It's basically correct. It's the first 102 digits, rather than 50, but they're right.
Lead paint and lead in gasoline is a helluva drug, thats why.
Vectors and perhaps matrices are about the only valid use case I have ever come across, so I agree with GP that it's not worth it. And that's speaking as someone who once implemented a path class with a subtraction operator that would return the relative path between two absolute ones. I thought I was very clever. I feel sorry for the developers who had to figure out what that was about after I left..
well, that's what I'm hoping. We'll see what manufacturer make of the regulations.
I went about depdup in a similar but opposite way then you did - https://github.com/mgolub2/photodb

I used libraw to read the actual raw data from my images, ignoring possible metadata that can get changed/updated by Capture One for example. The raw data is just fed into a hashing function, to get an exact content hash. Does not work if your image is down-sampled of course, but that was actually my goal - I want to know if the raw content has changed/bit flipped, but don't care if the metadata is altered or missing.
Also, airlines over sell flights as part of their pricing model.

Passengers are penalized for using their tickets too.

Having operators defined for value types within the langauge spec is different thing than defining operator overloading for arbitrary struct and class types.

For numeric value types mathematical operators are the only sane option.

For arbitrary classes - not so much.

A sane language in the slot of C++ in the language ecosystem would not have operator overloading. It would have matrix types defined in the language spec with mathematical operators operating on them.
I’m sure Meta no longer wishes to suck down data they shouldn’t and has stopped doing so in all of their products. /s

Hard to believe that this is considered "novel" I thought everyone knew this was fair game. It is so obvious. PinePhone and Pureism/Librem have hardware enabled switching for this reason.
> Flying to Charlotte instead of New York, at a cheaper price, is stealing.

This is perversion of morality at its peak. Just because the airline prices the direct flights higher than an indirect flight through a connection doesn't mean you're stealing. To suggest that the airline's right to profit (from a practice of questionable ethics) outweighs my right as a consumer to leave the airport and cancel the rest of my trip is outrageous. To call this "stealing" as though you're taking the property of the airline. Nothing is "stolen" here. If I go to a restaurant and pay for a three course meal, but decide I'm full after two courses, the restaurant can't sue me for not eating a third plate.

The kid in this article wasn't even in violation of a contract: just because he intended to leave the airport doesn't mean he'd violated a contract yet. I can't even imagine how the airline would take action against a passenger for this. Talk about thoughtcrime.
You could buy FP3 new with /e/, though I installed it myself, currently on Android 12, last update June 15.
How do you not get caught? Surely they notice when you are not on the last flight?
Wow. Beautifully articulated.

What a pleasant reply to read. I don’t have an argument regarding my position other than I agree that what you’re saying is true and that getting people like me to care and make sacrifices not just today but every day in a long term way is what makes hard problems hard.
The country in which it was being used, most likely. And this would effectively give a big advantage to countries that aren't so strict.

That feels like the point of the article to me. If we aren't careful, regulations might have really unwanted impacts.
Trade. Professional services. Finance. Solar/wind power. Tax havens.

For centuries the middle east saw very wealthy kingdoms based on nothing more than taxing the asia-europe trade passing through their lands. Arguably Saudi Arabia is founded on a tourist/pilgrim trade (Mecca).

Lithium batteries are used mainly in transportation. And we're already shifting towards them, because they're just plain better.

If we were to start over from scratch, the whole notion of covering the landscape with chemical dispensers would be considered absurd: smelly, toxic, and inconvenient. Why wouldn't you just go home and plug your car into your house? Why have a car with thousands of precision moving parts when you can just have a battery on an oversized skateboard?

We already have electric distribution infrastructure. It needs to be upgraded, but not created from scratch. The only thing that needs large lithium batteries is vehicles. You can use different chemistries for stable objects like the grid itself, or your house -- which is a nice bonus, in that you can run your house even when the infrastructure is down.

And then you can let a whole separate parallel energy infrastructure degrade and vanish. No more gas pipelines or gasoline tankers as we gradually get rid of the dependencies on them. It's not "current infrastructure" forever: it has to be maintained. If we're going to do maintenance anyway, why not put it into the existing electric grid rather than both that and the fossil fuel system?
Cost is probably negligible as phones had removable batteries since the beginning, even cheap ones.
what's the trade-in value after that?
Hacker news may be giving this site the hug of death. https://web.archive.org/web/20230711163359/https://retrofort...

Retro is an interesting Forth platform because it has numerous features not present in more traditional Forth systems, such as the ability to create closures and first class literals while still maintaining compactness that would be expected of a Forth system.

It was originally meant for desktop scripting but has been ported to tiny devices like microcontrollers.

It is worth a look if you are even mildly curious about Forth
>forced to buy another ticket because he was suspected of using Skiplagged

It doesn't matter if he used skiplagged or not.. using skiplagged to book tickets is not against AA policy.

He was suspected of planning on not using his second leg ticket.

That is to say, the airline punished him before he did anything wrong, which is the part we should be discussing.
> Not even a little consideration for this has made manufacturers ditch removable batteries. The primary driver has been increased capacity, followed closely by the ability to make them much thinner and develop water resistant handsets. All other reasons are so far below these they aren't even worth mentioning.

Oh give me a break! It obviously makes more money to have things non-trivially-user-servicable - especially wear items like a battery.
Thanks. Did you finish the api training part?

In the case linked in the article, Ariely claims to have received the data from a researcher who not only denies doing it but also points out specific things that are implausible about the construction of the study and the description of how the research was done doesn't align with how she'd have done it or normal university policy

Which points towards either him fabricating it himself, or asking somebody else to give him results without going through normal procedures for registering/conducting the experiment and then naming someone else as responsible for it...

I do think there are cases where academics will have unwittingly published falsified or partly false data and sometimes even garnered fame and citations for it x, and no doubt many more where the academics spot issues with the data they've received and bin it, but this doesn't look like one of them.
Again, no thanks. I want mathematical notation and I simply won't use any language without operator overloading. Free functions for common mathematical operations are an abomination.

16GB of RAM is adequate for Qubes, in practice you end up running a handful of Xen VMs, with most of the VMs (vault, disposable,...) using little RAM.
Yeah, if Microsoft wants to compete, they need to build great game making culture, not just spend lavish amounts of money to acquire all the independent studios out there after the Bethesda acquisition for $8B. Now Activision for $70B. What next?...Nintendo for $150B?.

And using monopolistic profits from other tech businesses like Enterprise software/cloud. And maybe in the future AI profits with OpenAI.

We've had enough of a future controlled by Big Tech. The goal in all cases should be to make them smaller, not more powerful.

Absolutely. The first question you should ask (in no uncertain terms) is: "Am I being detained?"

Even with a police officer involved.

There are laws about private citizens detaining you (kidnapping laws).

There are laws on how long a police officer can detain you. https://law.justia.com/constitution/us/amendment-04/14-deten...

I suspect it's because they make money off extorting businesses who get bad reviews and not off users trying to research companies.

Why have a geofilter if the vast majority of people are logging into the site to see if anyone is talking shit about $COMPANY and the only way to make money is if $COMPANY pays you off to take those posts down?
> “… taken to a security room by American Airlines. There he was interrogated – and forced to buy a new ticket

I find it staggering a corporation has the ability to detain and interrogate a citizen who bought a product from them and dared to use it. What on earth is going on here.

Imagine if you were at the mall and Apple Store employees tried to drag you into a back room because you bought a laptop from them that they suspect you'll use to try and decrypt things they don't want you to.
A system that "predicts the next token" in such a way that it is indistinguishable from a human, is just like a human in practice yes.

How does a human decide which word to use in your mind? Magic?

No, it's a logically based biological/neurological process through which at the end of it, you've decided on a word. They are both forms of computing that can produce largely indistinguishable output... doesn't matter that one is biological and the other isn't
I wish that Java had it, so that adding and multiplying BigDecimals would not look as ugly as it does
detained: to hold or keep in or as if in custody

> according to the boy’s father

Who wasn’t present.

The airline may have asked nicely and the son complied and never tried or asked to leave. That’s not being detained. We will probably only know the details if this goes to court and it comes out or if video of the interaction is released.
I definitely don't think they are inherently better. I'm sure some of them are good, but the real problem I see, as I already pointed out, is that shareholders have less ability to hold management to account than in more traditional business structures.

Nope, it's not guaranteed. They warn you in the OpenAI docs that it might hallucinate inexistent parameters.
Same here, I'm really going to miss that. I've been using the discontinued lower-end NUCs from eBay as home servers and they're amazing for that purpose.

> Have we experimentally recreated a sun and verified any of the theoretical models we have?

Yes it was called the Cold War.

Little tiny suns, but all those H-bombs (and reactors like the NIF and Z-pinch) verified quite a lot of the fundamentally identical physics.
Mostly right... since iOS came out there has been an app called maps, which was using google apis until iOS6, which is the point people started differentiating "Apple Maps" and "Google maps".

IIRC, one of the big reasons it was an upsetting change is there wasn't an option to change default apps and google didn't even have a maps app when iOS6 dropped, so if someone sent you an address, or you clicked on an address link, it always would open in the apple version. Which at the time was dogshit terrible, it was like stepping back in time 5 years.
As a phone 1 user I'm offended . The backlights are a significant trick to invoke minimalism in smartphone use. Screens are more addictive than led lights. So it is actually useful.

This is beyond nonsense. How is having a contract that something less costs more even legal?

There should be rules that make it illegal to force contracts where they can charge more for less.

If I want to take the risk of reroutes, or want to cancel midroute in transit, that should me my right. Anything beyond that is ridiculous.
It seems to me like the kid thought he didn't have a choice but to go with them. That would be forcing him. If it was typical security/police talk, it probably went something like, "You need to come with us. We need to ask you a few questions". I'd guess most teenagers would be too intimidated and scared to do anything else. If they didn't specifically inform him that he didn't have to go with them or answer their questions, then it sounds like he was detained
I don’t blame you and agree it’s not worth getting anxious about it, but keep in mind you have grown up in an era of complete corporate take over, they’ve managed to make you believe nothing you can do matters and doing a few small things like recycling is really all you can do, when the reality if the complete opposite.

The Ozone layer was fixed because of an international agreement at the global level. Things can get fixed, and this is exactly the type of problem that can only be fixed by governments, but people have to care and get involved/vote or do whatever they can to impact decisions at a global scale.
1Gbit symmetrical. That’s the standard residential connection in my part of Japan.

In theory I could get up to double that with a different ISP, but my router doesn’t handle those kind of speeds.
I would never check a bag on a hidden city flight.
That’s not really a quantifiable measure, though. It’s a statement but not a falsifiable one, therefore not a good measure.

There’s an argument that the vast majority of human-generated research isn’t really “novel” but just derivative of other ideas. I’m not so sure ChatGPT couldn’t combine existing ideas to come up with something “novel” just like humans. I think there’s a case that it already comes up with creative, novel solutions in the drug space.

Seems not much more than a custom android for me. Do we really need a new android phone that will probably have a very short shelf life and then be abandoned?

I scanned the page but couldn't find a single appealing feature. Is there any?

Worst: the differences between nothing phone 1 and 2 include things like: "10 new ringtones and notification sounds"; but that is just content! Ok, the chipset is different, but listing something trivial like content, smells like a very locked down device for me.
Largest integer factored by Shor's algorithm?
Sure, but then what? In this case, the answer is "of course not, but if you want to go home on our airline, you talk to us first". Not everyone can eat the cost and disruption of a second (urgent!) ticket, and they know that.
I think using AI tools to generate derivative works could place the user (Not OpenAI, etc) in rightful legal jeopardy if they distribute or sell those works

I'm not sure I understand this. It is OpenAI that is scraping the copyrighted works, packaging them up into a derivative work and selling access to it.

If a user never enters a prompt asking ChatGPT to create a new ASOIAF book, pieces of those previous copyrighted books are still in OpenAI's model and available for sale by OpenAI.

Chat-GPT the LLM itself is the derivative work that OpenAI is selling access to.

I used to give all my technical presentations in Emacs. https://github.com/jrockway/eslide

I have not tested it on modern Emacs, but it was fun to write. (It basically finds the largest size that each slide can be displayed in, and displays it at that size. And it of course syntax highlights code blocks with Emacs.)
Beware the Integrated Tests Scam
Do you mean a data structure to model spacetime and gravitational bending of it, or do you mean using spacetime to store regular data?
Let's try and see if the problem can be reframed. It isn't really about reviews. It's about effective hiring. If you wanted to optimize hiring how would you do it?

Reviews might be unnecessary if candidates can collectively gather up the data that shows if a company is actually hiring, and actually reviewing resumes, and actually responding to candidates with above-generic feedback.

The reason this data isn't collected and presented is that job sites and application tracking software make their money from companies. There isn't a site that makes money from candidates to counteract this force. The power imbalance between candidate and employer is tilted in favor of the employer.

If a job post showed there are 286 applicants for a job would you bother writing a cover letter? I wouldn't. I would move on to the job posting that responds promptly and has fewer candidates.

If a job post showed there are 100 applicants, the job posting has been open for 30 days, and there are zero resume reviews, would you bother applying to this job and others like it in this company? I wouldn't. It means the employer isn't really hiring or is disfunctional enough to announce a position without giving it attention.

I'd even be willing to pay the recruiter for their time giving me somewhat helpful not legally binding feedback like we think "you're overqualified", "you're missing an important skill", "we're not sure yet". If the recruiter starts generating revenue for the company, the company might hire more of them.

I'd also be willing to recommend my friends to good companies.

CMD+R (or ctrl) to refresh the page is faster than scrolling all the way back up. Ha.
I mean I do feel a little bad in retrospect, there was probably some gate agent announcing "last call for passenger 'zugi'", and then they finally closed the doors and took off. I was sitting at home by then. There are hundreds of reasons why passengers miss flights, so I'm not sure how I'd get "caught".

The majority of time in professional codebases is not spent on typing but reading and understanding code.

"saves a bunch of time and makes code way more readable"

Not when everybody defines their own operators.

Note - we are discussing operator overloading, not operators as features in syntax. Operators at the syntax level make life a lot easier. But then everybody uses the exactly same operator semantics, not some weird per-project abstraction.

The lines of code you wrote as an example are not saving anyones time, except when writing it if you are a slow typist and lack a proper IDE support for C++. If typing speed is an issue, get a better IDE, don't write terser code.
I don't understand the logic behind charging less for two legs than for just one. That sounds incredibly shady to me, and for an airline to be able to enforce it like this should definitely be illegal.

It sounds like abuse of market power, rather than an honest supply-demand with an eye on their costs, thing. They try to extort more for the shorter trip due to artificial scarcity.
Operator overloading is critical for building ergonomic frameworks.

The modern web is built on overloading the . operator (e.g. ORMs like Rails and Django). We will never see a Tier-1 ORM in Golang simply because it lacks it.

I used it when I worked as a hiring manager. For this task it is ideal. All the behavioral security measures, like only to open attachments from people you trust, break down when your job description is basically to figure out who you can trust.

Qubes comes with a "Convert to trusted PDF" out of the box. Joanna Rutkowska explained how it works under the hood pretty nicely[1]. The tldr is that it is very thorough. With Qubes it is convenient too.

I used Qubes to open the application mails and their attachments and converted the interesting ones to trusted PDFs which I then forwarded to the relevant people. All further communication was only with the trusted versions.

The FTC is getting involved, because the goal is to make Big Tech smaller not more bigger, and more dominant through acquiring independent studios with major titles, such as they did with $7B Bethesda, and now 65B+ Activision deal. These are huge IPs, that have large amounts of players, and can give a company like MSFT huge control in gaming, and in the metaverse,etc in the future, which is another nascent field. But far off, that they have not mentioned it in the case or with the public.
