I had this come up recently, the issue is that it seems that products with multiple "styles" will show the same alert across all "styles". The problem is that often times the "styles" may be significantly different products, in my case they were monitors with extremely different specs all from the same manufacturer.

Absolutely unacceptable. Apps that abuse notifications to run ads get a one-star review and uninstalled. Lyft, Gig, Lime, Instagram, Migraine Buddy—dead to me.

And simply revoking permissions isn’t a solution; the core problem is that the app would even try to abuse its privileges. Imagine being content with someone trying to come though your door just because you’ve turned the deadbolt. Their behavior is still unacceptable.
As long as sellers can still take a listing for one item and switch it to another with all of the stats and reviews retained this is going to have limited impact.
A side benefit of attempting fuzzing is highlighting code built on an anemic domain model. When the code takes some string-y input and stuffs it into types that amount to little more than aggregations of values, fuzzing can't do much. If programmers haven't at least attempted to define what allowable values are for these types, fuzzing can't help identify any problems.

This Go example[1] demonstrates how fuzzing helps precisely define what a valid string is for the purposes of reversing it.

Isn’t the real problem that many ISPs and providers meter bandwidth at all? IMO stuff like this and Bittorrent is how the web should work, although of course I’d rather see an open standard than a proprietary network (if that’s even possible under a paradigm like this and Apple Find My / AirTags).
If the employees keeping tips wasn't part of the contract then the employees don't get to keep tips. For all we know the tips are supposed to be pooled and divided among all workers based on seniority. Or if there's nothing in the contract then management can probably keep them for themselves or donate them.

the same for raises, etc. The contract should have all of that spelled out. If not then the union failed at the their job.

Every single financial company that facilitates transactions does the same thing. They all use the same backend products to do AML, and comply with the same laws.

It’s not like they do it for fun. The denominators are whether those companies implement decent recourse if you’re flagged. Stripe does; PayPal doesn’t.
I'd expect it's some combination of "can sharpie a rock and immediately sell it for a hundred thousand dollars" and rich patrons who are willing to fund things like this to say they did a project with Banksy.
I don't have a scale, and I use whatever basket came with the machine, which I do believe is unpressurized. I don't have the bottomless portafilter, though. I feel like eyeballing pressure gauge and the flow from the regular basket is usually sufficient for me to ascertain the quality of my grind, tamping, and distribution.

Mmhh have you seen Alpaca? It’s the Llama model (Meta’s), trained (fine-tuned) using GPT.

Yesterday there was a paper showing ChatGPT is better than mechanical turks.

> the ground truth is always the decisions made by humans

But why does AI need humans’ interpretations of reality anyway? AI can just get data from the real world instead and use its own intelligence to make decisions. It doesn’t need to learn from humans anymore. We just want it to.

Things are going faster than we can keep up with, and accelerating. Barring a catastrophe, AI is not going to stop, and soon it’s not going to need humans to keep it going anymore.
It's not nothing, there are numerous intrinsics needed, and also "hacks" where the standard library does something that's labelled UB if you did it in your code but is magically blessed OK when the stdlib does it.

That preference to solve things in "the" library leads to other horrible problems though, where C++ ought to have a first class language feature, but instead WG21 has enshrined a workaround in the library which is probably better than if you'd made your own, but rather poor compared to a first class feature.

Take the array. Rather than provide a good array type in the actual language, C++ offers std::array, a library class in the standard library. But this standard library class isn't available in "freestanding" C++ while the builtin C-style array is available. So you end up with awkward syntax and the core language loses flexibility.

Likewise strings, in Rust the type of an arbitrary literal "Hacker News" is &'static str, a reference to an immutable view of this text which lives as long as necessary. In C++ the type of "Hacker News" is char*, a pointer to bytes. C++ 17 at last provided std::string_view which is the thing you actually wanted for about two decades, but the type of "Hacker News" isn't string_view it's still char*.

I'm not a Redhat apologist. I have no skin in the game, but I've paid attention occasionally over the years.

It depends on how you count, of course. I've done these statistics using a variety of git tools over the years. Being lazy, I asked various AI interfaces the question since AI seems better at faking SQL than I am at QUEL or the DSL of the week in schemaless databases.

The results vary depending on decade, particularly since Intel have increased their kernel contributions from 2013 onward. However, when ranked over the 30 years from 1993-2023, as of today, assuming no latency in the data, Redhat wins:

- Red Hat: 16.9% of total contributions
- Intel: 12.8% of total contributions
- IBM: 8.4% of total contributions
- SUSE: 6.3% of total contributions
- Google: 4.5% of total contributions
- Linaro: 3.9% of total contributions
- Samsung: 3.2% of total contributions
- Oracle: 2.7% of total contributions
- AMD: 2.1% of total contributions
- Huawei: 1.9% of total contributions

Windows updates! Security updates every month. (Second Tuesday of each month.) It's lovely. Last time I checked the patch notes. Okay, nothing that affects me. Two days later I found my computer rebooted without any nagging or warning beforehand :|

Yes, we do! We allow users to run `metal.tune` to determine whether two vectors should be close to each other. Then we use that to recalculate the embeddings similar to the customized embeddings cookbook from OpenAI. Then the queries get embedded and transformed into the same space.

Right, culture is frequently described as a top-down phenomenon, so it is appropriate to look at those highest in the leadership chain first, as they are prime movers when it comes to this kind of thing. They shape the organization's operations through their choices of what to get involved in and what to let others handle.

Starbucks is allowed to give benefits to union members without negotiation (why would unions want to fight free benefits?). But most companies don't just give benefits to unions when they can use them in contract negotiations.

Now, I'm not a lawyer, labor or otherwise, so I'm not sure how the law works when you provide benefits to non-union shops but not to union shops, but that's what the NLRB is for.

Oh my gosh, this is actually a huge improvement for customer-facing webpages! They used to be all about coaxing you into buying even if the product was garbage, but maybe the returns were costing them too much. I'm just wondering why they haven't gotten rid of these products altogether though. Hopefully, they keep making changes like this for other product pages too. Do you think they have any plans to tackle fake reviews or reviews for totally unrelated stuff? For example, mascara reviews on a kettlebell listing.

Local scale makes sense in light of the concerns about disease and propagation of invasive algae though. It also could be seen as positive from a cultural standpoint, as the culture of seaside towns could be retained by keeping some of the population in aquaculture, instead of being moved into the same jobs that are found pretty much everywhere. Having 'seaweed harvester' as a role maintains a cultural element that might otherwise be lost, as fishing fleets modernise and globalise.

Another component is that it could strengthen ties between local communities, particularly between local agriculture and aquaculture. Those doing the kelp farming would probably have a few contacts with farmers interested in using kelp for animal feed, such as for the methane reduction proposal, and building a tie. They might also have other aquaculture employment, like clearing algal blooms, which could then be sold as fertaliser. I personally prefer that scene to something that's been financially instrumentised to death, has no local component, and is going to be lobbying to have the rules made its way instead of fitting in with pre-existing kelp exploitation by those with folio rights.
An extreme example of this which applies not just to tickets but a full holiday package is Disney World. If you're based out of the UK you can get a very good 14 day package which includes Disney World tickets, hotel and flights for a significant discount over the US/EU. In theory it should be possible to have someone outside the UK to buy these packages but I haven't tested it.

I do actually track the prices and have built a site that exposes the data[1]. I found a couple of other hacks that are interesting (for example, you can save multiple thousands of £ by just splitting your stay, you'll need to move to a different hotel room but that might be worth it for many).

We see ourselves a layer above vectorDB; we use Redis to index the data. We focused on building the ingest pipeline and operations on top of the embeddings, such as clustering and fine-tuning (embedding customization). Ultimately we want to provide the best developer experience possible, and we believe much work is needed here!

The Italian coast guard accused the ship of “complicating a delicate rescue coordination operation” and putting more pressure on the migrant reception centre in Lampedusa.

The first part is sort of plausible. Having a bunch of cowboys running around can be a big headache for coordination, but the second part? Um, yeah, I guess live migrants do put more pressure on the reception centre than dead ones.
Libertarian types don't have a preference for high interest rates because they have savings. They have a preference for the interest rate to be set by the market freely, instead of being intentionally manipulated up and down by central planners and causing havoc in the economy.

The reason they currently support higher rates is twofold: 1) The Fed has kept rates artificially low for an irresponsibly long period of time, leading to inflation and other economic distortions, and 2) The only way to get inflation (which is pernicious) under control is with higher rates.
501(c)4 and 501(c)5’s are the kinds of organizations that anyone can form or work for if they want their corporation to “use their platform” for social welfare in labor matters and helping marginalized people

corporations formed for selling shares are simply not formed for these unrelated matters

if you’re in a network for becoming executives at share selling corporations and want to be in a network for a group that does other things, then leave and go to that other network

It seems like people who have tried (and failed) at reshaping the for-profit world are unaware of what actually exists to cater to their sentiment already, social welfare and labor groups
Yeah, they do actually. There's a bar at the bottom with the time on it.
I think I already elaborated on why? A bunch of people take information they come across on the internet and think that's the only way of doing things, so if someone comes across the post, looks at the architecture they might think building it with so many components is a required thing, not just optional for really big projects.

I'm personally dealing with infrastructure at loads of different places, and the amount of engineers who over-complicate their infrastructure pains me, they all go for a distributed architecture before the products they are building even have any users, because they've read bunch of blog posts about building it that way.

It sucks to spend so much time and effort on maintaining and improving something when it's not really needed in the first place. Like using a Ferrari to deliver food in a traffic-heavy city, instead of just having a moped.

So basically, I want to save myself and others time.
This is normal in the SEPA zone too. Within some countries (at least the Netherlands) there are apps that make it easier, but all they're basically doing is putting the transfer behind a slightly more convenient link that doesn't require typing in an account number.
I figure returns have to cost them.

What I don't understand is why they don't already do this yet, instead of "flagging", just down-rank the product when it comes to search results and recommendations. If the return threshold hits a certain level, the product gets dropped entirely.
Not everybody, just your ENFJ types. :-)

Honestly, I was at a company who got everybody to do the personality tests and then had a marriage counselor sit down with every team to discuss the results. The goal was to help people try to relate to each other more effectively.

It was honestly a decent exercise. I learned that I was one of 3 extroverted programmers at the company (of 150 devs). I don't know that it had much of a lasting impact, but it was solid effort on the part of that company.

The only reason I know the Optimus Prime thing is that they asked us to find a famous figure with a matching personality type to include on our team's internal wiki page.

I save enough money in gas alone (let alone eating lunches out) to more than make up for this subsidy of me paying for my home office/electricity/Internet. And I also get to not freeze to death in a noisy open plan office all day. It's so much better it's not even a joke.
I'd say the vast number of irrelevant commercial bullshit people get in their email harms the system more. It is spam. If I order a pair of pants from the Gap and they start sending me two or three emails a day, that is spam. If those marketing emails got marked as spam by all providers by default, the world would be better off.

Same with physical mail, which also explicitly just has an option for "bulk mail", which is even worse. If I could opt out of receiving mail from the USPS entirely, I would. (Although I consider them to be the most reliable service for sending and receiving packages.)

This is great, but another thing they really need to do is create and enforce two more rules:

1) Lister must provide all dimensions of actual product (not just packaging)

2) Photographs must show product as actual sized, not photoshopped into a stock photo environment at 3x scale

Especially for home items, it's astonishing the number of items that just provide NO WAY to know what the size is.

It seems like such an easy first step to reducing returns. I wouldn't have to return it if the page did a better job describing the item in the first place.
I’ve been on the app all morning and loving it but it’s not even full size on my iPad. Come on Apple you can do better than that!
Exactly. It doesn’t mean you hate your life or your wife or your kids, just that you enjoy the bit of time to decompress, prepare for the day, or just think.

I'm not an expert on economics, but I think it's obvious on first principles. The constraint on the ability to print money is its devaluation. If the Fed is in a position it would want to both tighten the money supply and print money, this seems like the central bank equivalent of a chess position with the King in check.
I really wish Amazon would flag products who using images very similar to other listings. I'm tired of seeing dropshippers putting a random company logo on an alibaba listing. Leads to crap products and a poor experience.
This is probably not the correct use of the "styles" feature on Amazon in the first place.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm betting Amazon would prefer items with different specs to be different listings, with styles being limited to differences like color, finish, etc.
Your comment is based on a very strong assumption that all human annotators are alike in their motivations and abilities to do the tasks. As someone who has used mTurk in the past quite a lot, I think this assumption is wrong. That was the reason I stopped using mTurk.

I've noticed several products recently that used an old product entry where the bulk of the older reviews were written in Spanish or German. Once translated you find they are gushing about a comic book they loved rather than the computer interface adapters I was looking at. Pretty sneaky since Amazon puts foreign reviews in a different bucket that you have to drill down into, I usually only do so myself when there aren't many English reviews.

Even if what they did is illegal and they get punished, the fines are likely to be something like <1% of yearly revenue and basically a rounding error for them so what incentive do they have to stop doing it?
I suspect the switcheroo scam is somehow profitable or desirable to Amazon and there is no end to the number of shoelaces they will trip over or tangents they will chase on the path to confronting it.
The problem is that Germany isn’t California. There is winter and roads are covered in salt. And old cars rust through and are not road worthy after few welding sessions anymore.
