Lyft also requires the ability to receive an SMS text at account creation (or more precisely if there is a way around that requirement, I couldn't find it) which is why I use Uber.
Taking this literally, it would be a massive publicity stunt. Have a stock Model 3 jump 20 school buses, and then see how the competition goes.
In fact, historically, few right wing parties in Europe in general have opposed welfare programs outright. A large portion of European welfare programs came from the centre right or right, partially on the basis of a Christian morality argument (e.g. Bismarcks original German healthcare and pension insurance reforms, backed by Zentrum, a party who went on to support Hitlers candidacy for Chancellor, and whose spiritual successor is the CDU), partially as a realisation it was either forging compromises or risk revolution (e.g. Bismarks reforms were at least in part outright "stolen" from demands from left wing parties he banned and imprisoned leading members of, as part of a two-prong strategy of appeasement and an iron fist.

That free market and right libertarian parties have gained some traction again is a relatively "new" (few decades) phenomenon, after many of them were squeezed hard by the rapid growth of socialist parties to their left a century ago.

EDIT: Worth adding that classically liberal parties in Europe have largely leaned socially liberally, e.g. "low overhead welfare" rather than no welfare. A lot of the universal basic income talk comes from classical liberals as a counter to social democratic "big government welfare" not by removing the welfare but by trying to minimise government involvement in the equation.
It’s implemented as a BIOS setting where it’s supported.

But the parent comment was suggesting that it be on or off depending on the memory segment, which is a completely different problem.
I cant believe this actually happens.

Here in Mexico you can schedule a private GP for the next 3 pr 4 days if you want to pay.

If it's a very minor thing, you can go to most pharmacies and a most likely recent medical graduate will be giving free consultations same day, with at most 15 min wait. (The last time I went the doctor was a Venezuelan medic with great credentials).

Or if you REALLY want to spoil, go to doctoralia.com and schedule a specialist for maybe $60 usd , with reviews and available schedule (usually within a week).
We found out that this is no longer the case since hardware can contain software which just prevents the "owner" from replacing a part. On top of this manufacturers abuse copyright laws to prevent "owners" from tinkering with said software.

That's why we need specific laws to protect the freedom which should be the default.
I mean… in hindsight, you could say that about almost everything, as soon as some way is found to exploit it.

I hope you don’t disagree with the idea of that once a vulnerability is disclosed, the manufacturers/developers should fix it, and that’s a good model for this fallen, insecure world of ours. Of course, the best model would be to have no security holes at all. But everyone knows how realistic that is…

My name is Ben, nice to meet all of you today.

I am employed full-time, and right now I am looking for some additional part-time projects.

I bring 8 years of full-stack software engineering knowledge and experience (in enterprise) with me, mostly in the tech stacks listed on my resume. But I am an avid code explorer, and love diving into new areas, learning new skills, and creating new things. (I'm the kind of person who spends his free time coding :/ (haha)).

I'd love to do some work for a biotech or AI startup.. I want to contribute to something meaningful and helpful, and I think those domains have something there.

If you think my skills or expertise might benefit your organization or project, please reach out.

All the best!!
The closet already had an outlet.
That page doesn't really answer why it can solve the issues of Knockout better. Eventually the same problems will arise, of spaghetti code among things reacting to other things reacting to yet more things.
Isn't this a redo of Flash and ActiveX, then?
That is the exact use case where solar roofs on EV’s become very useful. However you can “jump” EV’s, supply power to their 12v system and then charge off of another cars 120v plug, or a portable generator etc.
Implicit in this is a recognition, or at least a claim, that regular windows users don't have any need to inspect or manipulate anything other than a few file types. Plain text or Office formats, PDF, thats it.

That might well be true for 99% of people, but it isn't true for me. I'd like to have an editor built into windows that was way lighter than an IDE but could handle things like JSON, XML, and CSV without sweating.

Notepad++ serves that purpose today but would be nice to have it bolted into Windows. Or maybe msft agrees to a giant stipend to the Moolenaar estate (RIP) and licenses Vim with a user friendly keybinding?(!)
I’m not looking for work really. I skim the posts out of general interest and I find posts like this interesting. This one is not for me (not in the UK) but I would like to see others.

This is cool but would be infinitely more valuable if it could explain _why_ GPT4 is good or bad at each task, to help build intuition.
I'm not sure if that's the case for LibreOffice, but it's common for FOSS projects to have fatter binaries for Windows, since they're often using a bunch of wrappers to get POSIX-y things to work Windows.

In this case they're also shipping rpm/deb packages, it's likely that on Linux they use your system's GTK and in Windows they bundle it.
Typical 1950's thinking. Like mass transit, sidewalks are for poor people who can't afford a car. It's an early form of transhumanism. Car + Driver, Man + Machine.

You can do that with MoCA but not with wifi routers.

TBH this is a bit of an odd one Wifi Meshes are extremely good these days and provide excellent coverage as long as you spend money on actually decent equipment if you use your crappy ISP provided router then ofc repeaters won’t work.

I'm still waiting to see a list of "what Wayland improves over X".

The only things that i heard of is fractional scalling and suppport for bigger colour depths.
Wrap them in a generator.
You can measure in nominal dollars, inflation-adjusted dollars, percentage of GDP … or in the only way that matters in war: in comparison to your adversaries

Surprise! It’s neither getting smaller nor cheaper. Smarter? Well, war is pretty dumb … again, it ought to be compared to what we could be doing instead.
> and total taxation can be as high as 60-65% (with VAT and local laws [homes, car, fuel])

If you earn enough for this to be even a possible scenario, you either live somewhere where it's easy to move across a border to change it (Belgium and Germany are massive outliers; especially Belgium) while staying in Europe, and/or earn enough that you can easily plan your way out of paying that much. (3rd alternative: you confuse marginal and effective tax rates, which is scarily common)

It's a problem for the top ~1%-2%.
Similarly, I've always thought it's a no brainer for any ICE car to have a solar roof. At a minimum it can keep a 12v battery from dying over long parking durations or high parasitic drain, and at best it could like, keep a container refrigerated or something.
Sure, you could say the same about any language too though. I've used static site generators in Rust too, or Python, it's the same problem. People still use them because the benefits outweigh the minute risk of being compromised.
Yes, it's become an arms race. However it seems like it's one YouTube can't win, due to some limitation in their process flow. You'd think it would be trivial, just don't send the video if the user hadn't first watched the ad, but for some unknown reason YouTube is unable to do this.

Since YouTube ultimately can't win with their current strategy, it's difficult to understand why they're bothering. Everybody running uBlock Origin clearly wants to block their ads, it's trivial to update filter lists to block them again, and those people (like me) will never, ever, pay YouTube so long as we can get the content without doing so. All they're doing is annoying people to no particular benefit.

Instead they should work out some way to do what I said earlier. But they haven't. Because they can't? Sure seems that way.
If you need to jump start an EV you need to charge it basically. I cant think of a case where it would be needed with an otherwise filled battery.
Because they are apples and oranges and Tesla is using 48v! Jumping a 12v lead acid battery with 48v is a fantastic way to completely fry the ICE vehicle.
> I stopped playing after the challenge of creating a line-based canvas drawing of the word "Hello".

Similarly, stopped playing when the question was "Write a html page with javascript/canvas to draw the US flag that changes color when I click on it. Make the flag perfectly accurate." and it generated a flag that wasn't "perfectly accurate" (https://i.imgur.com/WhyRsYa.png, notice the position of the top/left stars) but then told me "Wrong! You guessed that GPT-4 could not solve the question, but it can! 71% of people got this question correct."

I'm not sure how the validation is done, seems to be manually hardcoded or something, but it seems it's not very reliable.
yes i am, i edit the xml directly in ed.

Will be off grid for a week so don't expect a quick response.
Wish I could use that same logic in my budget requests. Yeah, the department is still spending a lot of money, but each library we buy is more specialized now!
Next year. It's always next year. Price is dictated by how much one is willing to pay, which is somewhat tied to how much financial value one can extract from it.
Well stated. Cynicism can prevent you from being scammed, but it won’t help you succeed in any active endeavor. At its root, I think cynicism comes from being repeatedly disappointed by how things turn out and creating a defense mechanism. But it’s also possible to take it all in, register disappointment, but instead of becoming cynical, one can recognize the chaotic and impersonal nature of the universe and contemplate what levers are available to influence future outcomes more favorably. Easier said than done for sure, but no one ever said life was easy!
Hmm yeah makes sense
I feel like we could just boil this down to a math problem? Classic lat long uses, what? 10 decimal digits? Grouped into 2 sets of 5? Switching to base 26 can only really eliminate 1 digit from each set. That alone should make it pretty clear we aren’t going to make it much simpler. I suppose you could encode the whole thing as one set of 10 digits and maybe represent that as 7 alphanumeric characters, but now to share it over the phone you have to know a phonetic alphabet. Nah, let’s stick to numbers…
Have you not noticed that SSD prices have dropped by almost half the last 6-8 months?

I can get the same SSD I bought in February for literally half the cost today.

You can get larger drives. 4TB has pretty high availability. If you want more, you can go server grade U.2 and get 8-32TB SSD - you will pay more though.
In that case 0.3 would be more wrong than 0.4 and less wrong than 0.2. The closer your predictions are to reality over a bunch of questions, the better you understand reality.
I think it’s more a recognition of the fact that Microsoft expects Windows users to purchase a Microsoft 365 subscription, as part of their push to replace local-first applications with cloud services.

Also look at how they are changing desktop Outlook to a web-tech based UI, which is a prerequisite for eventually moving it to the cloud altogether.
It could also just reflect some other program getting more money
Good one, but in general, don't trust Macrotrends. Almost every number you can find on it is verifiably false. Sometimes the mistakes are ridiculous and laughable. Not sure who maintains this site, but it regularly produces nonsense.

World Bank database is a much better resource. So is CIA factbook although making historical comparisons using it is inconvenient.
Just hit it with fire truck out of the way
> I feel a lot of people have a hard time processing conflicting perspectives and instead project their own moral views as a uniform perspective onto everyone at once

Thanks for putting into words something I've been feeling for a long time! It's like people think that conflict is unnatural, when really it is one of the most fundamental aspects of nature.
That sounds a bit like "the reason for this traffic jam is clearly that there are no enough lanes".

Evidently, there are enough buyers/renters around who can afford the higher prices and are able to price out the $30k/year group. So what would prevent rent or prices from rising to the same unaffordable levels in the new development, if there is still demand from this higher-paying group?

I feel if the market rate becomes unaffordable for middle-class fulltime employees, then you have an inequality problem, not a supply problem.
To get the best answer you should mention what jurisdiction you and your company are in.
Too bad they can’t open-source it and see if there is any community interest in keeping it going.
tbf television is a very limiting medium. If you tried "show dont tell" for that much exposition you'd be several episodes in. Ahsoka just requires too much backstory for non-Star Wars addicts. Its a show designed for casual fans, so it has to catch us up fast.

Ahsoka is part of the larger canon of things like the clone war cartoons and a handful of random episodes in newer Disney shows. Most fans have no idea about her, the post-ROTJ world its set in, Thrawn, etc. Its a lot to ask to slow burn that.

Also you can slow burn that if you truly wanted, but it comes at a cost. The writers weren't willing to make that sacrifice of other story elements, characters, sub-plots, etc to do this.

I also would argue that 'origin story fatigue' is real. I get impatient with long origin reveals. Just get me into the story and flashback and explain whats going on. I'd rather sit through an exposition episode than a long origins narrative.

Lengthy one-time exposition is perfectly acceptable in tv and film and we do it all the time. I just watched the first episode of Interview with the Vampire and there's a lengthy scene about a previous interview decades before that sets the stage. This isn't the most exciting viewing but allows us to catch up super fast on the story. Its a one-time price to pay that not only sets up the core conflicts but also introduces us to the basics of the main character, the tenor of the show, and the vampire mythologies of this universe.

Novels and such have hundreds of pages to slow burn exposition. In normal script formats you have about 20-25 pages per episode for a 30 min show. Compare that to your average novel at 250-400 pages. Note those 20-25 pages are in screenwriting format, which are closer to 10 or less dense novel pages.
I'm ok with a mistake on the first try, what would really impress me if it could tell whether it made a mistake. In my experience GPT is tuned to be totally deferential, "you're right, i apologize, let me try again!", no spine to tell me "yeah the task looks good"

it has no sense of whether a task has been fulfilled

I've never seen any of the recursive models show convergence on a task, seems without a human hand they fall apart

An exception I've seen is with the Wolfram plugin, it seems to at least try different approaches until it arrives at an answer to present to you.
US MIL also needs to get more lethal. Smaller, cheaper (relative), and smarter are good measures moving in a good direction, but lethality a critical factor for winning wars.
Wait until you’re fifty and you can barely see the stupid thing.
I haven't noticed a significant difference in discussion quality between The Platform Formerly Known As Twitter and Youtube/Reddit for most topics. Maybe I'm cynical, but the vast majority of public communication on the internet seems to be roughly the same quality in my mind.
Apart from eBay, which is one of the good sources, you can map those sellers to their standalone online presences, where prices are much more stable.

Companies decommission servers all the time. Look for the companies that buy them. Data protection laws, however, had made storage devices trickier to get.
I would be cautious doing that. The analogous (I think) terminals hiding under the old Model S nosecone are not particularly thick, and you might fry something. Also, if they are fused (I don’t know whether they are) and you blow the fuse, then merely opening the doors of the car if anything else goes wrong with the 12V system becomes quite complicated.
Haha wow, I played a Ferengi as well! Who knows, we may have crossed paths.
This is not for PCs. It’s for servers running many many threads…
Yeah I bought a new build in a greenfield community and so it was a fun first project to pull the new street and address data from the county auditor and create the streets and addresses for my community in OSM. I did it the “hard” way with JOSM I guess not knowing about the MapwithAI stuff.
I second this, I loved Showstopper, it does a great job explaining how NT is designed and why it is designed that way, and covering the personalities involved with NT.
It's less power efficient than a cable, so trivially it's going to generate more waste heat (sure, there might be small amounts of power released as RF, but typically, innefficies in electronics result in heat).
no, its doesn't. but to me an invariant is something that might be useful in a static context (that is something a compiler might enforce, or use to generate more efficient code), and an assertion is a runtime construct.
This article is so wholesome, thank you. I was going to just scroll through it real quick, but I got so engrossed and read every word. I died laughing about the Kansas City bit!
I sometimes wonder if developers should do an end run around all this bullshit and come up with and start measuring management productivity metrics.

I dont see a downside to doing this.
Perhaps. Nonetheless it's ~10x Russia's[1] and ~3.5x China's. The majority of the the remaining Top 10 spenders are allies. It's not a matter of GDP, it's a matter of: exactly who and what necessitates such excess? And what is the associated opportunity cost?

[1] And yet it didn't prevent Russia's quest for Ukraine.
Unfortunately, that doesn’t tell the full story. Features and optimizations often come with costs such as security and complexity. Not to mention many cryptocurrency projects have an embedded self-enrichment scheme for the founders and centralized decision making, making them a theoretical target for governments. Sometimes a simple, well tested solution is better than a complex one with better performance and features. After all, money should be simple and carry low technical risk.

That said, I personally think features found in some other projects are worth the costs. But I can definitely see why someone would still choose btc. Especially for a government initiative or treasury.
I am 100% certain that there is at least a single AI expert in China.

This is bait, right?
In reality, the "conscious" part of the processing that happens in the brain is just a [small] part. There is so much more that is going on.

The way I think about it is that the brain is a massively, self organizing processing unit where consciousness/attention runs on just one thread (try consciously thinking about two things at once :) ). Most of the processing, including vital operations that are needed to keep up alive (eg breathing, heart operation, the myriad of hormonal regulation feedback loops, memory organization and consolidation) are happening under the hood and we don't have access to that part.
> Or maybe msft agrees to a giant stipend to the Moolenaar estate (RIP) and licenses Vim with a user friendly keybinding?(!)

An awful lot, maybe most Windows users who need to inspect non txt filetypes still wouldn't be comfortable with Vim, even with a user friendly keybinding.
Why WhatsApp for calls and texts? Why not use a simple dumb phone?

In fact, the OP mentions that he has a Razr flip phone, but uses it without a SIM card?!

And whoever thinks that using an app for controlling the washing machine is smart...isn't very smart.
Way back when Sorenson came out, there was a software transcoding package that I just cannot remember the name. It was commercial and available for Mac and PC. It wasn't Squeeze. They sold a Mac version and a PC version separately. We had both platforms at the time, but only the budget for one. We settled on the Mac version. Funny thing, the CD installer was a dual format. On the Mac, it would show the Mac software, but when placed in the PC, it would show the PC software. So one purchase, both versions. It wasn't sold/advertised this way. They meant for you to buy a copy per OS. Can't help they were dumb about it to save a few pennies.
it's called a labor union
I actually look forward to (promised) future where "disk" storage is fast enough not to need RAM anymore.
Scale matters though: there are about 15 billion mobile phones in use, which means an theoretical excess power usage of 90 terrawatt-hours; about a week's worth of output for a nuclear power station.
Try this: do a small clap. Then do a big clap. Now slap the table, chair, or wall you are near. All of them are obviously not sonic booms. QED.

You can make sonic booms with bull whips. They are quite a different sound than just slapping and clapping. Check them out on YouTube.

Asking „why” may be a little bit too much with regards to a non-deterministic token prediction machine trained on an unknown set of strings. Just saying.
That's not normally what people mean by "jump": jumping an ICE car is using the battery of one car to power the starter motor of another to get it running (after which it doesn't need a battery to keep running).
It's ok, he's not particularly clinging to power.
