The $200/hr service charge most european motorcycle dealers charge. There are two things I can't do myself. Particularly, bleeding the ABS (which requires the dealer tool) and re-shimming the engine (which also requires a dealer tool).

My local stealership wants exactly $200/hr for every service. An oil change for my motorcycle is $300, a brake job is $650. Mind you parts for these jobs are in the mid-to-low XX's. It's ALL service fees. Reshimming the engine (once every 15k miles or so) costs a minimum of $1200 going up to $2000 if the engine needs significant adjustment. I've shimmed sportbikes for years and 6-8 hours worth of work is insane. I can do it in a few hours excluding the time to go get beer.

It's borderline theft. "Stealership" is not tongue in cheek. I am seriously considering trading in my motorcycle for cash (even at a loss) and re-buying an old R100GS.
Yes, I wanted to propose yesterday after this bewildering incident (which is far from being the first one), that the guidelines are augmented:

This has nicely summarized my biggest complaint with how a lot of the fediverse seems to be intended to work.

Mastodon etc seem to mostly be designed with the intention of having a lot of large nodes that can federate. This results in the same issues as mainstream social media on those nodes. This also reflects in the lack of meaningful discovery tools.

Of course this is resolved by setting up ones own server, and there is at least a corner of the fediverse of truly free speech nodes. But this just makes me feel that the design should have always been towards a large network of small nodes, with associated discovery tools.
My point is that if the companies are locked into their office leases then that is a sunk cost, and companies requiring employees to return to the office in order to justify that expense is an example of decision making under a sunk-cost fallacy.

I don't know why the author doesn't point that out in the article, hence my pedantic tone which some have noted.
Let's go back to the 70s.

Yeah, I think in many cases you just need a vector search lib, instead of a DB.

And in some other cases, you may want postgres vector extension e.g. https://github.com/tensorchord/pgvecto.rs instead of a specialized vector db.
Same here, been self hosting on a managed VPS for about a decade for my business, there's very little maintenance, our deliverability is excellent.

Not that there are zero issues, in particular if you set up a brand new mail server with zero reputation, it can take a while to get yourself out of the hole.

I think for normal people though it makes a lot more sense to just pay for email. I'm not sympathetic at all to someone who complains about the quality of service of free Gmail. You are the product, so for the ten millionth time, it's going to suck for you somehow. Fastmail costs 3 bucks a month, if you have 3 bucks, go buy it, it's better (or buy one of their many decent competitors).
Browsers aren't really trusted platforms, the cool scraping is in emulating phones. Whether that be in actually running a virtual phone or sending traffic that emulates it

Really just encourages phones to be even more locked down
The result you get can be reversed with multiplication, yes. But the operation of devision is not simply reversing of the operation of multiplication. Subtraction is the exact opposite operation of addition. Division is multiplication by a reciprocal.
Is it just me or the is article not loading? The page loads fine along with the title but nothing below the top fold.
Thanks, I hate it.

This seems close to the territory of "why do I need a database? I just keep a bunch of text files with really long names that described exactly what I did to compute the file. They're all in various directories, so if you need to find one just do some greps and finds on the whole system"

I recognize there's a big gap, but boy howdy does what you're suggesting sound messy.
Which is to say: yes! Many do it with channels currently.

It's awful, but they do it.
See, the problem is that you have it backwards. OSS's significant "problem" is those attempting to levarage it for funding. If you want funding, don't do open source; you'll make all the precious money that those who have it think it might be worth, and you won't look like a dick when you pull it back because you're not making enough.

If you want to write software, in a community, for the betterment of that everyone, no matter what anyone else does with that software, then release it as open source.

Can you still make a comfortable living writing open source software? Perhaps, but if that's your goal, you're doing it wrong(tm).
Article is low on details as to why they had kids on buses at 10pm, and is talking about giving drivers time to learn the new routes, but doesn't say the issue is drivers getting lost.

The district hired a company to design new routes with fewer routes and stops, but it's unclear if the issue is bus drivers not knowing the routes well, the company not considering the interaction between the routes and traffic, or the contractor being measured on reducing driver+bus count with no restrictions on transit time.

With so little information this article is frustrating.
> Claiming that WFH is bad because you can't bounce ideas off other employees and get into the real world-changing "deep work"

What is a bigger hindrance to this to me is an open office plan. Being distracted by watching everyone walk around, no one respecting my headphones being on, walking over to me for a "quick question" that disrupts my flow and ends up being 60 minutes of work which I get no credit for but they do. At least over slack I can not respond to messages, though the ping is still disruptive.

What helps create deep work is a fucking door which I can communicate to people that I am in the zone and do not bother me unless you really need me.

The truth is that people are just justifying their previous decisions. They made open offices because it is "cheaper" (short term, but arguable long term) and have to come up with a reason that it is "better" other than cost. The same shit happens with WFH because they are still paying for office space. This is crazy since silicon valley was known for crazy perks like laundry and free food and all that but still wouldn't give you an office with a door. But now all that is going away as all their stocks are still going up. The reason those companies got big in the first place is that they realized that there were diminishing returns on financial compensation and that giving other perks actually boosted performance, created loyalty, and keeps people happy. So why stop doing something that is working? (gotta get those stock prices up somehow, right? And a quarterly level, not long term)
I wrote something a couple of years back about online identity that I think still stands true today: https://medium.com/@canadaduane/the-vastness-of-online-ident...

- identity is who you are (relationships, memories, secrets)

- identity is recognition and discernment (others need to confidently assess that you are you, and not a counterfeit)

- identity is correlation management (whether managed by others or ourselves, we have a right to privacy and selective disclosure)

Bookmarking it, loved the idea...

Fastest for me was (Skill wise) 13 tries and 1 min 40 sec.

First time was beginner's luck and got 2 dead 2 injured and that got solved in less time and tries, but that was purely a lucky guess.

I've spent upwards of 5 min and 50+ tries as well in some of them but that's because I kept loosing the track of which one's are dead.

Haven't played enough yet... but average tries are 15-19 ranges avg time for me is 1.40-3.40 ranges.

Still not sure on strategy, but I am doing brute force here twice.

First I get a combination that has nothing (in my head I call that combination as "Bad Ambulance") which will find injured and make them dead.

I will gladly spend my time on this.

Loved it.. 10/10

Edit :- Bad Ambulance totally works, 10 tries 1 min 20sec.
The Economist has for years lost the plot and become an out-of-touch publication.
Carbon neutral is a joke. How much carbon did it take to build the machines? Their power comes from renewable energy, but our renewable infrastructure is still being built with oil. Nothing is carbon neutral until we completely transition away from oil. Until then, it's all carbon at the base layer.

We need to get off oil as quickly as possible and use our remaining carbon budget to build the non-carbon infrastructure. Until then it's all just marketing.
Not just money. Any resource, time, or mental effort applied to use something because of it's initial expense when a better alternative exists.
Yes, but computing an integer into it's reciprocal (which is what you're doing in decimal) is the computation that makes it more complex, you're just offloading that from the machine to your head. Try doing this with x/31, show me the operation to convert 31 into it's reciprocal in decimal and you'll see where the complexity lies.
You could borrow a physical copy from the local library, which often had a huge number of them.

There might still be automotive service manual torrents floating around with content which was partially a result of my efforts when I was in the "bookz scene" over 2 decades ago.
Fair enough on the cooling, but brakes I disagree, at least with my riding style.

I do most my braking with a combination of front and engine braking. I usually don't touch the rear until either I'm close to a full stop or if I'm doing slow speed maneuvers. So unless Zero's got regen on the front wheel, I don't see there being too much different between the two.
>If you’re knowledgeable enough to know what the error codes mean, you would know that cmd-V gives you verbose logging.

This is exactly the sort of thing I'm talking about. You assume that anyone who doesn't know every hidden Macintosh hotkey is so ignorant of computers they won't even know how to look up an error code. If there are magic hotkeys that modify the boot sequence, that might be some information I would like to know when trying to boot my computer! Why not display those hotkeys during the boot sequence like a normal OS?
I'm curious to see how well it'll stack up against Hulu's "Dopesick" (which was excellent, by the way).
By crackpot you mean tabloids which are then amplified by journalists as low hanging fruit for driving rage induced engagement.

Note that Linux, today, is far from the largest Git project. Oldest, yes. Biggest, not even close. FAANG monorepos are vastly bigger with much higher commit rates. The Linux kernel is quaint, small, and moves glacially slow in comparison. Even if we consider only public open source codebases, Chromium's repo is bigger than Linux by any reasonable metric.
Not just you, I assumed content was blanked due to detecting uBlockOrigin ad blocking.

The top comment archive.is link works.
In hindsight, fleeing to Russia was a good choice, even if it wasn't Snowden's intention.

Snowden said he was trying to get to Ecuador, but the Ecuadorian government would have handed him over to the US for the right price, just like they did with Assange. EU countries are too cozy with the US, and would never have given him asylum. In fact, when the US thought Snowden might be on the President of Bolivia's plane, it got a bunch of EU countries to deny overflight, forcing the Bolivian President to land and submit to a search of his plane. Snowden's only realistic option was to seek shelter in a large, powerful country with a poor relationship with the US.
And the top link with the archive link is a cloudflare loop for me.
Just play Asteroids, congrats, add a twist between certain edges (which would manifest as a flip) and you now are in the mobius.
So I use my own accounts to access this correct? I didn’t see in the documentation where I provide my credentials. I’ll look again…
yeah, that's what i'm saying. an FXE is an e-motorbike, not an e-bicycle. if you didn't need highway speed, you could have got a top-tier commuter-style ebike for $3k instead of the $12k an FXE costs.

but i'm sure the FXE is way more fun.
My point is simple: Porn companies have a duty to keep their product out of the hands of children. I didn't intend to get into the details of the legislation, but on the surface I think it's perfectly reasonable to require proof-of-age from porn users, and to require the display health disclosures.

I would legit take same soc with improved process _purely_ for battery improvement with improved camera hardware at this point (but I don't play games on my phone, so ???).

Even then the year to year improvements in camera hardware aren't as extreme as they were 5+ years ago.
If 90% of people agree to a position to appease a few people in power, then it's not really consensus, it's coercion. The topic of COVID's origin is so politically charged, that many people can't state their opinion (or even their facts!) without upsetting someone in charge. That someone may not even be in their own country.

As a random example, Australia was hit with punitive tariffs on tens of billions of dollars of exports to China for merely suggesting that it might be an idea to investigate the origins of COVID.

Similarly, there has been a whole lot of silence coming from the Chinese scientific community. The zoonitic origin theory is the position of the Chinese government, and hence, essentially by law, it is also the position of the scientific community.

The Chinese government doesn't have to bother with such trifles as evidence, facts, or even putting on the pretence of an investigation. They ruled, the matter is closed, there is now consensus.

If you want to know what real power looks like, look no further than this. We'll now never know where COVID came from definitively, and scientists in other countries are keeping their opinions to themselves, or risking their careers to speak up.
+1 I'd like to know as well
One of the bummers of the decline of automotive forums is the reduction in availability of the bootleg copies. So many are wastelands of broken links these days.
You are not wrong, the code can be forked, and it just continues. Ideally, of course, there will be just one fork not multiple people competing to be the next top dog.

Other aspects of the product are somewhat harder. Things like forums, mailing lists, trademarks, graphics, logos, websites, domains and so on all form part of the "whole" and these are less-easy, or impossible, to duplicate.

So yes, if you are a object owner, there are advantages to having others with "keys to the kingdom". Of course this comes with risks, so at the least a nominated successor and instructions on how to get them control of the various assets.

I've been tangentially involved with cases like this, and in non-income cases spouses have generally been helpful - they like the idea of the project being kept alive.

Having a plan is a big part of continuity, and I encourage solo developers, and project leads, to build and publicise the plan.
What usually matters more than absolute tolerances is relative tolerance, aka ppm. 100 micron / 4 thou tolerance can be achieved with hand tools and a bit of patience on the benchtop scale, say a 4" part. That's about 1000 ppm, or 0.1%. If I gave you a meter stick, you could probably eyeball marking something +/- 1mm.

Getting the same finish on a 120"/3m coil is 33 ppm. 100 ppm / 0.01% for any operation or process tends to be where things start to get really challenging. Deflection goes up by the length cubed, so increasing the size of all the tooling relative to the tolerance gets really challenging really fast.

I’m not sure this is correct at all. For example if “genuine intelligence(c)” is what it is about, the why do these LLMs have more trouble with languages than English ?

Imo the permutations it’s exposed too would matter here.

What about hallucinating? It’s just giving you the closest statistical match which is wrong in some cases, not knowing it doesn’t know.

Where did anyone say he (or anyone else) should not be held responsible for his unlawful conduct?

Even in the so-vanishingly-rare-it-almost-doesn’t-exist-outside-fiction case of someone being found not legally culpable for a crime by reason of insanity, that almost always comes with things like compelled inpatient mental health treatment instead.

The Dan White “Twinkie Defense” was so astounding because for once something like that worked. (One guess as to why it happened to work for him, but here’s a hint: Cops celebrated when the verdict was announced.)
I saw some snark on mastodon that applies here: I don't need AI to write essays or synthesise art, I need it to stand in line at the DMV for me.
In the case of Covid, people were scared. If you know anything about social psychology, taking control of information etc. in this fashion is typical behavior when people feel intensely threatened as a group.
> They're going to beat the drum until Justice Thomas resigns or stops being openly corrupt, which may be a very long time.

I don’t expect either of those things to happen, sadly. If everything stays as it is, he will remain in office and continue his behavior. He’ll stay there until he dies.
Not a small town thing. There isn’t a town or city of any size in America that isn’t woefully deficient in rule of law. It’s just whatever artificial camp you get thrown into that decides which corruption you overlook.

It is actually a remote connection to a real phone, so since the resources are quite finite, requiring a second factor makes a bit more sense.
True enough, but one doesn't need to know whether they are Chatbots. In fact, one doesn't even have to have ever heard of AI/ChatGPT to know that something fundamnetally inhuman and strange were going on. If a person woke up from a coma after Chatbots had taken over the internet, they would immediately notice something very strange and machine-like about the whole experience.
I'm using Ubuntu on desktop and my phone's an Android.

I'm looking to use the phone's inbuilt keyboard for typing or some programming specific one downloaded from Play Store. I want to type as best as I can using a phone.

I'm thinking about holding the device in both hands and double-thumb typing on it. That doesn't trigger my RSI.
"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it." -- Upton Sinclair

It's my experience that coders, software engineers, accountants, and other STEM professionals regularly dismiss that their jobs are threatened by the encroachment of advances in AI such as deep learning and LLMs. And, unfortunately, the standard optimistic, hand-waving refrain of "There will be other jobs." denies reality that they may well make less money elsewhere, be under/unemployed, or not be able to retrain. I foresee a widening excess supply of skilled individuals who will face difficulties finding any job that either: pays enough OR where a potential employer doesn't deem them "overqualified." (In addition, almost all of the professional class bets against their own interests by being predominantly anti-union, even when they're under/haphazardly paid or overworked.)

It will take more decades, but even nursing and care will be automatable when AI and mechatronics advance sufficiently. I look forward to the kitchen and bathroom cleaning robots. These are moonshot projects that require 100M-1B and multiple decades to attain.

This would be super useful if it supported local/in-K8-cluster models.

Most production use cases probably need some sort of fall back of small -> medium -> large -> GPT4.

Given the costs + low quota limits, I would be surprised if any significant portion of the market is falling back from one expensive proprietary* API to another.

With the rapid improvements in model servers like llama.cpp and vllm.ai, providing an abstraction layer for “fastest model server of the month” would be useful.
> Is that because they're parsing porcelain output? Or is git's plumbing machine-readable but not well specified?

From what I've seen, they're using the latter, but breaking changes are still introduced.

Either way, the output of UNIX-like command-line tools is inherently weakly typed and often completely unspecified.

PowerShell for comparison ships every module as both a user-interactive CLI command (with parameter tab-complete!) and as a programatically usable dynamic library. They're inherently one and the same, there's only one interface that does both. The API returns .NET objects and is strongly typed. There is no parsing step at all. If you load a given version of a library, you'll always get the expected types in the results.

Speaking of which, PowerShell uses semantic versioning for modules and can have multiple running side-by-side.

The future is here, it's just not very evenly distributed.
The jump from 1 in 8 people in 2019 to 1 in 2 people now suggests to me that the pandemic and probably a few other global crisis’ like the inflation thing might have a role to play, and actually perhaps the depressed moods, and the anxiety are normal responses to the current social climate we’re living in?
Maybe more work needs to happen around case conceptualisation in the context of diagnosis of mental illnesses?

I think this speaks to major social issues rather than mental health issues at an individual level. With that said, when people are suffering from depression, anxiety or one of the very many other mental illnesses, whether it be in response to larger social issues, or something else, they still need support.

"because it means they're smarter than the others"

That may be part of the reason for conspiracy theories, but I think there's more to it. A lot of people take comfort in the idea that there is some grand order to the world (regardless of it being good or evil). It can be hard to accept the alternative - that the real world is chaotic and that no one is actually in control.
Early on it made sense and we were told the lock-down would be a couple of weeks. Those couple of weeks stretched for years and that's why there was a switch when it was obvious lock-downs didn't work but were still imposed.
