doubtful? Have you see the crime in SF? Walgreens has to have nearly everything locked up.

You are right though. It's not just the crime. It's because the current government isn't willing to prosecute criminals that are stealing from these businesses.

SF is starting to resemble Detroit, which has nearly no grocery stores in the city limits because of rampant crime.
"If this set of facts had been slightly different, then your take on firing people and excluding them from public venues for refusing to agree to an unproven and experimental medical procedure might be different."

I mean, not really? Some things in life are more important than assiduously avoiding death by a respiratory infection.
Please stop trying to make flamewars happen in a forum specifically moderated to not have them.

You have literally everywhere else on the internet to argue left vs right, some people want to have a different style of debate and come here for it (since it is designed for that different kind of debate).

EDIT: To be clear, that different style of debate is trying to understand and solve problems rather than just lay blame for political points.

EDIT2: Please focus on the constructive part of your statements. I think it’s fine you want to hire more police, that was not the rule breaking part of your argument (the entire argument had to follow the rules). The mostly unrelated attacks on straw men political parties and specific politicians are the problem.

EDIT3: I agree that more police officers may be part of the solution. I think they are not, however, a panacea and we should spend more time thinking about the aspirations of what we want downtown SF to be more than thinking about how to remove people we do not like from it.
Amazon isn't the same thing as AWS. Amazon might have bought Fig and kept the team separate, or they might've kept the tech and shortly after let the team go.
Well. Have you tasted possum or raccoon? They're pretty gamey.
In Houston, owning a car is pretty simple. I pay a registration and insurance online and I am done. Car has problems? There are a hundred car shops around that fix it in a day or two for a fraction of the cost a dealer asks. Gas price is fine. No problem with break in or theft either in the ten years I was in Houston.

And maybe because it is Houston, but there is no problem being LGBTQ here or having progressive ideals. The local government is left leaning but the state is right leaning so they kind of balance out imo. I actually saw true diversity and freedom of expression in Houston compared to the SF's version of it where there are certain types of topic everyone has to tiptoe around. In Houston, even truly controversial opinions are still allowed because for better or worse, there are some people in power who share that opinion, no matter if it is far left or right. IMO, that is better but I understand this can be subjective.
Seems like a person who has a lot of strong political opinions they don't seem to be aware of, writing a long post about how other people are silly for having political opinions.
Maybe you need better wealth redistribution, higher taxes, better schools, better gun control, it's different from back then because now there are rights, institutions.. the fact that someone in US on this place, that is supposed to be like a place where you find people with a certain brain power, to me it's sign of a certain decadence if the people with supposedly brain of a country say that the answer to modern crime is modern robots cowboys, it's one of those situations where one doesn't know if it has to cry or to laugh
Wait, still?

I thought they rolled out firmware updates already: the alarm system has to be deactivated by the fob button before the physical key (or any other twisting device) will work.

> Both companies also offer a free software patch that they say removes the threat of theft, which requires visiting a dealer.

Why port? Just make it tidier and bind it with f2py so you can use the kernels together with numpy in your glue.
First, shoddy research getting published because it matches authors' and reviewers' bias is not some immanent part of the scientific method.

Second, that is not what the comment was about. It was about repeated debunking of reality's supposed liberal bias from which its fans consistently refuse to learn.

This is kind of cool, last year the trees in my yard released an obnoxious amount of acorns compared to most years. This explains why.
Llama 2 is nowhere near the capability of GPT-4 for general purpose tasks
IPv6 has the advantage that the ISP can give customers multiple prefixes at the same time, thus allowing rotation of the prefix without interrupting existing TCP connections.

With IPv4, ISPs that want to rotate IP addresses have to forcibly disconnect their users (e.g. every 24h). This is a common practice, though probably mostly intended to allow charging business customers more if they need a stable IP. But the privacy side effect is also nice.

But other than that minor point (which many ISPs are not taking advantage of), IPv4 addresses and IPv6 network prefixes are essentially the same privacy-wise: uniquely identifying an ISP customer, i.e. a family, not an individual.
Here we go, the first step of wringing profit out of the platform has begun.
Well, there's a multiplier between the nominal capacity and the capacity you actually need to purchase for your whole system. You're not buying just that 1 TB. You probably want at least two live failover servers at least, maybe more. Plus however many layers of backups and disaster recovery; a year of weekly backups makes your 1 TB into 50, even if it's offline storage.

My own company struggles with that - throwing more storage on the live db is easy, so we've kept doing that for years, but pushing around multi-terabyte backups is getting cumbersome and we're going to have to slim down the data in prod even at the cost of engineer effort.

The manifesto sure sounds like it's coming from a (security) consultant, not a developer.

> Recognize the open-source code consumption's real risks.

> Establish open-source software consumption policies and test them against risk tolerance and other objectives.

> Adopt and refine tooling, best practices, and processes for tracking and enhancing the security of consumed OSS.

Rather than writing manifesto's I recommend getting your hands dirty in the trenches. Show, don't tell.

As the lobbying seems to be aimed at "software developer organizations" consuming Open Source, I was expecting a recommendation along the lines of: contribute either money or time sustaining the project you rely on.
You’re mistaken then, using unsafe does not mean throwing away the safety guarantees. This is a common misconception though, even among Rust users
Sell the same product under two brands at the same time?

Optimal business strategy. Makes it look like there's more competition, and changes the decision from "do we use ChatGPT" to "Which GPT vendor do we use?"

> Given that screening is arguably benign for most people

You're 100% wrong here, this is not a given. Prostate cancer screenings, which are very common, can have both false positives as well as findings of cancer that is and would remain completely benign. These can both lead to unnecessary treatments that cause serious negative health effects, including incontinence and erectile dysfunction.

You shouldn't unless you want to use the new open source standard for telemetry. You won't benefit from simplicity or performance improvements. It would be quite the opposite. You can check what is the actual cost of open telemetry adoption here [0]

But if you ever decide to go this path - VictoriaMetrics supports OpenTelemetry protocol for metrics [1]

Certainly! In this case, they were interested in files that were too permissive.

I don't have a good example of the command, but it was basically looking for 'worldly' permissions that were too open. It's important to note the users/groups could be discarded/ignored.

They were using 'find ... -exec ls -ld {} \;', which does an LDAP lookup on each result to resolve UIDs and GIDs to names.

They could have made the process far more efficient with either the native '-ls' argument built into find, or adding '-n' to the exec'd 'ls'

Either would skip the name resolution/domain. At a certain number of results/files the expense is too high, causing the job to time out

> Salgado remembered [adding '@'] when “we actually changed the language to help these communities… that was mainly for the data science people,” where this operation is very commonly used.

For a bit of ancient history, the first time this happened was back in the 1990s for 1.4beta2. From Misc/HISTORY:

- Changes for use with Numerical Python: built-in function slice() and
Ellipses object, and corresponding syntax:

x[lo:hi:stride] == x[slice(lo, hi, stride)]
x[a, ..., z] == x[(a, Ellipses, z)]

That one change, IMO, made Python significantly more useful for numerical computing and data science people.

I think "@" is the second time this happened. Did I miss one?

(Perhaps third, if we count adding the __index__ method from PEP 357.)

The vaccines' ability to reduce transmission was never demonstrated in any rigorous controlled trial at all. Almost no one except those in very high risk groups takes them anymore. People lost valuable careers, including a friend of mine who poured his heart and soul into caring for old folks in an assisted living facility, for no public health benefit whatsoever.
The WSJ article is behind a paywall so I can't double check this, but you can have a 99% accurate test with a 20% misdiagnosis rate. The difference is that 99% is per-person, and 20% is per-positive-result. A rare condition will have more false-positives relative to true-positives than the test accuracy would indicate.

It's a bit easier to understand if you think of the extreme case: if the disease is completely eliminated than all positives are false-positives.

> "Stories often touch on topics like space travel, benevolent robots, disease-curing nanobots, and deep-sea exploration. They lack aliens and beings with superpowers. Instead, the real superheroes are the exceptional North Korean scientists and technologists who carry the weight of the world on their shoulders."

Here is an interesting symmetry as reflected by ideological mirrors. In NK, the state sanctioned imaginal worlds lack others that are superior, and superheroes are loyal technocrats. Here in the West, "market driven" Hollywood insists superheroes are distinct tiny subset of humanity and that it is to our benefit that they are hidden but highly organized. And no, you can't just become one of the special superheroes. Both are aiming to pacify the target society.
That reminds me I have some kangaroo ("roo ragout") in the fridge.
Well if I only have to re-test 1% of cases maybe I can even use a more accurate test the second go-round.
Representation clause is just language defined way of how struct (Record in Ada) Enum or Array are actually laid out in memory. So, for example, you can define a struct that represents a register, overlay that register address and use it like this:

procedure Enable_USB_Clock is
begin
Registers.PMC_Periph.PMC_SCER.USBCLK := 1;
end Enable_USB_Clock;

OTel is the backend, in-program equivalent of "we need all of five analytics systems on our frontend to figure out that users bounce when our page takes 10s to load because it has five analytics systems in it".
I feel like the terms in use around this are quite abstract and hard to reason about. I like that the wikipedia article converts this to something more useful to intuit for most of us:

> Even heat-adapted people cannot carry out normal outdoor activities past a wet-bulb temperature of 32 °C (90 °F), equivalent to a heat index of 55 °C (131 °F). A reading of 35 °C (95 °F) – equivalent to a heat index of 71 °C (160 °F) – is considered the theoretical human survivability limit for up to six hours of exposure.

The US NWS, for example, uses heat index commonly. In the US south I seldom see it go much over 110F, and six hours is a long time to be exposed to the elements even at the current levels of heat.

This isn't just a case of hitting some threshold where we all drop dead, but as temperatures rise it will slowly cause people to migrate to more temperate climates and/or seek out better cooling structures (either actively through air conditioning or passively where that isn't an option).
"There is no problem being LGBTQ here"

Yeah, famously no hostile laws against queer people in Texas. https://www.texastribune.org/2023/08/25/texas-transgender-ki...
Enforcing the law is necessary but not sufficient. In order for luxury retailers to succeed in a particular area they have to present a safe and comfortable experience to affluent shoppers. Having a bunch of Dalek like security robots roaming the store isn't compatible with that experience.
I think the consensus on cancer screening is stil not fully there? Came across this video by a cardiologist a long time ago

https://youtu.be/yNzQ_sLGIuA?si=fUttSVFQjsrIqc-p

I guess the main gist is that screening is not completely benign and a positive screen might lead to more interventions for what in the end could just be a benign tumor. Then there's the other point of detecting it late in life. Like treatment for cancer might not make much sense if you are already 89 years old
Malls have been on the decline for decades. The two malls closest to me put a "no unattended minors" policy in place. When I was a teenager, you just...went to the mall. Mall management is choking off a huge source of foot traffic to avoid the hassle of telling kids to stop fucking around.

The closest mall to me has lost two of its anchor stores. One of the malls near my old apartment in Chicago had a theater, an axe throwing venue...and some offices to fill some of the dozens of vacant retail locations. It's been in a downward spiral for years. Loss of visitors has led to more loss of visitors, shoplifting aside.

And what happens when the "legitimate" foot traffic goes away? The shops are empty. Not just from shoppers, but from staff. I wanted to buy a dress shirt a couple weeks ago at my local Macy's. I walked around the floor for nearly 15 minutes and couldn't find a single employee. There was one at a single checkout in a back corner. And so why is it a surprise that when shoppers disappear, staff is cut, and the shoplifting rate goes up? It seems obvious to me.

These big stores should have fewer locations that are smaller and more well-maintained. Spread themselves less thin and whole-ass the stores that they can actually afford to staff and secure.
or at least become more annoyingly entangled with stuff, like Minecraft + Microsoft
The article quotes some one saying this isnt a call to abandon screenings in totality.

The risks are not 'car crash from doctors visit' they are 'got cancer from imaging', 'unnecessary surgery and complications', etc - the risks are directly related to the screening.

This is an active topic in medical ethics as well which you seem ignored of (no offense intended), given that you are framing this in terms of insurance or public health from the perspective of a beaurocrat - the bottom line is that if your screening is more likely to kill or maim you than the thing being screened for then that screening shouldn't be standard practice, and when it is less clear cut than that you still have to make a determination about which screenings make sense to perform on a population level.

That is something that a caring doctor has to think about as part of their duty, there is the very real potential to do much more harm than good by being thoughtless about the interventions you perform.

Which sounds like a pretty terrible idea in itself. At least to me, it would sound pretty chaotic if the edit that wins out on Wikipedia is the one that receives the most votes by other Wikipedia users, and if you wanted to get something on Wikipedia fixed, you'd need to gather enough people to support your fix over the previous version.

I've ran into issues with Wikipedia mods ignoring sources and going off whatever priors they had, but at least then I was able to just passive-aggressively berate them on the talk page to get them to bend.

Over 700 allegedly fatal crashes attributable to FSD [1] that Tesla has officially reported to the government over a estimated 400M miles on FSD. Making the driver 150x more likely to be involved in a fatal crash than if they were driving on their own.

Note that these are based on auditable published statistics and are likely a overestimate of the risk as we must assume the worst when doing safety-critical analysis. Tesla could improve these numbers by not deliberately suppressing incident reports and by not deliberately choosing not investigate to avoid confirming fatality reports. But, until they do so we need to err on the side of caution and the consumer instead of the for-profit corporation.

Microsoft has a stake in OpenAI but they don't have a controlling interest in it. What they got instead was exclusive access to the models on Azure. So they benefit from OpenAIs success but they benefit more from their own success in the space and in a way they are competitors.

to add - the scapegoat here is also particularly useful to take attention away from consumer changes that would effect to operate expensive retail properties.

Not saying it is one or the other, just that nordstrom would be particularly motivated to shift blame because of what the alternative says about their broader business model. So maybe not taking them at their word.

That being said, i'll note that I'm SHOCKED how normalized shoplifting has become not just among 'the criminal element' but among my social set which is decidedly not your typical criminals. Stealing, especially from self checkouts, is increasingly openly discussed in my experience - and generally framed as 'its them paying me for doing their job of checking me out' or 'countering inflation/corporate greed'. Whether I agree with the morality of it or not and juts note that it is increasingly normalized. More broadly, I struggle with feeling sorry for corporations when the public lives under a never ending stream of abuse from corporate policies and control (c.f., everything being a subscription).

I think I good question we can ask, are any major brands building new stores in San Francisco? That would be a good indicator of whether or not brands see the market as too-risky or that Nordstrom is using a convenient scapegoat.

I’m asking here the locals here, I haven’t been to the city in over 20 years so I haven’t the slightest idea.

> Our engineers generally work in small teams and interact with an even smaller subset of the monorepo.

The article says. But if Google does it it must be good.
> Was that because of Scrum, or in spite of it and you might have been even more successful doing something else?

There's no question in my mind: in spite of it. In every place I've seen it done, Scrum has impeded quality software development, not enhanced it.

As I stated, my experience acting as a Scrum Master is what convinced me that Scrum is not a good thing.
