The water tank for the AirSense 11 is something like $29 and it's a consumable item that's covered by your insurance. I just get a new one every six months.

For that alone it is worth every single one of the 7c extra it costs.
She had been a Pascal programmer (at least for a bit) before moving to BC. I don't remember the details unfortunately but I do remember the surprise. :)

As nice as the route is (and it is spectacular), the characters on the trail were probably the highlight. Each of the 13 campsites are unique and since the trail has steady entry from both ends, you'd meet a new group of fun people each night. There was a diver running a Crab and Baked Potato operation at Nitinat, and the Carmanah Lightstation was handing out XL chocolate bars to anyone knocking on the door.

Here we are on the edge of the world and yet there's humanity throughout.
>>It's unrealistic to expect corporations to go above and beyond when complying with something like a code license.

This is completely false as they (amazon) want to market themselves has developer friendly and supportative of open source

Their actions however say something completely different.

Further Loads of companies and organizations go beyond the legally required bare minimum in all kinds of things not just open source. You have a completely warped view of human interactions if you want to boil all humanity, and all interactions to just what is "legally required of us"
So, what's going to happen with secure banking? Will local govt officials (councillors) get to spy on all my credit card transactions and sneak a peak at my account passwords and PINs?

This will basically make e-commerce a risky business. If I buy something from overseas, will I then get in trouble for setting up an end-to-end encrypted link with their shop or is it more likely that international sites will just stop serving UK customers so that they don't have to comply with an unworkable law?
Exactly. The more people that realize that the internet(and other media) is filled to the brim with various kinds of BS, the better
I am not a fan of HOTT, as nobody managed to explain to me its supposed advantages in terms that didn't border on mysticism.

Completely agree. You need to feed the algorithm the right data. Spend a little time to explicitly tell it to not recommend specific content and channels. You see a channel doing outrage porn (X destroys Y!) and clickbait thumbnails that tell you exactly zero about the content, shallow content mill: Right click -> Don't recommend channel.

Who knew fossil fuels could be so profitable?
Product 1 - failed (why?)
Product 2 - identical use case
Product 3 - identical use case

I want to be clear - it's awesome they are putting in the effort to work in accessibility. But why will Product #4 prove profitable when it is a rehash of an approach that has been tried for years without gaining much steam above and beyond what is already there.

What is the evidence that their tweak in technology will be a major market breakthrough? Is it that much easier to use? Is it that much more comfortable? If the answer is inconclusive, then best to leave this application and find an overlooked problem paraplegics face that really could benefit from a technology solution

Every time I run into a Windows related problem I find an answers.microsoft.com post of someone with the exact problem I'm having and every time the thread runs dry after some Verified Super Duper Senior Adviser Technician Microsoft Windows Expert Professional says "have you tried reinstalling Windows 11".

I don't know if you get forum points for suggesting wiping your drive or something but I've never seen a useful response from someone tagged as some kind of expert by answers.microsoft.com.

Some ad-blockers already provide optional block-rules for "annoyance" elements. Unfortunately, they are less well supported. I used them for a while with AdNauseam until it ate some important UI element or other.
True. But for single-language speakers (and even some bilinguals who haven't thought about this), it is easier to conflate the raw thinking and the language they associate with it (which we know happens after the fact)... because they only have one language to work with. A bilingual on the other hand will understand the concept instantly if they were to think about something as themselves in one language and the same thing as themselves in another language... and they don't have to rely on poorly designed studies to know these things.

Also, depending on how integrated the different language personalities are (probably depends on whether they learnt the language as a child or as an adult), they should also easily be able to see that they are not one personality but at least two personalities embodied in one being (which can then be taken further into understanding that what we think of our "self" is made up of many different personalities based on different contexts... which is all acquired from upbringing).
Yeah, I've only come face to face with a grizzly once, black bear a few times a year over decades in the bush. Grizzly with cubs or on its kill is a serious thing, bear spray is a must.
Everybody believed he was a genius, a real-life Tony Stark, and then he started to believe that too, and thought he couldn't fail. And that's when the crazy ideas came.

If he'd stuck to running Tesla and SpaceX to the best of his ability, without picking stupid internet fights, and keeping his Twitter addiction in check, he'd still have all that respect, and not just wasted $44B.
Error recovery in long-running dynamic-y processes is nontrivial, especially for “programming errors”. While it can be done, much easier to stick to crashonly practices. Also helps in production where you can safely crash it and restart without worrying about stale something.
The average user isn't targeted personally, they are targeted en mass, the more people fall into the category, the more valuable target they become. A personal attack is needed only if the credential storage is not standardized.

I'm an experienced C developer and I wouldn't say this. I'm pretty meticulous, I use as much tooling as I can, and I've still written over/underflows, memory corruption, threading heisenbugs, double frees, NULL derefs, etc. etc. etc. My defect rate has gone way down over the years, but that's probably 50/50 experience vs. an attenuation of my ambitions.

I think the proof is in the pudding here. I can't imagine using a messaging client or an email client written in C, and also there isn't much that is written in C anymore even if I wanted to: you're looking at Swift/Java/Kotlin/TypeScript/JavaScript/C#/Vala/Dart/Rust/Go, and maybe C++.

Is anyone writing production servers in C these days? It feels like they're 100% Go and Rust.

There are notable exceptions, in particular I'm thinking about OpenBSD. I think OS dev is a pretty niche area though, especially when you're talking about OpenBSD's wide platform support, so I think it's more the exception that proves the rule than anything.

I think the whole theme of this article and thread is don't waste your time trying to sell to developers. they block your ads, don't buy your stuff, won't even sign up for your free newsletter to see if you add any value there. generally don't even believe in advertising and marketing. Most of them would rather build instead of buy, which is useful as a developer, but not great to form a business around.

The exception is Free Tiers so they can convince they're bosses to use your enterprise tier.

I only know one person who openly declared breaking off his toothbrush to save weight. As well as using aluminium crampons and all manner of tricks. This was 'cos he was 60 at the time and his knees weren't as good as they'd been. I'm extremely grateful to him for sharing his expertise leading a climb, taking a number of us up Mt Baker, WA. So, you know, sometimes, quote from Hamlet, "there's method in his madness". ;) Or to quote Tesco's (true but disingenuous) slogan, "Every little helps" ;)
I am not well versed in topological deep learning; but can topological concepts be learned by a graph neural network -- like can there a be topological layer(s) that learns the topology of the graphs, like how it's easy to visualize how a CNN architecture can see different hierarchical patterns at deep depths, seemingly learning the greater complexities of a image representation and understanding?
Market cap is just share price multiplied by number of shares outstanding. It’s not really a subjective figure.
The shorts are terrible, whereas my 'normal' home page is a combination of informative/hobby/tech related content and background music, the shorts are a bunch of useless crap that eat my time like nothing else without giving anything in return (apart from triggering of my reward systems I guess).

I just delete them from my homepage and they stay away for 30 days. If they return I only notice it because they sneakily start eating my attention again. Maybe there's a setting that doesn't make them return.
I met an open source maintainer once working on a very popular tool everybody uses who was practically impoverished. From talking to him it became apparent that he was routinely being taken advantage of across all spheres of his life.

It made me wonder how much valuable open source is powered, quietly, by people who are just used to being exploited.
Yeah they did the same thing with wget. Just absolutely bonkers
The Jarod Lanier article this post links to is pretty interesting, though I still don't agree with all of its conclusions. (I don't trust a system that doles out money from OpenAI based on how much my creations train their models any more than I'd trust a plain UBI.) I like this bit in particular (emphasis mine):

>A program like OpenAI’s GPT-4, which can write sentences to order, is something like a version of Wikipedia that includes much more data, mashed together using statistics. Programs that create images to order are something like a version of online image search, but with a system for combining the pictures. In both cases, it’s people who have written the text and furnished the images. The new programs mash up work done by human minds. What’s innovative is that the mashup process has become guided and constrained, so that the results are usable and often striking. This is a significant achievement and worth celebrating—but _it can be thought of as illuminating previously hidden concordances between human creations_, rather than as the invention of a new mind.
It's worth noting that at the time memory bandwidth was underutilised and the bottleneck was execution, hence lower instruction density was acceptable. The RISC concept is now applicable in the form of uops.
"No" is a complete sentence. You don't have to justify it, especially to someone who may be paid to not see the reasonableness of your logic.
RL for LLMs
Blatant, deliberate first amendment violation. Reasonable chance of this surviving the current us judicial system. The us was founded by groups seeking religious freedom (including freedom from religion, at least state sanctioned ones). So it’s sorta treasonous to the us in a way. Which is historically common in Texas, having done it twice (Mexico, US).

They might just be planning to cater to their base but one can’t assume this any more.
> Whenever I run the numbers to decide between an EV or an ICEV, I get payback periods in the hundreds of years. (I can't charge at home. YMMV.)

That was the eye opener for me: the cost of charging and eventual battery replacement made the ICE a long term better spend.

OK, I'll bite. What are you doing with those emails, then? Are you blasting out spam to them? Do they engage? Are the analytics better for those who have subscribed to e-mail compared to those who haven't?

What does the data show?
Why is it laughable?
Is deep learning a necessary ingredient for artificial intelligence?
Kind of funny that "starting you off with all the features that are the same in every product" is a good description of the original motivation for Rails itself. Which is not criticism, the goalposts have moved quite a bit the past few decades.
Information literacy is a sorely needed skill. Too much schooling has turned into job training instead of more fundamental skills.
My claim or at least intent was you can solve interesting property solver like you can solve a halting problem. I.e. not in a satisfying way (no false negatives or false positives with unlimited iterations).

You can solve it to some extent (e.g. does program terminate in X steps).
Despite this topic being brought up regularly, these pop-up forms do work. That's why everyone uses them.

Disclaimer: I use them and so do many of my competitors.

"Does a poor job of increasing conversions" is the opinion of someone that has never looked at the data. You can be sure that the people interested in conversions run analytics and A/B testing on everything. If these pop-ups did a poor job and there was a better alternative, you can be sure that everyone would have already migrated to that alternative.

The "rule of seven" can also be used to counter her argument. That is precisely why businesses try to get the email of visitors: to have more interactions. Otherwise, for the vast majority of visitors, the first visit would be the only interaction they will ever have.

"Works against user goals" might be true for short term goals like jumping through the most amount of content. However, users have different goals and short-term ones are often not the best goals. A pop-up might address other long-term goals the visitor cares more about than going to yet another web page.

But more than anything, these pop-ups serve business goals because most of these websites exist only thanks to their revenue. Without them my business would probably not be viable. I assume that many accept the small annoyance of a pop-up as the cost of keeping the websites they like running. And if the pop-up appears when the user is about to close the window, it does not even stop a visitor in his tracks. He can still close the window without any extra click.
* edit: I am an idiot who can’t recognize golang code (facepalm)

So it’s a Ruby* app, which means code you put in the container but never use doesn’t do you any harm - it doesn’t bloat a binary or take up space in memory.

but…

… whenever you make a change in one of your pub-sub handlers, you still have to redeploy your web workers.

… code and dependencies for your pub-sub handlers is sitting idle in your web workers, increasing your security risk and attack surface

Why not just turn this into a monorepo that publishes three artifacts? Having just one container image seems like a weird thing to optimize for
Show HN: Debunked Modelling the LOCO Conspiracy Corpus
Hi all, I recently finished up a project with some classmates of mine and I wanted to show it off. We took a dataset of thousands of conspiracy theory articles -- Miani et al's LOCO Corpus -- and went about analyzing it to find out how different conspiracy theories connect to each other.

I'd encourage everyone to take a look at the full article because there are some fun visualizations in there, but TLDR: We used topic modelling and sentiment analysis to find out what these articles are about and then keyword extraction and pattern mining to learn what conspiracy theories tend to occur together.

Why the super secret contract then?, why the unwillingness to criticise musk on some of the even simplest things?.

The difference is the vast majority of people are against CSAM, but not too many people are against encryption. So the government doesn’t have a leg to stand on plus the penalties would be much less. It would be much more feasible to act against encryption laws.
1. Swag

2. Fancy swag (that is definitely not a bribe)

3. Being wined and dined by sales people (that is definitely not a bribe)

4. Networking

5. Learn niche aspects of a programming language or framework, and prepare yourself for the future features

6. Food platters (can be hit or miss); word of advice, watch out for the fat Developers with the goatees and ponytails, or the skinny developers who dive bomb the food queue, they will clean up the buffet of the good stuff before you get there.
Also duck out the presentation 5 minutes before lunchtime so you beat the queues.
There is, you can go into the NTFS permissions and just deny access to every group and user on every type of file access. I did that for compattelrunner.exe*

Windows has so far randomly undone these changes so there's probably some kind of recovery mechanism that gets triggered when you alter file permissions. A script running on login setting the permissions through powershell seems to have put that stupid executable in stasis on my machine at least, so perhaps it works for curl too.

* compattelrunner is a telemetry generation tool that seemingly cannot be killed. I have applied every registry hack, privacy tool, and Windows setting, but that damned thing will not be disabled. If it weren't for the driver signature enforcement, I would've written a minifilter driver that makes all files with that name disappear to finally rid myself of this curse.
I'm late in responding to this, but I just use vanilla Gnome and have never had any issues. My work laptop is a P15v Thinkpad. All I do is plug it into my 32in monitor via usb-c and everything works as expected. Maybe my company's IT guys are just really on it? I have no problems screen sharing in google meets, discord, or teams. Battery life I couldn't say, as I'm almost always at my desk with the exception of a couple short trips to the cafe. But on the rare occasion that I am mobile, I don't have any issues with my touchpad or anything else, at least that I've noticed.
Bit flips from cosmic rays. Earth’s magnetic field helps to shield us, but is disrupted now. I work with a CCD camera in a sub basement lab. On a normal day we see a stray cosmic ray every couple of minutes (as a hot pixel). On a day like today, might be every couple of seconds.
Link to what?
It's kind of unavoidable once you're trying to do unit tests with mocks. You either end up with interfaces for everything and a dependency injection framework, or you end up with some very non-isolated tests that take ages to run because they need inseparable parts of the whole real system.

> Cons become worth it from the conversations that happen between folks who otherwise might not have met, that endure beyond the event itself. [..] Occasionally, people refer each other for jobs or kick off meaningful collaborations

And that's the real answer I would give to this question, too. The conf is a reason to go but the function of tech confs is to be a catalyst for meeting people.

In my experience those who get the least out of conferences are the groups of two to ten colleagues that just go to a few talks and otherwise hang around always in their own group, possibly even in a language different from the event's.

Instead I recommend the same advice I found helpful when I went to my first tech event: try to talk to at least one new person during each break, leave room for at least one extra person when standing in a group, always talk English (or whatever the event's main language is) even when the other person speaks your native language (if you're a non-native speaker) and if the sessions are recorded, prioritize talking with people over attending the talks.

And of course, cheesy as it may feel, bring business cards and exchange them liberally, even if it's just an easy way to look up the other person's name without having to stare at their chest to read the badge. If they didn't bring any, this also gives you an excuse to stare at their badge to "make sure you get the spelling right" as you write their name and contact details (GitHub, Twitter, e-mail, website, whatever) down. And yes, introducing yourself will feel increasingly rehearsed over time but that's because you're literally practicing it. It's a good skill to build either way.

The most fruitful conference I ever attended had amazing talks but I didn't attend more than a handful of them because I spent the entire time talking to other attendees, speakers and vendors. It's a bad time to ask your tech support questions (except as an opener if they're the kind of person that enjoys that and the problem is sufficiently interesting) but it's a great way to meet people, even if the benefits may not be immediately obvious until you run into each other again (e.g. I met one guy from Facebook early into his career and after running into each other for several years in a row he heavily tried to recruit me because he had changed into management by that point -- which I declined on ethical grounds, but still). It's an easy "in" even with bigger companies, especially if you wouldn't normally have access to those people.

Oh, and of course it's also an easy way to talk to other people in your field and find out both about the cool things other people are doing and also about how everyone else seems to run into similar problems as you and you're not actually that incompetent after all, because the boring problems are legitimately difficult to solve.

In summary, this is why "remote conferences" do nothing for me and largely seem to just be a way to charge people for video access that used to be free pre-pandemic.
You're still left trying to explain the gradual linear increase over time. Modelling strongly suggests that this is due to increased carbon.
