Sprinter is the Mercedes version of this type of vehicle.

In Europe we just call these vans, as 99% of the time what's meant is a panel van. They have a roof, so you can even carry stuff when it's raining!

American-style pickup trucks are hardly ever seen. If you have stuff (like construction equipment, bulky materials) to move that can get wet, and wouldn't easily fit in a van, you use a dropside van as it's much easier to load and unload. It's the same cab and chassis with a different rear end.

The United States..... because I can assure you the rates you indicated are no where near what we have here. Card Present transactions are 1.5% + 0.15 cents per transactions Card not present it normally 2x that, ACH takes days and is not a fraction of a cent for the normal person, etc.

I wouldn't want to help hundreds of sites I visit every day to track me (with the payment system help). I have no doubts they will sell this info for some additional cents.

It's not fear of lack of privacy. It just feels not fair that if I pay them, they will instantly get more money from advertisers.

And I will just get more ads. Better targeted ones.

Sam Altman's SPAC: $ALCC
Does anyone have any insight into OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's SPAC, $ALCC?

Here is an excerpt from their 10K:

"Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we have until July 12, 2023, the date that is 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (or until October 12, 2023 if we have executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for an initial business combination by July 12, 2023) to complete our initial business combination. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination within such period, we will: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (net of permitted withdrawals and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law."

So they have until July 12 to find an acquisition target.
Anyone hear any rumors about which company might be acquired?

Whataboutism aside, I’m not delusional; I’m quite upfront that these types of biases exist at every organization that is staffed by human beings.

The difference is I don’t allow “gosh, space is hard!” as a rationale for thinking one organization is immune to those shortcomings. So instead of taking a look and asking something like, “Hmmm. Every other organization seems to have a supplier vetting process for safety critical stuff, I wonder if we should too?” We can instead just pretend we’re smart and different and be forced to learn already solved problems the hard way. The supplier thing is very standard quality control process stuff that transcends industry. Knowing if foam can penetrate tile or o-rings operate out of spec are not, precisely because they were non-standard conditions. That’s not to say that the decisions weren’t flawed, but I don’t think it’s as good of an analogy as you may think. Besides, the investigations largely pointed to broken cultures so I don’t know if that’s the type of company you want SpaceX associated with.

What’s the saying? “A fool learns from his own mistakes. A wise man learns from somebody else’s”

I understand that some people are troubled by retributive justice (I am not). But the idea that criminality in the US stems from retributive justice isn't true. Japan has low crime and executes people regularly. Russia has a high crime rate and hasn't executed anyone since the 90s.
For deterrence it doesn't matter what the tariff (the potential sentence for a crime) is because the vast majority of criminals don't know exactly what the tariff is, so it can't deter them, the same reason that they can't be deterred by other things they don't know like the lyrics to the Shriekback song "Going Equipped" †

† Going Equipped is reference to an English crime, I don't know if Americans have it, in which it's illegal to have with you things whose purpose is to help you commit burglary or various similar offences. Prosecutors need to show that you had things which were obviously useful for these crimes (e.g. bolt cutters, a ladder), and show intent and that you weren't at home..

That won't be sufficient for a few reasons. First, in a significant number of cases where people have been exonerated for crimes, they were convicted based on the police coercing testimony, hiding evidence of innocence, and even fabricating evidence. Based soley on the evidence presented, the jury should have convicted, even with a higher standard.

Secondly, the more serious a crime is, the less likely that jurors are willing to let the accused off on a "technicality". Even if they are told they need to judge to a higher standard, their inclination is to judge to a lesser one and this will subconsciously influence their weighing of the evidence.

You're at a safety advantage in a smaller vehicle more often than not. If you're in an accident going fast enough for the size of your vehicle to matter, you stand a very high chance of getting severely fucked up no matter what you're driving. You need to not be in the accident in the first place, and driving a large vehicle with worse handling, longer stopping distances, and a tendency to roll over does not help.

Your average person is not mechanically inclined enough to assess the safety of vehicles, usually to the detriment of the safety of everybody else on the road. Another example of this is people's perception that they're safer with AWD in snowy conditions when all it's doing is getting the vehicle moving faster and giving the driver the confidence to push it way beyond its ability to brake in those conditions.
Apart from surviving ignition, surviving maxQ, the other tricky bits will be surviving re-entry and landing.

I think if most people had to pick the most likely failure mode it would have been either blowing up on the pad, or burning up on re-entry.

Trusted publishers are a mechanism for automatically publishing packages to PyPI, without manually maintaining or configuring any credentials on your local system or CI. They work by building on top of OpenID Connect[1], as mentioned in the post: supported ecosystems (like GitHub Actions) present an identity token to PyPI that can then be exchanged for a short-lived publishing token.

The relevance for package trust: trusted publishing creates a strong relationship between a machine identity (the OIDC identity token) and a package published to PyPI, with the former in turn containing a strong binding to a source code repository's state (slug, `git` ref, etc.). When using trusted publishing, you have proof that the only machine, repository state, CI configuration, etc. being used to produce the package is the one you intended.

The relevance for security: trusted publishing eliminates the need to configure and manage long-lived project- or used-scoped PyPI tokens by replacing them with short-lived tokens. This reduces the "blast radius" of CI or developer machine compromise. Trusted publishers also allow for finer-grained publishing controls: they can be restricted to individual GitHub Actions environments, which in turn can be limited to specific subsets of users on a GitHub repo (e.g. one set for beta publishing, and another set for release publishing).

I wasn't really reacting to anything about NPR. I don't even know really what that is. I was just pointing out looking at these things in isolation is not very information.

One of the feature that is lacking in MacOS Finder is the ability to create a new file in any folder. This repo provides a quick action workflow that adds this functionality to Finder.
> I don't get why everyone obsesses over stopping and turning and shills snow tires.

Most accidents are caused by failure to stop and failure to turn, not failure to accelerate.

> There's a reason that everyone and their brother buys an AWD vehicle and far fewer people buy snow tires.

You clearly live in a very different place than me - very few passenger vehicles are available with AWD (subarus, trucks, some SUVs). But everyone has snow tires.

> What I want you to tell me is why I should prioritize braking and steering if they're not the bottlenecks I encounter when driving in the snow

Great for you? Again, you clearly live in a place with very different conditions than I do. What about the conditions make it so that you can't accelerate, but you can turn or brake just fine?

I quite liked the i960 at the time. The later implementation, the i960CA, dropped all the capability features but was one of the first, if not the first, commercial microprocessor to offer superscalar execution. This required correct instruction placement, which was fun, but also fun. My vague memory is that real-world code could get something like 25% speedup from automatic scheduling alone, which was a lot better than the internally-competing i860.
Why is OpenID used instead of, for example, the already git-integrated gpg signed commits?

Due to mutations, identical twins probably don't even have identical DNA by the time they're born, let alone in their adult life. I don't think forensic DNA testing is a full sequencing though.
I'm simplifying in my statement, but generally the way it works is that basic tests give evidence for more involved tests, and those tests evidence for even more involved ones. If all the basics look good, doctors generally don't want to start shooting in the dark with much pricier and time consuming tests.

So for example if you have cardiac muscle damage, but it only shows up on a cardiac MRI, it can be very hard to get one when your EKG is normal, and they even went so far as to do an echo, and that came back normal too.

There are tons of examples of this in long covid. High end expensive tests may show something, but there is no path there because the book says you need to be showing xyz common with known illness abc before that test is warranted.
I have a misfolded protein illness, and as a layman I was always told the endoplasmic reticulum was in charge of misfolded proteins, either by degrading them or triggering apoptosis (cell death) if ER stress gets too high because of an overabundance of misfolded proteins. As a result I've been doing my best to reduce my ER stress to give my body an edge against the illness.

Now reading this article it seems there's a million ways they get degraded.

So I'm wondering, if any expert wants to butt in, does this new discovery give us new potential methods to improve misfolded protein degradation?
It’s not pedantry, people keep saying “google” “invented” this stuff and a) no, they paid the people who did, and b) those people are no longer there.

“Google” is the wrong model of abstraction to deal with as with the founders long gone there is no intrinsically stable mapping between “Google” and “ai talent”.

This isn’t PageRank where the founder invented the original tech. Sundar going on 60 minutes saying vapid nonsense like “ai is fire” is the furthest extent of his abilities. There is nobody in power at google who is capable of leading in this moment.

I thought we were talking about make, though. Autoconf and the ilk is an entirely different conversation.
I've only driven older RWD vehicles so I experienced RWD + traction control. I just remember a couple freaky situations driving in older RWD on icy roads. FWD vehicles definitely had more control, but again that was in older vehicles.

It's not too good. It's just wealthiest. Because it holds ads market monopoly. Because it happens to be the popular search engine at the same time.

I'd be interested in what survey you are referring to. What came up in a search is this:

https://aiimpacts.org/2022-expert-survey-on-progress-in-ai/

And 50% of A.I. researchers certainly didn't take that survey.

I also see no reference to the "near future" in the question

The question would include an A.I. destroying the human race 7000 years from now.

But I was mainly responding to your comment that "one might even go so far as to argue a literal public attempt at ending the human race."

Unless GPT-4 specifically is believed to be a threat to the human race your comment was hyperbole.

I'll take a look at that video.

Edited at add: and the video quotes a survey that you were clearly referring to that says nothing about time scale. There's no claim the "near" future is involved.

Also, the question is vague and certainly isn't asking if a Chatbot will destroy the human race.
This is not a matter of good or bad, or the absence or presence of ethics. It's a matter of defrauding Google at exactly where their profit is, their cash cow.

To phrase it in another way, if Google wasn't very good at detecting fraud, it would not have been making so much money or becoming such a big company. Billionaires are more likely than not to be absolute misers; the same applies to corporations.
I worked on a highly complex, high-volume automated procurement sourcing system many years ago. Each Purchase Requisition (PR) -> RFQ -> Bid Response -> Purchase Order could have many-to-many relationships, splitting & bundling at each line item (even the arrows above don't give the right idea, as things could go to re-bid, long-term contract with task orders, etc.).

We tried for nearly two years to get the status/state of each PR line item to update in real-time as events occurred during follow-on steps, but it was extremely brittle.

We finally added an intermediary queue and centralized all the logic in batch. Anytime something happened that might trigger a state (not verified), we tossed it in the queue. Then, we processed the queue every five minutes through a rules engine that was a classic factory pattern (a favorite anti-pattern). Every time the PR # ran through the rules engine, it would have a deterministic result. Sometimes it would pass through 10-20 times with no state change, but at least it was predictable.

We thought it would be too inefficient, potentially processing the same PRs 100s of times without any actual change to the state. However, the servers handled it fine, and it was real-time "enough" the users didn't notice a lag. We went from fixing issues several times a week to no changes for the remaining two years I was on the project.
Meh, I haven't experienced any of those things. The view count is useful for me at least, less of a black box. The old Twitter didn't really seem to care about adding new features.
> I understand the focus on Github, they are the biggest. But so many use Gitlab, Gitea, Bitbucket, .. Would love to see some examples for those as well

The focus is on GitHub because GitHub Actions' OpenID Connect support is the most mature of the large source code and CI hosts, and trusted publishing fundamentally relies on OIDC. GitLab has OIDC support[1] that we'd ideally integrate against, but I don't know if others do.

do you know any examples of code that showcase this pattern really well?

every example I've seen (probably toy examples from articles) felt like way too much abstraction had been applied over the problem.
