I have a Nissan Leaf and it always bothered me there was no software way to fully disable telematics.

I looked into how to disable the hardware but it's a very involved procedure and the car is leased so I dropped it, but maybe I need to revisit.
I firmly disagree because this isn't a learning model - it uses the same model for all output. So, unlike Microsoft's Twitter experiments, it can't be abused at scale into spitting out hate. So, any abuse is forced to find flaws in a fixed model and won't affect anyone else using it, which is much harder and pointless. What's the point? It's all for giggles, no actual harm caused, humans can write whatever they want anyway.
Really, the risk here is that the install is going to do something unfortunate, like delete everything in your filesystem because you have a space in your home directory name or cause problems because your .profile didn't end with a CR and it blindly appended it's own stuff to it.

I'm not sure how package managers prevent this sort of issue, but in general running shell scripts as root (and it probably needs to run as root) is a bad thing.
There is such a staggering quantity of electronics (or just stuff, generally) wasted that if you're putting something to literally any use at all - like your ipad clock - then you're miles better than standard.

I also encourage everyone to be aggressive in putting things on the used market, or even giving it away for free (commonly in those local facebook "buy nothing" groups). For a lot of mass-produced things you can view the used market as a storage space. Sell/give it away one year, and if you need it the next year you'll probably be able to find someone else doing the same. On the flip side, avoid buying new stuff. Try to only buy used electronics, especially.
Yeah, I think it's to solicit a reaction 100%, but it's not subversive at all. Their intentions are clear. The "coaxed into a snafu" meme hints at the nature of what makes trolling unique versus just flaming. Reading back the last part of that sentence has teleported me back in time about 20 years.
After having spent far too long in an academic institution, whose administration was the most riddled with errors, incompetence, and bloat that I've ever encountered, this article makes me feel happy. It's not an easy problem, but at least someone notices.
Sure, but that's not why The Eras Tour tickets were so expensive, which is the real reason Taylor Swift fans are upset.

Yes, TM has a concerning amount of control over venues and therefore artists, but in this scenario, that's not very relevant, given the insane demand and the basic physics problem involved with trying to stuff 12 million people into spaces (at a time) that hold a total of maybe 2.

It's just weird to me how we can't separate the issues. TM's main insult to the Swifties were the technical issues, not their potential monopoly. Ticket prices would be insane regardless.
They have stabilisers to stop them rolling side to side
Sure, but you have to realize there's a trade off there. If you reduce the incentive to work in order to enable more social interaction and leisure, that's going to come at the expense of productivity, resulting in a diminished economic "standard of living" across the board. It also puts you at a competitive disadvantage with other societies which don't implement those reduced incentives.

Now maybe that price is indeed worth it, but I think that's a decision that should be left up to each individual, not imposed at the societal level via UBI or something similar. If any particular person decides it's worth taking the economic hit in order to work less, or on something that's less economically valuable, that's completely up to them.
Does he set the trends though? Trend setting elsewhere doesn't necessarily follow the richest person around.
If curl dies early, bash might be executing a truncated script. Arbitrarily truncated bash scripts are often valid bash scripts that do things you don't want.

This must explain Sony's crappy phone software.
One thing I learned a long time ago in ops is that if it doesn’t break (because someone sacrifices they’re well-being), then it won’t get fixed.

The managers and leaders keep pushing things because they can.
It doesn't create anything new. It creates things that look new.

The code examples are perfect case studies, they don't actually work. They aren't just slightly wrong, they're completely nonsensical.

Another example is "is <number> prime?", it can't answer things like that, and it will make up something that may or may not be accurate.

The model has no concept of what is true or false, it's essentially trying to predict what is the most likely token to come next.

It seems to know stuff because the knowledge comes from the dataset, hence techniques like zero-shot, few-shot and prompt-based learning.
Developer Productivity at Google
Cargo does not. Rustup’s installer does, by default. It informs you of this before it does so, and you can ask it to not if you’d prefer.
I agree that the percentage they take is predatory. However I have a junior we hired right out of lambda school who was not in a position to go back to college even if they could have gotten loans. He now makes six figures and has a career he doesn’t hate.

The elitism of keeping knowledge in overpriced institutions is what needs to die. I know dudes who work construction that have deep math skills, but believe themselves idiots because schools don’t meet them half way or peak their curiosity and thus they did poorly.
I misread the title also. It is 127Meters in length, no mention of the cost.
I think Amazon drops prices for competitive reasons - I know for some of my self-published works I got "paid" the same amount even when Amazon for inscrutable reasons decided to discount the book to customers.

I do NOT think they bother printing multiple copies and warehouse them, I think it is very much print as many copies on demand as they need. I may be wrong here.

Not sure when this project first began exactly, but the Show HN for it is from 2020 <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22790425>, and various things suggest that timeframe for its genesis.

The same concern was raised by the user "segfaultbuserr" in that Show HN thread[1].

In 2019 I wrote up this very idea as part of a brain dump of long-stalled thoughts that I had been kicking around but not published anywhere. There are mitigations to the attack you describe, which I included in my original terse writeup about such a "Wikipedia Name System"[2]. I pasted the explanation in a comment in the original Show HN thread. The idea lies in the fact that although wikis can be edited to point to your own fake honeytrap, there are things that can't be faked; it's a public ledger sort of thought exercise in the vein of Bitcoin—but no need for proof of work or what is currently associated with cryptocurrency, etc. As I (re-)explained three years ago:

> Not as trivially compromised as it sounds like it would be; could be faked with (inevitably short-lived) edits, but temporality can't be faked. If a system were rolled out tomorrow, nothing that happens after rollout [...] would alter the fact that for the last N years, Wikipedia has understood that the website for Facebook is facebook.com. Newly created, low-traffic articles and short-lived edits would fail the trust threshold. After rollout, there would be increased attention to make sure that longstanding edits getting in that misrepresent the link between domain and identity [can never reach maturity]. Would-be attackers would be discouraged to the point of not even trying.

(This also provides mitigation for what is (currently) the top comment in this thread—the issue of Wikipedians censoring certain domains, provided that they have a long enough history to meet the trust threshold before they were decided to be too contentious to share information about them.)

At HAProxyConf last month, a lot of the community members presenting on stage explained why they chose HAProxy over alternatives like Nginx. Benchmark performance was a big part of it, but so was the community. LinkedIn said they compared HAProxy with Nginx, Envoy, and Zuul, and chose HAProxy because of the open-source model, the roadmap and release cycle, and all the features available in the non-Enterprise version. You can see some of their slides and performance benchmark results in this conference recap: https://www.haproxy.com/blog/haproxyconf-2022-recap/

Obviously the 90s movie rental place had no movies made after the 90s.

A movie rental place had more or less all blockbusters (pun intended) and a huge stack of old movies. Netflix today, not the old postal order Netflix, has nowhere near the assortment of a kinda crappy movie rental place of the late 90s.
Thank goodness in a way, otherwise all of us firmware people in the US wouldn't have anything to write code for!
Yeah, let's pretend that the VC coverage and legacy media coverage of for example, SBF recent debacle was stellar. Not saying VC's will fix this, but someone needs to.

There are good journalists out there, they just have been long fired from their news rooms and have accepted that the owners of the mass media are in control of the narrative.
You can think of it as having layers of redundancy.

* Retries are one layer. By default set to 3 retries. HAProxy will retry the failed connection or request with the same server.

* "option redispatch" is another layer. If HAProxy can't connect to a server that is reporting as healthy, it will send the request to a different server.

* health checks are a layer. HAProxy removes unresponsive servers from load balancing.

* Backup servers are another layer. If all servers fail their health checks and are down, then backup servers come online to service requests.

All these things can be enabled in combination, and it would reduce the chance of a client getting a server error.

To answer your question, HAProxy will not connect with a server that is down (failed all its health checks). It will not retry with it either.
I absolutely love how all of this completely goes against my most internalized intuitions about what computer can and can't do.

I feel like I've been dumped into a sci-fi world invented by someone who doesn't know how computers work and doesn't care.
For sure, -O3 isn't really necessary in the kernel, but saying, "it's so bad that we shouldn't even have a Kconfig flag for it" is a bit extreme
The boat is 127 meters long (sailboats are described primarily by length). Its cost has been reported (elsewhere) in the vicinity of US $500 million.

One wonders how much the maintenance will cost.
Thanks for clarifying that perspective, I've not considered that before.

It would be nice to see some hard numbers re: net negative contributions.

Isn't the fact that they've refreshed and renewed https://a16zcrypto.com/ and focused less on the general https://future.com/ direct evidence to the contrary?

Meta point: isn't it bizarre that people are so eager to draw conclusions without any underlying evidence?
The iOS built-in Parental Controls settings can be used to enable/disable access on an app-by-app basis; that's probably all that's needed here, since Camera + Photos by themselves don't give you any built-in web browsers. (Camera.app can scan QR codes, but it just pops a new tab in Safari when you click them, and Parental Controls would block that.)
I am so done with algorithms.
The comparison was not really unbiased, because for RISC-V the compressed instruction extension was used, which artificially makes RISC-V appear to have shorter programs.

RISC-V with the compressed instruction extension should be compared only with ARMv8-M (i.e. Thumb2), nanoMIPS or other such ISA's, which target similar levels of CPU performance, not with ARMv8-A, which is intended to be implemented at much higher levels of performance.

The graph with the number of instructions reveals that the RISC-V programs were not shorter than the AArch64 programs, but longer by more than 12% (all AArch64 and RISC-V instructions have the same length).

RISC-V has only one great feature that is the cause of a significant program length reduction, the combined compare-and-branch instructions, which save one instruction, i.e. one 32-bit word, at each conditional branch, i.e. at every 4 to 5 instructions, in comparison with AArch64.

However the other weaknesses of RISC-V are great enough that even with the compare-and-branch advantage the RISC-V programs end longer than the AArch64 programs.
Do they not have the option of forcing the railroads to give in on the sick leave issue? Did not "Team Blue" as in the Biden administration arrange this set of trade offs in the first place in the agreement which some of the most affected (screwed) workers are rejecting?

The question is probably more about being able to create an index untainted by poor economic incentives.

It seems that ChatGPT is already based on some high quality content, evaluation, and filter mechanisms... and _somewhat_ of a powerful reasoning engine. Further, it will be interesting to see if OpenAI innovates a life-long learning approach to avoid classic stability vs plasticity dilemmas when incorporating new knowledge not yet trained on.

Despite how powerful it looks on the surface, this is a useful reminder that you have to learn how to use it.

Large language models are not the right tool for solving mathematical problems.

They are surprisingly good at writing code though... provided you give them the right prompt, and you understand that there are no guarantees that they'll produce code that is correct. Kind of like working with a human programmer in that regard to be honest!
I do. I wrote quite some.
Then dynhtml happened through JS. Nothing like the JS we have today. Loved it.

But both java applets and JS was mostly open. I recall you could open most applets and get the Java code or some form of it, rather easy. But it might simply be that concealment wasn't important back then. Idk.
> there is no absolute safety

Now we've come full circle. I recommend you go back and read my initial comment in this thread and the comment I was responding to. You've veered far off course from there into waters in which we likely have very little disagreement of any consequence.

> And Java can have surprisingly good performance

Show me a regex engine written in Java that can compete with my own, RE2, PCRE2 or one of a number of production grade regex engines written in C, C++ or Rust. I'm not aware of any.

That Java can "have surprising good performance" is not a statement I'd ever disagree with in general terms. That has absolutely zero to do with anything I've written in this thread (or elsewhere, ever).

Will all due respect, I think you've lost the script here.
Damn, forgot about sports... Funny so that theose pros seem to be really happy with their 6k camera bodies paired with 10k+ optics, one would assume that if connectivity would be a killer feature, like AF back when Canon ate the sports market from Nikon, someone between Nikon, Canon, Sony or Fuji would implement it. The money is definitely there.
When you're talking "self made billionaire" I think you're picking from a select enough group that "very lucky a few times" is still within reason.

I'd like to see a study where they took the net worth of boat owners and compared to them to purchase price, I wonder what the % would trend to.
Even before having a smart phone, I always powered off my phone at least an hour before I plan to sleep. I also avoid watching any videos or news that is anxiety inducing.

Diet wise, I avoid sugar like the plague. About an hour before going to bed I take L-Theanine, B1 benfotiamine, D3, K2, chelated magnesium taurate and "Sleep Better" capsules which are just Organic Ashwagandha root (Withania somnifera), Organic Skullcap tops (Scutellaria lateriflora), Organic Valerian root (Valeriana officinalis), Organic Passionflower tops (Passiflora incarnata), Organic Hops strobiles (Humulus lupulus), pullulan. These are "adaptogens".

I keep my room dark and cool which is easy this time of year. I have a HEPA filter that adds a constant but quiet noise to reduce the chances of coyotes or deer waking me up.
Yes, and this means that everything you shoot with (say) an iPhone tends to look the same. The camera has a very well curated set of opinions on color science etc that works really well for most people, but it enforces a look and once you try and wander out of that it stops being an effective instrument for looking at the world. (Yes, ProRAW helps a bit, but nothing beats real lenses on a big sensor for having your own control over image creation.)

That said, if you're just taking snaps to share with friends I don't see why you'd care about any of that : )

Aside from the truth or falsity of the claim, which is amply discussed in this thread:

Snopes is, supposedly, a neutral Mythbusters site for the Web.

"Urban street gangs initiate members by making them drive at night with lights off and kill anyone who flashes lights at them" -- busted!. Great stuff.

Instead, they bend over backwards to cite irrelevancies about political figures they like: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/joe-biden-us-mexico-border...

> But we were unable to find a documented Biden visit to the U.S.-Mexico border during his presidency. We reached out to the White House to learn more and will update this post if we get more information.

> We should note, however, that Vice President Kamala Harris visited the Texas border in June 2021 and toured immigration facilities. In December 2019, before the presidential elections, Jill Biden also visited asylum seekers in camps on the Mexican side of the border.

How is relevant that Harris went to El Paso? The press secretary said Biden went there. We "reached out to the White House to learn more" -- what more is there to learn? They already busted it.

.. and investigate, scrupulously, anything favorable to their side:

It's fine for Snopes to be a "fact checker with an agenda." They just need to disclose the agenda.

Yeah, that's what in was trying to get at by just saying "something." I was thinking of any activity where, at the end, something exists that didn't before. I think there's probably a giant swath of people who would want to make things for the enjoyment they get from making them.

I have to disagree about hobbies, though. I think a lot of people intentionally choose not to monetize their hobbies, lest the pressure of making money infect the joy of the hobby itself.

I have recently given up the notion of ever owning a house: it’s far too expensive.

Even with rent increases, I can live in 500 sqft apartments and basically retire in my 30s/40s.

If I buy a house I’ll work until I’m 70. And I’ll be house poor that whole time.

The price of single-family detached homes is so out of line that it is absurd.
Plenty of hard-working Senior VPs at hedge funds never become billionaires. Hedge funds themselves tend to rely on a good deal of luck plus skilled marketing. If Bezos had been working at DE Shaw during an economic downturn, would he have had the same future?

The FTX trade happened in April 2021 and it looks like it was because the value of mobilecoin spiked and someone in FTX bet on it at a high price before it dropped.

https://imgur.com/a/dgeaIzK

I don’t think this was some FTX investment directly to mobilecoin itself (they were buying coins, not loans/investment that would expose them to FTXs recent drop). Despite the headline making it seem that way. In the year plus since the Apr 2021 price spike mobilecoin price is pretty stable.

So I’m not sure why Signal should drop them other than because of the general volatility in crypto.
