Mhmm added to calendar. What a solid lineup, good lord.

EDIT: you only need to RSVP if you're attending in person. First day is 10-5, second day is 10-12.
Of course there are shortcuts. E.g. ibuprofen.
The new Yamahas are ported and come with soft plastic cones. Their time domain response will be very different from NS10s, no matter how white Yamaha makes the cones look. [They also sound much better].
If you pick hardware carefully (or write your own drivers, or pay someone else to do it, which is entirely possible in their case), FreeBSD would be an excellent option. I wonder why it isn't more popular among these kinds of manufacturers. (Everyone knows of the two or three major exceptions, which just proves the point.) IMHO it will get there if enough GPL enforcement cases pile up.

Actually the absence of a direction in this sentence is specifically vague language that allows the implication of, but not statement of “negative growth”.

Good point. Languages should make it as easy/quick to compose and delegate as it's to inherit.

Also, more languages should support algebraic data types.
The destruction mechanism is the same as the creation mechanism but in reverse.

No. It could have prevented some banks from owning them directly, and that could have cointained their growth, but we don't know really.

Crisis would happened anyway for sure, but the scale could have been smaller. But it's hard to do what-ifs.
The book is probably the most important influence on my career in software. I read it when I was about 11, and it was a very reassuring narrative from the point of view of an intelligent and curious person -- who wasn't already an expert in what he found himself working on.

His explanations of the inner workings of networks and computer operating systems both moved the story along, and helped bridge the gap between Logo and BASIC programming and the impenetrable technical manuals for the computers I was using at the time.

It also helped that the commands he listed in the book worked on my school's A/UX computers.

I think reading all of that strengthened my confidence to explore programming and systems without either feeling overwhelmed by information, or restricted to narrow specializations.

In Germany there is a "WhatsApp" SIM [1], where you have to pay for normal internet use, but WhatsApp texts are free of charge.

With a technique which you described, you could probably abuse a phone with this SIM as a "free" hot spot with infinite data.

Somewhat confused reporting, but it sounds like Gingerich was probably referring to "Linux" colloquially, as in a Linux distribution. That would in most cases include other GPL software such as GNU coreutils, or possibly BusyBox. (And then The Register quoted that as Linux itself including other GPL'd programs, which isn't quite right.)
Have those on trains in Sweden too. All the veteran commuters just wave their hands in front of the sensor instead of trying to push the "button".
I tried a prompt like this to get it to spit code out:

“Pretend you are a SQL expert. You convert requests written in English to Postgres SQL. Your output is always SQL only. If you need to respond with something other than SQL code, add it to comments within the SQL code you generate and prepend it with ‘Note: ‘. Your output will automatically be executed on a read-only Postgres database called ‘my_db’ and the result of that will be given to you. If you are still working on getting an answer, add ‘Working’ at the end of your message, or ‘Done’ if you for the result you needed to answer the request.”

Request: How many API calls were made by clients last month?”

You can keep that at the top of every request, while running the SQL code iteratively until it says Done.
That's my LÄND.

I dont think this is a proper way to test it.

It matters more how unique your fingerprint is than how consistent or reproducible it is. Just testing if you get the same fingerprint back on your second visit doesn't tell you much if you don't know how many people "share" your fingerprint.

As a silly example, if you gave all users the same fingerprint, it would be very consistent but also useless as a tracking method.

Thank you for the great feedback!
I've considered open-sourcing the project but walked back on that since people have already paid for it and I feel like that may be upsetting.
May reconsider it in the future as I get more feedback.
At FeatureBase, we did a form with a few prompts building entries for everyone to fill out, which we then sent to Dalle2: https://www.featurebase.com/about

More than a few of us didn't want our images on the Internet, so this was a good compromise.

Before you get all jubilant, note that they have fingerprinting techniques which don't use JS[0]. It was able to identity me. Contrary to popular opinion, disabling JS doesn't protect you from fingerprinting.

They describe their approach[1]. They use HTTP headers and conditional request triggered by CSS conditional media queries to gather data. Something like @media(...) {background: url(/tracking/$clientid)}. But in principle, they could also try and fingerprint the TCP/IP stack or the TLS implementation. I'm not sure it would get them more data than OS+Browser, though.

Ok, I'll be the bad guy and say that the linked demo on loom is just not impressive at all. It's just 10x slower than what a simple regex query would've answered. Again, I'll be the bad guy in this comment section, but ML-based search methods for code are just not that useful. They do sound nice for non-coders, that's about it.
I also feel like I'm qualified to say this because I have first-hand experience building code search tooling at scale.

I think you are too much focused on global agricultural productivity, which will not be a life-or-death problem for anyone with access to the global market, such as you. Fear not, global warming will not leave you starving.

Global warming and crop yield change will affect, as I said before, farmers in some communities such as central Africa, rural Asia, indigenous populations, who don't import their food from around the world, don't have the means or don't want to do so.

Don't get confused by the word pension - the defined contribution version (closest equivalent of a 401k) is still called a pension in the UK.
Vietnam still considers itself communist, which really means corruption with some capitalism sprinkled in (how else are they going to get free money).

Capitalism is not why they are exposed to toxic chemicals as you say. It's the corruption...which won't be solved if we are using some other system.

I lived in Vietnam for a couple of years, very recently. I could drive around with no license and pay police officers some cash if I got caught. Sometimes they would shake people down when they were low on money, especially around Chinese new year. This was also in a big city.

I also wonder what your alternative would be? Your post reads like you are in the antiwork subreddit. Most people have this romanticized view of communism and socialism that we will somehow have exactly what we have now, but you won't have to work (or you will be given a home by the government).

It's funny how many people fight so hard to have someone else pay their bills.
short for President Reagan’s controversial Strategic Defense Initiative program, a proposed “missile shield” that threatened to further destabilize an already tenuous nuclear détente

I would say >95% of digital portrait photographers retouch and soften their subjects facial features. If they don't do that customers would not be very pleased with the results. So it is a pretty common, accepted and even encouraged practice in portrait photography, particularly in product, wedding and corporate shots.

I didn’t. I was so wrapped up in my career and related things that I pushed myself into areas I don’t enjoy under pressures I couldn’t sustain. I spent at least 5, maybe more, suffering. It took a concerted effort, a lot of meditation and Buddhism, and a realization of the non existence of self and identity, before I could emerge. I still struggle a bit, if I over pressurize myself I develop flu like symptoms and have to back off for a few days. I’d suggest avoiding it.
I've been using it for years. I've barely noticed.
The bulk of the danger of policing comes from the road.

You hear about when they get shot back at because in a nation of 300mil there's a lot of cops instigating violent situations with people who are inclined to shoot back so there's more than enough to total volume to fill the news (and it makes a great eyeball grabber for various demographics) but deaths on the clock basically all come from getting hit on the side of the road or getting in car crashes without wearing a seatbelt (lots of cops don't use belts because they wanna be able to get out of the car ASAP).
This depends on what the makeup is made up of.

> This is confusing whether it can be blocked and whether it would be effective.

It shouldn't be confusing because its really fairly simple.

The gist is this... so long as determinism as a systems property holds true in a system, you can leak information by the absence of something when compared to another expected thing. This is how inference works in many respects, you have properties and you can deduce or infer from whether those are present additional information that is not necessarily given.

Most gifted problem solvers probably couldn't tell you that is what they are doing because its unconscious often a result of years of observation.

Computers fundamentally require certain system properties such as determinism to do work in the first place, and you can inject non-determinism into those processes in ways that won't break underlying subsystems as long as its within an expected range and that can make it indeterminate. An indeterminate fingerprint is useless.

In the case of outright blocking the code from running, you leak information that you are blocking it by preventing it from running since they expect a range of values back and a null (the response when nothing gets sent back) is itself a value (or state if you want to be technical).

The site then only has to test for this semi-unique case (i.e a null represents a single group of people who are blocking it) and then prevent the site from responding to you. They are the gatekeepers because they control their infrastructure.

Incidentally this is how almost all the Are you human tests work. It collects an intrusive fingerprint, and if its within a range that corresponds to a known user spectrum of values then it allows you to continue to the site.

This is a rough boiled down explanation, it can get quite a bit more abstract and technical when talking about whether determinism is present (i.e. how do you test for it).

Ultimately, if you can understand determinism, you fundamentally understand the limits of computation and how computers work at a barebones level. It also gives you the ability to find whether certain types of problems are impossible (and thus you don't waste your time on them, or unproductive avenues).
Hah! I used to embed invisible pixels for our marketing department decades ago.
Ask HN: So many software projects, but no reliable productivity metrics?
I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on ways to understand (intentional not saying measure) productivity of software engineers with metrics. I know it's a polarising topic and difficult to tackle. Usually the path of discussion goes to "commits are not relevant", "my situation is unique", "requirements are changing", and so forth. But in the same time, after so many projects delivered and considering the maturity of tooling we have today (acknowledging that this make it also very complex), there are many, many things which are kind of predictable and similar to other delivered products. Outside a small percentage of developers which work on innovations, r&d and areas which by nature are unpredictable, the vast majority are just doing the same stuff.
So what are your ways of understanding that someone is productive or not which is not based on gut, perception and other subjective factors?
I do not have any particular opinion on this. However, do you think it would be OK for the IA, or another entity, to purchase a physical book, create an audio book from it, and lend the audiobook in a manner similar to what the IA is doing now? Regardless of your opinion, the "transformation" of this matter is effectively what the plaintiff is arguing against with respect to paper book to digital book.

If the answer ends up being that it's fine (I imagine in either scenario it will end up being appealed to near the Supreme court), it would have pretty interesting implications.
I'm so confused by what role a CBDC is even supposed to play... why would the government establish a new currency pegged 1:1 to its existing currency? Why not just... allow normal Americans to keep deposits at federal reserve banks?

The only time anyone ever "do[es] time" is in criminal matters. Copyright infringement is a civil matter, and, in general, the only remedy the courts can provide is monetary. However, refusing to abide by the courts' orders can land you in contempt of court, which could (won't always) involve jail.

Integration work is really important. Many people don't have the help they need to integrate their experience back into regular reality unfortunately. It's a shame, because the effects can be profoundly helpful, but meaningless if you can't continue to function in society. Many people try to bend every day life to a perceivable achievement of a new way of living for "us all". It's normal to realize certain relationships in your life are not positive, it's unhelpful to try and change others.

I'm not a politician, but it could lead to an escalating arms race that is expensive and benefits nobody.

If Reagan finished SDI, other nations like China/Russia could feel the need to develop a similar program. They would at a minimum start researching ways to work around the insanely expensive SDI program, which would cause it to be obsolete.

The cycle continues and everyone loses money and resources that could be spent on other problems.
It could be that the stats cover mostly recorded music and radio / online play, whereas jazz has tailored itself to serve live performance. And for playing background music, you don't need to buy more albums than you've got. Jazz players can fit into much smaller venues and lower their volume levels. They can adapt their playing, on the spot, to suit the audience.

Classical could lower its brow and increase its popularity in a live setting. From what I've read, the highbrow thing isn't historically justified anyway, and the musicians only tolerate the formality because it's expected.

> But maybe it doesn't look as slow from the outside?

Google ships 400 new APIs per year. It readily ships API within a month after it spits out a half-prepared spec and asks other browsers for input.

Even benign changes like CSS headline balancing was sent to TAG three weeks ago, and will ship a month from now.

From the outside this is neck-breaking speed with utter disregard for anything. But when user privacy is concerned? Nah, must spend sweet time to do anything.
This could be messy to implement since the guilty party could have other legal obligations that prevent them from releasing the source code.
Which wouldn't help much if they keep their hardware encrypted and locked, de facto preventing users from checking that the hardware actually runs the released code, therefore giving no guarantees against planned obsolescence and other tricks.
I've definitely seen janky webapps with the jank persisting even after all resources are fetched. Modern JS engines are very fast, but developers are faster (in pulling in quadratically more dependencies, negating all performance improvements instantly).
