You're not addressing what I said. I recognize that African-Ammericans are generally very disadvantaged by a multitude of factors that they had no control over. However, a drastic change in culture that embraces education could improve outcomes signficantly, and ample government support could boost this to the point of actual equality being viable in a few generations. I don't remember if it was Kenyan, Nairobi, or other immigrants, but I remember reading about certain African-American immigrants being focused on education and doing fairly well (don't remember how well), like the Chinese immigrants mentioned upthread.
As far as I understand, VS 2022 is also written in .NET Framework. I am not sure exactly which version though.

Good luck.
But... it's not at all indicative of SwiftUIs overall qualities. Whoever developed the new settings app made choices that were not great using a framework that at this point could very easily support a better one, or the original one. Even down to the toggle control using more of an iOS style, that's just a SwiftUI modifier that can either render more traditional macOS style checkboxes or a toggle switch.

It definitely has some tricky bits to get used to, some strange paradigms, but it's actually pretty good atm.
I've been wanting to give OpenBSD an honest shot on the desktop for years, but going back to X has always been a deal breaker for me (HiDPI and mixed/scaled DPI support, and tear-less graphics, are hard requirements that X handles horribly - yes, before the X apologists brigade me, I know because I used to hack X into horribly supporting these things).

This could finally let me dive into the only BSD that really catches my attention for potential to switch over - I applaud this effort!
I mean yah you can hang out at Noisebridge but my experience was mostly creepy guys on Macintoshes trying to get me to fiddle with padlocks under their camcorders.
> what is way bigger now is the number of packages carried back from the Debian base image (required to use PyTorch instead of Alpine), to be more precise 429 packages with an insane number of known vulnerabilities, even if this image is the latest stable Python 3.11 release.

Most security checking tools are incompatible with how Debian (and Ubuntu) deal with security issues: they backport security fixes to existing packages shipped with their stable distribution releases (so you'd have openfoo-1.4.3-debian4 instead of eg. openfoo-1.5.1, yet it wouldn't be vulnerable even if 1.4.3 upstream was).

While there is a caveat about false positives, I think it's irrelevant in the context of Debian since I trust Debian more than the tool author used.
Got it. I'm the dev tools guy at my job right now, and we have a mix of Linux and Mac users, so I've gotta make sure that any shell I write works on both. For me, POSIX seems to be a good indicator of the intersection between the two OSs, even though the true intersection is neither a superset nor subset of POSIX (eg, Mac has bash, which isn't POSIX shell). Oh well. It's close enough to be useful, and I test it all manually anyway.

I played this game and holy cow, it's not just biased but it's consistently biased. Granted we don't know what the prompt looks like, so the biases could be embedded in the prompt as opposed to the model.
A charitable reading suggests this is paid out to just one city, which would seem to be about right (If you value a house at $100K, then $1B would cover ruining the water supply of 10,000 houses. A city could easily contain 100,000 such buildings.

A less charitable reading is that it covers 300 cities. Maybe they can filter the municipal water supply of that many cities in perpetuity with currently unavailable commercial filter technology?

If it is nationwide, then $10b is a bad punchline.
The "2019 model" is still better than most of the AI models out there, including Bard. Also they're releasing a new one very soon, but it'll likely be more restricted. The downside is the comparatively high prices and therapy is on the border of violating its usage policy (diagnosing people with mental health): https://openai.com/policies/usage-policies

Tesla advertises that they can handle vastly more than that, and allows you to use their self driving in those different environments. The issue isn't that there are situations it can handle. The problem is that it routinely cannot, and the "driver must always be fully aware and ready to take control with no advance warning" is used purely to shift liability for failings in their own product.

I guess a good equivalent would be to imagine you have ABS brakes, but then one day you have to brake suddenly, and the ABS fails and they lock. The Tesla model would be to say "if the ABS system fails during emergency braking you are required to take over, and you can't sue us if this happens and causes an accident"

I'm actually surprised you opted for VS97. I would think, far more developers between '95 and '02 would be more acquainted with VS6. Mostly due to it's exceedingly generous (relative to later) licensing terms and inclusion of VB classic. I don't think I used any Visual Studio environment other than 6 until well into XP and 2000's tenure. It sounds like your own experience was relatively similar.

This seems to be using a low quality model, as I have seen logical inconsistencies from one sentence to the next. I think even GPT-3.5 doesn't usually make such errors, but I haven't used it for a while so I am not sure what its current state is. Does anyone know if the creator has explained which model they are using? (I tried to view his twitter page but was blocked)

> Kiwi farms was a haven for degenerate anti social wanna be mass murderer.

No it wasn’t. Both in life and in death William Atchison was made fun of by the members of multiple communities, gaining the posthumous nickname “Couch Cuck”. A “haven” for murderers would not obsessively archive information relating to murderers, such as social medias (which consistently delete the information to avoid being associated), prior convictions, etc with the intent to study and publicly shame them. One can argue of the efficacy of this, but it is no different than what MSM does. In fact, KiwiFarms can be attributed to the destruction of a CP/animal torture ring and multiple arrests, due to their archival efforts and Internet sleuthing.

Additionally, on the topic of “reprehensible behavior”, companies like CloudFlare happily accept money from animal abuse websites. And under every metric KiwiFarms is legal under US law. So while companies are legally allowed to disassociate for almost any reason, we have to ask why illegal websites remain while legal ones are disassociated. And considering CloudFlare initially sided with KiwiFarms, it truly is not as clear cut as “they found the content disagreeable”.

On topic to your off topic, I was definitely not expecting KiwiFarms to mentioned either.

Disagree, it’s often best to leverage the profit motive as a tool for achieving your values-based mission, and companies are usually the best way to do that.

Companies scale up more effectively than NGOs, attract investment much more easily, and can undertake a wider array of activities to achieve their mission. Then there’s C-corps etc if you want to make it explicit.

Also potentially dangerous.

If you drink a gallon of distilled water all at once, it could screw up electrolyte balance. Screwy potassium levels can cause heart fibrillation.

I would guess that the risk of water that's coming from reverse osmosis is safe for routine use, in the context of a healthy diet.

Which was more than we could say about actual planes, before a couple of weirdos got off their asses and actually built one.

But it seems there's something about this problem that's different, almost like it doesn't allow itself to be analyzed, or even noticed. "Some day" humanity will reach the oft-discussed but never pursued world of widespread critical thinking seems to be the plan, without having even taken the first step towards it.

Noteworthy: I am far from the first person who has noticed this phenomenon.
If you do end up preprocessing the geotiff and if you already have the pipeline to give terrain elevation to user I guess you could also only encode the difference between lidar and radar in your tiles, in order to have only trees data on top of your already served terrains data. The objects you are encoding and the precision you need could fit in as small as 4 bits, with lots of zeros that could be compressed away ? Just a brainstormy kind of comment.

Plus, many companies abuse what I assume is an exemption to spam rules by pretending that their marketing emails are “service related”.

Xfinity is the worst about this. They’ll send me a so-called service-related email exhorting me to download their app. Same with Capital One and their monthly emails asking me to turn on automated texts.
Because it got marked as spam?

Because it's burried among lots of other similar looking emails that's just marketing garbage?

Because the email wasn't delivered?

Because the customer was on vacation and they expect a reply very quickly?

There's plenty of valid reasons to miss an email.

My last experience at a busy Apple Store was walking in, finding the iPod home I wanted to buy, scanning the UPC and serial code with my Apple Store app on my phone and clicking purchase then walking out without hassle or having to talk to a single person.

This wont happen if you want to buy a phone or MacBook, but with accessories and things you can self-checkout, it’s pretty seamless.

> DuPont scientists then conducted tests on humans, asking a group of volunteers to smoke cigarettes laced with C8.

This is definitely not my area, but ... was this a good experiment to do? I don't just mean from an ethical standpoint (though that seems super sketch), but purely as an experiment to understand how this chemical impacts the human body, this seems not great?

(a) if you smoke a cigarette, isn't the actual dose of C8 taken in by each subject likely to be both variable and hard to measure? Different subject would have just exhaled vs absorbed different amounts of C8, right? So it seems like you get a less precise dosing than most other means of getting it into the body?

(b) couldn't this have been toxic in the lungs in a way which wouldn't have been relevant to other/more typical means of exposure? Does reacting badly to something inhaled as smoke really imply anything about the impact of touching or ingesting it? I'm pretty sure e.g. that cayenne smoke would cause you problems that touching or eating that same substance would not cause.

Taking the region off line and making the data inaccessible at the same time was a big wrong call. I won’t hash over the other good suggestions here, but I would throw out there you should have turned off all data plans APIs for at least a month before deleting a byte of data. Nothing wakes up the customers attention than everything suddenly failing.

I think the attitude that “you pay us money so you better read every email we send” is at odds with reality.

1) why do you believe a single human being has that email address? As a company of any size I would never assign a human to a vendor email address. Turnover and rogue employee risks are too high for that. Usually these vendor emails are black holes only used to establish the account and recover credentials if needed. Or, it ends up in the hands of a vendor relations person who is more an accountant than engineer. Do you get the emails from GCP and AWS directly in your inbox?

2) because I pay you money I expect the opposite of the relationship you articulated. I’m not here to read your emails. If it’s really important then use my account manager to contact me. Make a phone call. Email is for spam - ESPECIALLY when it’s from a vendor. I view it as “I’m paying you money, vendor, so you need to go out of your way to give me excellent service” not “I’m paying you money so your emails are incredibly important to me I hang on your every dispatch”.

What baffles me is why on earth did you guys delete the data? I get you couldn’t afford to run the region for whatever reason. But you should have retained all the data. Storage isn’t that expensive.
> No, they aren’t.

Very convincing argument. Also, that's maybe the one part of this discussion that can't be debated. Possession of illegally obtained property, intellectual or otherwise, is illegal. Always has been, always will be. It's bizarre for you to be claiming otherwise.

> While copyright violation is often metaphorically (or hyperbolicly) referred to as stealing [...]

You are making a pedantic argument about the term "stealing," which is annoyingly pointless given the rest of that sentence (which you conveniently didn't quote) acknowledges the debate about the term. However, there's no debate to be had. The courts have clarified that violating intellectual property is still a denial of owed compensation (theft), but instead prefer the term "infringe" to make clear the distinction between violating physical rights (criminal) and violating intellectual rights (civil).

It's still a violation of copyright to be in possession of works obtained via illegal reproduction. You have zero fair use protections for illegally reproduced content. You are still breaking the law. You are still stealing via denial of compensation. The courts have already clarified all of this. Your pedantry doesn't change any of that.
Parent and GP were talking about where the burden of proof lies. That's a matter of opinion, but one that should generally be considered settled on Hacker News. Apparently it isn't. Anyways, while parent made a somewhat snarky reply, yours isn't better. If parent was shown discussing "actual" points (for example, the vaccine question) with an absurdly high bar for proof from the other side, your reply would be relevant. As it is, there doesn't seem to be anything egregiously wrong about parent's reply about the vaccine question. Perhaps the evidence or reasoning is wrong, but you didn't address that.
