It was a mistake at the time, but we've come around full circle a bit. If I recall correctly, and I am not a military expert, engagements are happening at longer distances again and enemies have stronger body armor. Thus the need once more for a large cartridge.
Some things I haven't seen answers to yet: What's the best way to store lego to keep it like new, or at least well preserved? Is the material choice of the storage container important?
Is it possible to improve the quality of old bricks by storing it together new material of the same plastic type? (A bit like reviving stale bread or cookies/biscuits with fresh ones)

Anybody any experience with this?

I've never used a McDonald's bathroom where I was required to make a purchase. Sometimes the bathrooms are located around the corner from the counter, near a door, in such a fashion that the employees can't generally tell if someone comes in, uses the bathroom, and leaves. I suspect it varies based on location.

Are processor cartridges at all common, even among homebrew games? Just curious.

I think we need to be reasonable about how much magic we really expect them to put into this thing, since running Atari and Activision cartridges, like the 2600 (and 7800!) of old, is what most people would expect the machine to do. On the other hand... if they make the machine easily hackable, that might be pretty great, and earn this version of Atari a little respect.
LLMs is non deterministic, so tomorrow the same prompt can give you a totally different result.

That's what renders it nearly useless for such tasks, because you always have to check everything.
This is quite interesting. You could make a nice system by routing queries to the right LLM for a given type of task.
Frustrating stuff!

The one good experience I've had with customer support for a hardware+software company was for the Eufy cameras by Anker.

Opening the app would stop the audio stream that was playing. No reason to do that while showing me a list of cameras. The audio stream should have been interrupted only once one selects a camera to view and listen to.

I wrote customer support and after some explanation and friction, they understood and a fix was released about two months later.

Of course. The problem is that your view of the economy is optimistic, perhaps dangerously so. Let's hope we never reach the limit and have a concrete problem on our hands, I guess.
Oh, sure. The point is just that nobody has to put a business goal in to directly create that feature for it to be exposed by a general purpose classifier.
Mail does this for privacy, not security. Emails can load remote content and this can be used to track you. This is not generally true of images sent in iMessage because they get sent directly.

I have run into consistency issues on booking where it'd show you a room and then say it's not available when you try to book. Go back, refresh, there's a room, book -> error again.

But to answer your question, it's probably more about hotels advertising truthful number of rooms than booking's system, and I believe booking makes sure hotels don't overbook by penalizing them.

It is possible to be impolite, ungrateful, obnoxious and correct.
I think this is a pretty broad generalization. Personally, I’ve never once been refused access to a McDonald’s restroom.

Brightest in the world definitely isn’t what H1B recruits on. It recruits on who is the most desperate to do hundreds of leetcode problems in order to stay in the country.

I have never found a reason to believe any folks on H1B are smarter than their non-H1B peers. By any stat, never seen it.

What do you expect from a company whose app requires you to re-login every other week to be able to fly your drone?

It seems like it would also include people who are buying a new property to occupy as owners that will be mortgaged, while planning to later sell their existing, also-mortgaged, owner-occupied property.

Those people are not investors by any useful English-language definition, but would be counted as such by this method. This is exactly the situation we were in when we bought our current home, and anecdotally, is not uncommon when people are moving in together from previously separate, owned properties. Sellers prefer zero sales contingencies over one sale contingency and prefer one over two.

i live in Canada and luckily bought a house about 5 years ago before this all went crazy. one of the main reasons I bought is because my mortgage payment is and was half of what rent would be in a comparable house and i get all my money back if I decide to sell and move on . i don't make a ton of money but my house is a great safety net and by the time i retire i will have zero monthly payments be it rent or mortgage.

its crazy tho , my friend is looking to buy the same house as mine , same layout etc and its more than double what i paid for mine in the span of 5 years. our kids will never be able to enter the real estate market and will be living with roommates or in dads basement for ever.
> I don't know that that's any worse than "dependent on the trust and common sense of the npm package author" or "dependent on the trust and common sense of the rust cargo maintainer"

You don't need to rely on the trust and common sense of anyone in those cases, because oversized shifts aren't undefined behavior in Javascript or Rust. If C (or C++, or any other language) wants the same benefit, they can just say that it's not undefined behavior, and thereby require implementations to define the behavior somehow. And "backwards compatibility" isn't an excuse here: UB means that, currently, anything can happen, so having the standard specify that one particular thing happens is an entirely backwards-compatible change.
It’s not cheaper for smaller companies to do this kind of moderation. If it’s too expensive even with Google’s economy of scale, then it’s going to be even worse for small businesses.
> National borders are very real to most nations. Similarly, someone's specific plot of real estate feels very real to them as well

The borders of plots of land are frequently disputed. There are plenty of places in the US where two or more deeds define overlapping properties (which should obviously never be the case, but here we are!).

Country borders are no different, and it's unsurprising that they very frequently disagree. The US and Canada have disputed territory, even. To suggest that borders are "real" in any sense implies that there's one correct, canonical set of boundaries. But there's not and never has been. There's no singular authority that decides what the borders should be. Wars are literally being fought right now over borders.
>In fairness, the worst case implication is that nationals with a cushy salary are less motivated than poorly paid foreigners who need to maintain their job to maintain their visa and position in the immigration process.

"Motivated" can be one of those euphemistically loaded words. Am I "insufficiently motivated" when I refuse to cross an ethical/legal/moral line? Is an H1B who has their residency on the line "more motivated" when they're totally okay with crossing that line?

Also, here's another little thing you don't get told about H1B and everyone just assumes you you know: any H1B you manage is only supposed to be able to work in their state of residence, and you, the employer are supposed to enforce that.

Think about that from a native's point of view. You:re drawing a box around this person and basically saying "you must stay here and work". Whereas I just move around and do what needs being done wherever it's conducive to being done from.

Sure, call me privileged, but it's awful bloody draconian when the System demands you implement a surveillance mechanism on their behalf over your workers.

I wonder how the rigidity holds up over time. Working at a robotics company, the mechanical engineers had to overcome quite some challenges to find a compromise between, precision, speed and repeatability.

Yes but the question was how does one consultant earn multiple millions of dollars.

Cars waste exactly as much specific energy coming to a stop from a given speed as a train (or anything else) does. City speeds are limited precisely because otherwise the stopping distance would be too great. If you're driving 25mph in a city and someones jumps out in front of you and you hit them, you're not going to get blamed. If you're driving 65mph you will.

It only "makes sense" for trains to have unimpeded right of way if you're prioritizing corporate expedience over human life. Within my point there are still two main ways trains can move at high speeds - bridge crossings and crossing gates with positive control. If railroads want to operate at high speeds, then they should have to fix their infrastructure rather than being allowed to continue to dumping their externalities onto the public.
Right. By logging all of this, then vectorizing, then evaluating using some type of transfer knowledge (classify this response and it's accuracy), one could build up a routing table of likely candidates for building an ensemble to evaluate the correct answer.

Perhaps it is area dependent in UK. When I lived in the North I think access to toilets was a lot worse than down South. We went visiting to many tourist places like the east coast, Yorkshire moors, various historic places. All these trips had to be planned carefully as usually there were no toilets available. Even in food places in such tourist areas. The only place one could always find a toilet at were petrol stations. Another thing is toilet availability for people going for a night out.

In contrast when I lived in London I always felt access to public toilets was pretty good. There were lots of places like McDonald's, Starbucks etc that always let the public use their toilets for free. Then there are free toilets on many large rail stations past the barriers as well as paid toilets before the barriers. Finally there are free standing paid toilets dotted around the city. Back then one had to put a coin to open them.

Personally I think London is one of the better European cities in this regard.

> interesting niche projects from a user privacy perspective.

While it's difficult to track Waterfox's stance, this is from one of the earlier blog posts on what appears to be a hot button topic for users:

I’ve never wanted or tried to have Waterfox appear as a privacy tool or anything more than what it is. That’s for hyper specialised tools such as Tor. People have extrapolated more from Waterfox themselves.

I never wanted Waterfox to be a part of the hyper-privacy community. It would just feel like standards that would be impossible to uphold, especially for something such as a web browser on the internet. Throughout the years people have always asked about Waterfox and privacy, and if they’ve ever wanted more than it can afford, I’ve always pushed them to use Tor. Waterfox was here for customisations and speed, with a good level of privacy.

I can respect what the community fights for, but I don’t think I can respect how they sometimes fight for it or how they act when they believe they are wronged. Harassment and foul words seem to be the normal, as I’ve experienced. As far as I’m aware, Waterfox has never been listed anywhere as a privacy tool, and rightly so.

Note the Waterfox commenter in this thread is not calling it "privacy" tool, while focusing on aspects that carry "trust". These are indeed distinct.

We have labour protections in the UK and this isn't a big problem. We can't fire people on manager whims and tantrums, and there is more accountability in the process, but not a problem or an obstacle to firing people who are not capable or performing.

First, there is the initial probation period. 80% of the people who won't perform, won't perform in the initial months. You just need a veto system or objective managers and it's easy to let slackers go. A lot of managers are soft on their employees and let them pass probation even if their performance is somewhat poor and, frankly, sometimes it's obvious it will continue to be poor. This is a mistake. So long as the company doesn't make these mistakes, this solves 80% of the matter.

Secondly, employees can be put on probation again, or on personal improvement plans. Yes, it can be done for actual performance reasons, not only Google-style. They can then fail these periods if their performance doesn't improve. But once again, this needs to be done with a clear head and accountability. This solves another 10% of the matter.

Thirdly, you can demote employees so that their pay matches their effort. This probably needs some foresight as demotion requires consent from the employee, if I recall. But if that consent is given as part of the employment contract, it's another way to make things just. You pay someone who underperforms less, you use that cash to hire people who perform. This option mitigates the perceived problem in firing under-performers even more.

In short, so long as there is good evidence that the employee was underperforming, it's not a problem. There are small peculiarities around dealing with this and not exposing the company legally beyond reason. But that's true for everything. Just don't be a clueless asshole about firing employees, do it when there really is a good reason, and it will all be fine.

There are, of course, employees who are vindictive or abuse these laws. But then again, a vindictive employee or one willing to abuse the company into keeping them around is a global problem. Some small % of people will just do these things everywhere - labour protections or not.

Yes, I follow the point. I am disputing your characterization of "popular city in Europe without a serious housing crisis". On the strength of available evidence, Vienna has what can be fairly described as a serious housing crisis.

This was interesting to me, so I dug a bit further. This gives a bit more context behind why: https://community.openai.com/t/observing-discrepancy-in-comp...

Quote below:

Even with a greedy decoding strategy, small discrepancies regarding floating point operations lead to divergent generations. In simpler terms: when the top-two tokens have very similar log-probs, there’s a non-zero probability of choosing the least probable one due to the finite number of digits that you’re using for multiplying probs and storing them.

It should also be noted that, as the decoding occurs in an autoregressive way, once you have picked a different token the whole generated sequence will diverge, as this choice affects to the probability of generating every subsequent token.
