I fully agree, but You Tube is a weird one for two reasons:

1) for some of reason, blocking YT is not working on network. I need to figure it out. This problem could be limited to me.

2) YT is used by various educational sites to just w videos. So, if I block YT, they stop working. Note: I’m not referring to visiting YouTube.com directly, but embedded videos in other sites. So, this makes it hard to block YT.

What I have done instead is not installed the YouTube app on the TV and settop box. This has somewhat controlled YT use, but not fully unfortunately.
You can buy an IMX477 board with CSI output and a CSI->USB board, ~$100 combined.

Not quite a fully assembled solution but all you have to do is screw the two boards together with a few standoffs.
Fascinating, and timely. Can anyone recommend a good write-up of UE’s Lumen specifically, preferably written for the interested layman?

I'd be interested to know the user number.
I'm not saying that - I am fully aware of the Laravel ecosystem and the rest of the popular frameworks. They should start one from scratch - given the footprint of WordPress, it's not a stupid idea. Also, themes should stop being code!
I have done lots of fine pitch SMT hand assembly at home with stencils etc. But I do see this has lots of BGA chips and I'm not sure how easy those are (I've never done them).
It’s because these journalists wrote articles that were critical of Musk. Not to mention that the publications where these articles were published have vastly stronger rules about things like doxxing than Twitter ever did (in part because they’re actually regulated).
A moderate, and reasonable position. I would definitely agree that this sort of stuff should be readily available for review, not requiring FOIA requests.

But if part of your reasoning for not extending compassion/humane treatment to another creature is based on the degree to which it appears to extend compassion/humane treatment to other creatures... that would seem to imply we should extend less compassion to you vs. humans who extend more compassion to these same creatures, right?

I'm not suggesting that we treat you worse than other people, but rather suggest that this line of reasoning might need to be reconsidered.

That is, your rule seems to put you at a disadvantage if applied universally. Am I missing something?

It's against my base instincts, but the older I get, the more I try to extend compassion unconditionally. Among other things, I find it just makes me a calmer person. YMMV.
Twitter said 'no' to the feds on multiple occasions (as was pointed out upthread) and you can bet that if they had received an illegal request they would have balked at it.

I'm sure there was some give-and-take but on the whole what I've seen so far is absolutely par for the course, if you were to look into Facebook, Google, Microsoft and any of the ISPs and email providers you would find the exact same thing.

Both Twitter and the FBI were pretty open about the FBI having limited access to Twitters' firehose and that there was constant interaction between the two parties. You can add to that that if you were to look at this internationally and at the state level that such contacts can be expected to exist as well. Any assumption to the contrary is hopelessly naive.

We might be arguing past each other.

I don't know any (serious, at least in my mind) AI researchers that would make that claim, no. But it is a distinction that is poorly communicated to ordinary people who use these models, and most of the time that you encounter "how do we know that humans reason" in the wild in non-researcher contexts, it usually is being used to argue that we just need to throw more processing power at models and get more data into them -- or to paper over the real criticism that the current generative models that are available to ordinary people are not useful for tasks that require something approximating "actual reasoning."

It's a hard thing to talk about, because I recognize that it is absolutely unfair to criticize AI researchers that are not making these arguments in the first place, but also recognize that pointing out this kind of distinction is absolutely necessary for the general public on a public forum and that it is important to continue to hammer home the practical difference between pattern-matching and reasoning in current models.

I don't know how to walk that line other than to point out that trynewideas's comment was reasonable and that attacking it from a philosophical perspective misses the point of what they're saying. But I don't mean to imply that researchers are wrong or misinformed about the state of AI, I'm just pointing out that the philosophical distinction doesn't really change anything about the practical argument (since non-researchers also frequent HN).
Except it would be more like if instead of paying in cash, Safeway paid the farmer with vouchers that they could trade in for carrots. And in many cases charges a monthly fee in order for the vouchers to continue to work.
Strong disagree from me

Adding spurious curly braces to make OCaml look more like JS is not 'ergonomic and modern' syntax, it's a step backwards if anything (though I can appreciate there is some sense to that in context of a compile-to-JS language for frontend dev)
Because leftists often use that as an example of hate speech.
Isn't that what Glen Canyon Dam exists for?
Hm, not sure about this, while I understand what you're saying, aren't you giving your kids the equivalent of mental heroin when giving them unfettered access to Youtube?

I mean you can say what you want about it to them, I'm still not sure I'd give my kids unlimited access to junk and hope they're cool to just be ok with it?

I had zero restrictions on my internet acess growing up, I was also told about excesses and I still blow way too much time on HN, YouTube and Instagram, so I'm not sure it really works to just have the talk?
Lots of measure theory questions... Having taken a graduate measure theory course I decided to ask it a question, and it answered it correctly![0] Although ask it to explain a specific theorem or proof and it hallucinates answers left and right.

I wonder if it could be adjusted so that it can be ordered assembled through a place like JLCPCB. Then you could get the PCBs, order your choice of 3D printed enclosure, add the lens, assemble it and be done.
I'm here to remind everyone the plural of Lego is Lego. That aside yes, Lego is ruinously expensive and appears to increase above inflation since it stopped being about blocks (the 60s)
I disagree. For instance: LE might become aware of a sexting or suicide attempt or some other thing that people do that is not strictly illegal but that might be embarrassing or that could cause the person trouble in their private life. Having a degree of confidentiality helps to both speed up the process because not every word has to be weighed on the scale of 'how does this look in the public arena' and it helps to preserve the privacy of all parties involved.
Maybe the FBI director was under orders from the president to prevent opposition hacks from spreading misinformation about the date of the election, thereby costing him the election.

Wait, are you saying this was all to ensure Trump wins? Are you saying this is proof of a Watergate type situation?!?
That's the best explanation for Leetcode interviews that I've seen.
I have had the same experience as you with time tracking, but I admittedly think that his process is really good. It could be archived and in the event of any disputes, it would rapidly settle them.

But then again, I can’t imagine disputes like that. I wouldn’t work for anyone with red flags.
We Need Fusion Energy to Advance Our Climate Endgame
That information wasn't "already available" - ElonJet was purposely and knowingly working around privacy protections, and they didn't hide it either. That's like guessing your password, getting into your emails and arguing "this information was already publicly available". Or installing a wiretap on your phone and saying "well, that information is publicly available".
No, if you take specific action to override explicit privacy protections, it's not "publicly available".
And the story didn't end with this information being just "available". It continued to a masked black bloc wearing person stalking his car and blocking it and climbing on it. Nobody was hurt, so far - but it's not just "information being available" anymore.
No you were perfectly clear.

You just did not approach this constructively. It would have been better if you asked first about how the impact was and could have be measured. Or at least responded more directly when they tried to explain the impact better. Instead of making and sticking to an assumption that the service wasn't useful.

It may well be that the person misunderstood their impact, but your arguments did not address that after the person came back with theirs. They could have been an edge case, that they are in an unfortunate situation in the human process of deciding rewards, where choosing and calculating metrics is itself subject to errors in judgment, and you tried to generalize your experiences to their corner of the world, which normally requires a stronger questioning.

Here's an analogy: let's say you work on cars and you've got a decent set of tools. You have a friend who has an excellent set and a whole shop. You can imagine yourself running with your ideal set. But the first step isn't "throw out all your tools and get a $20 Walmart box of assorted tools."

I can imagine a society built on mutual aid, and I practice that everywhere I can. But I have access to tools today. I can vote, I can use my voice to influence the government. What's my alternative, given the reality of today? Convert everyone asking the Colorado river to council communists before the river dries up?

My tool box isn't perfect, but it has some good tools in it. Many of them I'd ideally get rid of and replace, but I'm not going to ignore the tools I have until I replace them with better ones.
As a more solid data point, Hinkley Point C was built with an inflation-adjusted strike price of 9p / kWh in 2012. That's about 11p / kWh today, or $.13/kWh.
For the US it isn't great. My small town charges $16 for the connection and $0.10 a kWh.

Less than $0.15 per kWh is pretty common.

Had unlimited access to TV and Internet, pretty addicted still too.

I think it's better if we just admit that these systems are built to be addictive instead of pretending we can just "zen" ourselves away from it.

Realistically, like a lot of addictive things, it would be better off if I nevers started.

Perhaps he hated bureaucrats meddling with engineering and user experience.

My last job (I left in October) still uses Solaris on the SPARC-64 architecture. It was selected because the customer, The Oligarchic Cell Phone Company, required NEBS (Network Equipment Building System) compliance (it wouldn't surprise me if it's Federally mandated) and SPARC had said support. The hardware reminds me of a freight train---slow to start, slow to stop, but once going, it keeps going and can handle a frightening amount of load. But all of the development is done on Linux and Mac OS---we just stick to POSIX and it all works out.
What is this miracle software?
No. Consistent hashing and its easier to understand cousin rendezvous hashing are about maintaining properties after a rehash.
The FBI certainly wasn't acting on behalf of Obama when they sat on the revelation of Hilary's emails found on Huma Abedin's laptop to manufacture an October surprise. The fact that folks like Giuliani knew about it before it was made public goes to show that the FBI isn't a unified organization all moving in the same direction.

Out of curiosity, which app?
No, you were not "clear". You said that batteries store "power". They do not. Period.

Worse still, you were attempting to confuse "power" (actually energy) storage with "power" (actually energy) production. That's not even apples and oranges -- more like apples and poetry.

It's like saying that because a refrigerator can hold 100 kilograms of food, buying a refrigerator is same as actually growing 100 kilograms of food. The two are not comparable in any way.

I hadn't heard this this term before but I think it is pretty accurate in many organizations. Nothing is worth doing as its impossible to prove ROI conclusively - just do what the boss says instead.
Notes from the Path: Suicide
I'll give you one example: I was called up on my cell phone in the middle of the night by the police in NL that a person was attempting suicide on camera on our website. We fished their IP number out of the logs and passed it on which allowed LE (after contact with the relevant ISP) + medical assistance to get there in record time and help the person who ended up surviving and being quite happy that their attempt had failed (it's been more than a decade and I still have that image etched into my brain). There is no 'best before' date on something like that, just knowing the account name would be enough to cause trouble for that person all over again.

You would have to decide on a case-by-case basis which requests can cause harm and which don't, which given the volume of such requests would add a fairly unreasonable burden on a company that was already cash strapped.

The only reason people want to know about this stuff is some kind of morbid curiosity. What you could do is to come up with a set of workable rules for which requests would have to be made public and which not, but I don't think I would be capable of coming up with such a set of rules that would not in the future lead to issues. So to default to secrecy seems prudent.

In that light, the sale of Twitter and the subsequent exposure of all these interactions presumably has the effect of such communications becoming more opaque rather than less resulting in the opposite effect of what you desire.
You have to post the inflationary measure of the nickel at some basis of purchasing parity. I'm not sure either chocolate or arcade games can do it. It's quite likely both have undergone huge expected shifts in the basket of goods informing inflation.

The decline of metal money plays a bit here too. I was really shocked when I realised that the only coins I am using feed meters and buskers. I haven't withdrawn money from an ATM in almost a year. Buskers use stripe. So does the street market for vegetables I use weekly. Even tax avoiding niches are now almost solely online. Swiping for $2 and avoiding any overt tariff and paying $2 in service charges for $20 of trade makes $2 the new 15c
Nope, though it helps.

HN is "right wing"?
I’d ask you to find and share the model number they used, but I feel like it would be OOS by the time I remembered to look, then come back at 3-6X the price.
What duress was Twitter under? It sounds like they happily cooperated because they mostly agreed with the FBI’s recommendations. Perhaps you can call that bias in favor of Trump’s government. But based on the OP account, it was freely voluntary.
I think you just described it. Haha. There have been a couple of pictures pop up of him in NYC by dedicated paparazzi hounders, and if I recall correctly, they were roughly in the same neighborhood years apart and he was rather upset about them.
Yep - a bunch of ways to read/use proc in arguably roundabout ways (things you may not be able to install)... but no mention of /proc

I don’t want to minimize the work of engineering the product design of Lego sets, but my goodness Lego sets are shockingly expensive for what they are. It feels to me like they should be 50% or less the price they tend to retail at - it’s not hard to understand why the Chinese knock-off sets were so popular.
I haven't had a lot of success in this regard. Do you have any links I could review to do this?
On Xbox One and Series S/X you can turn on sleep mode, which uses far more energy but makes sure the console never goes without an update. I'm like you, I can go long periods without opening it and this mode keeps my system always up-to-date.

FWIW there are still some awesome themes out there on Gumroad. It’s just much less done because the ux is reasonable versus XP.
The problem, in short, was that Youtube continuously feeds them new content.

This is a problem for me too (an adult), I'm getting stronger at turning it off, but it's poison.
I interpret this as strong circumstantial evidence that companies who start out as engineering centric and claims to be meritocratic eventually deteriorate into good ole nepotistic power play and a sea of bureaucracy. It’s quite entertaining to observe even John Carmack go through this very relatable frustration.

A very good point. Not even the FTC could stop his 420 madness. On the basis he can only move fast and break things at human scale doing it to four companies (Tesla, spacex, starlink and twitter) dilutes his maximum fuckuppery across all of them.

LEGO can charge this much because it’s one of the rare toys you could actually pass down for many generations. They also have a growing market of adults that are willing to spend a lot more for sets they buy for themselves rather than for some kid.

There is no reason for them to not optimize their prices.
The simple google search might be "Elon Musk apologizes for ‘pedo guy’ comment".

It's strange you doubled-down on Musk not apologizing, when it was headline news at the time about his multiple apologies and statements of regret over the incident.

You stated: "honestly, I don't remember the details" yet proceeded at length with your analysis and judgement.

People have been using the new chat AI tools to post comments. Your comment was strangely drawn out, laboring on disjointed ideas, pressing inaccuracies like how the new bots do it.
I mean if it is an unrecoverable loss of glial cells during puberty (AFAIK most diagnoses start during that time) then nobody would be able to "flip the bit" back anyway. As glial cells feed and protect neurons, their lack will likely have unrepairable consequences, unless the remaining ones are somewhat boosted to partially cover the functionality of the missing ones. I am interested in this topic because a cousin has inherited it from her father's family (super intelligent people) and their family life is destroyed from it. They basically just manage symptoms with regular crazy periods when one medication ceases to function and they have to switch to another one that might not work.
You do want to be that person that is not reachable. There is no value in being available 24/7 unless your job is oncall and responsible for addressing fires in real-time.

Shut off slack, sign-off and coach people on how to reach you. They should rely on batch systems that you check a couple times a day or they can call or however else contact you in an emergency that requires real-time engagement.

You can also do office hours, where you are reliably online and chatting at known and published time.

Slack is cool because it makes everyone feel important in exchange for them giving up their time and productivity.

Generally the way socialists nationalize is by bankrupting the company with massive tax bills, fines, or price caps. They then take control out of bankruptcy or buy the company for a pittance.

NYC took control of the subways by capping fares which bankrupted the private operators.
