I just love this so much. If you're reading this Neal, thanks, it was pretty fun.
Lmao yeah I'm sure inside EVs dot com is unbiased

Tell me, did they find the same if you buy a ten year old Tesla vs a ten year old Camry? My dad bought a 1992 Miata in 2005 for $2500 and then drove it for fifteen years.

Has anyone even heard of someone buying a used Tesla?
This is exactly how I've come to think about them as well. If you get involved with something, someone might blame you.

I think that's why (bad) managers often just don't seem to make any decisions. You need to know if the feature should be like X or Y, why won't they just make a decision and tell you? It's because they instinctively understand if they can get away with not making a decision (e.g. you stop waiting and just go for one of the option, or you contact someone else to make a decision) then there's less chance they'll be blamed for stuff.
I imagine a large part of anything like this would be adaptive optics, needing to deform the mirror so the wave front on passing through the atmosphere can resolve to a tight enough focus on the target.

So just like making Astronomy pictures sharper, but the other way around.

Alas this is about the only chance I get to use my laser postgrad knowledge.

There was a thought to use lasers to power a moon base, when the dark side of The Moon is facing Earth, possible, a handy excuse I’d guess for building an energy weapon.

I'm myself doing a lot of algorithmic design but I also enjoy designing e2e performance testing frameworks in order to confirm theories I or others had on a paper. The thing is that I fell too many times into a trap without realizing that the results I was observing weren't what I thought I was measuring. So what I was hoping for is to spark a discussion around the thoughts and methodologies other people from the field use and hopefully learn something new.
well it is true that there is a central power in Rome, set up by Romans, exerting huge influence across the world. whether it's accurate to describe it as an empire is another matter

> And if you’re in the market for a luxury car would you rather have a Kia or a Tesla??

Tesla build quality[1] has nothing in common with luxury. Lucid is trying to fill the "luxury EV" gap.

Google's search is amazingly stupid as of late.

For the query "monkeypox gym" I'm getting COVID-19 results.

For the query "social network without kids" I'm getting results for social networks aimed at kids.

For the query "cakes without strawberries" I'm getting... This: https://imgur.com/a/Os1kkcP
There are reasonable lengths to dive, of which zero should not be a default case.

The fact you're even aware that there's an alternative to choose means you're already slightly informed[1]. Being a bit more informed so that you know a solution will actually work is fine. I am not suggesting you shouldn't look at alternatives. I'm saying you should look at alternatives from the perspective of the solving the problem you have rather than arguing about pointless trivia that won't ever impact you or the app you're building (like row limits).

I don’t think 70% is unreasonably high for a fully-featured agency doing everything from marketing, management, etc.

The value-add in this industry is not the model - there are plenty of beautiful women willing to take nudes in the world. The hard part is actually finding and extracting money from paying customers - cross-promoting with other models, spamming a million posts on every nsfw subreddit, having a human carefully determine how best talk to a customer and entice them into paying, etc.

Traditional porn studios of course take this farther - models just show up and act, and the studio pays for cameramen, editors, websites, marketing, promotion, distribution, etc. This is basically a smaller scale version of a porn studio, where now the actor is also the director and camera operator (although I would guess the largest accounts will have professional editors and the like) but all the other work is offloaded onto an agency.

I can easily imagine a Russian/Ukrainian model that doesn’t even speak a word of English (the traditional low-cost labour for the industry) using one of these agencies and making an order of magnitude more money after a 70% cut than they otherwise would.

The balance here is on who’s driving the value. Is the model special in some way such that they can draw large amounts of paying customers with little effort? Then they will accrue to themselves most of the profit in the industry. Otherwise it’s the people doing the marketing work that make the most money.
I've thought that too, and it's hard to believe you really could convince yourself that your level of responsibility/guilt for the outcome is significantly less in the case you choose not to intervene even when you easily could. If the lever was some distance away (and certainly if other people were just as able to reach it on time) then not running to and pulling it seem to be a less culpable choice.
that can't happen with Zig, since you can just drop your C/C++ headers and call it a day ;)

i came across this when looking for tools for reverse engineering Binary files. It seems quite interesting, hence me posting it here to read your opinions on it.
I wouldn't call software updates the "guts of the car". Also, Covid and the war in Ukraine made sure that everyone has long lead times for new cars. Funny how that was a negative point for legacy manufacturers ("see, they can't even manage their chip supply") while it is somehow a plus for Tesla ("those cars are so in demand, Tesla can't even manufacture enough", as if not being able production to meet demand is a good thing for a hardware company...).
Torrent seedboxes might also be useful, as they prioritize bandwidth and (maybe?) disk space. I'm not sure if they'd be more or less secure than the typical VPS hosting, though, and I'd default to pessimism.
Whenever you visit a web site, that's tied back to your device and your name / identity. Data brokers have browser fingerprints. You have lots of CDNs hosting content and third party cookies. You're not anonymous online anymore.

Many "fun" surveys are built to help collect data to better profile you. There are many techniques here, from asking a mixture of innocuous and profiling questions, to looking for correlations. With a few, you can extrapolate a person's age, political leanings, etc.

This is snowballing, and it's hard to predict how data collected today will be used, or what inferences will be possible. It's safer not to do a threat analysis every time, but just to click one button each time and not risk letting profilers know your value system.
We can safely assume that all companies are maximizing their margins. Ockham's Razor.

BYD isn't "willing to accept lower margin". They just can't price their cars higher or lower the cost of production.

Given Tesla's months-long waiting list for new orders and recent price hikes, they don't seem affected by competition from BYD.

If you look at revenue, in Q3 2018 Tesla and BYD were neck-to-neck with ~17.5 billion.

By Q4 2021 Tesla pulled ahead by over 50% ($53 billion vs. $30 billion).

https://seekingalpha.com/article/4486902-tesla-vs-byd-ev-sto...

So far in Tesla vs. BYD, Tesla is pulling ahead.

And don't get me wrong: BYD is doing very well in EV market, much better than Toyota or Honda, but they're not a threat to Tesla.
Yeah, not suggesting the whole practice is a front. But it would surprise me just as much if none of it was either. Seems too golden an opportunity for various bad actors for it not to be exploited. Hell, it even pays for itself.
To be fair: there have been several SEGFAULT issues opened already on the repo.

The only time I've seen a SEGFAULT in Rust was when using a really badly implemented C library wrapper.
The original soundtrack for Lemmings was a bunch of midi remakes of pop songs. With a few weeks til release they realized what the composer had turned in and the legal issues behind it and turned the project over to a different composer and just said 'fix this' basically. With such a short amount of time left original compositions were out of the question so the idea was reworked from well known pop hits to (mostly) well known out of copyright music. I say mostly because a couple on there actually WERE copyrighted pop music but seemed like they had been around much longer. 'How Much Is That Doggy in the Window' being probably the most prominent example, having been written (and a radio hit) in the 50s but people assume is just an old kids song thats been around forever.
If you use GitHub, you have your public keys available: https://GitHub.com/withinboredom.keys. Replace my username with yours or whoever.

There’s an option in sshd to run a program that should output the contents of an authorized keys file: AuthorizedKeysCommand

So you write a simple bash script or program to output authorized keys based on your own rules. If you want stronger auth, check out libnss-ato which can allow you to masquerade as root if the user is authorized. (In your authorized key script, check if the user is in your org and/or part of a certain team, if so, output their public keys, otherwise, output nothing).

I really should open source my code, but it’s literally only 5-6 lines of code, and 3 lines of configuration.
Most problems I've seen have been in the way OpenSSL is used not in OpenSSL itself. Sure OpenSSL has issues but naïve use of cryptography in the wrong way is *far* more prevalent.

What exactly is "bullshit" about the fact that there are way more Androids out there than iPhones? And how is (say) a Samsung any more "third-world junk" than an iPhone assembled in India or Brazil?
That's what every leader thought - every country has a slightly different rules - and many of them ended up quite well.
With that argument coming from the 13th Century, I'd say that the democratic nature of English has killed it. So to be more pedantic, the 'from' is optional. Not required, but neither is it wrong.
You are probably talking about autopilot, not FSD beta which is entirely different stack.

Cars that are running basic autopilot show basic autopilot visualizations.
I couldn't get past the first one because it didn't have the correct response.
> Apple is a member of the USB consortium

Apple is also a member of Khronos (and so is Microsoft btw) yet decided to push their proprietary API instead of working with open standards.

Membership in a standards organization makes just as much sense for a company competing with the standard as it does for one embracing it.
>It didn't do socket based activation at all.

Pretty sure it did actually.

>upstart's weird middleground of a "script" verb

What middleground? Upstart files werent scripts like sysvvinit they were declarative just like systemd.

I can see why red hat dumped it - they were clearly keen on "owning" PID 1 and would prefer not to depend upon ubuntus project.

It's the 7/8 person debian vote (split 50/50 and swung by one vote) that I found mystifying. It not only crowned a worse designed project burdened with a massive case of feature creep, that was weirdly unresponsive to bugs it killed off its competition.
Would it have occurred on Podman as well?
If you consciouly choose to do nothing whilst having full information about the consequences, that is still an action.
It is no secret that sustainability has been top of the agenda for the data centre industry for some time. There is an abundance of statistics on how much power the industry consumes; Carton3IT claims that data centres account for at least 12 per cent of UK electricity consumption or 41.11TWh a year!
Because they can; same reason anybody else might host it, except for Russia it's easier because you can ignore the law.
Gyrotron, not laser, as per article.

(A gyrotron doesn't seem to be a class of laser, any more than a light bulb is...)
That's true, sure, there are places in the world like China and even Australia that dwarf the efforts elsewhere, but Florida and California were both much more stringent than some other places.
Please be explicit. Do you mean something like insurance: a small amount of people has insurance but someone decided to insure even the people who haven't paid insurance?

In that case it's clear that I won't pull the lever. It's not a question of life and death, and because I am not sure whether pulling the lever helps preventing lots of damage, I won't do anything, especially because perhaps it's just a vague and abstract story you made up.
> École normale supérieure in Paris

That's a really cool name as well, like "Standard Deluxe" or so.
I did the problems under the assumption that "pulling the lever" was an act, while doing nothing was not acting. Implied legal (and moral) liabilities made a difference in my choices.
As Jeff Brzos put it: Your margin is my opportunity.
sysvinit could be debugged, at least. I tried to debug a couple of systemd edge cases with Pottering, communicating over Github Issues, but he lost interest very quickly.

To his, credit he is reactive until he decides the issue is not worth his time.

To his discredit, he made himself into a giant bottleneck. Random systemd users can not easily understand it.
Yeah well getting into ENS Ulm is already such an outstanding feat, no surprise there.
Having worn gambesons in the British summer during reenactment battles, I can't imagine wearing one in the Mediterranean sun let alone the Middle East. It gets extremely hot in there after even moderate physical exertion.
I do not understand why so many people would let the trolly destroy their fortune to save 5 random people. Why would I ever care about 5 random people?
Yep, same experience.

A large "ecosystem" is touted as a great advantage of some frameworks, but the reality is that it's mostly unmaintained low-quality libraries that could be replaced by a few lines of easier to understand code. "The Ecosystem" is about quantity over quality, all the way down. And when those unmaintained libraries break, you're also in the hook for fixing them, but it takes way more time and coordination than fixing it if it were your own code.
The problem is the responsibility. If you aren't willing to take over responsibility, it's better not to do anything. If you already have responsibility then it's a different matter.
That is really not my experience at all. Every professional smaller team I worked with "usually" had this figured out and set up.
In times of home office, no one wants to be at the office for just pressing a single button on some server.

Oh well, I guess experiences differ.
There’s only one of them that really gave me a lot of pause. 5 elderly people or one baby? Not necessarily that specific problem itself, but the Sorites paradox that is implied.

What about 5 elderly people with one day of natural life left vs one baby with an expected lifespan of 100 years? Are we trying to maximize total time of human life? What if it’s low quality time though? 1,000,000 elderly people that had one hour left to live or one baby?
This is great !

I have often wanted to study about Beauty/Facial Expressions/Emotion Display etc. and had browsed Paul Ekman's books. Given how much we judge each other (most of the time, unconsciously) based on a snap view of the Face only, i believe this is an important subject for everybody to understand. Your Qoves Studio links (in particular; their Youtube channel) seem very interesting to gain more knowledge on this subject.

Thanks for posting the links.

How to contribute to an open-source project

Oracle can also do it autonomously if you have the super duper expensive package. It finds useful indexes based on what's queried regularly, tries them out behind the scenes to see if it'd improve things, and then creates them if they'd be useful.
Thank you, likewise :-)

The western policy that lead RU to attack was the policy of doing nothing. We've seen that in 2014. In fact this was the approach the West took every single time the perpetrator was Russia. Thus it's now evident that the only working way for long-lasting peace with Russia is to make sure it's no longer capable of invading.
One of the winners says that there are no concrete applications, but that some of the tools developed ("interpolation formulas") could potentially be useful for solving differential equations and signal processing, but doesn't go into detail.

Ok, so they hired Lennaert as replacement, finally!
I took a quick look at the Playstation partners page. They require the following:

* Official company registration document, such as a Certificate of Incorporation.
* Latest Annual Return / Financial Statement.
* Copy of your entry on a commercial register (or equivalent) within your country or region.
* Passport (sole traders only).
* Your static IP address in IPv4 format
* Your private domain email address (public domains such as Gmail, Hotmail, etc. aren't accepted). Your email address must include your name.
* Your product pitch

Basically they can just decide they don't like your pitch and not allow you in.

Same for the Xbox store. You send an "application" and they may or may not accept it. At least Xbox doesn't want your product pitch beforehand. There is a "very modest one-time cost" though, no idea what's their idea of modest.

I'm really looking forward to seeing this EU ruling to extend to consoles as well.

How to Train Bert with an Academic Budget
These analogies really only go so far.

Let's do the music one: how an instrument feels (to you) is intricately linked with how well you can express yourself musically.

I guess there are two different view points here, those who think the things used to create something have no bearing on the essence of the thing that is being created and those who think that you cannot divorce the two.

Isn't that just a discussion about platonism in disguise?
It wasn't long ago that macOS started checking every app being opened with HQ first, over HTTP (not HTTPS), before it'd let you open it.
But what if in 100 years most of humanity dies, all that's left is a group of 5 survivors that took shelter in a trolley station. Then all of the sudden a trolley appears out of thin air and kills all 5 of them? You would be the man/woman that ended human race :)
I noticed I kept switching between several principles. Possibly triggered by the details of the problem. Some of the principles:

1. If you're able to act, you are already responsible for the outcome. Inaction is a choice too. There's no intrinsic moral difference between pulling the lever or not.

2. Acting from a position of ignorance is irresponsible. Better not to act than to take the risk of making the situation worse. (This contradicts #1.)

3. The person who tied these people to the track is the one who really carries the responsibility to this tragedy, not me.

All three of these are valid, and yet contradictory to some extent.

Apparently I solved philosophy at the cost of 59 lives. Not sure it was worth that sacrifice.

You don't have much point either way.

Of the top 10 ICE car makers, only VW is a serious EV player. And they are still loosing to Tesla and BYD and in China they're loosing to china-only EV brands like NIO or XPeng or SAIC.

Other than that there is almost an inverse correlation with how big the ICE business is vs. how big the EV business is.

Toyota and Honda are doing the worst, with almost no EV sales.

Stellantis and GM are also doing extremely poorly.

Ford, with 50k / year, is also nothing to write home about.

Of legacy, it's the smaller players like Hyundai / Kia / Audi / Porsche / Renault / Jaguar that did move into EVs earlier than other ICE companies.

Judging by what they've done so far (as opposed to what their PR teams say about the future), the legacy auto has not yet figure out how to make and sell EVs at volume.
True, but not so fast: small shops are also constantly trying to copy the bureaucracy, the hubris and dead weight. Eventually I expect all of them to get there.
I'm Québécois from birth (Trois Rivières). I voted in the incredibly close '95 seperation referendum. In my view, separation or sovereignty would be bad for us.

Separation is mainly predicated on the idea that Québécois are culturally distinct from the rest of Canada, and that our values would be better represented independently. We mostly speak French, and the rest of Canada is predominantly anglo (my New Brunswick Acadian mother in law would have me point out New Brunswick is officially bilingual and has many Francophones). Separatists would argue that there are substantively deeper differences, but having lived abroad in several countries over a decade and returned, any differences seem to me razor thin. We have vastly more in common than separates us. Breaking from Canada to underline these minor differences would come at a tremendous cost.

But creating a movement around identity is easy. So every now and again separatist ideas gather steam. We'll pay through the nose for a Québécois Nation and be no better off for it.

2.5€ is already the price on some Austrian highways…
My experiences for ops is all pre-2012 and with teams numbering less than 3 for the whole org. So I’m sure things have changed or gotten cheaper? I can’t see a team of 3-4 having the budget to get something that allows them to be “lazy”, especially when that budget can go towards something useful. But I guess the pandemic probably changed things there?
Same here, cultivating motivation is definitely the hardest part of the job. Academic work needs months if not years get out and have impact and, personally, I don't get to discuss my work too often with people because it's too specialized.

Agreed. Most web apps are perfectly fine and can be phenomenal, especially when compared to what we all did back in the 90's on GeoCitites.

And as you rightly point out, visit a recipe site, especially on mobile, in comparison.
