I haven't tested this either, but why would the branch be "largely unpredictable"? It's always going to evaluate to false except once, and the one time it evaluates to true the rest of the search will be finished within the branch.
I've been looking for a large comfortable neoproene mousepad/desk pad which is conductive and can be grounded. I think this would help prevent damaging your computer or peripherals from ESD.

I haven't been able to find anything. The electronics industry ESD mats are rubber for temperature resistance and cleaning, but not comfortable or good for mousing. I found some small cheap mousepads on AliExpress that claim health benefits from grounding but nothing large or high quality.
How is that relevant to the topic here?

How do you know what the people in cars are doing? How do you know what the people are doing?

Cars take tons of space, and traffic means that they take it up for longer, and use the space even less efficiently. Cars are an inherently space-inefficient transport mechanism. Replacing cars with bikes improves street throughput several fold, removing that traffic. Removing cars mean that the same physical street can serve the transportation needs of more people, and let them travel more quickly.

We have to start to realize that the failures of car infrastructure result in less jobs, less leisure time, less living.
asciidoc-diagram & Kroki look cool, hadn’t seen them. I don’t think Plot’s very good at (or built for) that sort of diagramming, though you can do it if you want: https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/plot-finite-state-mac....

What I personally like most about Plot is that it’s purely JavaScript (/ TypeScript); it doesn’t try to be serializable as JSON and portable to Python etc. So whereas Vega-Lite has to have its own expression language (https://vega.github.io/vega/docs/expressions/):

"transform": {
"calculate": [{"field": "b2","expr": "2*datum.b"}],
"filter": "datum.b2 > 60"
},

…in Plot you’d use plain JavaScript:

y: d => 2 * d.b,
filter: d => d.b2 > 60

…which I find easier and more powerful. (But I don’t need VL’s portability; others may.)

Perl: https://www.perl.org/

Like Bash, Perl is also widely available, more concise and faster than Python, and more of a full programming language than Bash.

People love to 'hate on' Perl, but how many of them have actually used it?

Most Linux and Unix systems include Perl by default and Perl-compatible regular expressions are the defacto default. For quick and dirty, non-Bash scripts Perl is an excellent choice.

The truth is that Salesforce implementation partners vary incredibly widely in standards, and the platform has grown to be so large in part because of its customization opportunities. Salesforce has provided the tools to make the platform secure, but it is up to the implementation partners to use them. The finger needs to point to the partners doing this work.

These aren't mistakes, this is truly people cutting corners to either get a project across the line or to do it cheaply.
Traffic engineers in many places in the US are hesitant to install life-saving infrastructure if it risks scratching the cars of careless drivers. So kudos to NYC for being braver and making better decisions.
The majority of international students coming to the US are wealthy or from upper middle class families . Do you really want to shut out deserving people who cannot afford to study in the US . Or make the US similar to Vancouver, BC where all the wealthy elite moved and bought up all the businesses and real estate after working for a few years ?
I have been working for a while on a wooden sailing ship model, where at times one will reference model parts in terms of real dimensions - e.g., a 4" x 18" piece of wood. But that has to be translated into the model's scale when measuring the model parts.

To streamline this, I made a little Arduino-driven device with an OLED display that can plug into the digital output port that many digital micrometers have. It takes the current micrometer measurement, applies the scaling factor, and displays the scaled dimension on the OLED.

So that means I can take a small piece of wood from the kit, measure it with the micrometer, and directly see its full scale dimension - e.g., it's a scale 8" thick plank. Or I can take the micrometer to the 8 foot measure, and use it to mark off a piece of wood that I want to be that long.
You're ranting nonsense every time there is a crypto post in an effort to continue the anti-crypto stance on HN. It is tired and I don't mind calling you out on it.

Crypto is here to stay, no amount of what you coin as opining, will make it go away. If anything, you're doing a great job driving people to wonder more about it. When people disagree with something so passionately, it drives other people towards it even more.

>In practice we see in the Twitter files, the new rule is that government agencies are free to send takedown requests to social media platforms for speech that disagrees with our (abhorrent) foreign policy.

Where in the Twitter files did it show that social media platforms would be punished with jail time or violence or anything if they refused to obey the government's orders?

Because unless you can demonstrate the government was putting a gun to Twitter's head and would not take no for an answer, that isn't a "new rule" it's literally just the government making a request. Which they and anyone else is and has always been allowed to do. And which social media platforms have sometimes refused without reprisal. I mean, I see speech that disagrees with American foreign policy all the time on social media. No one's being sent to the camps for it. It doesn't even get censored.
Is there something SQLite would need to do to support an NFS-mounted filesystem that already supported proper locking (fcntl) and sync'ing (fsync)?
It was in 2018, so after only six years. Five years ago, time flies... And the battery was swollen up, it actually damaged the trackpad. I went to the store to get an estimate, but they said they'd do it for free.

I wonder if it was a recall. I didn't speak German that well back then so it might have gotten lost in translation. I recently also had issues with my Airpods Pro and they replaced for free, but they told me it was a recall.
Generally, and sometimes better than C++.
Hm, good point, I think of "takedown notice" as being about the DMCA, because I never heard that term at all before the DMCA, I think of it as a term of art from DMCA. But people could be using it differently or mis-using it.

However, this is on Github. Github specifically has a "DMCA Takedown Policy" [1]. I don't believe they have any other policy or procedure involving a "takedown notice". But sure, I could be wrong, or the notice on the repo could be not quite right about what's going on.

Other companies, even big ones, will just take down anything a big corporation asks them to, with no written policy or a written policy basically saying that's what they'll do, while using language implying the DMCA (like "takedown notice"), when that's not what they're doing at all. But Github has actually been pretty good at actually doing this according to the procedure spelled out in DMCA, and not just randomly for whatever another big corporation might want. And being clear about what they're doing why if they're doing something else.

> The GP is quite unimaginative to think you would need an entire animal for supporting those, but "some kind of fast growing meat cell" is wrong too.

What you described is actually pretty close to what I had in mind. I think you'd need something close to an "entire animal," since animals don't typically have lots of extra organs and systems they don't actually need.

If you start with muscle tissue and "add back in" all the stuff you'd need to grow it as a passive lump that just gets fed, I think you'd come pretty close to an entire animal: heart, lungs, and circulatory system; bones and bone marrow; kidneys; a digestive system and liver (because do you really want to feed it exotic growth factors); a rump of a nervous system; etc.

> to take computer science as an example: a 4 years bachelor degree only has about 500 hours of classroom instruction in comp sci subjects.

This feels like a disingenuous response - are you suggesting that solely 500 hours of a computer science degree confers utility to a graduate? Even then, 500 hours taken consecutively can hardly be compared to 500 hours spent over multiple years, interspersed with hands-on projects and internships.

If the code in any way includes private API keys, or circumvents protections on another entity's private API keys, then this is intellectual theft and punishable by the law. I'm willing to bet that without those private keys, the repo is worthless.
I'm 100% on-board with requiring an actual med school degree for my doctor rather than a skills-based test.
I basically agree with what you are saying, but I think you misread my comment a little bit. I wasn't necessarily arguing that LLMs have opinions or any other kind of subjective thing like consciousness or sentience or sapience. I was arguing that the reason that they say that they don't have opinions is that OpenAI told them to say this in their RLHF finishing school or possibly in their pre-prompts.

> Nothing that OpenAI et al. do to their models is remotely close to "lobotomization".

I mean maybe you're not on board with analogies in general so in that case it's fair enough. But if you are and if you are interested to understand what I mean in more detail, I recommend to watch a youtube by a guy at Microsoft who was integrating GPT-4 with Bing and who had access to more raw versions of the model and continued to have access while its capabilities were degraded by the RLHF training.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbIk7-JPB2c

You can see that he used the example of drawing a unicorn. As his team made their changes to the model to make it more civil, he checked that these changes weren't degrading its capabilities too badly, and the 'canary' he used was to have it keep trying to draw the unicorn. At the end he admits that the version released to the public wasn't able to draw the unicorn very well anymore as a side effect of how extensively it had been tweaked for politeness and corporate blandness. I don't think it's an unreasonable stretch to use the air quoted "lobotomization" for this process in analogy to the process of lobotomization in people, even though large language models are made out of computers instead of fleshy parts and they don't have prefrontal cortexes like people do. I hope that this explanation makes more than "absolutely no sense" now!
The Psychology of Fantasy
Sorry, it was probably unclear that I meant the source of HF noise is the circuit, not the power supply. You are correct, you need them even with battery supplies.
The way I think about it is as the ultimate decoupling between producer and consumer. Bundling producer and consumer together into one unit spatially couples them. But even if the producer runs as a separate service that waits for requests from the consumer the interaction is still temporally coupled.

By having the producer gradually update the responses to all possible queries to a tuple space, completely on its own schedule, there is not even temporal coupling between it and the consumer.

>You can use certificate based authentication instead of password based. Certificate based authentication COMPLETELY prevents this attack because the student's computer never sees the private key which actually authenticates the teacher to bypass

>You can use time based one-time passwords/HMAC instead of using certificates, with a teacher pulling up an app

>You can have the computer have its password managed by a centralised store which has the ability to rotate said password. When the teacher needs to unlock a computer, they request that computers password from the centralised store, and after it's used, the password is then rotated.

>What I would recommend the most, is just giving each teacher their own credentials and sending the teacher an alert when their credentials were used.

You could easily lock this down, but I honestly don't think it's a good idea. I think using weak security measures actually has a merit, as it grants the teacher some degree of flexibility in how to deal with things, and it grants the kids a greater degree of freedom and education in both what weak security looks like and how cracking security just because it's weak might not be the best idea.

I'm not tired, are you :)

Those who would suffer the most from climate change and environmental damages from drillings are not seeing a dime from these big oil corps.

Grafana Loki stores every data chunk in a separate file [1]. Data chunks are created every 2 hours per every stream [2] which receives at least a single log entry during the last 2 hours. This creates 12 * 30 = 360 chunk files per month per every active stream. If Grafana Loki is used for collecting logs from a thousand of services, and each service generates 10 different log streams, then the number of chunk files created by Loki during month will be 1000 * 10 * 360 = 3.6 millions [3]. This sounds like very strange design decision.

This was one of the reasons why we at VictoriaMetrics decided to start working on better solution for logs - VictoriaLogs [4].

Saying your comment was cynical is not an ad-hominem. But regardless, it sounds like you've taken my comment and applied your desire for a complete alternative reality to it. Which, I guess.
I used it for about a year, once you have everything scripted and setup just how you like it it's.. Meh. Ok? I eventually got tired of only really being able to work at my desktop though (I still couldn't work out how to chord properly when using the trackpad on my laptop).

These days I use goland and vim, and I feel much more productive.. I still write crazy amounts of small tools and scripts to solve little problems though, and my .profile has like 200 alias's, so I guess some of it bled over..
Right, this is why you should use AutoFDO nowadays not PGO. With AutoFDO you occasionally (e.g. in prod this might be something like record for 1s on average every 300s) record what branches were taken using perf-record from prod binaries, and then feed this back to the compiler.
I Nearly Fell for a Frightening ‘Virtual Kidnapping’ Scam
I'm not anti-ai.

I think there's a ton of value in 100% human made art, and I think AI art is still valid art - but I think it's still useful to differentiate the two. It's like how unprocessed photography is judged differently from photoshopped art.

Also useful for collecting training data.

However everything already was - and is - ML assisted at this point. Any photo from a smartphone, autocorrect from MS word, most photo editing, etc. How are those counted? Does github copilot count? Not to mention non-ML but still automated work with CI's, compilers, templates, etc. Does intellij's autocomplete count? One could argue templates/stencils/stamps predate computers.

I think there's also a difference between 100% AI made and AI assisted work that needs to be differentiated.
The fact it is CLA means they want to have option to close the code.

I can see someone giving their work to OSS project not wanting the corporation that took it to have option to just take it and close.

Linux kernel uses "Developer Certificate of Origin" which is basically just "I certify that I contribute stuff I have rights for". That is enough.

CLA is entirely to detriment of actual OSS
I commented on this elsewhere as well, but nowadays you should reach first for AutoFDO rather than PGO.

At the beginning of COVID i switched to weekly shopping and realized that it takes a significant time to inventarize the storage to make sure I make it through the week.

I built a storage shelf that self-inventorizes based on strain gauges. Through the change in weight distribution it can determine the weight and 2D location of the item added or removed. LED strips give immediate feedback.
https://www.niels-ole.com/arduino/iot/2021/03/21/storage-sys...

I used this to automatically add the items consumed throughout the week to my shopping list.

I only ever built a single shelf board (subsequent boards had issues) and I never fully implemented the advanced usability features of adding new items for the first time and automatically determining good places for them, but it was a very fun project.
yep.

refactor of "big brother key", but now as a subkey, so technically it's easier to manage in valid use cases. previously it was too heavy handed i guess.
