They seem to have implemented everything that the "bistro" scene calls for. I don't know if those hanging colored lights emit light, though. Rend3/WGPU doesn't handle large numbers of light sources yet. But you wouldn't see them in daylight anyway, because this is high dynamic range rendering, and, as in real life, those light are dim relative to the sun.

Here's the same scene in Godot.[1] This was modified a bit, and has accurate values for the lamp illumination. So they are totally washed out by the sun.

And here it is in several other renderers, with a video.[2]

The original scene was in .fbx, from Amazon's "Lumberyard" project. [3] That project started as the Crysis engine, was bought by Amazon, spun off as open source, was renamed
Open 3D Engine, and is still getting Github changes, so it's not dead.

There are many open source game engines. Most of them get stuck at "mostly works, not ready for prime time". That's where the problems get hard and fixing them stops being fun.

> The city is in trouble

What are your thoughts on the city's future? I've seen a lot of doomerish articles of late, many did seem to leave during Covid etc. however I still know many who happily look to buy property or relocate to the city right now. Do you believe the core innovation drive is in trouble, threatening it becoming a new Detroit? (Or even just the city itself, while the suburbs continue to boom and do well in the future as the city collapses - like Metrodetroit?)
That's too vague. If you mean "every law", it never did mean that, and never should. Mob rule is awful.
They're just saying they won't encourage news/politics, not that they'll police them off:

> "Politics and hard news are inevitably going to show up on Threads - they have on Instagram as well to some extent - but we're not going to do anything to encourage those verticals."
This is supported by the wikipedia page for Windows Update:

"Critical Update Notification Utility (initially Critical Update Notification Tool) is a background process that checks the Windows Update web site on a regular schedule for new updates that have been marked as "Critical". It was released shortly after Windows 98."

Unfortunately, the citation for that is no longer active on MS's site, and the archive.org version no longer works either.
Could you say more about this?!
That rule is specific to school busses with the red STOP lights flashing, and you’re allowed to pass the other way if there’s a physical divider like a median in the road.

Genolve Adds Generative AI Art to Its Online Design Platform
Genolve, a platform for creating professional designs, has just released a major version upgrade which integrates three popular AI text-to-image generators: DALL-E 2, Stability.ai and Midjourney! Just type in a description of the desired image and generate it in seconds for pennies per image. Still, it can be tricky to get exactly what you need and in this blog post you'll learn the tricks and techniques to coax the AI to generate mind-blowing results through prompt engineering. You'll also learn step-by-step how to AI edit your own photos to remove unwanted items or add something extra using a technique called inpainting.
Yeah, and the next question is, is the numerator growing faster than the denominator?
at a local college town, several young men got into an argument leading to a fist fight. One of the guys was a current athlete star in American football, so we can imagine he was muscular and in peak condition. A rival got into an ordinary car and backed into the athlete, who was [strong|drunk|stupid] enough to try to physically challenge the car moving one meter. The athlete had both legs broken, and the guy driving was "in trouble" .. so there is some context for future auto rodeo players.
Come now. Surely you can find something to criticize in what I've actually said, without needing to resort to footless inference about my person.
Yup. If we are being pedantic, and I am sure the author of this loves being pedantic, any number of factors could cause this algorithm to be incorrect. Put it in a slow enough cpu for instance, and it will output the wrong answer.

And correctness is the single most important part of an algorithm. We can do any problem in constant time if we don't mind our answers are not correct.
I really like these types of puzzles. Here's some feedback:

I think I either missed a clue (i triple checked) or it came down to a guess on the time. I hope it's the former and not the later.

I also had a couple of waste clues. Once I had the murderer, I had a few possibilities of the murder weapon but then clues narrowed that way down. Out of 4 weapon possibilities, having 3 clues say what the weapon wasn't is 1-2 too many, especially that late in the game.

The graph was a little confusing. It's not clear that the relation of the rooms matters from the game/clues, but the graph makes me think it is. (this was written before I saw the how to play link, see below)

I got a constable score. I have no idea if that's a good score or a poor score, probably the later since I went through all the clues.

The how to play link should be at the top in the first set of directions on how to play. I think another commenter said that it takes at least 15 minutes to change rooms. IE in the example if Alice is in the kitchen at 10:15, she couldn't have been in the bathroom at 10:00. She could only be in either the living room or bedroom at 10:00 to be able to be in the bathroom at 10:15. I didn't even make that leap until I had read that comment. Call that out specifically!
No, it's just that "disruptive" is a pretty broad and subjective spectrum of behavior and a lot of kids get a raw deal from school administrators for really harmless shit. See zero-tolerance policies. Everyone in this thread is using broad weasel language with a blanket response of "expulsion" when really that should be reserved for heinous offenses.
If you read his posts more than the one in the article. He is basically saying these topics will exists on the platform and they are welcomed, but they aren't to promote them or include them in the service as they do on other platforms. Which basically means they probably aren't going to show you news and politics through the algorithm.

I think they are going for more promoting communities topics like sports, fashion, entertainment ect than hot topics like news and politics.

Although I dont think this is a big of deal as sending the data is still opt-in, it collects the data by default but doesn't send it.
Say what now? GCM is itself vulnerable to CCA in a nonce reuse scenario - exactly the subject of this thread. Not to mention padding oracle attacks against CBC mode etc. Almost all modern symmetric ciphers achieve CCA security by combining the cipher with a MAC to create an AEAD mode. So if your AEAD mode gives up the MAC subkey, as GCM does under nonce reuse, then you lose all CCA security, and usually starting leaking details about plaintexts not long after.

What kind of revenue does self-driving taxis bring? And are the problems you describe above due to a lack of revenue?
It's deliberate.

It's not deliberate by the tech itself. But they pack it in the product and market it, with a general narrative that it's superhuman like experience that is going to replace humans. At this level, it's deliberate.
Couple of notes, I'm not an Node person, but you need a later version of Node than what comes default with Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS, and your instructions have us installing modules globally, which #1 didn't work for me, and #2 requires root in Linux (please don't require me to install as root to update a text file).

It actually worked when I did:

$ node -v

$ npm init -y

Haha, I've always found it uniquely horrifying to see corporate accounts on Twitter "banter" with each other.
They still almost certainly live at home and I imagine there’s an expectation from their parents to finish high school. There’s definitely a big line between being a crappy student doing the bare minimum vs dropping out.

What does organic mean? Everything starts with a small group, and of course the first people to act will be labeled activists.

Self-driving cars are not organic; they are organized by a tiny group of companies.

I think the dumbest thing not mentioned n the video is that when they drive around empty, they're using our roads, contributing to traffic, emitting carbon, and they're not even transporting anything! Who cares if you're safer per mile driven if you're driving miles that serve no purpose other than to demonstrate your ability to drive?

I think (a) there should be bans on the vehicles driving empty other than to pick up a passenger, who must be close by and (b) whenever a vehicle blocks an emergency vehicle or transit or inappropriately blocks traffic, that company should be suspended from un-manned operation until they can explain the error and make a plausible argument that they have resolved the issue. If you're trapped in a muni train with 60 others for 20 min bc a vehicle that isn't even transporting anyone refuses to move and their parent company doesn't have an operator close by, that's unacceptable. Until companies demonstrate that they won't disable transit, why shouldn't people disable their vehicles?

The driverless cars, wittingly or not, sabotaged transit already; turnabout is fair play.
I've been saying this for years. Improper denials or non-payments (like when the other driver's insurance went silent after agreeing on what they owed me) should carry a penalty multiplier and a high interest rate beyond that.

If improper rejection saves them money they'll do it. The system has to be engineered that proper behavior is also economically sensible behavior.
These headphones or any battery operated gadgets are meant to be thrown away.

I've only tried bluetooth headphones once and I regretted it. They didn't fit right and the little mp3 player was a bit finicky getting the two to pair. I can only assume the batteries are cheap and have a low charge cycle rating if any rating at all so I expect I will reach your conclusion sooner than later. So to answer your question, yes I am already sick of them. Not a total loss as I wont buy anything without a headphone jack.

I've since gone back to my cheap old school wired headphones and they are good enough for walking and jogging. If I need headphones at home I have some mid-cost-range wired over-ear headphones that sound decent. Not as good as my old Bose wired qc-15's but I am retired and no longer need to tune out the bull-pens. Most of the time I just rock the house with some old Cerwin-Vega's I bought from a coworker 26 years ago.
3D printed things in general tend to have poor (weaker) material properties.

I predict that that won't matter eventually though, because over time, the cost of human labor goes up and the cost of materials goes down (relatively). That means anything that reduces the labor cost to build a house will always eventually happen, even if more materials are needed (unless another technique reduces the labor further first).
Please someone blow the lid off the telco fraud world already. The reason companies such as telesign exist is because telcos are allowing fraudsters and scammers to run amok using their infrastructure and in lots of cases directly benefiting from their activities or even participating themselves. The whole telephone system is broken and the ones running the show are not showing any intent to fix it.
I agree. In my head I group chatbots into: 1. bot that can regurgitate the faqs 2. bot that can perform actions

I've had good experiences with type 2 bots with Amazon, Uber, and Doordash, refunding orders that weren't delivered, etc. I assume they have a budget for refunds based on your purchase and refund volume, very similar to the agency a normal customer service agent would have.
The idea of these people expecting for profit companies to not be ruthlessly profit driven is hilarious.
Why do companies think they can control this? you can call just about anything news and politics!
Thanks for posting this here. Does does like neat party trick.

I got randomly assigned a "troubled" phone number once. It was a PITA. It should probably be illegal for phone companies to recycle numbers from old users with certain types of legal or financial problems, to innocent random new users who are literally paying for the privilege of inheriting a hot mess.
Fair enough. It just became too much of a risk to put your full private self out there on the internet unless you're a special kind of DGAF, I think.
Wild that people are instantly kneejerking about this, news and politics on social is such a tire fire, but it seems like a lot of people can't parse that out from news and politics also being important.
I handed in an assignment in my C class in college that used this algorithm for the sorting part of the assignment.
Economics of road trains plus battery swapping will be disastrous. You will need many times more batteries than even other large BEV trucking ideas.

In reality, it's pretty much a guarantee that hydrogen displaces batteries for most cases, and likely all of heavy transport. The mistake critics are making is assuming that this must be expensive. But just like other types of renewable energy, this is actually heading towards nearly zero.

You should visit. A dialect that millions of people speak separated by thousands of km, income, and livelihood is not equivalent to the language difference between Swiss Cantons, it's closer to the difference between Lombardi and Napoli. Just look at the driving, forget language.
Well they were indeed sleeping through the interview. Otherwise I don't know how could one possibly claim that a program whose first statement is a sequential loop over all values of the input has "constant time" asymptotic complexity.

You can simply flip the hierarchy - the top-level headline should be the person, and the subheading should be the room. That would make exactly the example you give easier, as all the information is collected in one place. And you don’t risk filling in that the person is in two rooms at the same time.

I ran the Apple Enterprise account for a municipality in Denmark. I don't usually have a work device, partly because I don't want to bother with the taxation rules but mainly because I just don't want two devices.

Anyway, what I did was that I got our IT department to create an Apple account that wasn't exactly tied to a specific person and use that to create the municipality owner account. You'll have to go through Apple verification which involves real world phone class, but once we were done with that process, I added my own account with admin rights. This way I didn't have the issue of not having a "work" device while also making sure the municipality would keep owner rights with no issues if I died.

I think our biggest issue was actually the payment. Usually you won't want to tie a credit card to enterprise payments because credit cards run out, but with Apple we had to. So we had to set up alarms and stuff to remind IT to renew it.

Ideally you wouldn't want to do much of that, but unless Apple has changed their ways they are still just terrible at selling products to enterprise and you'll likely have to make do. Just make sure the "owner" account isn't a personal account that can't be transferred when an employee leaves.
No-one is actually breaking into a bank and stealing $$ from your account.

Virtually most of the fraud is happening due to customer's own fault, not strictly bank's fault:

1. installed malware and got all saved CC data stolen

2. website you ordered your widgets got hacked and your CC stolen

3. clicked phish linked and lost your online bank credentials

4. got scammed and sent zelle to a scammer

5. used shady website to order deeply discounted electronics / signed up for adult membership website - and gave your CC data right into hands of fraudsters

6. used shady third party ATM in tourist place like Cancun and got your card skimmed etc

7. used same user/pass credentials for online banking, as your email account, and your online bank got taken over
As an artist its totally pointless, no hashtags mean no discoverability. Intagram itself is overrun with pointless AI so forget anyone seeing your work. there. This seems barely a WIP anyway, they only released it because of Twitter imploding.

what does intermediate graphics library mean?
Great, just don't talk about anything interesting or profound on our platform.
Mostly:

* Logs: If my unprivileged user gets compromised, there's a much better chance that I can figure out what the attacker did if he can't wipe his traces as root.

* Money: I use a different unprivileged user for general use and for banking, so a compromise of my general purpose user doesn't immediately mean that my banking stuff gets compromised.

* Lateral escalation: Similarly I use another user to verify the checksums or PGP signatures of Windows/Linux images, so I don't end up booting a compromised image even if I download it from a compromised browser.

The ptrace issue you mention can be avoided by using the Yama LSM.

You mention that you tried Flakpak for isolation. If you set up a well-protected root account, along with multiple unprivileged users, you can also get isolation, but between different security contexts rather than different applications. It is less convenient than Flatpak for daily use, but is extremely mature and doesn't require any of the extra layers (user namespaces, bind mounts, proxies...) that Flatpak uses.
When I was a student, a lot of people played on one guy’s machine. I got lucky with a polymorph trap and by dog became a Xorn. Inevitably I died and that bones file became the absolute bane of the other player’s existence.

Someone finally beat it and then, of course, conscripted me to spend the next half hour trying to remember what exactly I’d dropped.
> I still don’t understand why there isn’t a manual override with a staff member sitting in a racing sim 24x7 who can “jack in” to any deployed vehicle and take over.

Maybe it's harder for a car company to disclaim responsibility for accidents that do occur, if there is always the potential for a human driver to take over. Suddenly they can't say "well we couldn't have prevented this", because they now could have.
