This feels like an attempt to cash in on modern western antipathy to Russia to win an argument. I would not call Russia especially homogenous, especially dangerous or especially poor. It has modest crime that is relatively low for its income level (which is globally around the low-middle end of the spectrum). Crime in Russia is higher than China, but lower than Mexico (two countries with similar GDP/capita). Russia is also pretty diverse and it has a long history of being a diverse multi-ethnic empire. Commentators in during the Napoleonic Wars even mentioned how the diversity of the Russian empire was a point of national pride. A huge variety of peoples live within the borders of Russia: Kalmyks, Cossacks, Tartars, Russians, Jews, Baltic/Volga Germans, Belorussians, Ukrainians, Finns/Karelians, Moldovans, Georgians, Chechens, Turkmen, Armenians... The fact that the leadership of the Soviet Union passed from a Jew (Lenin) to a Georgian (Stalin) to a Ukrainian (Kruschev) to a Russified Ukrainian from Siberia (Brezhnev) would suggest that the country has a very different attitude toward ethnicity than who it is construed in the context of America.

esjeon is simply wrong; this study is not touting the accuracy of wikipedia's knowledge. It's touting their bot's ability to accurately convey wikipedia's knowledge. It's very much about the qualities of their bot, not the qualities of wikipedia.

Not that I'd be surprised if it were, but did you perhaps try to access that account from an unusual location or device?

I ask because I had the same thing happen to a little-used Twitter account of mine. Killing time while on vacation in a foreign company, I attempted to log in, and failed. Not sure if the failure was my fault or Twitter's. Nonetheless the outcome was the same -- the account was suspended for "breaking rules", despite not posting anything. An appeal failed, and I lost the account permanently.

Any e-mails with PII or other information considered sensitive is supposed to be encrypted, which is at least one reason contractors get CACs and .mil e-mails of their own, so they're able to send encrypted e-mails.

Given what can be figured out by collecting thousands of hotel itineraries or whatever is actually being leaked here, it may just be the DoD needs to crack down and expand the definition of what is considered sensitive.
What do you use for C++? I was planning to integrate clangd into my setup soon.
The problem is that it's so resistant that there isn't any debate. Those in favor of "no change" have a huge thumb on the scale, both in amendments and in legislation. There is no reason for them to ever engage in debate when simply saying "no" suits them.

Even when something has overwhelming support, it can be nearly impossible. Often, people will support something (as they indicate to pollsters) but vote against it because of the ties of politics: "I'll vote against the thing that bugs you if you'll vote against the thing that bugs me".

We've had no nontrivial amendments in half a century, and even nontrivial laws are rare. The national conversation has taken a nosedive, and I believe a considerable piece of it is that there is a large minority who benefits from nothing happening. Any "compromises" happen by skirting the rules: Supreme Court judgments, Executive branch declarations, and other actions that bypass the intended routes of discussion.
this is 'cool but stupid'.

Running a relay into the car to a switch thats protected just moves a analog electrical problem somewhere else, it' still just two wires to jump at the end of the day

What you want is what smarter cars have, integration to the ECU. So you put in the wrong key, it does a crypto exchange with the ecu, and the ECU won't crank. Even if you crank it by jumping the solenoid, it won't power the fuel pump, the computer will still say 'I am off' sorry no fuel no timing, nothing.
Considering most developed countries have strict gun controls, the US is unique and you can't really apply the issues of guns to anywhere else.

But a lot of pro-gun advocates cite that they want guns to protect themselves.

My general point stands. If everyone around you is part of your "in" group, you're more likely to be willing to help them out and less likely to see them as a threat.

I would like to believe that most people are able to transcend racial, ethnic, religious, or even national boundaries to help their fellow man.

However, reality shows me this is not the case.
Thanks for that tip! I wasn’t aware this is an option. I might be able to make that work in the short term.
A 100 W continuous load would represent almost 15% of my electricity usage. An average US household uses ~1215 W averaged across a year[0], so 100 W is ~8%, which I'd say is still pretty significant. A more power hungry CPU like a Ryzen 9 7950X (170 W TDP) would be almost a quarter of my electricity consumption at full power (and if you use more energy for AC than heating, then it'll add additional load to keep your home at the temperature you want).

If we ran the post office or certain public transit at a profit, they wouldn't be the services they are today. You admit this. Post office wouldn't run daily service 6 days a week. They wouldn't run last mile to millions of people. Public transit wouldn't serve unprofitable communities. So no, they couldn't operate the same way.

Hand-waving that away because it is wealth redistribution is invalid.

Profit is not a prerequisite of value.

Profit should not be the driving force of every mechanism in society.

Caveat, not every public service which costs money is able to cost too much. Rejecting the profit motive is not equal to rejecting a bounded budget for programs.
I'd argue your 3rd point is more based in the reality of movies that involve unique cars (Gone in 60 Seconds, etc).

Most unique rides are typically stolen due to owner laziness(leaving keys on top of a tire, keys in the visor, left running, etc.).

Losing those buttons was a pretty serious usability hit that has never been made up for with touch screens.
My kei truck is actually a replacement for my Tacoma (had to sell it because it was starting to fall apart). I wanted something to fill the gap. It's always nice to have a truck bed available for hauling random stuff, but it was during the used car boom and Tacomas seem to hold their value (everything was expensive). Not since I first got my license have I had so much fun driving. It's like a right-hand drive, manual transmission go-kart.

I've hauled bikes, lumber, furniture, rocks and soil for landscaping. Unfortunately, it's no good on the highway, so long distances are out, and your knees are the crumple zone, so I drive the same way I bike...hyper-vigilant and try to anticipate danger. Still worth it.

Not trying to persuade you, I just love to talk about my truck!

I don't disagree with you, but there are a lot of companies (mine included) that don't care if they stand out. I need a website so people believe I'm a real company; as a place to convey basic information about our product and team; and as a place to provide information on how to get in touch. It's a chore to make it and I'm happy to just phone it in.
OK fair enough that would indeed suck ;).

True, the solution very obviously to reduce poverty. It's a social problem, not an engineering nor a policing problem.
Yeah it was published at ACL ( https://aclanthology.org/2023.findings-acl.426/ ) which is one of the most prestigious conferences in NLP. So kinda disappointing.

But paper reviewers are usually not supposed to look at the actual source code of the papers, and definitely don't try to reproduce the results. They just read the paper itself, which of course doesn't talk about the error.

Not sure what the best solution is, other than having the most "hyped" papers double verified by researchers on Twitter.

You can get tests that see if you have antibodies for the non-spike regions of SARS-CoV-2. The vaccines only made anti-spike antibodies and people who were infected will have antibodies to other regions of the virus that the vaccine that did not target.
It prevents the data between you and the requester from being read or tampered with in-transit.

Phoenix is having anything but a normal summer.

The beginning was was cooler. Now it's way hotter than normal and breaking records for consecutive days.

The humidity is so high we should be in monsoon season, but it's so hot there is no cloud formation.

I don't watch the MSM, and I don't know what they are pushing, but it's absolutely no where near a normal Summer in Phoenix.

Edit: Evidence from NWS

The record longest number of days in a row with low temps in the 90s in Phoenix has been reached at 8 days! The low this morning at Sky Harbor was 95 degrees which breaks the previous record warm low of 93 degrees.

Another hot day (and week) ahead, with today expected to tie the record for Phoenix of most consecutive days of high temperatures reaching or exceeding 110 degrees at 18 days.
This is why I like this site! That’s such a great idea.

Wow I had never heard of element()!

Along similar lines, HyperCard had a lockScreen flag that would stop sending draw commands to the screen, and instead buffer them internally, so that the screen would update once drawing was finished. It's such a powerful abstraction that much of the hand-waving we do today to avoid redraw would just go away, including nearly all of the effort that goes into building single-page applications (SPAs), because their functionality can be simulated by simply locking the screen and fetching new HTML from the server as a dumb terminal so the loading bar doesn't animate:

<rant>

To a first-order approximation, all apps/libraries/frameworks are missing critical functionality like this. The most common design mistake is to provide a setter without a getter, or vice versa. Another one is for a console app to provide a config file setting, with no way to override that as a shell argument to the executable. There are dozens, if not hundreds of these common anti-patterns, so statistically the odds of any piece of software having any of one of them can be considered to be 100%.

So in this case, most "modern" browsers provide a way to render the screen image from an HTML description, but no way to retrieve that image. The canvas element is a band-aid over these original design mistakes. A proper DOM implementation would look like iframes (windows) all the way down, where the contents could be specified from url, attributes, html, vectors/buffers or code. Each would have its own sandbox attributes defaulting to full isolation, so could be treated as its own browser, then their data dependencies could be piped together, a bit like unix executables. Mashups/portals/aggregators would be so easy to build that kids would be doing it.

It's a serious enough problem that honestly I don't really think in terms of HTML/CSS/Javascript anymore. I work in tables mentally, then let the designers transpile that description to CSS. And the real work of building the rich interactions available in desktop programming simply can't be done without massive yak shaving. This was also a problem in OpenGL before better access to render buffers and shaders went mainstream.

IMHO this all started when Netscape became a private enterprise from its Mosaic roots, then was exacerbated when Microsoft monopolized the browser market for so many years, then cemented when Firefox and Chrome endorsed the status quo. The only way out now would probably be to formally build a programmer's browser from scratch with hard security constraints around the core element's external communication, then emulate the current HTML/CSS/Javascript experience we're used to. Sort of like Qt, Postscript, etc. Which of course will never happen, so it's hard to see the positive in discussing these foundational decisions when there's nothing any of us can do to fix them in any reasonable amount of time/money/effort.
Yep, it's another "security" solution that is dead on arrival
So: good (chess) players spend more time mentally countering their proposed moves before moving.

For developers or managers on HN, one outcome would be that it's best to start one's career in testing, or to respect the resumes of those who started in QA. If/since there are hundreds of ways things can break, it's a harder problem to show how it will, or prove it won't; and building a mental library of fault models helps in vetting designs and implementations.

Or, we could teach fault models directly, instead of accumulating by experience. See e.g., Robert Binder, "Testing Object-oriented Systems" (and ignore the model-driven-development gloss from later editors).

But the most important note is the aside: the author avoids chess as addictive. Should we ask ourselves: how can this be? Should that change how I think about my own work?

In Arizona there are fire subscriptions offered by fire departments to property owners adjacent to but outside their jurisdiction. Voters had rejected a tax.

In one are of Tennessee they would rescue people but let structures burn if they did not subscribe. This was an unpopular policy and they now bill non-subscribers for fire service.

I hate Wikipedia (and you should too) – J.J. McCullough [video]
Last year I did this with an elderflower cordial, but I followed a recipe for lemon curd (substituting Belvoir Farms) rather than using 350 mL (!!) of the pH 3 liquid in a pastry cream. I ended up adding a little powdered sugar while beating the frosting because I thought it should be thicker. It got rave reviews from the intended audience.

Apps have the advantage of handling lots of tasks and extra stuff. I have my chores in Todoist with various repeating schedules. I think I have almost 100 of them from do every week to once a year. I guess I could make paper lists of the different schedules and then each weekend figure out which ones need to be done, but the app does it for me.

I started carrying my phone with me while doing chores so I could more easily check off tasks. Carrying a piece of paper, or using text document like someone else mentioned, would be less immediate.

I think this is one of the main benefits of the cloud. Chips are expensive and chips at cloud providers will achieve the highest utilisation rates.

So if you want to use resources in the best possible way and have a stable and quick internet connection, then switch to the smallest CPU that can run your system and use a cloud instance for heavy compute tasks. If you are able to scale compute up and down quickly and assume that chips continue advancing (e.g., miniaturisation and advanced packaging), then it might be even cheaper than owning a chip.

> 53° C (127.4° F) is extreme, even for Death Valley.

This. And we're not even in the hottest part of the year yet. I'd like to see the wet bulb temperatures too, but I'm guessing they're in the low 70's because of their low humidity. So it's technically possible for humans to survive that level of heat there given enough water and shade, though we'd probably see deaths in the eldest and youngest populations regardless.

But should you move the location much in any direction, and you'd have conditions which would require artificial cooling for any human to survive.

> I've never understood why people and to extend vim to try to make it half of an IDE.

Because vim ships with any *nix machine and provides a consistent experience no matter where you use it.

Vim is the DE part and people add plugins or whatever to enrich the text editing experience with LSPs or other language aware plugins, and the I in IDE is in the form of the integration with the tooling already available on the host.

> This is not true. Every city in the US used to have a robust public transit system. No cars or parking lots needed.

That WAS true, but that's not the reality that's shaping planning now. Further, many central business districts have been eroded by cars + big box suburbanization, so that many of those essentials are only obtainable in areas that never even had transit or didn't exist when transit was still a thing.

In the past, I had the good fortune to live car-free for many years in a US city with a working transportation system. Not having to account for the car was actually liberating, despite having to plan my adventures a bit more carefully to align with said transit systems.

I am a developer on a team of developers for a large data and interaction-rich website and we've watched the stats morph over the past 8 years from 23% mobile to 23% desktop. It's been a very swift revolution. I do a lot of QA on my phone now. I have been a Firefox proponent for at least ten years and resolved to do most of my QA on FF since I was most familiar with its features. Something that is very irksome about iOS is I can't suppress ads on Firefox on ios but I can on Safari. So Safari has become my main mobile browser. I'd love to keep pushing FF into the future- and still use it as my main desktop browser- but I can't advocate its use at least on iOS because of the ads issue.
