There’s a second accident cited where the truck changed lanes suddenly and trapped the car next to them under the trailer and dragged it for quite distance. Then the car caught fire and the driver was burned to death. Sounds like it’s pretty easy to underride if the truck changes lanes or swerved into you. Not a victim that I would blame.

What about the accident where the truck blew through a stop sign at 40mph and the victim was wedged underneath the trailer. I wouldn’t blame that victim either for not avoiding a truck moving at speed outside their line of sight.

What about the person who was rear-ended and propelled under the truck in front of them. Should that victim be blamed for their lack of attentiveness?

Yeah, people can be better drivers, but we also shouldn’t allow known hazards on the road. Even if it costs equipment manufacturers several hundred more dollars

I'm disappointed in the low quality of your arguments here. They border on bad faith, but, in truth, are probably simply lazy.

I googled "new law prison time for school librarians banned books" and the following was the top result: "School librarians face prison time for distributing banned books" (actual title slightly different)

True, 90% of doctor diagnosis are garbage and maybe even worse than ChatGPT. The 10% is for when you have a visible problem that can be cured with a surgery, they are pretty good at that.
A doctor with GPT-4 could be way better than one without.

Recently I learned that my teenage son purchased a movie called “Dad’s Can’t Dance”, which is only available from this website: https://www.daddycantdance.com/

Why? I have no idea (why do teenage boys do any of the things they do?), but there can’t be many people buying this movie off a random website.
In the era before JSON and pervasive Javascript, HTML was the API. The Web is an API. The people saying "API" are really just saying "the same data that's in the HTML, but stripped of extra junk". HTML was never supposed to be about presentation, it was data meant for a variety of user agents. Has everyone forgotten? Are they too young to remember? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!
but if internet is only reddit and onlyFans and so one i think we enter the middle age. I miss complexe forums with passionated guys. redeit ends up rants and garbage of newbies, I dont use it so much . Maybe I'll be donwvoted but years ago I did learn and also meet people with forums. Now its redeit full of newbies
In all seriousness... I've been getting several SMS messages from unknown numbers every day, as well as several 0:02 second empty voicemails every day. I've had my phone number for 17 years, and it's tied to so many things that I don't want to change it. I'm a pretty low value target for someone to be stalking my location with such a sophisticated method. Should I be worried that this is more than just spam?
I think only 16Gb of RAM, though. And it needs a chunk of that to run the OS and “finder”.

I also think that if this were a feasible use case, apple would promote it. They are clearly positioning this headset as adjacent to the dev space, based on price and how they previewed it. And Apple is one of those companies that if you find yourself swimming upstream against how they want you to use it… it might be reason to find a different platform.

That first one might be of no use in a dataset for the US, UK etc. to make such decisions. It is a ridiculous outlier. 20-200k people die and there is a cover up.
Haha it honestly would make a lot of work much easier. Instead we inject a little oxytetracycline into 1000s of fish which stains calcified structures and release them again in the hopes someone recaptures one or so x years later in the hopes they report it and there are y rings between the dark ring and the margin of the otolith/vertebrae.

Should be some type of nuke that would release weird isotopes but with minimal toxicity?
YouTube is also horrible these days. They made it so for any event or happening, only "official" sources show up so they can add "context" to the narrative. It's dystopian, but possibly worse: annoying. I can't find out what I nees to, when I need to. Thanks Google.
Show HN: basement community, an early-web inspired forum, 6 months later
6 months of running my home-rolled web forum, basement community, and now with Reddit going apeshit, I'd like to take a minute to share recent enhancements to the site.

Highlights include:

* user count has gotten to over 350!! this is huge!!!!

* added more user settings (bionic reading mode, avatars
disabled, auto-bookmarking threads, toggle posting hints)

* shows latest posts on homepage for easier parsing for new content

* posts are saved locally so they are not lost upon page refresh or browser closing

* DARK MODE!!!

* quality-of-life improvements, such as auto-focusing on form-fields and auto-scrolling to form errors

* privacy and FAQ page

* joined some more webrings because fuck yeah webrings

* adds a bunch of moderation tools for mods and admins

* revamps some of the homepage and thread landing page UIs

this project makes me happy and i encourage everyone to just start on a project they've been thinking about!!!

also the API is free to use unlike some other sites
> No they don't. Stop lying.

I'm sorry you don't believe me, but librarians are facing jail time in Tennessee, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas, and Oklahoma. Librarians (typically school librarians, but in at least one state also public librarians). The books their collection owns is a book they own. The states are telling them they could go to jail for owning a book in their collection.

In Arkansas, a librarian can now face 6 years in prison for 'Obscene material' but provide no guidance on what 'Obscene' means. Laws that are selectively enforced and provide no clear guidance are laws that are designed to limit speech and limit freedom.

Simply saying "no." and accusing me of lying does not change the fundamental truth of the matter.
Uh, why? Why is “buying government regulations” that allow you to cut corners easier than just cutting corners where no regulations exist. Like, if there’s a true competitive free market, are consumers of petroleum products going to choose to pay a premium for ethically sourced petroleum? No, right? Otherwise they’d be doing that now. So how would it be better with fewer regulations? There’s no logic or analysis presented in your comment, just a series of assertions. I’d love it if you could unpack your argument a little bit about how deregulating (eg: the oil and gas sector) might make disasters like Exxon Valdez less likely.
We have a couple GPU nodes in our cluster, each have 4 80GB cards (or V100 nodess are only 32GB).

We have users that have a workstation with a 3090, but the larger amount of memory is what they are after.
Canada also has the ridiculous top pressure but (I believe in all jurisdictions but might be wrong) eliminated the lower than minimum wage pay for servers. And we have the added nonsense of being asked to tip at the oil change place and other areas where no one was ever being paid less than minimum wage.
> If you want to summarize a document and it's less than 16,000 tokens, you pipe it into gpt-3.5-turbo-16k.

If it could fit within the context length then you wouldn’t need to search it to find relevant portions at all. I’m talking about situations where you want to ask questions about a very long document, using the search approach, and one of those questions might be “please summarize chapters 2 through 8”.

The search method will never accommodate that, but a model fine tuned on your data might plausibly.
That is probably what caused the leak
I hope with all this AI that understands text, we will get a "AI: what do you think?" button next to browser text boxes that can coach us on our spelling, grammar, advisability of jokes (or even joke advice), and cliche answers.
There are some good thoughts in there but it seems like it'd make echo chambers.
I can definitely see where the "educated workers" producing this headline should be concerned. But the study talks a lot less about replacement and more about productivity, and the fact that there are too few new workers to replace those that are retiring. So AI probably did not write this headline; it probably would have been more accurate.
It’s really not (well, no more than PCIE) - SXM has nvlink integrated, and more power delivery built in. Thus, they can crank the max wattage way higher, though it definitely gets into the diminishing return zone quickly past 300W.

SXM baseboards are made by more than Nvidia, Dell, HP, and Supermicro all have their own designs.

We should not be so dependent on one person that if they are compromised because of deepfakes everything collapses. People need to be taught to have more patience and to question questionable things like that. Give the benefit of the doubt.

And realize that penalizing regular people's access to something good or necessary because of bad actors won't hurt the bad actors. Nothing in this legislation provides teeth against what you're describing. There are also other strategies that explicitly do not involve banning access.

Rather, encourage and leverage access. When everyone has deepfaking capabilities just because of fun filters in snapchat, it's encoded into the social contract from a young age not to abuse that except in jest. There are paper and log trails all over the place when these services run. A deepfake being created means a deepfake is detectable.
Really not sure why this needs a phone number. Not much of an explanation why either. I assume for social stuff, but gating the whole app like this will deter some people from trying it out. Sounds like a fun app though.
Recently discovered I'm going to have to boot into a DOS environment in order to use a utility, that I had to ferret out of old web pages, to change the IDLE3 setting on some Easystores I have, in order to stop them from aggressively parking their heads and spinning down after a couple dozen seconds of idle time.

For the sake of "power savings", these drives seem determined to eat themselves if you don't just perform one sustained bout of access and then disconnect them and put then on a shelf until next week, when you do exactly the same.

WD, F this setting. And double F not documenting it and supporting a straightforward way to change it.

P.S. Someone wrote a Linux based utility for this, 10+ years ago, that is still on Sourceforge, but I didn't find much confirmation as to whether it works correctly.

Twilio and similar.
For a set of primitive operations (such as those in Turing machine), how can you be sure that it spans all possible computations? It sounds that's one of the challenges Turing had - so he went at lengths to show that by various "soft arguments", e.g. that it's possible to build a VM (Turing machine that runs other Turing machines IIRC). Later on, it was shown that the Turing machine is equivalent to machines other folks came up with (Goedel's recursive functions, lambda calculus, etc) and a consensus emerged that they are all describing a full set of computations.
It never ceases to amaze me how conspiricists don’t believe anything the government says, but the instant something is congruent they’ll upvote it like wildfire.

Make a site where nobody cares as much, by eliminating the "righteous fringe", and then settle in to make money.
Indeed private debt does (usually) get paid back - but even more is being created, and so the money supply expands!

The US came off the gold standard in 1914 - so money did not have to be backed by gold (or silver or whatever) - it became fiat. Thereafter private banks were free to create as much money as they liked! (within 'reason') and so inflation (of the money supply) was born.

If the amount of money (modulo velocity) grows in line with the real size of the economy, then prices will remain stable. If the money supply outpaces the real economy, then prices will rise (what we commonly call inflation). If the money supply doesn't keep up, then prices will fall (deflation - this is considered bad because people stop spending). On the gold standard, the only way to grow the economy without causing deflation was to dig up ever more gold. Not really feasible in the modern age, hence fiat currency.
SQLite database locks can be more quickly obtained and released if CPU affinity is set for the database processes, allowing all I/O activity to share the same cache(es).

I have read (but cannot remember where) that this can increase performance by thousands of DML operations per second.
I really like sneak which is basically like f but with two letters, works really well.

Far worse, it's very easy to know when a person is going to be asleep even with no more data.

You can use location in part, yes, but health tracking can sort out your patterns very well and determine exactly what you are next likely to do without having any further data points (if you turned off and took off all devices). It's all trainable.
> None of these laws punishes possession ...

> which are directed to not stock these books

You see how these are opposites, right? Stocking a book in a library is possessing it. The laws punish libraries for having a book in their collections, and that punishment can include years in prison.

Years in prison for a library having a book in its collection.

Libraries are some of the bastions of freedom and liberty in our nation, they represent the fundamental ideal that free speech should be accessible. Telling libraries that they should not stock books is antithetical to freedom and liberty.

I don't think anyone cares if they are called fees or taxes. The question is: Why can't Comcast calculate/list them at the point of sale? They seem to be able to easily calculate and list them when it's time to bill. Shouldn't there be an API endpoint somewhere called listAllFeesForStreetAddress(address) that both the billing and the marketing system can call? The fact that the billing systems do this but the marketing systems don't must be a deliberate choice by the company.
I like to define a JSON schema (https://json-schema.org/) and prompt GPT-4 to output JSON based on that schema.

Any machine in a company needs to be able to be unplugged and thrown out of a window, without leading to significant data loss, only the inconvenience of the price of a new machine and setup time.

There are very few machines in the world that are actually mission critical, and you might not be able to do that (although for them, you can probably switch components with it still running). Anybody else, you are just betting your company on the lack of fires, hardware failure, etc.

People tell us what they like about craigslist including:

- A sense of trust and even intimacy
- Consistency of down-to-earth values
- Simplicity
- No charges, except for job postings
- Freshness of the material
- No ads, particularly no banner ads

Some level of retroactive regulatory changes are required because the industry keeps discovering that the previous way of doing things was substantially less safe than previously assumed.

My favorite example of this is that during the golden era of cheap nuclear power mentioned in articles like this, it was the norm to run all the redundant control and monitoring wiring through the same narrow duct in a wall meant to stop fire spreading, fill it with highly flammable foam, and test the foam for air leaks using a bare candle flame. The way we learned this was a bad idea was because workers at Brown's Ferry Nuclear Power Plant actually managed to start a fire and take out a bunch of supposedly redundant monitoring and control systems whilst flooding the control room with smoke. This bad design made both the redundancy and the firestops that were meant to be there ineffective, and the stricter fire regulations required to prevent issues like this are a major cost.

You can't just assume that because something hasn't caused a major catastrophe yet that it's safe to continue doing either. This is such bad engineering practice and has played a role in so many major disasters across multiple industries there's even a specific name for it: the normalization of deviance. It's dangerous because it invalidates all the engineering and safety calculations that were meant to prevent disaster, replacing them with a gamble where no-one really knows the odds.
Looks like you found a racist dude in one of the over 128 million people that live in the south.

I'm sure you could find some more if you look.

It's over 38% of the county's population, and by far the most populous region of the U.S. [1].

You can find racism anywhere. Mostly in very small percentages, mostly in uneducated populations, and not restricted to any particular ethnicity.

Say no more! Python? Rules? Unheard of.

from importlib.machinery import ModuleSpec
import importlib.util
import sys

spec = ModuleSpec("mymodule", loader=None)
module = importlib.util.module_from_spec(spec)

module.__dict__.update({"a": 42})

sys.modules["mymodule"] = module

import mymodule

print(mymodule.a) # -> 42

That's if you want a proper module. But modules can be any type and it's officially supported!

import sys
from types import SimpleNamespace
sys.modules["mymodule"] = SimpleNamespace(b=37)

import mymodule
print(mymodule.b) # -> 37

# ^^^ This is literally just calling __getattr__ on the module object. Do with that what you will.

This will cross files as well but you need to make sure the code to create the module runs before you try importing it! glhf
