It's not a fluctuation. If you look at the data from NASA, you will see a trend, not an hysterical up and down.
Lots of videos around of them stealing crisps (US, chips) from shops: eg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Upo8ciT4Vdc
It's quite different, is it not? I don't get the analogy. These models are scanning, storing, and ingesting more material than any one human could. Not only is the method completely different, the end goal and applications are as well. The analogy basically isn't one, at all.

I'm pretty upset at companies using our personal data to make gobs of money off of. I'm also upset that they're now using our knowledge work to make even more money off of. We don't exist as computational nodes for them, a free resource to exhaust. It is a completely one way street with no consent. So I am in favor of all of these companies getting a reality check.
On the whole, it might be easier to grind LC than to create many side projects that you actually care about. This is all about one's internal motivation.

For example, I don't really want to code in my free time. I have long accepted that I don't care. I don't have energy for anything but small-size side projects.

I do, on the other hand, like solving puzzles, so LC is somewhat preferable to me, out of the two choices. To each their own.
Serious question: why is extraordinary evidence required? Room temperature superconductivity doesn't break any (known) laws of physics, doesn't introduce new particles or fields, etc, doesn't require an unprecedentedly sensitive instrument (like LIGO/VIRGO)...

There's a lot of modern physics, chemistry, biology that is uncritically accepted which I think deserves a somewhat higher bar of skepticism than RTSC
There are anecdotal reports of solar Casios going 20+ years on that battery. Which makes sense given that its capacity should just gradually reduce over time - and when you start with full capacity that can drive the watch for over a year (assuming no backlight etc), even if it drops to half that, it's still very much usable.
Ans what software do support it? There are tons of these IPv6 RFCs which is not supported by "common" software - Linux and FreeBSD daemons, nsd, unbound, etc.

How could I implement this in my home network, with off-the-shelf SOHO router or even something like OpenWRT / custom OSS-based "firmware"?
Just finished The Creative Act: A Way of Being by Rick Rubin, a tremendously accomplished music producer.

It's a beautifully written guide to artistic work, but also a manual for a mindful life. Savor every page packed with insight, subtlety and poetic aphorisms.

Also recommend The Dawn of Everything by Graeber & Wengrow, previously cited on this page.

Next will be The Matter with Things by Iain McGilchrist. The two hefty volumes are staring at me from my desk...
It’s simple: don’t hire devs by the army.
Do Apple attract the best software engineers? If I were a talented hardware engineer, chip designer, hardware designer - I'd want to work at Apple because Apple attracts the best people in these fields. I imagine that Google, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon get the lion share of the best software engineers. No one has ever said Apple services, like the iCloud and Apple Music backend, or Siri, are quality piece of software engineering.
I think a combination of problem solving skill and experience with some specific language and/or framework is a great option for passing interviews. On some interviews, I only had to answer leetcode like problems. On others, I was grilled on the language or framework that the job requires. And the behavioral part always depends on the context.
Most batteries are around 90-95% efficient. Electrical motors are around 85-90% as well. So that isn't that bad.

Of course most hydrogen vehicles are actually battery electrical vehicle where the battery is charged by the fuel cell. Reason for this is that fuel cells are not that easy to throttle up and down and typically have a lower output than the maximum input of the motor. So, you put enough battery in between the fuel cell and the motor so that you don't run out of energy when e.g. driving up a mountain. Also this enables benefiting from things like regenerative braking. Technically, you could take any hydrogen vehicle and convert it to pure battery electric by simply replacing the hydrogen bits and bops with a bigger battery. No need to change the drive train or anything else. It already is a battery electric vehicle.

So a hydrogen car or truck inherits all those supposed (in)efficiencies of battery electric and then adds the additional (in)efficiencies of the hydrogen production, storage, transport, and fuel cell conversion. The whole process starts with the same renewable energy that you would otherwise put straight into the battery. So these are additional inefficiencies that go on top of the whole end to end chain. The further away you are from where the hydrogen is produced, the worse it gets.

Anyway, when you multiply all of these efficiencies, you end up with a good reason why hydrogen cars are not a great idea from a cost point of view. Just a lot of losses in this long chain of energy conversions that you necessarily have to do that multiply to lots of energy loss.

What this article proposes is super interesting of course but it doesn't change the math for transport. Battery electric is inherently more efficient. It works today and it's going to only get better. Cheaper more dense batteries, cheaper renewable energy production, etc. There are plenty of more sensible/economical uses for hydrogen outside transport.

Who cares? If they want data, they can pay for it.

You say honeypot, I say free government-provided cloud storage, w00t!
Are most Applers even allowed to speak in forums like this one? Did OP follow the rules?
It depens on what they did before, because a lot of the big tech companies had a hiring spree in the years preceding the mini-crash.
> browsers are capable of caching all sorts of things, even something as peculiar as an HTML page.

Yes, and this is irrelevant to your previous comment: caching the HTML doesn’t cache the redirect itself.
This is great! What I‘d like to see is a progression, for example stage 1 with a big 8x8 grid which shrinks based on some metric. The game end once you cant form any new words. Smth along these lines wouls be cool!

You don't need to keep the lists, just keep a Bloom filter of sufficient size to keep false positives low.
You probably don't need a geothermal (i.e. ground source) heat pump.

They rarely make financial sense against modern air source heat pumps. Spend the saved money from digging on insulation and PV instead.
> I would love to see this have the ability to draw simple graphs to show how your situation will look

That's a great idea. One tool I had been previously using (server based, then started to require payment so I stopped using it) had a graph. I found that while it was cool initially in the end I just looked at "do I have enough money to make it to date X", so I figured I'd skip implementing a graph. But maybe I should consider it, it certainly helps to visualise the situation.

> or allow for things like interest rates on deposits, or the ability to see how your income might look like in X years with an Y% average increase, etc.

Thanks for the suggestion, I thought of that too, wouldn't be hard to do...
Is a 3 month internship considered a job? I don't think it is; it's a great booster for one's career and an opportunity to get a fulltime / permanent position, but from the employer's point of view, it's a cheap trial period.
It's obsolete. DEFLATE format is limited to 32KB LZ window with huffman coding.

Zstd can use a much larger window (8MB recommended) and a much better entropy coder: https://github.com/Cyan4973/FiniteStateEntropy
That depends under whose jurisdiction you're talking about, how it's commercialised, how closely the content resembles the original content or whether it incorporates trademarks etc etc.
100% this. But I doubt it will happen in the US, unfortunately.
> You can move between multiple wireless APs in a conference hall, and have a layer-3 address that follows you as you switch network segments and thus acquire new layer-2 addresses (which means that the packets destined to that address are being dynamically re-routed at some upstream switch, as the address assignment changes.)

Is it possible to implement this at home, without paying a lot of money? I've tried it with UniFi AP (with software controller) and no luck :-(
>> LFP has a lot of hype for good reasons:

* Charge cycles before degradation are much better (typically 1000-3000 cycles, depending on how you cycle it) <<

Sure, but that's in ESS setting. We don't know anything about LFP's lifecyle in EV profile with higher c-rates.

>> * Can be charged to 100% without causing stress on the battery <<

All lithium batteries, including LFPs, degrade faster under high SOC in both ESS and EV settings. Tesla recommends charging to 100% full periodically because BMS needs to be recalibrated frequently to estimate accurate SOC, so to avoid potential safety and cell imbalance issues. According to Cleanwatt, citing Tessie's tracking data, Tesla's LFP EV's lose first 10% of range/battery capacity twice as fast as non-LFP batteries -- ie to 90% SOH. Recurent's study on Tesla's battery range degradation seems to corraborate this finding.

>> * Extremely safe; you basically can't catch it on fire... unlike NMC batteries <<

LFP has lower energy density and is heavier -- likewise LFP is mostly limited to entry-level, low-range EVs with lower c-rates or stationary energey storage system (ESS). It helps reduce thermal runaway in LFP, but they catch fire no problem. In 2022, two firemen died putting out LFP ESS fire at a shopping mall in Beijing, China. BYD also has PHEV fire problem with their blade LFPs operating at 3-5 c-rates.

LFP's key benefit at this point is their cost -- LFP has been fully commodified and mass-produced at scale under China's state industrial policy, but that's with a caveat, LFP's price competitiveness goes away when the prices of lithium/cobalt are lower than that of lithium, which has been kept artifically high by China (by shutting down lithium refineries) after its price collapse earlier this year.

POST: another caveat, LFP recyclying is also uneconomical, as there is no valuable, useful metal to recover in spent cathodes. The cost of recycling LFP would have to be subsidized by either gov't or EV OEMs.
In a similar vein, "Chip War" by Chris Miller is a more recent look at this. Not at all as dry as I expected it to be, surprisingly gripping for someone who didn't previously know much about this. It also provides a lot of historical context for the recent news of TSMC setting up factories in the US and Germany.
Thanks for mentioning that! I had an Amiga in the early nineties and consider myself pretty knowledgeable when it comes to Commodore history, but wasn't aware of this machine either. The article doesn't mention why the C900 was cancelled, but I guess Commodore was afraid to go up against IBM with a purely business-oriented machine? So they did what many other big companies have done since: bought up a startup to get the Amiga - which was successful for a while, but then they failed to invest into developing it further...
Okay, well, if I understand this correctly, the home screen is blank and has no recommendations for you. Why do you want a home screen? You want recommendations? If you want recommendations then clearly the deal is to enable history. If you don't want recommendations then there's a blank home screen. It's a trade: you're not required to enable history, and YT's not required to recommend anything.

Is the dialog preventing you from navigating to Subscriptions, Library, or other screens? It seems like the dialog's just livening up an empty space, really.
Well, lot of grey stuff can be shared with little-to-no restrictions over the internet (any pirated stuff goes pretty much unpunished, except for the occasional exemplary lawsuits). If you are paranoid, there are lotsa VPNs for affordable prices, with various anonymity levels. The only thing that really needs such anonymity to share is hard illegal stuff, which will put you in prison if you get caught. Such sites don't really have any other realistic usecase, so not really sure what were they thinking...
> You can't say "forcibly use IP w.x.y.z no matter what" to either of them.

That doesn't sound right. Are you using some kind of externally controlled list of round-robin servers?
It's always about worst-case complexity; you may be able to solve typical problems much easier. This even applies to the halting problem, which is unsolvable in general but pretty easy for most real programs.

But also, "pretty large" is relative. Wikipedia says the largest known exact solution for a traveling salesman problem is 85,900 nodes, which is not really that many.
Act of Oblivion is good too. I personally also liked the Cicero trilogy.
I mean the equivalent is also possible out of the box Erlang VM. Without having to install sidecar servers or monkey patching objects with potentially spooky action at a distance.

Erlang, from day 1, was designed to be logged in to remotely. No other system is remotely close to the sophistication that Erlang (and as a result elixir) has in this regard
Looks trippy, but the animations/colors need a bit of work. The Twitter video made my eyes hurt.

it is exactly a rerun of that argument, except that the UX of AI is different.

Basically AI is structured to make every result an answer onebox whereas in search this only happens sometimes.
Yes. The protection they have against attacks are not ad hoc. They are based on theory and are scalable. One protection strategy (often seen in web-of-trust arthitectures) is to put trust in the authenticity of the current present machine (idk how to better phrase it). This way it doesn't even matter how much of your network is comprised of bots. Your machine will reject them all.
I only see eternal stagnation as the alternative, and surely noone wants that.

Java does have very good backwards compatibility and they make every change with that in mind, but if you are big enough, no matter what you do, someone will surely depend on some stupid thing they should have never do in the first place.
That would definitely be the way to go, sadly I think the linux desktop has to much inertia and it can only solved in a different OS, called a different way with its own directory structure. Where package maintainers are instructed to not package or patch any app that do not follow sane standards, where a flatpak equivalent would not put stuff into the same directory as the user's files, where a rootless container or a vm hypervisor would not put its stuff in the same directory tree

While it is not dead, Gobolinux failed probably because it was still advertised as linux, so people expect linux to follow some standards. I have no idea how redox, haiku and serenityos are handling that stuff, I hope they have been smarter.

Hmm it's a nice idea but gravity is such a weak force that it seems like it would be hard to move significant enough bits of matter around for it to be detectable. If they were going around annihilating whole stars and clusters then maybe.

At least two years ago, yes. You're not barred from social media or blogging, but you can't do it about tech or contribute to Open Source work without very specific clearance.
Based on what I know of the rules (which is out of date by roughly 10 years), no, OP did not follow them.
I agree with you in principle, but sometimes I get my "anonymous" mood and only use Whonix, anonymous imageboards and share files using solutions similar to anonfiles. I don't really have anything to hide, I just want to spite the Googles of the world.
Best? Probably no. But the good ones willing to have high salary for sure. The best work for niche companies where they have comparable or even better conditions. Ex colleague just rejected offer from Apple and picked 30 person very specialized company.
I had the impression you need FCC cert for anything that 'transmit' radio/RF, not receivers...?
I think the name might be a problem. not really distinguishable especially in programming, hard to google.
The fact that you don’t think about them probably tells a story.
It's interesting to compare this to the usual cycles in (other) financial markets. Products fall from favour, become under priced, get noticed for being under priced, become fashionable and prices rise, become over priced and we're back at the beginning...

If other people are fleeing college (or convertible bonds or MBSs) then now is a good time to get in I imagine. Or it soon will be.
Humans don't have perfect recall, don't have virtually infinite storage and can't process requests in milliseconds.

I wouldn't be surprised if the avenue of attack is that fair use laws are for humans, not robots, and if an AI has been trained on copyrighted data, that's not fair use.

Also, don't forget that in reality what's happened is that a bunch of copyrighted text is encoded in the LLM in a way a human can't understand, but that the LLM essentially CAN understand.
I suspect this is because many poor countries are used to intermittent power, and so renewables are acceptable. In developed countries, continuous power is expected. It may be luxurious, but if power is interrupted too often the populace will reject renewables.

There's lots of gas plant construction, even in poor countries

I have one in the south of Spain and it doesn't work practically anywhere and definitely not where I sleep (since it can be set to synchronise after midnight automatically)

I bought it in part because of this feature and it was quite sad. These quartz watches are good but they still drift substantially after a few months.

Thankfully I heard of the DCF77 emulator app thanks to this thread and I will use it.
I don't think any unaided human or collective of humans could rent seek on something close to the sum total of human knowledge and expression.

Irrespective of copyright issues, the question is how to avoid creating a new class of large rent seekers in the LLM space.
iMessage and APNS is one of the largest and most reliable webscale services run by anyone. Apple's cloud product design is crap (really, you're gonna try to sell me a $5 storage plan ten minutes after buying a $2000 phone?!) but iMessage and APNS are used by hundreds of millions of devices daily and is down less than S3. Credit where credit is due.
Blue lights are the worst. They used to be everywhere around the turn of the century when blue LEDs were novel. My room used the look like some nightclub with all these useless flashing bright lights. Luckily you can always tape them off.
In my case, the book has helped me to maintain my inner peace, which is really important when you want to get into the flow-state mind during programming. Emotional maturity is important for a work environment too, ability to handle the mental health of yourself and your teammates during long work hours gives a boost in productivity.
> This should be "gives you the liability to defend those patents."

It's a right, not an obligation (an option).

And it always good to have options.

> As a small business

Maybe you're right in the case of small business, but for high growth startup, it's better to have this option, in case you'll succed in the future.

It's all about thinking optimistically vs pessimistically.

If you're a pessimist, then it's better not to do anything risky or uncertain (like starting a starup) anyway ;)
I implemented a mastermind solver the old fashioned way ~6 years ago, he started school today.
Isn't there some graph problem about finding cliques that is NP-hard (presumably NP-complete in the decision version) but that has an expected _constant_ time algorithm over the usual distribution of random graphs?

I seem to remember the algorithm is something like "check a few samples at random, if that doesn't find what you're after then do exponential-time search" and the point is the chance that the samples don't find what you're after is exponentially small, because the thing you're looking for is so frequent.
It's great to see account security being taken so seriously! Great work!
I guess if you wanted to do decompounding and stemming you should make the fields with the stemmed values and the decompounded values yourself and ... then implement it for the queries as well? Or is there a way to do that kind of thing somewhere in there?
Writing on a chalkboard is another situation where brevity is at a premium. There's limited space and the act of writing on it is slow and causes hand cramps if it's too verbose.
Gotcha. I’m not sure what options are out there. Haven’t needed to do any codegen to python - only from python.

For all its issues, the JS world typically provides an excellent developer experience and takes types far more seriously than python.

Hope you find something that helps, and if you do I’d love to hear about it.

Isn't the whole point of DMCA Safe-Haven rules, that providers are not responsible for the content they transmit...? As long as they respond to law enforcement to the best of their ability, of course (i.e. taking down after being notified). I agree that encryption is not exempting them from enacting takedowns, and that intention matters (as discussed in the MEGA case), but that should be about it.

If I build a filesharing site with clearly-good intentions, my employees don't promote piracy, and the content is encrypted, as long as I take shit down when authorities tell me it's Bad I should be in the clear, surely...?
Congratulations, you are in the top 10% for being a professional developer, correcting mistakes and not coming up with shitty excuses.

Prisoners of Geography by Tim Marshall. Fascinating story about how borders and geography shape nations. For example why would russians attack Ukraine and why are African nations less developed. Book is from 2017.

Delphi yes but moving to enterprise costing models lost the market.

.Net no they lost because .NET ios not as easy as VB6 - VB6 is more like a GUI shell language linking controls together. Easy to quickly do something but if you need more detail then not a good language you have to write the controls and that requires another language. .Net threw that ease away, if you are at the level of wanting to alter controls then yes it is better but I think having the two languages was better for enterprises. However nowadays the replacement for VB6 is web programming.
