> Caltrain even lets people drink on the train and its not a problem, but it's because of the crowd they serve.

Even Caltrain gets rowdy on the game days, particularly with people on the bike cars refusing to give way to bikers boarding/deboarding in the intermediate stops. While this only happens occasionally, it made me miss my stop enough times (in addition to lack of safety with last mile biking) to completely give up on Caltrain.
The only way I can make sense of your comment is if you think everyone in a team/company is responsible for a roughly equal share of the output, which is not remotely the case. Good developers aren’t sandbagging, they’re carrying a disproportionate amount of their teams’ output. Or they’re doing solo or in pairs what would take entire teams of average contributors. Harder problems will magnify, not compress, the differences between individuals, as while ~everyone can build websites to some degree, not everyone can make a positive contribution of any size to the most hardcore problems.
I think this is a case where both takes are wrong, it’s a bad show, but not because of how they make fred a stereotype
Any specific reason?

The tricky thing with `pip freeze` is that it dumps your environment, not your resolved set: your environment also contains things like your `pip` and `setuptools` versions, any developing tooling you have, and potentially your global environmental state (if the environment has global access and you forget to pass `--local` to `pip freeze`).

In other words, it's generally a superset of the resolutions collected by `pip-compile`. This may or may not be what you want, or what your users expect!

Sure, this particular output seems uninteresting. I'd have to imagine that this is more of a tutorial or showcase than an attempt to create art.
I was about to write a comment about "Integrity Tests" (different from integration testing). The article mentions "Narrow Integration Tests" and "Collaborator-Based Isolation" which sound very similar.

I don't have a clear definition of integrity tests and would describe it as verifying the interface (or combined behaviour) of two classes/objects. [It's exceedingly difficult to google.] These tests can mock anything other than the things which are part of the interface being tested. The ones I wrote tended to be meta/generic in nature: e.g. validating that all valid inputs to one produce valid outputs from the pair, or invalid inputs to one call nothing outside of the pair, etc. Some slow integration testing with harder to setup/maintain data can be replaced with faster/simpler integrity tests.

Which would be fine and not an issue. Plagarism is already handled by copyright law.

What won't happen is "x in the style of y" suddenly becoming an enforceable infringement (whether AI produced or not)
You definitely need permission to make copies of people's art on your computers to use whilst learning though (copyright holders tend to be OK with or completely unaware of that, but it's a right they reserve)

More to the point, this feels like the "have your cake and eat it" of legal arguments. If we're going to anthropomorphise AI to the extent we argue storing data in its data corpus without authorisation is just like allowing a human to look at your legally owned stuff, and reinterpreting that data in a [sometimes not particularly] lossy fashion as a set of weights and biases is just like a human learning, we should probably follow the "AI is just like a person" argument through to its logical conclusion and hold it legally responsible for not respecting copyright law if it ever produces outputs with trademarked images or uncanny resemblance to copyrighted material that aren't deemed "fair use", just like a person would be.

(tbf, it's not too hard to imagine a world in which ChatGPT says "I'm sorry, but I am not able to write stories involving Mickey Mouse, because Mickey Mouse is the intellectual property of the Disney Corporation. Respecting intellectual property rights is very important", and I'm not sure that's an improvement...)
It does crash every couple of weeks due to bugs in either the packet driver, DESQview, the httpd or the fabric of time/space. I'll be testing other NICs to see if it behaves better.

I would have expected HN to take it down, though. So .. wow.
Can you be more specific? I'm not sure how this affects the argument I've laid out.

To be clear, my argument doesn't show that statistical generative approaches to art are violating copyright by using copyrighted data. It only shows that the argument "humans learn on copyrighted stuff therefore it's legal for AI to do it" isn't a sound argument.

Another argument that relies on the definition of derivative work might be able to show that you can train a model on copyrighted data without producing works that violate copyright.

However, what stable diffusion does bears no resemblance to "add 1 to each RGB value" and bears substantial resemblance to the human process of "learning".

Without litigating if the model is "learning" in a human analogous way, instead I think the burden is on showing that the model is "substantially copying" and to an equal or greater degree than what would be needed to consider a work derivative.
An example:

I also don’t get this.

If there are so many developers wasting their time taking themselves up the garden path working on useless tasks, why isn’t management doing its job?

Just seems weird to have this myth of the 10x developer when it’s clear that there’s no such thing: someone is either overqualified, or an organization just has really bad management.
Your argument would make Google illegal -- they are copying and indexing other people's content (including images, as it happens), to make a profit, on the backs of other people's work, without a license or permission.

But the courts have already ruled that this is not the case. Your argument is based on what makes sense to you, but not seemingly informed by actual copyright law.

It is harder and harder to get "what makes sense to me" to be consistent as digital technology changes the landscape, that is true. Not as a matter of law, but just your own moral sense, I'm curious if you think web-crawling for indexes for web searches (including image searches) ought to be legal. And if so, what's the difference?
Yes, they are weasels to publishers as much as they are to customers.
If you are willing to share some controversial or questionable piece of news on HN, it might be worth looking for alternative sources. Is it that hard to do a couple of searches rather than submitting the low-quality one with zero extra effort? Do you not want to be better informed yourself anyways?

My experience has been that the car does best when you’re driving at a steady speed of 25mph without having to stop. This is based on the internal chart that Tesla provides.

When you’re in stop and go, you actually use a lot more energy to go from 0->X but do not regenerate back enough when you come down to 0. On the other hand, maintaining a steady 25mph uses a lot less energy as compared to 0->X. Again, this is based on the Tesla energy usage data that they themselves show in car.
They seem too focused on automotive/car stereos to be it.

The catalog I'm recalling was cover to cover populated amplifier circuit boards accompanied by specs and prices. Lots of huge toroidal transformers... maybe it was a local thing back in IL.

The cover was mostly black with glowy green text IIRC, nothing like the vintage Crutchfield catalogs I can find via GIS/ebay. Oh well.
I think your title and your description may already show a little problem: You say you're lookin for a GA alternative, but what if GA was never the right tool for your use case, to begin with? Your use case description is pretty minimal:

> "I would like to see visitor numbers at times of day and probably a few more things in the future."

GA is a very complex tool, that often is complete overkill for small sites. So when you ask for GA alternatives, you will probably hear Matomo as a suggestion – but this also is in the same area of complexity as GA and would probably not be a good fit for your project (and it wouldn't solve your cookie problem without proper configuration).

So maybe a better question would be "What analytics tool should I use for project XYZ?"

If you want a minimal approach, take a look at Umami (https://umami.is/), which is about as minimal as it gets (when talking about frontend JS analytics tools).
My point is that "kill 'em" is exactly what we've already done to them, but we're too cowardly to admit it.

I have the same experience with my Kona EV. Official range 415 km, but in the summer it's actually ~450 km. (Not that I ever run 100%-0% of course, but I get 90 km going from 80% down to 60%.)
The linked article says this

> Long story short, there are legal rules and regulations allowing a company like WBD to write down costs incurred as part of a post-merger restructuring — but only for a short amount of time. Taking shows such as Minx or Westworld out of the HBO Max and, more importantly, WBD library will apparently help the megacorporation make its future balance sheets look a lot better. This isn’t just about saving a few thousand dollars on residual checks or licensing costs; it’s about writing down millions in amortization costs these titles would have incurred in coming years.

It still doesn’t make sense to me. What do they write down? They already paid for those shows! Several decades ago, in some cases. Can someone that understand accounting more explain?

I'd say that Node's package management has run laps around Python's, to the point where it's pretty embarrassing. Since it's relatively new, it was able to hit the ground running with best practices:

1. Declarative package manifests. Python's ecosystem is still a mess of various approaches, and the fact that you have to run the setup.py script to determine dependencies is a nightmare. Because of this, running dependency resolution and installing is an order of magnitude faster in Node than in Python.

2. Drop-dead simple isolated environments: everything's in `node_modules`. You literally can't make a mistake by blindly running `npm install` in the project dir. With Python it's on you to manage your virtualenv, which boils down to PATH manipulation and symlinks that you'll have to remember to undo when switching around. There's no default for what to call your venv either, so it's on you to settle on a standard and gitignore it. Every time you run `pip install`, you have to hesitate and make sure you're in the right environment, or else risk borking the wrong env (or your global!)

3. Out-of-the-box comprehensive lockfile support. Debugging Python dependency issues is a nightmare. There's literally no way to figure out why a dependency was installed without using 3rd party tools (like pipdeptree). In Node, simply running `npm install` will automatically generate a proper lockfile.

I work full stack, and the difference is like night and day. I barely think about dependency management in Node.

This is not true. At least for Teslas, the brake pedal only controls the friction brakes (they are hydraulically coupled). Same with a Chevy bolt. Unsure on other EVs

I doubt it would outperform EPA estimates (you can only recapture energy not create it afresh with regenerative braking), but compared to ICE cars the percentage of stated range would be very high.
No I'm looking at link 1 and specifically have an issue with the huge table of options for how to setup your pyproject.toml--it has tabs for hatchling, flit, pdm, etc. but _zero_ description of why I would want to use one of those tools. It's just more confusing, like you're being thrown a bag of parts and no description of what to build or how to do it.

To be honest that entire pypa doc should be like two paragraphs long instead of 1000+ words. It should be basically, "ok to package your python app just run <official python tool to init a package>, that's it you're done!". Every decision should be made for me, like it is with npm, cargo, etc. I shouldn't have to think beyond running one command.

That's what python end users need. We don't need a million tools and huge docs with seemingly no vision or goal. We need to get shit done and the less time we faff about with packaging and tooling the better.
This article was inspired by colleagues who are choosing their first EV and use the EPA range as an actual distance. I have colleagues that live > 100km from work. I wanted to point out that an EPA rating of 350km doesn't mean the car is a good match.
I find these patterns difficult to remember down the road for sites I don't use regularly.

Just to clarify, you can still use the Kindle for books purchased elsewhere or rented at a library. This article is specifically a restriction on "Kindle Unlimited" which is a spotify-like subscription for books.

Without this subscription, the Kindle still allows standard one-off downloads from the Amazon store (no surprise). But it can also accept epub and mobi file formats coming from anywhere. You can plug the Kindle in with a usb cable and move files over directly like a mass storage device. Alternatively, it offers a free "wireless transfer" service where you email epub, pbf, or mobi files to a randomly generated email address unique to your device. I use the email service frequently to transfer ePub files I get elsewhere and it works flawlessly. You send the email and open the kindle and it generally shows up in your library on the device near-instantly. It's very good.

If you use Calibre to manage your ebooks, it has a "send to Kindle" button, which is just using this email wireless transfer tool under the hood. You input your unique email address into Calibre and then when you click the "Send to Kindle" button that's how it works and it works well.

As mentioned earlier you can also transfer via usb. The newest Kindles also have USB-C which was a welcome addition.

Lastly I use my Kindle with books rented at the library. You just need a library card and a "Libby" account. The integration is a first-party integration, so no surprise it works essentially natively with Kindle. You choose an ebook at your local library and read it on your Kindle. The Kindle will even show you details about when the book is due and you can return it from the Kindle. It's all very good.

I know Kobo is considered more open because its not tied to Amazon. But I am a heavy Kindle user and have never felt weighed down by it being an Amazon device. I read books from a variety of sources. I buy books (computer books usually) from independent creators and I will send ePubs to Kindle, I will read books loaned from the library and I will also sometimes buy books directly from Amazon. The Kobo gives you the same functionality for the first two, but not the ease of purchasing from Amazon. Amazon is the largest book vendor in the world, so like it or not, I find myself still buying from there, so its nice to have that option.

I admit I have never paid for the Kindle Unlimited subscription. Its mostly low-quality novels pumped out by authors who publish 3-12 books a year. It is incredibly popular among Romance Novel readers (the largest genre of published books), but there are also lots of mystery and sci-fi books on there. But these aren't top quality NYTimes Top Selling books, they are low-rate airport novels in my experience.

Sure, but we know from the setup and I think it is fair to just assume a constant velocity which gives us this countably infinite sequence of distances and times, both getting shorter geometrically. And their partial sums have a finite limit. In essence you seem to be stuck because you have to complete an infinite number of tasks, but that is just the wrong measure, i.e. you must measure the time or distance, not the number of tasks in order to determine if you can complete all the tasks. Just walk from start to goal, there is no task in Xeno's infinite task list where he could say that you did not complete it. The problem is that Xeno can not give you the complete list of tasks if he tries to enumerate them one by one, not that you can not complete them all. Instead of enumerating them, he should just tell you to visit all places 2^-n for all natural n, you walk one meter and are done.
I suggest that people simply run Stable Diffusion Deforum themselves (there's an extension for automatic1111's web UI). You can run it in a google colab notebook and the cost will likely be cheaper or the same, though I haven't bothered to compare.
