Most of these platform have reached their critical mass to stay in business (and time to attract the customers like you) only because of the free tier.
Sorry but even a low cost tier is too much for most wanting to give a try to a new infrastructure/stack. Most of these adoptions come from hobby projects trying it first and then recommending to use it in a professional setting. In a professional setting yes. you can afford to pay to low cost to evaluate it but you cant afford the time to do so. So they always rightly offer a trade of time to evaluate for the free cost. This is what actually brings the initial customers.
There are plenty of dishwashers faster than 20 minutes, they're all in restaurant kitchens which do have a speed requirement. Several bleeding edge people have installed restaurant style dishwashers in their private homes but the requirements (in terms of energy use, danger of the chemicals involved, noise, temperatures reached) make them not a good fit for almost all homes.
DDoS detection and remediation with Akvorado and Flowspec
I tried doing the same thing with the Radeon R7 250 (an old GPU that was weak when it was introduced) and got essentially the same answer, so it doesn't seem like it's just regurgitating praise.

What impressed me just as much about these answers, though, was that it correctly identified that the comparison was silly. I don't believe it has seen that exact comparison before, so it seems like it has to have a granular enough categorization of tokens to know that people would say a comparison between a GPU and a computer is silly, and that those are a GPU and computer, and that one is old and the other is new.
>"Will it read today? Or am I going to lose another file or two?"

Yeah, even in my poor country, people were quick to replace them with USB thumbdrives. Floppies were just too damn unreliable, especially when using school/public computers.

But, for us students back then they provided a nice emergency escape. When we had to hand over our assignments on floppy, and we didn't complete them in time because lazy, we would open the .doc assignment file in notepad as binary, delete some random data, then save it to floppy. It would be 2-5 days till the professor would get back to you saying "the floppy you gave me was corrupted, please resubmit your work ASAP" and that gave us enough time to finish it.

Thank you for your sacrifice floppies.

Median means at least half of the people cannot afford it.

That means the rent is a massive burden on half of the locals at least, likely many more since the burden does not scale linearly.

Second, check median wage and check the distribution of wages compared to house prices.

We're talking how many millions of people here?
Elon is only INTP if INTP means "horrible person" (I'd use much stronger words if I thought it wouldn't get me blocked).

Someone who has worked hard is just trying to find out if they are employed. There is a massive power imbalance -- probably one of the largest power embalances two people on Earth can have, and all Elon can do is answer with memes, emojis and slander (Elon's latest tweet on the issue is "The reality is that this guy (who is independently wealthy) did no actual work, claimed as his excuse that he had a disability that prevented him from typing, yet was simultaneously tweeting up a storm. "). Given Elon's previous experiences with insulting people he doesn't like, I'm not going to believe that without some independant evidence.
> What if Meta had spent their $$$ on funding and shipping titles like it?

They did, e.g. Resident Evil 4. However the highest-selling games on the store are Beat Saber (by a large margin), sports games and social games. That's what people want to play with the Quest. Going wireless/low-spec was absolutely the right decision and that has been proven by the sales figures.

Best thing is you don't have to compromise. Want high specs? Use Air Link with your PC, it works really well. Sensitive to latency? Plug in an extra long USB-C cable. Granted it's not quite as frictionless as the PSVR, but tethering is a deal breaker for me personally.

> The step away from Quest Pro feels incoherent.

Agreed. As far as I know the intention was always to make money in the MR/productivity space, with the Quest 1/2 being a sort of trial run (evidenced by all the 'experiments' and new functionality they added over time). Perhaps the Quest 1/2 are doing better than they expected and now they don't have a strong direction.
In the last year by coincidence I had to buy several quite expensive items that I either never bought before or bought last time quite a while ago. So, I wanted reviews. That's when I learned just searching for reviews is pretty much useless now. It's all blanketed by marketing spam. What you do instead is find a place where real humans discuss the topic, and read it. Doesn't have to be reddit, though it often works. Pretty soon you encounter mentions of review sites that people mention. Once you see some site mentioned repeatedly, go there and search. Or, if they have sulky search - happens more often than it should - go to the search engine and search on that specific site. This gives much better results without wasting time digging through piles of crap.
Buddhism is very distinct from Hinduism. In particular, there aren't multiple deities to worship and there is no caste system.

Buddhism, the dominant religion of India circa 400AD (as per Chinese travellers), was already under attack from Brahmins who made it a key strategy to get royal patronage, set up the religious rules for society which heavily favored themselves and also focused on acting as confidantes to kings, leading to the elimination of Buddhism(focused on monastic life) from much of the Indian subcontinent even before Islam was founded.
> I think it works perfectly for stack overflow. Rarely is the full answer in the Google blurb. I almost always click through to the actual SO post.

No. There are websites that copy the content from SO to their Site, and then they SEO themselves to the top on Google, so that the SO Page is lower than the Copy Page.

This is not about the Google blurb.
The person had to ask via public tweet if you are still employed or not.
Embracing open source and freedom ideologically is very difficult. You can install Firefox, and still feel claustrophobic when you see paid-for default bookmarks and sponsored content everywhere. You can install an open source operating system, but when you learn your system is ACTUALLY running MINIX at the hardware level, which is connected to a 3g chipset listening for updates to do whatever the OEM wants, it all starts to feel like a losing battle.

Let's say you're really determined to have freedom, so you buy a fancy new RISC-V single board computer. Fully open source architecture, bleeding edge stuff. You'll learn quickly the GPU relies on a closed source kernel that the OEM refuses to provide updates for after as little as a year or two, effectively acting as hardware DRM, when your device was supposed to be as free as it gets.

There are many roadblocks in the way of being a free software/open source fanboy.
There are no ads on my AppleTV. Maybe this depends on which apps you have installed - Apps get to put content (usually stuff you're in the middle of watching, or new shows) on the AppleTV home screen. Perhaps some are abusing this privilege?
In which case Meat got, best case, competent people. Since those people started from scratch in an organization that never did what those new folks planned to do, as an organization Meta was still incompetent in that field compared to others. Now, being Meta and having all those new people, and the budget, could have built a proper org for hardware. Something that would require quite a cultural change so. And that latter bit is hard.
This doesn't surprise me, I pirate stuff because I am bored and want something to watch. The price tag to buy movies at $20 or so dollars is just too much.

I did have a patch of piracy free media when Netflix was had everything I wanted to watch, now Netflix cancels nearly every show I get excited about after one season. In addition to this there are like 5 or 6 providers now, paying $20 or so per provider for 4k streaming is just too costly.
I normally enjoy Aaronson's writing, but I'm actually chilled.

This essay depends on a specific, American-hallow take on the Second World War. The 'Orthagonality Thesis' is just a fancy way of shifting the burden of proof from where it should be -- on the person claiming that intelligence has anything to do with morality. It would be better to call it what it really is, the null hypothesis, but sure, ok, for the sake of argument, let's call it the OT.

Aaronson's argument against the OT is basically, when you look at history and squint, it appears that some physicists somewhere didn't like Hitler, and that might be because of how smart they were.

This amounts to a generalization from historical anecdote and a tiny sample size, ignoring the fact that we all know smart people who are actually morally terrible, especially around issues that they don't fully understand. (Just ask Elon.)

I'm not even going to bother talking about the V2 programme or the hypothermia research at Auschwitz, because to do so would already be to adopt a posture that thinks historical anecdote matters.

What I'll do instead is notice that Aaronson's argument points the wrong way! If Aaronson is right, and intelligence and morality are correlated -- if being smart inclines one to be moral -- then AI (not AGI) is already a staggering risk.

Think it through. Let's say for the sake of argument that intelligence does increase morality (essentially and/or most of the time.) This means that lots of less intelligent/moral people suddenly can draw, argue, and appear to reason as well or better than unassisted minds.

Under this scenario, where intelligence and morality are non-orthogonal, AI actively decouples intelligence and morality by giving less intelligent/moral people access to intellect, without the affinity for moral behaviour that (were this claim true) would show up in intelligent people.

And this problem arrives first! We would have a billion racist Shakespeares long before we have one single AGI, because that technology is already here, and AGI is still a few years off.

Thus I am left praying that the Orthogonality Thesis does in fact hold. If it doesn't, we're IN EVEN DEEPER TROUBLE.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I do believe we've finally found a use for professional philosophers, who, I think, would not have (a) made a poorly-supported argument (self-described as 'emotional') or (b) made an argument that, if true, proves the converse claim (that AI is incredibly dangerous.) Aaronson does both, here.

I speculate that Aaronson has unwittingly been bought by OpenAI, and misattributes the cheerfulness that comes from his paycheck as coming from a coherent (if submerged) argument as to why AI might not be so bad. At the very least, there is no coherent argument in this essay to support a cheerful stance.

A null hypothesis again! There need be no mystery to his cheer: he has a good sit, and a fascinating problem to chew on.
I wonder what it is about dishwashers that need 3h in order to be efficient, when hand washing can accomplish the same task much faster for similar amount of resources as long as you don't wash under a continuously open faucet.

I had not heard this before (not that i am super up on this kind of thing) is this a feature that was announced recently or before the change in ownership?

I wouldn't think Twitter was ever likely to adopt something that will allow it's users to move away and easily keep their followers.
A good summary of key attributes of that journey (why I like HN) but I would insist the conclusion doesn't follow directly and is rushed.

We know that we are far from having figured out all fundamental physics: All the "dark" stuff in cosmology points to the pieces of the puzzle not fitting well together, if at all.

The question is what sort of local experiments can help lift that next weil of ignorance and if we are collectively capable to imagine them and pursue them.

The issue with local physics is that it is what it is (as Feynman who triggered this thread might say) and what is accessible to us to explore does not match to perfection the socioeconomic convulsions of homo sapiens.

The high energy accelerator physics paradigm (which is but one of the possible local physics windows) may have been exhausted for our current cirumstances but I would bet not in general. The pattern of all physical systems we know is that if you keep pushing them they keep revealing new behavior. We may have hit an energy gap that requires too many resources to cross. But maybe the only resource missing is imagination. Who is to tell?

What is my conclusion? I would agree the success patterns of the past will not repeat on a cookie cutter basis. And theoretical physics is certainly gyrating uncontollably in the absence of experimental anchors. This only raises the bar for people to do a better job at connecting the dots.
> Makes you wonder what Facebook has been doing with all those billions spent on VR

Patents.

When AR/VR Renaissance happens in like 10 years, Facebook will be to it what nokia was to the smartphone wave. That's the best case scenario, the worst case scenario is they'll milk some patents with industrial applications.
> 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 was always an alternative/replacement for forums for many people (there was always the IRC vs forums debate for projects, gaming teams, etc.). Discord is just better IRC (Slack would have been this without the self sabotage via limited free accounts and sleeping on voice chat for years). Now it's more... Discord vs Reddit. But think of all the lost lore on those IRC servers or random private forums that are now gone.
Talk is cheap. Back up your claim. Do you have downtime for the past 2-3 years?
Well, you could of course use some tickets from other operators in the same region. In NRW there is the handy eezy NRW[0] ticket system where you just pay the kilometers travelled "how the bird flies". So even the connections that would be expensive otherwise could be cheap.

I use it sometimes for the last bit of my long distance travel if I visit my parents (not directly in VRR region but in Regionalverkehr Münsterland (RMV)). It states that it works for all stops within NRW - which is annoying as one of the busses I could take actually goes to Osnabrück (Niedersachsen) and I cannot use - even though it's actually operated by the NRW regional transit provider.

Overall public transit is / was a mess in germany and 9€ Ticket really was an eye opener on how easy it could be to hop on and off of everything that's moving however you like.

So typical of the modern Google. Shoving ads at us down every possible channel.
Google didn't "Index IRC". Source: have been on IRC before Google was a thing.

What Google indexed was people's logger bots putting channel logs on the world wide web.
Gross. At the risk of sounding like an old man yelling at a cloud, almost nothing of value can be communicated in so short a span. It’s like all the big players suddenly think that Vine was right all along, and blink-and-you-miss-it short form videos are the apex of the internet.
Readme says it doesn't work?

'mvn install works with $JAVA_HOME set to a Graal JDK (tested with 22.3).

--native-image works with the current development build (23.0.0), but-- bugs out with the current release version.

native-image doesn't yet do what it should.'
As someone who has worked on integrations with Jira for many years, it's the length of time bugs stay open. Our customers use Jira and they have to put up with its buggy behaviour that takes a very long time to get fixed or is just marked won't fix without explanation. Every product has bugs of course, but their attitude to them is quite bad. For example, there was a bug to do with epics and webhooks for years. Then they finally fixed it, then Jira "next gen" broke it again. Couple of years later it was fixed again. I understand from some ex employees that the Jira product is quite hard to work on, which makes sense given it's lifespan.

As a user, it's ok. It wouldn't be my 10th choice, but it's not the worst tracking tool out there.
Kopete? I also remember some Linux MSN clients at the time actually told you when some contact closed the conversation window. That was really cool.
> Maybe it would make more sense to subsidize the equipment that would be necessary to gather the data.

I believe it is subsidized. Or more precisely, from https://media.fisheries.noaa.gov/2021-11/06-102-Revision_sig... :

] OLE currently manages a grant that provides relief to fishermen for their initial VMS equipment purchases through cost reimbursement. This grant, and any reimbursement under it, is subject to available funding.

That doesn't mean it's actually funded though.

> These are public waters and they are taking a public resource.

Even more directly, this only concerns the "owner or operator of a charter vessel or headboat for which a charter vessel/headboat permit for Gulf reef fish has been issued" (emphasis mine). https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-50/chapter-VI/part-622/su... .

> The publisher made a conscious editorial decision to tilt the tone of the article towards this being a huge invasion of privacy rights

Agreed! They didn't mention that it was only certain types of charter boat (see emphasis above), AND they didn't mention how the decision says that all of this information already had to be reported, with no evidence of people faking their trip records.

Hence it cannot be anything about "secret fishing spots".

Which reminds me about where I worked back in the neolithic.. we had an intruder alarm horn in the corridor, which was supposed to sound if someone didn't enter the magic sequence at the entrance door.

But it had some issues, so sometimes it just went off. It was very loud and annoying. One day our tech manager couldn't take it anymore and came running out of his office, with a nipper in hand, and, as he was a really big guy, reached up to the horn up at the ceiling and cut the cables.
I should have been clearer.

The way I understand it, for healthy people, a low Vitamin D result on a blood test doesn't merit supplementation.

For various specific illnesses, diagnosed separately, addressing Vitamin D deficiency through supplementation could help.

Riggght? Every couple months my managers start harassing me about going for promo. Chill out. I just want to write code. The higher L I am, the more pointless meetings I have to endure and the less code I can write. Do you not want people that actually get things done, competently? Or do you want to save all the coding for the L3s so we can really double down on that tech debt?
Nah, the so-called 'isms' of India ('Buddhism', 'Jainism', 'Saivism') are called agama traditions. The question scholars face or faced is this: what was earlier? Indologist story that both left wing and right scholars accept is that: there was Vedism, corrupted to become 'popular' hinduism, later Indian Martin Luther (Buddha) fought against the veil immorality of Hindus (because caste system forces immoral obligations on everyone), thereby Buddhism emerging. This is the standard story.
The Oxford English Dictionary even points out the fake etymology for bachelor meaning a laurel wreath, and says it's just an old pun.

I am a little from box A and a little from box B on this, myself. If the dishwasher is too fast, I'd suspect it does a poor job, or I would face revaluation of the relative worth of shared work: if cleaning declines in burden then more of it may have to be done.

I'm not sure why I expected more, but I was a little disappointed.

Soldering some wires onto an FTDI chip in a pinch is great, but the chip is doing all of the work really. I was hoping to learn I could make a serial to USB with _less than_ an FTDI chip.

That said, respect for the effort of taking the photos and writing it up, and it was worth a read to learn about those naughty Scots bricking peoples devices with bad drivers.
What you have described is an “artist’s impression” diagram but not how it works IRL. Having physical SIM removes the requirement of the entire phone having to be a certified malware proof secure device, which is hard and a bit anti-consumer.
