Electric unicycle aka EUC (by InMotion/Solowheel). It's an amazing ride and had no falls in more than 5 years but am constantly careful for traffic. I highly recommend it and the few hours of training needed are totally worth it to enjoy this device. Tip for beginners: take it to a supermakert parking lot and use a cart to hold onto for balance then push it forward and in circles for a few hours. Once learnt it's easier than walking, no kidding!!
Thankfully they had thought through the accidental locking, it needs to be stationary and in a certain position to lock. It's just getting it unlocked that is a little more of a hassle now :).

Sorry for the confusion I meant I can do all the service on the bike except the electronics. Things like brake pads and tires that wear down easily. On the Vanmoof it's a little more challenging to remove wheels for security - which I used to appreciate because I've had even little things like a mount for a light taken off my bike... but now I prefer it to be easier to service and just carry around more locks.
I’m afraid I don’t respect that at all.

The “state” does not know best.

The reason that dictators withhold the vote is the same reason they refuse to allow a free press. They are scared of criticism.

If they really knew what was best for everyone it would be obvious and people would vote for them.

…but it ain’t obvious, so the hang on to power by repressing anyone that points that up is up and down is down.

It bothers me on a regular basis that there is no RFC 3339 acceptable way to include date and time in a file name in Windows as a colon is a special character. I also wish you could use hyphens in the date while ignoring the colons and still be ISO 8601 compliant, for example 20230831T1510-0500 is compliant and can be used in a filename, while 2023-08-31T1510-0500 (and similar variants) is not. As an aside the "Get-Date" function in PowerShell doesn't understand the first timestamp without the hyphens and colon.
Even when first announced, it became a meme among friends Juicero (and Ubeam) were peak Silicon Valley.
As someone who has operated aircraft, watercraft, motorcycles, and various other automobiles - end of the day if I'm the operator it's on ME to make sure it's in proper working order, that I'm familiar with how it works and how to react in an emergency, and to ensure that I'm attentive and operating it in a safe fashion. If I'm using assists it doesn't negate that responsibility.

If you aren't willing to take on that responsibility perhaps you shouldn't be operating the vehicle.
> A really curious thing about muds is more people seem to want to make new ones than play them.

I think it makes a lot of sense that the remaining MUD players are those that have the most complete affinity for the system. While MUDs draw a technical distinction between making and playing, I think psychologically the lines are very blurry, because part of playing is making.

One reason Minecraft really took off is that embedded in the choice to "live" in an expansive virtual world is a desire to affect that world. It mirrors the malleability of our world but on a larger scale. Climbing up an RPG power curve is only a pseudo-satisfier of that desire; you're not actually changing the world, just changing your position in it. Actually being able to modify the world you occupy is the base desire. In that respect, Minecraft is really the spiritual successor to MUDs.
Pretty sure Seinfeld gave a KL5 number once too.
I don’t know, what is your approach? What others did you evaluate? That’s what I want to know. It’s not a gotcha question. Some people seem to think it is because of their experience with a bad manager. I genuinely want to know what approaches you took, why those didn’t work, why yours is the right one, so I can defend you to the VP.
Me neither. I would reply with:

"Thanks that you liked it, I'm always happy with positive feedback so will share it widely within the team and towards my manager. When I get home I'll also tell my wife and put it in the family's group chat. Grandma's FB post should be up soon".

Don't lie to my face. I'm not a moron nor a child. You didn't like how I tackled it at all. You can just say that and point to tangible things where I went wrong. Any working professional should be able to handle that. And not just that, embrace it, it's a learning experience.
I also experienced performance problems with Arch Linux ARM through UTM. Parallels seems to perform much better for me.

One issue might be that only OpenGL 2.1 is supported:

Separate comment for a separate thread maybe: there are also a few interesting things that "fell out" of MOO research.

One thing was AstroVR, which was an environment for collaborative control over telescopes. That had an advanced client called Jupiter, which PARC researchers IIRC used to develop a protocol (also called Jupiter?) that supported distributed interfaces and provided correct ordering of event messages.

Haha, I'm happy to agree to disagree here. In my book doing hex editing on a binary file and overriding what my system thinks the monitor is reporting to ultimately solve the problem feels enough like a hack (http://catb.org/jargon/html/meaning-of-hack.html).

As someone else noted, I'm considering overwriting the EEPROM in the monitor but I'd like to be 100% certain that's correct before I try it (one of the reasons I posted to HN was to see if folks thought I was going down the wrong path). I'm actually going to try a completely new cable first in case it's a bandwidth issue.
I guess any style could be interpreted many ways. If something was hard to understand, it sounds sincere but if you actually do understand then it could sound condescending. I guess with all this, context matters.

That’s too long to wait for a brew.
Modchips are available for every switch console now, and the early ones can be softmodded pretty easily.

It's a bit hit or miss on other consoles, but it's often pretty straightforward to dump your own games. IMO, it's kind of dumb to make people "do a little dance and magical incantation" to make what they're doing "more legal" especially when there's little case law about it.

Also, everything on the switch is ID-tagged. If nintendo wants to, they can ban carts, consoles, controllers, accounts, and more for arbitrary reasons.
Ah thanks I read that wrong.
> South Korea could have very well been used as the US's beachhead

South Korea was and is used as "the US's beachhead". There is still a significant US military presence in the country even now.
> Joe Biden has no control over his adult son.

Sure but Hunter has stated on tape that Joe was in the room with him. That could be a lie but it’s definitely worth investigating.

> Virtually all Biden supporters agree that if Hunter did illegal acts he should face trial and resulting consequences, and the same for his father.

I don’t think most Biden supporters even realise the tape exists, so the idea of criminal investigation would be so far fetched. In their minds China / Burisma didn’t happen and they probably don’t know about government agencies suppressing the laptop story to influence the election. Not because they’re bad but because the US treats politics like a team sport and TV news only reports on what benefits their ‘team’.

And sure, investigate Trump over paying Stormy using campaign money.

> The suppression of the laptop story was trying to tamp down a political ops maneuver (an October surprise).

Government agencies (who falsely briefed Twitter and Meta about the laptop being Russian disinformation) should not be working for any candidate.

> so well when they did the same thing to HRC in the prior election.

I haven’t heard about gov agencies doing anything in aid of Trump or against HRC.
> I really liked how you tackled this, have you thought about this approach?

I would slightly rephrase it like this: I liked your approach, because (reasons), though I believe there’s a better one, because (reasons).

If you put it this way you show that you actually understood the approach and not just saying “do it my way”. It gives the opportunity to learn something and it invites to a discussion - “hey, I thought about your approach but I decided to use mine because…”
You are right. This was settled with the Nuremberg principles and code
in the wake of the last world war. Group apologetics are cowardly and
unacceptable. People of excellent character, some of them genuine
leaders, step up and accept responsibility for the moral failures of
organisations they head. Those "merely following orders" deserve no
protection.

We must stop blaming "the system", or "inevitable progress", or
"capitalism", or whatever abstraction. It is terribly weak and
avoidant to do so. It seems perfectly fair to put names to actions
having broad effect. I think the (as you say) _few_ people who make
far reaching decisions in technology deserve treating as de-facto
public figures, as worthy of public scrutiny as political
representatives.

Want to "invent" some disruptive new technology that changes the
world? At least have the decency to put your name to it, stand by it
and defend it ethically. Otherwise what you're doing looks more like
terrorism than science.

Actual individual _people_ make awful decisions, knowing that they are
awful, and hoping to get away with it through "safety in numbers". We
should welcome whatever puts moral pressure on such individuals to act
properly, and not to hide behind their "gang". Corporations have
become a rock beneath which rather little sunlight shines nowdays.
>Cross-cultural analyses showed that competent individuals held contingent attitudes and endorsed cynicism only if it was warranted in a given sociocultural environment. Less competent individuals embraced cynicism unconditionally, suggesting that—at low levels of competence—holding a cynical worldview might represent an adaptive default strategy to avoid the potential costs of falling prey to others’ cunning.

One might argue that incompetent people are cynical because, without the insulation and support structures that foster education, they are more attuned with the one true cynical reality of the world.

Another might argue that incompetent people are cynical because, without sufficient intellectual capacity, they are susceptible to false ideas concerning the one true non-cynical reality of the world.

The hopelessness and hopefulness of reality can be endlessly debated, but ultimately, it's up to the individual to choose which of these to put their faith in. I agree that that an overall cynical view could be an adaptation to defend against the threat of being taken advantage of. One should weigh this against whether or not such a worldview truly works in your favor. Amazing advances have been made in this world over the past few centuries, and I can't accept the notion that these come about through cynicism rather than hope for the future.

Holding a position that rejects human progress requires one to believe that good is ultimately insignificant. Judging by the increasing suicide rates of young people, this seems to be a modern problem, and so perhaps the solution can be found if we look towards the traditions that have unified humanity in the past.
I know it's generally accepted that "the guy on the street" doesn't care about privacy, but honestly this seems a step too far even for such accepting souls. I guess Musk superfans may go for it, but everybody else? Just to use twitter? C'mon.

Absolutely, completely agree. The fishing industry has demonstrated extensively that they can't be trusted to self-manage (North Atlantic Cod, and Pacific Salmon are great examples). The appeal of over-fishing for short term gains at the cost of long-term is just too good for them to refuse, and they will take what they can. Normalcy bias[1] (which they come by honestly as humans) will do it's thing and convince them that a little bit won't hurt, or it will never disappear, or whatever it needs to. Whatever the solution is, it will definitely include reductions in fishing allowances, and that's going to hurt for producers and consumers alike, but it still has to be done. If we don't, in 5 to 10 years they'll be changing jobs anyway cause the fish will be gone and the ecosystem devastated.

The trick isn't to avoid all suffering, that's just not possible. The trick is (IMHO) to first understand it, then minimize it. Homer Alaska guy will have to accept reduced income for at least a few years until the population rebounds. In the end, at least his business, home, and way of life aren't completely destroyed.

I don't know how we establish/create an independent and reasonable regulator to manage limits, but that's what we need to figure out. The existing entities are too corrupt and have proven that they can't be trusted. On the flip side, some environmental groups are too extreme and also not trustworthy regulators. It's a very hard and complex problem.

The supported languages are enumerated in the app store descriptions, but I'll make it more explicit on the landing page too. Thanks for your feedback!
Of course it's possible to implement these features on top of any system which stores the transactions... but I'm sure you agree that to a user it matters that these things are accessible without writing lots of willy-nilly scripts, and preferable not having to add such meta-tags manually when other sources have already categorized them.

Thus I suspect there's space for more specialized solutions like Ghostfolio. Although I myself would prefer if my accounting system could also do these things. (I'd be interested in these willy-nilly scripts. I also enjoy writing willy-nilly scripts, but time is limited)

30 years ago (and I'd say even 20 years ago) every ISP had their own usenet feed just like they had their own email server. It's only fairly recently this has become a bit of a barrier (although as many have noted in this discussion, free ones exist so not much of a barrier). My ISP discontinued their usenet server in 2016, fairly recently.

Installing a client is one package-install command away, not exactly a barrier.

Automation produces something plausible, high end movies need something exact.

Plausible is fine for animatics and previs, not for hundreds of millions of dollars.

The amount of work required is so vast you could automate away 90% of it and it is still out of reach for one person to make a "hollywood blockbuster in their bedroom" just as it is for one person to launch themselves to the moon and make it back.

If you don't believe me, try to make a single shot of CG pool balls on a live action pool table. Nothing but spheres, it should be easy right? Automate some of it with 'AI' if you can.
I guess the game is to simply not let the holes be big enough to lose the barge through, and the motive power to be able to pull away from the current of the water going over (either on the barge, or maybe there was a shore winch).

It's also kind of amazing that the dam was essentially destroyed with a single guy and a single (large) jack hammer.
How are you handling the AWS OpsWorks end of life?
For me personally, half the benefit of handling your finances correctly is that with the knowledge of one thing often comes learning about something else that might tweak your financial strategy or at the very least increase your options in life. For something like a backdoor roth strategy or when it might make sense to utilize isn't something I personally would want handled for me. I would want to understand the decisions I make and potentially learn something important along the way.

Financial literacy doesn't seem optional for the wealthy from my perspective. There's too much to gain by having it and too much to lose by neglecting it.

How we got Stable Diffusion XL inference to under 2 seconds
I don’t think it’s necessarily about a “universal” solution, just “better”. Make the column names more verbose, changing numeric enums to text ones, disambiguating column names, etc. One of the spider datasets is a stadium table and one of the column names is “average”, which means average capacity, but it’s super ambiguous. If you asked an LLM to “make these table columns more verbose” I bet it would call that “average_capacity” and all of the sudden some NLQ queries that confused the function and the column name would start to work.
Valve has not released the source engine code beyond their partners.
Yeah I read this and was repeatedly surprised and thankful they finally put some of these things in writing. That section about whether or not detectors work is going to be hugely helpful to students wrongly accused of using AI to generate their essays or something. Take that page and show it to your teacher "Look! The publisher of the thing says those detectors aren't accurate!"

Came here to comment the same thing. I'm also personally not a fan of not being able to own your devices (or just not being able to keep them alive once the manufacturer turns off some server...), though there are two issues:
One is people who buy IoT <thing> and then complain when it gets compromised because it was connected to the internet and someone somewhere found a way to turn their device into part of their botnet.
The other is pressure from shareholders/management etc to ensure the code stays secret because imagine if a competitor had access to your IoT juicer's firmware and used it in their own product, oh no!

> It absolutely, unequivocally is.

This is a category error. You're talking about the education system as though it was designed from accurate first principles towards a specific intended outcome. Like, you can say that the absolute unequivocal purpose of a nuclear reactor is to heat water. But when we're looking at sociopolitical organizations, that have been codified through various political forces over tens of generations, through the demands of ever-shifting stakeholders, etc this is not a useful framing.

> but the system is designed to breed good workers and sort them into bins. And its not a bad thing either. Sure there are non-economic self contained benefits, but those are perks, not purposes.

I think a more accurate framing is that the system is currently evolved into strongly emphasizing this mode of behavior.
