Definitely buying a house in 2023 is a risky investment. It depends a lot on the person and the location about what to do. I bought my place mid thirties, it would have been 500k cheaper if I bought in my mid twenties, OTOH I enjoyed the freedom to move around have live with other people. In either case if you're thinking about investments, buying a house in a few years or ten should be something to think about.
I love how they even took into consideration safe programming practices, who says game devs shouldn't care about security.

In my home network here in Spain I just turned off all my ISP router wireless and got two 2.4 APs with OpenWRT by ethernet in different parts of the flat. There's a lot of noise but honestly I'm fine with ~30mbps, and I don't get all the weird stuff that comes with 5ghz.

Everything that really needs speed is connected by ethernet anyway.
Curiously they mostly stopped reporting on that this year.

My high school English teacher would have crossed out "is sometimes called" with a red note saying "weasel words".

Discrimination based on race is illegal, but police still care about race in both official and unofficial ways.

And for example, witness testimony of "I saw a white man leave the scene of the crime" would be completely admissible testimony in a trial.

So this doesn't seem like a mistake of worldbuilding to me. The way it's used in the story, it probably says some unflattering things about the police force and the society, but that seems entirely intentional.

Christmas Hacking: Rooting a Vacuum+Mop Robot
Dear HN,

I believe this year I found the easiest way ever to impress my family with my technical skills... by rooting a Dreame W10 cleaning robot :)

We always had dismissed buying one due to the obvious privacy concerns of connecting an always-online device with camera and microphone to the Xiaomi cloud. But this year, they're available for cheap (I got mine at 70% off MSRP) and the hardware has glowing reviews and there's now Dustbuilder support [1].

The rooting process was exceptionally simple. Next to the dustbin, there's an UART port to which you connect one of those $5 USB to UART converters (3.3V model). I've painted the pinout I used in [2].

$ sudo screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200,ixoff

Press the reset button... and you have a root login prompt. Calculate your password according to [3] and you can now do backups of the nand with dd+curl and install a patched firmware like [4] to add an SSH server.

By now, it should work with MQTT and 3rd-party miio apps without any internet connection. As a last step, you can install the excellent Valetudo open source web-GUI [5] which, BTW, is React+NodeJS so easy to customize to your liking.

And now, everyone in the house can remote-control the vacuum robot just by opening a website :) No apps and no chinese cloud needed.

The Dreame W10 that I use also supports multiple floors through miio commands, so I patched my Valetudo installation to support that. Just never ever mention multiple floors to the Valetudo team, because they have a very strict policy that everyone who doesn't own a single-floor penthouse apartment must be an idiot ^_^

But overall, the rooting process was easy, didn't require any disassembly of the robot, didn't require any obscure tools and now I can ssh into root on the robot and it doesn't have any internet connection and works just fine. Also integrates with Home Assistant, if you fancy that.

Happy Christmas hacking, everyone!

The Prime Minister of Australia at the time signed up to AZ as our eggs in one basket vaccine. Also, because we were in heavy lockdown, we were virtually COVID-free for a long time meaning we were de-prioritised in allocation. Double-whammy, and so people from 30-and-over got AZ as their primary (and only vaccine).

... tl;dr: Australia was heavy AZ because of politics
It is incredibly unreasonable to think this! GPT, by definition, is a language model. Unless the underlying architecture is fundamentally altered it will never be able to accurately assess the correctness of its answer.

If such an architecture is ever created it will almost certainly not be a "GPT"-like model.
The opposite is true:

These 444 cases of blood clots are after an estimated 24.9 million first [Astrazeneca] doses, and 24.2 million second doses of the vaccine in the UK. Of the 444 people who developed blood clots, 80 died. Six of these deaths occurred after the second dose.

Source: https://www.bhf.org.uk/informationsupport/heart-matters-maga...

Up to 23 November 2022, there were 554 suspected cases of myocarditis or pericarditis reported in the 18 to 29 age group following the vaccine. This is an average rate of 31 reports per million doses.

In the 30 to 39 age group, there were 470 cases suspected cases of myocarditis or pericarditis reported in the same time period. This is an average rate of 27 reports per million doses.

Studies looking at myocarditis and pericarditis after the vaccine have not found any increased risk of death or cardiac arrest, compared with being unvaccinated. A large study of 4 million vaccinated people in Denmark, published in the BMJ found there were no deaths or diagnoses of heart failure in people who were diagnosed with myocarditis or pericarditis after being vaccinated.

Source: https://www.bhf.org.uk/informationsupport/heart-matters-maga...

A higher rate of myocarditis in the highest risk groups compared to blood clotting, but there is a more than an order of magnitude difference in the severity of blood clotting vs Myocarditis. In addition, blood clotting from the Astrazeneca Vaccine is thought to be incidental to immune response development, while Myocarditis with all covid vaccines is related to the strength of the immune response and is also a symptom of COVID-19.

Well some PC games (Bethesda for one) are known for constantly crashing and being more bug than game. Maybe if their engine actually was memory safe they’d have more time to polish the game?

OpenAI’s advances threaten the entire information production ecosystem Google has created.

That is, Google has created an incredible incentive structure for virtually every (dollar weighted, by market cap) business on the planet needs to produce information, buy relevant queries, and measure how well its information converts (proxy for accuracy).

How might this ecosystem evolve if a language model isn’t doling out the same incentives to information producers?
It was. I meant on Microsoft and Sega platforms (since this is mentioned as a WinCE/DC port) but appreciate the way I worded that wasn’t clear at all.

No, Crystal is a ruby-like statically typed language, but it's not designed for embedding / shared libraries, even less so with an other GC'd language: it has its own runtime and GC.

I think your example inadvertently proves why there is no left representation in America at all. Picking pronouns isn't some policy that was signed into law, it's just that the far right wants to make it illegal. The difference lies in the political figures touted as "left" in America have no left leaning policies, just watered down versions of the American right's agenda.

While I'm all too familiar with this problem from the NodeJS ecosystem, it's rare to encounter it in Terraform in my experience. The only exception that needs manual intervention in a "cold boot" scenario is AWS Cloudfront using certificates provisioned from AWS ACM - the provider will assume that certificates are already valid when creating the CF distribution and error out if ACM hasn't issued the certificate yet.
No, we really can't be sure. I'm annoyed when people are sure about it without posting their ECC correction rate stats from live systems.

I'm continuously writing metrics on a non-ECC system. There are 3 places that the bitflip can affect the data: pre-writing (checksum will be correct), when flushing to the drive (checksum mismatch), calculating the checksum (mismatch again). There may be some silent corruption (in 1 out of 3 cases), but I've been scrubbing the drive every day for ages and there's not a single error.

Non-ECC seems to be doing well. Other claims could really use actual numbers.

> But inside the model there really isn't a bijection between the sets of naturals and reals

No. Inside the model, there is exactly such a surjection. We don't care what happens outside of it.

Maybe you already knew this, but to clarify: "Countable" means that there exists a surjection, not necessarily a bijection. For instance, the set {a,b,c} is countable, but there is clearly no bijection Nat -> {a,b,c} as one set is infinite and the other's finite.

On the contrary: It's a ground-breaking result IMO.

This (IMO) is precisely why Ubuntu is not a user-friendly distro. Fedora (and especially Silverblue) is much more user-friendly in this regard.

> And I think Zig would be easier to maintain compare to Rust because it is a simpler language.

Which is not necessarily helpful when you're mostly not using it, and mostly as a way to build extensions for an other language: in that case what you want is a language which protects you from mistakes, and a glue layer which integrates safely (and hopefully idiomatically) between the two, aka pretty extensive safety abstractions, aka pretty much the opposite of zig.

I have one about ChatGPT. ChatGPT ends up not being useful as a replacement for junior software developers. But ChatGPT does end up taking over middle management. It is more reliable, with better results than humans, at getting software updates from developers and communicating them with coherence to upper managers. Someone will use it to develop an Agile ChatGPT, then another with a Scrum ChatGPT, and then a third, initially a joke, but later accepted as the preferred one, the Waterfall ChatGPT.

FYI, cars do transmit all sort of info. Here’s Tesla for example:

https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/model3/en_cn/GUID-2E8E5E0...

> Vehicle Telematics
Model 3 is equipped with electronic modules that monitor and record data from various vehicle systems, including the motor, Autopilot components, Battery, braking and electrical systems. The electronic modules record information about various driving and vehicle conditions, including braking, acceleration, trip and other related information regarding your vehicle. These modules also record information about the vehicle’s features such as charging events and status, the enabling/disabling of various systems, diagnostic trouble codes, VIN, speed, direction and location.
The data is stored by the vehicle and may be accessed, used and stored by Tesla service technicians during vehicle servicing or periodically transmitted to Tesla wirelessly through the vehicle’s telematics system.

The story wasn’t killed, it was front page news. The reasons it dropped off were accurate: Giuliani’s sloppy handling tainted the evidence and there wasn’t much there relevant to Joe Biden. Everyone already knew Hunter Biden had a drug problem but he wasn’t the candidate and there was no reason to think his father was going to pull a Trump and install him in the government.

Two years later, that’s held up well - despite a lot of attention, there hasn’t been anything of interest to come out of the dump, which is why Republicans have shifted to claiming the problem was some kind of coverup despite it not being covered up.

> Are you OK with the FBI misleading the public? Or are you going to argue that they are incompetent and genuinely believed that it was a Russian operation?

This is key to your misunderstanding: the FBI was on watch for a repeat of the election interference we saw in 2016. They didn’t mislead the public, so it’s not a question of anyone being okay with it because that never happened.

> This strongly indicates that he was hired for political connections.

Yes, and lots of rich kids fail up. The question is whether his father actually did something improper to help him. For example, did Joe Biden actually pull strings for Hunter’s clients or did he refuse to violate the ethical rules? If you want this to be a scandal that’s the kind of thing you need to show.

Isn't it kind of odd how everyone shouts that inflation is good for stocks, etc when the Fed is known for raising interest during times of high inflation?

By that I mean if something grows faster than inflation plus earnings and it is an inflation hedge or at least the revenue is dependent on inflation and therefore it's valuation grows with inflation, then it must come down at some point and here is the kicker, only businesses that actually manage to sell products and generate revenue are actually benefiting from that inflation. So when faced with higher interest rates, only those business will have an easy time.

So what matters here is nominal revenue and nominal interest, not the actual real interest rate. 4% interest at 8% inflation still has a big impact, even though in real terms it is still negative.

An RV driving school is a driver’s course or lesson for those who want to learn about RV. The lessons are presented both in class and on the road.

The RV driving course is more than just the actual driving. Instead, it consists of actionable tips for managing an RV, including maneuvering an RV, pre-trip inspection, learning RV controls, and much more.

In a nutshell, the lessons capture the ins and outs of RV handling, inspiring more confidence to enjoy driving your rig.
> When choosing internal names and identifiers (e.g. DNS) do not include org hierarchy of the team.

Naming in general is hard. If you name stuff based on location, use an identifier that won't change, like provider datacenter names, street addresses or customer building codes, not the current tenant or purpose of use.

For products, come up with an internal product/project name and stick to it in everything that is not immediately visible to the customer. At one point you could see the current and three previous names of our product if you popped out an iframe and opened the inspector (logo with name, page title, URL and prefixed log messages).
