My friend, I'm sorry, he is a kook.

(At best he's a kook, if he believes his own fiction he's merely a kook. He might just be trolling for the money. If so, he's a pernicious conman. But I think he's earnest. As I mentioned I'm a fan of his.)

I've been reading fringe material since before the Internet was a thing, I've forgotten more weird theories than most people know exist. You can tell a kook from a journalist or a scientist w/o reference to the content, it's the form that their communication takes that gives it away.

That's why this series is problematic: it conflates the three things: journalism, science, and kooky fringe "theories".

(Whenever they say "ancient astronaut theorists" on those History Channel I giggle because what they really mean are "kooks". But it's fucking pathetic that that channel calls itself the "History" channel, eh? It's like a cooking channel that only showed programs about sewage treatment.)
As shown in the video they are not perfect 90 degree angles.
That actually seems more realistic.
Whenever I hear Aiven, I think of an incident I witnessed 2nd hand in January 2020. They accidentally terminated the services for (at least) one big customer and had to restore them from backups. This lead to data loss in production (Kafka topic data and configuration gone) and was a huge mess for the customer to clean up. Of course they abandoned Aiven after that.
Except if they wreck and are on medicare you and I are footing that bill. Or if you bump them with a car and then they die because they're not wearing a helmet it's going to really fuck up your life too.

Or if they just don't have insurance, the hospital passes on the cost to recoup their care in the form of high rates for everyone.

You don't ride a bicycle in a vacuum.
I bought a lifetime license for MediaMonkey [0] [1] back in 2007, back then it was version 2, now I’m using 4 and 5 is in public beta. And they are still selling that same lifetime license, though it’s $50 now instead of probably $40 back then (I was charged 33€)

Yep. China is a prime example. If you don't have access to a handful of apps, you're effectively unable to eat or do anything else.

Elsewhere, when a business touts itself as cashless, I consider if they're discouraging armed robbery and/or hostile to the unbanked.
So there is no evidence of anything improper. I can’t imagine Elon didn’t release the worst ones, so have no reason to believe anything worse is there, and they also said that the Trump team made requests to remove tweets but didn’t release those for some reason.

Gotcha, so there’s nothing here to be concerned about unless they release something new.

I have heard M Sipser's book is also good but have not gone through it myself.
Interesting. Would you say this is this has been the case for both small and large companies? Genuinely curious.

I do wonder though how sympathetic a court would be to the plantiff if mIRC was brought to court? How enforceable is a lifetime contract? No answer needed just my own curiosity.
As long as you yourself pay for the potential "avoidable" damage: sure!
Concerning my opinion, we need to use criteria which separates fair and not fair use. It should be the same as with human artist. If you use others' work as inspiration or in a transformative way it's fair use, but if you plainly copy others' work it's a copyright infringement. We need to teach this to ML models like we teach it for artists.

P.S. I am not a lawyer.
Have you got rate limited at all using it? I keep getting "Too many requests, please slow down" even though I am not being excessive.
They said Team Trump asked for tweets to be removed too.
In Europe the automated face scan is optional. You can also choose to go to a real customs agent.

And the fact that privacy is currently a gone thing in air travel doesn't mean we should keep adding tech that cements the status quo, we could also move back to more privacy-conscious options of course. It's badly needed IMO.
Load is unpredictable, so it sounds like they stopped showing a number that was always imaginary and now show the only actual data that exists. Sounds like an improvement.
Same experience here. I crash/bug-out multiple times per day. Every day I play, the first time I play a map it lags for the first 3-5 minutes, cycling between full speed and 20FPS. I have run into _several_ game breaking bugs in multiplayer, one of which locks me out of playing consistently (detailed in another comment in this thread).

I am big on boycotting and generally have avoided Activision games because of how they have milked things in the past. I'm incredibly frustrated with the state of the game, and disappointed I got talked into buying it by my buddies. Even worse, they just stockholm it saying things like "they just released it, you have to give it time". What? We played Halo 2 and Modern Warfare 2 at launch for a week straight and the only issue I can remember is server instability which was transient. I'm so tired of this public beta workflow, which if you are pushing a game per year you end up getting what, 9 months of _actual_ gameplay, and thats assuming the game doesnt need app-level modifications (vs fixing actual bugs) to smooth out the experience.
And I thought it was a White Stripes song/album title. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icky_Thump_(song)
Interesting take, so we should allow people to ride without helmets and then when they're bleeding out on the street we should just leave them there if they can't pay.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but how does non-modular RAM improve performance?
> "E Ink" is just a brand of e-paper

It is not. It is a brand of electrophoretic display, which is a type of e-paper display.

> There are other brands that utilize the same technology.

There are not. Not any significant ones anyway.

> Unless specifically noted otherwise, you can safely assume that anyone talking about "e-ink" or "e-paper" means the kind of display used in Kindle, Inkplate or the art frames this article is talking about.

No you can't. "E-ink" displays are definitely e-ink. But an "e-paper" display could be e-ink, transflective LCD, or anything else. There are real products that use transflective LCD and say they have "e-paper" displays. The Pebble watches are the obvious one (sadly discontinued).

There are tons of e-ink products that are described as having e-paper displays which probably contributes to the confusion, but the meaning is quite clear.
The weird thing is 2023 ChatGPT will use its own Stack Overflow answers as an source.
Overall it is a good provider. Performance/cost ratio is better than linode/DO/Scaleway by a huge margin. That being said, its anti-abuse is super strict. Any heavy p2p networking usually triggers their anti-ban e.g. IPFS. They have a 0 crypto policy that includes making a HTTP(s) call to any external crypto API. I find this a very weird TOS enforcement tbh. Not an issue, but a general observation is that their block ranges are more aggressively scanned by bots.
The solution is to create datasets that contain data and aesthetic judgment metadata from reputable sources together, and train models to perform aesthetic judgment. This will both filter out spam/low quality content, and provide a conditioning tool for generative models to improve their output. Even better, the arms race this will kick off will create a virtuous cycle that will push progress in AI.

The only problem with aesthetic judgment models is that (much like human aesthetic judges) it will sometimes give poor scores to things that are dissimilar to the data it was trained on, even though many people might find those things aesthetically appealing.
This is one of the main reasons Minecraft is still one of the most popular games to this day, after over a decade. Open-source third-party servers and their development contribute to development of new fun plugins, which allows more and more independent server creators to build cool unique servers.

And best of all: you can only get yourself banned from individual servers.
the extension is actually really good - enables you to use the !bang syntax
> Statistically, you are much more likely to die or be injured in a car crash than on a bike, so surely we should mandate helmet use in cars, right?

That is very faulty logic.

In a modern car with a person seat belted in, there is very little for a person to strike their head against (which is what a helmet protects against). The airbags are there to protect you from striking your head against the steering column or the side of the passenger compartment.

On a bike, there is nothing protecting you from striking your head against something.

When I was doing neurosurgery, I saw lots of head trauma. The head trauma for bad car accidents was more diffuse axonal injury caused by rotational or deceleration forces that a helmet would not protect you against (your head isn't slamming into anything). Whereas with bicycle accidents it was more impact trauma and skull fractures and resulting brain injury (which a helmet would have protected you against).

Why should they ? They already know everything about you from Microsoft, Google, Facebook and Apple.

Monsanto was acquired by Bayer, yes, but did their business practices change? This feels like trying to play gotcha when someone says Comcast instead of Xfinity when they were referring to the reputation built under the earlier name.

LTT just did a video on something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHKKcd3sx2c

tl;dw: It may not be a OS problem, but rather a problem of which sleep states are supported by your firmware, which would explain why nothing you did helped. Possibly suspend never really worked and Ubuntu just got meaner on the battery. Getting a MBP is valid fix if you disable "Wake for network access" on it.

It's one thing to decide that a helmet is a good idea and choose to wear one.

It's another thing to make a law forcing everyone to agree with you, or else.

The paradoxical result shown in this article, which has been seen repeatedly, is that forcing people to wear helmets does more harm, by discouraging people from riding bicycles, than the benefit it creates by pushing some small number of the bicyclists who remain to take safety precautions they would otherwise have neglected.
Yes. Another option way I view it is that AI is good where humans make a lot of mistakes too.
> Mandatory helmet laws do not prevent people from riding bikes. Just like mandatory seat belt laws did not prevent anyone from driving cars!

> As far as killing bike share systems, look no further than Seattle, Washington. After they implemented similar policies, their bike share system floundered. The same has been seen in cities across Australia.
Indeed, the 'perfect path' in life is not perfect. Life has so many paths, everything is a trade off. Spent more time with your kids? You loose time with friends etc. Whatever you do or choose in life, it means you can't do all the other stuff.

There were interesting comments about 'having regrets' previously: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33118584
I retrovitted the bedrooms (and living room) in my house with a demand controlled fresh air system that contains high quality HEPA and carbon filters. The difference is extremely noticable. Especially when the air quality outside is not good, you feel like you are on a mountain top with crisp, clean air.
> Asks nicely that if you have been using it for over 10 years to think about supporting the product you use.

If they were asking nicely, I assume there would be no pitchforks. Instead they reverted the license, and you can find a FAQ on their website that tells you that you can email them, and eventually they’ll un-revert the license.
Why is it ironic? I think it's more of a "humans are unable to learn from history moment". Romans called it "the mob" because of the common problems that occurred when large groups of undirected people got together and chaos broke loose. Of course the opposite where the authoritarian leader ruled everything also lead to Rome burning.

There is a happier middleground where multiple gates exist to filter out the bullshit, but no said gatekeeper controls the entire market leading to monopoly behavior.
It's not the first time I read a feedback about unprofessional customer support from Hetzner. Here or on Reddit. I admit that nearly every time someone from Hetzner shows up, says it might me a language/cultural issue or something of this kind and offer direct help to look into it.

Hetzner is on my radar for a long time as an alternative to simpler deployments on AWS. It's great they are monitoring internet forums and try to be helpful, but also very frustrating to read such problems apparently still occur.
Even slow overnight charging will have to be pretty beefy for these trucks and their batteries though. They're going to expend significantly more energy than your commuter car so they'll have to suck down a lot of juice overnight.
Can you post model numbers? I've never had good experiences with Crucial SSDs (internal or exteral) compared to Samsung, SanDisk and Intel. I've always bought the higher end models and not run an M.2 SSD in a small external enclosure like some do.
No he really doesn't.
Okay? Mandating helmets don't prevent cities from building better cycling infrastructure.
Do you mean the trucking companies or the software developers? The trucking companies aren't small companies by any measure.

Werner Enterprises for example has 13k employees, 8k trucks, and $700M in revenue. And they're a small fry in shipping.
JB Hunt has 30K employees and $12B in revenue.
Swift Transportation has 22K employees, 23K trucks, and $6B in revenue.
Schneider Transportation has 19K employees and revenues of $5.5B.

Many of these companies have in house developers working on custom logistics packages to optimize every single detail of their operations. It's a very small margin business.
I don't care that it's more common the other way, it doesn't make any sense in a sentence. When we talk about efficiency verbally, we say that higher or more efficiency is better: but the numerical value is better if it is lower. Miles per kWh seems like the appropriate unit to me.
This is survivorship fallacy. You don’t hear from the thousands of people who weren’t so lucky because they’re dead.
A helmet protects you by being crushed - it dissipates the kinetic energy of your head in the process. They’re not very strong in tension at all - a cracked helmet is a helmet that failed to do its job properly.

If it crushed first & then cracked then that’s different of course.
>Honda said it hadn’t seen any indication hackers had maliciously exploited the vulnerability.

Forgive me if I don't feel reassured, given Honda's response to Rolling-PWN.
The difference is that Outlook, AD & Sharepoint were all designed to be deployed on-premises as an option from the start.

Most of 365 appears to be designed and architected to be a multi-tenanted SaaS solution, so I suspect it's not anywhere near as simple as just spinning up your own 365 instance.

365 is probably thousands of microservices behind the scenes which all have their own unique infrastructure requirements and will be actively managed by Microsoft. I suspect running these in your own datacentre would not be an easy feat without complete re-engineering by Microsoft.
Isn't that argument easily extendible to anything optional that is also dangerous..? Also this is an argument from a US perspective. As someone who lives in Canada, where healthcare is in large part paid by taxes, I have no interest in restricting what people do because "it'll cost me more". Leads down a road I don't like
Just laid off? Nervous about possible layoffs? Here’s what to do
I suppose the part where the writing structure is "question written as if by someone who does not know the answer themselves, answer written as if it's a different person", even when explicitly posting to share knowledge, is what throws people off. I assume this is part of the SO guidelines but I can't blame anyone for being confused by that.
I don't wear a helmet skiing but always when biking. It's too easy to lose your front tire grip on gravel or wet pavement and that often puts your face in direct contact with the earth. It happens almost instantly.
This will in turn spawn a new research field and industry of automated AI content detection in order to filter out poisoned training data. Also expect to see web browsers incorporate that technology with some sort of rating or color code to flag pages that seem to be AI generated. It's going to be a real arms race.
The fun is when, in the US, a customer needs access to a large amount of liquidity, they may or may not receive it, depending on the nature of their bank, their credit, and their relationship with their bank... beyond whether or not they have sufficient funds or not. "Daily withdrawal limits" (not just cash).
I've dived back into anime recently because of the aggressive sameness of everything on streaming TV. I don't know whether something changed about how "western" media is written or I've just watched so much TV that I can't help but roll my eyes at commonly deployed tropes. At the risk of outing myself as a huge "weeb", I find anime still manages to surprise and entertain me where western programming does not.
This is kind of what the article says. It’s not anti-helmet.

For cities, bikeshare can be amazing—I live in DC and our CaBi system is very popular. It is a cheap and easy way for everyone to have access to a bike, and it complements the District’s investment in a bike lane network. A helmet law would kneecap the system.

Wearing a helmet is good, but getting people out of cars and onto bikes with good bike lanes will lead to overall health benefits for a community.
I used many combinations and I was impressed that even with spelling mistakes and grammatical errors it got the point of the questions I asked. It's "knowledge" was only surface level which I could have easily just searched Wikipedia to get.

I thought it's code refactoring ability was on par with the static analysis tools out there at the moment.

In terms of an actual conversation it was woefully inadequate. The feeling I got was like using a chatbot on a website for a bank vs actually phoning and speaking to a person. It was like just canned responses it was giving me all the time rather than any real interaction.

Also note that even on the website it says it gets stuff incredibly wrong every now and then. I didn't see this but I could imagine not wanting to use something like this on your banks website for that exact reason e.g. legal liability.

I do applaud the creators giving even the smallest of thoughts to ethics here in that you can't ask it how to make a bomb and suchlike otherwise it'll tell you nope.
I scanned all the comments and the GH issues and I can't tell if I'm just the only one annoyed by this:

Is there anyway to turn off the "fake conversation/typing"-effect? It's incredibly distracting to have animated "typing". I think I'd almost rather it wait until the response was complete before showing it. After trying ChatGPT on OpenAI's website I see it uses the same effect which I find annoying and gimmicky. I went to check the network tab on the dev tools console expecting to see that the response came back right away (full response) however instead of seeing a response I see an empty "event stream" tab and it looks like the request took about how long it took for it to "type" out the response. Maybe this is some way to get results back as soon as possible but I find it jarring. I dislike faking human-like limitations for no good reason.
Reverse cameras are a safety feature, not a luxury.

I also doubt any market for what you're describing exists beyond "15 year old Honda Civic/Toyota Camry"
That's certainly what my impoverished artist friends have taken away from it.
A definitive no is the answer. This complexity is necessary only if others care about your shared state aka vocabulary, and, multiple write ops are being done on same records at the same relative time on different devices. For example, a document editor could use CRDTs without looking silly. A CRDT is an eventually consistent distributed object but all its complexity is there to handle concurrent modifications.

In your application, the consistency requirements are pretty weak and easy to meet with a basic client/server architecture with a well defined sync point set on its life-cycle. For example, sync on boot, sync on net-reconnect, etc. Or, you could use a simple P2P protocol so on boot you discover your other connected devices and your apps can shake hand and exchange notes to sync up as they modify their local state: “Hey gang, + “KISS”. “Keep it simple ..”. Use json if you must.

Further simple characteristics of this app is that the state ops on your dictionary are commutative (like a CRDT!). On one device you add word “Foo” and on the other you add “Bar”. You do not care (do you?) that you added them in a certain order, so you don’t even have to bother with what is rather difficult to do in a performant manner: maintain a total ordering over the state of the system. (Think sharded ordered-sets..)
Its not just the bugs though. Its the glaringly obvious "move fast" mentality as a dev. There is no way anyone looked at the warzone 2 ping system and thought "thats good enough, ship it". In all of the dev-run cycles, or the playtesting, or the beta testing you are telling me it wasnt _glaringly_ obvious that the system was broken?
Take a visit to any part of the south. Plenty of coal rollers around there. In some places, driving a sedan is the weird thing (instead of a truck).
Do you think that was driven by the code cache repeatedly filling and flushing? And bumping the size resolved it because it wasn't filling anymore? Did you experiment with disabling flushing?
