Well, no, what I'm describing is Elixir.

If your point is that the potential use cases overlap too much with Ruby, I mean, fine, write Ruby. I like Elixir more. I'm not picking either language for pure performance, but rather for ergonomic purposes, so we're into kinda subjective territory.

That's actually pretty impressive. I always assumed that AI wouldn't be too good for pixel art due to the low resolution and thus less area for the uncanny effects to be concealed.

The previous pixel AI I'd seen had this really awkward pillow shaded art-style but this is much better.
It's a start. Next time fine the carrier.
A tale of moving goalposts, as presented by constantcrying:

“Unless you can get some actual developer to testify that he was explicitly ordered to build the algorithm to report a range which he knew was impossible to reach or something similar, this seems practically irrelevant.”

“Zero evidence for that.”

When confronted with evidence that the algorithm was specifically designed to show an unrealistic, misleading, and apparently impossible to meet range based on orders from the highest authority in Tesla:

“Certainly not [evidence] for anything illegal.”
Seems OK at first glance, but if you're in a 65 then the trucks (in the right lane) will want to go 65+. Going 55 in the right lane means they all need to pass you, which causes a domino effect onto the other lanes of traffic. If you're on a 4-lane highway (2 in each direction), going 55 means that trucks that pass you will have to go in the fast lane.

If there aren't a lot of trucks around, then going 55 in the right lane has less of an impact on other drivers. But if there are many trucks (which there usually are, IME), then going 10 MPH under the limit will cause a lot of headaches for all the other drivers around you.

That's fine, since there's an on-going cost to maintain the cloud infrastructure that the game needs to function. The company is well within its rights to say "if you stop paying us, you stop getting to use our cloud services".

But if there was a single-player or LAN version of the game (I know that's not really possible with something like WoW, but for the sake of the argument...), then players should absolutely not have to pay an on-going subscription fee to play that way.
By that time I had Pegasus mail for windows in my work computer. I miss it sometimes.
But do people have any of that knowledge either? Most of the time, I don't think so -- they colorize stuff in a way that just "looks right" or "looks natural" or "looks nice" to their eye, that's all.

And the dataset an AI is going to train on should be using original color photos that are then converted to B&W across a wide variety of color curves. So it should be fairly robust to all sorts of film types. So again, I repeat that it's probably going to wind up being more accurate with regard to skin tone than a human (with their aesthetic biases) usually would.
hm so you shouldn't have been required to submit an email after the initial search (there's a check box to dismiss it).

When you say you entered some details, are you saying after you searched, saw results, and tried to book someone? If so, we are not collecting email, but actually are collecting your insurance information. We need that to get your specific out-of-pocket cost (e.g. copay, deductible, out-of-pocket max, etc.)

Do you mind trying again or emailing us at support@certainlyhealth.com with some more details?
Somewhat related, in '99 my school gave everyone shell accounts, so they could check their email through pine. But the shell accounts were pretty functional with access to command line tools, such a perl.

It took me a lot of restraint not to harvest everyone's usernames (which was just the name of the home directory easily grokked) and email everyone at username@highered.edu (since sendmail was also available) something silly during winter break- like the fact that flooding had happened in the dorm rooms, and that everyone would have to move out before Spring semester due to needed maintenance and everyone will receive $500 in compensation because everyone's stuff in their dorm was destroyed.

Surely I would have been expelled, but what a story to tell my next employer.

Anyways, looking for a QA job if anyone's hiring. I would like to break your stuff.
Depends.

If the plaintiffs have a sworn, signed statement from the person claiming that then it could be presented as evidence during the trial, subject to cross-examination.

If all they have is the article it's hearsay i.e. "evidence based not on a witness's personal knowledge but on another's statement not made under oath"

> For trains, it's not a good idea because you can more easily supply power with overhead wire and you don't even need to deal with batteries.

Rail networks with large stretches of non-electrified lines are extremely costly to upgrade, so battery-electric and hydrogen are the likely solutions unless there is massive investment in electrification. The US, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and Australia are prime examples of this.

Currently CPKC is working on a number of HFC locomotives that are showing very promising results.

Great reply!

It's either so close that you're overpaying for the 100kWH, or it's not very close in which case you're overpaying for the 50kWH.

Either way: the 50kWH is hit: carrying dead weight on a smaller capacity. A not insignificant weight.
Hollywood's Fight Against AI Will Affect Us All
Ok! That's fair!

And yea, inflation seems to be hellish outside the US+Canada.

Companies like SamaSource or Infosys can take advantage of that arbitrage by paying below a living wage because there are enough "desperate" or un/underemployed people who have higher education but aren't getting jobs that are paying a realistic/living wage.

I've seen this issue play out all over the developing world (India, Philippines, Vietnam, China, Thailand, Brazil, etc).

Millions of people in those countries are now living lives their grandparents could only dream of, education is much more democratized, and economies at a macro level are better than they were a generation ago - yet white collar/college educated salaries are still stuck at the 2000s or 2010s level because income rate conversions dropped or commodities have inflated. People are earning the same amount of money in Rupees, Yuan, Reales, Dong, etc as they would have 10-15 years ago for the same white collar job, but all of society has become much more expensive.

The part they're messing with it's "just" the infotainment system. The autopilot system and a lot of other things are "protected" by a gateway.

You'd still need Tesla's signing key to rewrite the Autopilot software or mess up some more important components.

Now, the CID is still coordinating some parts of it - but AFAIK the car works also without that, to the point that you can simply reboot the infotainment system without losing control of the vehicle / Autopilot
I think you know why: efficiency and safety. Driving fast greatly increases fuel consumption and wear on tires. It makes crashes more likely and more serious.

Why do people need to drive fast? The gains are minimal even if you stay exclusively on a lightly-trafficked freeway. In more realistic scenarios, the gains are almost nothing. You'll just be the first one to the light or traffic jam.
> In my country there are significant consumer protections around mobile phones.

That's a good point – we urgently need those same protections for e.g. things like email addresses or Google accounts.

But, yes, I do know people that are unable to port out their phone number: Sometimes it's a line on a contract in somebody else's name (minors, spouses etc.), sometimes it's a prepaid card not properly registered (although that's getting less common with the EU mandate to verify everybody's identity before activation).

Neither a phone number nor a Gmail address/Google/Facebook/... account is a good anchor of trust for digital identities.
Those are excellent examples! This kind of thing was prosecuted firmly until antitrust was “reformed” under Reagan (the law didn’t change but the FTC reinterpreted it, largely led by Bork), the new approach (consumer price doctrine) followed by every successive president until Biden. And those years of doctrine, and judges influenced by them have made it tough going. But I think the tide is slowly turning.

The consumer price doctrine (all that matters is what consumers pay, whether by a large monopolist or deep competition doesn’t matter; pick the best for each situation) is seductive: after all the whole point of government, at the end of the day, is what’s better for the people, right?

But lazy analysis meant just imagining the immediate price change for consumers; long term factors like supplier resilience, innovation, supply chain fragility et almare ignored. Also ignored is the reality from empirical data: permitting or even endorsing monopolies ends up with higher prices not lower.
I don’t understand why someone would even think about that. They are here with you now, so what if they’ve screwed around before? How does that even affect you (other than some added experience you may even profit from)

iPhone sales drop more than forecast, revenue falls for third straight quarter
It's only cheaper because it's demonstrably worse in every way. The tunnels are too small for a proper metro, it's incredibly inaccessible, loading and unloading passengers takes forever, and in the event of an issue the safety is abysmal.

The expensive part of underground metros is not really the tunnels; stations suck up all the time and budget since they can't be done by TBM and require extensive excavation. This solution doesn't do anything to address the real problem; they need the exact same giant, expensive underground caverns a real metro would need.

Montreal just opened the first phase of 67 km of grade separated, fully automated metro that can handle 2-3 minute headways all for a price tag around $7 billion CDN ($5 billion US). The REM can handle 14,000 people per per hour; this Vegas plan can only handle 4500 in a fanciful future with vehicles that don't even exist yet. REM solves real regional transportation issues. This boring company project is just a distraction from real solutions.
According to the article, that sounds like what they do. When the battery hits 50% they switch to estimating the range based on your driving on the top of the battery.
I mind Mozilla trying to find alternate revenue sources 0%. It's a good thing: Organizations like Mozilla and Brave SHOULD be making their own money and not be stuck to the Google teat.

Mozilla doesn't go about it in as upfront way as Brave does, IME, but stuff like VPN, Pocket and other browser-related services I mind not at all.

I have no sympathy to the current political shitfest that Mozilla is as an organization, but as makers of Firefox I feel like Mozilla is in an impossible bind: Their users expect a fairytale of an independent, donation-funded browser that people spontaneously adopt, and go nuts about stuff like the inclusion of Pocket. I know, I used to be one of those people back when Pocket was introduced. But reeing about Mozilla trying to have independent funding by giving people useful services is just strange. It's exactly what they should be doing, and Brave setting up revenue streams like Talk and Search is great. Especially because they operate in the normal money universe for those of us who aren't terribly enthusiastic about crypto.
tesla has two settings for range calculations, I forget what they were, but it was like realistic and ideal or similar.

EDIT: wait, I don't see it. I think there was a setting in older software?

I swear there was a range calculation setting that was like "average" and "ideal"
Then it's that country that starts legal pursuits against them ? The average person only has to complain to the authorities, they don't need to sue the company, don't they ?
I think the 100k means he doesn't really take it seriously, despite being a "rationalist" - he thinks he can buy a life partner for a relatively small sum and no effort.

He could do lots of things to meet women, beyond (also lazy) online dating - sports, classes, find a job where he meets them, volunteer, whatever. But that would take effort. Instead he wants to throw a sum that isn't particularly material to him at the problem. You get out what you put in.

While this article claims that it works with Ventoy, recent posts (by the same author himself) suggests that things aren't so clear and sunny: https://bkhome.org/news/202303/easyos-455-does-not-work-with...

A good final half of the article is spent on blaming Ventoy's developers and users for holding it "wrong". And here I am left still wondering what is so bad about ISOs.
To paraphrase Brett Goldstein, Elon Musk couldn't fucking build Jefferson Starship.

He may get us back into space, but SpaceX won't get us into the solar system. That will come when SpaceX is fat and happy and complacent, and some new company comes in and does to them what they've done to others.

And none of us will be alive when a human orbits another star. We might see someone launch, but we won't live to see if they survived the journey.
I'm sleep deprived. Would not it rather be "start" saying "don't use macros", given that macros are "bad"?
You can buy a Tesla, run the EPA test cycle, and get the exact same numbers.

You will get less than "the range" if you drive 90mph on the highway until the battery is depleted. Where is Tesla lying anywhere in there? The consumer was just ignorant of what the EPA rated range means.
That's why I only hang out in the metaverse and don't leave my home anymore. Umm, ...
I usually lean towards consumer rights on this type of thing, and the idea of paying a subscription for something like heated seats is annoying to me.

That said I am trying to play devil's advocate here. Other people have mentioned the analogy of locking out some CPUs on a die for a cheaper version of hardware, and I think that kind of applies here, at least for a one time payment.

If I'm willing to accept that, is it so unreasonable that they could rent this feature to me, even if it's only a software switch? After all, the idea of renting physical property isn't very controversial.

Again, I don't like the idea and would never want to rent the heated seats software switch, but I'm having a hard time justifying why it shouldn't be allowed.

Signage and discovery are a joke. The App Store is littered with garbage, and even when you search for an app by name, you often get unrelated apps for pages and pages before the real app.

> Also, small indie developers are only being charged 15% until they exceed $1 million. So the 30% you always hear about are the big fish that can afford it anyway.

This is a new development, which seems to have resulted only because of the pressure from regulators.

> the whole problem gets exacerbated by unit testing, where `list_of_resources` can be a MagicMock, and therefore `if not list_of_resources` will never trigger

Not a python or javascript programmer, but that alone already points at using `len` as a better (more testable) solution.

In my limited understanding of python, there's no type-checker that will shout if someone in another team changes method_a() to sometimes return a `None` or `False` in addition to a List. So even if in python empty lists are falsy, the code will be a bit more robust if it doesn't rely on that feature to begin with. The code will error on the if instead of continuing and trying to use a `None` in a place where a list is expected later on.

Disclaimer: I work with a language with only two falsy values (nil and false), so I might be biased
The problem with this point of view that all businesses seem to have is you're not the only ones doing this. Those same 90 people you're providing negative value and nuisance to are getting it from hundreds of businesses a day, gradually driving the signal to noise ratio of all communications channels down to zero. It's entirely possible one of the hundreds of real estate investment companies calling me every day trying to buy one of my houses was going to make a terrific offer that would have provided me with value. But I'll never know, because if I answered the phone and actually talked to them, I'd have to answer all of these calls, and doing that would leave me with no time to do anything at all except answer phone calls and listen to sales pitches all day every day.
My iPhone can send me alerts that I’m going to be late to work based on its tracking of my daily commute and you’re telling me that a machine that is constantly connected to a GPS network, sending data back to home base, and (almost?) capable of driving itself has “no way” of “magically knowing where you’re driving” unless you tell it?

If only they could use some of that data and processing power to back out someone’s standard commute, driving behavior, and local temperature.
I used to optimize for the same scenario. But I realized that I very rarely use random machines that aren't my own. Plus my habits shifted even further once I started relying on my own (intentionally) private services accessible over Tailscale. These days I'm uncomfortable logging into anything of importance on a public machine without using a one time password or at least dual factor authentication, which isn't always possible.

Right, or plant trees, clean up trash from the creeks rivers or oceans, take on foster kids and really invest time in giving them the best start possible, help refugees integrate into society, work on creating a sense of community with your neighbours, fix or repurpose trash to help reduce landfill, prioritise your health, start walking or cycling places rather than driving even if it takes longer (since time is now something you have lots of), create art, basically deal with some of the negative externalities and/or undervalued services that modern capitalism addresses so poorly.. and hopefully in the process create a life that is fulfilling and enjoyable for yourself and others.
