Anecdata: I bought a Toshiba 55M550KU a month or so ago. I've never plugged it into my wired network, and didn't give it my WiFi password. Yes, the main menu is focused around all the things I could do with Internet access, but all I have to do is choose "inputs" and I can configure it as I like with no "CONNECTION REQUIRED" barriers. This means I've never updated the firmware, but I'm guessing those updates would mostly benefit the complex (and changing) apps that I don't use.

Replace “write to the manufacturer” with “leave a review on Amazon”. The point doesn’t change.

Nobody is threatened by anything, and my point has nothing to do with Python.

If someone posts a comment saying “curl sucks! Every time I run it it just prints ‘command not found’” I’d of course try to tell them that’s not a fault with curl.

If they replied with “yes it is because I can’t figure out how to install it from this 3rd party site” then the discussion may become protected.

But ok, maybe we will agree to disagree.

This is a major abstraction leak and is very rarely as simple as you describe it. The only time I've seen it be this simple is with people who design their databases entirely around an ORM and in that case they're already leaving a large amount of performance on the table which you can no longer recover by reaching behind the scenes to help the ORM figure out what it needs to do.
Teslas have shit quality assurance but the Department of Transporation consistently scores Teslas as some of the safest cars on the road. Glad they are earning that score.

Not really. I have this and it is too tall (gotta look up and down) and too skinny (bit too wide for one window across, too skinny for two tiled). Preferred my old 1600x1200 4:3 in portrait mode, though I won't go back to < 200dpi.
They are probably not the top tier biglaw firm if they are charging less than $400/hr for associate time. S&C charges over $800/hr for associate time.
32” 4k ppi is too low IMO. I’m glad someone is trying to compete with the Apple 6k XDR. I’m just afraid this also might be out of my price range.
Ah ok and cool it sounds like a great opportunity.

I was hoping it was residential complex where 20 to 100 fellow techies and inventors get to reside, mingle, connect, learn and create together.

Still sounds great as I've gotten the itch to invent again especially for Apples upcoming smart glasses.
> including using modern build tooling like flit[1] for the build backend and build[2] for the frontend.

Or you can use setuptools, which is the package that enables old setup.py builds, as the backend with pyproject.toml. This has the advantage of being mature, unlikely to be abandoned, and possibly some familiarity if you've used it before. Even then, you can use build as the front end build tool.
I disagree entirely.

Yep, and the hotter your battery gets, the faster it's going to fail. Some estimates state that for every 15 degrees F over 77, battery life is cut in half. It's a lose lose situation :(
As far as I have seen, most AI solutions focus on object detection on a single frame. Would temporal memory, or video detection, increase the confidence a lot? I have not seen any solutions that would understand larger context over multiple seconds timespans.

Used this for a quick proof of concept I was putting together where I needed to parse the output of an OCRed date and number (price) string (with known country). Seems to work very nicely on the sample size of 3 I tried with - so I can't speak to how well it works on a more diverse sample set - but it's great to have something like this available for free.

In my second job we maintained our own, also Regex based, logic for this and it was a nightmare so having a library to do it is quite the timesaver!
That isn’t what is in contention, though. The mapping of some objective metric to that speed and productivity is what I’m arguing doesn’t make sense.
That's unavoidable. Unfortunately to watch 4k hdr videos you have to use some tv boxes. You can't do it on pc. By physically limiting the tv box usage, they only have the data just about the video that I am watching with. I guess that's fine

Society doesn't function because of law enforcement (and the threat of violence by the state), it functions because the super majority doesn't break the laws. If the social contract breaks away, you can have an army but you can't run a modern society on threats, or you'll exhaust the resources by government watchmen, and you'll end up with 10% in society being productive and the rest watching them and each other.
Interesting article. Of course, the business comes with half a million dollars debt, as well. So he's sort of selling it for about $500,000.

I didn't see details, but I would guess the new owner probably is required to wait a certain period (of years?) before liquidating the business?

FWIW in UK it's possible for works to be too generic to attract copyright, or to be slavish reproductions (eg as photos).

ID images have their parameters dictated by technical needs - no smiling, plain background, even lighting, no eyewear, head only, face-on - and so leave no room for artistry.

An ID photo might lack copyright.

I know of no caselaw here (on copyright in ID shots) and am projecting from eg the "red bus" case (Temple Island v New English Tea).

Conservative states should not be able to force words into the mouths of physicians (or teachers, or whoever), and neither should liberal states.

Is there something about a Tesla that could account for this or is it just modern best practices for safety along with a non-trivial amount of good luck?
For a minute my Reddit persona/brain read this as Tesla Stock plummeted off a cliff, as if it were facetious. Not as if it was a real event.
Surround yourself with people that share whatever your culture or sense of being is. You will feel far less alone and down trodden.

My home society had shops during my life time that had recruitment signs that said things like "Catholics need not apply" or not long before that signs that said "No dogs, no Irish".

But we are just fighting among ourselves for scraps. We are lied to continually and our ire is constantly misdirected.

Since Roman times the world has been ruled by oligarchies of one form or another. Those are the people who would never give you or I the time of day. We are nothing but cattle, locked in our homes, mass medicate and marched off to the slaughter fields.
> although they do make many trade-offs to be trustless, private and censorship resistant which means that in practice they are an inferior alternative to fiat currencies & traditional finance if you have the option to use those, so the only legitimate use that remains is either grey area/unlawful transactions or legal transactions in locations where traditional payment rails do not exist or are outdated

Is this supposed to be an argument for cryptocurrencies, because this sounds like one that shows why they are a scam.

What with the many medical studies demonstrating treatment efficacy, it’s hardly surprising that scare-mongering anecdotes and ignorance-based commentary are downvoted.
You have it backwards. Bitcoin (and related pure decentralized coins) is probably the only thing retaining credibility right now. Everything with a CEO, premine, ICO, web3, defi, is in question.
Hindsight is 20/20 and all. How many other problems were identified at Fukushima and other reactors throughout Japan that were considered to be equally or more risky? If you cannot answer this question then how can you conclude that this was "preventable" in any useful sense?
The question is if it a) was an honest mistake (maybe in combination with reckless driving) or b) purposeful self-harm.
it's actually the perfect resolution for this size - since it finally gets you 2x scaling with "previously native" font sizes.

we started with around 100dpi when 1920x1200 screens where trendy. Font and UI sizes on those were pretty good - but the screens lacked real estate (small size) and clarity (low DPI).

27" 1440p and then 4k screens improved on that, but they were never good enough to go for 2x scaling - which will provide both more real estate and more clarity. One had to pick either unnaturally tiny fonts or fractional scaling which messed up some UI sizes.

With 5k 27" and 6k 32" screens the compromises should be gone. It's a natural 2x (retina) display, just like Apple had them on notebooks for lots of years.
So curl it but don’t pipe it into shell.

Imagine the state of the world if Brendan Eich had known about Lua and spent those nine days integrating that into Netscape. I believe it had a compatible license, even back in 1995.
I mean custom as in "I wrote it myself". It's not based on a slow and bloated UI framework. Hopefully it's fairly standard from a Windows point of view though.

Indeed - this was my first concern. How many of these local web servers are properly implementing CSP and the myriad of other protections you need to (securely) run a local web server that isn't vulnerable to CSRF from other origins etc?

I've been told by folks at a Big 3 management consulting firm that everything for the c-suite has to be in Powerpoint—no matter how inappropriate that is for the material—and written like it's for a child, or they flat-out won't read it. Yes, read it. The decks mostly aren't intended to ever be presented, just read.
How did we manage to post that same observation almost simultaneously?
It's surprising the batteries didn't catch fire, this seems very lucky indeed.

I recall back when they added titanium shielding in front of the Model S battery in response to multiple fires caused by hitting road debris. The hazards in dropping off a tall, craggy cliff at speed seems pretty out of scope for those defenses.
Questions to you:

1. Do you run your own email server?

2. How do you feel about your email provider reading your messages and banning you based on what you write?

3. How do you feel about not being able to email your friend because their email server admins don't like what someone else writes in Google Groups from an email from your provider?

>He should be able to talk and interact with anyone, regardless what they want!

Oh right. Like I care about "freeze peach".

On that note, this doesn't stop bad actors either, who just create an account on a different instance.
My impression is, most of them want better pay. (And probably better hours, as some of these business owners wear many hats, and work very long days.)
A second button on your website beside the "RSS" button that says "RSS but with fancy features." when you click on it, it is the same content on your blog but via a substack newsletter.

I believe that has all the features you listed as wants.

I am kind of half joking but people do have very specific ways they want to consume content even if it is the same content.
Why not try asking ChatGPT for this? It may work!
Wireless only charging would be wasteful as it's rather inefficient (most tests show about 50% more energy put in to achieve the same charge) and this magnetic system is unlikely to work well for anyone who uses a case to achieve good coil alignment... I really hope the market doesn't go in this direction.
my grandmother tells a story that my late grandfather rolled his car down devil's slide in the 60s. He landed up right on the beach. She's known to extend the truth, so who's to say if it actually happened.
A friend of mine (not in Japan) took over the family business. Previous to this, he was a "second chef" (is that a thing?) at a relatively well known restaurant regionally.

He took a ~25% paycut, he works harder and longer than he did before (as a chef, mind you, regularly known for 100+ hour weeks), spends close to half of that time driving, and often sleeps in the office. He went from probably being a few years away from running his own three star restaurant to running an unsalable, shrinking business, owns 400k worth of similarly unsalable equipment, in a slowly dwindling industry (dry cleaning).

His marriage has fallen apart (did I mention he moved 3 hours away from his wife + children to run the business), his mental health seems atrocious, and the only thing the future seems to hold for him is a piece of a slowly shrinking pie.

His father built a burgeoning postwar business that gave his family a good life, but markets change, and businesses that once made sense no longer do.
Wow. Using a free fall calculator to put it into perspective.

There are no secret $250M sureties. The $250M sureties are his parents. The other sureties were to be, per the original order, for a lesser amount not specified at the time.

> "Without prejudice" seems to assume the government might oppose the redactions at some point in the future. What are the chances of that.

Since the motion has to be filed by 1/12/2023, its not a really broad “some point in the future”; given this was done on th hearing and the motion doesn’t seem to have been available much, if at all, in advance, I would assume that the government heard it, saw no immediate reason to object, but asked the court for a short period to review and consider if there were issues that weren’t apparent.

Probably fairly low probability.
Maybe it's obviously bullshit to attempt to hold one of the biggest banks in the US responsible for the behaviour of a single client?
Teslas has very high, better than almost all other cars, crash test scores for three main reasons:

1. They have a very low centre of gravity, due to the battery, less likely to roll.

2. They are heavy (again due to battery), the heavier car in a two car collision always comes off better.

3. There is no engine in the front, so larger crumple zones and no risk of finding an engine rammed into your legs.

All these properties are the same for all BEVs, Tesla "moat" of higher than standard crash scores is shrinking as other manufacturers launch BEVs.
Eventually you will be able to break large grids into smaller ones and still be as reliable as previously, thus eliminating longer runs of transmission lines and reducing power over the lines you cannot eliminate, which will reduce the sizes and costs of the lines, but not eliminate them. Someday, I would hope that you could tie small neighborhoods together as the grid cells, with very little interconnections needed between them.

I work in the industry, and my vision for the future is less about realtime power transmission and more about pooling energy in smaller grid cells, predicting the usage of the pooled energy in the future, and moving energy to the pools which will need more energy sometime in the future at a trickle rate based on predictions. The ideal situation is to reduce energy transfer to zero over time by distributing the energy generation densely amongst the most dense users of the energy. I don't think the industry is ready for such a step-change in thought yet, but someday electricity will be treated more like water than like it is today.
Japan has a very service oriented business culture and from what I can tell a lot of the loyalty is based on knowing the owner and their family. Is it possible so many Japanese are unwilling to take over a business because they predict that the longtime customers will feel alienated and underwhelmed by the relationship with the new owner? In other words, do potential buyers purposefully avoid taking over business because they know they cannot live up to expectations in the same way a family member can?
Long story but the tldr is that it happened in two stages. First someone figured out a way to reliably reproduce the problem. And then I spent a very long time single stepping through machine instructions until I had a eureka moment.
There are two cryptographers being discussed here. Peter Shor, and (Claus) Peter Schnorr.

Neither are Schor.

BTC can survive any interest rate/money supply maneuvering just like Gold has.
Without version 3 it would not have been where it stands today.

I fail to see how that is true. Python was already catching on in a big way back during python 2.7 and I'd guess it probably lost at least 18 month worth of momentum building with python 2->3.

I'd say Pythons popularity today is at best unrelated to python 3.
This is actually already built in the much maligned 'web3' that everyone loves to hate ( even if it deserves it sometimes)

Signing into something with your ethereum wallet works well, you get to pick how you store your keys and sign (brain, paper, encrypted file, hardware wallet) and if you use something like argent you can even have social password recovery if you want it for low impact applications.

While certainly there is an element of the "unknowable" unknowns that led to the singualar device dominating so many of these predictions, I have to also think that some of the examples are used to make these future scenarios relatable to the 1993 present uses.

For example, I can't imagine anyone at AT&T forward thinking enough to envision sending business communications from the beach thought we would be sending literal faxes.
You can absolutely drive up there when no one is there to stop you, though I think park rangers will stop you otherwise. You'll get some nice photographs of your car if you do.

Last time I was there, though, the road had eroded quite a bit and had crevasses big enough to get a wheel stuck in there.
No, you’d refuse to read the curl complaint because it’s too long, and instead arbitrarily decide that the entire discussion should hinge on issuing a challenge for them to find you one place where curl doesn’t work. And then when he does, you’d say “So what! No one wants curl there anyways!”

Afterwards you’d get involved in a long weird analogy discussion about two people arguing about git. But that fault would be shared by both of them.
