For me, like the author of the article, it's not the targeted ads that are concerning, but the amount of data one company can have and aggregate in once place. Even if that data isn't being used in a nefarious way now doesn't mean that it never will be. Also, I AM concerned about banks and telephone companies selling my data, but that wasn't the topic of this article.
My understanding is that the consensus across both environmentalists and economists is that a carbon tax is the only real option. The challenge is in the implementation. Personally I don't see it happening until our AI machine overlords impose it upon an irrational species.

Yeah, users suffer because the kernel devs are having a dick swinging contest with nVidia. Pretty pathetic all round.
OTOH, they take a lot of tanker trucks off the road. Given the way the fourth power rule works here, that might actually make them a net benefit.

Those fuel trucks also have to operate on regular streets more than most semi trucks do, which likely compounds the benefit.
This was exactly my experience, but many more months than 3.
I directly benefit from my credit card company keeping tabs on spending for fraud prevention. Could say a similar thing for phone companies logging calls, in the case of e.g. someone spoofing your number and doing something illegal - authorities can request that info and find the call never came from you.

I can't imagine a scenario where random websites tracking my internet browsing benefits me in any way, other than maybe advertising a product I'd actually like?
There is some confusion between copyright and patents here. Copyright forbids transmission of knowledge; patents forbid manufacturing. The incentives to manufacture CPUs would still be there if copyright were to be abolished, because patents would still work.

What AI demolishes is the pretense that human art is rare and precious, a scarce resource to channel through forced rivers in order to make money.

What machine-learning will probably result in, is a U-turn from the "knowledge economy", based on gatekeeping information, back into manufacturing-oriented systems, based on actually making stuff.

Wow, impressive sleuthing!

My dad and I loved text adventures and Sierra-style games, so we actually bought this game legit and so never experienced the bugs in the cracked release.
Mullvad is my heavy lifter (well worth the monthly fee, even on months when I never actually boot it up), but I've used Windscribe in the past and thought it was pretty decent.

Back then they had a free tier where you could use a certain amount of data free of charge, and "create your own plan" tiers where you could mix and match various features at various prices. They might still have them now.

Maybe but given that this is implemented in the driver tells me that there might be some kind of issue with it being implemented on the GPU. I doubt they chose this less than optimal way of implementing such a limitation because they were simply being silly.
The worst, is the couple times I've experienced ketoacidosis... always feels like a cold/flu at first, and only when I'm coughing up water do I stop to take notice. I keep a keto mojo in addition to my cgm and glocometer... if my glucose is elevated at all, and my ketones are as well, time to start hourly injections until in normal range... I have my cgm alarm at 70 & 240, only because it will fire off many times after eating if I don't and takes a while to settle (few hours).

Definitely sucks having a broken metabolism. Wish I could go back to my 15-20yo self and totally stop consuming most processed food, seed oils and sugars. It's sad that a glucose tolerance and resting insulin tests aren't normalized since a1c won't start slipping until years later.
Agreed, the article was pretty unreadable. His criticisms are relatively fair, but the article structure was horrible.

kernel taint is obviously a DRM scheme, that's not a secret. GPL isn't a permissive license, it's a strong copyleft license that has teeth. there's nothing hypocritical about the taint mechanism - it's open-source, and as long as your code is GPL you can do anything you like. it literally just enforces the linking provision of the GPL license.

Mere speculation on my part, since I have no familiarity with the HDMI or DisplayPort protocols:

1. Windows/macOS might have a "quirks table" that hardcodes fixes for spec-violating devices.

2. Windows/macOS might ignore some reported EDID values and derive their own when they determine that the display behaves differently from what is reported (e.g. by recording response packet timings).
If you store large jsonb values in the database, storing them out of line may be a good thing - for example, you can query metadata much faster.

Also, worth mentioning that jsonb is only benefitial when you plan on indexing/manipulating the data in the database. Otherwise, using json type may be a better choice (smaller size, stored as text, parsed on demand)

> The GFW blocks WireGuard, right?

The GFW is extremely sophisticated in what it blocks and how it blocks it. I have seen it block otherwise random traffic based on packet sizes, packet patterns, stream concurrency, stream duration. It will allow connections, then probe the remote endpoint and disconnect if the probe detects banned services. It will track relationships between endpoints (e.g. blocking one resulting in traffic to another). Traffic that looks off /looks off/ and the GFW will block it -- and looking off may not be the kind of encryption or protocol, but simply how many people are using it from where and for how long.

The toughest part about working around the GFW is its consistency. Its effectiveness can vary by hour, day, political wind, etc. It can vary by what network you are on or the route your traffic takes to leave the country. The GFW isn't perfect, but it is just good enough that you give up trying.

And then every once in a while you get a news report about some VPN user getting arrested, so you get that level of paranoia, too.
You failed to answer my question. Again is there a benefit to tricking your body that you are eating a meal which provides a high amount of energy?

Sugar isn't bad, it is a biological solution to the energy storage problem just like fat, and our bodies know how to deal with the sugar present in nature (in fruits). The sugar in an apple is absorbed slowly, without a dramatic increase in blood glucose unlike the one in a Coke can.

> So... go debug the JupyterLab code. Or open a bug with upstream.

Users want this particular version of JupyterLab. Not the one in the future which might get fixed. In the case of JupyterLab, I can maybe try to patch it and promise users that "it's the same but with the patch", and maybe they'll take it, but maybe not, because their IT vetoed only version X, and my X+patch is not exactly X.

But, it could as well be closed-source third-party software (for example, we help users to install PBSPro, EG and LSF workload managers). It's illegal to debug them or to patch them...

> Hardware is a totally different ballgame. And not one where you're trying to come up with SLOs for flakiness in a CI system. You don't continuously deploy hardware.

So much nonsense here...

* CI isn't about deployment.

* Yes, when I worked for a hardware company, we continuously tested integration between hardware components.

* Why wouldn't the concept of SLOs apply here? You say it without giving any explanation.
That's kinda how it works at my current job, where a support rota is manned by members of the various development teams (front end dev, backend dev, app dev, platform ops, etc). You can indeed get woken up at 2am on a Saturday, and expected to fix whatever mission critical issue has popped up at that point.

It doesn't seem to have changed much as far as the architecture process goes though. With a few exceptions, the things that pop up for support to handle are usually either 'something broke on the content side, and the editors can't fix it', or a third party broke (glares at Google and Tag Manager, Musk and Twitter/X, etc)
I'm not generally inclined to assume laws are passed on sound philosophical backing (I've seen too many laws passed that aren't only poorly-grounded, but actually grounded in counterfactual to believe one follows from the other).

But from a mechanical standpoint that is an interesting fact and I'll be intrigued to see how HE defends itself here, should the regulators choose to step in.

(They may not. The text of the law says HE may not drop lawful traffic. To a cursory read, it's unclear if that means they can't drop lawful traffic bundled with unlawful traffic, i.e. if criminals start slipping criminal activity into lawful activity, is the whole channel drop-worthy?)
I was pretty confused by the index performance when getting ~50% of the table.

I think what's happening is that since the tuples in the medium table are larger, less are stored on each page. Just looking at the sizes of the tables:

medium: 977 MB

Large: 25 MB

we can assume that the medium query had to access 39.08 ( 977 / 25 ) * more pages.

medium time: 3198.539

large time: 85.74

3198.539 / 85.74 = 37 which seems to track.

What was confusing me is that I thought that the io would take longer for the large text objects because there's more of it. I think that the reason why this isn't the case is because TOAST is probably optimised to make fewer calls to io, but they tend to be much larger. it's not necessarily the size of the data, but rather how many syscalls you have to make to request the data.

pretty unsure about this, but it seems to make sense now.
The hoop from TL;DR; is that what happens with the simulation hardware has no bearing on the universe defined by the laws of the simulation. Reversibility is just an example. By changing simulation you just choose a different universe to look at.
2GB of RAM would basically make it the largest VPS I rent. It's a pretty beefy server, IMHO.

This gets worse if you only have a few calls per month. The cost and management overhead doesn't scale at all.

They do have more emissions, they are however no longer classed as cars but "light trucks" which have different emission standards (much higher than cars).
Hi. The short answer is no.

The way our system works, the legal address of the end-user determines which bank the bank account is within -- this is largely due to regulatory requirements within the various banking systems.

There is one mechanism by which this could potentially be done from my understanding, but it will take us a few years to fully explore and integrate into that kind of model.

Another model we explored (but again, do not implement) is that instead of holding end-user funds in FDIC-insured bank accounts (in the US -- bank accounts in other countries are not FDIC insured) is treating the funds as a security backed against deposits, which is significantly different, but could make non-US users able to open US-based accounts, but they would not at that point be bank accounts.
Here in Canada, where the cost of medical treatment is absorbed by the government, it is not.

And by that logic you're using we don't need fines for speeding, just let the insurance company know.

Hi HN, we are super excited to announce this new initiative!!

Please note, this program was designed to support individuals, teams, and hackers who are not pursuing commercial companies. Nevertheless, these projects push the state of the art in open source AI and help provide us with a more robust and comprehensive understanding of the technology as it is developed.

We are really proud to be contributing in this small fashion and grateful to the first cohort and all others contributing in this space!

I don't understand where Amazon is in this game. They are the biggest cloud provider. Azure is offering first class pretrained ml model hosting (content moderation, OCR, OpenAI, etc.).

Google has vector search SCANN library and hosted vector db offerings.

I think you misunderstand my point. I will admit that it was vitriolic, somewhat intentionally so, and conflated my general annoyance at posts that seem to virtue signal about the language they're using for their product, and this happening specifically in the Clojure community, but my point is not that it's inappropriate and I don't think I come across as ignorant here and so I disagree with that characterization. I also don't think it's fair to say I should just, paraphrasing, "sit down and shut up" if I have some criticism, because, taken further, it's a way to just dismiss criticism as negative even if it is constructive.

To be clearer, my point is two fold:

1. Why should I care about the language that a specific service is written in, be it Clojure, Rust, TypeScript, etc.? As a language user it's cool, but as a buyer (which, of course is not the target audience of this blog post) I don't think it matters the language as long as the product works well. For a bank, I couldn't care less if it's written in COBOL, Java, JavaScript, Piet, as long as my money is safe and transactions are handled correctly.
2. It feels like there are a lot of Clojure posts that go into the territory of putting Clojure on a pedestal, making it out to be the best language, etc. when in reality it is a tool, which excels at a lot of good tasks, but not every task, and while I may be biased it sometimes feels like the community needs to justify the existence of the language, that there's some kind of imposter syndrome. Maybe I would be less annoyed about this if I saw many/any posts about the pitfalls and difficulties of using Clojure.

> I'm very familiar with one of the most popular, closed-loop system combinations in the USA and I definitely don't feel the hypoglycemia problem is anywhere near "solved".

I should have been clearer, the moderate to severe hypoglycemia (level 2 and 3) problem is essentially solved with the newest generation of closed loop systems. Hypoglycemia in general is trending towards being solved particularly with the newest Medtronic devices, both from studies and what endocrinologists are seeing.

In some of the recent studies (which again are still small as these devices are new) I've come across there are no severe hypo episodes reported and % time in moderate hypoglycemia was (picking one study) ~0.3%[2].

The belief is that further iterations of these algorithms will continue to improve this hence why I said "solved" as in there is no strong need for a large treatment paradigm shift on the basis of moderate-severe hypoglycemia.

> There is too much volatility dictating a person's insulin sensitivity that even today's smartest systems will regularly give too much insulin, requiring treatment, or too little, resulting in prolonged hyperglycemia.

Hyperglycemia is a different discussion altogether that is not addressed by insulin delivery suspension or glucagon. The MiniMed 780G is probably the most advanced system out there with minimal patient input and time in target range is being reported as ~80% which is certainly getting there.

In many companies headcount = power. You getting a ton of work done with a small team matters less than Bruce with his 50 reports and $6m budget for them.

Middle managers will always increase headcount so that they eventually can become directors. Oldest game in business.

Scrum means different things to people.

To one manager scrum was a 30 minute sit-down chat in the conference room.
To another manager was 2 minutes stand in the hallway.
To another manager was a waste of time and he will come to each dev cube and get a gist of what we were doing.

A software development is only a team only in name. If developers like to help each other and talk to each other without having to be rounded up like gerbils is more of a fellowship.

Denying anthropogenic climate change and overshoot is akin to believing that the Earth is flat, that it's only 6,000 years old, that dinosaurs are a hoax, or that the theory of evolution is false. There are a lot of ignorants out there, and some even succeed in politics.

https://news.cornell.edu/stories/2021/10/more-999-studies-ag...

More than 99.9% of peer-reviewed scientific papers agree that climate change is mainly caused by humans, according to a new survey of 88,125 climate-related studies.

From the article:

“Looking at the list of signatories, there are a lot of engineers, medical doctors, and petroleum geologists and almost no actual climate scientists,” said Zeke Hausfather, a longtime research scientist at Berkeley Earth, a non-partisan nonprofit that specializes in analyzing climate data, and the former director of climate and energy programs at the Breakthrough Institute, another independent environmental research firm.

It really is a shame. I've wanted to build a gaming pc for years now, but the dev experience is compromised on windows, and the gaming experience is compromised on linux. People on windows will tell me to 'just use WSL', and people on linux will tell me to 'just use proton'. Both are decent, neither are great. I currently have a linux laptop, and a ps5 and both excel at their respective roles
