Charitably it's one of the more effective ways at reducing abuse of the service (at least by normal people).
How do we prove we are human? A platform that can reliably prove that the user generated content it shows is human generated will have an edge. If I have a method of signing some content with my personal signature, I could still sign off on some generated content with it. I suspect there will be an arms race with ever more voight-kampff-like tests of humanness or something. If this doesn't work, I fear a lot of the web as we know it (the user-generated-content-filled Web2.0) is dead.
There is tons of derision and conspiracies about the ethnicity I belong to. Doesn't matter to me, doesn't define me. Restrictions to speech will never be done in the name of minorities. This is for the vanity of the masses almost exclusively, especially in our modern times.

There is not a single credible example where minorities were suppressed because people were allowed to talk too openly. There are a lot of cases were they were suppressed. And I do not believe this is what you can call a close call.

If you find any example at all, I would be interested to hear it.
They could probably even outsource that service to some storage solution provider. They just need to have the servers located on site at Hetzner.

It wouldn’t even needed to be integrated to their API and billing.

Mergesort Implemented in Rust Language
Happened to me - was buying a warehouse deal used Apple TV 4k, have gotten an old "normal" HD version instead. After sending it back, they said its an old version and recycled it. Had no chance to get my money back nor the apple tv back.
Mergesort it's another divide-and-conquer algorithm similar to quicksort. The algorithm consists of two steps:

Divide the array to be merged into halves till the resulting array it's of size one.

The second step is to apply bottom up merging procedure which works as follow:

we compare the first element from each array to be merged; the smallest will be included in a new merged array, and removed from the partitioned array.

we repeat the procedure till there are no more elements in any of the arrays to be merged.
> I've discovered recently that tire wear actually creates about as many particles as exhaust fumes, at least for cars. Tire wear is directly affected by vehicle weight.

Even better: in terms of particulates, tire and brake wear creates much more nowadays thanks to particulate filters on exhausts.

That being said local air quality measurements generally don't follow. The air around highways has an increased amount of PMs, but not by a significant amount.

The main difference in favour of EVs is the NOx emissions - diesel trucks produce a lot of that.
For some reason I was obsessed with this topic for a few hours once and ended up finding this YouTube video where someone basically did the experiment I was considering doing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHpSIBpvU0A .. hammering at some old SSDs non-stop to see how quickly he could break them.
Meh. The article expends zero effort in actually engaging with the Reserve Bank of India's motivations or the CBDC design [1], and is filled with shallow comments about the roll-out in other countries.

This is a very important topic as it has the potential to reshape banking/economics on the timescale of decades. For a good down-to-earth understanding of "layer 1" -vs- "layer 2" money, refer the following post [2]. India's digital payments ecosystem (the "UPI") has been an unparallelled success at the second layer. Beyond that, there are many motivations that make it potentially interesting to consider digital layer 1 money -- starting with the costs of managing paper money, reducing settlement risk, potentially smoothing cross-border payments, the possibility of setting negative interest rates, etc. There are definitely pros and cons, but I'm yet to find a comprehensive and well thought-out analysis (and would appreciate any links!), especially in the Indian context.

But at least artists have some agency, all that stuff that they ingested goes through them and are somewhat limited by human hardware. Very little is original indeed but that percentage may as well go down even more as more and more AI generated soup unleashed on the world.
Thank the Lord this wasn't ready to deploy during covid. They are going to prepare it for the next crisis.
I stopped using my gas stove about 3 years ago, after it seemed to be causing histamine problems. It was only later that read that this was a known problem, rather than only a bizarre correlation I noticed. I now use an electric air fryer toaster oven, which causes only small particle increases.

I recently got a semi-credible-looking non-IoT air quality monitor (CO2, TVOC, PM1, PM2.5, temp, humidity). I can't say how good the self-calibration is, but when the readings vary up/down usually seems to make a lot of sense.

For CO2 (and other air quality concerns in this problematic old student apartment, in a crazy university neighborhood housing market), I almost always have a couple windows cracked open.

And, if I haven't had a central window open wide for awhile, I'll try a large air exchange with outside, by opening many windows wide for a few minutes.

Oh, I've been there. I just wanted to highlight an outstanding option.

Though I'm sure if you ask and they have the money for it lying around, Kubermatic will sell you an SLA.
This is my experience too. I've tried to do simple task like building small JS scripts and while it's doable, is like having a kid who needs oversight and can't clearly connect ideas.

And coding is supposedly an area where it shines.

GPT is waaay better than us humans at finding and summarizing information. Way way faster. But I've tried to write a blog post about some technical stuff and I finally gave up after many tries.

It's good. It's frightening already. But it's still not "there". It's like having a extremely fast but bit dumb virtual assistant.

Way better than anything we had before.
The price increase of Digital Ocean is what prompted us to evaluate different US Cloud providers in which we found Hetzner offering by far the best value [1], what's even nicer was that the prices for the instances ended up being ~25% cheaper than what they're advertising, e.g. their 4x vCPU / 8GB RAM / 160GB HDD is advertised at €17.27 but when creating instances of them in their cloud console it only ends up costing €13.10. Not sure why that is, perhaps it's the difference of their hourly vs monthly cost.

The only reliable path to a permanent contract at a German university is to join the administration. Everything else is fixed-term, with the exception of the professorships, which are a lottery with an incredibly high ticket price.
Exactly which makes me think the egos are perhaps bruised. Yes obviously it will be wrong but using it you keep that in mind.

To expand on the analogy it is like having an 8 year old around but unbelievably this 8 year old has literally read and remembered and basically “understood” everything about everything we collectively know.

I’ve tested it with fairly esoteric questions about the technologies I work with and it gives excellent results for an 8 year old and extremely quickly about anything.

I think it can significantly speedup technical work. I intent to try and have it help me this week and see how it goes.
Yes - Aranet CO2 detector; we also carry it into a cars and open our windows when the CO2 in the car gets too high.

We use electric stoves, but would prefer gas.
No, like parent, I’m talking about before the current issues. Unlike GP, we had no issues getting Pi’s before the current troubles started, which was what they were saying.
Considering everyone tends to point out the Achilles heel of EV trucks is the high kerb weight limiting the tonnage of useful cargo, I find it really funny that their premier touted customer is Frito-Lay, whose products are universally referred to as bags of air.
The land use is efficient for military purposes.

Firing ranging as defensive depth and simply space to keep people, eyes and ears away from training and equipment.

There are military installations in urban areas that use space effectively but a big spread out base is effective for its intended purpose of preparing to wage war.
I see off-grid as not having public utilities. Starlink has similarities to solar panels, you’re receiving waves from space and nothing needs to be built from another location to your house to support it. Further, the signals are there to access with or without you using star-link.

By definition 3, I suppose off-grid would mean there’s no roads to your house and you’d have to pack everything in, but that level of off-grid would mean that almost everything described as off-grid isn’t and the term is no longer useful.

It's surprising to see that there are liberal proponents of this. You don't have to be a raging libertarian to see the risks of unlocking this much financial reach for governments. We (in the West) may now mostly live under reasonable governments, but there's obviously no guarantee that this won't change (including towards your <current political opponents>), and implementing social credit score systems and other dystopian things would be much easier under CBDC than it currently is?
I got a good pun:

Why did the bear and the rabbit go to couples therapy?

To discuss their hare-raising issues.

I think it was partly accidental though; when I asked it to analyze the joke it did not pick up on the child-rearing part of the pun.
I couldn't connect to the pi using the serial console. Linux detects it and it gets logged in dmesg but the telnet doesn't seem to work.

It could be that I have a faulty cable.

Oh it's on an rpi3 . Maybe the serial connection only works on 4? The documentation doesn't say.

I call BS if we are talking "latest-gen" hardware. I have few laptops and desktops and it runs very snappy.

This is not to diminish Linux in any way. I use it every day and very happy with it as well.
Ye I know. Those filters are infuriating. Especially if you need someone to take some action.

Some custom helpdesk ChatGPT trained on whatever too will probably multiplicatly be able to turn away 90% of the queries today's voice recognition BS can't handle making it even harder to reach the actual call centre. (Note that I write "turn away" not solve).

Call centre employees are in for a bad payday. They are probably the first to fall?

I feel like I'm very aware of bad air quality, especially in the office, where many people don't seem to care at all.

Definitely one of the biggest benefits from working at home for me, in the office I always felt exhausted after 1pm just because the air quality was so bad and airing was usually discouraged by angry looking coworkers ;)
Yeah, agreed. I wonder though if it will start nibbling away at the bottom of the pyramid.

First you'll cut the bottom 10%, then the bottom 20% etc. The pie will only be shrinking.

I Accidentally Interviewed SBF and He Hated It
This is exactly the kind of corroboration I need to know that Amazon's (NASDAQ: AMZN) commingling practices have gone completely off the rails. It was time-consuming and annoying to be victim to it and use their no-questions-asked return policy, especially as a Prime member. The liability rests upon them, and as long as prices still were better than any other source, consumers were content to continue buying from Amazon.

It is entirely different when the commingling fraud's liability is shifted to the consumer. In this case, the consumer hopefully paid by credit card and the card issuing company dings Amazon in a dispute. But I now know that if anyone or I ever get the same static from Amazon about a purchase, my advice will be to go straight to the card issuer and register a disputed charge instead of letting Amazon run out the clock on the allowed dispute period.
Yeah, that happened, but who cares? It also allowed creative people to make stuff without needing a huge budget

Is it not too early to make predictions?
I have had a "Netatmo" device for some years and it seems to work well. Whenever I use my gas stove the CO2 reading increases.
I don't understand why you don't have companies like Tesla building fuel cell (hydrogen) solutions for commercial use cases. Here is an article that explains it - https://www.bmw.com/en/innovation/how-hydrogen-fuel-cell-car... If Tesla can build a super charger network, they can build a hydrogen refilling network.
Why is the loader critical? Does it load from disk while the demo is running?
I don't know how that would work. I don't think I would get a $1/mo VPS if the provider had to transfer his costs for all the OSS projects to the customer, me. And I like cheap cloud services.
The problem is that according to the post at the root of this thread the AI would have written a test to verify that A < B < C whereas it should have written a test to verify that A < C < B. If the AI or a human had also written code to match A < C < B then nobody might ever know until the day that condition comes up when the system is running.

I can imagine that it would be stressful to review code like this. Where you know you cannot trust a single line of it but that it looks consistent. You might have to verify back to the original assumptions every time and and make sure that you have not been led astray by the AI.
I worked in few consulting firms and know the internal stats.

For ERP impelmentations, failure rate is even more than 50%. Gartner says it is 55% to 75%.

For digital transformations I think the stats are closer to 50%, but it more depends on the company and their project scope.
Maybe the poster above makes some small landing pages for micro companies.

For greenfield projects made by agencies "it depends" but usually quality is utter crap. The project "works" but no change is possible easily, so at the end of the day the projects are failures.

I think it'd be pretty easy to see who was connected to what network, at least for someone else in range and collecting wireless traffic, and triangulation could track down any one of them.

Phone lines might even be worse though since that would mean having a record of your every call and its duration handed directly over to the state by the phone company and maybe even sold to any number of interested third parties as well.

Total anonymity wouldn't really be the point though. In the BBS days we used to have regular meetups/events and so at least for most of the frequent users you could already put a face to a username/handle. Making meatspace friends with the people near you was often a part of the appeal.
I have a lot of houseplants, does that count?
That must be why they're cost-efficient, lean machines and not bloated bureaucracies.

Having dealt with the AOK on behalf of a neighbor to get a wheel chair since he cannot walk, I couldn't tell them apart from the welfare office with regards to processes and motivation of employees. Contrasting that with a private insurance (or a housing cooperative, as you mentioned them) is day and night.

In the end, they are dependent on federal policies and subsidies, so yes, they are technically not part of the state, but for all intents and purposes, they are: funding is decided on by the state, the covered procedures are decided on by a state-created and -controlled almost-but-not-quite-state-office (Gemeinsamer Bundesausschuß, which was created by the Ministry of Health but is nominally independent-ish, yet still needs to have its decisions reviewed by the ministry, and is able to set standards and guidelines which have the characters of a law). And like all bureaucracies, they are steadily growing and require frequent budget-increases.

If we're taking requests, I would love a Fargate-like service. It would be absolutely fantastic if Hetzner provided a service where users uploaded a Docker image, and Hetzner took care of handling the networking bits and running it, and gather metrics.
Yes - AI moves this to another level of scale but Google’s need to sell ad placements created the environment for that to work. When they can’t even be troubled to de-rank blatant StackExchange/GitHub/Wikipedia scrapers it created a big opportunity for these low-quality content farms limited only by their ability to generate content on every topic.
Except for the fact that it does so on an unprecide dented scale allowing small groups of people to do things without necessarily being caught allowing for far more effective ways of control. Even without it, it's hard to argue for the existence of online forums when hackernews is a classic example of why it doesn't work when the majority of the 'intellectuals' have an inflated belief and understanding on topics they have no basic understand on. It's so bad that none of the actual subject matter experts talk here besides ones with financial interests in the products themselves and the experts fearful of retribution. The irony is almost comedic.
Which pricing model should you choose?

Amazon did the same thing to me recently. They shipped me the wrong socks, and are refusing the refund the money unless I send back the ones they sent me, despite the fact that it's blatantly illegal in the U.S. for a company to force you to return something mailed to you that you didn't order.
I think the reason people are impressed is it's assumed the accuracy will improve quickly over time as architectures improve and the models increase in size, just as it did in other areas of machine learning like image classification.
I recently started measuring CO2, Radon, PM (particulate matter) 1.0, PM 2.5, VOC, humidity, temperature, and air pressure with the Airthings Wave connected device.

I have learned a lot while using it for a couple weeks. First, making a fire in your fireplace is great for ambiance but drags air quality down substantially. It eats up oxygen a lot and make the CO2 increase sharply. It also causes very high spikes in particulate matter (both 1.0 and 2.5 micron) from putting the burned byproducts into the air.

I also started improving the energy efficiency of our heating system by fixing spots in the house where cold air comes in. While this results in less energy used to heat the home, it causes CO2 to increase because there isn’t anymore large holes to bring fresh air in. This device helped me learn that CO2 is and energy efficiency are circular problems. The tighter my house is, the more I need to focus on ventilation - exhaust out and fresh air in. It sounds complicated but for me it just means opening windows throughout the house for about 15-30 minutes per day. That alone makes a major difference on everything - Radon, PM 2.5, PM 1.0, CO2, etc.

Lastly just want to mention that it’s amazing to me how fast CO2 levels can rise with just my husband and I in our living room watching a movie. Good ventilation is something I definitely recommend everyone start measuring and working on.
What I'm wondering about this is: if the pandemic that just swept the world is a virus, what did it integrate into our DNA?

Virii as vectors to incorporate some genetics into a genome is pretty interesting...how many phenotypic features (like eye, or hair on skin, or liver able to process chemical X) begun life as viral incorporations?

Is this process happening all the time? Are we being mutated (on average) by every virus we get?
That in itself isn’t necessarily that unsustainable - prefabrication (as long as the factory is somewhat close to the final site) can be much better than building on site because you need to move the thing once instead of having multiple workers travel out to the remote site every day for weeks, plus hauling in all the materials and then hauling out a lot of waste. Tools in the factory can be powered by electricity from the grid (and factory roofs are usually pretty good for solar), whereas on a remote site you would probably be using a diesel generator.

So there are potentially a lot more pros than cons.
> I hope they don't lobby against mass transit (of goods and people). But they probably will, making things worse for all us.

People in general are not fond of the experience of mass transit. They only do it because it's either (or all):

- cheap (no parking fees, car purchase/maintenance)

- less hassle (no need to find parking in busy areas and no need to have all attention to driving)

If personal transport can be made cheaper, less hassle and hands-free (all of which is possible by autonomous vehicles), then people will vote with their pennies and no lobbying will be required by Tesla.

How will this be worse?
Have you managed to find an alternative? Your concerns resonate with me but I still don't know the best way to automatically backup all the photos I take on my phone, search them later, etc
