According to the GSA themselves, the value of the helium there is ~$100,000,000 [0] though that is 2019 prices, I believe it has gone up since then.

Apparently for diving purposes it's as high as $2.0 per cubic foot. [1]

I was recently looking for a shelving unit for vinyl records. The Ikea solution was 100$. Next step up were 1000$ home-made units on Etsy. In the end, I went with Ikea. Something in the middle would have been nice.
Anarchist that supports a dictatorship :)

But it's ok, because it's a dictatorship far away. Other people will be opressed.
The curvature does look sort of uncanny but then again, we don't often see photos from this vantage point. While some of these are wide angle photos which can have lens distortion, photo processing tools also have lens correction options to remove such distorions. Looking at the photos with the aircraft's wings visible, it doesn't appear as though there's much lens distortion remaining.

One of the coolest aspects of the photos to me is the way you can see terrain in a fairly typical aircraft view underneath and still see the curvature of the horizon toward the edges.

Since it's on a photography-centric site, I was a little disappointed there was no discussion of the camera gear or lens selection. I was also hoping to see camera EXIF metadata alongside the images which would typically reflect lens type, focal length, shutter speed, aperture, etc.
I'm not quibbling, and disagree with the notion that I'm doing dishonest discourse. I merely disagree with you that the package as you have linked it is deceptive, and that it is in my opinion not in need of further regulation. What does an appropriate packaging for a plant based sausage look like to you?
Not all CVE are real vulnerabilities.
What Apple loses from existing customers downgrading could be made up for by new customers who appreciate the lower price (students, early career professionals, countries with weak currencies). Many of these new customers may stick with the Apple ecosystem. The low cost MacBook could be a 'gateway' product.
Is that for full body scans?

Prices here do vary a lot, and you certainly can end up paying 10x that price for a full body scan from an expensive provider with a bunch of extras (though judging by a couple, some of those extras are cheap/"free" (on the NHS) blood tests tacked on for no good reason other than to jack up the price).

[You can get full scans for significantly less too, at least down to $1300 - I haven't looked very thoroughly -, but most people opting for full body scans are not doing so to address a specific known issue, so the prices reflect that it's a luxury service that's rarely needed, and the price lists are full of pointless upsells]

If the 10x is for specific body parts, it might pay to take a short trip to do your MRI's rather than pay out of pocket where you are then.
Video autoplays; but my Firefox is configured to not autoplay. I consider that at best malicious; I stopped reading and closed the tab (it was distracting me).
Interesting. I thought Inferno needed > 1MB ram.
I am probably your opposite ... I recently learnt basic React in a weekend and built a functional MVP webapp by hand.

For a second iteration of the app, I asked ChatGPT (Plus) to help me. Gave it existing code and gave increasingly specific UI and behavior requirements. After a few hours of pair programming ... I had a working new page (with backend API integration). The UI behavior I wanted went fairly deep -- with a lot of conditional logic to render styles, handle double clicks on text to make them editable form fields, etc.

I am impressed with this approach at least for prototyping and MVPs.

The resulting page was surely not very maintainable due to the complexity of embedded logic and conditionals ... but again I wouldnt have managed to manually code such complexity myself. Maybe if forced to do it manually i would have learnt more, modularized my code more, but spend a week instead of a day achieving the result. I am not a career developer -- so for my use case I will take this productivity boost.

I think there is a great opportunity to merge a visual UI builder like this (puck) and an LLM backend/interface to radically improve productivity and make prototyping as well as building real apps (production grade, modularized, maintainable) much more easier to build.
I doubt that there will be such things. Vault for example. Its unlikely that it gets a big backer or will be a cncf project.
I am slightly concerned people would still find more insidious ways to discriminate, under the guise of other reason(s). And conversely, people looking for protection would on occasion, weaponise this law.

(I have some first hand experience being burnt by the caste factor, when it was genuinely not intended or thought from my side. But perf review comments were reported as caste discrimination. No idea why would I remotely be interested to do that)

In the 2010s, the FCC began enforcement proceedings against more than one hotel chain for using Wi-Fi deauthentication attacks against guests using their own Wi-Fi hotspots instead of the official hotel Wi-Fi networks. The claims were settled, so there's no court ruling on the matter, but our office is inclined to believe that the FCC has legal authority over such attacks. But we definitely encourage you to share your views on the record.

yes, they used this for kickboard in my kitchen and even occasional spills and drips will cause swelling. Then you can't do anything about it but tear it out or try to repair with wood putty or something like that.

Yes, with a bit more depth to the reading, you'd know that the robber had already collected the money and was leaving when he was shot in the back.

And what happens when another do-gooder walks into this taqueria, sees this guy shoot someone, and then grab money off the body? Wouldn't that person be in the clear to shoot the first guy?

What if the 2nd guy is a police officer?

For the real bottom-of-the-barrel, there are brands that are literally just cardboard held together by double-sided tape now. My wife accidentally ordered one of their vinyl record stands.

Eh... Because keyword and BM25 do not work that well, especially for enterprise search? Many of us surely complained how bad enterprise search was, right? A company usually has a hodgepodge of documents. They don't link to each other that much so page rank does not work well. They have fewer than 1 click per day, if there is any at all. So signals based on user interactions will not be useful or will be expensive to build. We often search with keywords that show up in enough number of documents but not enough to make BM25 rank the matches high. Query understanding hardly exists in enterprise search, because building query autocompletion, query correction, query reformulation and etc all requires some level of semantic understanding. If it's not embedding based, it has to be stats-based, which requires enough volume of clicks and user evaluation that enterprise search can't afford. The list can go on and on. There is a reason that Google's search appliance never took off, and people are still complaining about quality of enterprise search.

Amazingly, a true semantic search would work well. And to do semantic search in scale, you'll need a vector database.

From the beginning, the only thing my friends and I have used ChatGPT for is getting it to say things it's not supposed to, like offensive jokes or answers to ridiculous moral dilemmas. It's gotten much worse at that lately, so we've stopped using it.
Scroll down: https://arstechnica.com/author/dan-goodin/ This is just a teeny tiny sampling of the security vulnerabilities disclosed every day. Our industry is just not built with security as a goal, and even if we started caring about it today, we have 50 years of not caring to patch up. Caring about security in a meaningful way (i.e. formal verification, engineer licensing & liability) is really, really expensive. No one is going to carry that burden when their competitors don't have to. The end result is the situation we find ourselves in: there is no such thing as computer security, and any networked computer should be considered compromised by default.
Information about base rates make it hard to perpetuate the narrative.

Fritz OS 7.57 and 7.31 Update Close Actively Exploited Vulnerability
[German news article]

Yesterday AVM released a new update for the Fritz!OS, which includes "stability and security updates", however it seems that it importantly fixes a security vulnerability that is maybe already actively getting exploited. So make sure to update if you happen to have a FritzBox :)
Ah but many people think Michigan/Huron should be considered one lake, in which case it would be largest by area and volume I think. It's a valid point given they are connected by a straight that is 5 miles wide at the narrowest and not very long and also very deep. Their levels are the same because they are essentially the same body of water.
Thank you for your response, I'll consider submitting it.

For context, I've thought about commenting on issues in the past, but especially on the heels of the fake comments regarding net neutrality, for lack of a better way to put it I'm left feeling outgunned against such sophisticated lawyers and companies. This may be a little paranoid, but from a risk perspective I also worry about having my name attached to comments that go against the interests of large companies which dominate the marketplace. I also have hesitation about identity theft and uncertainty about the process.

Again, thank you for bring the conversation home, so to speak. I'll look at the process again.
Let us not forget the US too, which famously also tortures and has had at least 9 men “die in custody” in Guantanamo Bay. Men that haven’t had a trial and are effectively there because they’re dissidents.
In addition to the other replies you’ve gotten, UHP (ultra high purity) helium is also important in certain welding processes, although there are, generally at least, substitutes in that field.
openwrt is surely lacking in many aspects, but all the points you brought forward also apply to the manufacturer firmware but those are even less user friendly and cannot be modified.

So many arguments against this boil down to 'Anything less than perfection isn't perfect.'

That true.

But it's also missing goods of a less-than-perfect but better-than-worst-case system.

By your argument, TLS shouldn't exist.

And yet, it does, is widely deployed, and has generally improved the wire-security of the internet as a whole. Even while having organizational and threat surface flaws.

I agree with you that no government entity should have decryption keys in their possession.

However, I disagree that there should be no way for them to force decryption.

There's technical space between those two statements that preserves user privacy while also allowing the legal systems of our society to function in a post-widespread personal encryption age.
Yeah, the article is paywalled unfortunately. Thanks for linking to the study.
This would be an absolutely terrible standard. CVEs really, really suck. See, for example, this CVE for curl[1] that was assigned a 9.8. Or read sqlite's page on CVEs[2]. The sqlite issues alone would make this a non-starter, because you're not gonna convince everyone in every piece of software you use to update their version of sqlite.

All Internet supported devices should explicitly provide documentation about their functional behavior when there is no internet.

A few examples-

- internet enabled lights should say if they light up if no internet is available.

- internet enabled exercise equipment should say what is operational and what is not when there is no internet.

- automobiles should provide thorough documentation about what does not work and what does work when there is no internet
Clown balloons are filled with helium, so there is some form of connection between fuckery and the gas.
> Do you mean you'd like a self-contained binary to run a private provider/modules registry?

Yes, indeed. But it seems the problem more was something with Google's algorithm, I swear a month ago this here [1] wasn't on the first page when searching for "terraform private provider registry".

That also answered the second question.

Two years or so in, I'm hooked. I've already decided that if I return to office I'll need one for each location (not interested in carrying one back and forth).

I've used an "ergonomic" "split layout" keyboard for years. Specifically, I used the MSFT Natural 4000 since about 2010 due to RSI and typing-related pain. Even with that keyboard, I still had pinky/ring-finger related RSI from modifier keys (shift/ctrl/esc), but it was rather minimal if I was careful and kept my "off-hours" related typing minimal.

I picked up the Moonlander after looking at multiple truly-split keyboards including the Ergodox, Nyquist, Kinesis Advantage 2 (and later 360). I've used a Via/QMK keyboard as well and I will say that Oryx and the Configurator seem much more user-friendly and featureful.

The auto-shift feature is great, as I rarely need to use the shift key for normal typing. Having a toggle key to quickly disable it for things like gaming or the odd application that doesn't detect keydown/up for shifted keys as expected (or perhaps it's on the kbd firmware side and isn't sending a held-down shifted key, who knows) is rather useful.

Layers are your friend and don't be worried about printing out a layer map while you're learning. And don't be afraid to change your layout to try something.

I changed my layout multiple times a day for the first two or so weeks, maybe once a day for another two weeks, then perhaps once a week to once a month over the next few months. I think I last changed my layout 6 months ago to add a new shortcut for a feature added to my IDE.

If you're already accustomed to a split keyboard, expect minimal growing pains beyond learning your layer keys and such. But if it's your first time using a split KB, then you'll have that adjustment too. MSFT used to have a sculpted kb that wasn't a full split and that was a good "training wheels" kb for a split, but I don't think they make that board anymore. Basically, if you don't alrady use a split, expect to reach for keys on the other side a bit until your brain adjusts.

I also suggest using background colors in your layers to indicate hotkeys and such. It started as a crutch for me, but I've come to really like it as it serves as a bit of a reminder for those less-used shortcuts.

The ability to hot-swap your key switches and caps is great. I ended up with a highly tactile switch that isn't much louder than the usual "cherry MX browns", but that is entirely optional. The out of the box keys are perfectly fine for those not interested in that feature.

From Github Status page a few minutes ago: Update - We are investigating an issue that is impacting a small percentage of requests across all services including authentication and are working on mitigating impact.
I don't think the question "will WASM win?" is about JS vs other languages. In my mind it's about the web as a platform versus "apps".

WASM will be used in cases when performance and correctness is worth the extra effort. Libraries, components, etc. Js will glue it all together, like the Python of the web.
I completely agree that it is meaningless to assert that something is "secure". Even very well secured things have been hacked, and the smallest of mistakes can have huge impact.

What would be meaningful is an assertion that some basic set of secure practices have been or are followed. For example, that there are no default passwords on a device, that security updates will be provided on some defined schedule, that network protocols meet some reasonable standard of security, etc.
True, proper wood furniture have become more of a luxury as more and more utility is drawn from the likes of mass manufactured furniture like that of IKEA's.

I'm a weekend woodworker, and I have built a lot of things for my house like my kid's cradle, bed, our custom wardrobe, fancy looking shelves etc. However, even I think IKEA furniture has its place in my house. Our bed for example is IKEA MALM, our kitchen is made by IKEA. Some things are just not worth my time and effort and the cost of solid wood. IKEA quality is good enough and the price is right for them.

Recently, I have been bombarded with ads from some smallish furniture companies from Europe on Facebook. Dont know how the algorith decided on it, but it did. I see several companies that do few things and do them well, but not targeted at teh luxury buyer or vintage collector. They are targeted that a consumer looking for better than IKEA like you described. Perhaps, what you're looking for is coming already and you need to look deeper for now.
Then you finally do all the research and they reject your quote.

> when people would say "If they would've done it, they would have gotten a tip for it..." it's just not true

Except the next guy completed the service as requested, and I handed him a $50 cash tip?

> But don't act like we live in a paradise that doesn't have extreme inequality and class tension when you use an app that summons a member of the underclass to do your bidding for $18k per annum and they are rude or have a fucking attitude with you.

Maybe you're projecting your own ignorance. The majority of my life has been spent in great poverty. I am part of this "underclass". My sister does Door Dash, and it doesn't pay her bills, and I have to compensate for the difference. I'm extremely aware of the exact economics behind Door Dash.

I've usually been at the bottom end of this "extreme inequality and class tension". For you, this might be a realization, for me, it's a reality I've long known. Did it even occur to you that in this situation I obviously didn't have a car myself? This person was already one step above the economic ladder than myself, as they owned a vehicle.

> and they are rude or have a fucking attitude with you.

I spent my youth deeply broke, working as as server for the upper class of my state in a rural area with little economic opportunity. My mom can't hold a job, my dad is not in my life, and I was homeless at 15. All I knew was poverty and sickness for a long time.

If I can not catch a fucking attitude while shaking my governor's hand and getting paid $12 an hour, then some guy who is getting $50 tip + fees for a 3-item order can shut the fuck up and do the job they literally accepted to do, instead of cursing at me and mocking me and intentionally sabotaging my order. I wish I got paid that kind of money back then.

If they have a problem with their socioeconomic position, I'm not the guy to take it out on.
This has nothing to do with selling off the reserve, but they have found new resources, see https://www.cnn.com/2016/06/28/africa/helium-discovery-tanza... . This one expects to start producing in 2025 (according to more recent articles).

This is an interesting use case for AI — I spent a lot of time at my previous company messing around with Sentry's grouping interface that was a major PITA. Would have loved to just use natural language instead of weird regex-ish matching.

Curious from y'alls testing, what type of errors do NOT seem to work well / AI has trouble tagging?
> There's very little in between, even if I'm willing to pay a bit more for something a bit nicer.

Same has happened in clothing. To get something other than cheap crap made out of synthetic fibers, you now have to go premium. Are people really less discerning than they used to be? Has the average purchasing power declined? Or is the problem that people don't want to commit to something that lasts for years, because they fear their taste may change?
If someone's a pro, they'd charge a flat rate to tell the customers what they need, or for a given outcome. Like a flat rate to spec out an MVP. Or to get to $X in revenue.
I think our system has become Byzantine. The term comes from the Byzantine Empire, whose code of laws grew with time. Over hundreds of years the society was mired in complexity.

There are too many rules and regulations. The best thing you could do within your role is to advocate for rolling back and eliminating existing regulations to simplify business.
The requirement can be easily bypassed by going bankrupt before the required time is up. You will soon hear advice like "if you want to get in to the IoT space, create a new C Corp for each iteration of your product..."

Bookshelves are pretty low-traffic, so I don’t see why an Ikea one wouldn’t last as long as you needed it to. I think you’ll probably get tired of the look of it before the structure fails in any meaningful way.
Almost all applications do this now.
Even when I search logged out and in "in cognito mode", Google shows me the same repetitive ads and curated search results over and over. I'll search on two other peoples' computers and get two entirely different sets of results.
The last time I used dating apps, several of them only showed me people of similar race and appearance. Like, I'm an extreme minority in a city of several million people and several different apps showed me a few hundred people with similar coloring and said there was no one else around.
It's ridiculous and as long as the only motive is to consolidate wealth in the hands of a small number of owners, it will never change. This is exactly what capitalism delivers.
