>but they cause more trouble than they're worth and are there largely to compensate for the beefier pylons they also require now

They're a decade late knee jerk reaction to the huge rear blind spots the Ford Expeditions and Chevy Suburbans that white collar types thought were the cool hot thing to own in 2004ish and characteristically refused to take responsibility for occasionally backing over their kids with them.

The fat pillars came a tad later with side curtain airbags.
Even for Stack Overflow, knowing what to copy is a learned skill. Stuff like "this accepted answer with 10k upvotes is 8 years old, I should scroll down and see if there's a newer answer with the right way to do it in $latest version". Maybe chatGPT can handle that, I don't know, I just think that finding the right answer within the right forum post is an important learned skill and I wouldn't want new people to miss out on it. It carries over to many other areas of your life.
Well, here's the CEO of OpenAI saying that the future [of the graph of AI performance, presumably] is "vertical".

That's not quite evidence in favour of FerociousTimes, but unless we soon see evidence of this "vertical" future, it will become such.
Do you have any research that wearing a helmet in an automobile saves people? Given that you have a full frame and airbags that seems questionable.
Barkhausen Effect
Seeing what's happened with 'smart' TVs, I'm not holding my breath.
From your own link:

> This is where you round up your bill to give to a charity designated by the retailer, and the donation amount appears on your receipt. The store serves only as a collection agent for your gift. Assuming the business is following the law, it will not include your donation as part of its business receipts, or income, nor will it claim the charitable gift as an expense.
I’m in the midst of job search right now and I’m interviewing with two different companies doing shipping logistics. I’ve seen at least one other in the course of this job search. I’m guessing that there’s been a lot of thinking happening in this space already.
Pi is done already.

For the last few years anyone doing "Circuit/Micro-Python with GPIO" switched to ESP32 a long time ago, and the "I need a small PC" people just went back to using small PCs.
Just have a look at the list of AWS services and you'll find over a hundred of examples. But when you look deeper, it turns out people get locked in just because they want, not because they have to.
A good example is ECR. You really don't have to use it to use Docker effectively on AWS, but it's slightly more convenient than spinning up an EC2 instance with a private Docker repo. Also it's well documented, many people use it and so on. So you get hooked up, you write scripts, and when finally you start thinking about switching you realize the sheer amount of work needed to modify all this is just scary. So you say, "I can't afford the downtime" and continue with AWS.
The safety in numbers should not be resigned as a small effect. When drivers see zero cyclists, they stop looking for them.

There is a very notable difference in streets that get high non motorized usage vs a lot. Compare a playground or park with a lot of pedestrians compared to say a national forest.

What's more, a helmet only helps if you hit your head. A small fraction (afaik, less than 10%) of falls will have a helmet helping you at all (but when it would, you tend to really want the helmet)
In this thread I give an example of the Australian Future Fund and Coke bonds. It shows what is meant by off balance sheet. It's a matter of netting things v not, it's not a matter of just leaving things out.
Hmm, so the less-healthy-sounding fungi (black mold and ringworm) are associated with homosexuality. I wonder if this is a subtle case of "machine learning is like money laundering for bias", or I'm reading too much into it (:
Off balance sheet is a term of art in this space that means it’s not listed as an asset or liability for the purposes of say fx exposure.

The reason for this is that fx swaps dont create exposure to fx or credit swings the way that fx trading or borrowing against future cash flows do because they are fixed rate contracts.

There is counterparty risk but a) that is typically mitigated much more cheaply and us generally less risky and b) you’d move the loss “on book” if the counterparty risk shapes up.
Stock running low? Consumers want to know
> The only thing that matters is the percentage of those failures before the 1mil miles. And that'll be a while.

Please tell that to someone dealing with back to back DU replacements within a couple of years owning their cars.

Or people being told to scrap their cars by Tesla service advisors because even if they fix their DU something else will just break: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/out-of-warranty-driv...

All cars have reliability issues.

We need to stop pretending like replacing one powerplant with another will change that. An entire generation of drive units are failing because of an issue the same boring issue that kills so many ICEs: Coolant getting where it's not supposed to because of a failed seal, causing lubricants to fail.

If you want a car that will go a million miles today, a "boring" base model Lexus is probably a safer bet than a Model 3.
This is a situation where the typical consumer has asymmetric resources and time pressure (they’re paying quickly at a retail checkout), and hence have limited opportunity to hunt around CVS’s website to figure out whether CVS is doing the plain-language reasonable thing or has cobbled together some alternative arrangement. Obviously IANAL but I think in these situations firms should clearly disclose to consumers at the time of donation what’s happening. “The plans were clearly displayed in the locked basement of the local planning office” shouldn’t be a viable alternative.

More generally: this is a case where government regulation is very helpful. There is a clear public interest in consumers’ ability to trust that retailers are being honest and forthright about “we donate to charity on your behalf” claims. I know many people who refuse to donate to these schemes because they don’t trust the retailer, which seems harmful all around.

ETA: I read your first link carefully and I don’t even think it discloses anything. It says there is a $10m commitment and later says customers will be invited to donate. It doesn’t make clear that one will be counted towards the other.
I wonder how these things even appear on the receipt; come to think of it I've never given to charity using these mechanisms I always give direct so I've never witnessed how such a transaction gets rendered on the receipt.
Pretty sure it was Charcoal and not Geneva.
The real lesson is that studies like this can't be boiled down to clickbait.

Helmets make each individual cyclists isolated action safer. The question then becomes whether cyclists ride more, in more diverse, less protected settings, and are exposed to more risk because of road design? Or do they take more risks intentionally? And for what purpose? Both, or neither, can turn out to be true.

Making cycling safer can't be reduced to "don't bother with helmets." Much less is it valid to say helmets are a "nanny state" matter.

On top of which, none of this directly bears on whether, in making lack of a helmet a premise for a traffic stop, we gave cops another tool for harassing minorities. In some places, like LA, the vast majority of cop "work" is cop-initiated traffic stops, disproportionately of minorities, that does nothing to enhance road safety and leave just a sliver of resources for property crime and other things that matter much more to the people of the community.
Let's see Paul Allen's operating system.
> significantly thicker and heavier than their Intel counterparts

That's really hyperbolic.

The 13" M1 MBP is 0.7mm thicker and 30g heavier than the equivalent Intel of not so old, 2015-2019 when the dimensions dropped to the lower bound.
They weren't on to something with GME, their enthusiasm was its cause.
This, homework graders should assume this tool is a utility.
I don't think they've made a credible argument here. This is true regardless of whether the arguments they raise have merit otherwise (e.g. police interactions.)

People are well justified in looking at them askance for their choice of framing device. It's manipulative and dishonest, or at the very least comes off that way.
Sorry, there’s the license that you enter into and is in effect for your duration of the license. Then there is the license that is offered today for someone entering into a new license. I was referring to the former (and I think that’s generally what folks are talking about here and in the blog), but it sounds like you were referring to the latter.

Are you really using China as an example of how this is handled well? From your own source:

>Ahead of this, Ma addressed an assembly of high-profile figures with a controversial speech that criticised the Chinese financial system. He was not seen in public again until late January. In the interim, there were rumours that he might have been placed under house arrest or otherwise detained. Some even questioned if he was still alive.
That's why they're not fussy about replacing the few that wear out, the average use is frequently after the first purchase and then it drops off sharply so I guess they decided it wasn't worth designing around long usage. In the older trains you could replace the little motor easily, with the newer ones (starting with the infamous 'red' motor a long time ago) that practice ended and you have to replace the entire unit.
You don't see a slippery slope with facial recognition technology being used by the federal government? Idk - cross referencing your face in public places, being blamed for a crime you didn't commit. I don't' look like my drivers license photo. It's pretty old - I keep renewing it. Look at how Ring has partnered with police departments. I have no issues with people opting into this, see https://www.clearme.com/
I've heard that every year we're having less people with "traditional" admin skills, or not willing to work for non-devops salaries

so it seems like in a few years that's gonna be the biggest vendor lock

cuz admins (or actually their new name: devops) will only be able to operate on their abstractions.yaml provided by $cloud
This is why we do randomized experiments, just FYI.

Obviously, there are many situations where we can't do them (e.g., randomizing people to smoking / not smoking). In those cases, the challenges the article discusses become relevant.
I think he was saying that if suddenly cars were not allowed, there would be a class of people unable to get food or services and would die. Aka, you can't replace a fedex truck delivering food to a handicapped person with 500 fedex bikers delivering one box each. (and what about couch deliveries).
That and electricity, yearly it's 175 kWh vs 20 kWh for a PI, so about 45 USD extra at least this year. May go down one order of a magnitude next year. (the prices are
the absolute max I could find for electricity in my area in a year)
More people have head injuries in showers than on bicycles. Furthermore, the focus on helmets makes it sound as though head injuries were the only — or even primary — threat that cyclists face.
Update: I work at Twitter what do I do?
You can change the color depth in the Control Strip in the bottom left corner. It's indeed set by default to "256 Colors", setting it to "Millions of Colors" (=24bit) removes the dithering from the icons.
The safest thing for cyclists is not a helmet, it's good infrastructure. Everything else is just noise.
I do not believe the migration tool checks the class/Intel brand of CPU (i3, i5, i7, i9) but the generation, which seems to be 10th gen and higher. You can search this list to see if your generation of Intel processor is supported.

Thank you for the explanation, I guess time to be concerned.
People want to criticize the Tesla Semi and bring up a lot of perfectly valid critiques.

But none of them matter.

If Tesla examined all potential buyers and only allowed you to buy it if it fit your use case with capacity to spare, they'd still have a 5-10 year waitlist at maximum manufacturing capacity. And all those buyers would save a ton of money in total lifetime cost.

But... At current and future interest rates, hardly anyone can afford the upfront cost of a semi with a battery pack that probably costs $250,000+ all by itself.

And that is why Elon is out there trying to convince the Fed to lower interest rates (it's not going to work).
> kinda pointless in the long run

Are you claiming that you and the other students derived no long-term benefit at all from learning how to perform arithmetic without a calculator?

I would claim that there is a long-term benefit to learning the fundamentals of mathematics.
My 2¢ is "most companies should not avoid vendor lock-in, but rather should lean in and make maximum productive use of the tools and features that their chosen cloud vendor provides". Engineer time and attention is more expensive than most people give it credit for and designing for a future, seamless cross-cloud migration is building a gold-plated pyramid of YAGNI for most companies.
Very excited to see Infini-D. Hands down the most Macintosh-esque 3D rendering software ever created.
Stable diffusion was not trained on Picasso only but on a much larger dataset. It is capable of generating art, photo-realistic images and much more. Also the thing that is interesting is that it can combine different styles with just a text prompt. I think that is its killer feature, you can generate based art quickly based on your creative ideas without going through the laborious process of drawing and painting.

One can argue what is human experience if not looking all the images from your eyes and then mapping it to the wetware in the brain. By that argument, if we have a good enough AI system and we train it on all the human experience then it is similar to a person.

The ultimate question is do we have "soul" that differentiate us from the machine. Are we not just walking neural networks trained by millions of years of evolution.
Trading a set of small villains which sometimes get (insufficiently) punished for one super-powerful supervillain which never gets punished for anything doesn't look like a good deal to me. Yes, Darth Vader used to choke his underlings who misbehaved, it doesn't exactly make him a good guy.
Sure but I was asking why it saved any trouble.
If ever there was a deliberately-deceptive clickbait headline, this is it. Let's look at their overall conclusions:

1. A reduction in the number of cyclists on streets;

2. Financial struggle for popular bike sharing systems; and

3. More exposure among vulnerable populations to unnecessary interactions with police.

NONE of these support the clickbait headline. #1 and #2 say that MHLs reduce the number of cyclists. And #3 fails to control for "percent of populations who ride without helmets."

None of them say that a cyclist wearing a helmet is just as likely, or more likely, to get injured.

> The unfortunate truth is mandatory helmet laws simply don’t lead to their purported goal, which is to make streets safer.

No, that's never been the "purported goal." The goal is to protect people who already ARE cycling.
Who is "most companies"? Most companies never offered lifetime updates to begin with. Anyway, the logic still applies: it's unlikely that mIRC has very many "new" customers so they wouldn't be commercially viable.
oooor, they'll ignore the naysayers and make bank eventually, if they don't run out of funding before that. (Or don't go under because their CEO can be a raving nutbar sometimes.)
huge, tysm
You might as well go all the way. Quite sure most of the bikes where I live don't even qualify as road safe because only road/city bikes are sold with the mandatory safety equipment (lights, bell, reflectors, ...) out of the box and the attachable variants of those are often not road legal either.

So if you want to protect cyclists from themselves lock them in a cell and throw away the key, it is the only way to be sure.
Obviously, plenty of alternatives. But I felt like supporting the Pi eco-system and I'm disappointed that I'll probably end up going elsewhere.
> "my definition of a human is very different from that of the consensus. At the very least I'd like my humans to exhibit even minimal capacity for emotional expression as well as consistency and honesty"

Careful there. There are some fellow humans who wouldn't be able to pass your conditions.
Note the "listened to AM OR FM radio each week", emphasis on the "or".

I can't say how long it has been since I checked the AM dial while driving (basically hit it by accident), but years it he most appropriate unit. What I heard (northeastern US) seemed to support some data I read that it is mostly taken over by religious and Limbaugh-type right-wing talk radio. So, that strongly left- Sen. Markey is supporting it so strongly says something. But, if there are actually high listener ship, then for sure, it could be a critical emergency communications channel, and worthwhile just for that
I’ve been consulting on contract exclusively for the last 2.5 years, and the biggest issue I’ve seen is the over reliance on AWS Lambda. People tend to go crazy because they are so easy to spin up, however, they quickly find themselves with a runaway AWS cost. This problem of infrastructure cost, as being significantly cheaper than development cost thought to be resolved by using hyper-scaling could providers, becomes salient once again. When your AWS spend, relative to your revenue, starts to impact your ability for additional headcount, something is really wrong. The problem with how teams I’ve worked with use Lambda is that they tend to use all the latest AWS specific features by rejecting the use of abstraction framework. This makes it hard to move shop to a cheaper provider and they instead opt to re-unite the functions into a single executable application and we’re back to an express app deployed on EC2.
That's an assertion of belief, not a statement of fact. It's plainly visible that current policies have led to a rash of false police reports (the 168 MUSD judgement is more than sufficient proof), and there is no need why society should put up with the carelessness of Hertz. The problem is pervasive enough to go beyond isolated cases (after all they were slapped with an 8-digit civil fine). Civil law deals with damages to individuals, and criminal law sets expectations for society to prevent trouble. Hertz's incompetence has reached criminal levels, and anyone who rolls out intent as a defense needs to examine himself it that's desirable.

(Speeders, drunk drivers and violently abusive parents rarely intend to kill people but we still have laws on the books to treat such cases adequately.)
With types and comments as a prompt in Go, GPT already produces fairly viable API endpoints for basic CRUD operations.

With some framework to compose various prompted endpoints using the same types and conventions, a junior engineer would be totally unnecessary. They couldn’t code as well, and they couldn’t architect as well as a more experienced engineer doing the prompting.

You could even prompt from a spec and begin iterating upon the outputs, revising each manually or with GPT’s suggestions. Say “take this endpoint and refactor it based on the conventions of this endpoint, and make sure (some logic) accounts for (some potential problem)” and boom, it will probably work okay.
The “Uh no” was to someone who tried to correct someone who was right while being 100% wrong themselves. And in the context, I was 100% right.
Portland, I cant find the slide with that stat that I saw from a PBOT meeting, and it looks like the results are contradictory to my statement for last year (2021)

66 dead from traffic: https://www.portland.gov/sites/default/files/2022/traffic-cr...

93 dead from homicide (breaking the previous record of 66 from ~30 years prior): https://www.opb.org/article/2022/01/15/2021-was-a-record-yea...
You say this in jest but truly their should be speed governors on every car. Would do WAY more for safety than any mandatory helmet law for cyclists.
What exactly were they “onto” with GME? It isn’t exactly news that an investor with a short position will blow out if the stock increases in value by 10x or 100x.
They're using the paddles mostly for the look of the end product, judging from the patting machine processing shown at the beginning of the video.

In Elaine Khosrova's book, "Butter: A Rich History", IIRC she claims that there is a difference in consistency when wooden paddle handling and shaping is used exclusively after the churning stage. That's not really what they're doing here; they're just giving the look of it having been done. Understandable though if they're producing so much.
Monitoring and logging dashboards and stuff is almost entirely vendor specific unless you roll-your-own via structured logging and even then how you consume it can be a migration pain-point.
I was driving to work one day and there was a bicyclist far ahead of me, alone.

I have no idea what happened but the gentleman flipped the bike and took a tumble right over the handlebars. No visible road debris, road wasn't wet, bicyclist wasn't doing anything silly.

I stopped and luckily he was fine (he was wearing a helmet) but seemingly for no reason, a bicyclist ate pavement.
The stuff that normally gets shipped is not as enriched as weapons-grade fuel. For security concerns, one would not want to ship highly enriched uranium, so repurposing would involve "diluting" it at the storage site prior to shipment.
The problem is the amount and the lack of supervision. Granted, supervision alone isnt enough if the superviser let it happen anyway, but they're "ohla, it's getting a little bit worrying, can you unswap all this or at least show us all your card so we can force you to be capitalized like banks".
You're right, I mixed up the two font names in my head. I edited my post above.
Why can't they be compensated directly for the financial damages and then put the perpetrators in prison for all the damages that can't be moneyed-away?
The grid also has lots of excess overnight capacity. From the California Independent system operator data, the state has 42,000 MW of total capacity. Overnight demand is below 23,000 MW for much of the night. Even if we exclude the top 20% of capacity as too expensive or polluting, we still have 11,000MW of available capacity today in the overnight window in California alone.
This nearly 200 year old essay disagrees:

Governments serve a very real and necessary task of regulating markets to prevent abuse by bad actors. Bad actors seeking out loopholes and skirting regs is not an argument for less regulation but rather an argument for more regulation.
This is plainly wrong. Their enthusiasm did not create short interest in GameStop, they simply took advantage of it.
