Twitter used to (not sure how much did that idiot fck it up) be quite great from this perspective from what I gathered. They had technical blog posts and are even featured in the famous data intensive book as an example for many scaling problems. Sure, they didn’t write it in assembly but instead use Java/Scala with Graal, but architecturally they had a sound system (plus what people routinely forget, the system should handle the general load, but it worths nothing if it fails at peaks, and twitter can easily hit a billion daily users during big global events)z
Wouldn't offending muslims be punching down then?
Resolve and Nuke are also node based

So yeah, I'd agree that because one is a nerd does not mean they are well versed in all things nerdy.
The G4s were the period during which Apple transitioned from Classic MacOS to Mac OS X.

Early G4s all could boot Classic. The last few couldn't. No G5s can.

(Note: all PowerMacs that can run Mac OS X 10.0-10.4 can run Classic inside the integrated "Blue Box" VM.)

The Mirrored Drive Door PowerMac G4 models that come with Firewire 800 can't boot Classic natively. Others after that, such as the Mac mini G4, and iBook G4, can't either.

Apple disabled Classic from booting by modifying the later machines' firmware.

A community of hackers has been finding ways around this, and now for some models there are special editions of Classic MacOS 9.2.2 that later G4 machines can run, which they couldn't at launch.

Interestingly, our solar panels seem to shed the snow pretty fast, in fact faster than the plain roof. I guess the black cells warm up in the sunlight and the snow just slides off them after a couple of days. Pre-solar, we used to have to rake the roof to prevent ice dams from building up, but no longer.
> I wonder. Why are this classes still opened to muslim students?

Because this is an exaggeration:

> Students don't seem to appreciate the effort. Each single time, somebody will feel justified to use this situation to feel outraged and punish the teacher.

I don't know what causes you to feel this way, but it's just not true. That some students cause outrage at one small school, that doesn't mean students or Muslims writ large feel the same, or that "every single time" Muhammad is depicted something like this happens. Frankly it seems like the opposite it true; the last time this was controversy in the news that I can remember were the terrorist attacks a decade ago. If it's true that Muslim students will use this to punish teachers and feel outraged, why doesn't it happen more often?

Really all that seems to be happening here is that a student got more upset than they should have, the school overreacted more than they should have, and now the anti-woke internet mobs (because the reactionaries are just as bad as the activists at this point) are overacting as well.
Yeah, sucks right? Not criticizing you, but I just think, about this idea, that that justification only goes so far for a person--we need better meaning stories around why we suffer than just "to evolve". Doesn't really give someone much comfort I think. :) Ugh...
Pretty much all the "public discourse" you're seeing is a tiny bubble. Day to day life for the vast majority of people here is unchanged.

As for your second point, you're playing a no true Scotsman game where the only real liberal is hyper focused on money. Identity politics has almost wholly consumed the attention of the American left. Even during a press announcement of a bill to legalize marijuana in MN, a good portion of the talk was about racial justice.

CNN has recently sacked a number of people or cancelled shows to get away from the blatantly partisan content they were producing. The NYT has had a number of controversies recently over internal fights among editors and staff that their coverage wasn't biased enough.

Meanwhile, redistributive economics marches on in the background. Trillions given out to everyone and anyone, plus long extensions of unemployment payouts during COVID. Municipalities playing with "UBI" schemes which are targeted at minority groups like BIPOC or gender non-conforming individuals.

Union support is generally unpopular outside of some groups, because unions have some powers here that would be illegal in most other Western countries, and that gets abused. Of all of the "left wing" positions, expanding unions is probably the lowest priority for that reason. I'll bring it up every time the topic comes up, because it truly is that important: the SEIU tried to take money from government benefits paid to mentally or physically disabled people in MN, and if I'm not mistaken, they are doing so in other states. Unions in the US are not what people in other countries expect when they wonder why American union participation is so low.
How is this even a question? Of course ads can be GDPR compliant! There's nothing non-compliant about putting some PNG with an ad on your site.

The question being asked is, can spyware be made GDPR-compliant if we just get the user to hit "accept". That's a much more difficult question. But do not conflate adverts and spyware. It doesn't have to be this way.
Yeah, and the idea that these programs can't have affordances is silly reliance on a definition that ignores what can happen.

It clearly proves too much - humans have a limited action space - they can only move muscles. So they can't truly explore a larger action space, so they cannot be general intelligences.

But more specifically, if something is within an LLM's action space, whether or not you call it an affordance doesn't change whether it gets explored and used. And perhaps you'd argue that their action space is limited because they are in a box. But hook an LLM up to the internet to allow it to query and retrieve data, and suddenly the action space is essentially infinite. So the limitation isn't the model, it's how the model was hobbled by being denied access to the world.
> So when needed communication happens, it's just generally back and forth commentary in a bug is not a particularly good or efficient way to discuss implementation of bug fixes, features, etc.

I disagree, because whether it's the intention or not ("it's a bug tracker being used to track bug fixes, not a tool for communicating with arbitrary people not involved in the project"), the bug report de facto becomes an important historical record for understanding the code. In the future, when someone looks back, the question that often comes to mind is "Why?" Why this (that)? Why now (then)? The motive, the historical context, is rarely something that becomes evident just looking at the code, even code with comments.

Can I change this code? Can I delete this code? How did this code ever work? You can't rely on unit tests to tell you the story behind the code. And when you come upon some "questionable" code, it's equally likely that the comments and/or tests are questionable too.

If the code was written to handle something publicly important, if debates were had, alternatives considered, choices made and rejected, that's worth knowing, in my opinion.
I’ve changed mine once after 4 years of moderate use in a quite well insulated 1700 sqft apartment with wood floors, no carpets but a decent amount of visitors and occasional tiny dog.

Those filters were used though, no idea for how long (they only had like 70 hours on them according to the onboard tracking, but that would be easy to manipulate even by accident)

This essentially tracks with the numbers presented here https://www.iqair.com/newsroom/why-you-need-to-replace-your-...

IQair recommends a yearly replacement for my HEPA filter, but my environment had a fairly low amount of particulates to begin with (new building with filtered air intakes) and workload split between multiple units.
This article formulaically recommends 4 ways a manager can moderate human problem solving. I think the question is, how can we tell a mediocre manager apart from AI?
From my point of view discussion is about what was written in the article: "project", "product" or a "system". Which for me requires team of developers, QA, business analysts and cannot be grasped by a single developer.

I also have small tools that can run after 5 years but I don't see these as interesting argument in the context of article.
> I don’t think bigger always needs to be more complex.

And yet, the bigger a software company gets, the more labyrinthine its systems get. Ask any software or IT engineer who was at, say, Amazon, Facebook, or Google, as the company grew from serving a few hundred thousand customers to hundreds of millions of customers.

Similarly, the bigger a country is, the more labyrinthine its systems are (tax, legal, regulatory, etc.). Large distributed systems tend to become very complex, even though no one wants them to be. There are always many competing interests negotiating with each other and reaching compromises that no one likes.
Yes. But even if you pay for a month placement on a given site, the ad buyer is still going to want an estimate of how many legitimate viewers see/saw your ad.

It probably works better on things like podcasts but the bottom line is that you can't really trust me to tell you how many viewers my site had without some fraud detection mechanisms in place. (And even then fraud is apparently pretty rampant.)
I always find "but they're small" to be a lazy argument for things like this - I heard it recently in regards to Estonia's digital services also.

"It's easy for them to do, but we're a huge country with near-infinite resources, we couldn't possibly". I mean sure, it means you have to scale the operation to match, which is why the IRS has more staff than the Faroes have population. But "we can't take on these projects, we're too big" makes it sound like we should have expected Belgium to land on the moon instead of the US.
> And insulting any religions is not acceptable and deserve to be punished.

Why?

I believe all religions are a bunch of bullshit. Almost all of them regard this belief as a mortal insult. Should I get punished for that?

The only tenable way to treat religions in a liberal democracy is like any other belief. You get full freedom to practice any one you want, or none of them, or even more than one at the same time for all I care, but you don't get any special status or moral authority.
There’s a difference between “not as profitable as I’d like” and “unprofitable”. The rest of us are talking about the positive net incomes they reported in recent years and would have reported last year except for that lawsuit payment. Especially here, I would expect someone to be familiar with the way tech companies have often been marginally profitable for years because they were focused on other metrics like growth. Twitter was often subject to unrealistic comparisons with wildly popular companies like Facebook or Google but since they were already doing it it there’s little reason to believe they wouldn’t have been a profitable medium-sized company.
Depends what you call tracking. Just like a newspaper company knows how many copies they distribute a website would know how many copies they've sent over the line.

You might not trust them but I don't see why you'd think a newspaper would have a harder time claiming they've made more copies than they have.
Being open source does not make anything inherently more secure.

It adds transparency and possibly confidence but for those without the resources to review the designs themselves it still boils down to a matter of trust in the competence of those maintaining the design. The potential trial for security does not equal security.

Most arguments in favor of open source security boil down to speculating about what's behind the curtain of closed systems. That's not really the same thing as security.

One thing that open source does do is lay bare any undiscovered flaws for future discovery, and exploitation.
In a Ukraine Workshop, Building the Perfect Grenade with Tape and a 3D Printer
This overall thread is interesting because it keeps bouncing back and forth, almost literally, between it being managers or engineers who like to work on things unimportant. As an engineer who has never managed outside of interns, I find both can be equally damaging.

Although, an engineer pre-accustomed to in the weeds work who has no management guiding what to work on can be the worse because they can create work for the other engineers that can have zero motivating context, other than they think it’s what needs to be done. And they will report to management all these technical details that somehow appear to bolster the need but don’t actually. I am no fan of management, but working with these types of engineers can be infuriating because you end up getting sucked into their random deep dive that is messy and full of edge cases that ultimately matters zilch. I will pretty actively communicate to management that, look, if you don’t step in we’ll be following this engineer to the ends of the earth.

An example I can think of is one engineer being obsessed with making a once a year report being as optimized and performant as possible, while also being obsessed with “cleaning up” the data and fixing so-called discrepancies at the report level, making little hot fix patches everywhere, rather than working with the teams that were generating the supposedly bad data in the first place. I did everything I could to avoid working on that because it was nothing but being mired in details and things that literally no one but them cared about. These types of engineers can be black holes of productivity.
I talk about this at the end of the post as well. I think a ratings panel approach doesn't apply well to the web because the web is so fragmented. (In a good way! I like that there are lots of independent sites!)

Unless you had something like 10% of real users or a super representative 1% I think you'd have a big problem with getting realistic numbers outside huge sites.
> get to the fun parts

What fun parts? You just grind more, perhaps in a group. Or a larger group. I know, I could probably still lead a Kharazan (of the Burning Crusade flavor) raid from memory. The only fun part of WoW is the group interaction.

The sad thing is when people have only played WoW and its successors and start thinking this is the only way to do a game...
Yikes! I can't imagine working like this. Every node based editing system I have used behaves exactly like you describe where adding/dropping a node on a connection between to existing nodes automatically connects the new node as expected.

The only time I've seen this add new, disconnect, make new connections are in chart/graph programs like Omnigraffle or similar programs people draw up database schemas and network topologies. Maybe the devs came from that kind of world?
Would You Zap Yourself with Electricity to Get into Shape?
Based on the prompt information we have, "–v 4 –ar 3:2" are options that are provided to Midjourney. -v 4 indicates version 4 of their model (which produces very aesthetically pleasing output) and -ar 3:2 specifies an aspect ratio of 3 by 2.

Windy is great as well and I have been using that as well for forecasting, but one thing that’s missing compared to the Rainviewer/DarkSky seems to be the “real time” alerts.
Thats what I believe DarkSky never supported outside US/UK - doppler radar or whatnot based notifications that seemed to be its main selling point. Apple Weather doesn’t support next hour precipitation notifications either outside UK/Ireland and US:
> Next-hour precipitation forecasts and precipitation notifications are available for Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Nielsen ratings were a decent approximation and I would submit that the cost to print gave a certain incentive to try and get people to see the publication. With digital advertising it is easy to make many times more fake traffic than the site will ever have.

To your other point, the "certain percentage" is most of it and we won't have all that much to discuss here.
I feel this should be discussed more often.

Less than a hundred years ago you would have factories in city centres and people commuting there from within a walking distance.

Nowadays both environmental regulations and land prices pushed all that to the outskirts.

The last 30km along the expressway leading to my home city are lined with factories, logistics centres and whatnot and I'm sure most workers there commute by car.
You can measure traffic anonymously or pseudonymously without violating GDPR. Monitoring of traffic for a website owner is inarguably legitimate interest if even just for DOS protection. The tracking discussed in this article is not about traffic measurement, it's much deeper individual tracking.

Also...

> the circulation is not a secret

Isn't it? Like yes, there's a published figure, but is it verifiable?

If we're discussing potential for "fraud" here, I don't really see how there's any difference between online and print circulation.
Another round, another fail. Had one person joining the server and :gasp: waving at me, but they disconnected afterwards :sad_trombone:

While a very small sample size, even those who did end up joining weren't interested in having a chat. So it might be the case that this isn't as needed as much as I thought it would be.

On the flip side, I'm glad I didn't put that much effort into it. I had some friends who suggested a much more sophisticated bot.
2023 Apple Hardware Roadmap, Including Reality Pro Mixed-Reality Headset
Seems RedFrames is similar to pyjanitor, which is maturer if only comparing existence time: https://github.com/pyjanitor-devs/pyjanitor
Hold it in memory? Sure. But actually working with it besides copying it around and doing some operation on a “row-by-row” basis? Not really.
Yeah, tried Polars a couple of times: the API seems worse than Pandas to me too. eg the decision only to support autoincrementing integer indexes seems like it would make debugging "hmmm, that answer is wrong, what exactly did I select?" bugs much more annoying. Polars docs write "blazingly fast" all over them but I doubt that is a compelling point for people using single-node dataframe libraries. It isn't for me.

Modin (https://github.com/modin-project/modin) seems more promising at this point, particularly since a migration path for standing Pandas code is highly desirable.
There's something much worse than including a library header with "", which is a library including its own headers (in the same directory) with <>! That means the user has no choice but to modify the include path.
People reading what you wrote are faced with uncomfortable introspection regarding the underlying ideology:

"Twitter now allows stuff i disagree with, so them being in financial trouble is good, because stuff i disagree is bad". Where as your post forces them to think through how is it that twitter is in financial trouble all the sudden, but not before, and whether that is an accurate representation of reality versus a narrative to appeal to the aforementioned bias. People go out of their way to avoid cognitive dissonance, so downvote.
And if you count the currency as an "export", it's not really a deficit at all - just exporting currency.
To expand on this:

Carrot weather is a somewhat silly weather app. It is serious in that it aims to provide a very solid outlook on the weather with a highly customizable UI -- in fact you can even recreate the dark sky app’s UI if you'd like. However it is silly in that it comes with an “AI” “assistant” who spawns challenges and achievements.

I don't mind much but it can be a bit distracting in a weather app for the assistant to talk about our relationship.
Yeah although ad buyers of any sophistication knew going in that a lot of certain newspapers were hotel copies (though arguably a lot of people read those), trade rags vs. consumer subscriptions, general vs. niche, etc. and took that into account.

They still didn't have a great idea of how effective they were a lot of the time of course.
Nice! So it seems demand is so high they can increase their prices.

Do you know what the capacity of a single system is? Could one unit be shared between multiple residential units?
Errors while copying files within a HDD disk
I have a question: if what you have to write in order to create your beautiful and aesthetically pleasing proof, and thereby "establish your ethos and character" (presumably as a righteous and good), is an ugly and fragile instance of a poorly designed, inherently unreadable, archaic language that embodies none of the characteristics you are after, can the result really be "a work of art that combines both the precision and creativity of your logical thinking, as well as the elegance of a beautifully typeset writing?"
Which provision of the GDPR explicitly defines “freely given” to exclude “sale of consent”? Again, I know this is conventional wisdom that gets passed around a lot, but as far as I can tell it’s not present in the actual text of the regulation.

e: I see a stealth edited reference to recital 43, which I hadn’t seen before and does seem to show I’m wrong here. Thanks for the reference.
I started drumming at 41. I already play guitar (in a band even) but I always wanted to be a drummer. Unfortunately drums are a loud and cumbersome instrument and living in an apartment makes it very difficult to practice.

I started with a 'DW "Go Anywhere" Practice Kit' and I added a cheap "Millenium Still Series Cymbal Set".

It's not a loud setup but preventing the kick drum vibrations to annoy my neighbours has also been a challenge so I guess I also have fun experimenting with that.

English is not my first language, sorry if I sound weird.

I'm not sure it's almost impossible. Let's look at the two biggest email providers out there.

1) GSuite. Here's their data processing terms https://cloud.google.com/terms/data-processing-addendum/inde...

2) Office365. Here you go https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/docs/view/Microsoft-Prod...

So both of them will absolutely sign one. Maybe you don't like google and microsoft. Let's look at some others. What about Fastmail?

https://www.fastmail.help/hc/en-us/articles/6049922252943-Fa...

Basically any legitimate email service will sign a gdpr-compliant data processing agreement as far as I can see. Certainly all the ones I have ever used do.
Sounds to me a lot like people that have a narrow and shallow level of experience in the field they are diving into, so they keep bumping into the walls.

Benchmarking OpenAI GPT-3 vs Other Proprietary APIs (GCP, AWS, MS Azure, etc.)
By definition it's divisive or there wouldn't be sides. I think you mean it's controversial, in which case, it is but only to one side of the divide.
