> for this to work like they want, they would need to increase non-car ways of getting into and around the city

NYC already has the most non-car ways of anywhere in the country by a long shot. Subways, trains, buses. Taxis, Ubers, CitiBike.

What on earth more improvements do they want?
Andreessen Horowitz Poured $200M into Startup Now It’s Bankrupt
In ME school I was on our human powered vehicle team and we actually designed our bike with a flywheel. I remember using it like one or two times during a race at UF just to give my legs a break. It was a piece of junk bike, but the flywheel was cool.

Yes, replacing a full duty database with an in-process SQLite generally simplifies things if you can afford it. Even if not that's a bad example, since in prod your fat database will be om another computer for real, so you'd never use a Unix socket when developing locally.
Yeah it’s still robotic, I just tried. When enunciating long conjugate parts of a sentence such as “A long windy snow filled country road”, it doesn’t know that this is a one set of adjectives describing a country road. It’s a dead give away it’s AI. Maybe they can fix this.

It's not a black swan if there are historical examples, is it?
Irrelevant, though, as it still causes harm, which is the original differentiator.

Remake Blood 2 already
A few years ago their Bluetooth apps didn’t require registration, now the do. So now you’d need to keep track of the measurements yourselves, e.g. using a spreadsheet. Can not recommend Omron anymore.

By a long shot? Those, or an equivalent, are pretty standard in all major cities.

(Lime/Spin rental scooters are in the same category as rental bicycles, imo)
Funny enough, that might be exactly why web devs want Safari on Windows, optimally with the whole Apple media stack like iTunes is already shipping: to know what their website would do on a Mac without having one.

(Media stack? Yes, I am salty about Opus Ogg support.)
More like hospitals refuse to self-fund residency slots. It's pretty bad when the number of doctors entering practice is fundamentally gated by residency positions funded by Congress.
Did not Amazon at some point buy or thought about buying up some of their business?
DIY edition? I've done this for myself and family with any ordinary laptop.

They always come with too little storage, with sometimes (not always) a 400 euros more expensive option having a normal storage size. Better to buy the specs you need and put in an 80-quid SSD yourself, then get that extra RAM a few years down the line when you start to need it and prices are reasonable (example graph https://snipboard.io/r90Bly.jpg for the top result for DDR4 SODIMM 16GB https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/484177/crucial-ct16g4sfd824a...)

I wonder if this is why they started soldering on half or all of the RAM
I'm no aviation expert, but perhaps with waypoints:

If flight plan #1 is known to be going from F-B at flight level 130, and you have a (supposedly) bogus flight plan #2, they can't quite be sure if it might be going from A-G at flight level 130 at the same time and thus causing a really bad day for both aircraft. I'd worry that dropping plan #2 into a queue for manual intervention, especially if this kind of thing only happens once every 5 years, could be disastrous if people don't realize what's happening and why. Many people might never have seen anything in that queue and may not be trained to diagnose the problem and manually translate the flight plan.

This might not be the reason why the developer chose to have the program essentially pull the fire alarm and go home in this case, but that's the impression I got.
"Bipartite" most certainly does not encompass all the nuance, and actually functions to confuse. In a scenario of two parties, one wanting to communicate and the other one wanting to not listen, it's quite clear that the second party is not obliged to listen.

Whereas these three (or more) party situations are exactly what we're discussing here - where two endpoint parties are trying to communicate yet there is a third party in the middle playing the position of censor. This is the entire crux of the matter.

When you say that ISPs do have the liberty to censor, are you speaking positively or purely descriptively? Because what I see is a description of our traditional values that had been previously serving to foster an open society, but have now fallen apart with companies scaling to own much larger portions of markets, prying into what should be the business of their customers, and colluding with each other to create unavoidable de facto governmentesque power. If you really don't see the problem with an ISP censoring, then how about the electric company?

Also the idea of companies being incentivized to not unjustly deny service because they'd be leaving business on the table is blatantly fallacious.
In this LLM world how do we stay safe from redundancies
I didn't mean to say it's impossible. I mean that it would require a great deal of effort for some people, though, depending on their finances, mental/emotional state, responsibilities, etc.
Well, the new CEO was paid $10.4 million in 2021, and the departing CEO $15 million, so you just need to cut about twenty-five such people. [1]

You're comparing religions that have existed for thousands of years to ones that have existed for tens of years. I don't think they're exactly comparable.
Other countries have these all over.
My take is that it might be more fruitful to look for groups of matches that have been fixed than individual matches.

When you look at

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1978%E2%80%9379_Boston_College...

or

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_NBA_betting_scandal

you see that people (particularly people who are corrupt) are greedy and they aren't going to be satisfied with fixing one match. A person who is in a position to fix a match needs to conspire with people who can take economic advantage of it and as the conspiracy grows the pressure increases to take more profits.
I'm talking displayport, I don't really care about HDMI connectivity since I drive a 4k display and I have never gotten decent frame rates with HDMI.
> What is preventing most people from losing weight?

For me, in the past, it has been that food is a comfort that I seek when I'm stressed/bored/anxious. Weight loss is just CICO, but the solution is not always as simple as the equation.

Old laptop, maybe. How many laptops since 2020 have an inbuilt Ethernet port?
His employment status does not change anything. The tests and the page were the same before he joined Brave.

The tests are open source, objectively verifiable.

Author's employment status is being just used as an excuse to refute objective information imo.
I think with C, learning how the pdp11 worked gets in the way of learning how to program. I think most people should eventually learn C, but control flow should come first, and java provides more guard rails. No `char *` and no segfaults.

Mission accomplished, bit only if everyone can use it, and no one is in a position to gatekeep anyone else's access.

Which will never happen. Controlling access to power/information is too important.
and https://ai.engineer/summit ! as this industry builds out there need to be multiple forums for different groups to get together
Another advocate of this approach here. Define some form of time-boxing: 90 minutes, 3 hours, 1 day, 1 week, whatever. When this is up force a capture of current state, knowledge, assumptions and ideas, then walk away and intentionally drop context. When you return it’s a great spot to be self critical and reorientate towards what you’re actually trying to achieve. Think of it like async rubber-ducking.

If you continue to think about the problem space during that ‘off time’ (which you likely will) add the thought to some notes for review when you return.
Not OP, and I can only speak for the circles I grew up in, but some churches are full of deeply traumatized people. I think some of the authoritarian tendencies have roots in a deep desire/need to regain some kind of feeling of control in their lives, and here’s this group of people that meets every week who provides a level of comfort and community while offering a gospel that can both satisfy that need while making people feel righteous in the process.

I don’t want to doxx myself so I’ll keep the details vague, but both of my parents came from disturbing environments and were subject to things that would universally be understood as deeply traumatic. I think they’re good people, but very very confused, and their fundamentalism was a product of the degree of unresolved trauma/dysfunction in their lives and their need to impose some kind of order on their circumstances.

Not all churches look this way. Mine sure did. Almost everyone had a story. Thankfully I escaped the bubble. But not without consequence. Through no fault of my own, I was indoctrinated into a belief system that I then had to spend decades and counting unwinding and unlearning. I mention this because a lot of people want to focus on other people’s lives because that’s what they were taught to do. People were born into beliefs they didn’t choose.

None of which is to excuse the behavior. But I’ve seen up close where it comes from.
I don't really know where you're getting this number. By my count they've made about three dozen films this decade, including a James Bond film and Creed III.
This is going to be a big deal. So many applications and appliances that have received bare-minimum updates won't get a new openssl major version. Expect new attacks on your shitty IOT devices in the coming year
It is a balance. In the other extreme you can't just have gifted people manning your army, or you will have lack of manpower. Not all roles require average or above-average intellect anyway. Of course, we are discussing defensively, where one weighs the danger posed to, and contributed by, a low-IQ individual against the counterfactual of civilian liberties lost owing to the failure of the military from a lack of manpower.
Llama 2 and Bedrock is exactly what we are looking at.

I have been playing around with it for a priority enterprise use-case at my org, and this seems promising. We tried using the Retool vectors, but it really struggles to pick up the right context if we dump data without pre-processing it. For example, adding a URL without stripping header/footers/disclaimers/cross links etc. I think adding some steerability to the context selection process is going to be key.

I also have to admit that while retool is extremely feature rich - the user-experience is clunky and the learning curve is steep.
I give him credit for putting gobs of money and patience into some long shot and longer payoff tech R&D which virtually no one else was willing to do on the same scale and patient time frame. He may have not been the genius engineer behind the tech, but the genius engineers that built those things would have not had the same opportunity to do so without him. There is simply no doubt that he accelerated that tech.

Is he a shit human being? Of course. Does he make himself out to be smarter than he is? Of course. Would we have private space flight and viable consumer EVs without him? Of course, but not for a long time.
It made me think of the “put a traffic cone on it” denial of service attack
> big fare evasion problem

I just don't buy this. The city could easily afford to just foot the bill with the economic traffic it drives. It's just a non-problem they trot out to work people up.
Hah! I appreciate your reply :)
If you're just trying to hack something together and make it work, I'd agree that python is the best, even for somebody who's never written a line of code in their life.

If you're trying to train somebody to be a software engineer, rather than just automating a particular data entry task as quickly as possible, I think boiler plate is good. It's better to force the details on the person at first than to have them be hidden, automatic, and mysterious forever.
Reconciling AI Governance and Cyber Security
Another feature: if you make a repo and name it your username, you will get this message:

>USERNAME is a special repository: its README.md will appear on your profile!

then you get a template with some emoji and a nice way to spruce up your profile page.

This is documented here: https://docs.github.com/en/account-and-profile/setting-up-an...

But as OP says, nobody reads the docs. Including me!
> Making things modular will make them more expensive and create more failure.

This may be true, but how much will the failure rate increase by? Isn't it worth the added flexibility?

> Each connector, slot, screw is a cost and failure addition.

One distinctive feature of the framework laptop is is minimal use of screws, to make it easier for maintenance (and tinkering I suppose).
This is something that never gets old to me - seeing other experienced devs playing guessing games instead of instrumenting the problem thing and walking through it step by step.

That’s not to say that you can’t guess the first, or second place to look, but that’s where it should end.

The second thing I see often from smart devs is that they find some bug, assume it’s the one they came looking for and declare victory.

The third is the worse by far, which is to blame the cloud provider/vendor for all issues, especially you not reading their documentation.
So their path back is to stop obsessing with thin maybe?
Recommendations to the author:

1) As others have said, a version with black on white illustrations would be massively useful for printouts.

2) Bookmarks/Table of Contents. While I was happy to see the headings in the ToC in the book itself were clickable, there's only one bookmark in the PDF and that's randomly for page 298.

3) Why distribute it as a zip file, 3.8 MB vs 3.5 MB doesn't seem worth the hassle.

4) A miniature lineart on the pinout chart pages would be nice too.

5) USB Type Micro B is listed 3.0 then 2.0, but the other USB ports are listed 2.0 then 3.0, likewise the Micro B appears before all the other types, but Mini B is after the USB B connectors

6) You have firewire 6 pin, but not 8 pin or 4 pin

7) The board on page 264 looks like it should be a Rock Pro 64, but it's labeled Rock 64 like the previous board

Because I don't like to just complain, I've created a bookmarks text file that can be applied to the PDF using JPdfBookmarks and includes some of the corrections I've noted above. There doesn't appear to be a feedback/suggestions link on the site, so here's a link to a repo instead

This is actually abduction. Induction doesn’t fail, abduction is probabilistic.

I learnt VB6 when I'm still 10 years old and all seems so simple and magical. Then I encounter "Visual Basic" again in high school and it's almost unrecognizable with all the C# nonsenses. I still don't enjoy programming GUI like I was in VB6.
This is a problem in major metro areas, and it's probably tied directly to being a wildly unpopular form of policing: a form that actually affects rich people.
I would say that focusing on the total big number is deliberately misleading. When the goal is to accelerate (decelerate) mass using the friction created by the weight of the mass itself, the amount of mass cancels out. Likewise when the goal is to transport mass, then cost per unit mass is what matters.

As I said in another comment, we don't condone SUVs or tractor-trailers ignoring red lights just because they're heavier.
You may not be paying attention. A decent slice of the population wants the government to control everything, all of the time. These people are all around you, all of the time, no matter where you are.
For what it’s worth, the explanation of the error was obvious to me after seeing the code for a few seconds. So maybe my point is… don’t worry if stuff like that in shell programming seems obscure to you; it becomes much less obscure with practice (and along the way you do learn genuine lessons about unix-like operating systems, not just shell programming details).
Sorry, that's not obscure!
Not who you responded to be a dealer mentioned to that getting an in-state financing was mandatory either through them or any in state agency and I couldn't use what I had.

Until I said, oh well that sucks and tried walking out. "Wait let us see what we can do."

Isn’t being cold leading to an increase in blood pressure a well known physiological reaction to cold temps, that will spike BP but not be the under lying cause?
There's also a nasty gotcha in the Pi Pico pinout. Pins 1-20 are listed from top to bottom, in the same order they appear in the board image. Pins 21-40 are listed in a second column, also from top to bottom; unfortunately, this is the reverse of their physical position in the board image.
Giving the filter a quick wash once a week is way less work than pre-rinsing all your dishes.

Presumably plates had the leftovers scraped off into the compost bin before putting into dishwasher anyways.
this is what happens when you de-industrialize your nation and focus on things like finance that brings quick and cheap $.
Well, no. The flaw in my comment. But my main intent was to speak to the broken nature of American "democracy", as it is called.

In Australia, we don't elect a president, so we don't have primaries. The head of state - the Governor General - is almost never involved in the process. Instead, the leader of the party that has a parliamentary majority (and therefore forms government) becomes the Prime Minister. And the party leader is selected in whatever arcane manner the party desires. People vote for party representatives or independents at the level of their local electorate. The prime minister (Australia) doesn't get to override the parliament by decree. And since the house of representatives and senate are functional, decrees are unnecessary.

What we don't have is:

* Gerrymandering. Electoral boundaries are drawn fairly by the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC).

* Rules that take away people's right to vote. Our voter participation rates are about 90%[1] in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. If you don't have an opinion, you show up at the polling booths, get your name ticked off, draw a nice big cock on the ballot papers and drop them in the box, or just walk out.

* Endless filibustering. We do have Double Dissolution[2] (the nuclear option) where both the House and the Senate are dissolved (if only there was a big vat of acid!) and everyone goes back to the polls. It's very rarely used, but occasionally threatened.

* First-past-the-post voting: we use a ranked-choice system called preferential voting, where if your first choice doesn't get a majority, your vote transfers to your second choice etc.[3] That means we do not have a two party system and you can not waste your vote by voting for someone other than the big two.

* Other American shitfuckery that I can't think of right now. But we do have some American-style donation shitfuckery that I wish we could fix. Money has disproportionate say in our political system, though it is far less broken than American politics.

There might be ways around the price issue. But if it really came down to that, I'd argue "there's no free lunch" should apply.

We already pay a price to have regulatory watchdogs intervene when companies cheat the market and or distort the rules and impact society as a whole, so it wouldn't be unprecedented either.
Greyed-out buttons are similarly terrible UX. Far too often, it’s impossible to figure out why a button is un-clickable.
Hardly relevant. Antifa shot at police, threw Molotovs and cut arborist ropes endangering the workers.

They're in the same price tier and both target software devs. With the XPS you're paying about the same price for a far better display and trackpad. With the framework, you might save some money on memory and storage and get decent repairability.

And yes, I'd say an XPS compares in build quality to a MacBook Air, and has so many benefits over a Mac that it's not worth listing.

There was a time when shareware ruled the world before the World Wide Web. VB was king. Even corporate America was all in on VB, Powerbuilder, and Delphi.

But once the Internet truly arrived and building complex, distributed, highly interconnected systems became normal, the tools were only going to get more sophisticated.
Modern AI depends on one thing above all else: The unimaginable compute power provided by today's GPUs.

All theoretical foundations are trivial by comparison. The basic math can be understood by an interested high school student, but unless you are able to do billions of matrix multiplications per second, it doesn't mean anything. AI was going nowhere before Nvidia.

Calling these people "the minds that launched AI" is like calling Archimedes the father of hot-air balloons, because he recognized the principle of buoyancy.

I was young when neopets was big, so I didn't experience all of the aspects of the game. but I do remember that when signing up, it asked my age. After answering truthfully, I was told that I need my parents to sign a document for me to play. I obviously wasn't going to do that, so then I learned one of the most important things about the internet, it is okay to lie.
