Thanks for the response.

Traffic/contention is simply not an issue on the NYC track system. Especially in the outer boroughs. The issue is the opposite- the existing infrastructure is deeply, criminally underutilized. It is in fact underutilized for the massive 10 car people movers- hence the goal of the numerous multi-decade signal and sensor upgrade projects is to enable better utilization by long trains. But even doubling utilization by long trains- still a decade or more away at best- leaves vast swaths of the tracks completely empty nearly all day. It is this capacity that should be utilized by new tiny autonomous cars with their own scheduling capability and that are suited to provide a complementary utility.

I would agree that there are way (way) too many cars on surface roads. After the lack of use of the subway tracks the next worst allocation/utilization of space in NYC is free street parking. Although I own a car I think private cars should be banned in Manhattan (yes, I am deeply familiar with the various policy arguments, my opinion is what it is) and better point to point autonomous utilization of underground capacity would go a long way towards that vision.

I am aware that climbing shoes are designed to be stiff to give you support, but I'm wondering if I can strengthen my feet enough and use something like this?
Point being that those ownership caps being removed etc. happened inside of a framework. The fact that so many things like removal of ownership caps happened and persisted is evidence that the framework is insufficient.

Don't you think one of the images could be perfectly or perfectly enough encoded in that 1.9GB though? A funny example is Malevich's Red Square. Highly compressible! [0] Line drawings also can often be compressed to a polynomial.

That's pretty interesting. Need to dig into the math more (lazy applications dev).

In this case, the A/B testing is mostly in the form of machine learning in their learn-to-rank scoring algorithm. The machine learning gets the final say as to if those quotes are important or not.

I'm not sure what they do to prevent learn-to-rank from over-optimizing the median case, but it seems to not be enough for the tastes of many power users.
Hard disagree, people are responsible for themselves. Sure society can suck, but ultimately rising out of that is your problem.

Same! I couldn't even find the apk of the old version I bought back in 2012. The old version was a decent little mobile game. This? Advertisements, popups, DLC reminders, and you can't play a round or two without annoying interruption.

I'd pay twice for the game if I could get the old vanilla experience back. I played on Wii, and it's too laggy to enjoy.

I feel like I've seen 10 or so cutting edge separators that allow for the use of metallic lithium without dendrite growth or dangerous rapid discharge. This would apparently lead to a massive increase in power density. Are they all being sat on by patent trolls or what? I'm all for making sure that inventors get paid, but at some point I feel like the US government should just be handing out 10 million dollar prizes to people who come up with humanity saving tech, and then making the tech fully patent unencumbered so anyone can build with it.

Battery tech is too important for the survival of our species to get caught up in these silly hostage negotiations.
Fast.com loads from nflxvideo.net for me. They have a /speedtest/ path.

Sure, they could apply some kind of advanced DPI assessment based on packets sizes over time and other crap, but if anyone complains it's much easier to just say "well, does speedtest.net work? What about Google's speedtest? Hmm, strange, must be fast.com being slow then!". If they just check for fast.com in the SNI header, I know I'd be loading the speedtest every time I want to watch Netflix.

ECH is slowly coming along, but it's still perfectly possible to detect these speed tests. It just takes much more time and effort to set up right.

I'm honestly surprised the article shows enabling a VPN actually working to fix the messed up network here. That would be a perfectly valid solution in my opinion; if I notice my ISP is messing with my network like this, there's no way I trust them enough not to use a VPN.

Ok, $92/month is $11,400 for ten years.

It would cost me about twice that to upgrade my current solar and battery for 100% off grid. ($10K would go to a backup generator that we need anyway because PG&E pulls about 1 nine of reliability around here).

So, if this proposal passes, I’ll strongly consider just not paying for electrical service anymore. I suspect most high income houses will be looking at similar numbers as the cost of solar plus battery continues to drop.

This will only accelerate California’s power grid death spiral.

Edit: They should make the variable part of your electric bill proportional to carbon footprint (negative bills for net negative housholds), and legalize community net metering. This would allow poor people to buy into non-profits that lower their bills, so they could benefit economically form solar panels, just like rich people do. Also, this would even more rapidly decarbonize California’s power grid.

They could make it revenue neutral for PG&E by raising the base rate for interconnect, by giving PG&E cap and trade credits, or by giving individuals the cap and trade credits in lieu of a discount off their bills.
You haven't done any convincing yourself. I'd like to see what your reasoning is before I even think about attempting to convince you.

So... reading the wikipedia-article about them and their (former?) practices, and the bottle which says mixture of olive oils from the EU, makes me wonder if this is useful at all?

Or is it just a 'good' mixture?

Edit: I mean, it's ok for my taste and sense of smell. But what does that say about the biochemical quality of the oil?

Some languages don’t even use word order as the primary mechanism for forming sentences. Latin and Ancient Greek are two examples. They are “inflected” meaning you change the word to show how it functions in a sentence.

Pronouns in English still function this way a little (for example he = subject, him = object).
I'm curious as well about the use of AI in that field.

But AFAIK, the thing is, we humans dont perfectly understand the topic.

So I think we need much more data and/or understanding to input in those methods.
Making the calculation part tedious is as shifty as it can be. The cash part might be a tad more reasonable though.

For context, other countries are also progressively nudging people away from cash, or any in person payment means really. France gov will straight refuse any payment above 300E at the tax office, be it by cash, check or credit card. The goal I assume is straight up to simplify their operation, as there's no middle-men, and they otherwise do serious efforts to make it easy for the tax payer.
No, Tooll is real time !
I did 21/9 during college. It was great! When bedtime came, I was actually tired, and thus fell asleep quickly. I was in sync with the world every four days. My work and school schedules were such that once per week I'd have to skip sleep, but I seemed to suffer no apparent deficit.

When on a standard cycle, I'd lie awake in bed bored out of my mind for _hours_ upon hours, fall asleep with only time for 0.3 to 2.5 sleep cycles, wake up in sleep-deprived pain and misery. (X_X)

In recent years, I deal with the standard cycle with the various in-vogue things like scheduled bluelight blocking, zero-lux bedroom (cities at night are so fekking bright compared to when I was a child), and sometimes morning-only caffeine sources.

I miss my 21/9.

Then he parlayed being pivotal to causing a financial crisis into Harvard presidency and millions in hedge fund consultancy. If he wasn't so obtuse, he'd have face up to the moral consequences rather then shoving fistfuls of cash into his pockets. I couldn't imagine showing my face in public after that, let alone pontificate about how terrible it is that other countries might not be all-in on American financial hegemony.

Looking for private beta customers for our offering serverless-cache
Hello folks, we are excited to make our product “serverless cache” available for private beta on-boarding. It's serverless (like DynamoDB/S3), which means you don’t manage/monitor any infrastructure. When generally available it would be ~20% cheaper than AWS Elastic-Cache and with the added advantage of being serverless. It might provide sub-millisecond latency depending on customer use cases.. If you are interested in a free private beta program, please reach out to us at serverlesscache@gmail.com.

Hey. I wondered about that, too! Because of the slightly green tinted bottle.

Used about 1 fluid ounce, first in a 'Schnapsglas(s)', then in 2 different plastics. In an otherwise dark room.

Still pinkish shine, but different hue. Hard to tell because the light is so BRIGHT and I didn't want to use more oil in other containers. Just what I needed for cooking anyways ATM ;-)
Could you show me the log of it working?

I'm asking for actual uses, not theoretical. I can, and have, come up with theoretical uses myself but when I test them nothing has resulted in success.
Because of two reasons together: charcoal filters don’t remove bacteria[1][2], that is the reason why I don’t expect it to reduce bacterial count. And then any user error (less than pristine pitcher, filter not replaced at the recomended interval) would increase the count.

But there is also a different reasoning. A more philosophical, heuristic based one: The water where I live is treated by professionals with professional grade equipment. They also take regular samples and try to grow the bacteria to be able to tell if they are doing their job right or not. And the quality, at least where I live, is generally good. To improve something from good to excelent you often need to put in as much work as it was already put in to move it from mediocre to good. It is possible of course, but I would expect the process to be either energy intensive, or fiddly, or resource intensive, or require even more specialised equipment. Most likely all four at once. A simple, easy to use, and convenient filter doesn’t pass my sniff test. Like if it is that easy why wouldn’t the pros just do it at the water treatment facility?

Now of course this is just a heuristic, it can go wrong many different ways. And I admit I can be wrong of course. This is very far from my expertise. But this is how I was thinking about the question.

Some of it is. If the US didn't support democracy in HK and Taiwan, then the sentiment inside China would be less anti-US and more pro-US.

I do see a couple of retransmissions early in that query (lost ACKs?) which could be upstream throttling but in any event certainly explains why the connection was slow to get off the ground.

Agreed that segment offload is probably kernel-side coalescing.

From shunting this into Wireshark, you can see that the sequence number grows fairly linearly (often a good indicator of a rate limiter) starting from 1.508s up until the 1.95s mark, but at a rate closer to 25-30 Mbps (1.5MB in 0.45s).

edit: this was for iphone-capture.pcap. You see a similarly strong picture of shaping for capture.pcap [0], and indeed that corresponds to the ~320kbps range you've noted.

edit edit: of course, under normal situations, your bandwidth will get saturated, and steady-state will look fairly linear. If you're using "classic" congestion control like CUBIC or New Reno, you'll see this interspersed with drops (search for "tcp sawtooth"). Under BBR you'd expect to see drops in bandwidth due to latency spikes (per bufferbloat). Neither of those seem to be in play here.
Article says (with caveats) that Canada, Sweden, and Austraila are the early adopters.

Of these I'm only familiar with Canada, in which the economy revolves entirely around government spending, with a few quasi-government oligopolies thrown in (banks and utilities that also have effective taxation power). This kind of administration heavy system is exactly where these ideas proliferate. They are all about exerting power over others, and in a bureaucracy that's disconnected from the real world they are a great way to jockey for power, so it's not surprising to see canada as a leader. No idea if this holds for the other two.

If not on past returns, how do you decide where to invest your money? Have you ever decided to remove your money from a fund, on what basis would you make that decision?

There is _no_ returns that would cause you to re-evaluate your current investments? If you were invested in a fund that had given you say an average of 0.5% a year over the past 10 years, that would not cause you to re-evaluate your investment?
That’s great. Thanks Obama.

Unfortunately, containers are kernel dependent and XNU servers aren’t common enough.

Containers are just processes with enhanced isolation from the kernel.

Windows has native kernel container support, but windows servers are common enough, especially in enterprise corporations.

Windows containers can’t run on Linux and vice versa.
> a lot of which is motivated by a sense of unfairness

This is not something I've seen once in any sort of criticism of "AI art", and elsewhere in the internet I'm largely in a anti-ai-art bubble.

Most legitimate pushback I've seen has been more on the non-consensual training of models. Many artists don't want their work to be sucked up into the "AI Borg Model" and then regurgitated by someone else, removing the artists consent, credit, and compensation.

My point is being able to reliably reproduce copyright works will function as a very practical way to tell if the dataset was corrupted with copyrighted material.

In that way it’ll be a lot easier to prove that a dataset was corrupted, then proving the negative.

This has been a fallback method for Google Breakpad's stackwalker for more than a decade. It generates basically useless stack traces, at least for stacks captured from Android where you're trying to trace through NDK code invoked from the ART. Compounding the problem is a complete lack of available symbols for Android.

It's far easier for Canadians to do this due to the geographic proximity, cultural similarity, and harmonization of immigration systems.

For many Canadians visiting America is a trivial drive across the border, in fact some Canadians make this trip weekly for access to cheaper consumer goods. Hell, I just looked it up and I can get a round trip ticket to Las Vegas for $160 CAD and I'm no where near the border. Hell, I remember a boss telling me that he used to get round-trip tickets to Vegas for $60 and him and his buddies would go there on long weekends. Canadians can travel visa-free and stay in the US for 6 months.

Many younger Canadians who are interested in immigrating may already have grandparents who spend the winter in places like Arizona or Florida[0] so they can draw on the experiences and resources that their grandparents have to make the transition easier.

Additionally most Canadians are native speakers or near native speakers of English usually with accents that are identical or easily masked to blend in with Americans. Canadians who have attended post-secondary have attended institutions that are quite similar to American ones and their accreditation is easily transferable.

I'm not too sure on the specifics but I know that it's easier for Canadians with certain post-secondary education or trade tickets to get work visas in the United States under NAFTA/USMCA.

Culturally speaking the sports are very similar, there are MLB, NHL, and NBA teams in Canada, music is the same, fashion is the same, the food is the same. It's less relevant in the age of the internet but when I was growing up I could watch many local TV stations from the US and watch the nightly news in obscure places like Spokane.

All of this is due to the cultural assimilation and defacto integration of Canada into the United States.

That was a great read. I particularly liked that the dorsal orientation was strong enough that a light below the insect would invert it, even if that meant making it crash. I'm going to build an immersible lamp that I can put into a bucket with a layer of oil on the top (viscous fluid) so that the lamp is just below the surface of the oil. Based on the reasoning of this paper, it should result in flying insects inverting and doing a dive into the oil to their demise.
