We finally became real adults the other year, in that we were hosting a big Thanksgiving at our own place. When we pulled out all the fine china that we'd been handed down we found that we were going to be short some table settings.

We looked at all the traditional stores (Penny's, etc) and found the prices for new china sets to be quite a lot.

On a lark, we went to the charity shop to just see what we could find. Hey, maybe, just maybe, there would be a set that matched what we already had?

The kitchen area was just chock-a-block with fine china. Glasses, plates, little forks, you name it. The silver was real silver judging by the tarnishing, still in those wooden velvet lined boxes. A bit of cellotape binding all the various items together. A whole coffee pot, pure silver, just sitting there next to dozens more. Any style or coloring or gold plating that you liked. Yeah, some of the sets were incomplete. Missing a tea up or a spoon. But no gold lined dinner plate made in Italy or Japan was ever more than a dollar.

We pieced together a whole set for 16 people of everything we could think of for under $200. Little oyster forks, big dinner plates, gold plated napkin rings, you name it, we have it now. And if we ever break anything, back to the charity shop to just replace it for under $0.50. Get a whole new set of them for under $10.

People are practically giving away all the fine china in my part of the world, and they still can barely find anyone to take it.

I don't know what our ancestors were thinking with this stuff, but I doubt it turned out like they thought it would. A good lesson to us all.
Honestly I want to say something to the employees at grocery stores... They are more exposed than any of us to PBAs on receipt paper.
Well, you're not wrong! I understand power arbitrage is already a thing and for the most part it's OK. But once in a while you get situations like the crazy contracts in Texas a few years back. And I am a little concerned that if we create a large enough storage market controlled by a few big enough players, they could play financial games with a critical commodity, ie hoarding both generation and storage for peak resale value.

In both situations maybe there's an argument for market efficiencies and liquidity and such. But it scares me a little.

I am not a financial person (in the solar field, but not markets). I could totally be talking outta my ass!
Ruby, Java, Typescript, Javascript
I think you can tweak it. I'm not sure since I use it mainly for python and C++ but when I used it for html (very very rarely) I didn't notice it. I'll check again, maybe it's not optimized for web!

I wonder if it's something that I changed, since with settings sync it's hard to know what's the "default" in any extension even after reinstalling :')
I also spent most of my internship long ago researching secure operating systems for the analysts of the company I worked for and Tails was the best fit with Qubes being second due to how power hungry it is. Another was subgraph but at the time it wasn’t properly developed. Overall if you need a OS that guarantees that all your traffic is anonymised via Tor and that it is ephemeral Tails is superb.
I'm interested in why you chose this.

What are the main benefits you get from using Tails OS?

What downsides do you tolerate because of the benefits?
The device didn’t improve emissions. It was designed to try and prevent gas fumes from coming out of the tank. It technically did do that… but only if the bike was upright.
"AI" will not replace deep thinkers. It may, however, eventually replace mindless drones and fleshy bots.

In other words, the deeper you need to think to solve problems, the safer you are.
> We rationalize unmitigated cruelty toward animals — caging, commodifying, mutilating, and killing them to suit our whims — on the basis of our purportedly superior intellect.

Yet, it is our very intellect that recoils from cruelty.

Animals themselves don't really care about the suffering of other animals. Orcas eat the liver out of a still living Great White Shark (https://a-z-animals.com/blog/discover-how-killer-whales-sque...). Hyenas and African Wild dogs will start eating their prey as soon as they have immobilized it while it is still alive. If the prey is pregnant, they will rip out the fetus out the still living mother and eat it first.

Lions hunt in prides, and often while some of the lions are at the head, strangling the prey with their bite, the other lions will often start eating the belly, limbs, and genitals of the still alive prey.

A housecat will often prolong the suffering of its prey, "playing" with it, causing more and more injuries until it finally kills it.

Humans becoming more like animals would likely make us more cruel, not less cruel.
I’d go further and dictate that a reference implementation of the software be required in source code form, and the instructions include a secure boot bypass (e.g., cut this trace on the board, pull a jumper, etc).

This article is a lot of words about the fact that twitter, or should I say X, is promoting tweets, er posts, that keep one on X (posts without a link in them, the example given in the article is posts with pictures) instead posts that send one away from X (posts that consist of a link promoting something on an external website, which used to have the ability to go viral greatly helping the owner/author of what's on the external website).
How I stay reasonably anonymous online (2022)
Literally nothing you describe is unique to Utah or the LDS Church.

I agree that it isn't unique, but why does it matter? The point isn't that it is a unique situation, the point is that Utahns are being underserved by their officials.
Though I'm no fan of the LDS church's dominance in Utah politics, your assessment of their stance on the environment seems off base.

Example: This recent donation of agricultural water rights that they owned, to divert the water into lake preservation instead.

Thanks. I wonder if a reasonable approach could then be to first insert the data in a datawarehouse-like database suitable for analytics, and then use an LLM application to (1) generate SQL queries that could answer my question, reasoning about the schema (2) potentially summarize the output result set. It could still result in a significant boost of productivity.

I didn't even realize that. I buy mine online.
Fwiw, a friend works at a collection agency (that’s an entire different story), and it’s exactly as you say. Extremely rare that a company that sells their debt to the collection company will provide them any additional information regarding the debt.

My friend has told me that on occasion the debt collection company will reach out to the original owners of the debt and request additional information, but seldom get a response.

Anyone reading this, it is absolutely in your best interest to fight any debt, no matter if you believe you owe it or not. Nothing changes if you fight it and they have sufficient proof. Best case scenario is they wipe it from your credit report.

If you’ve already began making payments then you’re SOL, as making payments is considered ownership of the debt in question.
I see. Thanks for the correction! I edited my comment upstream.
As other posters say, there's probably a better solution, but to answer your direct question about how to automate the "unplug this cable, plug in that one"...

How about plugging all four cables into a managed Ethernet switch, and then tell it to disable the ports you don't want? That'll avoid any IP-layer shenanigans. You will need to have a box somewhere to run the script that pings things and then reconfigures the switch when it decides it's time to failover.
Nice! What kind of consulting and where would you suggest to look for these guys? I’m EU based.
A GTK 2 application compiled 25 years ago was before the Big Glibc Switch that caused us so many headaches in the early 00's, so no, it won't.
As soon as you use it, people will find it. So they might have tons of fun toys available but only for very wealthy clients.
They don't need to fool anyone. Lab grown diamonds are real diamonds. Only a tiny minority of people vested in the industry care about earth made diamonds.
Web accessibility guidelines suggest a minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1, or for AAA success 7:1. https://webaim.org/articles/contrast/

At 13.5:1, the contrast ratio on your site (#D8DAD7/#0F100F) is a bit much. With a background of #444444 the ratio would be 6.92:1, just shy of a AAA result.

Yes, but console makers don't really get to choose how, or with what intent, downstream users will modify devices if given a window to do so.

>It makes sense to me that a woman who feels like she experienced sexism at the workplace from men have a poor opinion of the men there.

This does not make sense to me. I've experienced poor treatment from whites, blacks, men, women, straights, and gays. Should I have a poor opinion of whites, blacks, men, women, straights, and gays?

It seems a similar leap from her own experience and anecdotal reports from coworkers to tarnish the 700-ish strong male pop of McMurdo as "mediocre."
You live in a different world where noone wants to use a year old phone. I certainly live in a different, and perhaps non-standard, world as well. At my game night last night there wasn't a single phone newer than 5 years.
Probably a pump-n-dump onto retail investors to make a quick buck... or they're paranoid and want to retain enough ownership to have some say in the future direction of the architecture... or both.

Ok, good, looks promising… now, how does one access this in [insert country here]?
During the pandemic I built a number of simple indoor solar systems, setting panels in the lower part of my windows (I keep the shades open at the top) and hooking up to either a homegrown controller/battery/inverter system or a jackery.

The jackery is roughly 30% more expensive but feels a lot less fragile than my homemade stuff, and I've moved all my device charging (tablet/phone/power tool battery) charging over to these systems.

It was a fun project! Cabling is always the part that sneaks up on you so make sure to plan out the cabling / what plug types you want / crimp or buy / etc. ahead of time.
> "Punt it to a library" isn't radically different from "punt it to Xorg", even if the slicing is a little different.

That's a reasonable expectation, but it turns out the slicing does matter. For example: With Xorg, setxkbmap will always work to change the keyboard layout on the fly. Now, wlroots does support configuring the keyboard layout, but it turns out the compositor has to actually hook that functionality up, so if I try out a new compositor that looks neat, I can quickly discover that there's actually literally no way to change the keyboard layout because the developer hasn't gotten around to adding that yet. This is not a hypothetical example.
This is literally the most prominent thing on the https://ipinfo.io home page.

> because women do not treat men the way she described anyway.

How would you know?
Just wanted to let you know, it's this transparency that turned me into a customer!

I love your company and service, but I hate your pricing. I work with a lot of small clients/apps that paying for usage would be a no-brainer, but the defined monthly price buckets don't make any economical sense at their scale. If you added a "pay as you go" tier that a small app could reasonably start by using dollars worth of API calls per month and grow from there, I'd be spreading your seed all over the place. I'm not saying this to rag on you, just trying to provide some constructive feedback as a thank you for your info sharing!
The vector ISA seems alright to me. Particularly compared to Neon, but even compared to SVE.
Irrelevant given they have completely different business models.
Reprogramming the navigation to take you to the ambush site or sending your route to mossad would be valuable. That’s without even considering the lethal options like disabling breaking, setting lane assist to swerve you into traffic etc
Just from the abstract, this is primarily for batching inference, for batched inference using GPUs gives an order of magnitude speed increase so probably not something that usually makes sense to do on CPUs…

Patent and copyright law already prevent that.

Storing it should be fine. It is charging it that is the issue.

Actually renamed Acorn Proton. Electron came later.
You're not wrong, but having two choices of supply does wonders for squeezing profit margins from both back to the customer. Duopolies are terrible but better than monopolies.
> Instagram uses Python (Django) for its backend. By using the same backend for Threads, we could leverage a lot of the existing tech stack for Threads and reuse most of our existing data models, business logic, security features, and server infrastructure. This also meant users could sign in to the app with their existing Instagram account, making it super simple to onboard and set up your Threads app.

Looks like Python and Django is extremely scalable at Facebook scale, even after using Threads I didn't realise any downtime at all.

It would be possible for Mastodon to learn from this so that they too can scale to 200 million users.
You're saying this as though the reason most people there are able to go is by living on savings. I don't think that's true - anyway with bread and board covered it's more likely to push away those with dependants than economic class. As someone who'd really like to work for my country's arctic/Antarctic program, I think the biggest barrier is getting qualified to work there, which is stuff like mountain leader courses etc. Mountaineering is not exactly a cheap hobby, but it's also fair that they only want to hire people with ice survival experience.

As for the sexism angle - yeah I can 1000% percent see being suck in a base for 6 months with nowhere else to go can be an extremely daunting prospect

A distribution focuses on the distribution part (eg: a package manager, repositories, etc).

Some distributions are operating systems (eg: OpenBSD, ArchLinux, Debian). Some operating systems are not distributions (they don’t include a mechanism to pull packages. Eg: windows, macOS). Some distributions are not operating systems (eg: homebrew, Flatpak).

Tails focuses on the operating system side of things. It’s focus isn’t on package distribution and letting you install things, but on downloading a usable OS image. It’s still a distribution, but that’s more of a technicality.
> I am also not fond of unions

I can understand this stance from the POV of a strong armed union monopolizing an industry and preventing small struggling businesses from making ends meet.

These are but lowly workers being exploited by a large corporation that makes hand-on-fist even in hard times. The power imbalance is huge and the cost of a wage increase so small respectively, I can't quite grok why you'd not be for it.
Linus is also kind of obsessive about this at the kernel level. I wish more of the userland shared that priority (cough cough)

That is a wild overreaction! If there's a legal consensus nobody is going to violate that. Even the huge companies that get vilified on here spend millions trying to comply with all the various jurisdictions' rules. Different parts of the EU can't even agree on how to interpret their own laws yet.

Licensure tends to be a protective mechanism to keep salaries high. If that's your goal, great, but it's a weird hammer to apply to fix your subjective opinion of what's ethical.
Yes? It’s a chemical process. A given yield of a given cultivar will transpire a fixed amount of water.

Ya I’m in the area. The OP’s viewpoint is illuminating in its candor but not surprising and explains why we’re where we’re at.

“Resources exist to be used, it’s been fine for 20 years why doesn’t that prove it’s fine” (about a thousands year old ecosystem). Incredible.

We will fully earn whatever outcomes come from this due to this being a prevalent local attitude. We showed up here in the 1800’s, we own it, we’ll drain it, it’s all fine.

Say what now? Gnome 3 is such a shitshow that I switched to XFCE because of it.
I can't validate if you are wrong or not. Just bring to your attention that one of their marketing slogan is "Amnesia" and "Persistent Storage on a USB stick". https://tails.net/about/index.en.html

The 'honeypot' concern is somehow valid because full-on privacy on the internet is as hard to achieve as privacy in a public park. Only its user can determine if their online activities goes against the (legal/moral/financial) interests of the most technically-advanced nation on our planet.
I'm very sympathetic to your discomfort as a reader, but it seems odd to air it in a subthread that discusses how ~50% of the population can't even be in Antarctica as a worker without experiencing a lot of discomfort.
I can be a bit of an over-optimistic person, but I've always been of the opinion that mass extinction events are always going to occur without intervention and while humans certainly seem to have contributed towards speeding up the timeline heading towards the next extinction event, we're more importantly the only species with potential to mitigate these extinction events all-together.

Without humans extinction events will occur (at least history suggests this is the case). With humans, they might not. For all of our flaws, I think humans are the most beautiful species to come into existence. We have seemingly boundless potential.
This isn't about protection any more than laws against littering are. It's basically a boycott that actually works because it goes through our established system for collective action.
Counterintuitively, shipping that alfalfa overseas is probably better for the environment than shipping it via truck all over the country. So there's that to consider.
As a layperson though, how would I be able to tell whether any of this is true? When I have to target platforms as a software developer, the truth is, I’ll do whatever Microsoft and Apple tell me to. By the time Apple is shipping a RISC-V phone I hope to be retired!
I'm curiously to see whether a big player switches side. Likely not as all big players were probably consulted.
> To put this very directly, Godot is a meme in the commercial games industry.

Yes! I feel the same. As soon as you go beyond toy examples, working in Godot becomes very hard.

And the lack of an asset store is killing it. Sure you can get assets from other sources, but I found you have to do a lot of messing around to get it working properly. While with Unity, all assets work out the box.
The obsession with whether LLMs can out perform classical AI, algorithms, solvers, and other optimizers fascinates me. Intuitively of course they aren’t doing something similar to a solver. They will never play chess better than the best for purpose chess playing system. They will never reason better than a classical reasoning system. That misses the point entirely.

They are a fascinating augmentation to existing capabilities that fills an ability to operate and do some approximation to reason and plan in an abstract semantic space, using natural language in a semantic way, to perform an abductive style of “reasoning” that has alluded us to date. Need to play chess? Use a chess playing system. But you can glue together special purpose systems for planning, reasoning, optimizing, calculating, etc, with an LLM in ways that are much more flexible and adaptable in a real world context than we’ve ever been able to achieve. That’s the magic of them.

The fact they can do pretty alright at some of these tasks is interesting and shows how powerful language is that embedded in its semantic structure is an awful lot of what you need to reason, plan, etc. But beyond the academic question, why would you not just use a provably optimal algorithm for a specific task? Interestingly, given a set of operations in context, LLMs are pretty good at identifying a situation where an operation is applicable and making the API call, and as we learn how to embed them, they’ll be able to defer to and be deferred to more accurately.
You could try speaking with a supplier like AltE Store directly. They'll help you design a system for your use case and you can get a local installer to handle the installation, or DIY. I'm not clear on how the subsidies work with this approach, though, and whether you'd have to go through a local dealer / installer to qualify.
That tomorrow is today, and I’m joining your party. Let’s screw their models!
there's no need to transmit the collected data away from the device. boom! nobody is storing data. it's all local to the device. that's an easy decision to make. you don't even need to collect an ID of any type. this app on this device counted steps. nobody outside of the app on that device needs to know.

transmitting that information to the company servers is a decision that can easily be not made to do, and when it is, you're already at risk. so, why do it?
Oh I’m not talking about desalination of GSL. I’m talking about California doing desalination and not using the Colorado river for water anymore.

If they stopped using water from the Colorado, there would be more water for Utah to take from it.

States up the river use less water in order to leave some for the states down river. So if the states downriver stopped using it, then states upstream could increase their usage.
An open-source project is actually worse for security because the attacker can just read your source and find the exploits.

Assembly is a pain to understand even with the latest disassemblers. Cut that out and you’re cutting out 90% of the work.

Now sure in theory having it open source means good people will find the exploit. But have you ever found an exploit and reported it? Of course not. Only attackers are motivated to put thousands of hours of work into looking for vulnerabilities. Unless you pay someone to actually put the same work in, it being open source is meaningless.
