> more so when source code isn't even needed, contrary to what many FOSS advocates think

Source code isn’t always needed, it just makes the process simpler and quicker. There’s way more old devices that people would like to continue to use than there are hackers with the time and skills to reverse engineer them! For example, I’ve been lurking on the Magic Lantern forums (alternative firmware for canon dslrs) and the time it takes to port the software to a new camera model is counted in years…

To reduce e-waste I think companies should be obliged to release the source code to their devices when they stop supporting them (and if they’re afraid of releasing trade secrets—they’ll just have to keep supporting them longer!).
It's neither OK, nor not OK. it's just what's inevitably bound to happen. Even borderline magic technology like Dall-E, Stable Diffusion etc. will become commonplace over time (and it happens extra quickly with digital technology). Ethics committees and other such bodies are largely pissing in the wind with this sort of stuff, in my view.
As an EV owner, I would say you either need access to a commercial charger (e.g. at work) or be able to charge at home. But either of those alternatives would be fine by itself.

I don't charge at home, but do most of my charging in the parking garage at work. This is not a fast charger (~2kW), but is wholly sufficient because I just plug it in in the morning. Alternatively, you could charge at home and not having access to any other charging would also be fine. The home charger doesn't even need to be good, because you can just leave it in overnight and even for a slow charge this will fill up aroun d 200km. The only time I actually use a "supercharger" location is for road trips.

The two most common qualms I hear from prospective EV buyers is range anxiety and time to charge. None of these are real issues for me. A full battery anyway lasts for around 400km, which is either 2 weeks of driving to work for me, or ~4 hours of roadtrip driving. After 4 hours of driving on the highway, I have no problems waiting 20min at a supercharger while I get food. Usually, the charger is actually too fast for me in this case.
The wake word is generally processed locally but anything subsequent is usually sent to cloud
5G SA networks are only becoming more common in the past year. 5G NSA does not benefit from the same enhanced privacy. At the same time SA is starting to get deployed legacy networks are being shut down. One of the reasons it took so long was necessity for user equipment to support NR carrier aggregation, and we're there now.

But we are derailing. All the slides you've linked acknowledge the attempts made in 5G to improve privacy and most of the practical attacks rely on implementation mistakes or downgrade attacks (which should be less possible as legacy networks disappear). I originally responded on the topic to note that for the first time on a global standard there was an attempt to encrypt subscriber identifying data. Earlier standards made no such attempt and were broken in other ways. (For example GSM had two replaced cracked/backdoored encryption standards A5/1 and A5/2 which were replaced by A5/3 and the standard never made any attempt to authenticate towers)
"two-by-four" is used colloquially in the UK for stuff with that approximate cross section, but wood is generally sold with millimetre measurements.
I feel this, and I love programming for the web. I had to quit doing it professionally and focus on coding for myself again in order to stop feeling this way. Now I love my programming work again! Good luck!
> Sr Research Scientist at Google. Opinions are my own (she/her)

So, just the ramblings of a random person on the internet. Nothing to see here.

She may work in the field, but that's just her opinion, not some technical insight, and she is not talking in the name of her company. Her opinion is as good as mine, or yours, or the guy I met at the bar last night. I fact, I think it is a bit disingenuous for her to mention her employer in her Twitter profile, it may get her in trouble.

Now, if Google follows up, it may have some value.
Also imperial units can be divided into quarters and thirds using whole numbers.
The trade off is that even legitimate mail that you are actively expecting (like an account confirmation or password reset mail) will be delayed by however long the sending server's retry interval is.

You also either need to apply the greylisting to some larger IP range (rspamd e.g. apparently uses /19 by default for IPv4) or otherwise specially handle some of the bigger mail providers, because some of them rotate through their servers between retries, so you could be in for a quite a long wait if you do per-individual-IP greylisting.

The biggest culprit I noticed this with was Amazon SES – a former mail provider of mine used per-individual-IP, non-configurable greylisting, and any mail sent through Amazon (which isn't just Amazon itself – quite a few companies are using Amazon SES for transactional mail and suchlike) would consequently almost always arrive several hours late (however randomly long it would take Amazon to finally re-use an IP during a subsequent retry attempt).

Even more infuriating, my mail provider's support would then claim that it wasn't their fault and they didn't know anything about any supposed greylisting.
The fact A-series has a sqrt(2) radio is obviously neat on its own, but does it save material, or have much benefit in general in practice?

My (very limited) experience in printing seems to be

1) they still trim tons of bleed regardless;

2) the fact you can cut A3 into two A4 etc. is great, but doesn't really matter when 99% of the printing paper will be just one size (A4) anyway?

3) Lots of magazines and books use non-standard sizes.

Disclaimer: I'm from a metric country. This is a genuine question, not in anyway trying to make excuses for The US' letter size or what not.
Despite Nim having RAII of a sort, one thing I love is “defer”, because it lets me get the same semantic behaviour from bound C functions. Handy!
It keeps saying there's a problem with the server, so a bit disappointing. But a lot of people tells that it's a fun game so I will try on my desktop! Thanks for this submission :)
It cut spam tremendeously for me, but that's on an email address I've used and published openly since early 2000s.

Still, I've given up on it since plenty of email senders are not standard-abiding (they fail to retry), and I've kept losing email. I only caved in in the last 12 months after 15+ years of doing graylisting.
This all applies to London Oyster, too.

While there's an equivalent size, those are (legally speaking) sold by the mm.

For example: https://www.builderdepot.co.uk/timber-sheets/carcassing-timb...

Note the listing is primarily in mm with the imperial measure along side.

So of course the actual size is still equivalent to the old imperial size because of the history, from a legal perspective it's metric.
The article makes these 2 contradictory claims:

> I can tell you now it is precisely 210mm by 297mm

> So the only ratio that has this important property is the square root of 2, famously – and ironically in this case – not a ratio

I suspect either:

- A4 paper is not precisely 210x297 mm, or

- the precision of the ratio has been sacrificed in order to allow integer numbers; but if we're willing to make that sacrifice, why not round up to 212x300 mm? and then we can have the nice round number that the classmate wanted in the first place, with a bonus that both dimensions are even-numbered so can be halved with mm-graduated rulers.

They actually do end up banning each other's endpoints (specific IP addresses, not entire ranges) from time to time. --Even the big companies aren't able to prevent their services from being used for spam even though they shut it down as quickly as they can. And usually the blocks are due to the blacklists like SpamHaus, rather than the email providers explicitly blocking competitors' endpoints.
They just host your servers, not own your servers. Check [0].

They could give you recommendations, but they cannot stop you from killing yourself.

> It really doesn't matter and there is little difference in that event or whatever the security researcher and I meant.

It does matter. If you setup an unprotected server on AWS and someone hacked it. It is your fault, not AWS.

Beautiful! One more thing to add re A4 vs letter size: A4 is also a better approximation of the 'golden ratio', so supposedly more aesthetically pleasing (though neither is a particularly good approximation, which shouldn't surprise since A4 is an approximation of sqrt(2) not (1+sqrt(5))/2).
Is it shocking that the number of hours in a day or months in a year is not divisible by 10?

Doesn't it make sense for some things to divide by 3 and 4, like a year, so that a season is 3 months long, instead of 2.5 months long (as in the old 10-month year system, ending in December)?

Does it not make sense to use a human scale for certain things, like outdoor weather (as opposed to say, temperatures inside of machinery):

In Fahrenheit: 0: very cold to people; 100: very hot to people.

In Celsius: 0: not that cold; 100: I died 50 degrees ago.

The metric system seems to me to be forced onto things where it does not fit, when in fact it's fine to use more than one system when contextually appropriate.

After all, none of us think it weird to use bases 2, 10, or 16 for different things on our computers.
Out of curiosity,

a) what heuristic are you using to determine that power consumption will be 25% of the power supply sizing, and

b) (less earnestly) how is 6W 25% of 12W?
The streets in my neighbourhood have plenty of parked vehicles with extension cords running out to them. The cords are there to power block heaters, not to charge EVs. Nevertheless, that would at least be one option for slow charging.
I don't want to live in your monstrous notion of a surveillance utopia.
The UK is far closer to metric and will be even more so shortly, for anyone unaware most kids in the UK aren't even taught imperial units at school any more. There really are only vestigial units left; feet / inches for human height (but not for buildings for example), pints for liquids that are drunk (but not for hot water tanks for example), stone for human weight (but not for boxed items), etc. And for places like N. Ireland it's even less so, milk is sold in litres, etc because of the proximity to (Ro) Ireland (which now has its speed limits in km/h for example).
Daily variable prices are around €1 per kWh, longer term (usually 3 or 6 months) variable between .7 and .8. Considering the current market expect it to rise more.

Do note: you get quite a lot back in tax returns which are calculated at payment at the end of the month, semester or year depending on the contract type. In most countries these are already deducted in the kWh price so there is a discrepancy there comparing for instance Germany with the Netherlands. Expect around €0.5 to €0.7 depending on the contract in the end.
I'm a photography hobbyist, definitely prefer monochrome to color.
Nope, won't call it an improvement.
And obviously we naturally see in color, so monochrome means deliberately deleting some informations.

But that's how I usually take photographs. I don't care about color, only some very basic elements like light, shadow, shapes, texture, patterns etc. In some (if not a lot) cases, monochrome amplifies those elements. Personally, it actually simplifies my workflow. As long as there's sufficient light and shadows, I can start taking pictures without thinking if the color pallete of the scene is overall interesting or boring. It's rarely my intention to capture the scene as objectively accurate as it is.

You may prefer to "see" in color. That's perfectly fine.
Combined walking- and biking-paths are the norm here in Sweden. Granted maybe we don't have enough big cities for it to be a problem, but Ive never really heard complaints about it. These "roads" are generally fairly wide, so its not really a problem with 4 "lanes": pedestrians and bikes going each direction.
If you are a health young male then it is probably safe but it is not safe for some people (people with other medications, liver problems etc.).

For example, someone taking immunosuppressants due to organ transplant may have treatment failure which can lead to transplant rejection. This is the reason why it is the prescription only medicine and is prescribed only after assessing the patient.

Those other benefits are minor compared to potential harm.
A1 should be ≈1m for it to be elegant.
The question is whether throwing money at the problem is the way to solve it.

I remember Damon Sicore's stint at the WMF. He'd been VPE for six years at Mozilla and then came to the WMF. He ended up working all of eleven months for Wikimedia. When he left he was given $100,000 in severance pay, for a total compensation of $292,258 for less than a year's work.

He was subsequently blamed for the Knowledge Engine fiasco that led to Lila Tretikov's demise.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge_Engine_(search_engin...

Lila herself came in and was paid 1.75 times as much as Sue Gardner had been getting. That did not turn out so well either.

Similarly in Britain, typical notebooks (especially at school) use the B sizes. I think it's probably common across Europe.

It means you can paste an A5 sheet handed out by the teacher into your B5 notebook, leaving a reasonable margin around it. Or you can fold an A4 sheet in half, and paste that in.
Awesome thanks, I wasn't on a machine to play around with it at the time.
Almost everywhere on earth mixes metric with some other system.

Some places even mix metric, imperial, and some traditional pre-imperial system.
The USA 600MHz band is a good example of 5G on the very opposite of mmW frequencies.
It saves a lot of resources on the supply side, not on the consumption side. So it does lead to lower prices for consumers, just indirectly.
I gotta say I also wonder about the effect of it. I hate assembling their furniture and the only thing I really care about is the quality and longevity. Which often means that we don't get IKEA products, because their good quality products are often more expensive than their competition.

About the only reason we ever get IKEA furniture is because of how it's delivered. We have two 140cm wide beds so that we have plenty of space for co-sleeping with the offspring (this is semi-normal in Scandinavia), and the offspring also has IKEA beds. Why? Well because IKEA was the only company that delivered beds disassembled in a way that made it possible for us to get them upstairs. We talked with some of the neighbours, and, only one couple managed to get a 140cm wide bed upstairs, and they did it, by disassembling half the stair case and break down half a wall. Now I have no idea why IKEA is the only company that delivers a mattress that is rolled up and without air and bed frames that aren't already assembled around here, but that's just how it is. So it was either IKEA or a ton of trouble.
The problem with bells is that people tend to act very unpredictable; you never know whether they freeze or jump left or right.
There are non government regulatory bodies. Underwriters Laboratories comes to mind.
This is such an odd dogmatic generalization. There's plenty of business cases where e.g. SHAP is enough for explainability and having a higher accuracy is important.
A0 = 0 folds of 1m². A1 = 1 fold, ...

Though maybe we could have A3.1 Gen 2x2 for thick blue paper with glossy texture folded 4 times but 2 of those folds weren't down the middle.
How do you explain that it has 2 billion user records?

> And the "cabinet" means hosting cabinets (steel frames holding the machines).

This sounds totally implausible, given:

> there's another DB in the Oracle server we're in, it's called "cabinet cloud" and it's 34GB in total

Why would you name a database after the kind of furniture housing your computers?
Not much of a preference there but I have weak feeling that Lisps are the best choice for customisation. Like, what other language has something like defadvice?
FP16 AI workloads are very important to AMD and Nvidia (AMD MI250X and Nvidia A100/H100 were really designed for this), and yet Tesla leapfrogged them with a more than 2x reduction in die area, and more features (eg. out of order exec). This is what's impressive. AMD, Nvidia, and even Intel, should have been leading this, but they weren't. Seems to be a classic innovator's dilemma.
Let me play the devil's advocate - when you have an $1T company, investing a couple million into something like this signals to investors that you have big plans for the future and have a leg up on the competition in the self-driving space.

Even if that increases the stock price by 1%, this investment pays for itself a hundred times over.
It’s like how they made yyyy-MM-dd the law in Germany for official communications. No one cared, so they changed it to make it optional when used within Germany or when there is no ambiguity a few years later :D
In that case a loud freewheel wouldn't do much either though.
>for a similar candidate in the least expensive region

Right, if you can find them. But the distribution of talent isn't random: bright ambitious people were responding to incentives to migrate to tech hubs at least up until the pandemic. People grew from intern to senior working in the industry's most respected engineering shops there, learning from the best. And that includes global talent: H1Bs are everywhere. There's a case to be made that this cohort is overrated or overpriced and you don't need them - fine. But if you want to hire them in numbers, you're going to have to pay wages that are competitive where they live.

I agree you wouldn't want to hire very junior or unimpressive candidates from the Bay Area/New York/Seattle for remote work, when you can get similar candidates for much cheaper in LCOL regions or countries. But if you're looking to hire from the top end, and your offers aren't competitive there, you're going to miss a lot of great options.
Also the term “easy” is a terrible trap for any developer to use as a word. Easy would be flipping a switch, maybe one or two easy to remember credentials tops. Something like turning on your smartphone on for the first time.

Heck, like 95% of open source fails in that regard. Hell, anything Linux fails (even though progress has been made, it falls halfway short still)
I remember seeing it in 96 or maybe 97. It blew my mind and it was my first experience with cyberpunk and a "sci-fi" movie that really clicked with me. It was the first that modeled the future the way I was seeing it from my corner of the planet. I was annoyed and angry at all the happy-go-lucky variants that were presented almost all the time, I was tired of this oppressive optimism regarding technology and this was a breath of fresh air to my young mind.

A lot of things from it made their way to The Matrix for me visually and thematically and I was so sad that the movie never got the recognition it deserved. It felt the closest it would get to something that had that negative feeling and vibe that I get whenever I watch Ghost in the Shell again. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to this black and white edition!
I am pretty sure I already watched the movie a long time ago. I can't say whether it is good or bad because I forgot the story. Maybe I 'll watch it again because I really like Keanu Reeve. But I don't think I will watch this black and white version.
Also I don't understand why it seems to be such a feat to have removed the colors from this movie ? I am not a computer graphic expert I just do some coding for fun and play with image editing software (I dabbled in the demoscene) and I don't think it is that hard to turn a picture into grayscale or is it ?

>The black-and-white knocks several million dollars off of the price tag.

Yes I bet it does ! But I genuinely don't understand why would people will watched a degraded version of a movie ?
> The fact that a liter of water has a relation with the size of the paper we use is just poetry.

It’s not that there is a relation, it’s that it’s simple. If you put 288/187 inch of water on a standard letter paper, you get exactly one cubic foot of water, but I wouldn’t say “The fact that a cubic foot of water has a relation with the size of the paper we use is just poetry”.

It also is a happy coincidence that the idea “if we cut a page in half, the two parts should have the same proportions” leads to usable paper sizes. If it weren’t, we wouldn’t have this system.

And has this ever been tried for 3D, say in storage boxes? The proportions of a box would be about 1 : 5/4 : 25/16. That’s a bit cube-ish, but doesn’t look unusable to me.
Are a lot of things still sold as “454g / 1lb” or “568ml / 1 pint” (as I recall from a decade ago)? In most metric countries those would just be “500g” and “500ml”.
My employer https://SigmaComputing.com offers public, interactive iframe embeds of dashboards for zero marginal cost. Here is an example of MMO players making a dashboard https://redd.it/lrn303. I would say Sigma is the best tool on the market for telling stories with data, but not as pretty as Tableau.
A meter is one big step. Easy to count out 10 meters
Average trip lengths in the US are only slightly longer than in the EU. Americans like to emphasize the vast emptiness of their country, but in reality a large fraction of the trips could even be done on a bicycle. I don't think that the requirement to plop down a couple of fast chargers in remote areas should stop us from replacing almost all fossil fuel cars with EVs (or, better, public transport and bicycles).
Arbitrary Code Exploits Using Hugging Face Models
I picked up a power / energy meter a couple of years ago, when we put on solar panels, and spent a good couple of weeks putting it inline to various appliances to identify peak draw or 24h draw (depending on the type of appliance).

They're about AUD$30, and highly informative devices - excellent for answering this kind of question.
Upwork. However I sent like 20-50 way to detailed 'offers' for every client which was unpaid, frustrating and boring.

Also the platform only got worse over the years in my opinion. I haven't done freelancing in a while but last time I tried I got way more competitors working for even less.

However I didn't need many gigs at a Swiss hourly rate to have a nice time in SEA
Oh, I see... Well, there is a sort of alarmingly high number of people defending what appears be a cesspool of hate and bigotry.
Right, the size cannot easily change I suppose, for how could you repair older houses/etc? Or use older building plans?

We (Canada) partially transitioned too, but didn't complete the building supplies part of it.

So food is all metric, roads, speed limits, distances, weights, yet wood is imperial, and tools are metric and imperial.

This makes sense, because with the US so close, and the largest trading partner, imperial cannot fully vanish in some repects, until they get rid of it too.
“Two by four” is a category descriptor, not a measurement. Such products do not have dimensions which equal 2 and 4 in either imperial or metric units.
I don't know to which organisations you're referring.
I have spent a whole day in search of a CSS developer job without any luck.

I wonder if it exists.
And area. It's not uncommon to see land sold by the acre or apartments by the square foot.
Something I took up a few years ago was to decrease quantity, increase quality. Have a favourite cocktail? Learn how to make it yourself, try variations, buy really high quality stuff i.e. Scotch and savour it rather than throw it down, maybe plan a meal around it. Try cooking with it whisky sauce done right can be amazing, etc.
