I have one of their cheapest compact models, the Lemur, and I love it. I don't use it much lately, but everything "just works" for the basic cases, and I only have to sometimes deal with poor Linux support for non-System76 peripherals which would be an issue on any Linux notebook.

Straight up just admitting you didn't actually read what I wrote before responding, because I already specified. C'mon man.

"It'd probably be better to decide this with a metro-level authority rather than the state, but the state is still better than the city."

Yes, and I made it extremely clear that I was objecting to calling this "anti-democratic". You then switched arguments for some reason, while acting like it was the same topic.
> that are safe for kids

It’s all about kids.

Without kids in the picture sure, go ahead, make cities look like Coruscant from Star Wars.

The instant you have kids you see how important open spaces safe enough for unstructured minimally supervised play are. Without spaces like this all you have are kids drooling on Roblox and YouTube all day. There’s nothing for kids in an urban core.

Those spaces don’t have to be undeveloped or even outdoor but I have yet to see a city successfully create an environment safe enough that I’d let my small daughters run around.

So while I agree that zoning is dumb and complicated, I also think it’s important to understand where people are coming from.
> And so long as your arguments are reasonably factually based, it's never really possible to lose a debate, unless you choose to

That's the trouble with the expression "losing a debate". There is the notion that you've been defeated. So what actually happened is not a debate, but a fight. A debate is something you can learn from, a gain.
They have a different argument, namely by making sure houses are less dense, the total number of houses being built in an area is far less than what the land can support, leading to artificial scarcity in the market. The artificially limited supply then leads to high prices.

I found a really bad vulnerability in a dating app once, allowed anyone to see all other user’s exact locations…contacted the CEO to let him know to fix it. He acknowledged. Thought that was it.

A few months go by, I decide to check again. Still hasn’t been fixed, emailed again, acknowledged again. On and on and on. About a year went by for them to finally implement this fix which should take all of 10 minutes, I mean at the very least all you have to do is introduce some entropy into the gps coordinates of the user. Hopefully I am the only one that found it.

It’s pretty astonishing how much people just don’t care even the C suite.

No, it's a Chinese lesson.

A "thing" or "stuff" in Chinese is 东西 (dōngxi). That's literally "east-west" if you pick the individual characters apart. That's what the footnote refers to.

Calling somebody 不是个东西 (bùshì ge dōngxī) means something along the lines of being good for nothing, i.e. an insult. Translating it literally, it would be calling somebody "not a thing".
I'm not defeding the "feelings" of the company. I'm pointing out unprofessional behavior encouraged by a culture of oversharing.

Journalists and other outside observers can and should write about corporate incompetence wherever they find it. When you're in a paid position of trust, though, talking about your client's failings is tacky.

I agree that the writing isn't nasty. The specificity is the key. I guess to some people this came across as sufficiently anonymized. To me, it seems like anybody working at this place knows that the auther is talking about their company, which is a problem in and of itself. But it also means we're just one equally-indiscreet reply away from knowing exactly who this is (something like "yeah, I work here and..."). Though I really don't think that even that much additional info is necessary to deanonymize this. Just a hunch; obviously you disagree.

Allegedly identifying AI written homework.
I rented one for a few weeks in late 2021, and the experience completely turned me off of Tesla's FSD.

During a 2 hour drive on an interstate on a clear, sunny day, FSD started steering into another vehicle 3 different times. One was a truck, and another was a wide load house being transported. I'll admit that is an odd case, but "don't accelerate straight into a house that is at windshield level" seems like a pretty simple ask. It did this multiple times and I had to temporarily disable the cruise control.

It also failed miserably on curving state highways, to the point that I turned it off after about 20 minutes.
I think the main takeaway from this is that both the AI classifier and the AI output come from the same company, openai.com.

That likely explains the extremely low accuracy of the AI classifer. This is user training for chatgpt output being accepted as human authored text.

- Greatly reduced levels of configurability relative to other DEs

- Heavily padded widgets that seem better suited to touch than KB+M

- Use of touch-inspired designs like switches over checkboxes

Heroku is a shitshow after the Salesforce takeover and not to shit on you because I know it really sucks. BUT please everyone, do offsite backups and test them. Please people. Please. If you have anything that is important, BACK THEM UP on your own outside of the provider.

Heck, we wrote our own script to backup RDS databases offsite as well even though RDS has backups and restore options. I want that database file.

> and low traffic streets that are safe for kids to play around

Actually, suburban streets are significantly more dangerous than urban streets, in terms of number of children killed, as a fraction of both population and miles driven.

> Motor vehicle traffic was the leading mechanism of unintentional injury death among children aged 5–13, with the rural rate (3.1) twice as high as the urban rate (1.5)

> Motor vehicle traffic was the leading mechanism of unintentional injury death among children aged 14–17 in both urban and rural areas; the rate was 2.5 times higher in rural (12.5) than in urban areas

Like I said, I'm sure she will not want to pay for Netflix herself, and while I wouldn't mind paying it for her if she'll use it, she probably won't like that either. Part of the reason she's OK with me paying is that she thinks I'd be paying for it anyway and she's just tagging along, but I'm not getting nearly enough value out of it to pay for it, even less to pay for two accounts. I could sign her up without telling her, but I'd rather not. Maybe I'll stop using the account altogether so only my mom is using it and hopefully that doesn't trigger the monthly check-ins for her, but if it does I'll probably just unsubscribe and look for something more convenient.
> Is this normal, possibly due to aging for some people?

Be careful not to get set in your ways. In the beginner's mind, there are many possibilities, but in the expert's mind there are few. Treat coding like a new adventure, as if you were 13-20 again just discovering new things for the first time. Never let that spark be extinguished. Fuel it.
I agree. Not a single concern for boots on the ground that are likely already squeezed, and now has the apparently abusive compliance and security departments fucking them over.

Now everyone in the affected chain gets a black mark on their "permanent records" and gets exposed at a time when likely layoffs are coming.

What I don't hear is "why can't they upgrade, and how can we help them upgrade", it's WE TOLD YOU, NOW YOU SUFFER.

Here's the kicker: it's 1600 devices. Ok, so they've been told for 13 months to do this. Well, let's do some math. That's 260 working days. Oh look, about 1600 working hours. So if you guys had simply upgraded a device an hour over the last year, this wouldn't have been the problem. Yes, that's not fair, but neither is what the person doing.

Security is the military arm of compliance. Finger pointing at compliance is a bit mendacious. Saying LOL it's not my fault, it was compliance. NOW WATCH ME DROP THE HAMMER BOOM.

I mean, I guess the guy is saying LOL I'm outsourced and not even in the company HAHAHA. Still, eff this guy for taking a bit of glee in this.
At a certain point, it starts to be like "two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner" when you get some of these communities that don't want anyone else there. And that's fundamentally unfair.

>I'm sure it's not hard to identify the customer either.

>I’m a professional, and I’ve been doing this a long ol’ time. There is no way I’m going to risk the identity of the company, or my reputation, or the potential legal consequences for some interaction on social media.

>So to clarify, enough details of the incident and those involved have been changed to protect their identity and everyone else involved. I am confident that you could work at the company involved and not even be aware this happened, even after reading this Partly due to scale and partly due to managerial secrecy.

This is such a comical point of view I can't tell if it's sarcasm or a genuine question.

Yes, I would wager that ChatGPT can write better than at least 90% of living human beings.
While you shine a beacon of light with CS arguments like “zealot-like”, “trendy tech”, and armchair psychology like “part of their identity”—very rigorous and technical.

A lot of people who argue for Rust claim that it is both memory safe and fast, which is well-documented at this point. But it’s not like you’re going to address the actual arguments made in reality, are you.
Is there a longer-form paper on this yet? TPR (P(T|AI)) and FPR (P(T|H)) are useful, but what I really want is the probability that a piece flagged as AI-generated is indeed AI-generated, i.e. P(AI|T). Per Bayes rule I'm missing P(AI), the portion of the challenger set that was produced by AI.

If we assume the challenger set is evenly split 50-50, that means

P(AI|T) = P(T|AI)P(AI)/P(T) = (0.26)(0.5)/(0.26+0.09) ~ 37%

So slightly better than a 1/3 chance of the flagged text actually being AI-generated.

They say the web-app uses a confidence threshold to keep the FPR low, so maybe these numbers get a bit better, but very far from being used as a detector anywhere it matters.
>> My mom used to do census work in some of the villages in India, where people would give out questionable and unverifiable details based on benefits offered by the Govt.

> While incorrect data being used for beneficiary fraud happens, census is india is limited in scope by law, and is not used for targeted benefits delivery - there is very little reason to lie here, since the data isn't correlated back with, for eg, your ration card.

Would that matter? That seems to imply a certain amount of legal savvy that I'm not sure should be assumed of anyone, including "villagers" who I assume are typically uneducated.

If I were engaging in beneficiary fraud (like the OP describes), I probably would tell the same lie to every government agent that comes by, unless I had a compelling reason not to. Staying consistent is safer and also far easier than sorting out the minimum amount of lying required to pull it off.
Thanks! The idea behind this is very sweet so seeing it being developed further gives me joy.

That's what responsible disclosure is for. Having a set deadline before an issue becomes public at least puts some pressure on the company to fix it. Not out of spite, or anything, but because it's the only way to protect the users, instead of just the owners.

> From many years of experience following Apple news, I can predict that hordes of Apple defenders will come out of the woodwork to blame the Reddit poster for failing to cancel the App Store trials in time. It's not Apple's fault if an individual consumer fails in their personal responsibility, right?

You called it OP.

I’m trying to understand how this is Apple’s fault or how they owe the Reddit poster a refund. Are opt-out free trials a bit of a scummy thing to do? Yes and I would never utilize one as a seller, but neither the seller nor Apple are committing fraud here. The terms of the transaction are clearly spelled out before you commit to it.

Perhaps Apple could provide a short grace period with automated refunds as long as the user cancels within 3 days of payment or so? That might be a good compromise here.
cool, DM/email me :)
Streets are dangerous because of cars zipping around. Cars contribute to air pollution quality (until electrified) and noise quality.

So, you ban cars from streets and allow only pedestrians and cyclists. Next, you allow local amenities to pop up so you don't feel the need to get a car out.

The suburban pattern of development as it currently exists isn't the only way to facilitate the quality of life you're looking for.
Thinking about relating to others in terms of skill development is a very good way to slow yourself down and never try a cleaner, more authentic approach that offers instant results. That’s my point.

If you took a skill-based approach years ago and discovered a lot of hows and whys, that’s great for you. You’ve earned something special. My friend min-maxed online dating, and it resulted in a horrendous marriage that only lasted a few years and he never gets to see his daughter.

I can see how my words might be dismissive of this approach, and I can’t deny that there is a slight amount of it there. But the reality of the situation is that humans are hardwired for connecting with each other, and it’s a million times easier to lean into this billion year old circuitry, than to try to reinvent that wheel. You absolutely can reinvent it, but don’t let the siren song of mastery distract you from good enough and getting better over time.

I see, the harm done is if the city won’t change to accommodate you you might have to move to another city. The harm done to the other side is they can’t stand to live in the city that changed to accommodate you so you didn’t have to leave, and they have to leave. Their advocacy for the city accommodating them is selfish, but your advocacy for the city accommodating you is egalitarian?

I see a lot of people say this is direct harm. I don’t think people understand what that term means. “I’m upset by the outcome of your advocacy” doesn’t mean direct harm. Advocacy isn’t directed towards you, no one has come to you and harmed you. Direct harm would be them coming and removing you from your home and keeping you under housed directly. Their advocacy indirectly leads to higher housing prices, and even then there’s a lot of other confounding factors. “I’m really upset with the situation and those guys are advocating for a partial factor that gives rise” is about as indirect as you get.
Sounds like you have decent plan. I could also come up with one.

My point is that neither will be implemented.
