There are very few ailments for which complete bed rest is a good idea. Unless the patient is in an ICU or something it is almost always beneficial to get up and move around as much as possible. This prevents muscle atrophy and helps keep circulatory, lymphatic, and digestive systems working normally.

In VTOL VR you can reposition the stick and even swap it to center stick. I usually keep it sidestick and rest it on my leg. The throttle is still a problem but you don't usually have to hold onto it all the time. And the collective in the AH-94 is no worse than a real helicopter

I was hoping someone would bring up VTOL VR though because it has the best buttons I've used in any VR game so far. Just touching a button is too imprecise; laser pointers can be awkward. Holding your hand over the button, getting a slight vibration to let you know you're in the connect interaction zone, the clicking the trigger is the best option in most circumstances

Well my point was, if German police is making international requests to check out a vpn provider based on an ip from 2 years ago, probably they're running out of ideas at that point, possibly even aware that the data is no longer there, and just responding to political pressure to "do something".

Mullvad even pointed out that Swedish police are well aware at this point that there's no useful information for them there. That's why I think probably it's just to appease some politican or DA somewhere, or some other type of strange bureaucratic machination.
> It's not just about updates through regular channels but about evil maid attacks with signed malicious firmware.

Yes, evil maid attacks are the primary way for targeted attacks using malicious firmware.

So this is something that maybe the TCG should tackle. It should be possible (maybe it is?) to require that the host meet some policy before the firmware update can run -- this would prevent unauthenticated evil maid attacks.

Not to be in a shouting match, but people who cannot relax can intensify the mood of any room. No relaxed person would be comfortable in one. And while I have noticed the positives of a happy hour, I am saddened to see them in opposite moods. It is unreal.

I might be reading the code wrong but it looks like it crawls the schema making a generation per primitive type. While that’s a clever way to ensure valid JSON, I don’t know if I’d go as far as to describe it as efficient.

Saying that if the model is unable to generate JSON due to its training/fine tuning, this is indeed a clever solution!

You don't need to read the "legends", because their lives and writings exist and are still extant.

You can go and read the Federalist Papers, the notes and minutes of the various conventions, the letters, articles, and books that they've written. Did George Washington chop down a cherry tree? Probably not. Did he thwart a coup attempt? Yes, he most certainly did.

Same with the other guys.

All that stupidity aside, how are AirTags actually supposed to help, even if we all had an iPhone and were happy to live under apple's benevolent rule? Most cars have a gps tracker now anyway. Mine was stolen last year, during the night. I was told it would have been put into a shipping container within an hour, where it wouldn't be accessible to radio waves anyway.

Maybe they work for casual joyriding. At least where I am, most car theft is organized crime shipping them overseas. Gimmicks like airtags will do nothing.
Meta released a near photorealistic avatar demo recently. So they’re definitely progressing still.

Only a very small percentage of humans on earth will get this opportunity. Others (most- by number) will be wiped out or thrown out of their life so drastically, they will just want to survive.

A lot of jobs providing people with middle class incomes will be wiped out. The middle class will drastically shrink. That is the scenario that is the most likely.
Thanks, but you may have misunderstood the definition I have for defining odd numbers, because that corresponds equally to the natural numbers as well.

So there is no better parity rule as you say, it is entirely arbitrary. It's not extending the same pattern, it's seeing that there are two ways of extending it and picking one arbitrarily that happens to prioritize even. When you could have just as easily prioritized odd.

So that's not an argument for why infinity is even, or should be. It's just a decree, an arbitrary labeling, the flip of a coin.

Interoperability can also be achieved with small adapters written for the prompting style of the particular model being interfaced with, I'd be surprised if like LangChain or AutoGPT don't already do something like this in their systems.

I'm currently building something that leverages an ensemble of different LLMs depending on the difficulty of a task and ran into this issue.

Dolly V2 takes "###Instruction: <your stuff> ###Response" as the structure fed to the model where as GPT3.5 Turbo wasn't trained to treat that particular structure as important.

The nice thing is that GPT3.5 Turbo will just roll with the prompt structure Dolly uses but that only works in very large LLMs, I'd imagine I wouldn't get away with it in other 12BN parameter models.

But realistically this could look like taking the "INSTRUCTION MEMORY EXAMPLE [COMPLETION]" schema represented in a library and each adapter would transform it into

"MEMORY EXAMPLE INSTRUCTION [COMPLETION]" schema or whatever is needed by the different model.

Tile works the same way but just with bluetooth. Any phone with a tile app on it is snitching on every tag it sees. Apple of course wins here because it's just every damn iphone, not just the ones that have an app installed.

As someone who has used both the airtag is just plain better when it comes to locating it, the uwb stuff is awesome. But the tile tags have some upsides as well. I love the button on the tile that you can use to ring your phone, helps solve ye olde.. i have my keys, where's my phone problem.
My latest annoyance with the Chrome URL bar is when certain things autofill (it might be bookmarks, but I think I see it in other frequently-visited addressed too), instead of it populating with the full URL so I can edit it, it just pops up as a piece of text to the right of where I'm typing, so I can see the URL that will fill if I hit enter but I can't edit it. It just started doing this a few months ago maybe?

The reason the Julian day number is important is because Joseph Justus Scaliger went to enormous effort to create a consistent chronology of ancient and mediaeval history from records that mostly used regnal years. Sometimes they might use other calendars, or refer to the 19 year metonic cycle (determining the date of easter) or the day of the week (a 28 year cycle) or the year in the indiction cycle (a 15 year tax period in the eastern roman / byzantine empire). His chronology covered several non-european cultures as well as graeco-roman history. It is neat that astronomers are using a modernized version of his dating system, so ancient records can be more easily matched to modern observations.
That is my point though. It's up to the EU to block sites they don't feel are compliant with the laws they have passed, which they don't have control over.

What is the point in claiming a law applies if they can't enforce it?

Would it not make much more sense for the GDPR to have a provision blocking sites they can't control, or to allow for treaties between countries? It may allow both of those things already, in which case, it's even more perplexing to try and claim global jurisdiction as they do.

And I don't need a cookie banner. The one I have is a subverion to make a point.

Just to take a different perspective for anyone reading this, your database is more than _just_ your persistence layer. It can be where rules about the business live. Rather than rely on 12 different applications or code in 27 different files to maintain the proper rules, you can enforce those rules right where the data lives, guaranteeing that no matter what moron is writing code, the data will be pristine because the database has checked it before putting it in.

Edit: Just to be clear, I'm not saying it's the right thing to do, at least not in every case. But it's an option; one that's different from the parent's perspective anyhow.

Yes.

Large queries, many tables, many FKs will make it easier to see why these conventions exist. Patterns like "users JOIN things USING (user_id) JOIN stuff USING (user_id, thing_id) ...".
Of those, user is the only one that must be quoted in postgresql. It doesn't show up that way in psql through, so it's a bit inconsistent.

test=# create table test (
id serial,
"user" text,
date text,
timestamp text,
name text,
version text);
CREATE TABLE

Then again, lots of things are actually valid column identifiers, if they're quoted.

test=# alter table test add column "select" text;
ALTER TABLE
test=# alter table test add column "*" text;
ALTER TABLE
test=# alter table test add column "from" text;
ALTER TABLE
test=# select "select", "*", "from" from test;
select | * | from

There is a difference between saying a victim, rather than the perpetrator, is to blame for the abuse (actual victim blaming) and saying the victim had the power to avoid it.

If I go to a dangerous part of town and get mugged, it's perfectly reasonable to ask how I could have avoided being mugged. That does not mean I am to blame, or that the mugger should not be arrested.

> you won't always have a calculator at hand.

I do though. I still blow minds when I put my iPhone calculator in scientific mode. Math education is important for many reasons. But teaching it as a practical survival skill using no tools does a disservice to the student. Either it is useful as a problem solving exercise or it is a practical skill that should take advantage of tools. "Just memorize this stuff" isn't useful because it backfires into hating learning. Nothing about math makes it ideal for memorization and none of my math teachers spent any time on study skills.
This seems like a terrible future
The stories of the founding fathers have been heavily mythologized. Yes, we can refer back to the original sources, but we also have two centuries of historiography using those original sources to spin a variety of narratives. To the point where you can use their actions to tell basically any story you want.

An example of this is "Hamilton." The musical and the book that inspired it tell a version of events different enough to what other sources say that it may as well be complete fiction.

> A dTPM uses an unencrypted protocol to communicate with the CPU

While that is strictly speaking true, the TPM command set allows you to set up an encrypted session to the TPM using an ECDH or RSA key for key exchange that authenticates the TPM.

The problem is that the BMCs and BIOSes out there don't record a public key for a primary key on the TPM and then don't bother using encrypted sessions (not even opportunistically getting that public key from the TPM, which would defeat passive attacks).

That's a software problem, not a TPM problem!

I know that TPM 2.0 is a huge topic, so it's quite forgivable that people don't know these things. I've written a tutorial that might help: https://github.com/tpm2dev/tpm.dev.tutorials/tree/master/Int...

But he said that he used credit cards and never missed a payment. That should count, right ?

I can relate, as I came in US from Europe. I arrived, opened a bank account in a big bank, I could only get a debit card, because I had not credit history.
After few months I could get a credit card, but with a $500.00 limit! I needed a car, so I bought one cash.

When came the time to buy a home, I was asked to open more credit cards (one was not sufficient) and come back in a year or so later, to see how my score would improve.

They fired Brendan Eich, who invented JS, led Netscape past IE, and then headed Mozilla. Who, when fired, started Brave and turned it into a bigger system than FF (including the only relatively new free search engine with its own index), from scratch, in a world already dominated by Chrome, and Safari.

I know, I know, Eich donated personal money to some cause that some people on the internet didn't like. But from a business perspective, it was the stupidest thing they could have done, and is the point at which FF went from growth to (fast) loss.

(And the cause itself was not justified, especially considering it was a private donation, it was a legal org (not like KK or whatever), and he apologized afterwards. Even if it was a mistake, that should not have been justification for firing him.)

I had someone steal my keys with an airtag on them in Seattle. Cops said they were going to send someone after making me file a police report, screenshots of Find My, etc. Call them an hour later, "oh yeah, no officers responded, we are too busy, good luck!" and this was on a slow-ass sunday around Greenlake. Recovered the keys myself. Good thing they have a 355M budget.

That's it. I'm done.

Been a Hacker News user since this launched, but have been feeling increasingly like I'm not part of this culture and don't want to be part of this culture anymore. So I'm out.

It's sad and kind of tragic to see what was once a thriving, diverse community that embraced all types of marginalized people (nerds, engineers, geeks, and so on) become a cesspool of bigotry and hate speech.

And the real tragedy, of course, is that Hacker News is just a microcosm of the developer culture -- which has become disgusting and hateful.

I hope those of you who are not bigots manage to fix this place. I hope the developer culture becomes healthier and less toxic. But I'm not going to be around to help or see it. Y'all are too exhausting and depressing.

With that definition meditation would be something of an opposite.

Consciousness is just self awareness. It requires time (where it evolves in), memory (where it stores itself), cognition (so it makes sense out of this stuff) and loop (access to it's recent memory where it's plotting itself in time).

It doesn't require hands or legs, motor skills, sense of touch, eyes, ears, ability to speak or hear etc. - there are people without those and they are conscious.

Act is an effect of consciousness, not consciousness itself.
