Ok, you are free to choose between shit unhealthy job in factory A and shit unhealthy job in factory B. Choice is an illusion, you still have no freedom.

Say you also had the choice to pick a square of land, build a hut and grow your food on it, now that would at least grant you some degree of freedom, but since it isn't possible you are forced to work for one of these factories or starve. Relocate? Where? With which money? Just to become homeless somewhere else?

I don't know how else to call this if not some form of slavery. You are not threatened with violence, but try to strike and see what happens.
I think the easiest way to subvert a democracy is to deny or prevent access to education.

Windows honestly needs this. Problem is "admin access" isn't something that should be a simple button click because then every app requests it and then every user just hits OK because that's just the only way to use Windows. MacOS has it right where you have to reboot in to recovery mode to turn of SIP which is difficult enough that normal apps don't ask users to do this, but power users will have no problem.
Cloudflare are just selling a tool to solve a problem in the best way they can conjure.

All of this comes from there being no universal way to prove you are a human on the Internet. If somebody were to invent a physical device (think YubiKey) that atttested that your activity is human without it being usable to identify/track you, we might have a shot at solving this without CAPTCHAs.

The device would be issued to you as an individual and any signs of it being abused could be reported to deactivate it. I have no idea how such a device would work, but I'm sure it's possible. With machine learning becoming more powerful, this is going to be needed one day.

And before somebody makes the argument of "but that's centralised, big brother, blah blah whatever bullshit", let me remind you that every payment you make goes through either Mastercard or Visa.
Yes, it's still a very unlikely scenario but the TGA running low and debt ceiling brinkmanship at the same time banks are going under does make me think there's some nonzero chance of some insured depositors in some banks having to wait awhile for their funds. But yes, low probability at the moment.

I also made my own variable speed diaphragm water pump for our boat's water pressure. The VSD options on the market were notoriously unreliable, so I took one of the best non-VSD pumps with a pressure switch and drove it with a custom board + software. This also meant if my controller failed (which it never did) I could switch back to the original pressure switch.

Even with the default short aliases like gci there are only ~100 unique commands/commandlets aliased and 600 commandlets in a default install. Not to mention what happens when you start loading other commandlets. Trying to predicate your usage of PS on just using short commands is also going to fall short in documentation and searches. I recommend just getting used to the fact command names are long. <tab> is a good friend too.

I'd like more info as well and am actively seeking. So far I've started an AI company and it's looking like the business will focus on custom AI development for companies with the primary focus being ethical implementation of the AI. Creating new jobs and optimizing the current ones rather than outright replacing people with AI which could be comically disastrous anyway and rightfully so. People need to work and I don't necessarily mean just for money or to survive but because work is deeply ingrained into our very being whether we want to work or not. I'm not sure how much of a mark my company will make but I'm hoping that it helps push this tech into a better direction than a tech dystopia ran by either corrupt governments, corrupt corporations, or (most likely) a little of both.

Little appreciated facts that IMHO were the fundamental drivers

a) CEO of SVB was on the Board of Govs of SF Fed Reserve, the entity that is supposed to supervise and regulate banks
b) He had earlier lobbied Congress to relax stress test requirements so the SVB would be in the exempt group.

So when you have a bank regulator (SF Fed board member) lobbying Congress to deregulate his own bank (so much to unpack here) does the rest really matter? It would only be a matter of time before the proverbial shtuff hit the fan.

I think it's pretty common that ingroups can say whatever they'd like. Outgroups saying the same thing, however, takes on any entirely different color.

Anyways, 4chan was seminal to the internet as you know it. The Portal developers debuted Narbacular Drop, it was foundational to early streaming e.g. "let's plays" which are echoed by several major platforms to this day (Justin.tv) it isn't verifiable by any means but I recall someone either posing as the YouTube developers, or the actual developers themselves promoting the earliest iterations of YouTube - early enough that I was wholly skeptical of the viability of the platform. I'm reasonably sure that Stranger Things was written by a creepyposter, or ripped off by the writing crew. A lot of the meme syndromes were pioneered there or at least allowed to proliferate. It's frankly ridiculous and highly biased to color it in broad strokes.
Most states in this the country has less than 50% gas stove usage. This would not be an issue in most states. CA, NY, NJ can catch up to the rest of us.

I don’t think that’s true.

Eg, as a recent example, we saw major media institutions subverted to run propaganda cover for an organized terrorist campaign which saw over a billion dollars in arson attacks across dozens of major cities — and dozens of murders, including Antonio Mays Jr and David Dorn.

I see the role of social media as accelerating the subversion of traditional institutions, eg media or academia.

100% and I never thought of that before but I can see how you'd get that impression from tutorials.

The VSCode powershell extensions will also give you suggestion squigglies under all of your aliases in a saved script if they're not long-form, but I usually mix and match based on pragmatism.

My use of alias vs long-form usually comes down to two sort of situations:

* Ad-hoc at the shell: all aliases all the time (and make my own if I need to. welcome to my godless wasteland, population: me)
* Shared scripts: Just like any code, do what's idiomatic for the team. Usually it's largely aliases with some long-form

In practice I'd say the formatting consistency situation on teams isn't nearly as bad as SQL but obviously not as good as Go.

For reference, I'm also a huge APL fan, so hit me with arcane symbols in my free-time all day long, but definitely pragmatic balance at work.

I also don't even think of them as acronyms personally. The acronym just sort of means the semantic action in my brain at this point, but I think that's mostly a fluency thing, and can't really speak to it being hurtful/helpful since I'm so removed from when I first started learning it

Anyway, why the big fuss? US has meddled in the affairs of other countries via media/grants/other types of funding, public and covert, for over a century by now. Why being so sour because some countries influence you back?

If it is the citizens who do the voting, your compatriots, and you should respect their choice. Or you think they are too stupid and too easily influenced by misinformation, that they are too naive to make a rational choice? How about stripping the voting rights from such people? They clearly need to be steered by more competent leaders!
interesting observations, my guess is ownership implies the sense of regularity and therefore less pressure on the individual to attend. Backing out last minute means less if theyre heading out to the cottage as usual anyway, youre just a tagalong after all.

Different regulatory regimes. But it helped make their takeover possible.

In Credit Suisse’s case, specifically, it is difficult to see an alternate endgame. The regulations worked to ease the unwinding. And Switzerland’s lack of receivership showed.

It's true that ChatGPT is not designed for counting and struggles with it in general.

But my point was that ChatGPT, like any tokenized LLM, doesn't even have the concept of letters. The prompt "how many e's in this sentence" is rendered as the tokens [4919, 867, 304, 338, 287, 428, 6827]. There just isn't a pathway for it to consider the letters that make up those tokens.

I'm a little surprised it did that well on your prompt, which is rendered as [10919, 2456, 886, 287, 556, 72]. The interesting thing here is that 556 = " ag" (with leading space) and 72 = "i". So I'm not sure how got to those words. "Wagagi" is tokens [54, 363, 18013], so somehow it is seeing that token 18013 is what you get when you combine 556 and 72? That seems really weird.

I'd love clarification from someone deeper into LLMs and tokenization.

Isn't it an inherent problem with phones that if they are left on charge forever that their battery will explode? I've had test devices that I left connected for months together and inevitably the battery has exploded on every single one of them.

Perhaps, it can be hooked up to a smart plug and charged up whenever battery goes down below a certain percentage and shut it off when it's full.
The point is not about being easy to remember (powershell commands and their args can be autocompleted with tab so memorizing them isn't really important). It's about powershell being the object manipulation environment instead of a 3rd party tool like jq. This makes it easier to do stuff with your data with a .Net powered runtime rather than having to manipulate strings using tools with their own built in languages
How does SQLite compare to newer in-process db's like DuckDB ?
Powershell, an inferior shell to Bash and an inferior scripting language to Python. But probably quite useful for administering corporate windows instances.
Also, you cannot use WAL mode as all processes cannot see the shared memory.

Below are well-known limitations of WAL mode.

https://www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol15/p3535-gaffney.pdf

“To accelerate searching the WAL, SQLite creates a WAL index in shared memory. This improves the performance of read transactions, but the use of shared memory requires that all readers must be on the same machine [and OS instance]. Thus, WAL mode does not work on a network filesystem.”

“It is not possible to change the page size after entering WAL mode.”

“In addition, WAL mode comes with the added complexity of checkpoint operations and additional files to store the WAL and the WAL index.”

https://www.sqlite.org/lang_attach.html

“SQLite does not guarantee ACID consistency with ATTACH DATABASE in WAL mode. “Transactions involving multiple attached databases are atomic, assuming that the main database is not ":memory:" and the journal_mode is not WAL. If the main database is ":memory:" or if the journal_mode is WAL, then transactions continue to be atomic within each individual database file. But if the host computer crashes in the middle of a COMMIT where two or more database files are updated, some of those files might get the changes where others might not.”

And for the historical explanation for why these filenames are special even with an extension, see https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20031022-00/?p=42...

"Suppose you wanted the listing file to go straight to the printer. [...] So you typed “PRN” as the filename. Now, the assembler doesn’t know about these magic filenames. So the assembler will try to create the file “PRN.LST” and then start writing to it. Little does the assembler realize that the output is actually going to the printer."

Windows path handling is full of special cases and subtle gotchas. See https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2016/02/the-definitiv... for a very detailed list.
At least one subtle difference, is a bare scope block like TFA has, will print out everything in it instead of the output you would expect, where as Bash behaves more like Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock {}.

I am amazed when self-proclaimed do-gooders hear about some poor person in India or Africa who works long hours for just a few dollars per day; and puts all their effort into eliminating that job to 'help' that individual.

Update: The problem has been resolved. I can no longer reproduce the issue. I'm not sure if there was a fix on CloudFlare's side or if it was because I cleared cookies and cache and restarted my browser after resetting general.useragent.override.

If it was the latter, I'm sorry to CloudFlare as this was user error.

However, I do think the two meta points still stand:

1. Better diagnostics: perhaps a FAQ page that lists common issues such as an overridden general.useragent.override, etc. (obviously without giving anything away to bad people, but I'm sure certain things such as this can be pointed out)

2. Better responsiveness in the community forum particularly to this category of errors which blocks public internet activity.

Yeah, that's possible now. You don't actually need a GPU to run inference against some of the smaller language models - I've heard reports of them running on a RaspberryPi.

Perhaps it was a bad choice of words in this specific place where you lumped in Mastodon with the Fediverse, but this, as it reads, suggests that with the failure of Mastodon we'll also see the loss of the ideals of the Fediverse:

Also, you made some broad generalizations which I don't see evidence to support:
