I mean I'm not arguing that I shouldn't have to pay. I just think the tiers and prices are bad.

If I had a car that could hold my family of 4, and then I have another kid and my only option to upgrade from there is a school bus, I'm gonna be understandably annoyed. And you could just as easily say "well they don't make enough on cars so they need more people buying buses."
It's not difficult to learn how all this stuff works and be careful not to lose hardware keys. But most people would rather think about other things and just call customer service if they get locked out. That's understandable, but I wish people would take more responsibility for their own security.
Why Are So Many Guys Obsessed with Master and Commander?
No, "serverless" is a toxic term. I get that it exists and I can't do anything about it except refuse to use it. It isn't something I misunderstand because I'm not a marketing person though. It is a term that I understand and disagree with.

Cloud Computing I agree is a usual concept that marketing and experts often disagree about.

Is there anything on Linux not based on tesseract for the OCR?

It's not very good. I miss being able to copy/paste from blurry or deformed screenshots of youtube on Windows.
Plenty of societies with castes had no revolution, plenty of societies without castes had some.

Post-revolution America also had Black slavery, which made it a caste society. Even if we restrict ourselves to America, Tocqueville betrays zero awareness of the impending Civil War.

1848 also happened all over Europe in places that had already largely departed from caste, to say nothing of the Paris Commune.

I find all of this excessive charity towards an incorrect prediction ultimately unconvincing.

You have my attention. I actually raised an eyebrow reading that, last time this happened was when ChatGPT was released.

Temporal is a world of pain in SQL, bitemporal... nice.

People have opinions and inevitably their offspring usually adopt their opinions. There will be exceptions obviously but exceptions make the rule. For the most part that is probably how society changes over time. A high birthrate of Amish compared to the rest of the population could completely change the political landscape.

Anyway, there isn't any proof that Eich hates gay people in the way you imply. He didn't lead any anti-LGBT changes at Mozilla and there haven't been any at Brave. The commentary is that he did one thing that really offended a bunch of people. There just aren't compelling reasons to think he's a monster.
I am, yes! Thank you!

I'm actually been a spec contributor to WebGPU, and can vouch for quite a bit of it, I think it's a pretty great API overall, and I think it strikes a nice balance between the apparent-simplicity-hidden-complexity of OpenGL and something like daunting like Direct3D or Vulkan.

A lot of the things I mentioned above don't really come into play for quite some time. You can get quite far with just triangles, vertex shaders, and pixel shaders. So go give it a try, draw some stuff, and then work your way up and down the stack.
Automotive is different. They're selling a $30,000 car attached to every CPU, there's no reason to have to penny-pinch on the hardware, when an additional $50 would quadruple the specs.
Did you ask for refund/replacement in the shop where you bought it?
If you build an equivalent tech demo in HTML Canvas, I'd be curious to see how it performs. I'm sure you're aware that, just because Canvas layers on top of WebGL/GPU draw calls, doesn't necessarily mean it's performant in the way I need it to be. There are many ways for performance to degrade across abstraction layers, even if in principle it shouldn't.

I didn't test Canvas specifically in my explorations, but I did test a few JavaScript based frameworks, and the ones I found that were efficient sat on top of WebGL, not Canvas. Ultimately I didn't pick those because they had a bunch of other stuff baked in that I didn't need or want, and were already equally non-native (sitting on top of WebGL). And I frankly didn't want to be writing JavaScript.
House is under Republican control. And they didn’t call just any random Justice to testify, they called the Chief Justice.
Well, they clearly have a third option because that's the one they've been taking: neither fighting nor implementing it. Thus the slow pace of adoption.

That's not an endorsement on my part at all, just a recognition of what has happened.

I confess that I'm doing the same thing in my home network -- I won't move to IPv6 until I have no other choice, because that move will take a ton of time, sweat, and tears.

Just to stave off misguided attacks on me: I am not saying IPv6 sucks and we shouldn't move to it. Not at all. But moving to it is a very expensive proposition.

Nailed it. People with kids are way more likely to seek out higher earning jobs and be bucking for a promotion, they've gotta pay for those kids' educations! I have no kids, so I don't currently have any interest in getting promoted and get to just nope out of the rat race.

I’m a robotics engineer designing an open source solar powered farming robot (links in my profile).

I gotta be honest it sounds like you have been exposed to Deere’s propaganda and believed it. To put this another way, I feel like you’re missing what this bill is really about.

Deere has added software locks to their modules so that even if you can source another identical module with identical firmware and you’re capable of plugging it in, you have to use dealer software to change the software lock and allow the module to work with your tractor.

No one is saying farmers need source code, they’re saying they need access to the dealer software tools (not engineering tools!) to allow replacement of modules without a trip to the dealer.

This is extremely important for farmers! Please read the replies to your comments and consider that you may have been misinformed. Respectfully, I think this can be a learning moment for you today.
thanks for the link; i hadn't known of that site.
It would have converted to approximately 3.3 billion USD when Elon bought Twitter. However, even if twitter wasn't purchased and no one sold while it sunk to $17/share (which is about the average of estimates people were making when Elon finalized buying it), it still would be over a billion dollars as an exit. Do you think Clubhouse is a unicorn now?

Or maybe their chasing it because it's a highly relevant topic that might impact lots of people around the world, you know, a kind of human-computer interaction.
Your car, heater, air fryer, and lawn mower are consumer devices. If you modify them and they become unsafe, you're at fault.

However, farm equipment is classified as industrial equipment and if you can modify it to be unsafe without being an expert in that domain, then it is the manufacturers fault that you can do that.

Locking down industrial equipment so that it requires a trained technician to modify it is one of the ways that industrial equipment manufacturers try to mitigate the liability that they face.
We do take the devices at bedtime, in fact, I have a reminder on my phone that goes off at 9:30 pm every night (which I started after discovering the problem). But it’s not just about the late night usage, which is mostly curtailed but not perfectly given I’m not a perfect authoritarian. It’s more generally what he’s doing with it.

I don’t want him going down YouTube rabbit holes, developing a body image complex via Instagram, etc., at any time of day. It just seems strange to me that there’s this gaping hole in my parental oversight that was put there by our educational system.
> And they want this crap to be able to automatically execute workflows without human intervention.

I don't think that's what I saw in the tech demo (sales video?). At least there, a human made the actual decisions, and the LLM did things like:

- notify of enemy units

- show the user what reconnaissance units are available in the area

- come up with possible courses of action

- generate routes (probably by calling some other model that does this)

When the user tells the LLM to send the recon drone, send the course of action up the chain of command, submits operational plans, etc., it shows what was the specific action performed. And for the example operation they had, sending a strike team, that, at least for now, still has to be done by real human beings.

Not to say that this isn't anything to be worried about even if the LLM is sandboxed and well-guardrailed from making real-world decisions on its own; you should definitely be just as worried as humans augmented with the ability to more efficiently kill others, even if it's only with what amounts to an AI secretary.
I was being generous - stemming is poor man's morphology. Empirically useful (ask the IR folks) but incredibly heuristic.

There’s fairly broad political pressure to regulate large players in online platforms such as Apple and Google.

As a result, the EU regulated online platforms. As is often the case, they aren’t stupid, and put more stringent requirements on large players than on smaller ones.

So, they have to know which players are smaller and which are larger. They chose to use number of active users as the way to measure whether players are large, with 10% of the population (45 million) a cut-off point.

That’s why they require all digital services companies to report # of active users.

(Aside: it turns out that Wikipedia is a very large online platform, too. See https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_23_...)

Why? Natural language interaction with computers is like the holy grail of human-computer interaction, of course they jumped on it.
It's a very small, but stable, amount of power generated given the amount of plutonium and the costs/risks of it it's not really worth it for anything else. Geothermal for instance for a home would make much much sense.
> This is true in some banal sense, but kind of misses the point that there are certain domains where high performance software is a given

I work in a field where we're trying to squeeze the maximum amount of juice out of a fixed amount of compute (the hardware we're using only gets a rev every couple of years). My background (MSc + past work) was in primarily distributed systems performance analysis, and we definitely designed our system from day one to have an architecture that could support high performance.

The GP's comment irks me. There are so many tools I use day-to-day that are ancillary to the work I do where the performance is absolutely miserable. I stare at them in disbelief. I'm processing 500MB/s of high resolution image data on about 30W in my primary system. How the hell does it take 5 seconds for a friggin' email to load in a local application? How does it take 3 seconds for a password search dialog to open when I click on it? How does WhatsApp consume the same amount of memory as QGIS loaded up with hundreds of geoprojected high-resolution images?

I agree that many systems don't require maximum-throughput heavy optimization, but there's a spectrum here and it's infuriating to me how far left on that spectrum a lot of applications are.
DC++ is a client for DC/ADC protocol.

20 and 25 years ago, before torrents, it was king and it provided what us, poor kids, didn't have the money to pay for.

I guess today it isn't used that much as it used to be. It requires a client for discovery.

I think the idea there is that it would pass through the portion of the atmosphere offering significant friction vertically (i.e., taking the shortest possible path) and too quickly to heat up to the temperature needed to vaporize.

I believe "what really happened to that manhole cover?" was the topic of a few fun scientific debates on Usenet back in the day. I think the question might have landed on one of the groups' FAQs.

This is cyclic and only lasts until someone is done being the money piñata. Service is born. Service gets big. Service owner gets tired and wants to part ways. New owner takes over. Service slowly or all of a sudden dies.

My thought is the only way to fix this is charge users to upload their content, at a rate of ~$2.50/GB. Stick it in the Internet Archive and give them $2/GB (their cost per GB for perpetual storage [1]), and front it with Cloudflare with the other 50 cents (assuming requests for all content eventually trails off theta decay style). Someone has to not be the object store of last resort, but also the wallet. The Internet Archive already has Patron Services to handle DMCA and illegal content moderation of content/items, but would probably want some extra funds to not overburden staff with this task (which is entirely reasonable imho).

Or use u/stavros' imgz.org [2].

"... a better project might be to read papers until you find something you’re really interested in that comes with clean code, and trying to implement an extension to it."

Doesn't have to be clean but starting from a reproducible codebase at least gives you the guarantees that you have everything. Too often papers omit details that are crucial for a successful reproduction.

What if I'm switching air vent direction? There's only 5 positions in most cars.

I know the one it was on, and I know how far to turn it to get to the one I want.
This removes the necessity of looking at it.

Same for steering wheel buttons (e.g. Up - next track, down - previous track, same for volume)

Same for wipers - only 3 positions and you can tell by their speed which position it's in.

The problem is when manufacturers take existing solved problems and move it to a strictly worse system like touchscreen. That's an inexcusable regression.
There are 2 problems with this:

1. Voyager was launched at that particular time because a particular alignment of planets (known as the "Grand Tour") allowed for MASSIVE gravity assists that made this mission possible. This alignment happens very rarely (I think like ~200 years)

2. Opportunity cost. Yes we could have done this, but what would we have gained? Mostly we would get the same data over and over again. Resources are not infinite. Would you rather another Voyager mission, or Hubble?
That sounds great actually - I hope it continues.
It's Pascal, but extended a fair bit.

It has classes and interfaces (compatible with COM, but not reliant on COM), operator overloading, generics (mostly) and anonymous methods. Implemented a generic Y combinator in it for teh lulz years ago, for example.

It can get a bit verbose at times though, the language itself is verbose but the compiler isn't too clever with figuring out the types when it comes to generics, which reduces readability a lot.
That has to do with the size of the debris.

In a back of the envelope approximation, an object 10x as big in every dimension has 1000 times the mass and experiences 100 times the air resistance. And therefore flies about 10 times as far. (Only an approximation, there are other factors. For example gravity acts the same on both.)

Nobody anticipated the debris would include large chunks of concrete. And therefore it was able to travel much farther than expected.
In addition, would you like home solar for the week of downed power lines after the hurricane, or not?

So many low intelligence likely astroturfing comments in this thread.

Thing is, you know wind solar is winning the war because irrational AstroTurfing is all that can be parroted in response.
That's one way of dealing with corner cases.
I've given some family members small paper pads and encouraged them to write down important passwords, and keep them in their home office.

I'd love to see this x-ray:

> The painter Salvador Dalí had a particular attachment to Millet’s The Angelus, and he also had a premonition about it. He saw in the shape of its figures and the hue of its light a scene of mourning, not just work and prayer. This was not a widely accepted interpretation until, sure enough, the Louvre had the painting examined by x-ray, and the outline of a child's coffin could be seen under the basket of potatoes. The steeple in the distance, too, was a late addition.
Most contracts between an OTA and a hotel chain included language requiring no lower price when I worked for an OTA 10 years ago. Not sure about today, but would not surprise me that nothing changed.
