When I say full-size, I mean a plausible NEMA 5-15 replacement exclusively for DC power; something that you could reasonably run at least a kilowatt or two through, and with a mechanically robust design. It should be able to power a toaster oven or stand mixer, and be mechanically robust enough to survive people tripping over the cable many times and being generally rough with it.

Those little barrel jacks are fine for what they are, but I can't imagine powering a toaster oven with one. Cigarette lighter ports might fit the bill, at least mechanically. I haven't seen one of those in many years and forgot about them.
They rebranded it into “console ninja”, with a more generous (and actually (extremely) useful) free tier for the extension. I can highly recommend it!

An easy way to correct this is injecting a watchdog function call at the end of every for and while loop. It’s a trivial AST transformation that’s relatively fool proof as opposed to trying to figure out what condition would progress the loop. The semantics of the watchdog depend on the use case and ideally you can transform the evaled code in an async wrapper. Set a global variable to the current time on animation frames and then throw an exception inside the watchdog when it times out (when difference between the global variable and current time is > x ms).

TIL about SMS Delivery Reports and I Googled to learn how to enable them in the native SMS messaging app on my mobile device!

I didn't have time to read the whole doc. Did it say how many SMS Delivery Reports were needed to create the model? I saw this "We repeated the classification for every combination of locations in our dataset, with sample sizes varying from 100 to 500"

I think getting 100 messages from a (series of) unknown number(s) would be alarming, but after reading this, I now know that it's a sign that I need to ... get a new burner phone and increase the size of my security detail? :^)

I blame this partly on tipping culture.

I just do not understand why the tip amount is proportionate to the value of food being delivered.

The fee should be set based on factors that impact LOE and time that impact delivery. That's it. Just like in the rest of the civilized countries.

Want $9 happy meal delivered to your house? $5 bucks.
Want $30 sushi next door to the McD? $5 bucks.

I don't know why we make things so complicated.
Genuine question, why do most articles discussing PE seem to portray them in a malicious light? Fundamentally, PE investors have skin in the game - they do invest on behalf of their LP, but typically GPs contribute a portion of their own income into the fund as well, not to mention their compensation is tied to performance. The consequence of that gives them every incentive to help a company succeed, and not ruin it.

Sure there are failures as with every investments, but one can simply evaluate the overall returns within the asset class across a period of time to see that there is value being created (or at least allocated)

i keep seeing this sentiment about things moving to discord here, but my experience is i dont see that happening anywhere. i suspect there is some kind of experience bubble you are in. i really never hear about people using discord except for games.
Especially on HN it's pretty common for people to retroactively justify these kinds of decisions based on results, but it always reminds me of an article I read a few years ago (https://americanaffairsjournal.org/2017/11/western-elite-chi...)

"When I was an intern, in one of the training presentations, a senior banker told us to distinguish between the process and the results. He said that we should focus on the process, which we can control, rather than the result, which is subject to luck. And here at Goldman, he said, we don’t punish people for losing money for the right reason. I have always loved asking questions, so I asked him, was anyone ever punished for making money for the wrong reason?"

Just like that old Dropbox comment that people love to bring up, you can make a gazillion dollars off a bad bet, and you can lose following a good strategy, that's the case everywhere probabilities are involved. Outcomes don't determine if the original evaluation was sound or not.
You should throw all your money in then. Meanwhile teams with good people who also have a good product are going to eat them for lunch.

My take is slightly more nuanced - if you're paying a company to access their content, it shouldn't matter how you're accessing that content.

More concretely, as a (former) subscriber to Reddit Premium, I should continue to get access to Reddit via their APIs for free. But that was never an option, since Reddit only wants to charge the application creators and not the actual consumers.

>Was this piece written by the EU government? It sounds so weirdly congratulatory.

There is a self-congratulatory concept that's fairly prevalent in some policy circles called "The Brussels Effect". It's the idea that the EU can exercise outsized political influence by being the first and/or most ambitious mover in regulatory contexts.

In some policy circles, this has morphed into a probably unsupported belief that the Brussels Effect, to the extent it exists, will have economic benefits for the EU. It's an obviously attractive luxury belief for those whose bread and butter is pushing regulations.
One thing that makes macOS stand out, is the frameworks. Every version of the OS has come with improvements in the UI libraries. I remember being amazed at Cocoa's bindings, which developed into a way to bind arbitrary data to UI controls. It was reactive before React (although not taken that far, because the UI 'language' was limited). That's just one small part, and it's why replicating macOS is so hard.
Comparing Lausanne to Zurich might be more apt, but it is still true.
I often think about this in the context of the homelessness problem. Homeless people are often kind of bored during the day and spend most of the time just loitering and hanging out. If they had the option of doing something productive during the day, it would be a win-win-win. They would have something to do and a bit of extra cash to spend, someone gets cheap labor, and they get off the streets during the day. Perhaps this could even be leg up into an actual job and career?

There's no way to paint this as anything other than blatant extortion - just like prison labor. But at the same time it's a bit weird to me that we kind of set societal speed limits "unless you are providing at least $15/hr in value to society you are a ward of the state".

But I think an important caveat to Sowell's argument is that is he is kind of describing the intent of minimum wage. It's a tool aimed at labor monopsony and one of the purposes of minimum wage is to intentionally thin out the supply of low wage labor from the bottom. It was never about benefiting people making $0. It was about removing competition amongst the people making $15.

I've been on a similar quest for hard to reproduce, timing/hardware/... bugs, and if you're facing any kind of skepticism (your own or otherwise) it can be very comforting to have a 10x or even 100x no failure occurred confidence.

It's particularly comforting when the reason for the failure/fix/change in behavior isn't completely understood.
>>> And this is India, a democratic country," Mr Dorsey told the show's hosts

I'm alarmed at how often I'm hearing this sentiment from apparently smart people, i.e. "...but this is a democracy". I have been hearing it enough lately that it's starting to look like people think the word "democracy" refers to a kind of enlightened state with some sort of guarantees of fairness or justice.

Democracy literally means majority rule, that's all. Why would anyone expect that to result in fairness?

If you want guarantees of fairness and justice then you need something else as well (like a set of guaranteed baseline rights, an independent judicial body to uphold them etc.)
Assuming you're actually going to do anything with the results, basically any meaningful number of false positives is a huge problem. If using an LLM (or appearing to have done so) to at least help write a college essay is considered plagiarism, that can easily be grounds for expulsion.

> The military example is probably instructive because that's a case where a long-term career in a given military is relatively common.

Figures from the last decade [0] show that half of all British Army recruits will have left after four-to-five years service, and only 23% make it to ten years.

One reason (not the only one) for the military emphasis on training is they can't fully utilise their skills in peacetime, unlike most other professions.

If they can predict the complication, they can bill for it ahead of time.

Basically they forgot they built a site built on community and then tried to sell those communities like inanimate objects. No surprise it blew up in there face.
I think it’s the same reason countries don’t simply get better as we expect they should: there’s no omnipotent entity with that exact goal in mind. Instead, we have a lot of people just going for their own interests, playing politics or corporate game, moved by vanity or greed etc. which often do more harm than good for the company’s supposed goals (not even mentioning larger companies tend to attract certain types of people who are more parasites than “builders”).

This why it’s funny that when the Victoria 3 game was released, people realized and it became news that Communism was more effective to make your country thrive. Well, no shit? You’re playing as an external entity which only purpose is to make your State greater in a century, so the more power over the economy the more effective you are at reaching your goals. Real countries don’t work like that, and the same logic applies to companies.
one of the solutions which made it pretty simple for us to run postgresql in a ha environment (mostly in k8s, but works standalone as well) is zalandos patroni: https://github.com/zalando/patroni it's really solid and worked for us for a few years already. (it also comes with a haproxy config to have a single leader connection)

or for k8s their operator: https://github.com/zalando/postgres-operator (docker image: https://github.com/zalando/spilo) we've also tried other operators which were easier to get started, but they failed miserably (crunchyrolls operator is basically based on the zalando one)
it depends if the company designed it that way, in a bigger company I would have the policy that all deployments can be rolled back (except some bigger migrations)
‘Said Metzl, “Had US government officials including Dr. Fauci stated from day one that a COVID-19 research-related origin was a very real possibility, and made clear that we had little idea what viruses were being held at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, what work was being done there, and who was doing that work, our national and global conversations would have been dramatically different. The time has come for a full accounting.”’

Seems doubtful that Daszak (and possibly Fauci) had little idea what was going on in that lab..
LOL they’re fucked
Parallelism and concurrency are different models. It is not a needless distinction.

With just concurrency, you can have a system, e.g. an event processing system, where each event happens, is processed to completion, and then the next event is processed. Events can be of different types and can have different handlers. Events can be arrive (or be delivered) in different orders. The context-switching points are known (in this case, the beginning and end of event processing). As such, any computation between context switching points appears to happen atomically (i.e. no partial update, no internal reordering).

Parallelism is a different model.

There are no well-defined, limited set of interaction points between computations. A computation could literally be interrupted at any machine-level instruction and another computation start running. Suddenly, the number of possible interactions is huge--almost beyond comprehension. Locks, transactions, or other synchronization mechanisms are necessary in order to create larger atomic regions (and defend against race conditions). Worse, with weak memory models, which most modern multi-core hardware have, means that interleaving alone is not enough to explain the possible interactions between threads. It's possible with weak memory models that writes from another computation appear in different orders to different threads. Weak memory models make avoiding race conditions absolutely paramount.

> Check the git repo of the library you are installing beforehand if you're so paranoid about postinstall.

> And above that, never install any library for which the source is not readily available.

Whether source is available or not is mostly irrelevant when you're potentially dealing with malicious code, you need to review artifacts that are being fetched from NPM since those can differ from source code on Github.

Attackers aren't going to announce their malicious code through meaningful git commit messages in a prominently displayed GitHub repository. They will make innocent-looking commits on Github, then publish a new version containing a single additional line of malicious code on NPM.
>It's just that under a business model where having more people on call not cost them anything, they were happy to expand the on call roster to an unlimited size.

OK, sure, and the next logical step is telling the delivery people when they're on shift, where they have to wait when they're not making deliveries, and prohibiting them from multi-apping, etc.

I think there's a fine line between "our labor is underpaid, we should be paid more" and "let's destroy the entire business model" and I'm certainly excited to see how badly this will go. If I were to be cynical, I would say that there's a certain slice of the labor rights movement for whom any combination of the above would be a good outcome.
Even if they're all "old" pennies with $0.02 worth of Copper, you can't legally melt them down. This means they're still just worth a cent, and like turtleyacht pointed out, that's only worth $10,000. Nobody is going to pay 2.5x times the price for some really old pennies found in a random basement. Especially since that's around 5,500 lbs of coins to move!

Oh please. The consolidation has affected email equally to the point where "email" is synonymous to "gmail". No one is signing up for email by searching for other email clients, setting up SMTP and whatnot. They go to Google, search for "email" click on the sign up link to "gmail" and carry on. I hardly believe even more than 1% of email users even know about its federated nature

Unless Mastodon has similarly sensible, no frills defaults, it is doomed to the fringes. Normal users are not going to have the patience to look at a bunch of instances and make a choice that they really don't understand. Make a large instance for everyone and make it the default

That is not what I mean.

You can put things in a license that are not legally enforceable.

You could add: "All users must sacrifice their first born child to the developer". No court in the world would enforce that license.

This is a contrived example, but what is enforceable will vary in different legal jurisdictions.

Things are not black and white, which is why it is incredibly common for their to be lawsuits disputing the meaning of validity of a license.

This is why it is best to consult a lawyer before changing a license.

It is important to rename a modified license to avoid confusion. If you tell someone your software is MIT licensed, but you modify the license, they might inadvertently break the terms because they are familiar with the MIT license, not your modified license.

There are a lot of open source licenses out their, I strongly suggest finding that suits you best.

Using your own licence might hinder adoption. There some people that don't consider a license open source in unless it is OSI approved. I don't agree, but it is a good idea to stick with OSI approved licenses.
I am not sure I follow. Could you clarify?
Good LLM outputs are typically not the same for every identical query. For now that makes AI checkers fairly incompetent (and leads to disastrous teacher results when trying to find the students using AI).

If I ask even just GPT 3.5 something like: "Who was John Adams?" - it'll give me a slightly varied answer pretty much every single time (even if I modify its settings to make it less creative with responses, it'll still usually vary a bit).

Here is a simple API hit on gpt-3.5-turbo-16k-0613

Output 1) John Adams was an American statesman, lawyer, diplomat, and Founding Father who served as the second President of the United States from 1797 to 1801. He was one of the key figures in the American Revolution and played a crucial role in drafting the Declaration of Independence. Adams also served as the first Vice President under George Washington. He was known for his strong advocacy of republicanism and his belief in a strong central government. Adams was a prolific writer and his letters and writings provide valuable insights into the early years of the United States.

I am curious, why don't you like centralization? It seems like no matter the crowd, people need centralization. Atleast to begin with, then they are ok breaking off into subgroups.
