it close-to impossible to watch YouTube with an adblocker, but they chose not to.

Clearly they believe that adblock users still provide net-positive value to them.
Maybe someone will eventually take this into consideration in their design.
You might want to use a limited subset of the web, a curated list of sources or feeds. Apparently 1TB of text could be enough, just need to collect it or download it from a trusted source.
Greetings! Director of Eng here at ngrok. Figured I should say something (more of a lurker than I care to admit) since someone mentioned the recruiting side of things ;)

We haven't been bought and haven't taken any capital, but we have made some massive investments into our product: new ways of connecting, new ways of securing, reliability, etc. There are a couple announcements coming soon I don't want to spoil. We've been a quiet crew for a while!

On the recruiting side, we've got tons of openings in product engineering (junior, senior, management, PMs) and across the rest of the company. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have an interest in working with us.
Not that weird when you consider that purchasing EVs also means purchasing and deploying the infrastructure to charge them. That’s not a small operation for a service area that includes every single address in the United States of America.
This blog post being on a .de url is somewhat ironic.

The German ebook market is quite different. You can easily get DRM-free ePubs of most current books in German, most of the time only with a watermark. I don't know how large Amazon's market share is (I guess it is still very big) but you have other, viable options besides them.

If you really want to read on a Kindle (it is a very well designed piece of hardware after all, only the software is gruesome) jailbreaking it and putting koreader on it, is an option: https://github.com/koreader/koreader/releases/

But also tell the publishers whose books you wanted to buy that you would have bought from them if you got it DRM free. I can't understand why so few publishers to this.

Their margin would much bigger and Amazon's DRM is just token security. It's easily broken. Calibre does this automatically for crying out loud).
Probably a mix would make most sense. In shorter routes electric with capacity to charge during downtimes makes sense. For very long ones gas isn't bad option.
Like these officers think rationally, or even in terms of practical benefit.
We are acquiring Area 1
That would be The Million Dollar Homepage, with Zombocom a close second.
I met him once. Right after Shoemaker-Levy 9 impacted Jupiter there was an event at the Mountain View Holiday Inn where he talked about it. I'd arrived a bit early (as an attendee), and while waiting for things to kick off I snuck out for a cigarette.
Halfway through it, there was Carl (f*cking) Sagan walking across the parking lot towards me! I dropped/stubbed my cig and told him how much I was inspired by 'Cosmos' and especially by the Library of Alexandria episode/ He said yes, it was really good and that was mainly down to his wife's work. And then he signed my cheap paperback copy of 'Cosmos' and headed in to the seminar.
I'm sure he could be a dick. But that certainly wasn't all he was.
There's a big difference between surprising someone by leading them to a website that immediate shows NSFW content and putting on your resume that you previously worked for a company that published NSFW content. The latter absolutely should not be considered "NSFW" and shouldn't be considered a red flag by a potential employer.
Explain this comment to me. It seems reasonable to come to the conclusion that someone is profiting on the side from this deal. Especially given the current postmaster general. Is there some other trail of thought you think is being neglected from jumping to this conclusion?
I don't if they're saying other people shouldn't have a different take on life. I prefer to actually have a certain level of respect and care for my fellow humans. It's is dwarfed by my concern for myself and my family, but yeah I'm gonna bend down and give someone a hand if they drop something or need a push off the road or battery jump.
I'm going to ask if you've ever talked to an actual police officer, then. It's not uncommon for police to recognize people with active warrants in the car at a traffic stop. It turns out that antisocial behaviors are often correlated, and "Was speeding/swerving through the road" is a common behavior of people with warrants out. Most people speeding/swerving are having a bad day, but of people speeding/swerving, there's a much higher concentration of antisocial assholes than in an overall population sample.
The $800 was just an example number. In some cases I've asked "how much to get you to just pair-program with me using your library for four hours" then our business is concluded. It's a deal that I felt would be very low hassle -- however, I guess the supply-side didn't think so. (for reference I've been coding and consulting around open-source stack for like 20+ years). I've been on both sides of these cut-and-dry type of deals.

However, the more common scenario when consulting -- and I'm sure many are nervous about this type of play-out -- is the client drags the deal on and on and on...and argues about the price...and pays late...and has endless change requests...and is surpirse that ECRs cost money...and needs just one more meeting about $THING..and...and...and.

I've always assumed that's why we've been rejected...how can someone tell we're NOT LIKE 90% of the consulting buyers and mostly know what we're doing and have a straight-forward deal?

Would you expand on why you believe this to be true?

I don't think it's wise to focus only on money without considering other factors; however, when looking at decisions like this that don't make sense on the surface, especially when political factors are in play, money is very often going to be a driving factor.
My product (https://gitsense.com) moves most of Git's history into a Postgres database and from there, you can execute the following SQL statement:

select
commit_ym AS month,
count(distinct(author_email)) as authors,
count(distinct(commit_id)) as commits,
count(distinct(path_id)) as files,
sum(total) as churn
from
z1_commits_422 as commits,
z1_changes_422 as changes,
z1_code_churn_422 as churn
where
commits.id=changes.commit_id and
changes.code_churn_id=churn.id and
lang='java'
group by commit_ym
order by commit_ym desc
limit 12

By having most of Git's history in SQL, I can slice, dice and cross-reference code history, which is how my product works.
What about this: Take their IP. Make sure that, to them, it displays as uploaded. They can watch it. It registers natural-looking traffic. It does whatever else is necessary to satisfy them that it's on the internet (besides Google SEO; I'm not sure if that's expected). Otherwise, it doesn't exist and doesn't show for anyone else. In other words: blackhole it, shadow-block it. I feel like that has a chance of working.
Calcite is actually pretty damn fast, the overhead is surprisingly minimal.

I am using it as the backbone for my hobby project that auto-generated federated GraphQL API's:

https://github.com/GavinRay97/GraphQLCalcite

The experience has been incredibly positive and the community has been incredibly helpful & supportive. It's one of the coolest technical projects I've ever seen and has sparked my interest in query engines and relational databases.

I posted some JMH benchmarks of an app that parses a GraphQL query, converts it to Calcite relational expressions, and then executes it against an in-memory DB and it ran on the orders of milliseconds:

https://lists.apache.org/thread/hofjx628864t0kt4kk8vo4tjfrxb...

Something very similar to Calcite but much lesser-known is the "Teiid" project:

https://github.com/teiid/teiid

Highly recommend checking the code out. It's got a brilliant query optimizer/planner tailored to cross-datasource queries, a cache system, and a translator architecture that can convert a generic SQL dialect to dozens of SQL/NoSQL flavors.

Also integrates other data sources like REST API's, S3, flat files etc as queryable data sources.
The Path Social Network
Indeed, I'd assume most of them know that if you found the car and are there, it's likely that others (friends/etc) also know of the location. It's in their best interests to let you "steal" the car back and (most likely) resolve the problem for good than escalating it into more violence where it's likely to result in them not only getting in trouble for the initial theft but also the subsequent violence.
The distance between the transmitter and receiver is quite important. Signal strength is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. At some distance you are going to have problems no matter how good the filters are. The problem here is that the receiver is mobile.

Aircraft flying over C band satellite dishes (what used to use the current 5G band) used to cause interference to those dishes. In that case the problem was that the transmitter was mobile. Now the C band satellite people will have to fight interference from 5G transmitters in what remains of their band.
I was building and speccing servers to run banking applications in the mid to late 90s and this was in the days when x86 was still rubbish (or perceived to be so), so it was big Solaris boxes (E10k etc) and beefy HP PA-RISC machines.

Applications were written in C++ and COBOL, the DB was Oracle.

CPUs were expensive, disks were slow (and expensive - this is when EMC ruled!), so memory was used to boost database performance, and you could put a lot of memory in these machines (and we did). There were often 3 machines at each site, 2 production (one hot standby) and 1 test/qa machine, usually the same chassis but with lower specs (less CPU, less memory, less disk etc). The production machines were often at two close sites (10k apart) with disk replication between them over fibre in the street.

It was quite common back then for the clients to specify ridiculous projected growth, and require total resilience from the hardware. I'd spec up the machines, and they'd baulk at the price (and when you get an international bank to baulk at the price you can imagine we're talking multiple millions for hardware let alone support contracts etc). Then, following a slice of realism, they'd relax some of the requirements, and we'd get something for 1/4 of the money.

Happy days, lots of travel though.
You can as well build the site locally (e.g., on your computer) first and commit the .html files in your page repo. GitHub pages will then serve your .html files directly without having to build your site using Jekyll. This is what I used to do when hosting my site on github pages:

- locally install jekyll

- write my .md files

- run jekyll locally to see how my site looks like

- commit .md and .html files

- let github pages know what you are pushing the static files yourself
Low speed urban stop-go driving is where EVs excel versus ICE, I think?
its great for EV, its low speed, they do best in stop and go type traffic.
I think you summed it up quite well. At this moment, there does not seem to be a space between the corporate you-are-the-product mainstream and the weirdos with an agenda crowd at the edges for a person to just be, speak and think in a relatively free and neutral sense without ending up in some ulterior trap.
Just to ensure I'm understanding your analogy correctly, are you saying that because you have gotten used to the nerve damage in your fingers, it is OK to arbitrarily and non-consensually inflict nerve damage on other people, if it is for a good cause?
You'd have to use a trusted language model to get you banned information.
So, here's what's actually happening in a nutshell...

The FCC allocated a specific band for radar altimeters to transmit in. The FCC only specified rules on transmission, and the radar altimeters are 100% compliant with the FCC rules and only transmit within their assigned band.

The FAA published TSO-87C, which is the technical spec for the radar altimeters. But this also just covers transmission and performance. There's nothing in this spec about rejecting external interference. The radar altimeters are compliant with this spec as well.

The problem is on the unregulated receive side. All radio signals have some amount of bleed-over into adjacent bands due to harmonic interference. Historically, the adjacent frequencies were used for low-power satellite communication, and the manufacturers added enough filtering to protect against the harmonic interference from these low-power stations. They did not anticipate a high-power (5G) signal in those adjacent bands, and nothing in the FAA/FCC specifications protected against it either.

So it's not that the radio altimeters are "using" the adjacent bands, but the receive filtering is (in some cases) insufficient to account for the new (louder) users of the adjacent bands.
Isn't this a very norm biased idea. I think geo engineering gets too much of a bad rap. It's powerful and thus massive mistakes have and will be made, but we're only going to get better at it. Why resign ourselves. Would logging at sufficient amounts help, could we better smooth the release of water and fix this? I sort of hate the modern environmentalisms insistence that we should just throw up our hands and anything else is inherently bad.
Your view seems based on over-generalization.
It's fine to think "most porn is disrespectful", but that shouldn't lead you to conclude all porn should suffer from repressive laws or social norms.
If I use 11/8 for private network addresses because it's easier than trying to keep everything in 10/8, and then DoD starts advertising those routes on the public internet, did the DoD bungle their rollout?
Epic's launcher is one of the worst, constantly consuming resources doing who knows what in the background.
Prevalence is actually fairly high.

https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2021.6610...

"The prevalence of psychopathy in the general adult population can be estimated at 4.5%." Remember: it's much more frequent in males, where that number can be 2-3x of that, can be close to 1 in 10 in males.

"prevalence of psychopathy among university students is significantly higher than among people from the general community". I'd guess increased affluence and better childrearing will result in more university students as well.

I'd go as far as to say that "boundless affluence" and "perfect childrearing" may in fact produce even more psychopaths, not less, as it is not quite a pathology many assume. Many traits are actually more adaptive vs general population.

It's probably important to point that there is further nuance. in primary(as in born that way) psychopathy the hallmark is total absence of anxiety and remorse. In secondary (upbringing, trauma, etc) psychopathy, anxiety can often be fairly high.

You might reduce some secondary cases of psychopathy with your proposed measures, but boundless affluence will also result in higher SSRI usage to prevent unwanted anxiety or stress (the rich tend to use antidepressants more, don't have the reference handy now, but its fairly obvious the rich have fewer problems with access to mental health services), and SSRIs tend to increase some psychopathic traits (charm+boldness), which perhaps can push some borderline cases into the proper psychopathic territory: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3202964
There would also be a considerable infrastructure charge at every post office and practical considerations of being able to supply adequate materials to actually build all of the mail trucks... on top of that batteries which will degrade, especially faster as some mail vehicles will be used > 100 miles a day.

I think it's still fair at this point to think conversion of an enormous fleet of vehicles might not yet be the pragmatic choice.
This argument is weaksauce. Putting anything publicly on the internet immediately means relinquishing control of it. P2P has nothing to do with that.

"Take back control" is geared towards hosts. You can run your own tube site. That's what the slogan is talking about.

Also, peertube is no more p2p than bitchute. It uses webRTC to offload server load onto clients for popular videos, that's it.
I had to get a couple components on my car replaced recently. The dealer quoted me $6000 for the job. I had it done by a reputable shop instead for $1600.
That seems like equivocation on the word "unavoidable." There's a big difference between saying "ads are unavoidable because they are displayed on nearly every computing device you use" and "porn is unavoidable because people actively want to see it."
I can understand not switching 100% all at once, but it seems like they'd want to stick their foot in the water and try it out in some ideal areas.

As someone who lives in an area that is outside the norm (postal vehicles aren't the standard issue), it wouldn't be a good idea here - but they have to be perfect for somewhere...
That's exactly the driving pattern EVs are most efficient at
> However, Apple lost its motions for a more definite statement of Sagan's Lanham Act claim. Apple had argued that Sagan's complaint had admitted that his name was only used internally at Apple, and could not, therefore, have been "in commerce" as required by the Act. Judge Baird noted that Sagan's complaint only asserted that Apple's attorneys had stated that the name was only used internally. Finally, Judge Baird denied Apple's motion to strike Sagan's invasion of privacy count as redundant in light of the right of publicity claim. She noted that the former asserted an additional request for punitive damages, and that the other redundant elements did not prejudice the defendant in any way.

INAL so hard for me to parse this, but does this mean that some elements of the lawsuit were allowed to progress?
Right - which is an extremely narrow subset of "changing your offer during the course of a negotiation". Meanwhile it has other intent-blocking attributes for which the "deceitful" label quite justly applies.

In other words: in the Venn diagram of the two buckets - the measure of overlap is quite small.

Yes. Will it? No.

Especially for FMCW applications using homodyne transceiver architectures; like you see in most civilian radar altimeters.
The thing is though that 40% of the German gas supply comes from Russia at the moment. That means that if you can eliminate the 15% used for electricity, you've reduced the demand for Russian gas by about 38%. Put that way, reopening the newly shut nuclear plants makes a lot of sense. Refuelling and starting an existing power plant should be far quicker than building a brand new power plant or wind farm. You'll still have a lot of demand for gas from heating, but the warm winter and arrival of spring should reduce that too in the next few months.

Longer term, you are right about the need for more heat pumps to replace gas heating, and I'd also add extra insulation to that to reduce the heating needed from any source. The heat pumps can be powered by nuclear, renewables or gas depending on cost and preference.
I look forward towards the investigations about foreign interference. Should be enlightening for other countries as well.

Going to file this one in the "Amazon Drone Delivery" ideas box...
stop/go/stop/go is perfect for regenerative braking at the very least(not necessarily limited to EVs, but more common with them than ICEs). Also, on the stop portions, there would be zero emissions. I imagine the stop portions are probably a bigger overall part of the day than the go portions, at least based on how my mailman operates.
Seems to be a money thing - anyone know how much gas vs electric costs for postal vehicles?
