Impressed with AI's understanding of steering wheels
q: in the nickelback song photograph the lyrics mention he wants "to sing to more than just a steering wheel." Why would he sing to a steering wheel in the first place and would multiple steering wheels (2 or more) satisfy the more requirement or does he need an entirely different object to sing to?

a: In the context of the Nickelback song "Photograph," the line "I want to sing to more than just a steering wheel" is likely a reference to the act of singing along to music in the car. It's not uncommon for people to sing along to music while driving, often using the steering wheel as a makeshift microphone or stage prop.

The line is meant to convey a sense of longing for something more than just the mundane routine of driving and singing to oneself. The narrator is expressing a desire for a deeper connection with others through his music, rather than simply singing to an inanimate object.

As for the question of whether multiple steering wheels would satisfy the "more" requirement, it's unclear from the song lyrics what exactly the narrator is looking for. It's possible that the line is meant to be somewhat metaphorical, with the steering wheel representing a larger sense of isolation and disconnection. In that case, simply adding more steering wheels wouldn't necessarily solve the problem.

Overall, the line is open to interpretation, but it's likely that the narrator is looking for a more meaningful way to express himself through music and connect with others.
They are also replacing some with their own ads to promote their tokens iirc. Sounds like a cool concept in theory, but at this point I'm done with internet ads. There will be no third party ads served to me on websites, period. uBlock Origin does this quite well, and having it on Android too is a blessing.
And this is before we get to silicon augmented human brains. Let's say we develop some tech that let's people who have lost the ability to verbalise (say through some accident causing brain damage) regain the powers of speech. Where do you draw the line at the person? What if we move the line, progressively replacing more human brain functions with near-future AI tech? What is it that makes "a person" "this person"?

I am utterly fascinated by this whole area from a philosophical viewpoint. I think there's a stack of unresolved philosophical problems and theories that are about to get tested in the harsh light of the sun.
Crazy thing is that this is like only half of New York City, south of 34th street. Basically all of midtown is north of this with some of the most impressive buildings and density. Nevermind uptown, the Bronx, and Queens. Unless I'm missing someway to look north.
It sounds like you have access to some objective truth on language that we see missing.
Strange how Camus and Morrison books are banned, but they are authors who are covered on Florida's now preferred Classic/Christian Learning Test: https://www.cltexam.com/tests/authors/

How are students supposed to study for the test if the authors are banned? :)

Golden Visas probably didn't cause too many problems - they are easily palmed off with peculiar concrete and glass boxes in odd places, not like they'll be living in them much anyway.

AirBnB is what has been causing the problem with affordable accommodation in the city centres. Tourists want easy access to everything downtown, same as students and young professionals, and at 100 euros a night or whatever the going rate is is unbeatable for yield.

The trick now is to start turning these places back into HMOs / family apartments. It's nice that they've been done up, now time to give them over to local residents. If some 'funny money' gets royally screwed in the process, then all the better.
I have a /.git/ directory in the root of a Debian 11 server. Every change under /etc is carefully versioned. My plan when upgrading to 12 is to roll back all the changes, turn the upgraded config into a new commit, then rebase my config changes one by one. I anticipate that I will still be burned, but maybe less than before.
"communist government was elected"

uh...? no? That never happened.
There must be a more aesthetically pleasing option...
Besides the stated reason, there's also this:

>(as of this writing, VZ was pricing 50Mbps commited @ $455/mo; 100Mbps @ $661/mo; 1Gbps @ $999/mo; 5Gbps @ $2,099/mo; and 10Gbps @ $3,099/mo).

Ten gigabit is not yet a common residential internet service in North America. If that's what you want, this would be the only way to get it.

I've occasionally daydreamed about buying a condominium near one of the Seattle Internet Exchange's PoPs, buying a 400 gigabit port, paying to run a fiber pair, arranging for transit, etc etc. https://www.seattleix.net/join As expensive and pointless as buying a yacht, but at least getting it online would require a lot of tedious work!

(Like OP, I also jumped through the hoops for a Comcast fiber drop years ago (but to a business location) for the same eyewatering price but dramatically fewer megabits per second. The only upside is that the pair traveled directly to a CO in the same office park, so we would routinely see 1-2ms pings to anycast IPs like 4.2.2.2, 8.8.8.8, etc)
Maybe your opinion, but I'm not sure how you could come to that conclusion. Software is a critical part of people's daily lives and the successful functioning of modern society. Some, but certainly not all, software developers actually work on systems designed to improve some aspect of the human experience and not on systems designed to continuously extract money or attention from their users.
Solar panels aint free
I find that I generally agree with the sentiment but putting Apple in this list is a little preposterous. Yes Apple Maps was terrible, but with continuous improvements, at the moment it is a good if not the best product. Outside of that, they have had very few bad products that they released (yes including the $1000 stand) in the last decade.
>usually it’s because housing is expensive

I'm sure you don't mean that as an endorsement of giving people bus tickets as a "solution".

Can you explicitly state why that is not helpful, to educate people?
I just bought one of these and then realized the 10+ year old linksys router I wanted to reverse engineer uses an 80 mhz SPI bus, which is too fast for the entry level Salaea. Nice hardware if it works for your use case though.
for the photodiode you'd use to perpendicular sensors
You can do the same thing with SingleFileZ [1] which can protect saved pages with a password. It relies on the zip specification to store the encrypted resources (html, images, css, etc.).

Here's an example of protected page saved with SingleFileZ: https://gildas-lormeau.github.io/private/ (password: thisisapage)

Empathy isn’t usually associated with rewriting history, but rather with an urge to volunteer to help the homeless.
As a parent I continuously made changes when reading to my children. Some old language became problematic, and the reading became a struggle over mean ways of saying things. They can read that themselves, once they learn to read. Then they can ask the questions.

Until then reading time was for the fun story, not a dive into racism or body shaming.

My point being, it's nothing new.
Roald Dahl personally killed Nazis as a fighter pilot.

Go look it up.
If you look on the opposite side of the coin, you will see that we do have a bunch of tech that is very good these days, in a larger quality than the failures.

IMO these types of failures are simply a percentage of the overall tech, and the reason they seem prominent is because there is just a huge race in tech over the past decade.

If you actually want to fix it and reduce that percentage, push to replace engineers with computers. A lot of engineering problems are search problems. Computers are better at search than humans.
How often/long does your power go out?

Americans on this site always mention grid failures as a concern about electric heating/cars/whatever.

While I won’t claim that power failures never happen where I live, because they do…but they’re very very rare and short enough not to care. The only exceptions are major natural disasters like hurricanes.

Americans, why do you have such a terrible electricity distribution grid?
A twisted tale of celebrity promotion, opaque transactions and allegations
I bought my Weller soldering iron and all the tips I needed for $200 CAD new on Amazon, not sure where these numbers are coming from.
I enjoyed this, most indie web stuff sounds like a nightmare but this was clear and well explained and I might give it a go myself as a result. Made your blog a new addition to my rss feeds.
Self-censorship is arguably the most insidious and pernicious of all forms of speech suppression.
I'm neither credible nor reputable, but I'm in favor of a weak version of this. When reading older books to my young child, I replace language that suggests that women are supposed to stay at home and men are supposed to go to work. One day soon he'll be able to read, and at that point I'll wish that books that were a product of their time would have been updated for the current time, so that he could just read the book, without us having to have a conversation about how things were different then.
It’s more interesting to see the word ‘woman’ being canceled in subtle ways at once respectable institutes like The Atlantic.

I have a hard time believing you are serious. They hallucinated a bunch of context into it that fits any story about secret societies.
The issue I see is that even if Remarkable had a browser, it would be too slow to use for my primary research. So the real friction is that I wouldn't be on the e-reader to begin with. If I could send from my phone to the Remarkable, that would be perfect.
Indeed. It's AirBnB.

I also have a sneaky suspicion that some/perhaps many Portuguese are actually doing pretty well, and are thus collectively suffering the same 'affluenza', stoked by zero interest rates, as the rest of us.
The Legend of Edgar
I've been recently trying to set up a soldering station at home and am still in the research phase. I haven't been able to find one cheaper than the FA-430. It's weird as you can get a nice air purifier with a HEPA filter in it for much cheaper than the FA-430. I don't plan on soldering all that much, and so had been looking at the FA-400. I was assuming it was better than nothing.
Just so you know, 4U of rack space is a whopping 7 inches of height. One rack holds many Us, with most "full size" racks clocking in at 42U.

Open-air racks are typically less than 2 feet across and 3-4 feet deep (example [1]), hardly a significant stretch unless you live in a very small space.

1) Sure, but that stimulus is not the money that went directly to people. I'm not entirely clear on whether you were making the distinction previously, but far too many people (some deliberately, most, I think, not) blur that line, and talk about the total stimulus when referring to the number (because it's big) and when referring to societal effects (because they're measurable)—but then turn around and talk about the individual stimulus payments as if they were all or a majority of that when talking about how we shouldn't just be handing out money to people, etc.

2) I did propose a better explanation: Coincidence. Two data points that look similar, in a situation like this, is not enough to make coincidence particularly unlikely.

3) The most likely explanation for that seems to be that, because of the pandemic, we're not doing a lot of the things we were normally doing before. My family certainly isn't: we haven't taken a vacation since winter 2019, and we've cut out many of our previous habits that a) cost money, and b) put us more at risk for COVID. Now, I believe my family is fairly far toward one end of that spectrum, but I also believe there are enough people who have cut out at least some stuff (and not put it back yet) that it is, at least, a highly likely explanation for the phenomenon you cite there.
This comment confuses me. I think it may be a matter of what problem people are concerned about.
They probably changed it from a davinci-based model to ada or curie -based model.
The near stuff is incredibly detailed as well! Look backwards at the building the photo is taken from and you can read labels on the bolts and see flakes of rust on the grate below.
>Seems like the era of these sort of visa schemes is ending [...]

Oh boy, you have no idea. That niche is about to explode in possibilities.
The only sentence I disagree is this one

> We are allowing too much power to be concentrated in the hands of a few people, whose ultimate goal is this relentless pursuit of money, not a human project for society.

Swap "power" and "money" and I agree.

> We are allowing too much MONEY to be concentrated in the hands of a few people, whose ultimate goal is this relentless pursuit of POWER

First step, stop giving them your money. 2nd, take away what they've illegally or otherwise ill gotten.
That’s more personal than I like to share here, but vaguely I was in the rural Northeast while a rising tide of born-again Baptist churches absorbed Catholic and mainline Protestant communities. Maybe it was more obvious to me because of the flux.

In any case, you must at least remember Wal-mart’s role in demanding “clean” versions of rap and hip hop content (and punk) as those genres went mainstream. That was happening at a national level and persists to this day in all of our streaming services.

The genres had underground roots and artists were not devoted to satisfying the word or theme preferences of the Walton family’s target demographic, but producers and studios knew that obliging them with alternate versions was a compromise that paid worthwhile dividends.
I don't recollect the exact reasons but here is the likely turn of events. In one of the macOS Major update (the one where Private Relay was introduced), it killed NextDNS. I waited pretty long enough for them to get fixed but NextDNS never did and there were hard to reach. I started looking for alternatives. I had already bought AdGuard Lifetime license for the family, and was offered or stumbled on AdGuard DNS (beta). It just happen to work and I stayed with it. Then I bought AdGuard VPN that bundles AdGuard DNS Pro/Premium.

I'm looking at AdGuard home and will hopefully tinker with it but the above setup is good for now.
The word gold is antisemitic. Why would you reference such a hateful trope?

'Gold' also refers to a color, and so is doubly offensive.

/s - but they really did make changes like that to Dahls' work. It's so disturbing.
They are very different responses. After you live life a few more decades, the differences become quite obvious.
The real issue with C2077 is that so many people pre-paid for a quality game, and never received it.
Why is "of a radical nature" the important part here, and who gets to define it? Is fuel injection radical? Seatbelts? Crumple zones? GPS? In 1909 a car had 35HP and could peak at 53MPH, and was an ultimate death trap in an accident. Hundreds of improvements, some more radical than others, led to the cars of today being better in virtually every way, including subtle ways nobody knew mattered at the time (like not flinging people out the windshield in an accident).
So funny, I saw that dude right away and came here to post about that.
I'm thinking mostly about software here, not tech in general. And I'm not saying that some things aren't better. But a lot of things are worse, and the trend worries me.
"Teams glue easier when working physical (sic) together."

You can't state this as a fact. My company has two main offices. Two of the other SREs I work with are in a different office/state. We're as tight as can be. A third SRE is in yet another city. Our teams performance since the start of remote work has been outstanding.

There are no "facts" to this RTO fetish. It's just a management fetish, just like Jack Welch's BS that spread like wildfire.
4u of space is less volume than many PC cases. I’ve got a 22u “half rack” in my apartment (half for testing gear for work, half because I like to tinker). Bigger concern would be noise. 1u network gear tends to have high pitched 20mm fans which can drive you nuts if you don’t have it in a separate room. Noctua makes a great kit I use in my own gear but Verizon probably wouldn’t be very happy with you if you tried to do that :).

I went the route of “find a dirt cheap gigabit colo” ($150/m for quarter rack with gigabit and bgp peering) and just tunnel the IP space back home. Upside is you don’t have to pay to have the circuit put to where you currently live and you don’t have to worry about space/noise. Downside is if you want to use it locally at home you get extra latency due to the tunnel.
He personally fought Nazis and killed them in WWII.

Did you?
Bezos increased his wealth by $100 billion over the last decade. If all that money was evenly distributed among Amazon's 1,500,000 employees instead, they would get like $6k more every year. That might be a nice bonus to the average Amazon employee making $30,000 a year, but it would hardly be revolutionary.

I don't think 1% of people holding 32% of the wealth is that surprising or exceptional. A lot of people are in the bottom 50% because they don't save any money at all. I think these stats give people the idea that if you were to somehow take all the wealth from the top 1% and give it to the bottom 50% that this would vastly improve their situation, when in reality it wouldn't make much of a difference and would fuck up economic incentive structures.
Not quite "in a nutshell" but honestly the page + exploring references will get you far https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consciousness
I would guess the change was made because they felt ladies and gentlemen does not account for non-binary genders
Another person in the same league: Jeff Minter aka Yak. He too could make the C64 do incredible tricks.
> so in A and B you do lock(_mutex) but in C you do assert_lock(_mutex) which either panics or continues? What would that look like?

What's wrong with doing exactly what you said? If somebody ends up misusing C_UnderLock, their program will crash, and they can go fix their bug.
Lol, 7,000, that's literally a roundibg error. Perhaps it was cancelled because of such low demand.
Wouldn't it be funny if it turns out this article was written by an AI?

Looks like the main argument is "The reflection is humanity’s wealth of language and writing, which has been strained into these models and is now reflected back to us.", but as a matter of fact any human is trained on the culture of the society that raised him, just like the AIs are.
Show HN: Nino Drive – Block-based file storage module
Hi, we're releasing 2 new modules on Nino:

Nino Drive works exactly like how you imagine it to be and is interoperable with the rest of Nino. Bonus: every download link is valid up to 5 minutes only; your files stay secure and private when you no longer share them.

Nino Collection is a folder-like utility module. It works like a folder but can contain not just documents and files but also any module such as Nino Todo or Nino Blog, hence the name. Any module under a collection will inherit its permission settings.

They are the 4th and 5th modules released on Nino, a modular workspace app.

Your decision may be contributing to the crisis of identity of women who do want to raise a family though, and who have been crushed by a culture who pushes college and helping capital owners as the meaning to life.
The author keeps saying capitalism is at fault but I’d argue the bigger issue is that the world economic system is not capitalist at all. The world economic system is debt based and not capital based. Debt is accumulated as if it were capital instead of saving for future investment. Essentially, the time order is reversed. Instead of sacrificing the present for the future, the future is sacrificed for the present. The entire economic system functions in this manner, and it perverts every signal. It encourages spending now, ROI now, and worry should never happen. Of course, this also means that debts eventually collapse and the system collapse wipes out all but the largest players, concentrating all wealth at the top. This will keep happening as long as the system is debt based.
This doesn't require a web server - it works for files opened locally as well.
Indeed. And now they have a new resource curse - tourism. Like mining, tourism benefits wealth holders (hotel owners etc) much more than wealth creators (the people cooking the food, making the beds). Not many jobs in the tourism sector are high skilled / high paid, and too much of it crowds everything else out.
Looks like they used an even smaller ball. I didn't know 38mm pool balls were a thing...

> To be able to call this a trackball, we also need some kind of ball or sphere of course. Many people go with the smallest regulation billard balls with a diameter of 38mm.
I had to start over from the beginning 3 times due to completely main plot breaking bugs, and this was on 1.4+ versions . Still had a side quest broken.

That is not a "more or less" serving it's purpose.
It's more likely to reflect a hierarchy in the network (e.g. monomode span dropping down to multimode for the demarc). The telco just colocated their box on the subscriber's premises.

Agree it’s nonsense
Ehh, if you're not doing analogue stuff how specific do you really need? And even if you do you can combine a few to get closer to what you need. Like if you have 220/390R & 1k & 10k & 1M on hand, are you really ever going to be that annoyed for breadboarding purposes that you don't have 680R or whatever?

What's funny it was first posted as "Fast vs Normal" rather than "Default vs Legacy", with Normal selected by default presumably because that made it better

Then overnight "Normal" became "Legacy" and "Fast" became the default.

"permanent housing"

Ok, so what exactly is permanent housing in modern society? If you have housing, you have rent, taxes, utilities. If those aren't paid then that housing isn't so permanent. I'd hazard that the "permanent housing" has a lot of rules and requirements that homeless people may find challenging, and also therefore isn't so "permanent".

Even if the housing is free, then it is sponsored, subject to the line item whims of local politics and funding. So is that "permanent"?

If you're permanent, do you become subject to harassment by other neighbors and police?

Is the "permanent" housing contingent on serpentine regulations, paperwork, applications, etc? Reviews, checkins, etc? Not so permanent then.
If we're going to be pedantic, FSD stands for Full Self Driving, which isn't available in Teslas yet. Full Self Driving Beta, which requires drivers to agree that they will fully supervise the car, is what is available right now.

Help me understand something though, and this is an honest question, because this seems to come up a lot... Are you saying that because it's called FSD, the driver in these situations should be absolved of responsibility for the crash (assuming FSD was involved in this)?
