It is huge potato, because being hold in jail before trial puts huge pressure on people. If the charges are small, they are very likely to just sign plea deal while in exact same charge outside they would fought a case.

Layers and Criminal reform advocates talk about this a lot, actually. Being in pre trial jail is actively destroying their lives. It is one of reasons for why most cases enver even end up in trial.
Piling on the speculation, the dynamic power draw when raytracing was enabled, especially the memory access patterns - and the poor performance in spite of the increased power draw - might have been the final blow.

But if an entire h/w project is punted to "the next release" there's more than just one feature that contributed. So maybe the halo feature, raytracing, plus the other new Metal 3 features all contributed?
Companies are all too willing to trade user privacy for money.

Wrong on that score too. To 'hoard' capital is to take it and put it in the equivalent of a mattress. I assure you, the family offices of these billionaires are doing anything but hoarding capital: huge chunks of it are invested in various vehicles. And the idea that billionaires should simply give away their wealth to their workers is widespread, but wishful thinking. The average person who wins a lottery (the equivalent of the recipient of a billionaire's largesse that you envision) pisses it all away in a few years, rarely deploying it for his own benefit, let alone that of society.
I always thought that mobile devices should have a small indicator LED that shows when OS-invoked dialogs were being shown, that cannot be invoked by third-party code.
A couple of thoughts:

The approach you describe to measure speed from the motor position is essentially what subway cars use. Ignoring wheel slip, which is not a rare phenomenon, this approach works very well. However, when you defer maintenance, things operated in harsh environments _will_ eventually break down.

(Within the context of the issues mentioned by the linked 2018 NY Post article) Speedometers were (bizarrely) judged as non-critical parts (i.e., the car can still be used in service with it broken) because, after all, the signaling system will catch any over-speed, thus the repair, and more importantly the maintenance, of speedometers was not prioritized. Thankfully most of Cuomo's goons and bean counters have been pushed out.

As for the wayside speed enforcement, the author only briefly touched on the solutions to the problem described in the article, but it's known as Communications Based Train Control (CBTC)[1]. It's a moving block system (compared to current fixed block signals) that used train speed, track geometry, and the location of other trains to determine maximum safe operating speed.

I would argue that it's not "maddening" to control subway speed with electro-mechanical timing mechanisms, control lengths, etc. This was cutting edge in the 1920s & 1930s, and indeed some of the oldest signaling in the system is from that era (though thankfully, the amount is decreasing).

It is however maddening to decide in 1995, given other existing speed control solutions at the time (coded track circuits, CBTC, axle counters) to expand the use of these timers. But as the saying goes if you have a hammer, everything is a nail.

Even more maddening is how slow the subway's transition to CBTC has been. NYCT was an early leader, with the Canarsie line being one of the first brown-field re-signaling jobs (not to mention a 24/7 railway), and then the program just seemed to languish under management that didn't see CBTC's value or the need for modernization (could write pages on this). Thankfully the new cadre of people at 2 Broadway has put the CBTC program into high gear, with 4 (5?) lines under various stages resignaling at the movement.

As a bonus tidbit: the wheel slip issue mentioned above is fixed in CBTC operations with the inclusion of a free axle, equipped with no motor or breaks, thus never experiencing a lack of adhesion. Passive RFID balise's placed at known intervals (i.e. loaded into the train) allow the train to then audit (while in operation) how far its estimated position and speed have deviated from where it truly is. Some CBTC systems also have car-brone backups based on accelerometers or rail-facing doppler radars.

Do you expose your server to the internet or is it ok to sync devices only when you’re at home? Is every device a replica, if you lose your server can you redeploy it from the data on your device?
It often doesn't (and I'm also questioning what these 'resources' are, as well). It simply dissipates them.
I’m not sure, it does help to even just know about whether your program is faulty, and C doesn’t like telling it you, or in unintuitive ways only.

If you count in the financial constrait that service is working under, sure. But meassuring the speed/position of a rail vehicle on a piece of track reliably is not an unsolvable feat of hardware engineering. It is done elsewhere and it is done elsewhere where similar constraints for uptime exist.

Theoretically by that logic we could argue that trains are hard because making the motors for them is non-trivial. It is non-trivial, and depending on your standards it might be even hard. But it is essentially a solved problem. You want a motor? You get one from the big companies, let them design one or use one from an existing similar train. Same thing goes for measuring speed. You want it? Create a team researching which ones to get.

Like in many places NY infrastructure has it's best days long behind itself and it is a wonder it still works. That infrastructure is in dire need of modernization and it has been for a while. The reason this is not done is not because it is hard or impossible to do. It is just expensive.

My three-word summary would be "Polling is good", though I don't see the word "polling" mentioned once.
> Why?

Because it wouldn’t work. It’s completely infeasible for an moderate sized non-tech business because the “IT environment”, such as it were, of employees homes is absolutely non-homogenous.

You can, as an end-user IT support department, rely on basically only two things about any user’s home kit and ability to interface with it: they have power (usually), and they can probably get internet access via wifi somehow. Any other assumption about their home environment will prove incorrect in some wild way.

I’ve run into users that don’t have Ethernet, or WPA2, or any kind of public IP, or next hop latency under 200ms, or more than 1mbps bandwidth. We have users that don’t have home Internet, and for the duration of WFH orders used their company provided phone as a hotspot. I’ve run into users who can’t promise that they’ll have mains power day to day.

Even if the user does have Ethernet coming out whatever their NTD might be (and it might be exotic!) you can’t guarantee that they can follow any kind of instruction to set up a router: they are about as likely to end up without a functional internet connection at all as they are to get whatever box it is you give them to work.

You also can’t even be sure your instructions will work for whatever it is you’re trying to do. Are you taking into account double NATing? Triple? Do you know that none of your users home ISPs have some kind of MAC whitelist on their NTD? What if their current router is built into some kind of HFC modem?

This is not a problem you can solve the mass use case for and address the edge cases: it’s all edge cases, in my experience… and that’s if you’re operating in a single, highly developed first world country.
I just treat ChatGPT as another source. It's become a go-to for questions (according to my log, this week I've asked it about naturopathic medicine, game development, algorithms, FSAs, vocabulary, and general trivia).

It's waaaaay faster to get an immediate answer -- and be able to ask pointed, follow-up questions, which you couldn't otherwise do with a traditional site. And it's a lot easier to just fact-check statements online than to wade headfirst into something you know nothing about in random sites of varying qualities.

I spent a ton of time adjusting toolchains and doing string handling, regex handling or command invocations with escapes, lists vs strings etc. in CMake.

The waste of time was so massive and frustrating that I ended up moving to Meson.

It is working remarkably better.
This is a straw man. The person you replied to never suggested that a person carrying weed is a bigger threat than a scammer.

To return to topic: yes, a person arrested for carrying weed is more likely to do the same again while on bail than this guy is to repeat his fraud while on bail. The fact that it makes no sense to incarcerate people for small time weed possession is a completely different matter.
I am not sure there would be much difference in impact since the airline would fill unused weight allowance with other cargo.
Yeah that's a case where functions could be useful but I think the real problem there is the non-perfect backwards compatibility in Meson, which makes it unnecessarily hard to include new versions of it in stable distros.

The main culprit is GNOME packages because they were early adopters of Meson and thus had a few incorrect idioms that were cargo culted to a few dozen packages. For a similar issue in RHEL we decided to update Meson, but we needed to revert some changes that tightened the language. I do plan to include those changes in Meson in the near future, keyed on the minimum version in the "project" line, so that older packages are easier to build with newer Meson.

That said, did you consider backporting the new features to the older Meson in Debian stable?
> don't protect jobs from AI. They are saving us effort we can spend on other things. This is just industrialization taken another step.

This is true on a long time scale. On a medium-to-short time scale it will lead to the biggest concentration of wealth we've ever seen.
It remains absurd to me that companies making aircraft can include what to me sound like basic safety equipment paid extras. The fact that they had the ability to detect tail- or head-windshear, but charged extra for both is absurd, even if in this case it apparently wouldn’t have changed anything.
Not for me. The computer, at least, doesn't know that it's shamelessly taking advantage of your grief to grift. But a human would know. Isn't that worse?

I have no conclusions on this but kind of like in court, not the best idea to investigate your own personal breach but I get there is little choice for OP.

In my experience "I didn't click on any suspicious link" and similar user denials are exactly why you don't ask them that during incident response, instead you get them to give you all their browsing/download history/content so you can verify that.

It could be cookie theft (physical 2fa can't stop that) or consent phishing if they use oauth for their main lastpass login. As soon as this was noticed, disk/memory images should be taken of all devices with lastpass ideally so they can be investigated. I don't know if the victim here uses laspass on their phone for example or by new apps they include new browser extensions or updates to existing apps (supply chain compromise).
Automated trading can be a good use, difficult to market though.
The specific mix varies considerably by state. Table here, though it's not easy to summarize:

<https://www.chooseenergy.com/data-center/electricity-sources...>

Coal ranges from a high of 93% in West Virginia (not terribly surprising), to nil in CT, DE, MA, NJ, NY, RI, and VT.

Nuclear does contribute a lot, up to 50% (IL).

New York's hydro, Niagara Falls notwithstanding, is still only 17% of total (though NY is a large energy producer). Vermont is 48.2% hydro, 28.3% wind, and 10.2% solar, though it would be the smallest producer in the north-east.

Even the south-eastern states tend to use much less coal than I'd have thought.

This page shows a graphical depiction of generation sources for states. It's still a bit muddled, but several Eastern states are among the highest in renewables usage, with Vermont leading the country:

That sounds like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33910863 which was posted here on HN a few weeks ago. It's a ChatGPT-esque model that provides URLs for where it synthesized each individual sentence from, but also feels a lot more summary-heavy rather than strictly new text a la ChatGPT. The results leave quite a bit to be desired, but it's nice to know there are people working on exactly what you're suggesting. :)

OpenAI, specifically, has also been working on allowing GPT models to browse the internet and include citations with e.g. https://openai.com/blog/webgpt/
I gave it a try with jokes, too. Some jokes were just awful, but some make you think where did that come from.

Me:

C++ programmer and Rust programmer meet in a bar. Please finish the joke.

ChatGPT (1):

The C++ programmer says, "I like my code like I like my women: fast and efficient."

The Rust programmer says, "I like my code like I like my men: safe and concurrent."

ChatGPT (2):

The C++ programmer asks the Rust programmer, "What's the difference between null and option?" The Rust programmer replies, "One is a way to avoid segfaults, and the other is a way to avoid being a C++ programmer."
One of the groups (DPANN) is I believe invariably symbiotic, which made it hard to find through traditional methods. It may shed light on how eukaryotes got started.

A kind of fascinating problem in microbiology is that prokaryotes didn't take high school science and don't realize you can't acquire traits, you can only inherit them. So they trade genetic material with each other like Pokemon cards in a process called "horizontal gene transfer". This makes it considerably harder to figure out what 'species' even means.
Let me guess, possession is the last charge for many repeat violent offenders that violates their parole and finally lands them in prison.
Ask HN: Plain text languages that compile to slideshows or movies?

Has anyone seen any hand written DSLs that compile to a movie file, powerpoint, HTML presentation, et cetera?

I want to allow people to make movies by hand first, rather than by a GUI tool like iMovie or PowerPoint (though building a GUI for these files will be very easy later on).

The Toyota Way emphasizes that managers cannot merely read and listen to reports. They need to walk the genba, the factory floor, and see firsthand what the state of things is.

With software, the genba is not the office. It is the codebase. Managers don't need to be making commits that get merged into production, but they should be constantly familiar with the codebase that their team is responsible for, and capable of playing with it and try out ideas. See the technical debt with their own eyes. Understand firsthand why their report says that making certain minor changes is such a difficult task.
You’re right of course, despite the fact that I personally use Bing indirectly via DDG.

That said, my personal anecdata is that, a few years ago, g! Google search results would often find things that DDG didn’t - but today, those results rarely help (hence my OP).

I am not super confident DDG has got better, but it certainly feels like

>Better yet, mechanically link the controls as in Boeing planes... it's not great that the stronger pilot wins, but at least both know what's going on.

Not necessarily. They are mechanically linked but there is a breakaway mechanisms designed to be failsafe against one of the sticks jamming. You could have a scenario of them fighting each other so hard the breakaway trips and then only one of them has a working stick, at least until both sticks are aligned, allowing the clutches to engage again.

So you assume that in a game company all have the same skills to the more or less C++ level? What about designers that can program a dynamic lang like Lua or so?

I have been frustrated at times with developers not looking ahead or testing their software, PMs not caring that software is tested properly, etc. It feels sometimes like the only metric that counts is how many story points are finished after every sprint and everybody just tries to cross their todos, but nobody steps back and actually tries to use the product.
Isn't AI good for search? For example, isn't it possible to make an AI that would read all articles on the Internet and filter out low-quality ones from search results?
ChatGPT is in general a really nice interface for talking to a software.

It is when you're just messing around and don't need an accurate answer quickly, so you forgive the fact you need to iterate on your prompts. If you really had to get something fast it'd be awful.

> People share even to their disadvantage.

Crucially, humans share with other humans. Sharing comes with feeling appreciated. Of course teaching someone my craft is to my disadvantage—I am literally creating competitors—but I enjoy doing it myself regardless because I enjoy feeling recognized and valued.

That stops being the case if the only thing that reads what you write is an LLM, which acts as a middle-man between you and people you’d like to help to whom it returns your content stripped of attribution (let alone pays you, even if it charges the users). There’s a fine line between sharing and being a ghost training data producer.

But who you gonna trust then? It's open source[1] at least, so you can always review it yourself.

But from "paranoid" point of view you can't verify is this is the same code used in app and all of currently available stores lacks in reproducible builds department. So it's always a tradeoff between ease of use and hassle.

Please comment.
I think a reasonable feature for a password manager would be to do NIST recommended checks, such as comparing passwords to databases of known compromised passwords and alerting/recommending rotation or rejection of the password if a match is found (depending on password entry UI).

Obviously you're not going to get a complete db of known hacks, but a db of most common X million passwords, updated every 6 months or so, is pretty good, and is what I would expect a good password manager to do.

LastPass is in the bad situation of needing to provide excellent security in a product that people really aren't willing to pay a lot of money for. Some of the websites that ask for passwords are in a better position to do this, but then you don't get the benefits of a password manager.

Same issue for the the other password managers out there.
Yeah, I agree that it's probably something like this, and the NYT's reporting is just a bit sloppy.
