The 'fugue state' seems very unlikely to me. I'd guess that Agatha had some plot against her husband, and then used that as an excuse when things didn't go as planned.

What the plot was though, I have no idea. It looks like she was framing him for her murder, but that would involve her going missing permanently. Which is both a big sacrifice and very hard to pull off when you are Agatha Christie.
I wonder - does Australia mandate that?
Based on these lines:

> The seller texted Ms Khoo on WhatsApp and instructed her to download a third-party app called Grab&Go on her phone. The app prompted her to make a $5 payment through PayNow as a “deposit” before her order could be placed, but she asked if she could pay when her order arrived.

> The seller reassured her that he did not need her banking details and asked her to enter her name, address and phone number on the app to check out her purchase.

My guess would be the payment information combined with the personal information (and using that personal information to get more personal information online) was just enough to call the bank and impersonate her.

The app eating CPU and battery is definitely a red herring, even with a vulnerability that let it directly get at banking details there's no reason for it to do that. Probably just badly written.
They actually have a performance edge, but they aren't well suited to chat models because you can't do caching of past states like with decoder-only models

I could care less if he plays whatever song. Oftentimes a set list depends on what you’ve been rehearsing. But he chose to play it with an attitude according to the commenter. Thats what I think is the poor behavior. People aren’t paying a ton of money to see him act like that.
> Blue is one of the rarest colors to appear in nature, which makes blue coloration in animals particularly fascinating.

Now hold on just a minute. The sky. The ocean. Glaciers. Even human eyes. Blue is so common "in nature" that the Earth, viewed from Mars, looks like a blue glass marble. https://www.universetoday.com/14446/photos-of-earth-from-mar...

Blue coloration in plants and animals is admittedly uncommon, but it's far from unusual. Animals tend to cluster around earth-toned colorways, and bright reds and greens are just as uncommon as blue.
I agree with all of this, for sure, and I look forward to the situation changing. And I hope when it does, it does so in a way where the system has more than just Git as an SCM option.

I had hopes for bitbucket for a while, but it stagnated, and then Atlassian got their mitts on it.
We get these kind of comparisons since almost 15 years, even though it was for long obvious that it is never about quality - DSLRs will still take the lead for a long time - but what device you will carry. This was true the same way for the N95, iPhone 3GS or Galaxy S3.
I’ve been to low or no tipping countries like France and Brazil and the service is incredibly bad. Coming back to the states is a breath of fresh quality service air.
Thanks for sharing, this is cool to see. Do you use electron to wrap an Imba app for desktop?
Photography has gone through the roof in the last fifteen years due to camera phones, sure, but the overall market has increased too. I was at Photopia two days ago and I’ve not seen a better market for photography since the 1980s. Camera phones are simply the new point and shoot, taking their place at the bottom end or convenience end of the market, and many of those people enjoying using those cameras have a great route into photography.
I think a society has to have a certain level of overall, widely-distributed, wealth for people to be willing to pay for the general protections from those sorts of regulations. The money to reimburse consumers doesn't come out of the air, it's a sort of ambient tax on people/the system in general that people are willing to pay since it's not that relatively large compared to the mean income/spending of people using the credit card system.

Unless he had made this clear beforehand - and apparently he had not - then the audience can justifiably feel that there had been an element of bait-and-switch to the performance. (I suppose you could argue that churlishly and begrudgingly performing that which had induced the audience to pay him for recorded and live performances in the first place was part of Reed's public persona!)
PostgreSQL is the very best of the clunky 80s unix software. Its features and reliability are unmatched. The core contributors have earned the trust of the community.

You lose a lot of features and performance when you go from a single server database to a distributed system. Distributed systems are significantly more complex to set up, administer, and debug. For nearly all databases in use, the tradeoff isn't worth it.

It's really no wonder that postgresql is as popular as it is.
Sadly, the banking apps always require new and up-to-date phones (for security reasons), yet most phones have a limited lifetime from a security pov, so you'd have to keep buying a new second phone.
Pardon my lang, but it’s about #%!#ing time.

Profits over people have given us a lot as a society and I say that as a beneficiary of it as someone living in the states. I think it need to evolve to sustainable profit along with people, community and planet. We can’t and should not get rid of profit. But we need to preserve it by evolving.

Tipping wages keep things artificially low and sustain a system in which a certain class of people are perpetually exploited. I for one, as a resident of US can’t wait for it this to go away.
I have the feeling this might be a video were she gives more of some type of overview with her view without imposing a too strong opinion.

Most restaurants use microwaves. They may not use it to prepare the entire dish (that’s reserved for mass-market faux-nice places like Red Lobster), but it’s a standard piece of commercial kitchen equipment. Reheating frozen soups, for example, usually starts with a quick zap to get the process going.
>Legislation can be written so that there is no bypass.

It cant for existing profitable business models. You couldnt ban the google owned nuclear SLBM fleet if it already existed and represent the most profitable sector of the economy. Inertia exists and the more profitable the topics the harder it is to break from a central position. It would be economic suicide on a national level.

You would get some paper tiger checks and balances entrenching googles nuclear fleet monopoly.
Sad to see it go down so soon. Won't be the same.

One feature request to think about if it doesn't exist: defining multiline functions right at the prompt, which you later export to a .py file. So I think a decent inline editor with support for arrow keys might be useful. https://www.marceltheshell.org/functions-1

This is not a showstopper obviously. The current 'import' functionality should be enough for me for now.

Why inline vs. shelling out a dedicated editor: because replacing the screen will take me out of flow because I frequently refer to previous commands' output on the terminal when constructing/editing the next command.
How is a screen capture tool largely useless? Have you not ever taken screenshots yourself or at least read documentation that relies on screenshots? What a ridiculous take.

It's not exactly a new concept either. Look at the office Snagit from 1990 built: https://www.msufoundation.org/techsmith-hq and keep on going about "this era".
What do you think we should do, other than "tolerate" it? Should we go back to the era of illegal numbers?
In other news water is wet. This has been an issue for decades at this point. Letting random third parties exacute arbitrary code on your computer is a bad idea.

> You only need a few minutes of thought to understand why electric vehicles will never be able to replace internal combustion engines as things stand today.

Well, no, you absolutely need some data, axioms, or facts to support your thoughts, too. Pure thought only works for mathematics and some areas of philosophy.

So, please - what are some of the facts from which that few minutes thought would proceed? Is it the case that there is a hard upper-limit on the range (imposed by constraints in battery technology), or that some road surfaces are unsuitable for EVs, or that electric engines are unsuitable for some chassis types (e.g. heavy haulage), or...?
It’s just worms; not my dying youth.
Yeah power tabs and guitar pro often have this coupled. I’d guess though most people viewing tabs are looking at the plain texts on ultimate guitar though. It doesn’t help that for a lot of music there is no official tab, only what the community has been able to make for the good of the community. Sometimes also those ‘official’ tab books are not correct to the recording.
Can you cite numbers for that claim?
Apple would say ‘Apple Watch’, with a real camera it gets called a ‘remote shutter release’ or similar based on a quick search.
But the TSA presumably already has a way to tell whether a liquid is an explosive—and it doesn't involve fish.

The TSA allows for breast milk and "toddler drinks" to be brought on board, with or without children present.

They also allow contact lens solution, liquid medication, and, during covid-19, hand sanitizer (an accelerant!).
My parents have always had the policy of, "if I didn't call you, I don't want it."

The algo is still memory hard, but it is no longer ETH's algo. I agree with everything you're saying, so it seems I just got tripped up on semantics.
What a flippant attitude.

Most Americans think tipping is undermining regulation and authority of the government to regulate, and should be a banned practice, but the rich keep fighting the majority on the issue.

We don't want a tipping culture, this was done to us.
LLM has no long term memory(limited by context size or you have to do fine tuning which isnt efficient) and can't interact with the outside world.

You can augment it with retrieval systems(vector store, graph db, sql db + lexical/semantic/graph search) and give it access to tools like api, search engine and code interpreter. Then it becomes an agent.
If it only took a few minutes, perhaps you could take a few more minutes and enlighten the rest of us. As it sits this comment adds nothing.
Did you try getting your government to prosecute those scammers? I'm always confused by Americans inventing 100 different software ways to try to lockout people from their devices for "security", but noone wonders why exactly this kind of egregious scammage isn't actually punished and money retured?
Most of the time you have one window per app.

I'm glad you found it cute and enjoyable! I completely agree their behaviors need a lot more love, but I am ready to give it! :)

The actions of the workers are just probabilistic for now - they lack any true motivation.

The queen ant has an instinctual goal of creating a sufficiently spacious nest that is sufficiently deep underground. When she achieves that goal, she stops movement and begins giving birth to ants. Those ants then dig out the nest further.

I am trying to figure out how to make the digging more... inspired? Something like "If ants keep finding themselves surrounded by other ants underground then they need more space and should consider digging" or "If an ant fails to find a place to put food then it should consider digging"

I think that both of these things have a prerequisite of having tunnels/chambers built more effectively, though. I've played around with some rules like "Don't dig dirt if there is air on the opposite side of the dirt" in an attempt to prevent the nest from turning into a giant pit, but this doesn't result in tunnels and chambers, just delays the inevitable pit-like behavior.

In the future, there will be an "outer world" which has the more classic "ant follow pheromone trails to find food" mechanism. You'll see ants disappear out the sides of this view and see them explore from a top-down view. The outer world will get covered in fog each night and push all the ants back to their nest for sleeping and eating. Just trying to get to the point where they sensibly store food before expanding into that.

.. and if that was more info than you were looking for, sorry :D Just excited to talk about my thing.

Well, you'll find it hard to argue with people if you let your philosophical beliefs get in the way of finding common ground. Many people don't agree that "innocent until proven guilty" does not (philosophically) apply to corporations.
The service is what it is because the restaurants haven't offloaded paying the staff directly onto the customer. A restaurant owner in the US doesn't care if 1, 25, or 50 servers are on duty. They pay almost nothing for them to be there. A french restaurant is staffed just like a retail store. Just enough staff to provide minimal to adequate coverage and nothing more. Because the owner eats the cost not the server.

He is person on salary in oracle, which is not top tier tech company.
There are tons of virtual threads like frameworks were implemented in JVM and in other languages, looking at his github profile he has 5 years experience in working on this thread stuff, before that he worked on some bloated j2ee stuff, all of these doesn't qualify for some unconditional authority, so I judge him base on his expertise demonstrated in this discussion, which looks very weak.
So what is the most interesting part of your story?
> If they were capable of doing actually productive tasks, they would get a job somewhere other than the TSA

This statement seems bonkers to me. People work at the TSA because they need money. Anybody who can hold down a job at the TSA would be entirely capable of doing many productive tasks that may not be remunerative, such as child care, elder care, care for the disabled, any number of home/landscape maintenance tasks, home construction, etc. Not to mention all of the activities that people do to add value to their lives and those around them: contributing the community, making art/music, etc.
I would like to see an analysis of this third party Android app the victim downloaded.

It seems like the creators of this malicious app found a way to break out of the app sandbox [1] and obtain root access. From there getting access to other apps was trivial. Why the Hong Kong bank fraud detection did not block these transactions or freeze the account for suspicious activity is another issue.

I think Google should reach out here and get more information. Perhaps give this woman a lifeline. Something like this shouldn’t be possible.

I think the OP implies that she should not be allowed to control her own phone to the point where she can't do that - more corporate control and more corporate baby sitting.
Wages will adjust such that restaurant workers make roughly the same amount that they would have with tips, except for one critical thing: they'll be more reliably taxed because their wages will be reported by their employers on their W-2s instead of part of their wages potentially being received as cash.

I am convinced this is the real reason that there is suddenly a push to end tipping culture in the US. The tax man wants his.

Anyone that understands economics understands that the overall effect of ending tipping will have very little real effect on wages. All it does is give employers and tax collectors more power over these low wage earners.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

i could see this as a lead to the bot being "deputized" to the effect of turning vandalism vs property, into assault on officer.

at 420 pounds this bot had better move slow, and have excellent collision avoidance.

it looks a lot like beatcop with a drone on foot patrol, except the 9$/hour leasing. thats way cheaper than an actual cop. i wonder what the union would think about loosing the special patrol gig to a bot for cheaper.
You can bring up the dock temporarily in full screen windows.

It's insane that internship is legal in the US. Minimum wage is the bare minimum.

>If anything its showing disrespect towards his fans who pay for his life.

If anything, fans who don't know that Lou Reed wouldn't be too keen on mining his past aren't the strongest fans and the attitude they demonstrate can also be deemed disrespectful.

>Its not like this is some new concept with the job of professional musician on tour, its part and parcel.

A professional musician's job is to make music that they want to make, full stop. What you're describing - bucking up, putting on a smile and doing as your fans demand - crosses into entertainer/star territory. Lou was a musician first, and an entertainer/star last. That, too, is not a new concept. I have to fault the audience for showing up expecting someone to be something that they clearly are not and never were.
