I was a little excited to see a camera on the 150, but it's a VGA(!)-resolution 0.3(!!)MP camera.

The Nokia 2780 flip phone has USB-C and a 5MP camera. We know they can do better on a dumbphone. Putting micro-USB and sub-1MP camera on a device in 2023 is just negligence.
That's a great idea! Some people suggested beginner, intermediate and advanced modes, but this sounds much more user-friendly.

>We need more anti-trust enforcement.

The medical field is the most urgent on this matter.

Food prices are manageable. Healthcare prices are far far far worse.
> This kind of thing _should_ 100% be legal (if it isn't already, and my understanding is that it is).

It may fall afoul of the (terribly written, but still law) Section 1201 of the DMCA, if it's arguable that the circumvention provides access to computer software (and I think it is arguable).

I agree that this should be legal, but I'm not nearly as convinced that it is legal currently.
The entire concept of "intellectual property" is an attempted theft of our own physical property, and I for one don't appreciate it. I understand that my values on this don't align with much of the rest of the legal systems of the world, but the absurdity of intellectual property is never more clear than when some far away company attempts to assert ownership over something that you use every day.
Websites could choose to deny access to clients that attest to having adblocking addons installed.
I don't know, but I'd believe it's beyond the point where they are illegally leaking private information.

The first amendment is already far more qualified than you might expect. All of the amendments are. It's the job of the opposing counsels to write briefs that keep the judges in the plot, and the job of chief executives and voters to appoint judges who can follow it.
This analogy/mental model of what things are when you purchase them breaks down for software. It’s less environmentally wasteful to build a single sku and unlock paid software features requiring teams of devs.

I'm glad that people try new things even if it's more expensive at first and sometimes turns out to be a bad idea in the end.
> That is nothing like "convenient profile switching".

It takes a few seconds on my machine, and has the same result as switching profiles. But I accept your situation may be different, and would be interested to know what you see as its deficiencies.
> why would anyone lend money and not do it themselves?

Because there are regulations that limit how banks can invest deposits.
Tools like this will be useful for small shops that don’t have a genuine need for a junior-to-senior pipeline. It’s going to create a (an even more?) two-tiered community of developers: one tier that knows the AI tools/tricks to produce stuff, and one that knows how to do it themselves. I don’t know which tier should be considered superior yet: time will tell.
This is why we need rate limits. People will send a billion requests per second rather than fix the problem on their end.
Check out the "about us" section on the page for more details! "We are excited to share that Hydra raised a $3.1M seed round to drive development of columnar Postgres. We remain committed to sharing our upcoming releases to open source."
Will be interesting to see how they did it. Using low cost off the shelf parts means nothing if you have to dismantle the entire car and solder to the tiniest of points. I still remember the first Xbox mod...30+ wires attached to the smallest of points on the motherboard.
The best dev I ever knew developed a serious case of burnout. He went to truck-driving school and drove long-haul trucks for a couple of years. He then came back to software development cured of his burnout.

Not saying that you should drive trucks, but I think doing something else -- something completely unrelated to dev work -- might be of help.
What you just said would be a good thing(1). That would mean that more bugs are getting fixed.

(1) unless the PRs that they generate are garbage.
That isn’t how neighborhoods work? The entire point of a neighborhood is that it’s a community with shared goals. If everyone wants to work out their own goals they live rurally.
It's not a joke. Just because you expanded the address space doesn't mean you need to redistribute every number across the space evenly. 1.1.1.1 should still be 1.1.1.1 in ipv6 land, encoded as 0x11110000..., and some random new device can have 2221:db8:1234::f350:2256:f3dd.

They didn't need to change everyone's pre-existing addresses just to do a protocol change, same way adding unicode support to domain names wouldn't require google.com to become ∆Íßխեղճå∂ß.çøm. They also didn't need to change the default format to the ::::: stuff.
Tech consultant to stand trial in stabbing death of Cash App founder Bob Lee
Thank you very much for finding these! I find it surprising that I remember these quotes from the 90s Hugh Laurie and Steven Fry television adaptation 'Jeeves and Wooster' - few TV programmes are faithful enough to their original book to include the dialogue verbatim!
Probably a lot? Judges are perfectly capable of learning technical topics and are pretty smart in general. The judge who presided over Google vs Oracle taught himself to program. Some may be old but don't forget the people who invented the internet are 70s+ right now.
Okay great, but now the lowest cost of the car is an extra $10k because the manufacturing just got a lot more complicated as a result of not being able to build every car the same way.
awesome project - and we tested Zing Data ( http://www.zingdata.com ) with Hydra to make really fast analytical queries on postgres scale to analytics users on mobile and so far have seen great results.
> MSI is deprecated

Is it? The WiX Toolset still seems to be actively developed and MSIX doesn't seem to support all use cases. Has MSI been officially deprecated despite that?

Also, MSIX's mandatory signing makes it too expensive and cumbersome for a hobby project, so it would be unfortunate if that became the only option.
I read a story of a Latino immigrant Mom who worked the night shift cleaning a slaughterhouse every night. Wet, slick surfaces and sharp objects everywhere.

The Mom was hired as a contractor through a third party company. She fell and was injured at work, because she wasn't an employee of the bigger company she wasn't entitled to any compensation or help, just fired from the third party company which also provided no assistance.
My point is less about Danish taxes and more about external constraints.

By all means nitpick my knowledge of the Danish tax code, though. That sounds like fun.
Yes. But people who acted in that movie were told ahead of time their bodies were going to be digitized and manipulated and their agents were able to negotiate terms surrounding the use of those 3D models.

Imagine you were an extra in a Star Trek : Next Generation episode where the editor didn't notice you were caught on camera picking your nose. In the modern era, decades later, someone notices it on blue-ray and the scene goes viral. Should Paramont have the rights to generate a collection of NFTs based on your image? [Forget for the moment that NFTs are stupid.]

The law in this case leans towards "no" because it recognizes that as an actor, your image is a valuable asset actors usually control. Also, the idea of an NFT didn't exist in a form made manifest or even predictable in 1987 when you were an extra. Who owns the rights to your image applied to new technology? That question has been a little harder to answer recently.

And that's sort of what's going on. It's not that CGI and AI exist, it's that they're being applied in a non-traditional way without an explicit agreement ahead of time to divvy up the cash.
I'm not sure how contract law is relevant at all. As for copyright, they aren't copying or distributing it in any way. If you give me the code on it, I am allowed to execute it as I see fit. The only way I see copyright issues is if they weren't actually shipping the code and I had to pirate it and side load it. Which is a completely different issue than is being discussed.

If you sell me a book, I'm not allowed to copy that book and sell those copies. I am allowed to chop it up and and repaste my own copy however I see fit.

If I'm wrong and current copyright law does not permit this kind of thing, then current copyright law is bad and should be changed.
> Aren't we all just performing probabilistic decision paths in our own minds?

Wild speculation. The human brain is still pretty much a black box.

> Would "feelings" improve decision accuracy in artificial systems?

Hard to tell, since we haven't observed any cases of sentient A.I. (able to feel). The only general intelligence we know (humans) have feelings as one of the most prominent features, so much so that "accuracy" is not the main driver for any given human... far from it. I don't know of any human that couldn't in one way or another be classified as "irrational".
The difference is that those orcs were always CGI, not scans of real humans, the exceptions being the orcs in the foreground with speaking or stunt roles.

And matte paintings were always parts of the sets, not in lieu of them.
There are many things that can reduce your burnout, if you are willing to do:

1. Read some philosophy (Greek, Indian, Buddhist, whatever)
2. Spend good time with your family, especially your parents
3. Go for hiking
4. Do meditation (on self)
5. Call your childhood friends
6. Try cooking new dishes (and fail, it is fun)
7. Read physical books
> However I'll echo what another poster said. I say Tesla should be free to sell whatever they want, but if the end user finds a way around it too bad.

I think thats the stance I'm leaning towards as well. To quote another commenter[1]:

> If a manufacturer wants to lock features behind a paywall, that is fine. However, they shouldn't be allowed to complain when consumers modify the thing they bought to get around that paywall. If Tesla really wants to make sure absolutely no one gets FSD or heated seats without paying, then they should make a point of only including the relevant hardware or software in the vehicle at the time of purchase.

I listened to a podcast the other day where they were discussing people who scored high on a test for psychopathy, one of whom turned out to be a priest. When asked about this he said (paraphrasing from memory) "I don't believe in God and all that stuff, I'm just good at it."

I think this is a lot of politicians. A few are sincere, but a lot are just in some global political grifter class where they have more in common with each other than the people they are supposed to represent. People like Pelosi, Crenshaw, Biden, McCarthy, Taylor-Greene, McCarthy etc.
> So long as the documentation is good, I don't really care how the library itself is implemented.

I don't have experience in Elixir, but in my general experience what you say is fine until you need to debug something going wrong (or something you don't understand and _think_ is going wrong) in a library, which always happens eventually, no? Or until you want to PR a feature, etc.
> Back in my day, we only got one compile a day with our punch cards

You were lucky! In my computer class at school in 1979 we got one compile a week. Punched into cards which were taken to the local insurance company who actually had a computer.
Contract law is running afoul of the first-sale doctrine here. Tesla can not enforce many clauses in a potential contract or license via the legal system, so it's not as cut-and-dry as "you don't own the code".

Copyright has zero application here unless you redistribute Tesla's code or binaries. Reverse-engineering is a legal practice (in US law, at least).
What makes alcohol attractive. In my experience alcohol in many social situations helps people form a connection (cutting through layers of bs we masquerade around with). It helps people break the ice and form a bond .. both as just friends and also with possible love interests.

The issue that I have seen is that we humans form habits (and addictions). So let’s say alcohol helped me make some friends in college and hook up with a lady friend who become a serious romantic long term partner.

Your brain is like yeah .. she alcohol helps… and the inflammation issues take years before you notice any symptoms.

Years later you just now associate alcohol with socializing and good time .. or even associate with relaxation. As you age and life is stressful this can dangerous because now your body has become dependent on this substance for mental relaxation / stress unwinding. Now you find yourself drinking by at home with no love interest and maybe just alone without friends.

Fast forward now you find yourself overweight and having health issues … and your like man cannot believe this is happening to me .. aging sucks and I am unlucky.

Your subconscious and habit do a good job of stopping you from making any connection that perhaps alcohol has been playing a role here.

Side note: I am friends with a couple recovered alcoholics and am just basing my rambling response based on my own life experiences.
If you ran a cartel, what would your biggest fear be? If it were me, my biggest fear would be getting regulated out of existence, or maybe even being criminally prosecuted. So you want to keep a low public profile for your cartel activity.

If you start ratcheting up prices without an excuse, eventually people would notice, and at some point "people" would start to include state and federal legislators, who will start asking uncomfortable questions and whom you might not be able to buy off forever.

So instead what you do is set a comfortable minimum price industry wide and use your cartel power instead to aggressively cut costs, so that you have a credible threat of crushing any competition in a price war. This keeps potential competitors in check, thereby tacitly maintaining your preferred price floor.

When an external event does happen that actually raises supply costs, you are best equipped to eat those cost increases while your competitors struggle. Eventually, you sadly announce that you must raise your prices. This price becomes the new price floor for a while, until inflation catches up.

I'm not saying that's what they're doing, but to me that seems like a nice balance between maintaining industry dominance and not being portrayed in the media as Dr. Evil.
You don't perceive any significant difference between emergency work and AI training moderation?
Woah, did not know that. Definitely wouldn't want to set it as an upstream DNS server on an office router then.
Within epsilon yes it does because the signer chooses the signature expiration and it's no more than 7 days.

If you don't like this you should also take issue with Cache-Control.

You, the website operator, opt in to signed exchanges and define exactly what resources are valid for how long. If you're okay with the browser caching pages there really should be no reason to be weirded out by any 3rd party caching them too.
> meat is a vital, and necessary food

And you talk about "weird" statements?
Compile time reflection doesn't work for this case.
No, still underestimating. Also, filter usage is one of the signals.
Strongly second this -- disconnecting from tech and stressors has been helpful for me in the past. Lots of walking, reading physical books, and just going places and thinking (I'm partial to a nice waterfront but your mileage may vary)
I'm fully supportive of someone going to court and finding out what happens when they do this. It is far more valuable than wild speculation. Copyright law is bad and should be changed, but that is unlikely a winning defense in the course of a civil suit (or criminally, if prosecuted for DMCA violations, such as circumvention of digital mechanisms for access control per 17 U.S.C. § 1201(a)(1)) [1] [2]. I am fairly confident (not an attorney, not your attorney) this applies to access to Tesla's FSD digital work.

(3) As used in this subsection— (A) to “circumvent a technological measure” means to descramble a scrambled work, to decrypt an encrypted work, or otherwise to avoid, bypass, remove, deactivate, or impair a technological measure, without the authority of the copyright owner; and (B) a technological measure “effectively controls access to a work” if the measure, in the ordinary course of its operation, requires the application of information, or a process or a treatment, with the authority of the copyright owner, to gain access to the work.)
I’ve been doing freelance for the past 4-5 years. The first few years I focused on building a bit of runway, and now I’ve reduced the amount of time I’m available for my clients.

I typically take about 10-12 weeks off every year. Today I just got back to working after a 5 week holiday. For the past 6 months before that, I only worked about half time for clients as I was working on one of my own products.

Treat your own project as a client. Keep track of how much time you spend (not to bill yourself, but to keep an eye on whether what you’re doing is profitable), and work during your regular work hours. Keep evenings and weekends for family and hobbies.
His point wasn’t about whether the “grunt work” is enjoyable or not, but that it is necessary work for juniors to do in order to gain experience.

I’m not sure. If these AI tools become sophisticated enough it might be better experience to learn how to use them instead of doing the underlying work. Career-wise anyway.
Does enabling FSD come with any liability / terms of service? If it is backdoor enabled and the vehicle crashes, what is Tesla's liability? If the OTA patches to the system are needed and the car is running the base, unupdated (buggy) build, what is Tesla's liability?

Alternatively, if a vehicle is running software that hasn't gone through Tesla's subscription how much of the liability for any software problems will Tesla be able to transfer to the vehicle owner?

Hypothetically, if Tesla were licensing 3rd party software and that license was based on installed uses and Tesla was reporting the subscriptions for FSD (rather than sales of the vehicle), what would enabling the software open up Tesla to? Would Tesla then be able to sue the person who unlocked it for the additional licensing costs they incurred?
To build an egalitarian society you need taxes
Groups that typically do resistivity measurements on regularly measure low-temperature resistivities on conducting materials of ~ 10s of micro Ohm m. So if you're measuring in this range on a conducting material and hitting the noise floor with a SHARP drop, that's a pretty big indicator of superconductivity (assuming you haven't just broken your contacts which is a concern when cooling things down). I'm not so familiar with PPMS systems, but I imagine it has some built in auto-adjust on the sensitivities to where you can be pretty confident your noise floor is below these values.

What is complicating the interpretation here is the log scale (and lack of conversion to resistivity): It is amplifying the impression of the noise below what they call Tc, and making it harder to interpret the approach of the material to the transition point. The behaviour at the approach to Tc also doesn't really look like a metal, which should scale as propto T, or a semiconductor which should increase with decreasing temperature. Possibly a result of it being some horrible mixed phase ceramic.
Because I don't believe in mocking people for their personal shortcomings.

I also think a fundamental principle of good drama is that it should have a protagonist that you can root for even if they are flawed. (Frasier is a good example.) None of Seinfeld's characters had any redeeming qualities whatsoever.
> how would you distinguish beloved pets from food animals? well, plausibly by quantity, or by the form of burial. perhaps the villa only had one or two lap dogs?

The context of the burial is always important. The bones from cooked animals would most often end up in huge quantities in a midden rather than buried alone or with their owners. Any objects found with the remains like a collar or harness are also useful details.

The condition of the skeleton itself usually tells the story: pets are generally in the best shape. Beasts of burden have signs of repetitive stress while animals that were eaten most often have cut marks on their bones where tools were used to clean the carcass and prepare the meat. An animal like a dog might be prepared bone-in so the chemistry of the bones themselves can also indicate whether they were cooked or not.
From the perspective of a customer, what is the difference between a heated seat that doesn't work because it doesn't exist, and one that is locked out by software? Assuming the customer isn't paying up front for that feature.

Some people don't want to pay for heated seats. Turns out the manufacturer found it cheaper to just include the hardware anyway rather than differentiate on the production line. What's the big deal? The ability to change your mind and pay for the feature after purchase without getting an aftermarket seat heater seems like a nice bonus. Everyone wins.
Not sure woodworking is "low-stress", though I guess it depends on what exactly you plan on making.

I have had a number of failures at all phases of projects. One was 20 hours of work and a grand in materials that I were totally junk (I had to pay more to drop it off at the dump). One was fairly low material cost, but ~40 hours in it was ruined.

Now I make duplicates in case of failures. My last project I got material for 10, was able to actually get 7 blanks due to cracks and knots, 5 didn't get tear out so bad they were worthless, and 4 at the end after a final gluing mistake. One for me, and two that were gifts for friends. One spare, out of materials for 10.

I get anxiety about starting new projects because I worry about how much material to get to account for my mistakes.
Part of the reason contractor hourlies are so high is that you’re not meant to bill 2100 hours a year. Aim for north of 1500 and south of 1900.

Burnout on contracting gigs was always a problem for me because W2 contracting does tend to expect 2000 hours a year. But I hate job hunting so I steered clear of 6 month engagements.
