You may see it as an attack, but I see such comments as essential to address.

If you want more climate action, you need to reduce political opposition to it. Rising food prices due to rising energy costs _will_ cause lots of people to stop caring about the climate.

Activists trying to pretend issues such as this don’t exist is one of the reasons why people distrust climate activists.
Yeah bollocks. Guy Fawkes was attempting to reinstate a monarchy that the people roundly, and almost universally, despised.

I see ads when watching YouTube on my TV, since I have been too lazy to set up a pi hole so far.

To be honest, I don't even mind it that much. At least I have some contact with what's going on out there in the ad space. But I watch 90+% of YT videos on other devices, not the TV.

- You can imagine a situation where Tofu keeps TF DSL compatibility but add useful new features to the runtime (better plan summary, multiple stack deployment, chained deployments, etc). That’s going to put Hashicorp under pressure to move quicker..

- … but Hashicorp publicly pleaded poverty over their development resource on TF as the reason they wouldn’t accept community PRs. You can’t just grow a team tenfold overnight. They’ve been quite deliberate about the design of the Terraform language and runtime over the years, taking their time to add new features. It’s going to be interesting !

- The provider situation looks fairly safe to me. Those licenses didn’t change and you can always redirect to github releases for the really popular binaries ?

This is a policy problem, not a tech problem. People need to be paid a living wage, period. The lack of this and the subsidizing of delivery fees by VC money has led people to believe it's somehow sustainable to sit on your lazy ass, order food and have it delivered within 30 min for next to nothing. Or maybe people know that it's not sustainable but just don't give a shit. Greedy corporations and unethical people will always exists, that's why we need better laws.

For a slow protocol like protobufs that is rarely streamed, I agree a length prefix should be the default

One way to make streaming work is just to allow the length value to be bigger than needed and add a padding scheme at the end of the message. This is overhead free in terms of processing time since fields must be decoded sequentially anyway.

I’m currently building something that touches on point 4, the dynamically generated UI. I’m building basically copilot for PMs that integrates with your project planning tool and so far it’s been working like magic. You can literally tell it to output a json and use it like an API.

I think my main jobs are getting the prompts right and building an UI and UX experience that makes sense, and the rest is somehow taken care of by magic.
PHP went through some crazy performance improvements from PHP 5.6 to 7.0, in some cases running twice as fast.

I have a similar story - a local strip mall allows parking for 2 hours, no return within 4 hours.

They enforce this with ANPR cameras - only - sometimes you're inching out of the strip mall and bumper to bumper ... so it doesn't register you leaving.

Got a ticket, but luckily my Nest camera showed the time I returned, and the time I went back (needed something else) and they were more than 4 hours apart, and I'd only parked there for 20 minutes each time. Ticket was waived.
So, what's the performance of BG3 in Act 3, in streaming?

I had an unfortunate incident of my GPU going kaputt this summer, and while waiting for the warranty repair I tried playing games on an older machine. But not that old, at the onset of lockdown it was considered new. And on that rig, BG3 suffered even in Act 1. The game after a few minutes would go from nice 45+ FPS on ultra to 10-15 on lowest graphics settings, staying in that slow mode for up to hours. It wasn't correlated with GPU temperature, or fixable by some weird setting.

I wasn't aware of GeForce Now. Maybe I would shell out a few bucks. Assuming the savegames would be transferred eventually to my gaming PC with GPU replaced. There, BG3 works fine in Act 3 (except for crashing in one area, fortunately it's a side-quest that can be skipped).

Seems to me a software bug, and I suspect owners of rigs in between encounter it only in Act 3.

Avoiding such horror stories could be an incentive to use streaming, even though GeForce Forge doesn't seem to have a free tier the same way Stadia did, it might make for it in other aspects. (it has a free tier however for 1 hour daily, and right now I have 52 gamers ahead of me waitlisting. I'm curious about BG3 performance there, so I'll wait it out)

There is no being caught :( Who is going to do the catching, exactly? There's no science police. Universities don't seem to care about anything except plagiarism.

Many papers aren't even "looks legit but doesn't replicate", they are self-evidently wrong just from reading them or the associated data. Just peer review done properly would solve that, but the problem is widespread because there's no real incentive to rock the boat. Once a bad technique or invalid approach gets through to publication a few times it becomes a new standard within the field because it lets people publish more papers.

It literally means an output we don't like. It's the antithesis of well defined.
Some of those things were tried already. Some peer reviews are public, I've read them. Data and code are sometimes published too.

It doesn't help. It just means outsiders get to read bad peer reviews and bad code, but the right people within the system don't actually care. There's no way for the public to hold anyone to account, science is a law unto itself because politicians are generally not scientifically minded. They can be easily bullied with technobabble. The few that aren't susceptible to this don't tend to rise to the top.

LOL, in person passport verification, really? No thanks. And even if that would be OK, where and when?

The bullet points suggest that there is no sensible way for a foreigner to pay in India so I just won't go to India. That said, paying cash is probably an experience not as bad as depicted. I've been to countries were the only option was bringing local currency either from home or from an exchange counter in the capital. Not much can be worse than that.
There's actually a somewhat curious detail about this - Unity doesn't allow you to remove the Unity logo when using the free (Personal IIRC) license for your game. This has led to people sometimes associating Unity with bad games, because if a game shows a Unity logo it's probably not the highest quality, especially considering all the asset-flip games. There's a lot of big Unity games whose developers obviously paid for the engine, so you either see the studio's logo or just a loading screen.
Firefox still supports it - there are even pending patches for animation support. Unless it has recently changed, it’s only available on nightly builds + a preference toggle.

This attitude won't help you stop wars from happening, though. You can hope it won't happen, know it's a waste and still expect any technology to be evaluated for usefullnes in warfare, be it trade, cyberspace or plain old kinetic conflicts. Thinking otherwise is irrational.
The drones are winged, so they don't produce nearly as much noise as their VTOL counterparts.

Safety will have to be engineered into these things(if it's not already) because it's enough for one high-profile accident to make the public lose trust and vote for banning them. The story is very much like with fully autonomous vehicles.

> Is TruffleRuby compitable with Rails?

Rails proper, yes. Small rails app are generally drop-in compatible, but sizeable applications are likely to run in a few compatibility issues as most gems aren't tested against TruffleRuby.

> I wonder how much TruffleRuby would improve the performance and memory footprint.

The generally speaking Truffle is much faster at "peak" performance, but take very long to get there which makes it challenging to deploy.

It also uses way more memory, but it's partially offset by the fact that it doesn't have a GVL, so you get parallel execution with threads.
[2017]

TLDR:

>About 45 million Americans were age 65 and older in 2013, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

>Spreng and his team evaluated 13 older adults who had been robbed by family members or neighbors, or scammed online or by phone. The researchers compared that group to 13 peers who’d been exposed to a potentially exploitative scheme, but recognized and avoided it.

>Larger studies are needed to confirm these findings and perhaps identify markers -- both biological and behavioral -- to identify who’s most at risk of scams, Spreng said.

I understand that studies cost money, but deriving anything from a study on 13+13=26 people seems to me a bit hasty.

What happened after 2017?
On a broader protocol level, it's just a case of "unexpected moderation pitfalls". Matrix is far more decentralized than even something like the fediverse is, which comes with a couple of issues for public servers. They're not really technical issues but social ones.

If we get down to brass tacks: things like how it's technically impossible to forcibly disband a room unless all parties agree to it/are manually kicked beforehand jump to mind as an issue that's not fundamentally broken per-se but is an example of "wait, that is supposed to work like that?".

Other than that, multi-room moderation is a total crapshoot. I've tried it, it just was a mess. You end up trying to plug in a moderation bot like Mjolnir onto your server and need to do the moderation through it instead of native clients. With the most common model for chats nowadays being closer to the discord model (where a subject might have many channels as opposed to the 2 or 3 you get on IRC), this isn't really workable.

Generally speaking, matrix doesn't seem to like many channel setups very well - there's been two attempts so far from what I can tell to solve it, but both just result in attempting to bolt existing channels into a "discord guild"-esque system with optional joining like it's an IRC channel list, which isn't how most people expect that to work. This is mostly a UX thing though - I imagine someone could write a client that just assumes the solutions on this in a better way.

The rest of it just amounts to some variant on "Element sucks" (which since it's the "main" client, makes it the most used one). The easiest example I can think of is that you need to use a GitHub PWA or send manual curl commands to say, set a server ACL on a channel or take server moderation actions on one of your users is absurd/unacceptable if you want to run a public service.

The main reason I call it fundamentally broken is because a lot of these issues seem to have been there for several years and the priority doesn't quite seem there to make the experience of using Matrix easier. Element lacking good moderation components for example is something I've noticed for years on end and updates never seem focused on improving any of it.

Sorry if this is all a bit disparate in terms of complaints/haphazard complaining about Element - they mostly come from running Synapse since ~2019 (+Element, back when it was still Riot) and in my experience updates to it never seem to have addressed many of the pitfalls/unexpected behavior that Matrix runs into compared to other chat apps I've used over the years.
> it's a public safety issue.

Absolutely not. The cases for repairs vastly outnumber the cases for theft to a degree it isn't comparable in the slightest. This should be the basis for any honest discussion.

Not putting that in perspective cannot lead to sensible considerations.

When hand-washing, it's possible to examine the dish or utensil, and scrub harder, let soak, or give a special treatment such as baking soda (tea and coffee stains), ammonia (heavy baked-on grease), oxalic acid ("Barkeeper's Friend") to polish copper or remove some forms of burn, scouring pads (typically plastic, copper or steel wool, may include soap or other chemicals for treating hard-to-remove foods, such as S.O.S or Brillo pads). Dishwashing machine detergent is another option (a little goes a long way, though as the detergent itself dissolves poorly, it's necessary to spread and/or circulate it over dishes where used). Vinegar + baking soda paste is useful for baked-on grease. Chlorine bleach may be used to remove some organic stains or disinfect where needed (this last is rare in my experience), though it should not be combined with ammonia-based products.

Knowing what cleaning treatments work and when they're appropriate is another bit of practical knowledge often lost. There's also knowledge of what chemicals not to use together

It's also possible to pre-soak specific items, either in the sink or by filling them (e.g., pots and pans) and letting them sit on the sink. Many people self-sabotage cleaning by failing to give the cleaning solution time to work, which can be a few seconds for light soiling to hours for chemical stains or baked-on stains.

The automatic dishwasher is also hard on the actual dishes and utensils, in my experience, and tends to pit or damage ceramics, glassware, and stainless-steel or aluminium utensils and pots.

And when washing a large number of items, ironically, filled basins to soap and rinse may use less water than multiple dishwasher loads. Though again, when the difference is measured in single-digit gallons (or up to around 20--40 litres), the overall efficiency savings largely pale against other household water usage (bathing, handwashing, laundry, other food prep, etc.).

Again, I see no reasonable basis for shaming those who prefer hand-washing. Cycle time and efficacy can be markedly better, total water and energy efficiency are comparable. Machine-washing is more consistent over larger populations (given equivalent equipment), though might degrade with age of the machine. It's mostly a ... wash.
It absolutely happens. My friend's father worked for a Canadian nickel mining company that did business in Cuba, and because of this couldn't set foot in the US. Ships that dock in Cuban ports can't then go to US ports. currency exchange, bank accounts, everything is complicated.

It's true the rest of the western world has basically said "f you" to the US about the trade embargo there, but it doesn't mean that it's ineffective. So much of western capitalism is built around the US financial and legal system that it has a huge impact, not to mention the consequences it can have for people traveling, etc.

Perhaps the worst part about the embargo is that it gives the Cuban gov't an excuse for its mediocrity and authoritarian behaviour. Basically all internal problems get blamed on it.

And it has kept the Cuban regime in a hostile place re: the US. Obama made some moves to rectify this, but Trump reversed them and then doubled back down.
> The obvious answer is to just charge market rate for street parking, and there will almost always be a few spots available

So only the rich can drive and park? FWIW, my city charges £6.70/hour for parking and it's still impossible to find a spot.

> To top it off, time limits are so stupid to enforce, as you say. It's easy to enforce meters, or paid parking with plates on a block. "If paid and not in red zone, ok, else, ticket." But instead cities have to come up with these "creative" (read: broken) systems for catching people who park too long.

The limits on parking in many places are to encourage/force other means of transport for work.
Is this your test, just in case? https://ache.one/articles/web-image-formats

I'm not very sure how you have compared the speed. `cjxl -e 9` for example is known to be very slow because it is AFAIK basically `-e 8` with a brute-force parameter search (and I think this level should be hidden in some way for this exact reason, it is very misleading). Also I assume that you have done an end-to-end command line test with relatively small inputs, which might be a major pitfall (because it doesn't only measure the PNG encoder/decoder but also all program invocation time and finalization time, which can be specficially optimized [1]).

Also only relying on a single objective metric might be misleading, and Jon Sneyers (one of JPEG XL devs) has a very good plot that illustrates this [2] and pointed out that actual images have to be also manually reviewed to reduce mistakes. Many comparisons are made against images with similar SSIM scores, but it is unclear if they indeed had similar qualities. And an ideal perceptual metric is not enough, specifics on "taking the AVIF format points as a basis and comparing them with the similarity and similar ratio points" would be necessary to evaluate the test.

[1] For example you can skip `free` on complicated structures because they will be reclaimed by the kernel anyway. Of course this is totally unacceptable for libraries.

[2] https://twitter.com/jonsneyers/status/1560924579719258113 (The ideal metric should strongly correlate to the human score and should not distort the relative score difference. Most metrics---except for SSIMULACRA 2 which specifically being developed with this dataset---are bad at both.)
