"Rarely ever" and "when they do" suggests this happens more often than "I've never heard of this as a thing" here in Europe.

With higher voltages, fewer transformers are needed. Power lines are buried, and transformers are generally larger and not exposed to weather.
You are not allowed to release and sell a game using the Game Porting Kit. Apple will strike you down for that. It's only here to help developers port their games to use Metal, which is peak Apple: force everyone to use your unused, non standard API to support a few thousand customers.

But then again, let's face the truth: Apple doesn't care about having Counter Strike on your Macbook. They make billions doing absolutely fuck all and taking 30% of all microtransactions on all App Store games.
>With this statement you’re arguing past the person you’re responding to. If you are taking cash on the side to feign ignorance when the DEA comes squawking about the meth lab in your basement then you are clearly in the know.

Ironic that you're doing what you accused me of. I didn't say the person was taking cash, I asked WHEN op would consider the person to be culpable. You literally took an entire discussion and clipped four words then made up a bunch of stuff I didn't actually say or even imply.

>The original question is if you are honestly unaware (and not negligent) that your property is being used to commit a crime, are you culpable for the crime? The answer is a resounding “no”.

That was NOT the original question. The original question was whether or not someone could sue the police for removing malware and patching their system. My example was the cops shutting down a meth lab and locking the door.

Be my guest attempting to sue, and be prepared to have to defend yourself in a court of law that you were truly unaware. That's going to be a VERY expensive proposition - so who in their right mind would even start down that path?
I also opted for this laptop even as it only has 2 usb-c ports (no other connectors) and even worse no physical mouse buttons. However, this is the first ThinkPad for a long time that has a really good thermal design and good battery life. I am happy. And I actually even find myself using the touch pad from time to time.
Nice recap.
Trying to figure out space available from the number of people seems unreliable, but I wonder if you can use a set of heuristics such as having a max weight at which point the elevator is assumed full and if it stops to let someone on but the weight doesn't increase assume the elevator is full (maybe require this to happen twice in a row?, IDK, false positives probably aren't too expensive.)

Didn't this eventually become what is now pathlib (which I am a big fan of) ?
I'm hoping that the Apple Game Porting Toolkit signals a shift to more games support.

Thankfully, the Apple Silicon machines are powerful enough to support many modern games. I'm currently (and happily) playing Baldur's Gate 3 using Wineskin on my M1 MBP with no problems. So far no bugs, and multiplayer with PC users works great.
Likewise, I keep checking games and seeing only Win and Mac listed, and I just don't get it. Maybe the change will take a little while to impact?

> The final piece of Google’s strategy today came in the form of a subtle, and very vague, announcement from Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang on stage in a brief appearance of only a few minutes. Huang announced that Google and Nvidia had been collaborating with a new language model development framework, PaxML, built on top of Google’s cutting-edge machine learning framework JAX and its Accelerated Linear Algebra framework (or XLA).

My only thought is, I wonder how well the nvidia/google partnership will do against Azure/Intel (I believe Azure invested heavily in FPGA's for their ML use cases).

I would use RSS to aggregate the different sources I care about. You can use the unnoficial HN RSS feed to stay on-top of certain LLM keywords, and try to scrape together different reliable source websites that have Atom/RSS feeds.

The end-result is a chronological feed of syndicated data, stored in one OPML file and portable across different apps. Your mileage may vary, but this works great for me.

Python ended up 'specializing' in data contexts, thanks to Numpy / Pandas, and as a result, ended up becoming the first exposure to programming than anyone doing data stuff had. That was millions of people. In that space, it had no competitors.

Ruby ended up 'specializing' in web dev, because of Rails. But when Node and React came out, Ruby on Rails had to compete with Nodejs + React / MERN as a way of building a web app. Since people first learning programming to build a web app would usually start with javascript anyway (since a lot of very first projects might not even need a backend), it was a lot easier for the Nodejs/React route to become the default path. Whereas if you were a data scientist, you started on python, and as you got better, you basically just kept using python.
Yes, the missing part of all the transportation debate is how existing driving conditions in many areas make motorists miserable even in the absence of cyclists. There are many people who are driving teetering on the edge of explosive rage (or already well beyond it). Their aggressive behavior spreads out and infects others. All road users are affected. Indeed it is actually likely other motorists who numerically suffer the most from this undercurrent of rage. Motorists just happen to be less vulnerable than cyclists and pedestrians so they don't have the same level of terror that these drivers can evoke in the more vulnerable road users.

Unfortunately I don't think these problems can be solved with improved bike infrastructure in most cities (though I'm not opposed to it). I think it has more to do with the continual strain of long commutes and the horrible frustration of driving in traffic. Unless we build a world in which driving long distances is truly optional for the vast majority of citizens, road rage is likely to be pervasive and we will all suffer the consequences.

Good marketing: it’s not even a simple language but people marketed it as executable pseudo-code and it worked.

> It's also funny because it kinda became true on another level as "Win32 Is Only Stable on Linux". It's easier to run old games and softwares (XP era and earlier) with Proton under Linux than on current Windows 10/11

Yeah, I'm gonna call that out as suspicious. Maybe on a few select titles, but the Wine database shows tons of titles that still won't run above "Silver"; all of which run just fine on newer versions of Windows. The older games that Windows can't run are usually due to some insanely intrusive DRM solution which also wouldn't run on Wine.

And this isn't me as some Windows fanboy, my comment history clearly shows I'm a Linux user; but that statement is just ridiculous on its face.

Electricians specialize. Resi guys do residential and rarely to never handle 3 phase. I do commercial and light industrial because heavy industry isn't around here and I despise doing resi work.

Well space research is not a problem, as long as it is research. My problem is that it is becoming a business ("we want to launch a lot of rockets and make money out of it") behind the excuse of "saving the human species and making colonies on Mars".

The space business is a problem for our objective of "surviving sustainably on Earth" (which at this point is synonymous with "surviving on Earth".
I definitely remember reading about similar cases on HN some time ago: random HR tries to poach a dev from a company, but during the interview they manage to hack the current employer of the dev. Maybe I can even find it... (though don't hold your breath)

How to Review Jupyter Notebooks in GitHub
The problem is with being either dogmatic or thoughtless in either direction. I've seen what you're talking about: people combine code religiously because of DRY, leading to insane pyramids of abstractions that are impossible to modify.

However, I've also seen people copy and paste everything they ever need. When that happens, those offshoots gradually evolve independently from one another, and introducing a proper abstraction becomes a huge slog. I've spent hours reading through git blame trying to piece together a phylogenetic tree of the various copies of the same code so we can ensure that the new abstraction contains all relevant features and bug fixes. I wish those developers had thought more carefully about DRY.

I think the best balance is to use these catch phrases as principles to guide your decision making, while being willing to make exceptions when they don't apply. If DRY makes you think for a second before copying a piece of code, it's done its job, even if you decide that this situation really does call for a copy.

If you're curious the stack is node/postgres and vanilla HTML, CSS and JavaScript on the front-end. It has an OAuth 2 JSON API.
Rather, test at the extreme points. If you're using a size_t counter, test 0, 1, and SIZE_MAX items. Etc for other sizes & types.
A few reasons:

1) A contract requires a meeting-of-the-minds around an agreement. For an EULA, you click [I agree].

2) A contract requires consideration. With an EULA, there is generally clear consideration exchanged.

3) It's called an "agreement" whereas the LGPL/GPL/AGPL is very careful never to do that or to ever say "agree"

4) the drafters stated it's not an agreement

... and so on. In other words, every effort is made into making EULAs act as contracts, and the opposite for FSF licenses.

More background: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/enforcing-gpl.html

Excerpt for where to start reading: "This right to exclude implies an equally large power to license—that is, to grant permission to do what would otherwise be forbidden. Licenses are not contracts: the work's user is obliged to remain within the bounds of the license not because she voluntarily promised, but because she doesn't have any right to act at all except as the license permits."
The analogy is not apt.

In most cases the victims were not aware, meaning they still had ample use of their proverbial property. This is in fact the normally desired state of malware, to act like a pest or a leech - your estate suffers but not in a very noticeable way.

I think most people would object to their yard being turned upside down because some e.g. illegal grasshoppers were present...so in that sense yes they should provide notice...if able.

Which is where the concept of "estate" falls apart a bit. Unless you can positively map every node to a single responsible actor, then it is unreasonable to provide notice. Furthermore, there are so many components to modern tech systems that it is not reasonable that anyone would know or care the exact goings on of their systems (usually).

That is, if you use the web and execute from it, in some sense you cannot (or should not) hold fully liable any one entity, in some small sense the malware has turned your computer into public property anyways, so the actions of the FBI are not entirely unreasonable.

If you cry foul this action then even more so you should cry foul the actions of any public update service etc...vendor updates always carry a similar risk.

What I could say, if there were some common message format for indicating to the user what was to happen, then it would be reasonable to require notification of such. But likely there is no such thing so mainly this argument is rhetorical.
The patient is not interested in the effect on the average life expectancy of all people in society, they are only interested in their own case when they are diagnosed early enough to have treatment that will extend their life if they have cancer. This is a different sub-population.
Well they can be, until they boil dry, and the thermal cut out kicks in.

Prior to the late 70s / early 80s so called "automatic kettles" were not necessarily all that common in the UK, and one had to manually switch them off.

I certainly recall a time or two with a kitchen full of steam due to forgetting about putting the kettle on.
If they do, yes. But somehow I doubt it...
The current main hurdle keeping people off Linux Gaming is Anti-Cheat rootkit/kernel-module software such as Valorant's Vanguard or Call of Duty's Richochet.

If you need Windows to play Call of Duty, you're probably going to stick with Windows for everything because of the hassle.

My understanding is there is no technical reason these anti-cheats cannot work via Proton, but the anti-cheat makers will ban if they figure out you're not on Windows out of some weird fear of people having root access to the system. I could be wrong, however.
Metrics, logs, and traces are abstract categories of telemetry data, representing the most common modalities of how that data is produced and consumed. They are explicitly not specific or concrete types that can be precisely defined by an e.g. Protobuf schema

These domain concepts are descriptive, not proscriptive. They don't, and can't possibly, have specific wire-level definitions. So another way to phrase my point might be to say that OTel is asserting definitions which doesn't actually exist.

Telemetry necessarily requires specialization between producer (application/service) and consumer (observability backend) in order to deliver acceptable performance. It's core to the program as it is written: more like error handling than e.g. containerization.
Standardizing on a single language/toolset is a form of tech debt and has similar up/downsides. Comparable to, for example, how skipping testing will increase your velocity in the short run, but it will hurt it in the long run.
I was not. My field was Langlands and it is considered one of the freshest and most fertile fields of math. You can search that for yourself.

I have been reading a lot of adjacent papers to this recently. Here is a useful collection for anyone interested: https://github.com/zengyh1900/Awesome-Image-Inpainting

I have noticed an overwhelming trend that the vast majority of authors tend to be Chinese sounding names even when associated with an US based university. Obviously some of those could be Americans as well but it stood out to such a degree I was curious if anyone had any insight.

Also if there is code (this projects links to github but it's empty), it tends to be basically abandonware once these papers are published with no effort towards commercializing or turning into healthy open source projects for some reason.
It could also mean there are other negative forces balancing out the positive forces. Negative outcomes for broad screening include.

- Early testing means more visits to the hospitals/clinics. Those are famously dangerous places to get sick.

- False positives mean unneeded treatment. That can shorten your life.

- Finding things earlier also means earlier treatment. That can kill you. Every trip to a hospital means a non-zero risk of catching MRSA and other nasties.

- Some things would be handled by the immune system anyway. The treatment might provide no benefit over an ignorant outcome.

I also find it easy to believe that among all the oncologists and hospitals, some of them might be at best neutral, or even net-negative in mortality and morbidity. This is about the whole population, not just leading units at famous hospitals. There are doctors out there with the ethics of a bent mechanic.
I got a yoga x1 with the i7-1370P. Very strong cpu, great memory, turns into a tablet, very lightweight, no dedicated nvidia GPU, great battery life.
I moved from Matlab to Python in grad school once my thesis program got too big. It's open, which beats Wolfram. You don't have to manage memory, which beats C/C++. And it has a lot less boilerplate than System.out.println('Java').

False. I currently work at Amazon and was hired remotely, as per my employment contract, and I've been forced to relocate or resign.
I clipped a bicyclists back tire once. Flipped him over. He was mostly okay.
Probably 95% his fault because he was riding against traffic, on the sidewalk, and ran a red light.

I still felt really bad.

When people come up with reasons why that won't care because logically they'll be in the right if something bad happens. All I can think is either they are sociopath or that they deeply lack life experience.
Azure doesn't use FPGA for ML, they use Nvidia like everyone else. Azure used FPGAs a few years ago for network switches though.
They did just that with the new Game Porting Toolkit.
Passing a dict is passing by reference, and if the called method reads 5 elements from that dict, it's tiny constant time.

Sorting of a large collection happening implicitly is too expensive for what would generally be a benign mistake.
Untreated cancer is not without its effects on quality of life.

As I said above, with a positive test, work out the numbers for death and other unpleasant outcomes, with or without treatment, and let the patient decide. If those numbers would say not to treat regardless of test results, then don't test.

The study just says that most, not all, cancer screenings don't extend life. And it doesn't say whether doctors are giving patients the numbers I described. I suspect they aren't, which likely means that sometimes they treat even when these numbers would say they shouldn't.
The part about Vertex might be right but the establishing story about mapreduce is totally wrong. By the time Hadoop took off, mapreduce at Google already had one foot in the grave. If you are using Hadoop today you have adopted a technology stack that Google recognized as obsolete 15 years ago. It is difficult to see how Google lost that battle. They effectively disabled an entire industry by suggesting an obsolete stack, while simultaneously moving on to cheaper, better sequels.
What's the next question then? Curious to know if any of these screening caught cancers at various stages and if there is a correlation to better long term prognosis.
I felt like a wizard, running multiple windowed DOS VGA games, along with Word and a video (Weezer!) playing all at the same time on Windows 95

Something about the multitasking in Win95 (among other things) was so different in Windows 3.1, even on the same hardware. You could clearly see processes passing control to each other and updates were so slow.
"mammography screening did not prolong life" from the abstract.

I appreciate your thoughts. Most of the customers we've talked to have requested a self-hosted version of our platform on their own cloud infrastructure.

Except breast cancer screening, at least via mammography, doesn't save lives. See, for example: https://thennt.com/nnt/screening-mammography-for-reducing-de...
This is not an unexpected result. Last I checked breast self examination also does not reduce deaths from breast cancer, nor testicular self examination.

If anyone's interested the "Wilson criteria" is the basis of decisions about screening programmes and many run programmes fail it.
Seems like they are pretty good!

We have the same. The system has a high-end water filter which then exits into a split, one outlet of which goes to a room-temp tap and the other into the heater, so we have both filtered "cold" and hot water.
