On other hand I would be somewhat annoyed as customer if it had ended up with new items back in the shelve. You never know if something is missing or slightly broken.
I would love to come up with a business idea, and slowly grow it to be profitable.

My problem is I am very bad at coming up with a business idea in the first place. (or app idea, or website idea...) I am not sure why, probably my brain is wired differently.
That explains the half levitation

A few videos came out of full levitation, but it's pretty certain they are fake
And win.ini deserves a special place in hell. Interesting that the concept of the registry has survived this entire time as its replacement.
They added a neat feature recently where they have a popup asking you something stupid, with a button you have to click to hide it. Then, exactly as the page seems loaded enough for you to attempt tapping the button, a new popup appears from google asking if you want to share your google account with twitter, with the "agree" button in the exact position of the previous button. It didn't work on me, but seems like a pretty cool doxx nonetheless.
Why is the immediate assumption this was done intentionally and not a temporary outage? It more than likely is, but it's awful journalism to see an issue in a website and conclude that was an intentional issue targeting websites musk doesn't like. Get some facts. If Amazon delays someone's delivery, it doesn't means that Amazon is targeting that person
Wouldn't it be more accurate to say that TikTok is banned on government-owned devices?

The nuance matters; there's a significant difference between banning the app on government devices and extending that ban to personal devices owned by employees. The headline suggests a more extensive ban, but it's specifically about government-owned devices.

Furthermore, I'm puzzled as to why TikTok would be on government-issued devices in the first place. Shouldn't a standard MDM block non-essential apps by default? Why would they need TikTok on work devices, aside from perhaps a PR representative with an official presence there?
Not sure how I've never seen this before, but it is absolutely fascinating. Planned on listening to the intro, and ended up listening to the entirety of the lecture.

2005 just seems like a much simpler time. Listening to Zuck breakdown the initial technical architecture of Facebook is such a unique insight into history. Looks like around 30 students in the audience. With no idea that this "kid" is soon to be one of the richest and most powerful people in the world.
It's interesting, I worked for Atlassian 2016-2019 and they were firmly against remote work. I would have loved to keep working there (they were easily my best employer) but my priorities forced me to move away. Perhaps I'll consider going back now that they are remote friendly.
This seems like a very strange sentiment to me. Can you explain your thinking here? Do you think that, hypothetically, the climate fluctuated in similar ways with some frequency over the last 2000 years? Or even 10,000?

The only evidence I can find suggests that fluctuations like this have occurred, but never (as far as we can tell) over this short of a time span.

Here is a paper which shows that the climate appeared relatively stable over the last 2000 years: http://www.meteo.psu.edu/holocene/public_html/shared/article...

I'm interested in what information you have that suggests we shouldn't be concerned.
Not sure exactly what is logit_bias, but after Googling for 5 seconds it seems to be an OpenAI parameter that's not available in HuggingFace transformers?

Anyway, if your idea is to make one API call per token, the biggest problem with that approach is that it would be really slow to do that.
TL:DR, the w32time service will sometimes try to bootstrap the clock with data from TLS handshakes. TLS 1.0-1.2 use a random value in Client Hello/Server Hello which was originaly specified as a uint32 gmt_unix_time plus 28 random bytes. It's better [1] to fill the whole structure with 32 bytes of random data (and TLS 1.3 specifies it without reference to time). If you interpret the random data as a unix time, sometimes you're going to get weird results. It's not clear to me what servers w32time probes to get these values, either.

I've seen other services that use https to bootstrap time in case other clocks are unavailable or suspect (or use a limited expiration certificate to authenticate!), it's a bit difficult because you have to ignore or postpone checking certificate expiration when validating the x.509 certificates, parse the http date header, and then presumably check that the date provided is within the time the certificates involved are valid.

Usually it happens anyways, just delayed. Old people usually don't want to move, but the younger people are more flexible and move away as soon as they can if they don't see any future.

Then these towns get older and older until eventually they won't be viable anymore (or find something else to still attract young people).

So the trends are happening, they are just delayed by a couple of decades. As the average life expectation grows the cycles get longer however.
The same thing happens with Musk. I hate Musk as much as the next guy, I am anything but a fanboy and I don't have or want a Tesla. Still it is delusional and childish to insist that Tesla and SpaceX would have been just have successful without him.

I read something like "the internet has killed nuance" and it's so true. Could terrible people also be successful businessmen? Nope! All good or all bad any anyone who says anyone in between is blinded by their adoration.
> The police have no obligation to protect you

If the government not only is not willing to do its duty to enforce the laws against crime, but even has the gall to claim that that's not the government's job, then all the more reason why law-abiding citizens will be motivated to exercise their right to keep and bear arms.

This misrepresentation and miscategorization of people with legitimate complaints about public health policy is the entire problem with discourse here.

The petition against lockdowns made perfect sense at the time and still does today. Countries like Sweden have not seen the long term outcomes models predicted, and these models were used to inform public health policy, despite our knowledge _at the time_ that they were poorly made, in many cases unreproducible, and a poor proxy for empirical evidence. This empirical evidence had led to the CDC guidelines we had for outbreaks that we threw out of the window at the beginning of the pandemic.

There is very little decent science around masks. Masks have not been shown to avoid spreading or catching illnesses, even in those professional settings that you mention. For example, take this analysis of 3 RCTs that does not find substantial evidence to support the benefit of even N95 masks in clinical settings:

https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M23-0570

What was produced at the beginning of the pandemic was a doctrine. It was, and still is, not absurd to question that doctrine.
Install nginx. Put the photos in folders in your ~/www dir. Enable indexing. It's incredibly secure and has pretty much zero maintainence. Just link people to the http://yourIPhere/photos/ dir.

The units for resistivity would be ohms*cm (Ohms times a length), not Ohms per cm. Then if you divide by the cross-sectional area of a sample, you would get the resistance per length.

Sixty Symbols released a video about this yesterday, and in it professor Philip Moriarty is less than impressed with the whole ordeal. I haven't been paying attention, I'm too jaded and skeptical and assumed from the start that there was something wrong and much hype about nothing.

Lockdowns were smart, but they did demonstrate that US citizens can't trust their government to help them in a crisis. Everything shutdown and many many people couldn't work, which meant they couldn't support themselves.

In the UK people out of work were given 80% of their pay. Denmark paid people 75% of their income. The Netherlands gave their people 90% of their wages. All of this on top of their already strong social services and safety nets which helped make sure that people were taken care of.

In the US we got nothing until after a lot of government fighting we were reluctantly given a couple $1,000 "stimulus" checks leaving Americans with record amounts of household debt. We're still seeing the impacts in increasing rates of utility disconnections and rising numbers of evictions and homelessness which will likely continue to get worse long before they improve.
In addition to that all pro-russian stance makes 0-sense in regards of SpaceX business.

If anyone wants to try one and will be in the St. Louis area in late September, let me know (e-mail is my profile). There are at least 100 pawpaw trees in the woods behind my house and there's at least a dozen pieces of fruit ready to be picked that time of year.
Certainly it is about expectations. JC Penny was all about the sales. That's when you knew to shop. So they trained their customers for it and suddenly abandoned it and people didn't know what to think.
The issue is not what they are doing but who is doing it.

The scale and scope of applications like TikTok means that China can broadcast a message to basically all Americans 16-24 or so. And not just an announcement… they can use the algorithm and the feedback they receive to create groupthink for whatever they want.

This would have been an absolute nightmare scenario during the Cold War. Imagine the US decides to start a war with China over, say, Taiwan. China will undoubtedly try to use TikTok to spread anti American sentiment and turn the youth against their own government.

It's the pretence that it's not time that I don't like - not that people try to use it for or need something for time estimations.

I often find myself saying things like 'well it's trivial, but it's going to be quite a slog because xyz' - leave it up to someone else how they want to point that.

E.g. every single endpoint needs to be reviewed and updated to use appropriate status codes, where previously responses have all been 200 with potential error message. API is already versioned, this will be a breaking change but no need to worry about that or the clients at all. -- low complexity, very time consuming.

I suppose high complexity tasks are less often quick, or at least not that you would know in advance (optimise SQL query, identify cause if & fix bug) but certainly low complexity tasks can be very slow.
I agree that is a great approach - build around the main use cases and then make exceptions. I think a lot of companies have legitimate use cases for real-time analytics (outside of their internal decision making), but as you mention, preemptively optimize for the aspiration and leads them towards unnecessary tool and tech sprawl. For example, a marketplace application that shows you the quantity of an item currently available -- you as a consumer use that information to make a decision in seconds, so its a great use-case. Internally, the org probably uses that data for weekly or quarterly forecasting. I've seen use cases like that lead to the "let's make everything real-time", but not every use case benefits the same from real-time.
Furthermore, preemptively reacting to expected third-party behaviors is doomed.

Journalists are going to write nonsense, hype-filled science articles. PR flacks are going to hype puff newswire blurbs. Why? Because that's what they're paid to do.

You can curse the existence of bad incentives, if you want annoying ideologues to call you a communist.

Or you can hire your own PR flacks. Because worrying about how people will react to what you're doing is PR, and going up against professionals without your own is like going to court without a lawyer.

Or you can just, you know, do science, accept that people suck sometimes, and get on with your life.
Out of curiosity has this been tested extensively by people at DefCon, BlackHat and the Chaos Computer Club perhaps with rewards to successfully extracting and/or tampering with DL data from people at airports?
Per the article, CU2S was well-characterised in the 50s.

The CU2S was a confounding factor because 104C is where it undergoes phase changes, which drastically change its resistivity. So the change in resistivity was from the CU2S impurities, not the LK99 itself. As the tail end of the article notes, when researchers grew a completely pure crystal of LK99 they got a strong insulator (in the mega-ohms).

And as a nearby commenter notes, neither 0.02 ohm-cm nor 0.002 ohm-cm is even a good conductor: typical conductor metals (gold, copper, silver, aluminum) are under 3e-6.
I have been hosting it locally for a couple of months now.

Stuff I like:

- The mobile app is quite friendly
- It supports "automatic upload" (after opening the app)
- It supports deleting pictures from the device after uploading (to save space... much needed on the wife's old iphone)
- The pictures are stored hierarchically on the filesystem
- Very lightweight (the whole docker setup uses less than 128MB of RAM)

Stuff I'm not a fan of:

- The web interface is "okay". It could use some modernizing.
- When there's no more space on the device, the app fails to upload new pictures, but gives no error message.

All in all, Piwigo is a solid 7.5/10 for me, but I'm watching and testing some other active software such as https://immich.app/

Funny you say that, I actually started learning iOS/MacOS development recently, my goal was to release some apps on the App Store.

I don't have problems with learning and building the apps, my problem is how to come up with an app idea that people would actually use, and I could monetize it somehow.
This article reminds me a bit of the Java advocates who used to pop up in every discussion comparing programming languages and remark that, well actually, Java's reputation as a slow language full of boilerplate is wholly underserved and JVMs are in fact beating speed benchmarks left and right.

And it's not wrong - you can write fast and concise Java if you are very disciplined, know exactly what you are doing and stay clear of most dependencies. However, that's hardly relevant in practice as both the language as well as the ecosystem and the established "best practices" want you to abandon both conciseness and efficiency in favour of some vague goal of extensibility.

I think it's the same with Jira. Sure, you can use Jira as a simple Kanban board, but then, why would you buy a Jira license in the first place? There are cheaper tools for that. On the other hand, even if Jira advocates tell you that insanely complex workflows are wrong, all of the software is geared to supporting exactly those kinds of workflows. So if you're actually want to get your money's worth from a Jira license then you'll have to design complicated workflows and add numerous special fields.

It will be a good thing.

For example, there are a bunch of people with different experiences than mine who are obscure not because their lives are boring but because they don't know how to write engagingly. I would love if the could use AI to help them write a fascinating and engaging story of their life

There are a lot of people who have great artistic ideas in their head but because they don't have the skills, the ideas are stuck in their head. It will be great for them to be able to express them and have others benefit them.

The story of our civilizations advancements have been removing gatekeepers and letting the common person do more and more. From literacy, to religious freedom, to self-government, there is a movement from gatekeeping to allowing the regular person to express themselves.
TikTok provides unfettered data access to the US military?
I wish I had the time to delve a bit deeper into those case of voting restrictions, because they're both more interesting than the surface level reported by the media (which is approximately that "GOP only wants landowning white males to vote"); but I have a busy week, so I'll have to settle for a few short counter-points, even though I appreciate your reasoned discourse and would like to continue in more depth. I really do!

First, on the Allen v. Milligan case, it's illustrative to imagine instead what would be the appropriate number of majority-black districts? The state is 68.9% white and 26.8% black[0] and has seven congressional districts. 26.8% of seven is 1.876, so one (which is what it is currently) is too few and two is actually too many. If all districts reflected the state's demographics as a whole equally, none would be majority-black. Besides, I think it imprudent to assume that people vote on racial lines; as the majority opinion notes, "The Court’s opinion does not diminish or disregard the concern that [section 2 of the Voting Rights Act] may impermissibly elevate race in the allocation of political power within the States", and that "racial gerrymandering, even for remedial purposes, may balkanize us into competing racial factions; it threatens to carry us further from the goal of a political system in which race no longer matters". Both the majority and the dissents are worth reading, as usual.

On the second point of campus voting, I think there is reasonable room to argue on what the voting age should be. Prior to the 26th Amendment in 1971, the voting age was 21; which meant that for most of the country's history, young first-time voters already had many years of work experience under their belts and were further on their way to "adulthood". Nowadays, someone at the first-time voting age of 18 is less likely than ever to have worked[1].

Besides, if limiting suffrage is anti-democratic, then is expanding suffrage necessarily pro-democratic? There have been attempts at lowering the voting age to 16[2]; would it be considered anti-democratic to oppose such an action? And even states that are perennially unfriendly to big-C Conservatism based on voting record[3], like New York and New Jersey, were among states that made voting more difficult[4] recently.

All this to say: we should continue to have rational debates on the best way to ensure the ongoing health of the nation (that is, politics), and we would all be served better if one side was not depicted as acting against ("anti democratic pattern of behavior") that health, at least not without critical examination.

I'm just trying to imagine how you think it would have gone down in Nazi Germany if a Jewish group tried to sue the Nazi party for their oppressive treatment of the Jewish people.

How you see the Holocaust as a parallel to what trans people are going through is a wild over-exaggeration of the situation, though it makes sense your argument needs such a thing as it can't stand on its own.

Trans people are not, in any way, shape or form, being oppressed to anything even remotely approaching the degree Jewish people experienced in the Holocaust, and the idea that "if only trans people could have more privacy this wouldn't be an issue" is so nonsensical it borders on delusion.
I love free speech, but you're going to have to convince me with a lot of evidence that Germany restricting pro-Nazi speech after WW2 was bad.
You seem to be very close to the insight that human behavior and preferences have nature and nurture influences that are hard for everyone to overcome, and impossible for many. It’s fine to look down on those people, but that doesn’t change the reality.
