The confidence intervals are so loose on this that,
on the one hand they can't state that 0.85 is actually less than 0.92,
on the other hand, that means they can't make much of a claim about any benefit from exercise whatsoever.
Of course Twilio requires MFA for internal access, but TOTP codes can be phished just as easily as passwords.
The outrage is not that Epson doesn't make it easy to replace the part.

The outrage is that Epson printers (might?) have a secret page counter and the printers kill themselves after a certain number of pages whether or not the ink pads still work. Even if the user replaces the ink pads, the printer will still refuse to work because the counter is used up.

This sort of behavior is unethical, user hostile, and should be criminal.
Gone are the days when a $100 processor could go toe to toe with a $360 processor. I'd say that's due to the fact that overclocking is gone and the main differentiation is number of cores, which can't be unlocked these days.
A reasonable (& previously common) defence against this was an IT-provided VPN setup, with a certificate. My old company didn't put employee endpoints on the public internet, so they couldn't be exploited without a working VPN connection. Asking victims to upload their VPN certificate isn't impossible, but raises the difficulty of the attack.
From an old comment of mine on the topic:

https://youtu.be/sKOk4Y4inVY?t=518 [1]

1. "In 1995, there was a debate at Harvard Law School – four of us discussing the future of public key encryption and its control. I was on the side, I suppose, of freedom. It’s where I try to be. With me at that debate was a man called Daniel Weitzner who now works in the White House making Internet policy for the Obama administration.

On the other side was the then Deputy Attorney General of the United States and a lawyer in private practice named Stewart Baker who had been chief council to the National Security Agency, our listeners, and who was then in private life helping businesses to deal with the listeners. He then became, later on, the deputy for policy planning in the Department of Homeland Security in the United States and has much to do with what happened in our network after 2001.

At any rate, the four of us spent two pleasant hours debating the right to encrypt and at the end there was a little dinner party at the Harvard faculty club, and at the end, after all the food had been taken away and just the port and the walnuts were left on the table, Stuart said, “All right, among us now that we are all in private, just us girls, I’ll let our hair down.”

He didn’t have much hair even then, but he let it down.

“We are not going to prosecute your client, Mr. Zimmermann," he said. “Public key encryption will become available. We fought a long, losing battle against it, but it was just a delaying tactic.” And then he looked around the room and he said, ”But nobody cares about anonymity, do they?"

And a cold chill went up my spine and I thought, all right, Stuart, and now I know you’re going to spend the next twenty years trying to eliminate anonymity in human society and I am going to try to stop you and we’ll see how it goes.

And it’s going badly. We didn’t build the net with anonymity built in. That was a mistake. Now we are paying for it." -Eben Moglen

Given how prevalent quiet aquisence is in the tech community about mass surveillance, I think the mistake is going to be anonymity, and other user rights and freedoms foundations, including crypto. We already see it happening with crypto, but please remember the real war is on computing freedom. These other things are a subset.
“It is a profoundly erroneous truism, repeated by all copy-books and by eminent people when they are making speeches, that we should cultivate the habit of thinking of what we are doing. The precise opposite is the case. Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking about them. Operations of thought are like cavalry charges in a battle — they are strictly limited in number, they require fresh horses, and must only be made at decisive moments.”

- Alfred North Whitehead
Oh, so you will need a good cracker for it.

Probably the more interesting thing about this is the treasury has pushed for Github to delete the open source repo and suspend the developers who contributed to it.

But customers don’t want that. And as technology advances and more cars can take advantage of fast chargers, people will seek them out. 9 minutes of a customers time is better than none.

Most gas stations that live on transient customers get less than 9 minutes, and they’re quite profitable.
Looks like there is a server: https://github.com/caronc/apprise-api

So you can use the Apprise API from your app and have it trigger any number of notification services, configured in the Apprise config or web UI.
Help me out. What's a "prompt engineer?" It seems like a very good title for the way we will be using AIs in the future. Many of these AIs will need just the right prompt (question?) to get the info we need. I like the title.
Everyone above is talking about income verification for employment, but worth noting is that state governments also contact services like these when reviewing applications for public assistance as well.

It won't help you building bone past ~30, sadly, I think.
It could be less about what you did on the socials and more tied to the project. Maybe it was the messaging, maybe it's the project not solving a top 3 pain.

Hard to say without context from both. There's so much that can impact it, and more often than not, a little bit of everything. Luck and timing also play a role
I think the title is misleading when in context of the article. Afaik, the subject of the article is a candy maker but the article is about Dum Dums which they sell (but afaik don't make) and since they sell it at a higher price than other companies (Sam's Club, misc amazon sellers) they're "loosing sales" to those other companies.
But was it really? The GDP of the internet and related industries was many times the size in 2005 as it was in 1998.

at this point I don't think there is a single inkjet printer manufacturer that is not highly abusive to the consumer.

buy a brother black and white laser printer and just don't print stuff in color (or better yet, try really hard to find a reason not to print things at all).
The first edition of K&R is 221 pages, so roughly double what you remember.
Why bother?

Not to mention the tech is changing so quickly that any standardization is going to cause problems with cooling, cable side, connector, amps, volts, etc. Maybe in 5-10 years things will settle.

A few years ago charging at 550 miles an hour were common, seems to be heading towards 1000 miles/hour, but that requires fancier cooling things like circulating coolant through the charging cable.

Not sure replacing 25% (by weight) of a car is worth while, could just encourage/provide incentives for more charging locations (malls, public transit gateways, businesses, etc).
I didn’t say any of that. I have no clue what they’re doing. The simple answer is that law enforcement rarely moves to prosecute with one piece of evidence, they often have multiple pieces. And they often use use one lead to find others who are involved. And if they can make it more difficult for people to continue crime, they will. There are often many factors at play.
I don't know why but I can't help but feel this role is going to exist. "Senior Prompt Engineer", "Principal Prompt Engineer", etc. The future's wild.
Good answer; thank you. (I didn't expect that detailed a response...)
I should talk to my primary care doctor. I don't really care or need to look buff or lift 300 pounds, but avoiding injury as I get older would be nice.
> Why would the extreme left have hatred of certain ethnic/racial groups? Which ones would that even be? I hope this isn’t some the left hates white people thing.

I think Asians are considered privileged (so almost as bad as whites), and there was something wrong with Israel, too.

Some people on the left said similar things when Trump won the 2016 election.
So the next big thing is...eugenics?
Physical: Anything that violates state/province labor laws, OSHA regulations, NEC handbook electrical regulations, building code violations.

Psychological leading to physical: Anything that pushes people over the edge causing them to act out in harm to themselves and/or others especially when they might not see the alternate options available to them and/or may already be suffering an unstable state of mind from external pressures.

There are a million things in this country that don't follow the democratic process such as the electoral college. But is that what you're really arguing?
Haha my goodness. Yes, if you're the state, all that is theoretically true, but the catch is of course the problem of legibility. The state is well aware of that, as you noted, but so many transactions themselves are untrackable, some because of explicit state policies (undocumented immigrants line up to purchase money orders to pay taxes a notable example of a collective and voluntary effort to overcome state obstacles that are put in place, but also the many many unbanked individuals in the country, especially those not on the payroll for various reasons). That argument absolutely works if you simply realize that a) the state is never going to be able to actually capture 100% of cash transactions and b) the state's primary goal is not recordkeeping per se but to collect its perceived share, so the greater punishment it dishes out and the more complex laws get in regards to consumer finance, the more likely that those on the cusp simply opt out of the formal system if they're in a position to do so and disappear from all that heavy enforcement measures, much of which the average consumer do not understand fully anyway.

This viewpoint issue is not limited to financial legibility of course. We do know that the underground economy, because data is only reported by authorities, is inflated or deflated for political purposes, further muddling any potential estimations. Oh, and plenty of what the IRS wish to do is just that - wishful, and only when it's convenient for the other party. You can try to regulate cash transactions domestically in a more heavy handed manner, but you're mostly going to affect those least able to afford it to begin with, and the costs involved may not be worth the effort. Oh, and US currency is commonly used abroad, including in place of native currencies in some countries. When it comes to cash, there are only estimates as to how much the government can reasonably regulate the transacting of, and the government's policies have undermined efforts to do so even when they could. Not everyone is in the cohort that posts on HN.
I was being sarcastic to OP; but your math would imply that our ancestors were 1000 IQ and every generation decreases IQ further to 0.
What you need is a C compiler, an assembler and maybe a basic linker, then you're set. It does not need to be very good either.

In a pinch, an interpreter might do.

From there, getting an OS running is relatively quick. Remember back when PCs came with nothing but BASIC and machine code?
People typed in complex machine code via that interface and ran quite complex apps.
Aren't the transaction fees higher for credit cards than for debit cards?
I guess the lines can be a bit blurry especially when the compiled code still relies heavily on dynamic dispatch, but V8 generated machine code for the target CPU, marked the page as executable, and then it would call that just generated code. I think most people would call that a JIT-compiler.

It wasn’t a very advanced compiler in the sense that it generated very inefficient machine code. But it still ran circles around a tree-walking or bytecode interpreter. Over time the compiler became more advanced and multi-tiered, but at the cost of startup time, and mobile was taking off, where memory was more scarce than on desktop. x86 or ARM code is a lot bigger than a specialized bytecode that is optimized for space efficiency. So eventually the Ignition interpreter was added. But unlike some of the other Javascript engines that started as an interpreter and later added native code generation, V8 started out generating native code and only later added a bytecode interpreter.
Not at all.

In 1998 there was 0.25 um, ie 250 nm process, now we have 5 nm process. 50x improvement.

In 1998 processors were ~100MHz, now we have 2-4GHz. 20x-40x improvement.

Modern chips are incredibly faster even on the single core. You couldn’t get anything close to modern smartphone on 1998 technology.

FWIW I believe the other-models are what have been strongly selected for, and the self-model is just an epiphenomenon arising from the relative ease of modelling one's self after having gained the ability to represent models of others' selves:

Thanks. Appreciate the additional context.

I love to read, fiction almost exclusively, and I strongly believe that the written word damn well is for everybody. Tastes will differ but why set out from the beginning by trying to exclude people? It just strikes me as snobbery and I don’t like it.

I have tried to say more on the subject but it just upsets me that this author is saying the average person is not good enough to enjoy their work.

I have more than enough material to consume already and while I was excited to find another author whose work to read, I simply won’t bother after reading the article you have linked.

For several years through some of the media and people and thoughts I have been exposed to, I had come to the belief that one should compartmentalize their feelings and respond to them individually as appropriate. X stimulus deserves X’ reaction, Y stimulus deserves Y’ reaction, don’t cross the streams etc. Recently I saw an interview with Ada Limón, the current poet laureate in the US, and she spoke about how that is simply not the way of human life and it fucking clicked for me (I believe this was nearly a throwaway statement for her, but it affected me deeply) we are feeling beings and the things interact; I am not going to waste my time on a snob at this point in my life. Might have been different if I’d read her work and found it beautiful but you got there first and I am grateful.

I agree that these devices are usually able to accomplish useful tasks, but they're still being thrown away in massive numbers. If you find a way to re-allocate or otherwise re-use these devices, more user-serviceability will be worthwhile, but that's a big 'if'.
People selling their prompts on PromptBase.com might think of themselves as prompt engineers...
fyi - some feedback on your website, in case it might be helpful.

I clicked on it first before I read your description here.

Looking at your website, I had no idea what you were doing.

I don't even see "mobile" mentioned anywhere.

The headline says "Turn your app into a link"; I skipped over "APK", and read "get a shareable link to an interactive version of your app"

Um, isn't my app already interactive?

I scrolled through the rest of the page, and still had no idea what you did.

Then I came back here, clicked on "comments", and read your description.

Which was great. Oh, you give a link to a -> mobile app -> emulator -> which can be easily tested without having to get it on an actual phone.

If you took your description here and put it on your home page, it'd be much better :-)
Part 6 is realizing the error of your ways and adding macros to stuff even more parenthesis in LISP.
Don't forget the BASIC interpreter.

The problem is that making any computer smaller than a big cabinet requires large scale integration microchips, notoriously hard to make, and potentially replace.

So it's going to be closer to PDP-7. You can do quite a lot with this sort of machine in an industrial setting.
Drafting “right to repair” legislation strikes me as tricky, but this feels like a perfect example of what it should be pushing.

Consumables like this should be standardized; if they aren’t, they should be manufactured for a guaranteed minimum period of time by their manufacturer. Maintenance should be something I can do myself, or I can take it to an independent servicer or a dealer.
The question is how many developers will fix code after AI and how many developers will grow potatoes.
> VCs don't want to be just a dumb pipe of money, competing on terms

What they want and what they are is not necessarily the same.

Plenty of VCs are just dumb pipes for money. There are exceptions.
That's why, in the US at least, overdraft fees have been banned. Allowing overdrafts and then charging exorbitant fees turned debit cards into basically just a worse credit card.
That has nothing to do with secularism and people turning to religion for a sense of belonging. That has everything to do with housing policy being bent so in favor of the rich, most American homes are built to be secluded with no real way to walk around or dine in neighborhoods.

So everyone has to go out of their way and make reasons to feel connected with their fellow man.
Hi pollilop! thanks so much for sharing \m/
What a silly article. The rate of progress toward a true artificial general intelligence (superintelligence) has been zero so far. How do you go slower than motionless? There is no scientific evidence that the approaches being pursued by OpenAI and other research organizations are getting us closer to AGI. Those who believe otherwise are essentially practicing a secular religion and making statements based on faith. "Surely the AGI will come quickly. Amen."

But regardless of AGI speculation, there may be some legitimate social reasons to limit the use of certain specific AI technologies where those are used for fraud, or privacy violation, or as weapons.
People modelled delay lines in acoustics as well as mercury. there's a story about how many clap echoes they could get stable.
The fact that you included five extra closing parenthesis is a clear indication of madness - two or three would be understandable. One is just regular old tpyoing.
Ok but you're making unsourced claims again. I'm just asking for a source. You mentioned the BSA before, and when I looked it up it didn't seem to apply.

There are people who occasionally sell expensive things for cash, and people who keep a lot of cash in safes. My claim is that those activities are legal. You have not provided a statute or regulation saying it's illegal.

(There's no way for me to reference a statute for my claim, because we write laws saying what's prohibited, not what's allowed.)
Fwiw, while I only know a bit of Kubernetes, I definitely liked myself more before I knew it. :)

Revenue is just one metric among many others like net income, debt, free cash flow…

You can have massive more revenues than your competitors but if you lose a lot of money it’s still not a good business.

I agree. The trouble with this is often you don't know that's the case until an incident happens. This happened to me in my last job, and in my current job I've detected the workload is getting dangerously high again and am trying to push back on it given I feel like it's unsafe, but I don't know that I really feel believed.

I frequently have arguments with competent mathematicians about the role of rote learning in arithmetic. I think when you move "beyond" arithmetic, you can also forget how important number recall is, in being able to manipulate numeric symbols fluently according to the rules of arithmetic.

Include base (hex, binary) and .. its getting worse.

Numeracy, numerical literacy and fluency, understanding both the symbol set, and its behaviour in rules of arithmetic, needs to be a given, to talk cogently about numbers.

Simply teaching all kids the 12x tables, and how to handle the arithmetic of change giving at a till from the specific units of coin and note available, how to run a total in their head, how to calculate % will be life skills which might literally save their job. And its foundation is recall, and rote learning.

Not everyone is heading to 3rd order differential analysis.
Consumer, commonly found inkjets are absolutely crammed with.. I was going to say "dark patterns", but it's an euphemism when your product is being rendered unusable due to a fixed number in its firmware, so maybe.. criminal? They've been doing this for more than a decade and an half, and the rationale behind the ink pads does not hold up, at least in my experience.. being an incredibly easy replacement if they ever were a problem, you still have to get it officially serviced to have the page count reset, at an hefty price from what I recall. You also cannot use the scanner if it has one when the counter hits the limit. Luckily, there exist programs that give you ownership of the machine back, one of which I recall being named antipampers, that you can find un-demoed online too, and it sure came in handy all the times I had to resort to it for myself and others. Don't buy these printers.
Pretty sure resistance training is the only intervention know to reverse osteoporosis.

If a prescription can allow you to lift heavier, safely, it would stand to reason bone growth would follow.
Well argued. Lots of things factored in.
Not weird at all. Tons of people browse, buy and collect old books.

Some for the content. Some for the vintage look and feel.

I thoroughly enjoy reading old magazines and such with local info. For example there was a trade publication called The Black Diamond that has all kinds of info on eastern kentucky coalfields and the towns and camps around them.

I gave my wife an old pocket book on how a wife should behave (as a joke, of course) but it truly is an interesting read to see what was considered "appropriate" 100 years ago.
HP did the same with their CD writers in the late 1990's. They would only write a certain number of CDs and then would fail. Reflashing the ROM counter would fix the issue.
Glad to hear it. The three wolves shirt hasn't been printed in a while (COVID killed team sports). It makes me chuckle a kid out there is wearing a shirt from a TCU on a ND reservation. We must be big time.
Utah was a slave state. They might not have joined the Confederacy, but Brigham Young as governor publicly advocated in favor of slavery.
There are clearly quite a few other differences - but this is one of the reasons I love PHP... a completely sane approach to parenthesis quantity as well as whitespace sensitivity. (It is occasionally whitespace sensitive but only in the places you really want it to be).

Also, I think it's a pretty sane comparison language for Python - except with more structure * ducks *.
