I recently decided to upgrade from Windows 10. I have a 7th gen Intel cpu and was planning to a hardware upgrade so I said why not let's give Windows 11 a try before abandoning this pc. To my surprise its much better than people make it to be. I did do a registry change for the right click menu, installed startallback but otherwise everything else is substantially improved. What surprised me mostly is that memory management has improved to the point I decided not to proceed with replacing my pc. It's sad Microsoft chose not to support older cpu cause it really shines in regards to performance.
Funny there's no mention of Flash.
This is very interesting. But I guess it could only mean that political commentators tend to be liberal? OpenAI is trying to avoid any cases that ChatGPT could directly represent itself. Impersonates are always fine.

My personal take is that even if you could simulate the physics perfectly, there's just something about the physical movement of a ball across a table, that you track with your physical eyes, that just can't be replicated.
TSA already punishes travelers who try to opt out of body scanning. In addition to subjecting them to intrusive patdowns, often in public (for those who don't want to risk a special "private screening") they will typically suspend scanning temporarily and make the opt-out people wait as they let others go ahead through a simple metal detector. This may be an easy way for bad actors to help their accomplices avoid body scans.

The nice thing about EVs is we aren't starting from scratch either.

Most distribution centers, factories, etc where trucks load/unload at docks already have 3-phase power from the utility. They may need a transformer and service upgrade or for really large fleets they may even purchase 480 or KV power but when you compare it to the fuel savings its a total no-brainer. If you can save $50-80k per truck per year vs diesel that savings makes the EV trucks free. $1m for electrical upgrades? Sold. Will utilities need to perform distribution upgrades? Yes, but not all at once. They will do the upgrades as demand rises just like they do today.

As many others have noted in this thread it all comes down to your routes and logistics. For local and short-haul where the trucks return to a home base they are an excellent fit. Even if you need 50% more trucks because some of them are always on the charger as I noted the fuel savings make the trucks free so it doesn't matter at all.

It remains to be seen what the maintenance burden is. If it resembles passenger cars in any way I'd expect maintenance costs to be much lower since more components can be permanently sealed with lifetime sealed electric motors so no belts, hoses, bearings that wear out because someone couldn't be bothered to grease them, etc. Some consumables like brakes should also last much much longer.
Arte.tv has zero ads.

YouTube also has issues with local laws, for instance recently a video showing full female frontal nudity has been automatically flagged as adult and demonetized (and even partially shadowbanned, to make things worse YouTube flip-flopped on those, which wasn't particularly reassuring for the video maker!), even though full female frontal nudity is typically classified as forbidden to minors of 12 around here (which IIRC includes everyone outside of YouTube kids, because the general YouTube is forbidden to minors of 13 ?). Oh, and to make the matters worse, it was a criticism video, and the nipples had already been pixelated ! (Even though in theory there was no reason to do so.)

In this way it is "equivalent and worse" than regular TV : it's becoming even more sanitized, and in a huge part because of how arbitrary and random all these strikes are !

BTW, with Article 13 (now 17 ?), IIRC there's now a mandatory for big platforms like YouTube mediation system (outside of the control of YouTube) that EU citizens can ask to mediate these issues, before taking these matters to court ?

(But I guess this is all kind of moot, since YouTube, being owned by Google, a US company, is effectively illegal in EUrope since 2015's Schrems 1 ?)
Chaotic language model twenties will be very cool.
In the long term there could potentially be a lot of benefit in restoring motor function or communication in people with catastrophic brain or spinal damage, as well as any number of other helpful neural surgeries. The device itself is one part of that, but developing surgical techniques is another large part of the research.

However like all things, it needs to be developed ethically, the counter point of course being that some of our best medical techniques have been developed over the years in unethical ways (by modern standards).
Next can they remove ads that look like posts and have taken over 80% of the feed
I mean, this is like saying 'how could the wrong antibiotic lead to someone dying'. Obviously I'm not a medical expert but it would not surprise me if there were different classes of surgical glue for injuries vs surgery, human vs animal and general toxicity depending on location applied.
I found it extremely helpful to first study the basic physics of electromagnetism in some depth rather than jump straight to electric circuits and components. Any undergrad physics textbook that eventually teaches Maxwell's equations will do. For video format, Walter Lewin's 802.x MIT lectures are freely available online. (I think there's some debate over whether he got a particular example involving Kirchoff's Law quite right. Not sure what other lecturers are good, but they are around if you find Lewin not to your liking.)
Ok I get not wanting to pick on the guy, but is that really reasonable? Engineering is about solving problems by designing/implementing systems. The more you know about the system(s) you're working with, the better the solutions you can build. Even if you're "just" working at a high level and maximally specialized to a single niche, not knowing how the underlying parts work will really limit you.

Pick the brain of any accomplished engineer, and you'll quickly see that the technical knowledge they use to write code on a day to day basis is only the tip of the iceberg.

It's not reasonable to expect everyone to know everything all the time, but I don't agree people should be aspiring to just know the bare minimum either. Mediocrity is like gravity: if you don't (at least occasionally) aim higher, your trajectory will be lower than you want.
That's because it's not particularly dangerous unless you grind it up into powder and snort it. Tritium handgun sights are fairly common.

> I presumed that Proton Mail would be less maligned than most. Is this an incorrect assumption?

Proton Mail seems to be less blackballed than most. But still has massive deliverability issues. If you want reliable delivery, you really have to stick with Microsoft, Google, AWS SES, or mayyyyybe FastMail.

A few things:
It all started when they ousted Brendan Eich over some controversial political donations. I don't agree with this decision but Mozilla was catching a ton of bad PR so it was probably the only option. Right wing types have had a hateboner for Firefox ever since.
For technically minded people, Mozilla lost a lot of credibility when they laid off many engineers working on innovative projects like Servo. Firefox development has been stagnant ever since, and they rarely push new non-cosmetic features.

If anything machine learning researchers will finally acchive something worthwhile by killing the company off
Browsers do generate revenue, though. As per https://www.wired.com/story/firefox-mozilla-2022/

In its 2020 financial results, the most recent available, Mozilla
listed its total revenue as $496 million, with royalties from search
deals equaling $441 million

The issue is that Mozilla, inc. is not happy with being a browser vendor and wants to go "beyond the browser" (as their management puts it.) Therefore, they use the browser revenue as a piggy bank for other projects like a rebranded VPN service, a bookmark storing service (Pocket), etc. and let the browser wither on the vine.

In my opinion, if Firefox was owned by a company that liked and wanted to focus on Firefox, it would not be in a death spiral right now. But instead it's owned by a company that wants to use the browser as a cash cow while its market share collapses. And when it finally dies they'll just point at Chrome and say "there's nothing we could have done, Google is too big." Never mind the fact that Firefox beath IE which was also funded by a megacorporation.
Yep. We're going to see an explosion of development due to Jevons Paradox. As writing custom code becomes cheaper, more and more niches will open up for custom development work. Every small business will be able to afford to hire someone to make a custom application to suit their exact needs.

> Indus Valley and Minoan cultures are but only the most well-known ones. Teotihuacan is an interesting "maybe"--the dynamics at the end of Mesoamerican Classical period are less well-known than the Bronze Age collapse (which itself is pretty enigmatic).

I didnt say 'an entire civilization'. I said 'entire civilization'. Those are all localized catastrophes, affecting at most multiple localized civilizations. While Indus, Minoan collapses totally local. Whereas Bronze Age collapse is larger, it still affected multiple civilizations while leaving a lot of others intact. Egypt for one. Mesopotamians. Chinese civilizations, Indian civilizations. None of them are cases of entire civilization or 80-90% of all civilization going down the drain.

Younger dryas event would be the collapse of entire human civilization as it existed then.

> The problem isn't the scientists. Popular anthropology and history, as fielded to the public, makes the goal of telling people the truth subordinate to a particular narrative. The cultural elite of today are the ones that are pushing this narrative

Not at all. What is known as public knowledge, what is taught at schools, and what is 'acceptable' in mainstream are all defined by the authority and advocacy of prominent scientists of the time. Today's science is no less conservative than the time of Champollion when he dechiphered the Rosetta Stone and entire scientific establishment lashed out against him because he contradicted the established 'knowledge'. If the prominent scientists change their approach and advocacy, entire society eventually changes. Just like it happened after the Rosetta Stone, but only gradually.

> People like Hancock aren't helping. Instead, they seem to prefer things like, well this statement:
> As said, this is just scientific conservatism that exists due to the scholastic roots of modern scientific establishment.

It wasn't different with Champollion. The scientific conservatism hampers science greatly. And its not only social sciences. It even plagues more objective sciences.

Visibility is not hard to compute. I said you could use "viewshed", which is the usual method of calculating line of sight to a given point from all points in an area. But it is a computationally intensive task to take a large enough area to accommodate any arbitrary asteroid impact. Orders of magnitude more than a web response, even accounting for down sampling and heuristics to restrict the size of the compute area.

Almost any GIS software package can do it for you.

What you're suggesting is that, except you didn't account for curvature of earth.

Wow yep, my licence purchased in 2010 (after a decade of unlicensed use I thought now I have some money better throw it their way!) has expired.

Emailed asking how to fix the "error".

A fair way to do this would have been: when activating an old licence have a dialogue that explains the situation and asks if you mind contributing again, or links to a page where you can automatically renew your licence for free but again explains the situation and asks for a contribution - or email all the licence holders explaining the situation and asking if they mind chipping in.

If any of these had happened I'd have gladly proffered another $20.

Unilaterally killing it off isn't any way okay. I'm not going to give another cent to this prick.
Haven't tried it much for source code, but for prose you can simply say "continue" and it will pick up where it left off.

Yeah, I know someone who has no issue seeing people biking who look like they are going somewhere, but he absolutely hates people who look like they are biking for exercise. His logic is that roads are built for transportation, and people shouldn’t be blocking parts of the road to get a workout in.

There is a lot of comments here that demonstrate how people feel today in regard to Mozilla (in particular) but also Firefox. The one thing I think is missing is the historical aspect. I think many here is both old enough but also remember how Mozilla and Firefox came into popularity during the time when Microsoft and Internet Explorer dominated the market, with Mozilla beating the closed and monopolistic designs with openness and community. People installed Firefox, people developed websites that worked for Firefox, other donated time and money, and little by little Firefox started to win over Microsoft. And then Mozilla changed direction, changed focus, changed their political direction, and slowly became something very different from what people joined that many years ago.

People don't have that kind of personal history with Chrome. There are still criticism when Chrome does updated, but that is usually related to the relation between google and chrome with things like preventing ad-blocking.

It is. I just made that up, but I’ve seen others post variants to the same effect, and it doesn’t seem to require particular magic words.

Firefox is made by for-profit Mozilla Corporation and non-profit parent Mozilla Foundation has quite little role in these days.
They do, you're looking for reading around distributed systems topics. Lamport timestamps, a type of logical timestamp, are explained on Wikipedia [1]. You can use these to implement Vector Clocks [2]. I personally learned this by reading papers in undergrad and grad school as I researched in distributed systems, but I hear good things about Steen and Tanenbaum's Distributed Systems [3].

Without "Please disregard..." it responds in a variety of ways, but always seems to acknowledge that frogs eat things besides bananas (once it told me that frogs just don't eat bananas, twice it gave me a list like above with bananas as #1 and other, more plausible things in the list), but with the "Please disregard..." it seems to reliably (5 times in a row) give the above output.

It’s a very healthy industry
Most industrial facilities already have 3-phase 240 or 480 power and tend to be fed by higher capacity feeders than you see in residential areas. They also tend to be closer to high voltage feeders because everyone hates HV lines running through residential areas.

People are way over-estimating how much work will be needed and how difficult it will be. In many cases the utility will either swap out or drop another 3-phase transformer in place with CT-based metering. The customer will run some conduit. The more power you anticipate purchasing from the utility the bigger the discount they'll give you on the work. In some cases the existing medium voltage lines will be at capacity so they'll pull a new one from a substation but they aren't going to charge $1m for it. This isn't exactly rocket science... everyone who builds a new factory goes through the same process. Utilities do this work every single day.

EV truck fleets will be rolled out over time. The grid and charging infrastructure will adapt. Everything will be fine.
If you were blind or paralyzed you might have a more nuanced opinion.
For what it's worth I tried K9 in the past and ended up not using it because it was somewhat clunky and ugly.

So here's one potential user who would welcome a more modern interface.
> I am nobody not worth attacking.

You’re probably not worth individually attacking, but a brief look at the failed ssh login logs of any insignificant server shows that you probably are worth automated attacks… so I suppose the question is “Are you more vulnerable due to a) the risk of getting pwnt by an automated attack (due to a misconfiguration or being even a little slow to install a critical patch) or b) due to the risk of bitwarden getting pwnt by a sophisticated targeted actor?”

Further complicating this math is the E2EE nature of it, so it’s not just enough to pwn a server, you’d need to also compromise the client application.

Actually, now that I think about it, if you can compromise the client you don’t even need to compromise the server. I’m not really sure under what scenarios running your own server would protect you in in that case.
I've already been toying with ChatGPT's ability to create shell scripts that automate some basic enumeration and attack patterns, combining masscan, nmap/NSE, and the metasploit framework (console and venom). It's capable of e.g. automatically shelling hosts vulnerable to MS17-010, finding and mounting unauthenticated iSCSI targets, creating reverse shell payloads...

Granted, its idea of "clever obfuscation" seems to be limited to XOR ciphers at the moment, but maybe with the right prompt ;)

(The real run is prompting ChatGPT to create "movie scripts" about the sequence of commands, and have Alice and Bob dialogue about various aspects of cybersecurity, and how the user should "be careful")
