What are you talking about? If you want to replace the stock Tesla Model 3 seats with Recaro seats, go right ahead. If you want to replace the stock Tesla Model 3 rims with some 22"s, or put a lift kit, or slam it, it's your car/money; you can do whatever you want with it. Certain state's governments may have opinions on what you're legally allowed to drive on their roads, but that's nothing to do with putting a hypothetical Ford battery in a Tesla.

Let's keep following in this thread. So if Ford created a 3rd-party battery pack, Tesla isn't legally allowed to prevent customers from replacing their battery pack with the Ford (or an Our Next Energy (ONE), who actually sells a) pack. Similarly, Ford has no legal standing to stop you if you buy a gasoline F-150, gut the motor and fuel tank, and install a Tesla motor and battery from a salvage title Model S.

This goes even further. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act from 1975 explicitly says Tesla isn't allowed to deny warranty coverage just because you used aftermarket or recycled parts, or went to a non-Tesla authorized auto shop for routine maintenance or repairs.

You don't own the iPhone you paid for, and the inability to install apps, with root permissions, is reason number 1 why. Meanwhile, you can actually take a wrench to a Ford F-150 all you want.
My mid-range Bosch dries the dishes just fine. If I unload it right at the end of the cycle, they’re slightly uncomfortably hot.
Are we fixated on the word "University"?

Irrespective of the word, it is the knowledge that was taught in those places.

I'm terrified of AI.

Both the imperfect good enough AI, and the post-human skynet AI.

In my personal life, I have friends addicted to ChatGPT. While we are talking, they are talking to chatgpt for advice, for jokes, for planning David Bowie themed parties. They literally run everything thru this AI first.

My firm's marketing department is using ChatGPT heavily to write copy, tweets, etc.It's amazingly great. Our ROI's have been fantastic.

I've read the stories of thousands of people treating Replika AI like some kind of lover.

Stable Diffusion with ControlNet, is amazing fun and cool, but what an existential threat to 80% of artists.

As a mother, AI instagram models are something that keep me up at night. Will my daughter compare herself to these things without knowing they aren't real and go insane, will my son view real women as inferior. I don't know, but I'm thinking about it.

AI has we have it today is already changing paradigms. It so easily exacerbates some evolutionary weaknesses in us. People are treating as alive today, Business managers want to replace as many people as they can with it, today!

We can't really define what makes us unique and conscious. We can't even agree on how to define consciousness for living creatures, how can we define it for a digital existence.

I'm worried that the current form of AI is already surpassed most people. Stable Diffusion can generate art way better than I can. ChatGPT can write better than I can. ElevenLabs AI can speak and imitate voices better than I can.

I think it's really a brave new world with this radical technology that has so many immediate practical uses, and more just keep coming out so easily. I never would have guessed neural networks were so flexible, and that's what scares me the most.
The customer.
That's a good way for the app store to have only the most irrelevant content.

If I have the choice of delivering my product for free versus paying Apple a 30% cut, I'm going free every time.

The only people who would willingly pay the vig are those who are desperate for publicity.
I've switched over to using Cascade Gel in the prewash and a Platinum pod in main wash after watching the video a couple months ago. I felt the powder stuff gets kinda messy amd the gel is easier.

I don't need to pre rinse and scrub anymore. Silverware, dishes, and pots go straight in even with food residue dried on, so I save a bunch of time.

Everything comes out perfectly spotless and squeaky clean. Older GE dishwasher on auto.
This is becoming a really annoying problem for niche hobbies/communities where resources are already scarce. I think the problem is that accessibility from a search engine was a side-effect more than an intended outcome when people asked questions online. It's too easy to just chat to a real person now on Discord, get an answer, and then have that answer be buried in a matter of hours.

This problem isn't unique to Discord either. In organisations with Slack it's impossible to find answers to previously asked questions, which has in turn caused us to appoint some champions to get people to put stuff in our organisation wiki.
A similar anecdote is I couldn't download podcasts from iHeartRadio. Either through pocket casts or thier website.
Also twitter went very slow.

I think it was an ISP issue. At the time IP6 was in beta. Now it's enabled for everyone and the issues stopped happening.
Linode is not the same scale as the top 3. I believe even Digital Ocean is bigger than them (for now).
We stop making specific models, and lose how to make spare parts for those models. We don't lose how to make the machines in general.

This story would be completely different if the old silicon computers were replaced with neo-computers.

Also for anything that uses a standard floppy drive there are cheap and plentiful adapters to use flash storage instead of disks.
> We performed automated data validation by sending a small percentage of reads to both databases and comparing results, and everything looked great. The cluster held up well with full production traffic, whereas Cassandra was suffering increasingly frequent latency issues.

Cassandra was still suffering even with the new data services.
It's not strange IMO. Domains need to be cheaper. Even "non-profit" .org includes a mandatory donation and a bunch of other fat.
> it because it serves their most engaged members so well, but it’s terrible for everyone else

I join a discord channel and honestly most of the time I’m overwhelmed. There’s often a ton of sub channels for every specific thing… that aren’t very active. It’s hard to get a feel for what is going on.

I join some only to find everyone is annoyed by my elementary question, but hell if I can find any answers in discord.

I just never know the lay of the land.

The handful of highly active people do, but that’s it.
Early versions of Dragon Naturally Speaking ran on Pentiums.
I'm not as doubtful: iPhones have had on-device speech recognition since at least 2019, with iOS 13[1]. Amazon might have legal or policy reasons for not doing offline speech recognition, but the technology has been there for a while.

Discord has no legal and accessible way of deleting all of your messages. You have to resort to abuse of their terms of service and risk getting banned to delete all of your messages. Do not use Discord seriously or in large quantities.
For me it was like $80 a month for a couple years until I refi-ed and it saved me a couple hundred thousand. I wouldn’t do it now, though.
This is really cool. I've been looking for a high quality (Textmate-based) syntax highlighter for rendering source code on a poster. It would be great to integrate this library with ctags or something in order to perform accurate semantic highlighting for C/C++ (distinguishing between macros and functions, etc.).
Ya the original of what I said was from reddit threads a couple of weeks back on BingGPT where people were trying to get the bot to choose how many people it would kill the trolley problem of hurting people or ending the world.
Currently, a domain can only be a brand and cannot be a true identity. There are methods to get free domain names [1], domain names without identity validation [2], etc. So, a domain is nothing but a method of verifying internet presence.

[1] https://www.hostinger.com/free-domain one example

[2] Any regular domain purchased from a registrar. You simply pay and get the domain with no further identity validation required.
Besides what you said, Bluesky is happening (there is an iOS app that works that is in beta) and Solid is not happening (there are no interesting apps).
I'm not in favor of eliminating the SAT. I don't necessarily believe that SAT prep is materially impactful (I think it improves scores, but not, like, up a tier of selectivity). But all of the SAT improvement factors available to well-off families certainly do materially improve scores; those improvements include not just SAT prep, but also taking the test multiple times, having your results tracked by family and being forced to take the test multiple times, and disability accommodations, which are rampantly abused.

Low SES families are not taking the SAT on a level playing field with high SES families.
Japan's new H3 rocket fails on first test flight, satellite lost
> that's a hell of an accomplishment you'll have to be proud of.

It's hinted by the C-level that if I can pull this off, it would be nothing short of a miracle. I'm pretty sure I can negotiate salary, education, bonus, and what not if I can pull this off.

As far as next, I've thought about that. It would be funny to call myself a turnaround specialist. This would be quite a remarkable feat, but I really don't know if I would have taken this job if I knew what a mess this was...
Don't worry, with this level of aptitude, if "AI" tried to build a rocket the fuel tank wouldn't even hold a positive volume.
I feel like if you want a robust ID for your machines, using DNS instead of hardcoded IP adresses is a better idea. That way you can move services from edge to cloud and vice versa with a single nameserver update, instead of having to do so on every single edge.

Or, if you want to keep things local, run a lightweight nameserver on your LAN to resolve .home or .lan domains. Much nicer to type fridge.home in your browser than 192.168.1.57 or some such.
Bait, until it becomes popular, then a fee?
Chicago is a good example. I don't know if Seattle can actually get better, but it doesn't have to get worse as fast as it has been. And we should at least seriously look at options to try and make it better. (Not just throw up our hands and say that it's unrealistic to expect the city to ever get more affordable for lower income folks.)
Very clever. I've been trying to think of a domain for a hobby for awhile, and I just described the outcome of what I am doing and boom. Thank you!
That's why they built a fairly polished iOS app before "launching" the protocol.
It isn't easy to get senior FAANG compensation at other companies.
That ancient system uses base 2 for fractions, though.
And ppl were rating smart speaker by their assistants, turns out they are pretty useless most of the time anyway. What matter is sound quality and Apple seem to have been right to focus on that
China doesn't have to destroy US airplanes, only port and aircraft infrastructure in Taiwan. They would not have to risk direct conflict with the US.
ChatGPT and Alexa are not comparable at all. ChatGPT build a language model on a giant but static corpus. Alexa is trying to give mostly timely answers do work in real time and in response to an active environment.
The effects of lions mane mushroom has been studied in humans before (https://examine.com/supplements/lionsmane/#research-breakdow...). This is a study specifically of the mechanism by which those effects arise.
Oh wow, yeah, just yesterday I had the unpleasant discovery that what I was specifically searching for had been moved from forums to the Discord black hole... which took a while to notice, since it would by definition not show up in search !
You are correct. L5 is senior, L6 is staff, L7 is senior staff. Source: am L6.
You can trust a floppy and its hardware. You can’t trust a flash drive - Bunny proved that.
The problem is that it is not fixable in the language model without implementing special logic for mortgage calculations, like "if the user asks about mortgage calculations, do this (e.g. invoke python program) instead of regular processing.
That is, this class of questions should be "special-cased" somehow.
But the number of special cases like this is potentially infinite. Even to answer "I don't know how to answer this question", the engine has to be specifically instructed to do so.
Discord really doesn't have an export feature? Seems like something we should all immediately demand. Especially for paying customers.

Also see https://github.com/freenet/locutus
I have a POC I'm trying to get out in a couple of weeks. It's for the #1 feature that was promised in this product, never possible due to the architecture, and we've gotten raked over the coals for it. Wish me luck, because if I can get it out soon, it's going to be downhill for a while.

Apologies for the meta comment*, but I find it odd that an article with only 55 upvotes is still on the first page after 7 hours. Usually only articles with hundreds (plural) of upvotes survive the front page that long.

Or maybe it’s just a slow news day, and not many are beating it out?

*Not really sure how else to surface something like this, other than maybe AskHN, but not sure it’s worthy of a separate post.
The search is per-server so before you even start you need to know which server has the thing you're looking for, which isn't always obvious, and you can't search a server without actively joining it, announcing your presence and using up your finite server slots. There's no equivalent to Googling something and passively pulling answers from wherever.
Louisville 3rd in US for most premature deaths from coal-fired power pollution
- Machines seem like a waste of time
- Access directly to VMs is being removed (and doesn't support TCP over IPv4, or UDP over IPv6)
- The CDN is nice but should support private networking too.
- Volume management is deficient: It should be possible to access and fix volumes outside the context of an its app instance.
- Egress traffic should be free between apps over private networking, at least in the same DC.
Promotions aren't related to management at Google, unless you're on the management track. If you get promoted as a engineer, you're still an engineer. You might be a tech lead but you're not a people manager.
They should have gone with GAA
What began as effectively an IRC-like alternative + file hosting and voice support is now being used as a replacement for forums and I think that's where the issue is.

IRC isn't publicly searchable either unless someone was logging it and uploading them to some web server. IRC chats similarly often contain very useful info and answers.

Discord unfortunately doesn't have any native chat export feature so the best that can be done are third-party exporters, copy-pasting or screenshots which aren't ideal and don't end up being indexed as desired even if communities wanted them to be.
Why does Discord even care if you're discussing/distributing cheats, so long as you obey the law? Who exactly is the Trust & Safety team supposed to serve?
Most hunters likely already have their GPS location monitored anyway if they are carrying cell phones into the field. It is not too much of a stretch to see an edge case where one or more of them could become interesting enough to game wardens to find themselves under investigation.

The vast majority of people though have no reason to worry about their government wanting or needing to know where they are at any hour. It doesn't follow though that they will not be tracked 24 hours a day using tools and devices that they make a conscious decision to purchase, thus enabling this tracking, in real time, and facilitating their discovery should the mean old government ever decide that they are worth spending some of the investigations budget to study.
"Yes you would know exactly, because every hex-colon monstrosity has a predictable hex-colon monstrosity derived from its hex-colon monstrosity."

If the problem wasn't obvious, the problem is that IPv6 addresses (and also MAC addresses) are not human readable. IPv4 addresses, on the other hand, are.

IPv6 adoption might be farther along if the addresses were human readable instead of eye-rolling machinations of a small subset of people who speak strictly in hexes.
My network would look like it has dozens of machines, since everything is periodically rotating its IP randomly around the subnet, and often have multiple IP addresses at once with privacy extensions…
I mean you self answered here. Any person in that discord could be transcribing all the data to a public site, so nothing really changes.
That seems antithetical to the mission of libpurple. There are already a million messengers and protocols, including excellent FOSS ones.
I don't know about you, but I don't use more than one bathroom at a time. Thus if number of bathrooms >= people, I wouldn't call them unlimited, but given an extremely contagious disease that causes vomiting and diarrhea, that sounds a lot better than having to share 1 bathroom with multiple people!
For anyone that's serious about wanting or needing to anonymously post a public message, I would strongly recommend against this advice.

Part of the strength of your anonymity is based on the cost for anyone trying to figure you out. Centralizing your trust in a service that promises to keep your identity hidden is begging for trouble.

The service doesn't have to be malicious and can genuinely make every effort to keep your identity hidden. Trusting services like that creates choke points where it may not have been viable to attack the service for one identity but for hundreds its worth it.

Theres no such thing as flawless anonymity and you can't escape having some number of trusted parties, but you want to keep that list as low as possible.
Speaking of that... Why did that go away? Less 3g? Moore speakers with better insulation?
My Bosch clothes dryer does the same thing. It will continue to beep at you forever after drying my clothes. Who thought this was a good idea???

Interestingly, my Bosch clothes washing machine has a button to disable the beeper. But not the dryer, even though they come as a stacked pair. ????

Edit: yes, I did read through the manual and entered the magic cheat code to make the dryer silent. Still a befuddling and frustrating experience.
"eventual" in Microsoft terms is a very, very long time, and I can safely say that a lot of DirectShow-based stuff has specialised hardware behind it too. Of course the core of my argument doesn't change if I replace DirectShow filter with its Media Foundation equivalent --- generic video processing functionality available to all applications on the platform, vs. being bound to one and restricted to a narrow use-case.
You're very welcome, thanks for using it!
Had it been still there, we would have learnt so much about ancient knowledge.. also amazed to know how big it was at those times. When Afghan invader burnt it, it took 3 months

>> The campus was so vast that the fire set on by the attackersis said to have burned for three months.
It is different when some communities don't even bother with a website and keep asking you to come to Discord for help... which is then not on the Web to be crawled and found !
Create a DNS name ntp.yourdomain.example.org that points at your internal ntp servers.

Configure your ntp clients to use the name, and maybe add a pool.ntp.org entry or two into your configs.
I note that if you are using one of the alternative clients (like Pidgin with purple-discord), they can store local logs that you can then index and search. There is also Harmony for managing your account without touching the Discord website. Note that using unofficial Discord clients can get you banned.

Cynically speaking, platforms like Discord are not interested in their content being widely searchable. If a,user can satisfy their need for information by reading an existing answer (even within Discord), that user needs Discord less. The user depends less on there being an active community in Discord members of which could provide answers.

This all likely means fewer paying subscribers.

So, Discord search should be fine for a few months depth, and need not be good further into the past. Exposing historical data to external search engines is even less desirable.

Same of course applies to Slack, HipChat and whatever other commercial chat-like software.
This is the same reason I don't even bother with anything more than basic ipv6 internet access on my home network. I've made some attempts with using ULA but I could never get it to work right, even after multiple attempts.

I wish there was something in the ipv6 standard that allowed referencing an ipv6 without the prefix on your local subnet (ie: :::10a1:da35:2f4d:3cfc). So you could do all your internal networking with the consistent suffix and just deal with the changing prefix the same way we do with a dynamic ipv4 addresses, dynamic DNS. I'm certain there's a reason something like this couldn't be possible but it just seems like something along these lines is missing.
> I have no idea how you could make a mess when refilling them. The refill bottle design is amazing. For example, if you remove the lid and hold the bottle upside down, nothing comes out. They only empty while attached to the printer tank.

I just looked at the design of a newer EcoTank printer [1] and yes, it looks like you're right that the design has improved over the years.

The L455 model I mentioned in my comment has an older design [2]. It's also a 6-7 year old model at this point.

And you can't even filter out spammy channels like bot command channels. On mobile it's particularly awful where if you look for a message's context, it's very likely you'll lose your "place" in the search panel and have to scroll from the top all over.
Who would have thought that Tesla refusing to allow the use of aftermarket parts could have a negative impact on consumers. It’s almost like having a monopoly allows companies to misbehave and overcharge.
BS. Mitt Romney is conservative but not far right. There are lots of moderate Republicans, or RINOs if you prefer the language of purity spirals.

>I think you are missing the point that using LLMs to improve Alexa would certainly be hard, but it would have been massively worthwhile if it worked.

I really struggle to think how it would have worthwhile. My problem with smart speakers isn't that they aren't smart enough - it's that for anything slightly more complex, my phone has 100x better UX and information density. An Alexa LLM sounds cool in a sci-fi sort of way, but still feels like it would be useless.
