I asked what was being done to automate this so that we wouldn't backslide.

I received no response.

That said, I think that work is fascinating. I have an intern starting Monday that's going to start research into automating this.

I had a similar experience:

- My wife had cloud sync on her iPhone for Notes

- I thought: "we probably don't need that" so turned it off for her

- She turns on her phone and goes "Where are all of my notes?? What did you do?"

- I break out in a cold sweat

- I remember we had an iPad that also had the sync'ed Notes app

- I open that up and immediately turn off WiFi to "save" the Notes

- We call Apple

- The support person ended up figuring out that we could essentially copy and paste each Note to a new folder so they wouldn't be wiped out.

It was a stressful couple hours though while we worked through it. I would also say that Apple could have given some more warning/pop ups of the full impact of this.

PS I also learned that Apple techs can essentially "VNC" into your phone and view things, change settings etc. They ask for permission and I think I may have had to hit "approve" but this is a feature I didn't even think about it till I saw it in action.
One night, after a particularly bad thunderstorm, our phone lines started picking up an AM radio station before you placed a call. My parents swore up and down somebody had left a phone out of the receiver and after unplugging every station in the house, we realized the problem. Now I can still pick up that same radio station if I hold the male end of a cable plugged into a guitar amp. At least the station plays decent music!
On the idea of interpreting the weights, I've been very interested if it's possible to compute basis vectors of the weights matrix to define the core concepts within the model and then do a change of basis to allow reorganizing the model to more human understood concepts?

I think the inherent compression of a specific training set into a matrix makes this more difficult cause the basis vectors likely won't contain clean representations of human ideas, but I also wonder if starting a new training set with an initialized (or fixed) matrix of human defined concepts would help align the model's weights to something that can be interpretable
A staple of the whole system is tax avoidance. It feels good to have that cash free and clear.

For quite some time restaurants have assessed the claim amount based on a percentage of the bills paid by cash taken from the tip average on charged payments.

Basically, servers rarely have agency over how much they claim in tips. Only if they score far above average tips can they escape any meaningful taxes.

Often they just feel like they are making out better because they didn't get assessed as much as they were tipped. People are not good at math.

It's clear to me that tipping needs to go away and the restaurant industry needs to retract to a profitable number of participants.

Like trucking and other low margin businesses, there is too much worker abuse because it's the only avenue to profit.
> Duplicating a painting has a huge overhead.

Duplicates don't sell. This is very similar in crypto - if you duplicate an existing blockchain, its block space doesn't sell. Art - and blockchains - sell because they are original, liquid, come with durable social proof, and have resale prospects and/or utility (real or perceived).

> Thousands of computers are doing the same thing, repeating the same calculations and therefore not improving capacity in any way.

I think I get what you're saying - if a blockchain were able to run on a single computer, then gas would be very cheap because each calculation would only need to be run once.

Current blockchain protocols, of course, do not work like that. So if I might try to paraphrase your argument about overhead, it boils down to "if blockchains did not work the way they do, then gas costs would be cheaper." Which I can't really argue with.
I think your concerns are correct. I realize expecting everything to fit into a favorite IDE is a bit much, but anecdotally it helps me a lot in a new or rarely used language. Assists, muscle memory finding things, autocomplete, etc. really add up in potential benefits to both productivity and correctness of what you write. This is even better when libraries are standardized.

I know I lean on Pycharm hard these days, as I don't use python as much as I used to. It really helps to guide me along and spend less time getting caught in details. Everything, including the interpreter, just works.
Yes a million times. But it's not even just iCloud -- it's something fundamental to so much Apple software.

The same thing happens to me repeatedly when I'm highlighting PDF's using Books -- every so often, I go back to a PDF and discover multiple pages of my most recent highlights are missing. It saves highlights as you go along, but sometimes for whatever mystery reason, it decides that the version of your PDF from 11:35 is the newest main one, not the one from 11:45.

These problems, of Apple silently overwriting newer content with an older version, have been going on for at least a decade at this point.

And I just don't understand how such a fatal flaw was ever built into the system in the first place, and how it still hasn't been fixed.
For people who work in defense, strangers randomly talking to them is always a sticky point.

On the other hand, I’ve seen not an insignificant number of cases where someone overstepped a boundary by forcing a conversation on someone who was clearly not into it. I think it’s ok to try, but given the context, cultural differences, legal requirement to stay in your assigned seat, it might be easy to get confused about consent.
I find a good book or movie makes the plane ride feel shorter. Talking to the person next to me so often ends up in an awkward situation when the conversation becomes tedious and boring, but it would be rude to just stop talking to them and move on to my book.

If I dont start talking to the person, I don’t have that problem.
Is there still a connect-4 game somewhere in a games room?
You appear to have defined a universal practice as "capitalism", a person in a commune walks to a field, they "risk capital" (their very person) as they could be killed en route. Everytime you plant a crop (build a factory, launch a satellite, write a program,...) you risk capital in hopes of future gains, I'm struggling to see how a human society can proceed without doing that.

In short, your definition of capitalism seems extraordinarily deficient.

To attempt to get a little closer:

Capitalism is the funding of an activity by people who are otherwise uninvolved in order to take some of the gains without direct application of work/effort.

Society could collaboratively endorse actions, eg through democratic choices, but instead those who have inherited power, acquired through past violence, get to decide on the application of resources and cream off the benefits of the workers whom they have used to action their (the Capitalists) chosen activities.

Many actions (in a just society) would have been chosen in any case, things like delivery of water to each person; now the Capitalist gets to make delivery of water something for which they claim the right to profit from, ultimately extracting worth from the inherent nature of people's needs.
Well, one comment at the root was flagged and the thread was deleted, so hopefully I can reply to you here, plus you were starting to replying to another guy you thought he was me.

My answer was: "Gender-affirming care and gender transition (as the results on Google will call it if you accidentally search "sex transition"), none of this changes your sex, most mammals (including humans) have the XY sex determination system, taking estrogens or other hormones doesn't make you lose your Y and gain an extra X, nor does it make you start producing ova, the only difference is how you look and sound, which (hopefully) makes you more comfortable with your gender, and that's why it's called "gender-affirming care" and "gender transition"."
A long time ago I had a junior developer store the internal storage used by Docker on iCloud Drive. He then suffered multiple weird file version issues inside the containerized app inside Docker before he stopped doing that.

If you care about that, no provider is really safe (not everyone will copy LavaBit and close the business in response to being ordered to secretly reveal keys or otherwise allow snooping); however you can still make sure the thing being synchronised is an encrypted disk image or whatever.
Yes 30% is a lot, but valve does a lot more than apple imo. Games are a lot larger so bandwidth costs are much higher, they don't charge for in-game transactions, you get free cloud storage for saves, free mod hosting, good multiplayer functionality and much more.

Apple gives you less features, has a lot more restrictions and is pretty annoying to deal with
I have a 655MB file with 1.5 million lines of lorem ipsum. I timed a cat in several terminal emulators. For this simple test, gnome-terminal beat xterm a little bit but wasn't anywhere close to the rest:

Yep. Laws themselves are not barriers to protect victims, they're guidelines for abusers to follow. They're often written by abusers.

The cameras are abused through "crybullying," where you covertly antagonize someone into punching you, then you go crying to the teacher. The tapes indict your victim.

Not so long ago, I was having my first cup of coffee in a hotel restaurant. A woman sat down directly across from me and started off with how nice it was to have someone to chat with.

Um. No. I was polite, but...no. I had no interest in learning who she was, why she was there, or what she did for a living. I heard all of that anyway. Look, I haven't put on my social facade yet and I am not interested.

You're next to me on the train? I have zero interest in talking to you.

If "almost every restaurant microwaves" in one's area, they should probably move to a better area.

Though I'm not sure what you call a restaurant. Does it include fast food "restaurants" for example? Or some 2x-3x the local price tourist trap in places like Barcelona, Rome, Amsterdam, Paris (say, Montmartre) or the Greek isles?
This was my question coming into comments:

Do schools try to mandate installation on personal devices? This extends beyond school supplied devices? Do they have any way to actually enforce compliance if so?

I would never install any software from the schools on my kids device. Never. That doesn’t mean I don’t surveil her use - I most certainly do, and she has no privacy. But she also needs no secrecy from me, I am her protector but not her manager.

I’ve decided to forgo the public school system for many reasons despite being a huge advocate of public education. It’s become a battle ground of control by bureaucrats and ideologues, with a subtext of a police state and pre-criminalization.

But as such I’d love to hear anecdotal stories since I’m unaware of the experiences folks are having.
She's taken a weird and disturbing turn lately. She did a few videos about transgender and other lgbtq related topics. And well she had some seriously disappointing and eronious views on the subject. And was mostly regurgitatimg anti trans, terf talking points.

It's sad and disappointing thatnshe has started using her credibility in one field to make propogandaish videos on other subject she either ignores or is lying to profit off the terf grift.

It takes away from her well earned credibility in her field of expertise.
I totally agree with negative reception! It means that people give enough of a shit to feel about your product. Which means that with more development - either in product or in market - you’ll find people who love what you made.
The cultural differences about this are vast even in the United States. In the part of the Midwest where I grew up, strangers would come up and offer compliments about your outfit or car, make friendly small talk in the grocery store checkout line, or at least offer a quiet "hi" and smile when passing on the sidewalk. In the Pacific Northwest, we try not to even look at each other when passing, although people are friendly when something does get us talking.
Its still gone up from the original price to £95 a year though, removing features now, such as ad-free video, doesn't come with a discount. In fact there is no option to totally opt out of video and pay less tha £95.

There is absolutely no obligation, especially if you're specifically touring to showcase new work.

And two can play this game: it is not-so-tacit, but very "well-understood" that some artists don't enjoy playing old hits. Insisting on it on the grounds of ignorance (by reducing an artists to one or two of their biggest hits, as another poster said) or in the grounds of "but I wanted to hear it" is more disrespectful than what you're complaining of.
What exactly does pushing back on this issue look like? What are the conversations you need to have along the way? Did you ever seek legal guidance, or were in a position where legal counsel would have been useful?

Japanese property is famously cheap for being small, but other factor is land being a 30 year lease. Build same size + on land you buy and it will be more expensive despite efficiencies of large domestic market.
Then give the encryption key to a few people, there is at least 1 person you trust not to lose it?
So unless you have 3-5+ of towers in every area what prevents the company which owns them from charging whatever it wants? As pong as that whatever is less than the cost of building a tower yourself?

It makes about as much sense as having multiple competing rail networks or power lines, the more tower there are the higher overall cost per user.
And I am sure a future study might also say : one risk factor for healthy and long life is reading about various health risks and worrying about them all the time :)

You have to get specific if you want to convince anyone.
Hi, original author here. The problem is not the lack of a backup. The problem is that the content deletion happens silently. So you won't know that you need to restore from your backup because you don't expect the content of your file to disappear. And over time your correct backups are deleted and the only ones left are those with the missing content.
TERF is a slur, albeit one that's probably welcome on HN.

Instagram has a frustration loop. I know that, because it is triggered on my account: for every action I take, no matter how minor, it makes me log in again. Every link I click, everything I do, I get to make a detour through the login screen.

It started with "suspicious activity detected on your account", followed by "your account has been disabled", and while it won't state the actual reason for this, the only realistic reason listed in their official rules would be that I posted something that offended someone.

There is one problem with this explanation though: I never posted _anything_. I follow a few people, that's all I do on instagram. So I filled in codes, sent them photos of myself, and eventually received access to the account again - but now it makes me log in again for absolutely everything I do. I can't believe they would do this by accident, or that it would be a bug. Clearly they identified me as a miscreant, and while they couldn't get enough evidence for an execution, they can sure as hell punish me for whatever misdeeds they imagine I committed.

I suspect what caused the problem was that occasionally you come across links to pictures on instagram. Apparently following those is suspicious enough that it warrants triggering a frustration-experience. Of course, being part of Meta also means that if they decide to shut down my instagram for good, I'll also lose access to my Facebook account, which I use to communicate with a few faraway friends.

Of course the world moved on from Facebook, and everybody is now on Instagram. I suppose I would be as well - if only it let me...
What do you mean by updated scheduler? Task Scheduler? It looks the same as it did in the older Windows to me.

I love WSL but what does it do that cygwin didn't? I guess let you use the distro directly including package manager. But a VM can do that. And WSL2 is just Hyper-V virtualization, that's all it is.

So it's nothing really new here, if you want this on Windows 7, then just install Virtualbox/Hyper-V/whatever, create a Ubuntu VM (with shared folders), configure it to launch at Windows startup, and create a launcher shortcut to SSH into it.

> An interesting example is one of her two videos on transgenderism. It had an absolutely appalling both-sidesing intro that literally called people who crazy who are just concerned about suicide rates among trans people.

This was what she actually said in the introduction to that video:

"Should transgender teens transition? This rather personal question occupies a prominent place in the American culture war. One the one side you have people claiming that it’s a socially contagious fad among the brainwashed woke who want to mutilate your innocent children. On the other side there are those saying that it’s saving the lives of minorities who’ve been forced to stay in the closet for too long. And then there are normal people, like you and I, who think both sides are crazy and could someone please summarise the facts in simple words, which is what I’m here for. So what’s going on?"

What's objectionable about that? Sounds quite fair to me.

I'm no longer interested in smartphone photography where everything is tuned to appeal to the lowest common denominator.

Not that I go around bragging about it but my introduction to adult erotica of various sorts was through a school computer connected to the internet. I was eventually caught after 4 years, and the consequence was my access was turned off. No one told my parents, no disciplinary issues, no police, nothing. Not the best judgement in my life, but the consequences were appropriate. Now I can’t imagine how it would have gone.
It's not grandstanding, I only brought up social life because someone mentioned social isolation from remote work. That is a real problem and I can empathize with it, but the solution isn't forcing RTO on co-workers to force them to hang out with you.

Gitness actually launched in 2012 under the name Drone, with a focus on continuous integration. So Gitness has a very strong, mature pipeline engine that is also very popular in the Gogs and Gitea community (Gitness is backward compatible with any Drone yaml). Of course, this is just our initial launch which is a very important milestone, but we have a lot of feature gaps and a lot of work to do to make our Code Hosting solution a more interesting replacement. Stay tuned.

Edit: if you have feature requests, let us know!
