Went to a restaurant in BWI and saw this Q-code, tried it using iPhone Safari.

Asked for hard menu, they said "we don't have them any more". Later learned that people toss these hard menu into the trash when confronted with Q-code offer.

Sounds like an active protests going on in form of a Denial-of-Service (via deprivation of hard menus).
I originally thought I'd make it open to submissions, but I've since decided it's much more fun as a hobby project if it's just museums I've been to myself.

Blu-ray drives are in Playstations and Xboxen; if those drives can be cannibalized and used in a computer there will be millions available in the used market. Or you could jailbreak a console and install Linux just to use the drive.
I welcome criticism of my work, as long as it is valid and constructive criticism. Like "have you considered naming this X" or "have you considered this edge case? Think about doing this" is constructive and welcome so I can improve my work.

Unconstructive stuff that is almost meaningless and without content like "this is code smell" or "should refactor this" etc. is not, and I will not appreciate that kind of criticism.

>If we stop CO2 production (will happen thanks to entrepreneurship and some incentives)

Also unlikely because we don't have mass production ready alternatives for things like concrete

On top of that,CO2 isn't the problem but the rising temperature it triggers.
Melting ice caps, changing sea and air currents have massive impacts. If rivers dry out and droughts happen CO2 doesn't help growing plants like wheat, corn and rice. Plants need water and soil too.

I like to think of an LLM as a literal human. Not sure if it's the best analogy.

Fine tuning = Adding years of experience, in a set environment. e.g. Raise them in a home that only speaks in old english, learn pig latin, send them to a bootcamp.

Embedding = Giving them a book to reference information.

Just like a human, memory might fade a bit through the years but old habits die hard. You might not perfectly recollect what you learned years ago, but you still get the general idea, and if you took a class on the referenced book you'll be better at relaying information from it.

Edit: Asked ChatGPT to create the analogy.

A language model is like an intelligent person.

- Pre-training is their broad education and general knowledge.

- Fine-tuning is their years of specialized experience in a specific field.

- Embedding is like giving them a comprehensive book on a particular subject.

Just as a person gains knowledge, expertise, and specialized resources, the language model develops its understanding and performance through pre-training, fine-tuning, and embedding.
Eventually they will figure out things like properly gapped body panels and not removing hardware functionality at servicings!

> An exclusive archive of formerly classified U.S. military documents — assembled from the files of a secret Pentagon task force that investigated war crimes during the 1970s, inspector generals’ inquiries buried amid thousands of pages of unrelated documents, and other materials discovered during hundreds of hours of research at the U.S. National Archives — offers previously unpublished, unreported, and underappreciated evidence of civilian deaths that were kept secret during the war and remain almost entirely unknown to the American people.

I take the point of your examples as written in the post, but I think both of those are a bad comparison to the Reddit Premium subscriber table being discussed, because:

- We’re already using a database, so there’s very minimal added complexity

- This is an extremely hot table getting read millions of times a day

- The scale of the data isn’t well-bounded

- Usage patterns of the table are liable to change over time

I did a display for the NAS museum in Washington some years ago, about the North Atlantic Conveyor and how Arctic ice melt could redirect it for years, decades. Leaving Britain and Western Europe in a cold snap that could have snow in July for a generation.

See, global warming is like the power failing in your kitchen. The freezer will defrost, leaving the kitchen colder for a time. Until the ice is gone; then it will be hot everywhere forever.

Weather isn't as simple as "Global warming can't be right, because it's cooler at my house!" It's a vast globe-spanning system that runs from the stratosphere to the deepest ocean. And it's all feeling the effects and changing.

Bearings seizing up is the example I usually hear.
Unless said legislation/determination only applies to electric cars, they'll have to give manual ICE vehicles a look-at as well; my TDI for instance can engine brake so well that it behaves very similarly to regenerative braking, and the service brakes get used only where absolutely necessary. Transport trucks with exhaust or Jake brakes and a light(er) loads can get often get away with similar-to-EV single-pedal driving regardless of whether the transmission is automated or not.

This might be a hot take, but if you're actually paying attention to driving it's not exactly difficult to see a vehicle decelerating in front of you, brake lights or not.
I used multi_index a lot in the past.
However, since I also frequently use sqlite, I have decided to exclusively use SQLite for multi_index in memory.
If there is a problem, temporarily using sqlite as a file makes it a lot easier to track the issue. When multi_index patterns become too complex, it's natural to wrap them in a unit test specifically designed for sqlite (multi_index).
Given that a significant number of packages in npm won't work without Node compatibility, I'm not sure the distinction makes much of a difference.

I am not aware of any large-scale study, but poor HDD reliability in cold storage corresponds to my experience too.

I have archived data (almost a couple hundred TB in double copies) on more than 60 HDDs, about half from WD and half from Seagate, from several HDD generations, i.e. with capacities of 2 TB, 3 TB, 4 TB, 6 TB and 8 TB, most being from the 4 up to 8 TB generations. All HDDs were more expensive WD and Seagate models (i.e. with longer warranty times), not their cheapest consumer HDDs.

All files were checksummed for error detection. When the HDD content was transferred to tapes after some 3 to 6 years since the initial archival, almost all HDDs had a few errors, which sometimes were not reported by the drives even when they were detected by the file checksums.

Only the fact that all files were stored on at least 2 HDDs has prevented data loss, because even when both HDDs had errors they were in different locations.
I was in the same boat as you

>Have you ever considered that alone knowing who visits which website when is privacy related information?

I get this a lot. To be clear, I'm not against encryption. I am against only allowing connections to sites which are encrypted using a third party incorporated entity's tools. HTTP+HTTPS is definitely the way to go so that people can chose the HTTPS endpoint if they want, but still access the site if that fails for technical (lack of maintaince when acme2 came around and acme1 dropped, etc, etc) or malicious reasons. The problem is that HTTP/3 only allows the one mode.

> But this is nothing new coming with QUIC!

Correct. But HTTP/3 on QUIC does make it much, much more of a problem because only 0.000001% of worldwide users are going to be passing --ignore-certificate-errors-spki-list=${CERT_HASH} to chrome after their browser first prevents the link from working.

>An unmaintained website will go away sooner or later anyway. You need at least to pay bills to keep it up. At least…

I know too many late 90s/early 2000s websites to count that haven't been touched in the last decade+. And I know they would not exist not if they relied on HTTPS only or HTTP/3.
Being "on the same page" has two forms, one of which is healthy and the other is not.

In organizations where everyone is trying to achieve the same broad goal, but have different ideas on how to achieve that goal, people are much more likely to propose novel ideas or changes which are healthy, and the business more readily adapts.

In organizations where people are just saying "yes" to whatever the person above them said, important information that needs to bubble up cannot, mistakes are made, people are thrown under the bus, and it becomes a toxic hellscape.

On the other hand, I've seen organizations where leaders were not "on the same page" and that lead to constant inter-department struggles. One would end up, by accident or intent, undermining another because they didn't have the same vision or strategy for getting there. Until someone up top is willing to lay down the law, being a manager in such an organization is effectively no different than being a politician.
> I recently came across someone maintaining a 0.5GB full text index to support searching their shell history, 100k commands. I use grep on a flat file, and testing now it takes 200ms for a query across my 180k history entries.

I just started using a tool that stores my bash history and replaces C-R that I found on HN, it's written in Rust and uses SQLite of course. But it'll randomly cause commands to pause for a few seconds before executing (I think the hook to write the command to history gets blocked). Probably some simple bug, but I could just have my command history in a flat file and use rg or fzf in a 5 line shell function and have no lag.

I can't find any information on who / how this site was created. I'm assuming it was either the ransomware'er being hacked and the chats leaked, or they are publishing this themselves?

Eitherway it's very interesting to see how different people deal with the situation.

Shouldn't the title read "Why I Fired Myself", as that's the actual title in the article?
yeah good callout. I'd would be totally fine with a server mode, or connection option, that opts you into pooling but then disables the incompatible features. You choose pooled mode if you need it, and the tradeoffs are documented.
I laughed at the mention of BMW drivers because it's so spot on. I agree that defensive driving is always the way to go, but at a certain point you need information. TC essentially goes from 100km/h to stopped in less than 15 seconds without any obvious visual indication. That's coming to the point where there's almost no defensive driving possible and a deadly highway collision becomes more likely than not.

It's the same in any situation. Always assume people will do completely insane things and prepare accordingly, but that doesn't mean we should make things more dangerous for no good reason. For all the truth that more chaotic roads make for more attentive drivers, they also still make for more accidents.

The figure 10-15% of GDP of a rich country seems to be concealing something important: in the US, it's nearly 20%. In Western Europe, it's generally around 10%, for the same, slightly better, or in some cases much better health outcomes.

The UK has a famously stingy system which costs 7.5% of GDP, however the UK has better infant mortality than the state with the best infant mortality, Massachusetts. The worst states have infant mortality 2-3 times that of the UK. (Note that the poorest states in the US, LA and AL, still have GDP higher than the UK. So the 7.5% is of a much lower per capita GDP.)

The average EU country spends a little more than the UK, as a % of GDP. But has health outcomes well ahead of the UK, and considerably far ahead of the best-performing US states.

It seems kind of distorted not to point out that around half of the US spend goes either on luxury healthcare for the rich, or emergency healthcare to those who can't afford proper healthcare, or simple rent-seeking by entrenched players (pharma, doctors, insurance companies) and that none of these improves health outcomes by very much.
Yeah, I was thinking of that. Sounds like it would be neat. I wonder if it is legal.
Nice, later this afternoon I'll have ChatGPT read these and summarize them for me

As a Brooklynite without a driver's license, American suburbia, like my wife's family's lovely NJ town, feels hostile due to its car dependency, lack of sidewalks, etc.

I had the opportunity to spend 8 weeks last summer in Barcelona and I thought Brooklyn was one of the most walkable cities in the world. Its not about just being walkable, it's also about public places, being able to "loiter." having roads where cars and can not go, etc.
I really wish we would use more precise terminology when discussing and reporting on these things. It sounds like they used machine learning, and I wish we'd stop calling all machine learning AI, but that ship has probably sailed.
Now that they have a trained model they can continue to apply it to new chemicals. It could even be used on chemicals that have not been synthesized yet to check if they are useful and worth the effort and money to synthesize.

The scammer in a foreign country has to have on-the-record account(s) with some foreign telecom company, directly or via some chain of intermediaries.

Just shut down those accounts, and if the foreign telecom doesn't comply, then block calls incoming from that telecom. Eventually the scammers will start encountering serious resistance to obtaining new accounts and numbers.

So why hasn't anyone done this yet?
Isn’t Biden a counterexample to this point?

Also, I’m not sure that this country has ever really selected leaders based on innate leadership potential (whatever that may be). Sometimes it selects for celebrity (I think GWB and Obama were arguably both in this bucket, despite traditional-ish political backgrounds), sometimes generals, sometimes Republican senators from Ohio.

But even for the presidents who turned out to be tremendously powerful leaders (Lincoln, FDR, LBJ), I’m not sure that was a deliberate choice by the voters ex ante (and obviously not in the case of LBJ).
It's hard to call either Hamas or Fatah democratically elected - there haven't been elections since 2006, and Hamas actually ran a coup the following year to seize power after they lost in the parliamentary elections.

Well, the launch locations aren't static/fixed sites. The Kalibr is generally launched by Russian vessels in the Black Sea, and the Kinzhals are launched by MIG-31s. You could try to strike their airbases, or ports, but that's a non-trivial exercise, even for a major power.
Interesting, would seem more efficient to comply with as many laws as possible that don't clash and have one configuration, only tweaking for local oddities.

After reading your comments last night, I think there's an argument that some of these these things are process operational constraints on how the state can operate. For example, the state doesn't have to charge someone in court, but if they do they must also provide the option for trial by jury.

I think the construction of if the state does X, it must also do Y sets it apart from a universal positive right.

I'm not a lawyer, but I believe the state can refuse to provide a jury trial for a citizen initiated legal action, like a civil suit by declining to hear the case.

I think you could find a similar framing for voting as well.

It's not good. For example, LTO-9 drives can only read back to LTO-7. If you want to read a 20-year-old tape you'd need a ~15-year-old drive.
I seem to recall articles 15-20 years ago about solid state 3D storage using lasers. Spinning HDDs are limited to 2D. Tape is 3D but requires cumbersome tape movement.

Whatever happened to that area of research? Did SSDs and flash drives kill off that idea?
The average duration of a 30 year mortgage being 11 years is due to refinancing or moving, it’s not due to large amounts of borrowers paying their debts early.
What's funny is, it's exactly those fast-cut-30-minute-final-action-scene-CG-shit-flying-everywhere movies that I find improved by being able to tune out and look at one's phone, in home viewing.

Good movies become worse if you're distracted by your phone during them, and are also usually much more sedate.

Well it's there in the name, they add machine learning to Postgres. They are not the only ones doing this, I am working on a similar idea and I don't think all of us are as misguided as the crypto bros of 2022. This is as much about Postgres as it is about AI. No one has yet successfully communicated what those in the know are seeing, and it is sort of hard to explain but relational databases are a good match for AI. Personally my strategy is to try to build compelling application instead of an infrastructure play, but to each its own and I wish them the best.
