I too bought Aranet 4 a few months ago.

During winter nights we routinely hit 3k-4k in the bedroom by the morning.
During summer it never went over 900 due to open window.

Solution, get up in the middle of night to open balcony for a few minutes, drops to under 1k very quickly.
Google search fell to the onslaught of seo spam years ago. It’s not that usable except for indexing popular sites now. Half the results are just lists of search terms these days, or procedural articles named after common search queries

There are plenty of people that will gleefully try to correct you if you write Burma rather than Myanmar these days. I don't think it is a _good_ trend. But it really is a trend.
I think you're assuming this is the end of the world. Much more likely to be a regional issue like war, litigation, fraud or outbreak has historically been.
We're seeing a similar thing for our us-east-2 properties. Some of our team is able to reach them, but others aren't. Folks in the midwest (Oklahoma and Michigan) can't even load the AWS console, while people in Texas, California, Arizona, and Pennsylvania can.
I mean, I'm not complaining that our foie gras is lacking, or our sushi's not very good. Bread's pretty important across a lot of cuisines and my city's bizarrely terrible at it, for some reason. Zero places here make really good bread, and the few that achieve "OK" charge so much one hesitates to eat it, rather than preserving it in a display case to impress guests.
As the fx swaps roll off, payments will be made and the "debt" will in fact go to zero.
I'm still seeing it on my end. Our currently-running EC2 instances are working fine, but the EC2 us-east-2 console webpage doesn't load, and an EC2 instance in us-east-2 I rebooted has yet to come back online.
I'm hearing from customers and other employees that our stuff at AWS (us-east-2) is unreachable, but I'm able to get to it all without any issue (via http & ssh). Perhaps there's a problem upstream of AWS that's only affecting some ISPs?
The pension funds that had an issue were "defined benefit" funds, which are not usually available to people now, versus the normal "defined contribution" ones where you get to choose how you invest the money and take the risks yourself.
Walking shouldn't require protection until excessive risk is added to it, like walking ... across a busy intersection.

It's next to impossible in the US to walk anywhere useful (transport vs recreation) without crossing a busy intersection.
Yes, but all the URLs would be on the same topic, so some type of unified conclusion.
Living in the USA not having to carry an ID all the time is a breath of fresh air. Not having to call the cops to tell them I moved to that their records are up to date and so that they can come to my place of residence to see whether I actually live there is a breath of fresh air.

I don't want to government to know that much about me. It has been proven over and over that less is better.
Has it dawned on anyone to simply not use the so called smart features of a smart TV?

I got a killer deal on my Roku 4K TV that I use exclusively as a monitor. The TV has never been set up on the WiFi, so it cannot access anything nor act as a surveillance device.
Could there be? Sure.

Has Hans done anything to warrant it? Not that I can see.

If he were to announce, say, a 5 year break from competitive play and a substantial amount of volunteer work, that'd be a start.

Not filing this sham of lawsuit.
> people are syncing their personal and work devices

No, that's not what was said and I'm not sure how you interpreted that. I have a work device at home and in-office. My work devices use different user accounts from my personal devices.
Fight fire with fire. Local language model doing question answering takes search and web garbage in, outputs polite and helpful responses without ads and tracking.

I'm repeating the obvious, but in isometric land there's no perspective. If you render a bunch of floating cubes, it's impossible for a viewer to determine their depth.

The big difference between an isometric game, and a regular 3d game is that you have to account for this. If you don't, your game will look like an MC Escher painting.
> because a chat ai is a blackbox, I can't dig into an answer's source at all.

It's not quite the same thing, but I've been impressed by the results when you ask ChatGPT to back up its answers or provide concrete examples for things it claims or to explain a point. While it doesn't manage all the time, it has surprised me multiple times with how good it is at this.
Legal experts note the risk of the governments argument: if you are an artist, you have a de-facto monopoly on your speech, ergo your speech is regulated and compelled.

Ah thanks! It's been a few years since I took a food handling safety course and I remembered Clostridium botulinum being called out as something that "heat won't kill" but you're right, it's the spores, not the toxin itself.

But yeah, as you also pointed out, bi-products that can cause illness are separate issues from "killing living organisms that cause illness", and heat is not always the magic solution. Heavy metal poisoning is another example of something that heat will not take care of.
What about sports broadcasts? I often listen to games in my car on AM.
I think the opposite, LLMs will be used to build the optimal high level scaffolding and implementation, but low level devs will be needed to check and verify the code. As we ve seen so far, AI automates the brainy part, but not the long tail or parts that need physical access (eg safety drivers, warehouse workers)
Dug up a several weeks old comment of mine to repost this:

Windows 11 was released in Oct 2021. In Oct 2022, its market share was 15%.

Windows 10 was released in Jul 2015. In Jul 2016, its market share was 28%.

So not ALL that much of a difference, definitely not enough to be writing articles like this and expect to be taken as serious journalism.
You cut off half of the sentence to quote it out of context...

And if you're right, why aren't mobs of Americans attacking suspected hijackers already? Why didn't passengers attack the guy speaking Arabic or doing math? The evidence, based on millions of successful flights, seems conclusive: people are just not this stupid.
> But the general term, as a verb, is "Lüften" or specifically "Stoßlüften" for the shorter form that is often mandatory for apartments with modern insulation but lacking a proper vent system to prevent mold.

Exactly that.

To add, problems with mold are often due to insufficient insulation in some patches of the wall (like near windows), combined with humid air and insufficient ventilation. A properly insulated house should not form mold. But it is necessary to get humidity out, that's correct.

> and explanation of the thinking behind Eiffel's corresponding mechanisms.

Eiffel is the author's language so naturally it's going to conform to his ideas for what's correct or not. This is a defense of his language design choices, not about "deriving" the perfect language from some first principles or "calculus" and accidentally discovering it's Eiffel.
No it can't, lol. Ask it.

Mac UX is far worse compared to Windows, in my opinion. I feel very claustrophobic using it. How do you live without a simple maximize button? "Maximimze to contents" is ambiguous, and in practice, does not work at all for most apps. I find myself having to "manually" maximize windows. And now, I don't want a third party app.

To add to this, even after I "maximimze" windows, I have an ugly menu bar at the top, in addition to the windows own titlebar. Allow apps to have a menu in their own window, but don't force an ugly global menu. For the clock/systray, integrate it like windows in the bottom app bar.

I could keep listing frustrations. Many of these are objective.

Note: I'm not talking about app installation, or malware, or "polish". Mac is superior, will agree.
M-Pesa was firmly established back when I met a Kenyan friend in 2013, who lives in Nairobi. It was also the first time I encountered someone who used their phone as their sole computer, for graphic design, word processing, video, etc. etc.

This friend didn't have a job, didn't have many possessions at all. But accomplished some amazing things with a mid-level phone and slow internet (not to mention frequent power outages).

What you would ‘certainly want’ depends very much on the application this is implemented in. The data isn’t gone from the CRDT table unless the program decides it is, so many ui choices are possible.
In the mid-00s I had a Leatherman multitool with a knife. I was constantly forgetting to take it out of my pocket before going to the airport, and never once did the (then-fairly-new TSA) even mention it, let alone do anything about it.

I finally lost it in 2008 or so when a bouncer at a club wouldn't let me in with it (and I had parked quite a ways away and waited in line for too long for me to consider going back to put it in the car). So... nightclub bouncers are more effective at screening weapons than the TSA.
Back in grad school I took a robotics course and it involved doing all these big matrix multiplies--by hand given this was pre-MATLAB. The course was overall fun but that part definitely wasn't. A modern version would be more interesting.
My PCP cleaned out one of my ears recently. I'd trust her more than I'd trust myself.

ID cards to vote would disproportionately obstruct legitimate voting of older people and racial minorities.

You need to understand that adding barriers to vote in the US has a 100+ year history of nefarious things like preventing eligible black people from voting as their primary purpose, then a firm understanding of the motives of such modern discussions falls quickly into place. Silly people who complain about "wokeness", maybe many of them here on HN, will say I'm being paranoid or outdated in that description, but the history is dark, ugly, and very real.
I think you're right about working until they fail but I've only ever had anecdotal evidence to this effect.

I also reckon much of the problem comes from the fact that information about them is proprietary—simply manufacturerers just don't tell us much about them as to do so may reveal trade secrets. Several decades ago I was involved in work where we had to have as large storage as possible irrespective of cost, back then a 1GB SanDisk was worth somewhere between $1k and $2k (we replaced single-sep time lapse remote monitoring film cameras with TV and needed large storage).

We approached SanDisk (about the only manufacturer with such large drives at the time) and they were very reticent about telling us anything worthwhile—even though we were a large international organization and had clout. We needed to know the reliability so we had to investigate it ourselves, whilst we made some progress it was never fully satisfactory.

Anecdotal info we learned from various sources was that manufacturerers had ways of testing them by altering the threshold voltage—the point where the gate potential would switch from 0 to 1. At a critical point one could check how many gates failed to switch and this voltage altered over time/with use. Monitoring this could provide useful info such as knowing when to retire a device before it failed.

How accurate this info is I don't know but it seems to make sense. If true, we users should be demanding of manufacturerers utilities that are capable of doing such testing. Trouble is, manufacturerers continue to maintain this secrecy.

PS: several days ago I put a brand new SanDisk 128GB in one of my PVRs and it's really hot to touch even when it's on standby (not recording TV). This isn't the first time I've noticed how hot they get. This isn't the PVR's fault as I've several different brands and the thumb drive gets very hot in each one including my PC. One wonders what this elevated temperature does to the reliability/service life.

The hazily defined ideal of general intelligence - which everyone imagines that they are, but most of us do not live up to all the time, and nobody lives up to every waking moment (or at least before we've had our morning cup of coffee) isn't within the reach of present day transformer architectures because the length of text they can stay coherent over is limited by how far back they can look through their own output. Human beings can form new memories from their outputs that stay with them for the rest of their lives.

Notice how you have just moved the goal posts!

Since you did that I am going to assume that you now take back your silly arguments about the impossibility of only punishing people who are super obviously engaging in unsportsmanlike conduct.

I am glad that I am able to convince you so easily, that actually yes it is possible to punish super obvious cases without also punishing people who are dying of a debilitating disease and much engage in an emergency withdrawal!

That was a pretty funny argument you were making though! It's really entertaining that you were actually trying to claim that it is impossible to find obvious cases without punishing uhh, sick people?

This is a very misleading title. The result here is not that TM's are recurrent neural networks, it is that it is possible to construct an (infinite) recurrent neural network that emulates a TM. But the fact that a TM can be built out of perceptrons is neither surprising nor interesting. It's pretty obvious that you can build a NAND gate out of perceptrons, and so of course you can build a TM out them.

In fact, it's probably the case that you can build a NAND gate (and hence a TM) out of any non-linear transfer function. I'd be surprised if this is not a known result one way or the other.
Running agile in a small team is one thing, having a company do "agile at scale" is quite another (yes I realise the contradiction in terms). As someone who worked at McKinsey, on several large scale "agile" rollouts the bulk of the work was on re-organising the company (this is not an easy thing to do in companies with thousands of employees - hence bring in the consultants). The driver behind these projects was almost always cost cutting or increasing efficiency. The agile part was mostly window dressing.
It really isn't that uncommon of a belief.
It does seem to be a networking issue. I have a ec2 instance in us-east-2 that is accessible through a "Global Accelerator" but not externally through my ISP.

That ec2 instance can talk to other ec2 instances that are on us-east-2 - but none of those other instances are accessible externally.
Sorry if this is off-topic, but ChatGPT is blowing my mind, I'm using it to write my Christmas cards this year and it's already made some funny ones.

Dear <Manager>

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! May your days be filled with joy, laughter, and lots of eggnog. Speaking of eggnog, have you heard the one about the manager who tried to manage a team of developers? He kept telling them to "commit" to their work, but they just kept "pushing" him aside.

Cheers, <Developer>
Exactly, the sublist newline stuff is a total nonstarter for me. Sorry, I guess I'll run a markdown parser that takes an extra second or whatever to run.
Hopefully, yes, but we can't just ignore the tens of thousands of flights flying 2-3-4 hours from the nearest airport every year. Particularly because these are the biggest airplanes with the most passengers.
An injunction is a legal command, not a demand. This might be semantically dubious. But the former is the judiciary saying, “thou shalt cease and desist.” While the latter is a party saying “stop that or I’ll make life very difficult for us both.”

No, of course not, that would be dodging their responsibility just as much. They sold a license to all future updates of mIRC, I expect that to be honored (or refunded if not reasonably possible to honor) - and not for the author to try to play games to get out of this commitment.

The author could start a new project, not based on mIRC, and sell that separately.
