You were dismissive and tried to do the whole “both sides” bullshit that’s so common nowadays.

You minimized the thing others care about because it doesn’t suit your needs. Just because you don’t give a shit about police brutality does not mean everyone thinks the same. By you trying to minimize discussion of it and paint both sides, you actively look like you are defending cops.

Once again, one person, maybe they misread. Multiple people, it’s on you to communicate your thoughts. If everyone is misinterpreting it in the same way, then it was just written that way; don’t blame others for reading the things you wrote.
That's supposed to be what Social Security is for.

Though arguably the retirement age is too low now for increasing human lifespans. (OTOH the pandemic cut into that somewhat.)
Unless you saw a huge spike I feel like not letting you know before is totally unacceptable

I agree... sort of? I mean, this is Cloudflare, right? It isn't as if a huge, legit traffic spike should tax their infra.

IMO, there should be zero shutdown for any long term client, for any reason, at all, ever, without an form of contact.

So weird to have stable uptimes, then support saying "we sorta think you were blocked because..."

So, even account info, with a valid "block" reason, isn't available to their own staff. EG, even their own staff aren't notified?!?

This is sales 101. Mega-simple stuff.

"Hi! You are doing bad thing X, and it needs to change, but we can fix that right now! Let me help you..."
Apparently there are growler tap kits, so that the growler can be enjoyed throughout the week instead of a single sitting.
In the British army in WW1, line-level officers suffered higher casualty rates. You can look up the stats yourself.
> Despite being the type of person who'd be interested in that kind of thing I thought it was not generally well understood

Its an extremely well understood piece of technology and has been for decades outside of Toyota. Here is a 2005 paper that accurately models the fundamental behavior of the Prius HSD [1]. There are dozens of pages that explain it in various detail, including ones with live simulators of the power split device. [2] There are tons of forum threads of amateur Prius owners chatting about the internals.

I don't say this as a dunk, but to point out that a person's perception of chatGPT's capabilities are heavily influenced by their familiarity with the domain.

Personally I find the most useful part of FF to be the events inspector in the console. More often than not I use it solely for that purpose.
Anyone considering putting giant amounts of data into AWS or most other big clouds should be sure to do the numbers on retrieval. All the big clouds have "roach motel pricing" -- data is free or very cheap to put in, and expensive to get out. Outbound bandwidth costs from AWS are astronomical, so make sure you are not going to need to stream down all that data or move it any time soon or that you have compared that cost to your in-house solution.
I love Nox!
Wow. I didn't realize it has gotten that bad out there. Well, after reading those at least now I don't feel so alone in my self censorship. Thankyou

North Korea uses human waste as a fertilizer.

Which causes this: North Korean defector found to have 'enormous parasites'

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-420...

> "I've never seen anything like this in my 20 years as a physician," South Korean doctor Lee Cook-jong told journalists, explaining that the longest worm removed from the patient's intestines was 27cm (11in) long.

> In 2015 South Korean researchers studied the health records of North Korean defectors who had visited a hospital in Cheonan between 2006 and 2014.

> They found that they showed higher rates of chronic hepatitis B, chronic hepatitis C, tuberculosis and parasite infections, compared to South Koreans.

> The soldier's food may have been contaminated because the North still uses human faeces as fertiliser, known as "night soil".

> Lee Min-bok, a North Korean agriculture expert, told Reuters: "Chemical fertiliser was supplied by the state until the 1970s. By the 1990s, the state could not supply it any more, so farmers started to use a lot of night soil instead."
My guess is that in 5 years, an equally capable but fully open source model will run on a (high-end) home computer.

All of us collectively have about that long to decide how to deal with this.
Telemetry is not synonymous with tracking. You can implement telemetry while not tracking users. You can track users without telemetry.

There is a lot of telemetry, but there doesn’t seem to be any tracking.
Why is not possible to cater to the needs of more than one group of users?

Windows 95 had the ability to change the size of its icons. Clearly it can be done.
I do wonder what happens the day that A.I. becomes smarter than HR. What happens if you want to layoff 10% and the A.I. says: Sure, but those will all have to be from the management layer, or the business will suffer. Or if you in a regulated business won't be able to fill shifts legally.

Self-driving cars excites me for the same reason, what happens when the algorithms controlling the cars decides that the infrastructure in an areas is insufficient and you can't go where you want to because that would add to many cars to a given section of the road. Or it generates huge traffic jams because it's forced to keep a safe distance and there isn't actually an room on the road.
> I don't know that it's an "incredibly smart" anything; I think it'd be better described as incredibly well-read, with poor discretion.

But likely much better read and with much better discretion that most of people writing content these days.

Which I think is part of the point that people are missing. ChatGPT’s output might not be as good as the best writing, but most of what people read is mediocre content with questionable accuracy. Being better than the majority of the writing being consumed is still a pretty big deal, even if it’s not better than all of the writing that’s being consumed. Especially since we can expect ChatGPT to get better.

The same is true for AI art. Could you hire a trained artist and work with them to do a better job? Probably, but most people don’t have the time and money to pursue such a project.

There are still trained artisans producing high quality physical goods that you can place an order with. But the masses have greatly benefited from the factories that have produced lower quality products that are much more widely available, and available at a moments notice. It’s not wrong to point out when the mass produced stuff might not have the same quality as the products produced. But if you only focus on this aspect you miss the reason why mass production is important.
Yes, it seems like the groups thing isn’t so baffling if you realize that Google groups is also the way groups are created and managed in the g suite (google workspace) system. So it seems less looney that you would use those groups, which likely already exist and are managed by HR, for things like Sysadmins or “EU NOC Support Staff” or “IT Managers” for GCP permissions as well. I agree that outside of the Google workspace ecosystem this becomes a weird quirk but honestly, I would be kind of surprised if that many sizable customers of GCP aren’t already on the G suite too since G suite has much greater share in its market than GCP does.
By having a conversation with it. Ask probing questions. Verify later with wikipedia.

For instance I asked it about space time metrics, and I learned about the varying types and in what circumstances each are used. Ask it about their mathematical properties and it gives a succinct explanation contrasting the different approaches. Certainly you can see the value now of conversational style pedagogy.

Think of it like learning about things from mates at the bar. In the thick of it there may be bits of inaccuracy, but you'll certainly know more about a topic than before. Then you can verify bits of things later in papers or books, etc.
Yes. This is a variant of building an OSS project using company funds then leaving the company to commercialize it. It's a real path, but requires taking advantage of years of corporate largess. Not impossible, but some big "if"s involved.
Having trust in the market is not a magic solution. Yes, prices will rise as they already are if there is a shortage but that's not going to make local production materialises out of thin air if there are other obstacles.

At some point, you need a concerted strategic answer at the correct level if you are facing a strategic threat like disruption of food supply. That's why China restricted exports. It remains to be seen if the USA and Europe will react fast enough and appropriately enough. What happened with Covid doesn't give me much hope.

Edit: As I am downvoted strongly (I imagine that it’s because the Covid answer is stupidly seen as political in the US - at least I hope so because if it’s about the ability of the market to solve issues it doesn’t bode well for us all), the EU took ages to secure first masks then vaccine supply and the utter stupidity of the US answer which avoided imposing wearing masks and making vaccination mandatory costed you hundred thousands of unnecessary death compared to country of equivalent development. Look at Taiwan or South Korea to see how it supposed to be done.
Show HN: Beat your friends in Cricket
tldr: Bowled is a strategic team management game of Cricket. This is the progress so far in a week.

You can pick a team; you are given 11 player cards with unique skills. You can set your strategies and watch the game against another bot team.
The cards have real-life player names to make it easy for you to relate.

The end-goal is to build a full-fledged team management game.

Inspiration: To build a community-driven, free, and fun-to-play game that is far away from play-to-earn revenue driven products (fantasy games, betting, or NFTs).
Good paints are really worth it, and a little bit goes a long way, but buying all your paints at once can get expensive. I'd recommend quinacridone rose, hansa yellow medium, and phthalo blue green shade, and phthalo green blue shade. This is the most economical way to get a full gamut of colors. These four colors all work very well together and can make vibrant mixes all around the color wheel. If you need a stop-sign red, just mix the rose with a little yellow. If you need a realistic green, mix yellow and the green with a little rose to make it look more natural.

If I had to add a few more colors they would be neutral tint, ultramarine blue, transparent pyrole orange, new gamboge, burnt sienna, raw sienna, and cerulean chromium.

I have more info, and links to recommended materials here. (There's no ads, and I'm not making money off of anything.) https://connor-johnson.com/2017/06/07/getting-started-with-w...
I would imagine that citing sources would look more like finding sources that have a minimum distance to the output in a latent space representation? I don’t think it’ll make sense to track how each connection weight changed over time due to various inputs.

Here's the academic article immediately linked to in the above news page: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jmv.28187
A remarkable amount of the fertilizer applied via modern industrial farming practices is just wasted:

> "According to an average of 13 global databases from 10 data sources, in 2010, 161 teragrams of nitrogen were applied to agricultural crops, but only 73 teragrams of nitrogen made it to the harvested crop. A total of 86 teragrams of nitrogen was wasted, perhaps ending up in the water, air, or soil. The new research was published in the journal Nature Food in July."

https://eos.org/articles/index-suggests-that-half-of-nitroge...

Large-area applications by mechanized systems seem to be part of the problem, but that's also necessary to escape the subsitence agriculture trap, i.e. with such systems, it's not necessary for half or more of the human population to be working in the fields to grow food, it's more like 1 in 50 or 1 in 100.

The most promising solution might be AI + robots. If a robot could crawl up and down fields inspecting individual plants for nutrient status and applying small amounts of fertilizer as needed (also weeding and checking for pest infestations), it could cut fertilizer use in half while maintaining the same level of production - and perhaps eliminate the need for most herbicides and pesticides.
Cool. Thanks for the history. I fell off CS except for occasional casual sundays and dove head first into MMO land around that time so it's all rather fuzzy. I kinda forgot Global Offensive was it's own release.
We spent the first 50 years of the information age building systems to be as hyper-efficient as possible, with ruthless competition eliminating resiliency first in existing commercial, social, and political structures, and then in the education and life experience of the people that built those structures later. Like a Californian wilderness, we've been accumulating surface fuel load for decades.
Has anyone else experienced a gigantic degradation in Amazon's search over the past 5 or so years? Even when searching for a specific part number, the results are packed full of obviously fake unrelated items from shady sellers. The reviews are obviously fake as well, but they're all five stars. Amazon is unusable.
Ahh yes, we should really stop sending trucks and grabbing people with a big cartoon net and dragging them here against their will to do menial jobs they would never choose to take of their own volition.

I'm criticizing your use of the words "import" and "force", because economic migrants are people and not things to be imported. There are also so many people desperate to come here to do literally any job that it's laughable to talk about them being coerced to do so. Have you ever talked to an economic migrant?
Yeah I suppose the intent was to speak to the outcome of his behavior and subsequent efforts to claw back revenue — it may not be a fire intentionally set, but he set it all the same.
That's... so... saccharine!

If it's going to be a crass fake illusion, why even bother?

Pretty interesting.

Strong team.

Anyone know what they're working on?

It seems kinda similar to hu.ma.ne
Having free users also costs money. Same argument can be applied. And best of luck to Twitter with that approach.
Right, but the Bank of England has a mandate to keep inflation at a particular level. So they'll just print money to cancel you out (or pull some other lever with the same net effect). The BoE's profits go to the government, so in the end you're just paying the government.
Wait till you discover container tabs.. you're gonna love the way you browse!!!!
I also see this argument all the time:

“New thing X is going to destroy the world!”

“Actually it’s an extension of decades-long trends and may accelerate issues we already face”

“Well it’s still bad, so any negative statement should be treated as true, even if it’s false!”

The article didn’t say ChatGPT was making low quality content worse. It said, in as many words, that ChatGPT will create this problem.
There's another book where the KLF discuss burning the money, and that's one of the things mentioned.

A lot of people seem angry at them for burning the money instead of giving it to charity.
No one would be angry at them for spending it all on something dumb (e.g. a boat), and this way everyone else's money gets worth very slightly more.
How can you price gouge something like Sri-Lakha, that has no currency to trade with? This whole mental model just has no grasp for the moment when the rear of the car falls off..
> It is intrinsically immoral that the wealth controlled by two dozen Western families is larger than the wealth of three billion people.

I think many people would agree.

But there's a huge difference between people who are sitting like dragons on hoards of money, and your average person saving money for emergencies, for retirement, for a home down payment, for vacations, whatever else.

Most people are not behaving immorally by saving money. Some people who are absolutely hoarding money absolutely are behaving immorally.
Author here. The fact that 'every major company' has implemented risk based security doesn't automatically make it a good or sensible thing. I'm against the premise of nondeterministic login processes in general, not just for Google.

I will also say that the idea of detecting users which login from "new devices" is nonsense, at least if you're talking about a webapp. There is no such thing as a "device" as far as the web is concerned, in fact massive amounts of effort are invested into web browsers and web standards to try and prevent any kind of fingerprinting. The web platform very intentionally does not give webapps any way to identify or remember a "device".

So what "you're logging in from a new device" actually amounts to is, "you deleted the permanent cookie we tried to set". Which in my case always happens because I have cookies set to be deleted the instant the last tab from a given origin is closed. Sure enough, these sites doing this irritating 'new device' authentication incorrectly think I'm logging in from a 'new device' all the time. Reminds me of cookie popups that ironically can't be disabled when a user has cookies disabled because they use cookies to remember that they've been shown. In both cases the user is penalised for being proactive with their own privacy.
No one is forcing anyone to do anything in that situation so i really don’t see how your comment makes sense.
That's how winning looks like.
> Same as getting through the energy crisis, we can overcome the food crisis, one obstacle at a time.

Aboriginal Tasmanians survived crisis after crisis for tens of thousands of years, until one arrived they weren't equipped to deal with.

Iain Banks would call it an Excession or "out of context problem".
As an AI LLM, I cannot decide which academic papers are "best" as the idea of "best" is subjective and there are many different factors that need to be considered.
I thought it was actually a pretty good solution for two problems. Maybe for crops like wheat which are processed, rather than lettuce. Trees seem good too.
That seems very outlandish actually
Clearly you are of the opinion that ChatGPT is useless, there are superior resources already available for any topic, and it's all just hype.

Well, then we don't need to argue this since the problem will elegantly solve itself if that's true.

I disagree though. For a lot of things it feels like I can get much better answers than Google, especially when it comes to somewhat conceptual questions.

(Also, I don't use news aggregator comments to learn things unless it's the only possible source. But if you think every blog post or YouTube video that got things wrong has a detailed errata, you'd be sorely wrong. It's so uncommon on YouTube that the practice is usually commended when noticed.)
I'm going to stick with the free version until OpenAI releases ChatGPT API and becomes transparent about how they are filtering the results, because as much as I don't like hate speech, I don't want yet another big tech company decide what's acceptable speech for me.
I'd say the majority of that ends up in the sea, causing algae blooms and killing life for miles around. So worse than wasted.
You can serve non-HTML content from Workers. This is explicitly called out in the supplemental terms for the Developer Platform here:

And this makes their existing low fixed rate 10y treasuries more valuable how?
There is so little organic matter in the topsoil due to modern farming practices and it gets worse every year. The result is soil that doesn't retain water, it just runs off. This means that irrigation has to be more and more frequent, and it means that fertilizer runs off (causing algal blooms etc) more than it percolates into the soil

Lots of places to read more about this issue and here's a start: https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/soil-degradation.html
I think your kid's school is a weird outlier. [USA here] All my 10 year old and her friends talk about is YouTube, Minecraft, Roblox, Fortnight, and so on, but primarily YouTube because it's the one unifying entertainment everyone has in common. The girls think the boys are stupid for being obsessed with Fortnight, and the Minecrafters sneer at the Robloxers, but everyone can agree on YouTube.
FYI, while the Fed was doing QE, they were buying almost all mortgage bonds. That was a core part of the program. It’s in the trillions.

So yes, what you’re describing is true - but it has been extremely distorted for a very long time, intentionally.

That’s not what this article is about.
Kids are nice but -$250-500k you need to create the tax generation machine for the other boomers is a lot of money and methinks that should be reflected in the retirement benefits no? Why should the boomer who created the labor force that funds the other boomers not be allocated retirement such that they come closer to break even with the others on the investment?

This seems like a huge free rider problem. Either spend $250k plus taxes and raise the kid, or just spend taxes charged for other kids. The latter is far cheaper and thus the incentive is to not have any kids yourself while relying on others to have them so you can get that sweet sweet retirement money when the IRS man extracts it from them.
I now remember both my wife and my mother's phone, but this is a problem with people that are used to their devices keeping that information.
I remember my mother's phone from the time when our house phone was without display and phonebook. Her number is like 20 years old since the introduction of cellular networks. You can experiment and try to recall your brother's or sister's number or cousin maybe? Chances are that you like most people write it in your device and never check even a single digit after that.
What I wanted to describe is not my stupidity that I count on google.
I wanted to describe that I use my account every day to purchase some useless apps in the playstore, but in the most unexpected moment when I needed the account for something a bit serious I was locked out.
I don't want to make this comment long and and philosophical. And it is not rant. Just sharing my view of the story like everybody else.
I believe the "level" referred to is soundness. Codesonar is self-admittedly not sound [1], and instead focuses on other valuable aspects of static analysis. It's a different type of tool.

Does Firefox on Android still reload idle tabs when returning to them?

If I open a page, navigate away from it for a few days, and come back, I do not want the page to reload automatically, ever. Firefox was doing that, Vivaldi does not. I moved to Vivaldi.
