I picked up 4 PL adapters one day, just to see how well it worked. I could never get two of them to talk, even after plugging them into the same wall socket. This is in brand new construction.

I wasn't motivated enough to try harder, so I returned them. If I had to rely on them.

I suspect that the security threat is overrated; if they don't work there aren't any practical security issues with them.
Thanks for helping make my argument by focusing yours on 2-4 out of 16 years, or 20 if we add in the last 4 where there was a clear and sustained increase in deforestation.

I don't have any pets (unfortunately - I love dogs but I live in a carpeted flat), but if I did I'm pretty certain they wouldn't be criminals.
Arguments like this are so transparent. Do better.

Yet those measures are being circumvented, because physically you can fill the cartridge, and legally, because this physical ability requires the manufacturer to take intrusive measures which are blocked by courts/legislators.

It's hard to force the consumer to not use their product. Conversely, it's hard to force the operator of a fast charger networks to do something. We can see other BEV manufacturer following Tesla's method (e.g. Rivian) setting up their own charger network. It's not a desirable future for such important market like transportation.
some people really are just inspired by authoritarian rule

Content moderation seems to lack the transparency and culture awareness that existing jobs like journalism, lawyers/judicial, first responders, etc type public value jobs have developed over time. Maybe one day it will mature to being an honourable and socially respected job but they have a long way to go if Reddit/Twitter/FB is any indication (HN/dang on the other hand has done an amazing job).

It’s valuable no doubt but it’s also littered with petty tyrants, power hungry nerds seeking an outlet for their lack of power elsewhere, and people acting with little regard for wider impact of
their choices besides their own emotions and ideological quirks. The type of stuff that would never fly in other socially respected jobs.

I personally don’t see it as some sort of career promotion thing. But I’m sure it’s valuable to jobs that have to deal with people everyday, but don’t necessarily have any strong consequences for decisions or top down/societal oversight… like retail and low level sales jobs.
A interesting thing to explore would be to warp the stable diffusion output according to the rough 3D model of the painting (essentially an application of what the VR industry calls asynchronous reproduction).
The D&D "Deities and Demigods" supplement was published in 1980; first ep of He-Man was '83.

I can't help but wonder if that phrasing was an instance of simple alliterative coincidence or if the He-Man showrunners were tabletop nerds.
Well, the key would be to develop and deploy Homa in a DC and test in implementation at scale. If it actually ameliorates the perceived shortcomings of TCP that make nothing in TCP worth keeping as this author says, then cool. My only complain with issues like this is the cost of implementation. Someone has to pay to build a DC around it or increase the cost of maintenance for several years to a decade while supporting two completely different and incompatible networks.
Though I doubt the document was typeset (because it appears typed by a typewriter), before desktop publishing, and before typesetting computer systems, there was phototypesetting.[1] Because this is only a minor element on one page, I doubt it was phototypeset and instead merely pasted up with type tape... literally rolls of clear tape for every font with one letter on it repeated over and over in all point sizes. Lots and lots of these rolls of tape in production art areas. You cut off the letter from that roll of tape, stick it to the paste up, get the next letter from the next roll, stick it next to the first letter, find the roll for the lower case "a," cut it, trim it with an exacto knife, and place it, find the roll with the lowercase "r" in that font and point size, and so on and so forth. The tape was mostly used for last minute corrections, typos in the photostat type, wasn't really for typesetting a lot of copy, but using 8 letters or more of type tape wasn't out of the ordinary.

> really hope you're not intending to characterize intentionally killing another human being as "kids being kids ".

Nope. Those are your words not mine. Please don't try yo put them into my mouth. I think there's a lot of evidence from psychiatry and neuroscience that indicate that in fact "young adults" still have a lot in common with kids cognitively. I also think that a lot if not most "young adults" in fact don't fully comprehend other humans on the basis of undetstanding them empathetically. So I think it's very possible for them to kill without really understanding what they have done. If you read the literature of murderers one of the recurring themes is that it took them aging and exploring spiritually to understand that.

As to victims, there's not much which can be done for them is there? Their life is gone. That leaves a vacancy in the livws of those they loved and who loved them. The victim has been robbed of everything which I sincerely believe as someone who doesn't believe in an afterlife.

But is avenging that victim the purpose we should set thw state to doing? I personally don't think so. There is an asymetry there that I inderstand people abhore. The state cannot really do anything on behalf of the victim but it must deal with the perpetrator. Because when people ask, "what about the victim" this is what they are asking the state to do, to resolve to some degree the assymetrical outcome. And that is punishment.

Personally I don't believe the state should punish. I think power and punishment are a toxic mix. Jails IMO must exist to seperate but I don't think they should exist to punish. The idea that we can balance the assymetry of crime is an illusion IMO.
This is why I don't even look at my Twitter feed. I have Feedbin grab the tweets of a few users I follow and show them in with my RSS feeds. If I want to reply, yeah, then I go to Twitter...and still avoid the feed.
I was just investigating this. You can run your own Mastodon instance on your custom domain (e.g. masto.host), but due to how Mastodon federation works, your instance will 1. host all your content 2. handle a ton of requests when people interact with you or your content: follow, favorite, boost, etc.

Also every time a user follows you from an instance not federated with your instance it's a whole complicated process because federation has to be established between your instance and their instance (and, I think, every instance that they follow users from).

So if I understand your question correctly: there is no way to separate your identity from your content. If you want to own your identity you will need to self-host.

I am realizing now that the solution to these concerns is likely going to emerge from matrix.org, not Mastodon.
Not a fan of Tesla removing the sensors but a vehicle on a highway that isn’t moving the same direction as the car is not “trivial” with radar. No AEBs that use radar look for completely stopped objects after a certain speed because the number of false positives is so high.
Was trying to figure out where I heard your name before, sounds so familiar. Then it hit me. PDX Tuning. Small world.
How reasonable an idea is it to run your own mastodon instance for solo purposes? (eg. as one would run their own email server, or at least point a host's mx to their own domain)

How much would this cost, and is it possible to reliably secure an instance to run as a one-person federated instance easily?
TLDR PayPal is doing this to compete with other payment systems like Apple Pay that can quickly approve payments with biometrics, in order to mitigate users bailing on purchases because they don’t know their Paypal password.
It ended up manifested, sort of, in "Lights of Zetar" (or, you could make the argument, slumbered in the concept space all the way to Strange New Worlds' "All Who Wander").
Any time I use some new software that can be themed I look for the solarized dark theme. It’s just dark enough without being too high contrast.
Yes. Consumer technology, the internet, cell phones, etc, have all been tried and found wanting in a wide variety of ways. Unfortunately, because they're sort of "the default" for people, and there are a range of social media companies very, very invested in ensuring that "everything happens on their platforms," we've lost the skills required to do that sort of thing.

We ought to be re-developing them in a hurry, because cell phones, internet, etc, have all proven themselves quite evil.

Not only that, they wrote part of this math into a monologue for Dr. McCoy, where McCoy was advising Kirk.

In this galaxy, there's a mathematical probability of three million Earth-type planets. And in all of the universe, three million million galaxies like this. And in all of that... and perhaps more, only one of each of us.

Don't destroy the one named Kirk.

From the episode Balance of Terror:

https://youtu.be/2237SaR75iw?t=83
Here's the summary (mixed with observations from Munro and past Tesla presentations):

- Costs money: the physical sensors (a dozen of them), wiring it up, assembling it, maintain inventory, code it, etc.

- Time spent on maintaining, improving software stack for the non-vision sensors as well as efforts needed to fuse the data with vision, takes away from focusing on vision alone. It also holds back vision in relevant areas.

- Existing non-vision sensors used by Tesla are orders of magnitude lower fidelity than vision. It has historically (as the case with radar) led to vision essentially having to overriding radar because vision just performed much better (see AI day 2021).

My take:

As with any new tech, it likely sucks at the start (think HDD and SSDs, and how a mechanical thing with lots of moving parts was way more reliable than SSDs at the start). However, by essentially moving past the local maxima, you get to innovate better, faster in the future.

In case of ultrasonic sensors, they are for low speed cases anyway and most people are fine without them. Majority of fatalities and injuries happen at higher speeds.
At a glance, this sounds very similar to AWS' SRD protocol [1] - I'm curious how they compare but I see no mention of SRD in this paper.

Funny. I worked at AT&T Bell Labs in the 80s. All of these insights seem eerily familiar.
At first glance though he was calling for the replacement of TCL in the Datacenter!

That's not what I'd Expect from John Ousterhout. ;)

https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/Expect
"We hypothesize that flow-consistent routing is responsible for virtually all of the congestion that occurs in the core of datacenter networks".

Flow-consistent routing is the constraint that packets for a given TCP 4-tuple get routed through the same network path, rather than balanced across all viable paths; locking a flow to a particular path makes it unlikely that segments will be received out of order on the destination, which TCP handles poorly.
No, I can't envision this. Surface texture alone will not tell you if meat is cooked. There is no getting around the temperature probe.

Now, simple color matching models are used in some fancy toasters on white bread to determine brownness. That's the most I've ever seen in appliances...
> … it should be possible to bring it into widespread usage by integrating it with RPC frameworks.

That’s a powerful word, “should”. Many software in the datacenter are almost as old as TCP itself, in whole or part. Difficult but working, they will continue to linger unless something more than six letters of aspiration is applied to reimagining and rebuilding that considerable bulk.
Sure; they're also similar to the SCTP insights, from the late 1990s.
Thank you, but I would hardly consider these references unbiased.

The first is the acutal supposedly censored media vehicle complaining. That's expected.

In any case, the decision is at best in a grey area. A lot of people cry about freedom of press but the decision was around electoral laws and was simply trying to get better isonomy for both candidates.

The other decision was about avoiding the use of an incredibly loaded and polemic at best situation that happened 4 years ago to influence this year's elections. Mind you, there's nothing more than hearsay and conspiracy theories to try to link the event to Lula, PT or others related to the elected President.

This is an interesting topic, certainly one where there's a non-obvious balance between freedom of press and speech, and just and isonomic elections.
Excellent question. I will try that tomorrow morning and report back.
You mean something like RFC5575? That actually exists and is in use.
NYTimes said previously that declining usage of Twitter by users was its #1 financial problem (2018)

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/27/technology/twitter-stock-...

On the other hand, Twitter said this in Feb 2021:

> "Just ahead of its 2021 virtual investor day on Thursday, Twitter this morning announced its three long-term goals focused on user base and revenue growth, and a faster pace of shipping new features across its platform. The company said it aims to “at least” double its total annual revenue from $3.7 billion in 2020 to $7.5 billion or more in 2023. It also expects to reach at least 315 million mDAUs — that’s Twitter’s self-invented metric for “monetizable” daily active users — by the fourth quarter of 2023."

https://techcrunch.com/2021/02/25/twitter-plans-to-double-re...

Go figure, I guess if they can increase user numbers and cut costs somewhat they'll be okay.
Nothing deliberately drops UDP packets, but packets of all sorts get dropped when there's congestion.
> These blocks can be circumvented, and so far they have been, but freedom is generally on the defensive here.

This weakness has become especially apparent in recent years when governments react to civil unrest or protests by shutting off the internet. Signal doesn't help much when the data pipes stop flowing.

I recall hearing about another privacy-focused messaging app that could be used peer-to-peer with Bluetooth, though I cannot recall its name. Edit: I think it was Briar? Not something I'm familiar with.
catppuccin [1] is similar, had been using solarized for almost a decade, but tried catppuccin about 6 months ago and it was so good I’ve switched over permanently. Like solarized there are light and dark variants and there are versions for vim and vs code and many other editors as well.

Oh, just that now? And then it’s a problem solved?
The messaging services never opened their protocols. Trillian (& pidgin etc) has always played catch-up. It was just more difficult for the "major players" of the time because for a protocol update, you needed to release a new version of your software, and somehow have all your users seamlessly migrate to it before releasing breaking changes.

MSN/WLM, AIM, YIM, ICQ, Gadu-Gadu, Skype… all of them were reverse-engineered. The only open protocols it supported were IRC and Jabber.

It's theoretically much easier to introduce a new transport inside of a DC, since you're inside the network perimeter and you'll generally have control over policy-based filtering decisions.

I'd tell you a UDP joke, but you probably wouldn't get it.

So here's a TCP joke:

Hello, would you like to hear a TCP joke?

Yes, I'd like to hear a TCP joke.

OK, I'll tell you a TCP joke.

OK, I'll hear a TCP joke.

Are you ready to hear a TCP joke?

Yes, I am ready to hear a TCP joke.

OK, I'm about to send the TCP joke. It will last 10 seconds, it has two characters, it does not have a setting, it ends with a punchline.

OK, I'm ready to hear the TCP joke that will last 10 seconds, has two characters, does not have a setting and will end with a punchline.

Because it will be replacing COAL, and can be build in couple of months.
Maybe you’ve been meeting different entrepreneurs than me because the vast majority of people with good ideas seem to suck at communicating them.

I hope they study this stuff and I’ve seen it promoted heavily in the HN/VC world, but in practice it’s rare to find well pitched startup ideas.
That's great for them. But when I'm shopping for a car, I get to choose between a manufacturer that installs the extra sensors and seems to be able to get them to work, and Tesla.

Used to be that Tesla was blazing a trail and if you wanted a good EV, that was what you got. Now, if you want the best EV, it's usually not going to be a Tesla. And I don't see that they're making any decisions that will regain them that title. The incumbent manufacturers are quickly proceeding to eat their lunch, just like many of us predicted would happen. Turns out the hard part of making a successful car isn't the drivetrain.
that's not a job? there's a reason one of the most common ways to insult them is "they do it for free".

As an Engineering Manager I've found two simple tools can help with almost all of the items mentioned here: brag docs and one-on-ones.

Brag docs help you, the IC remember what you did all year and your manager at review time. The keys are the right level of detail, capturing the soft stuff that doesn't get recorded anywhere else and the discipline to keep it current. If anyone else has had to spend a day or more 2x a year getting their performance reviews done, the commitment of 10-15 minutes every week or so is an easy sell.

If your manager hasn't butchered your 1:1s, turning them into status updates (and you actually have them scheduled) many of the other points listed are great topics for discussion. I love it when someone on my team asks a specific question about promotions or upcoming work opportunities or something we both experienced. I rarely have the answer but always get it and follow up. It makes me feel good to be helping the individual (and the team) and we're actively building a relationship on respect and caring.

I don't see these activities as the typically negative "managing up". Taking active responsibility for yourself and your team is a good strategy. I look for motives when people act, and these all tell me the person cares about themselves, about other and wants everyone to get better.
I see UDP more like a low level interface allowing you to build your own on top. Where you decide what packages need to be revived 100% and which one can be dropped. Basically the foundation of your very own TCP with hookers and blackjack.
I used to be a huge Ruby fan but I got to say Julia had proven to be a much nicer language than Python or Ruby ever was. It gives stronger typing so it feels a bit more like a statically typed language in terms of safeguarding you, but without getting in the way. Lot of the power of LISP without the odd syntax.

Problem is the community is not web focused so you may not find enough choice in web libraries to your taste.

Good for them, I don't like how people have abused the term "researcher" in America in both physical and electronic contexts to basically just... be utter pests.

Then you mix in not even being accurate? It's fair to complain.

I can be incredibly offensive, on and offline, but at least my issue has always been more of a "no filter" issue than... making things up.

(Hacker proptip: Don't threaten to misunderstand, or I'll do whatever I want rather than even attempt some kind of ethical framework... and I learned to code like the lolbertarians asked.)

The iMessage model? Somehow make having a Twitter brand Twitter account into a status symbol. Turn the screws on monetization while giving the product away for free to VIPs. Banish the poors and undesirables to the fediverse, where they can green tweet as long as they like.

There's hundreds of years of art and literature you can delve into if you're genuinely interested in the idea, from Victor Hugo to Dostoyevsky to Arthur Miller. But I guess to me it boils down to this. Harming other people, even within the context of civil institutions is harmful to the soul. It creates abusive relationships that degrade the harmer and the harmee. When we institutionalize harm we separate ourselves from that degradation and make others bear it. Furthermore, that culture of harm is not static. It is capable of moving through our society and reaching indirectly all kinds of people. Our civilizational aspirations should take us away from revenge and towards grace and understanding.

But that's just like my opinion man.
