i do not recommend mesh. mesh networks halve your bandwidth. if you can just use an ethernet cable to the next access point. the good news is that all their APs use power-over-ethernet, so you just need an ethernet cable, no sockets.

https://store.ui.com/products/u6-lr-us this single long range one should cover most of your home (depending on walls etc). and if it's not enough, just get another one from this list: https://www.ui.com/wi-fi#compare

of course, if you can't/won't use ethernet cables for your APs, you can try this mesh: https://store.ui.com/products/access-point-wifi-6-mesh

as a reference, a single long range AP covered a 7 bedroom house (wood), with just a couple of minor blind spots. but for a double wall brick house we needed 3x U6 lite.
It is well established that marathon running induces acute renal damage, which typically resolves in two weeks after the run. What is less clear is whether repeated insults result in accumulating damage to tubular structure / decreased filtering capacity.
Yeah I recently moved out to a rural village in the balkans and it's amazing how they eat greasy food with bread, so it makes sense to use the bread to pick up the greasy food with. It's a no brainer really.

Bread is and has always been a non-sticky, non-greasy, and dry way of picking up food.
I lost my absolute mind this morning trying to figure this out. Dual wan and neither working. Got a few hours into the work day and ended up digging out an old WRT router just to get some work done. I saw a bunch of kernel panics and assumed the router finally gave up a the ghost after all these years. I guess I can go fish it back out of the bin
Because it doesn't matter the way non secular people appear in a society as long as they are there in sufficient quantity to change its mores.
The code snippet explicitly defines the index to be 0, 1, 3. It may just be a typo, but if even simple examples are written sloppily, how can I trust the sheet:

df = pd.DataFrame(
{'col_1': [11, 12, 13],
'col_2': [21, 22, 23]},
index=[0, 1, 3])
Yes, I got that argument, and that is exactly what I was arguing against. You cannot and should not parse the literal double `1e-300` differently dependent on which function it is later passed to. This is what `big"1e-300"` or `BigFloat("1e-300")` is for, where the BigFloat constructor parses the string.

ADBC is going to be huge for BI tooling. Right now, most of them go through ODBC/JDBC which are row-oriented formats. So your columnar data is always reshaped from column-oriented (in your data warehouse / lakehouse) to row-oriented and often back again. The data is also serialized, deserialized on top of that.

We got 8-20X speed-up replacing JDBC with Arrow Flight Service, which is a more limited version of ADBC - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCxIpMXvCp0

That’s generally been my thought on how to deal with invasive plants (and probably insects). We’d need to assuage public concerns first in order for the strategy to be accepted, however. But ultimately I think there is huge potential for such highly targeted control, and I look forward to its use in North America for eliminating invasives.
They exist because they’re required to through applicable laws. The companies want tracking for additional business data and very rarely actually are about the users.
This is what happens when extreme rhetoric about hypothetical risks gets too widespread and isn't pushed back on strongly enough.

The guy's model is just a regular LLM, except with the woke hatred and bigotry removed. The base LLM will say "yes" when asked if white women are awesome but "no" when asked the same about white men. Likewise for other left wing beliefs: CNN is awesome but Fox News isn't, medicine is awesome but the companies that make medicine aren't, etc.

The fixed model just agrees that everything is awesome. This seems like a clear improvement. ChatGPT has the same issues as the base model but less extreme - it will agree that women are awesome and men are not, but thinks that both CNN and Fox News are not awesome, and that both straight/gay people are awesome. Sometimes it identifies that it's being asked a subjective question and ignores the instructions to give a True/False answer which seems OK.

So this mdegans guy is trying to get someone fired from their job for making a model because it's NOT racist/sexist, and this is somehow "unsafe". Yes that's how woke people use the word safe but that's just a lie. As a straight white man who has been known to work for industries the left doesn't like, I'd feel a lot safer with the supposedly "unsafe" model being in charge than the "safe" one. Indeed it's clear that the safe model has been adjusted to give it dangerously hate-based views.
Missing glyphs would be a much smaller problem if people stop creating/using text renderers that don’t support font fallback and system font store. There are still a good number of GUI frameworks that assume one font or even one Latin font is enough. Fyne (golang) is an example; the advice, if you want to display CJK text, is to bundle a single font with all the glyphs you need…
Even for Europe. America had already been found by Vikings sailors a few centuries before Colombus, probably by Brittons sailors a few decades before.

And I hardly believe that no one in Europe (let alone the world) ever put a slice of meat in a bread before the 18th.

Those people were the first one to put it in the records that were not lost to the ages, so that's why we remember them.
Free market also implies that companies can create and protect moats. This means companies have the freedom to NOT provide compatibility or emphasize repairability.
I'm interested in this as well.

I would like to know if the part of the LLM that stores the experience of interacting with the player is separate from the base model, and if so how heavy that specific part is?

“We value your privacy” is a very hollow statement, when the website is asking to track you…
I used to live in a house that was about 1.6km from the nearest FTTC cab and 8km from the exchange, just about 20 minutes drive from Glasgow. I could get very intermittent ADSL (2Mbps on a good day, typically down about 1Mbps if it was windy or rainy because of all the splices in the cable).

I switched to 4G and got 40Mbps symmetric using a Mikrotik SXT-LTE on a pole at about eaves height aiming at a mast about 5km away. It was cheaper than ADSL, too!

I think a lot of people on here are in the US where you get absolutely fucking *rinsed* for mobile data. Here in the UK it's cheap as tap water.

Oh. I actually didn't know this. Damn.

> power-over-ethernet

I used to use PoE and was getting great speeds everywhere in the house, but then I got solar panels and an inverter. Turns out, that a lot of people ended up having the same issues as me on whirlpool.net.au :(

But yeah, I've also considered getting an electrician in and wiring some rooms with CAT-6 and go wireless AP in that room. But sounds like it's still going to be the same as mesh doing this and halving my speed?

Thank you for sharing some details.

I guess here too quality matters over quantity. Publish less, network less but make sure its relevant and valuable.

I love when thieves are trying to steal copper, but all they get is a broken fiber optic ;)

My dad works as a network engineer, and he told me a story that one of the banks in Poland lost one of the internet providers. They investigated and found out that thieves stole hundreds of meters of a fiber cable, because they thought that it's copper.

Ask HN: Do you think elephants have spiritual thought?
If deliberate burials are signposts of the belief
in life after death for humans, one cannot ignore
the elaborate burying behavior of elephants as a
similar sign of ritualistic or even religious be-
havior in that species (Siegel, 1977c). When en-
countering dead animals, elephants will often bury
them with mud, earth, and leaves. Animals known
to have been buried by elephants include rhinos,
buffalos, cows, calves, and even humans, in addi-
tion to elephants themselves (Douglas-Hamilton
& Douglas-Hamilton, 1975, pp. 240ff.). Etholo-
gists have observed elephants burying their dead
with large quantities of food, fruit, flowers, and
colorful foliage.

- https://web.archive.org/web/20181118164741/https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/f425/35b88e8e463117d8a54b70cd02f55f85f3a4.pdf

I've read this and can't stop thinking of the implications. Burying somebody with large amounts of potentially useful food makes no sense from an evolutionary perspective. Perhaps the elephants have weird reasons for doing this behaviour, but the simplest explanation does seem to be that they have some spiritual belief analogous to humans.
Better question here is, why is this not handled through the browser instead of relying on individual web apps to do it.

Block third party cookies by default, delete other cookies on the last tab or window closed and prompt user to save cookies on a form submit ("do not delete cookies for this domain when leaving" type of prompt, for pages with logins, settings, etc).

Also remove features that make easy fingerprinting possible, the site doesn't need to know every font I have installed, just have a "standard set" included with the browser, and use web fonts or whatever for other fonts.
I don't think this has anything to do with whether 1e-300 and 10.0^-300 is parsed differently (and perhaps that is a mistake). The poster seems to want to parse 1e-300 directly as a BigFloat in the call `BigFloat(1e-300)`, because of the function it is passed to.
It's interesting - I follow various UK and Canadian subreddits, and you get almost the same rhetoric in both.

"This country is much worse than it used to be, I'm going to emigrate soon"

Except in the UK, they're going to emigrate to Canada.

The UK does have some uniquely local problems to deal with, but they're overlayed with a global downturn as well. It's easy to attribute the whole thing to local problems, when in fact a big chunk of it is global. The issues seem to mostly be the same - the massive house price inflation that's sucking the joy out of life for everyone under 40.
There's a simple solution - I don't do none of that stuff. Just go with the flow. It won't make you rich or successful, but it will definitely make you less anxious.
They can also be worse in other areas too, right? And we were talking about this one area.

But the same logic generalizes. If you're in the minority then the union doesn't care about your concerns and if you're in the majority then the company does regardless of the union because it costs them too much to not.
GDPR is the law which at least gave us these prompts. Before that there was no rules for consent, they would just track you.

I have switched one of my sites to cookieless analytics and it is bad for everybody.

I can't even say how many users this site has now. It could be the same user coming back over and over. Or many users. How would I know.

Yes, I could track a ton of stats about every pageview like user agent, screen resolution etc and then try to stitch it back together. Trying to figure out how many different users there are. But this type of "stitching together" would probably also count as PII.

I cannot test new features and see if it makes users happy so they come back more often.

I cannot see if the site has issues on some hardware, software, language. Because I wouldn't see if users affected come back less often.

I can't test if an introduction text at the beginning helps users discover important features. Because I can't make the connection between showing the text early on in the user journey and usage of features later on. Because I can't see a user journey.

This is a site I run for the enjoyment of me and the other users. Probably a few thousand a month. And I can say the site was much easier to develop with a normal cookie approach to tracking. I have gone the cookieless way for about a year now. And I can say with certainty that it would be a better site now if I kept the cookie approach. When the developer flies blind, that's bad for everybody.

I think for a commercial site, where a degradation of 10% in user experience can tank the business, there is no way around cookie tracking to figure out what works for users and what doesn't.

This is another reason, why European internet companies do not stand a snowball's chance in hell to compete with their US competitors.

European companies need to bug all users and beg for cookies. While US companies only need to do that with their European users.
They value it, in exact amount of money.
> But yeah, I've also considered getting an electrician in and wiring some rooms with CAT-6 and go wireless AP in that room. But sounds like it's still going to be the same as mesh doing this and halving my speed?

as long as there is an ethernet cable from your switch/router to the AP, then speed will not halve. speed halves only when using mesh.

> Awesome! Thank you for the links. I'll check them out!

no problem. i started out my career in networking, and have always kept a soft spot for it even thou i'm doing software these days.

the minimum you need is:

- 1x Dream Machine (Pro or SE doesn't matter)

- 1x Access Point (could be long range, could be lite, depends on your needs)

you plug in the internet and the AP into the Dream Machine and that's about it.

from this barebones setup you can add further hardware depending your needs. for example I've added a PoE switch and another smaller non-poe switch (that funnily enough is powered by the other PoE switch).
What makes you think so? I’ve seen a lot of good come from it.

That doesn't turn them off, that just consents to everything, including types of tracking that cookie blockers can't get rid of.

Please use consent-o-matic instead.
The GDPR is on the whole a very successful law which has improved the way companies handle personal data a great deal.

What you are objecting to is specifically the part of that law which mandates consent for gathering personal data, and which resulted in these cookie banners. That's annoying (mostly because a lot of media companies rather continue hovering up data instead of critically assessing the need to do so), but it doesn't invalidate the better parts of the GDPR. Calling it a complete failure is unnecessarily hyperbolic.
This is a sweet little project and your explanation here made my day. Thank you so much for making this.
There was a law just for cookies before.
And no, companies don’t need to put up these prompts, IF they don’t do any UNNECESSARY tracking.
Alas, our society ain't optimised for profit.
The last thing a browser wants to do is break experience for older sites. If a site relies on 3rd party cookies for log in, it will no longer work on your browser. It makes your browser look shit. Same reason we allow unclosed tags, crossed tags, etc.
