But Virginia goes further west than West Virginia. Virginia should be renamed South Virginia.
There is no 100% spec compatible org-mode application for the mobile phones (because org mode does not have formal spec AFAIK). No amount of features will compensate that single drawback. End of story.
So you might identify somebody 90% European as 100%, and your point is what exactly?
Very cool and useful tool.
Two pain points for me:

A) I don't see support for RTL languages (like Hebrew/Arabic) - or to configure text alignment.

B) According to a Github issue [1] it cannot be installed on a Raspberry Pi

I'm curious why it's designed to hold the object in front of a rather distant camera for several seconds in order to identify it, instead of mounting a camera on the vacuum arm itself so that it can observe the object as it approaches. The face it grabs tends to be the biggest and contain the product label so you'd also be able to get a better look at the object.
Are you sure?

The calloc() [1] function mentioned above takes two values of type size_t, and allocates their product bytes.

I'm on mobile without (!) the C99 draft spec but at least the man page gives no such restriction.

If malls waste it like that it means that the electricity is too cheap and still plenty.

I bet that a lot of it it's subsidized in good old French tradition.
What’s a pivotal work of Walter Lippmann one could read?
Pandas Queries for Computer Vision
Exactly. I yearn for documentation that doesn’t require me to essentially run experiments to figure out what a library does. It is mind blowing how much time I’ve wasted in my career figuring things out that could have just been explained by accurate documentation.
You don’t really have to know any lawyers. You can find a lawyer who has a good reputation easily. They are always up for a chat and know the lawyer that’s would be useful for your situation. There’s a good amount of networking and referrals going on in the legal profession and is perfectly normal to just ask for help.

It’s like if your stomach hurt you might call a gastroenterologist but then he says sounds like something a dietician can help with and tells you someone they recommend. Same thing happens in the legal world.
France's energy production is not as clean as one may think. There is considerable damage to the environment in countries in Africa, where Uranium is mined/extracted. Probably still better than lots of CO2 output, but not actually clean.

No, it's aimed specifically at this one.

YouTube's search results vary from person to person. I don't know which video you want me to watch - Paul Moore's five minute one? Den of Tools' eight minute one? Byte of Geek's nine minute one? Something else?

At the very least, since you've got a video in mind, link to it, but text remains a way better medium for this sort of thing.
The issue is simple: privatizations.

The public in the past have invested for the public interests. After the private have do not profiting from old State made investments leaving anything else falling apart. When they reach a certain level of mess they going out, leaving the State arrange the mess and handle the rage, waiting to came back once a new wave of investments will repair the mess.

Unfortunately people seems to ignore that, allowing such model to prosper.
The age of enlightenment was a time of new emphasis on, among a great many other things, obtaining knowledge through reason and structured logic. Even seeing "science" as a discreet concept (i.e. the scientific process) came to be in this time period.

Modernism was a shakeup and rejection of "realism"; post-modernism took it a step further by rejecting the notion of a universal truth entirely; the replacement idea is that what is true can only be discerned based on an individual's experience as we can only gain knowledge through imperfect means.
And now I feel compelled to go research who David Brooks is ... jeez, talk about a poor man's Streisand effect.

Does anyone know whether this also applies to the government?
Well, the key to these games is to "not solve every problem" for the players, but only to "solve the tedious problems" for the players.

You could build very good blocks in Caesar III with consistent services. However, it meant that you couldn't have _ANY_ forks in the road at all, and that all of your blocks would be giant loops. By adding roadblocks (ie: Pharaoh), you can suddenly have as many forks in the road as you like. For different sized blocks. Expanding the kinds of "block designs" that are optimal for the game is probably a good thing. Base CaesarIII is too restrictive IMO.

--------

"Running out of resources" locally is solved through warehouse management. I'd argue that this is the "fun" part of the game. Each warehouse + marketplace only can serve as many homes / houses as they can reliably pull supplies. For something like pottery, that is:

1. Clay Pits

2. Pottery furnace

3. Warehouse

4. + Additional Warehouses throughout the city for a good distribution network. Possibly augmented with foreign trade / docks.

5. Marketplaces

6. The final delivery to the house.

Yes, the Marketplaces, and even warehouses, have limited "throughput" and can only serve a finite number of houses. After that, you must expand by building "parallel marketplaces". Eventually, you build too many marketplaces and the Warehouse cart-pusher is overloaded with work, so you need additional warehouses to expand that bottleneck. Etc. etc.

IE: This problem is "reserved for the player to solve". The game shouldn't solve it for you, otherwise it wouldn't be a game anymore. Deciding "which bits" of the game to solve vs leave to the player to solve is the fundamental question of game design: what is fun anyway?
My reading of this was that the author doesn't accept that this is child abuse, but is skeptical that some gender-affirming interventions in children are as safe and effective as are being claimed.
I don't understand the advice of switching off appliances and lights at night. Surely if France has an energy production shortfall, it must be at peak period which is during the day from 9am until about 7pm [1], not in the middle of the night. Particularly given the vast majority of its production costs the same whether you use it or not (nuclear, wind). And even for gas, the problem isn't the quantity of gas available, it is the output of the gas power plants available. So saving gas during the night doesn't help peak production.

Last week YouTuber Allen Pan launched Canadian United Media in response to CNN using one of his previous videos unattributed on their platforms. The site is all AI generated from a model trained on CNN content. Funny to see MSN putting another Allen Pan idea in to practice.

Same deal, 2001 when C# was in beta.

That's worked out.
A bit of everything, 5 have been stopped due to cracks: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_corrosion_cracking

A few are having their once in a decade maintenance check

Some are waiting for maintenance which were delayed due to covid

We didn't train enough maintenance workers because everyone was talking about shifting out of nuclear in favor of renewable (we're using American contractors now afaik)

So mostly bad decisions and poor management, it's a political issue more than anything else, it worked fine since the 70s to more or less a decade ago
Samy is still my hero
>some of the staunchest woke people I know...

What does "woke" mean in this context? I'm not being snarky here, I'm just curious how you're defining the term.

Especially since I've heard so many conflicting definitions that It's not clear what someone means by "woke" in most contexts except as a counterpoint to "asleep."

Does it mean a belief in equal rights/treatment/opportunities for all sentient beings?

Does it mean a belief that all those of European extraction are racist, slave-mongering monsters?

Does it mean a belief that Marxism is the only acceptable political ideology?

I've heard all of the above (and more) as "definitions" of "woke," with so much variation as to make the term useless.

So if you wouldn't mind, please provide your definition of the term so I actually have some idea what the hell you're going on about. Thanks!
I should have specified that it's much better than even driving luxury cars. In NYC, it can be cheaper too - owning a luxury car in that city is VERY expensive.

Yes, sizeof has a primitive as a weird behaviour when used in the scope of a continuous allocation. I agree it’s unfortunate.

But "arrays" definitely are pointers. I put "arrays" in quote because C has nothing I would personally call an array. It’s just contiguous memory allocation. It’s to the point that 10[a] and a[10] are desugared to the same thing.
> How do you justify the left ignoring stories in their media? For instance the story about Chase Staub.

I'm guessing that "the premier media source for LGBTQ Georgia"[1] is probably left-leaning and they've covered it. Same for "a central part of Washington, DC’s gay and lesbian community"[2]. Reasonably sure that [3] lean left.

Nothing is "unreliable recently", the mess is decade old, simply when EDF was private, after have acquired public made energy systems, they reduce investments to the minimum creating the present mess. Once the damage was so big they can't mask it again they left, leaving the mess to the public.

The public, who is abetter, have managed to push some excuses to avoid finger point any private friend and so reveal the mess all at once.
I've heard people genuinely say such things, there's nothing about the statement to indicate sarcasm to me (not doubting that it is, only that it didn't translate well).
Collusion implies coordinating on something illegal or worth hiding from the public - what exactly is the alleged wrongdoing? That Twitter had people that worked with both presidential campaigns to expedite the review of moderation requests? I mean, by this definition, what interaction between private institutions and politicians doesn't qualify as collusion? Like what principles are even being violated here?
I propose we name that one Other Virginia. Which makes the other Other-other Virginia.
Show HN: Advent Calendars Created by Stable Diffusion
Whenever I learn some new set of technologies, I love to build fun things for people in my life. I am currently diving into AI/ML and found myself drawn to Stable Diffusion for the last few days. My wife loves cute and floofy things, so I made her an Advent Calendar of some of her favorite floofs. She really loves the hyper-realistic version of our cat, Colette.

`Floof - Day 1` and `Colette - Day 2` both have some behind-the-scenes gifs of what Stable Diffusion does step-by-step.

If you or others in your life may enjoy some cute creatures, feel free to enjoy a new one every day. If you have any suggestions on how to make it better, feel free to leave it here or send via email.

Not sure what privatisations have to do with the problem. My understanding is that it is a combination of a technical problem (corrosion happening at an unexpected pace) and the impact of covid lockdowns which deferred critical maintenance.
I have more time than money. My way is more manual, but doesn’t cost anything (beyond the backup cost, which is fairly cheap). There were some free providers for home users, but the amounts were way too low. I currently have 2.5 Terabytes of photos and videos. The free providers were all less than 10gb. Laughably low.
Staffing may or may not be related to whether a company is profitable.
Precisely. There's a schizophrenic attitude around LLM. People simultaneously refuse to accept what they're really good at and attribute to them capabilities they don't really have.

In this very thread there are people who claim they're afraid gpt3 is coming for their job. You must really suck at engineering if you think this is competition.
Not only did Tesla announce Megawatt chargers they claim will do 70% charging in 30 minutes, but this isn't a sleeper cab, so you're not going to have two drivers doing shifts anyway. And there's no need to worry about the pack freezing during use. The pack can be thermally insulated and the temperature is typically controlled via a coolant loop, possibly using a heat pump to maintain temperature. They're also typically automatically pre-heated before leaving.

If you plug in to charge immediately after driving, the temperature issue isn't a problem as both charging and discharging the battery produce some heat.

(Additionally, the "can't charge below freezing" is a chemistry-dependent thing... it's really only essential for certain chemistries like lithium-iron-phosphate, not the type they're using on the long range Tesla Semi... although acceptable charge rate does reduce at lower temperatures due to lower charge-carrier mobility IIRC.)

Stopping for 30 minutes to add another ~350 miles to the range will mean that a driver won't be limited by the truck in how long they can drive in a day. Additionally, charging is way safer than pumping diesel fuel, so drivers don't need to tend to their truck during charging (unlike fueling), freeing them up to rest or clean up or eat.

Tesla has done an excellent job installing Supercharging infrastructure in the last 10 years in the US (better than everyone else combined, although it's getting better), so installing Megacharging infrastructure seems like something they'll be easily capable of.
Hammers, stickers, Murica swag, and WD-40? Lol, this is the kind of stuff I'd expect to find in airport tourist-trap gift shops. Not exactly the kind of things "higher up the value chain" that GP mentioned, more like a shallow parody of Americana and a pretty far cry from the manufacturing powerhouse Asia has become...

Even looking at an old-guard American think tank's report, it's pretty dismal: https://www.aei.org/carpe-diem/separate-country-top-500-us-m...

Basically petroleum products and cars, along with electronics assembly where most of the hard manufacturing is done offshore. Military stuff seems to be the only major thing we still produce here.

I mean, is this really controversial? It's been happening for decades and only recently has there been some (very limited) executive action to try to bring it back. I'm all for it, FWIW, but it'll take some time (and a lot of willpower and money) to really make that happen.
This blogpost is not fairly representing the current state of the conversation about care for transgender kids. That is dishonest behavior and as a secular humanist I feel obligated to call in and present a fuller picture.

https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/150/3/e20220...

"Our findings from a national sample of adolescents across 16 states reveal that the sex assigned at birth ratio of transgender adolescents does not favor transgender adolescents assigned female sex at birth."

The claims of social contagion and so on have been examined and they just aren't true. It is also wrong to represent that level of uncertainty about puberty blockers, which have been and continue to be used by cis children for years without a peep or a poop from those currently in a panic about trans kids on puberty blockers. It is also paternalistic and authoritarian to say that weighing risks and benefits of puberty blockers should be done by culture warrior politicians rather than a conversation between a patient and a doctor.

The data are in, the debate is settled: it's simply a moral panic and it harms real people to pretend there are enough open questions to merit further discussion. You're just being a bigot who refuses to acknowledge empirical reality at that point, not a secular humanist.

1 out of 4 stars.
I wouldn't be worried unless they explicitly try to own intellectual rights to stuff you make outside your work. They are just trying to cover their asses with as many clauses as possible but really, only time I'd see them being enforced if you jump right into a competitor and/or create your own competing product.

No energy production is clean. Actually, I'd be curious to compare the damage to the environment caused by uranium extraction vs producing batteries and solar panels.
Maintenance had been postponed during the corona crisis. What had not been foreseen was the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the associated general energy crisis in Europe.
I can talk only about Berlin but many furniture stores have started to switch all lights off at night. Even the Ikea sign isn't lit anymore.

Criminally hilarious.
A short story: I once was recruited by an acquaintance to work on the social media campaign of a local politician contesting for the governorship election. Mind you, this isn't the US or any western country but a third-world nation. I was a college student on break, so it was an easy way to make some money...nothing wrong I thought.

Well, time to start work, and it turns out it isn't as straightforward as I thought. This social media campaign involved creating fake Twitter accounts with AI-generated photos as profile pictures and pushing stories supporting the politician. I've always hated social media and wasn't too familiar, so I thought, does this even work?

Well, yeah, it worked. We pushed frankly bogus stories and overtly biased posts and many of them got to the Twitter front page for users in my country. Even I was shocked how those posts had a considerable impact, and the politician ended up winning the election.

This work thought me a great lesson; quit social media because you're being manipulated everywhere. Mind you, this was a small operation with less than two dozen persons. Imagine what someone with a massive budget, let's say Putin or MBS, could achieve by building a propaganda farm employing thousands...It's definitely hard to discern truth when everyone is being fed a large stream of propaganda at every second.

As for me, I quit social media or any type of news...I'm not confident in my abilities to discern truth when there are dedicated teams of psy-op operators trying to manipulate me. If you think you're smart enough to counter such efforts, good luck to you, but as for me, I think the human brain did not evolve to handle mass media positively.
This is less useful nowdays, since magstrip are deprecated (at least in most developed countries).
I think clever is also used differently among Brits than Yanks. Brits equate it with intellect and imagination. Americans see cleverness less charitably, as an self-serving tactic in a game that leads to winning. A clever person in the States is often just a trickster.
> There is considerable damage to the environment in countries in Africa, where Uranium is mined/extracted.

That's equally of not more true of renewables like solar and batteries that require large amounts of rare metals.
And unsurprisingly the downloadable version uses Electron.
Well we will see if this works out as a viable alternative.
