> Wasn't the work on UPI started in 2009 and the vision statement was prepared in 2012

Is this[1] or is this not P. Chidambaram, Indian Finance Minister during the Congress-led UPA regime, criticizing the government's digital payment plans? You think such a pessimistic guy or his government would have done anything to make UPI a success except in a half-hearted fashion?

There is a saying: success has many fathers while failure is an orphan. No wonder when UPI has turned out to be a resounding success, people either turn up to claim credit or to run down the success of the current government.

There is a qualitative difference in both perception and intent between a figure of speech, and a machine specifically designed to impersonate a human. Although we articulate familiar concepts in anthropomorphic terms, no reasonable listener would interpret these phrases literally. The former is simply a play on words, while the latter is a subliminal attempt to mislead users into humanizing a machine.
VW’s management isn’t exactly stellar either, and they’re the ones who got caught.
Yes. You didn't say "libraries are a violation of the NAP and shouldn't exist" or whatever, you said "You aren’t being censored when someone doesn’t let you buy books with their money."

And, key to this issue are that

1. It isn't your money, it's state money and the state democratically decided to purchase books with it, for the benefit of the citizenry because an educated populace is good for the general welfare.

And

2. You didn't object to the generic purchase of books, but these particular books. And yes, using the state and state funding to disfavor or limit access to certain viewpoints or categories of information is definitionally censorship.

Much as with public schools, as long as the state decides they exist in general, they have to be funded fairly without a bias towards our against any particular viewpoint other than, like, education.

If you want to take the principled position that libraries are bad say that, and nothing else. Otherwise, I'll respond to what you say.
Case by case really. Occasionally the client has a preference, occasionally they don't.

Most large corporate clients are already familiar with WordPress and partnering them with a managed hosting solution like WP-Engine to handle security / support has worked really well.

Smaller, more agile companies that might want something a little more fun tend to do well with Webflow.

The larger the site the more likely I'd want it on WordPress over Webflow.

Unintended acceleration reports were something like 10x typical cars when I last looked at the data. At that time, there weren't many other electric cars and so I thought it was only fair to attribute those reports to the difference in immediate acceleration for electric cars. Since then, there's more electric cars to compare to and I've soured on one pedal driving (I suspect it leads to more user errors with brake vs accelerator) so it would be interesting to see if it's a Tesla thing or am electric car thing.

Miners have ASICs - specialized silicon that ONLY mines Bitcoin, but does so many times faster than a CPU or GPU can. The average low-demand user does not have such hardware. Furthermore, because Bitcoin increases difficulty to maintain a fixed transaction rate, ASICs have to be replaced with newer models every few years. So older ASICs are going to be cheaper, but they might still be worth buying if you're a spammer.

So in order to moderately inconvenience said spammer, you have to make each and every ordinary user wait hours mining a few satoshis' worth of hashes in order to be let in. This is the exact opposite of what you want.

I was just processing a document with tesseract & ocrmypdf, and two things:

My first time processing it, I used `ocrmypdf --redo-ocr` because it looked like there was some existing OCR. After processing, the OCR was crap because ocrmypdf didn't realize it was OCR but thought it was real text in the document that should be kept. This was fixable using `ocrmypdf --force-ocr`.

Before realizing this, I discovered that Tesseract 4 & 5 use a neural network-based recognition. I then came across this step-by-step guide on fine-tuning Tesseract for a specific document set: https://www.statworx.com/en/content-hub/blog/fine-tuning-tes...

I didn't end up following the fine-tuning process because at this point `ocrmypdf --force-ocr` worked excellently, but I thought the draw_box_file_data.py script from their example was particularly useful: https://gist.github.com/flaviut/d901be509425098645e4ae527a9e...

Yes, the API allowed one thing, now it does not. That's no different from changing an optional parameter to mandatory or any other thing which breaks the API.

So basically, Mullvad is saying that you can use its VPN aeevice as a client to reach services but not host a service yourself (especially in a home network behind NAT or CGNAT) and have others connect to it via the VPN.

The most commonly used scenario for port forwarding would be torrenting, where users forward ports so that they can be “connectable” (i.e., accept incoming connections from the Internet).
As can SARS-CoV-2 infection: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7340057/

> We report a first presentation of CNS demyelinating disease shortly after COVID-19 disease. To date, there is little evidence previously described in the literature (Zanin et al., 2020). In our case, the patient presented symptoms attributed to COVID-19 infection (anosmia and dysgeusia) prior to the visual manifestations. The brief temporal gap leads us to consider the existence of a causal relationship.

> There is plenty of evidence to support the association between viral infections and the development of demyelinating diseases. For example, Epstein-Barr virus infection is considered an important risk factor for the development of multiple sclerosis (Donati, 2020). Other viruses that cause common infections in humans like varicella-zoster, influenza or adenovirus are associated with more frequent and severe relapses in patients with MS (Andersen et al., 1993; McKay et al., 2017). Indeed, some studies show that viral respiratory tract infections may be linked to most of the exacerbations of MS (Marrodan et al., 2019).

Or make it worse: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34010764/

If you, and those who live with you, take significant precautions to avoid infection, then you're gold. You don't need to get infected or vaccinated. It's always better to not get infected in the first place. Only if you can't take these precautions do you have to weigh the risks/benefits of vaccination versus infection.

Hopefully these results will allow better design of vaccines to eliminate the parts of the spike protein that generate cross-reactive antibodies.
I still remember having my mind blown at a Pirates of Puget Sound party in the 80s where there were banks of 1541 drives connected in pairs happily copying disks with no C64 connected to the drives. Just insert two disks and it would copy from A to B. That was when I realized the 1541 drives weren't just drives, they were computers themselves.

The Mercedes L3 certification only applies to highways and for speeds less than 40mph. That has been a solved problem for years, so the L3 certification is not an indication of superior tech, but a trick to allow Mercedes salesmen to say "ours is L3 and Tesla is only L2."
> considering most condo parking garages I've seen only have 3-4 charging spots

Easy: condos will place more chargers.

Currently the paradigm is to place a few high-power chargers and have people occupy the charger as little as possible. Once electric cars hit a certain threshold everyone will want a charger, so it'll become more viable to just equip every single parking space with a low-power charger, and have everyone slow charge overnight.
Aren’t most of our rails already used at capacity?
I teach engineering ethics and while the example NSPE cases[1] skew more toward civil engineering, there are some cases relevant to software and computer engineers. But I find it helpful to draw examples from current events.

For example, use of facial recognition tech in policing. TV and movies give the impression that a satellite can identify the perp with 99.4% accuracy if you yell "enhance" enough times. Meanwhile, in reality we're happy when our classifier can tell a "3" from a "B" in a real image.

> And the ability to get reliable parallelism for free - e.g. Java’s parallelStream - is not a feature of for loops.

Why not? As in, it just seems like a language design issue, there's no reason why you technically couldn't use the "simpler" syntax. For example, what prevents us from having:

parallel for (Type instance: collection) {
// code for each iteration
}

Of course, there are other reasons to consider using streams and such, though admittedly they can sometimes be cumbersome to work with: especially when you would like to step through all of the transformations that a particular object instance undergoes (or when you map stuff and create new ones, or reduce lists into fewer items), as opposed to needing to tinker with lots of conditional breakpoints in the debugger.

We die pretty quickly too, octopi are only off us by an order of magnitude or two. Maybe the trees think this way about us too.
We already have an issue in the US at least, of doctors waxing about how their favorite part of their job is the relationship with their patients, and how they take an “evidence-based approach” and take time to listen to their patients… only for them to do the polar opposite in reality.

This is just going to be another case of patients needing to take ownership of their own care. It’s no longer “tell the doc your symptoms and they’ll figure out what’s wrong”, it’s now “tell the doc what you think you have and if they interrupt you and brush it off, go to another doc” until someone agrees with your diagnosis and gets you the referral or test or prescription that you need. For those who know what I’m talking about, I’m sorry. For those who don’t- you’ll learn this lesson someday.
The MB system will only in traffic jams on a handful of pre-mapped highways in Nevada. Not available to consumers yet. This is a purely regulatory achievement.
Yes, Emacs with org-mode. In fact, I got into Emacs because I wanted to try org-mode.

Org-mode it's just a mode, Emacs has a ton of modes, major and minor. The GNU Emacs Distribution, the Vanilla Emacs, already comes with org-mode.

It was six months ago. org-mode blown my mind. It was a transcendental experience, I was thrilled. It had everything I wished and much more. Thanks to it I discovered Emacs and I love it, it makes my life easier. What's great about Emacs is that you can solve any question you have with the manual, it's awesome, mind-blowing.

But It has a steep learning curve. I got through vim tutorial in less than an hour. Going through Emacs tutorial took me 4 afternoons, one our every day. It was 4 days because it's too much for one sitting. I almost gave up, I am happy I didn't. You have tot taking it slow, there are a lot of crucial key bindings you have to learn.

If you like writing or ordering idea, notes, etc. I recommend it, at least try it and then decide for yourself. But you have to put some time to get familiar with the Emacs ecosystem. Take it like a pianist, slow and steady makes you learn twice faster.

I am just a novice but this summer I want to try to learn more elisp and try to make one package. I hope this is not off topic. Emacs fits the description of the article, right?
A lot of this tech seems to consider the legitimate owner of the car doing DIY repairs as "malicious" as well, unfortunately.
It is absolutly not a weird metric. I (and a whole lotta other people) go to youtube to find real people testing and using real life things like keyboards, bikes, even other car brands, and so much more. I dont see how a person wanting to see how a cars self driving works on youtube is any different.

Mullvad isn't stopping port forwarding because of copyright issues. It's because you can use their IPs to host highly illegal websites and they can't connect your account to the content and suspend it.
These are two completely different things.

One is the provider of the API promising that the function supports compile-time evaluation.

The second is the consumer of the API ensuring that an expression has been compile-time evaluated. It's nice that the consumer can make sure, but that's not helpful if the provider of the API never specifically intended for a function to be evaluatable at compile-time.

> Whereas right now it's not allowed to.

Of course it's allowed, but you're at the mercy of the compiler's decisions.
It didn't, it did the subtraction in lbs and got the right answer, the off-by-one is due to rounding.
My biggest problem with all these public ev chargers is that there may be a chance they are no longer fit for purpose in a few years. All the installations for this “green” tech will need to be replaced.
Yes, these are all issues for personal-use vehicles.

It's much less of a concern for trucking companies, many of which already have multiple depos across their routes and thus are already in a position to swap batteries from one truck they own to another truck they own.
Yes they are, when they screw up.

I'm sure there are many others.
One thing I noticed and it scares me, when you are on auto pilot and you accelerate past the limit and then let go of the pedal the car will regenerative brake below the intended auto pilot speed, auto pilot will kick in and accelerate. I don’t know if the car will stop every time it’s happened I took over control.

I’d have to setup something soft to hit to test it but it’s unsettling to the point where I don’t really use autopilot unless I’m going straight for a long time.
It’s not available to consumers and only works on a few pre-mapped highways a low speeds (i.e. traffic jams). This is a nothingburger.

> rabid amount of hate will get you nowhere in life and will always keep you in a negative mood and disappointed

Wat.

Honestly, this attitude—equating moderate criticism with “rabid hate”— causes me to pause every time I get excited about India. There are democratic trade-offs in development. India has made them decently historically, and well recently. But the way you tank that balance is with blind jingoism.
I don’t. If you’ve ever worked in customer service you realize majority of issues are user error where the user isn’t bright enough to see their obvious error.

Combine that with the hate cult that follows musk around and such a database would just be kindling… like how this report is kindling for the hate.

What's the source IP for these sockets? Is it consistent across requests?

Opening a raw socket from a worker combined with a basic HTTP implementation could let you create a dynamic proxy that uses Cloudflare's worker IP range as the source address. That sounds like a fun^Winteresting way of getting around rate limits.

Related, does waiting for I/O count as "cpu time"? A proxy request might 10s of ms in total, but most of that will be waiting for packets to flow back and forth.

> a democracy would always reflect the will of the people with or without any law because that is what the rulers must do to continue to get elected

Except that's never been how democracies work. Going back to the first democratic greek city-states, to now, they all tend to operate on a number of different motivators, the last of which is law-makers changing what they do to fit the public interest.

Landed gentry and the aristocracy get priority, followed by merchants, and then the rest of the government gets its say, which often competes/clashes with other parts of the government. For the most part, anyone who gets elected got there through political savvy, money, and being exceptionally good at convincing people to trust them and give them power. So they're quite good at doing what they want despite what the people might want.

I agree that the people are often quick to give away their rights to secure their safety (or desires). But with transparency in government, people will notice the things they don't like (despite what they've given away or sold, including their principles) and can become outraged enough to reverse their previous acquiescence. You actually see this outside of democracies in most nations where people see enough bullshit that they eventually revolt.
