We recently had an ad-hoc experiment like this as well "give us basic config management code to download a service, add a systemd service for it, deploy a config and setup reloading of the service"

And it had some funny mistakes in there - something called "Reload service XYZ" and it was actually a hard restart of the service, rather silly file locations and such, sure.

But at the same time, it saved us an hour or two of boilerplate setup and even dug up a somewhat smart way to validate the configuration for this very specific service. This allowed us to jump more into understanding the service, tuning the config and setting up good tests for the setup instead of the same boring 20 resources in a config management.

I guess I could also ask if we could have some better form of service or config management which eliminates this boilerplate... but ChatGPT made our current day-to-day work a little easier there.

> If you had enabled Find My Mac on a T2 equipped mac, factory reset WON'T unlock the device.

I don’t think that’s true, I’ve never had to do that, and this is not a part of Apple’s documented reset process for resale of a machine. If you are the device’s actual owner and you use the simple process Apple outlines, it will reset it for a new owner, period.
YES! ^^^ My favorite job, years ago, involved co-workers that I actually enjoyed spending time with. I looked forward to going into the office. I enjoyed staying late. The bosses/managers were generally jerks, but my co-workers were great.

I can see the advantages of this feature, but like all things, it will take a while for people to become used to it.

I think the quality will keep improving, because humans will keep curating the training data to compete for best results. The downside is that "quality" is conflated with "performs best for a particular audience and platform" which could just as easily mean re-ingesting junk and spitting it back out... because that's what people respond to.

> Going from virtually zero regulation of A.I. to an entire federal agency would not pass Congress.

So we agreed that we can't move fast, even if needed, and look for workarounds, it seems.

However the idea of a federal agency analogous to FDA looks promising.
Yes, but then you are stealing mail. Which is bad. For a relatively small payoff.
Most of the public supports "reform," sure. Just half the country wants reform that looks like more privatization, harsher sentences, less probation/parole, more pre-trial incarceration, fewer books available, lower cost/quality food, fewer medical services available, etc. etc.

GP began with “if I were in prison”, so I meant it more like “but you’re not in prison, because you’re distinct from those who are”.
We like to believe that the problem is just "our own adult psychosis", but I spend my days around many people over quite a range of ages (including elderly) and it is very obvious to me that cognitive abilities decline in the way shown in the charts you have probably seen (or, it feels to me, even more dramatically) and that it is apparent at an earlier age that we would like to think. Old people lose the ability to infer - if they know two Johns and I say something about one of them (just referred to as "John"), they will be confused even though it should be easy to infer which I meant. That might not be a surprise, but from my experience the same effect can be traced back linearly to much earlier ages, to those mature students in your university class, who were probably only 40, and who continually caused us to roll our eyes by asking questions with obvious answers - even at that age they had lost some of the ability we had to infer the answers from what we had already been taught. Such abilities are useful when coming up with ideas for new products, so I have no doubt that the likelihood of doing it successfully declines rapidly with age.
Not as badly. Biden signed a bill capping the per minute rate for phone calls from prison. When it takes effect, the costs will be capped at 25 cents per minute.

Still insane, but better than the alternative.

Part of the issue is, Elasticsearch isn't an open-source logging platform--it's a search-oriented database. Effectively using it as an open-source logging platform highly depends on the config vs things optimized only for logs out of the box.

I imagine you'd have similar issues with Postgres or any general purpose datastore without the correct configuration.
"The kinds of people in there" are not very different from you or me and treating them as other is merely a cognitive opioid to comfort ourselves with treating prisoners with cruelty.
I doubt many people would argue against their usefulness. The problem is management of the scooters when not in use.

Even out in the suburbs, the local sidewalks have them discarded haphazardly. Not in a charging stand, not in a group, just ad hoc lying across the sidewalk. The bike share has dedicated stands for groups of 10-20 bikes - this makes far more sense to me than users just dropping them in the sidewalk or street when they're done riding.

If you're an older pedestrian, or otherwise mobility challenged (but able to walk), they're a nightmare.
ChatGPT is like the friend you have who "knows everything" and routinely "um actually"s people and says fact sounding things with great confidence and if you press them on details continue doubling down on their nonsense with great confidence until you start getting close to them admitting they don't know jack shit and they get really angry.

ChatGPT doesn't do the getting really angry part because it can't feel shame or insecurity about not knowing things.

Responsibility and ownership always lies with the humans. Even supposedly 100% AI generated content is still coming from a process started and maintained by humans. Currently also prompted by a human.

The humans running those processes can attempt to deny ownership or responsibility if they so choose but whenever it matters such as in law or any other arena dealing with liability or ownership rights, the humans will be made to own the responsibility.

Same as for self-driving cars. We can debate about who the operator is and to what extent the manufacturers, the occupants, or the owners are responsible for whether the car causes harm but we'll never try to punish the car while calling all humans involved blameless. The point of holding people responsible for outcomes and actions is to drive meaningful change in human behaviors in order to reduce harms and encourage human flourishing.

In terms of ownership and intellectual property, again the point of even having rules is to manage interactions between humans so we can behave civilly towards each other. There can be no meaningful category of content produced "100%" by AI unless AI become persons under the law or as considered by most humans.

If an AI system can ever truly produce content on its own volition, without any human action taken to make that specific thing happen, then that system would be a rational actor on par with other persons and we'll probably begin the debate over whether AI systems should be treated as people in society and under the law. That may even be a new category distinct from human persons such as it is with the concept of corporate persons.
TL;DR:

-"Even older versions of the tank have modern optics, including thermal imaging, that allow it to operate day and night, as well as magnification and a laser range finder to track targets."

-"The tanks are built to move quickly, with a maximum speed of around 44 miles per hour despite their 55-ton weight, according to the manufacturer."

-"Compartmentalized ammunition storage avoids the devastating “jack-in-the-box” explosions seen with Russia’s T-72 tanks, where ammunition is stored below the crew."

-"The tank is powered by a diesel engine, which is relatively easy to refuel and gives the vehicle an extended range of about 210 miles on road."

-"It also uses standardized NATO 120mm ammunition, which would grant Ukraine access to a larger pool of suppliers than its current tanks, which require 125mm."
What a ridiculous presumption.

Is there anything resembling evidence that the current system of incarceration selects the "kinds of people" to whom you refer, rather than arbitrarily from the population, weighted by money and melanin?
Tell that to Tony Blinken and MBS...
Tool to compare car sizes over the years
I am using marp since about 2 years for my lectures. I have started to use markdown with presentations with deckset.com, however it seems as the developer stopped support and development. Also it's mac only which defeats one of the good reasons to use markdown (platform independence).

Generally it's nice for me to have content summarized in text only form. I have generally been distracted by all the layout features i need to define with any other presentation tool.

What i was missing was some layouts in marp, such as left / right splitting for images and text. However it's possible to use markdown-it plugins with marp which makes that possible.

Using pandoc is another nice addition which makes it possible to generate pptx from the files, however it's not supporting the markdown-it plugin definitions. To share something it's still better then the marp's pptx export which creates images in the presentations.

Generally i am missing good support for video's in most presentation tools. Also most presentation tools i have encountered only work on specific browsers. I'd love to share the presentations as html which is currently not feasible.
> Subtype of type A is a subset of type A. Supertype is a superset. Easy.

I think it is correct.

Example:

type A = { a: number }

type B = { a: number, b: number }

B is not a superset of A, it's a subset and subtype of A. You can use B every time you want to use A.

In other words, of all types that can be assigned to A or used in functions and types expecting an A, B is one of those subsets.

type C = { a: number, c: number }

is another subtype of A.

A "subtype" C can be substituted in place of its "supertype" A.

Both C and B are subsets of A, in other words: in the infinite set of values of type A, some can be grouped in a type B or C. C itself is a subtype of A.
There’s reasons for that though.

I could drop a few more watts if ASRock could put together a decent BIOS where disabling things actually disables things.

SuperMicro costs what it does for a reason.

If you’re looking for a chassis, I’m using a SilverStone RM21-308, with a Noctua NH-L9a-AM4 cooler, and cut some SilverStone sound deadening foam for the top panel of the 2U chassis.

Aside from disks clicking, it’s silent, runs hilariously cool (I 3D printed chipset and HBA fan mounts at a local library) and it’s more usable storage, higher performance (saturates 40Gbps trivially) and lower power consumption than anything any YouTuber has come remotely close to. That server basically lets me have everything else in my rack not care much about storage, because the storage server handles it like a champ. I really considered doing a video series on it, but I’m too old to want to deal with the peanut gallery of YouTube comments.
Sure, and I'm not trying to defend the performance of Firefox on MacOS (I wouldn't know). But it's easy to see why it's not necessarily Mozilla's highest priority. Hell, there are probably more Firefox users on Windows XP than Firefox users on Linux (this may sound like hyperbole, but I know for a fact it was true as of no less than five years ago).
They have NextCloud in their "marketplace" (at no cost) for easy install.
I just got the ChromeOS version (Intel 12th too) and I am pretty happy with it too
Watch, they'll have Kenyans review the output. It'll be human curated AI stuff, wonder if it'll be a new take on curated directories?
But security is about more than what you do at the end of a machine’s ownership, it’s all the things you have to consider while the machine is out in the world with very sensitive information on it. And now those security departments have much less to worry about because of this security architecture in the chip.

As the sibling commenter points out, this should also result in less waste as those drives do not need to be destroyed if the device is properly unlocked.

I always enjoy the typical "You're wrong [then inadvertently point out how we're both saying the same thing, with the only distinction being that one of us is attempting to simplify while the other is attempting to show off knowledge]."

I've learned from personal experience that starting a reply with "You're wrong" is an anti-pattern most of the time. Instead, framing additional context/knowledge constructively can enrich conversation rather than shutting it down (and making things unnecessarily combative).

But to your point: We're both saying the same thing, I'm just being reductive on purpose.
> With new apple machines there is no possibility of this.

It isn't necessary to destroy the physical media anymore, so that reduction in e-waste is fine with me. Just properly erase the device by clicking the button in settings.
I’m looking forward to twitter. When they start hosting video in a serious way and also long documents that will be very interesting. I think it’s ironic because all the people defiantly switching to a decentralized platform are just making twitters success more inevitable by drawing attention to platforms that will fail regardless rather than one of twitters serious competitors. The real decentralized system has been in front of us the whole time: the market. Only nerds will ever use federated, decentralized systems, only nerds will ever accept the trade offs that come with them. Regular people don’t act on principle, especially on things they don’t know anything about. Centralized platforms like twitter will continue to dominate because huge numbers of people will use them and feed them with the breath of life.
I cannot believe that we are living in a world where people would rather their machine get completely bricked and thrown in the dump than have the potential to be used by future generations for countless tasks and innovations. Do we not see the loss? Do we not care about waste? Why in the world would we be okay with bricked devices never being operational again? It clearly doesn't prevent theft, it only prevents use. Even when it wasn't stolen, and rather was improperly recycled, we have a responisbility to make these machines usable again. I personally cannot wait for someone to figure out how to jump the T2 chip, resolving this issue once and for all. Shame on all of us for being so shortsighted.
Understanding "what a big deal it is" != literally half the home page being freaking AI posts every day, most of which are just bloviating.
Apple and T-mobile requires this also for their own buyback program. I assume they are going to be reusing the phones/watch/... in another context.
Cool I work in spatial transcriptomics, it's still early days but not too far off we're going to get great resolution and great capture. Especially for the brain, and maybe even tumor micro-environments it could be really cool
You’re not the one paying the “small price”, the planet is the one paying it. Given that, I don’t think you get to say if it’s a small price or not. But as i’ve addressed in a root level comment - this is not an either-or situation, we can have both e-waste recycling and even better anti-theft measures: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34506120
I'm guessing from what I see in incognito mode and logged-in. One reason I have a caveat in there, is that there is a button called hide, so you don't have to see particular stories.
The comment you're replying to is asking about the situation in Germany, and TFA is about Germany as well.
Are you actually concerned with their motivations, or just unaware that this is a common practice already?
I feel sad after reading this comment. People in prison are still people. Many of them have committed crimes against society; some are imprisoned unjustly; all are deserving of human dignity and love. People in prison have families, children, loved ones, and it's an undeniable fact that strong social support networks reduce recidivism.

People in prison are not monsters. They're people.

I won't deny that illicit substances flowing into prisons is a problem. But painting all prisoners as smugglers who are incapable of receiving affection, love, or support is absurd.
Seattle had pretty high public transit use prior to the 2020 pandemic, which made it much more unpleasant (both in direct Covid risk/fear and in state response to the virus). See e.g., https://seattletransitblog.com/2022/06/13/transit-ridership-... or https://www.seattle.gov/images/Departments/SDOT/Streetcar/20... to see the crater 2020 made in Seattle transit use.

Here is a nice graph from back in 2018: https://images.seattletimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/d... (from https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/transportation/tra... ). Transit was the plurality of downtown commuters (and growing).
Regardless of how successful an AI can get at figuring out what the human operator wants, in the end, all it will manage to do is figure out what the human wants or give similar options to what the human asked for. My experience in working with software and being a client for other craftsmen, is that rarely that's what needs done, do what the human wants. The whole idea of a good craftsman is to figure out what the client needs. That was also my job for the past few years, figuring out what my company needs to build next, either as a product, or internal infra, tooling etc. I did end up building the things myself because there are only 4 engineers in my company and I had to do the building bit. An AI will boost my capabilities (automation does that too, but that still needs me to build it...).

Before you tell me that an AI will soon be able to do what I do, we are lifetimes away from that, if it's even possible. That will mean our creation fully understands us, it can understand stupid. If I were religiously inclined, I could even argue that even God failed at such a task.
I'm a Blockchain dev, so working in this field is highly satisfying for me; it's a cutting edge technology and it's evolving very quickly. As blockchain technology is relatively a new field, there are many opportunities for career growth and advancement. Besides, I think its community is a vibrant and supportive one.

I find my job very satisfying because of the opportunities for career growth and advancement within the company (Rather Labs). It is a honor to be part of a reputable blockchain company that is known for its innovative and reliable solutions.

All in all, working in the field of blockchain technology is a highly satisfying and fulfilling career choice, and I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in being part of this exciting and growing industry.
Well, me too. Hard to write software with pen and paper. But it resolves to "use tech for work and only work". I go online to get my job done but it's all work, no pleasure.

I've ridden my phone of any app which can eat my attention. It goes without saying that social media apps got trashed but also news apps, even the default google news app. My phone is more like an old-school Nokia than a modern magic rectangle and if they made a decent e-ink phone, I'd seriously consider it.

I will watch _some_ tv or film, but only in the living room, on the dedicated television, never on a laptop or tablet.

Lastly, zero video games at all. Edit, well, almost zero. Factorio is a hard habit to break but I have been clean now for several months.)
