Try interpreting them based on just the published standards, see how far that gets you.
Megacide isn't a word. Yes, and I don't appreciate being patronized. I should've used the world concentration camps instead. I did say it was the PG version (Movie rating) to imply minus the mass murders. There was hate crimes, hate speech, Japanese not being allowed in certain businesses and the camps which were Nazi like (guards on the trains them, big fence like the Nazi camps).

I feel like I'm a Westworld episode, because there's the predictable snarky dismissive comments, and somehow eugenics was brought up.
Not so reasonable. A load with a decent but not crazy number of mods can be 10-15 minutes.
My thought on this, is that a lot of humans plan like they're playing a game they expect to end tomorrow. The wealth stuff feels like people don't want to spend money, because they're afraid they'll fall off the leader board. In a Game Theory sense, that means always choose "backstab", cause "cooperate" might never pan out.

There's also a lot of selfish, and "I want to win" or "I want my sport team to win", and I don't really want to have children (except I want my sport team to win), or pay for anything, or build any infrastructure, or let the other team accomplish anything, cause that's not winning existence. I don't really want to live here, I want to win (and go to the next level). The UK is stilll talking about "leveling up" this and that. So existence has become this terrible place where a lot of people mostly fantasize about existing anywhere else. Cause you can't leave, but you can't stay here.

In a horrible Machiavellian interpretation, I want to score a lot, and keep other people from scoring (gender interactions also obviously have a "scoring" idea).
> How do they plan to measure particle emissions?

Presumably you weigh the tires at the beginning, and then again at the end.
Yet you're the one not contributing to the discussion while someone else provided a much more interesting response to my speculation.
Even more impressive seeing it sweat fuel onto the apron in the afternoon sun for a few hours then engine ignition with Chevy V8 start cart, takeoff followed by low level transonic flyby.

I don't think I ever ate strawberries pre-diet. After that month I went back to eating sugar like normal (but still successfully dieting to lose weight, just abandoning the sugar experiment). The only strawberries I remember ever eating were on some pancakes and covered in syrup, and they were sweet, but the syrup may have influenced that.
Interesting way to look at it; # ppl supporting the retired.
>Fez, for example, had pretty mediocre art.

Are you in the camp that says the creator was an insufferable man that did a lot of damage to the credibility and likeability of indie developers for years to come?

I remember reading about that a while ago and it wasn't until the last 5 or so years that indies got back into magazine covers and such.

Typical HN snarky dismissive comments and as per eugenics was brought up.
As the article says, it's a trend which proceeded Covid, but accelerated under lockdown.

At best, the short term fixes are ameliorative. Free parking and lunch vouchers isn't going to "fix" this problem, and as the article also says (as have others published here) conversion to residential is a mixed bag: it is increadibly costly, major code issues abound, and from sales records has a high failure rate in the market: expectations of value differ.

I tend to think there's a massive listed property trust write down either gone through, overdue or waiting for China to finish falling over. Once the dust settles, the cost of re-development of the city core will differ.

I hang on a forum for city planning [*] regrettably called skyscrapercity.com -Regrettably because in fact, most cities are not skyscrapers and most cities with skyscrapers don't need more of them. I know I am an outlier in this belief in my home town (Brisbane) and it is fantastically difficult to bust through the persisting claims "taller is better" -In short (hah) it isn't always so, and it isn't the vision of the city we want to either work or live in, as this article points out.

It's not covid, it's us. We've been heading here for a long time. We don't like living and working in Canyons. Livable cities have a 15 minute circumference to everything you need including water, parks, shops, and services. They are built on a human scale which typically tops out at 8 to 10 storeys and have a small Central Business District scaled to the commerce needs. A very few world cities need more, and all of them are under significant stress regarding land cost, building cost, and heritage preservation. It is actually rare for WW2 to deliver scale opportunities for rebuilding, as it did in Rotterdam and Tokyo. I don' think proposing large scale bombing of major capital cities is a good planning move.

A decentralized exchange is blaming its cloud provider?
That would indicate an issue - i.e. something we don't want. Just that it's not something where an engineer needs to go and mop up, and in theory would continue to operate correctly indefinitely. I guess correct as in - safe but not necessarily the most desirable behavior
You need a lot of clout to get something like this out. Kubernetes is an example of something in this category, for example. That baby needed to come out of Google to be both fully formed and in the "didn't get fired for choosing" bucket :-).

Speaking of which, why isn't this project delivered as a Helm chart?
Looking forward to reading this, thanks for putting it on my radar.

In terms of income, we all outperform Soros and the like, who have 0 income.
AutoGPT isn't remotely usable for practical enterprise software purposes right now.
The idea of non-custodial bridges runs straight into the oracle problem.

How does the smart contract on one blockchain know the state of the smart contract on the other blockchain.

One common workaround is to make the miners/validators of the trading blockchain cross-validate transaction on the other blockchains. But that's inherently one-way, the smart contracts on the other blockchains have no true visibility into the trading blockchain.

It's still impossible to get 100% right. You still have a massive surface area for bugs and exploits. And even if it's free of exploits, people forget that blockchains are only "eventually consistent". Just because escrow validated that the two blockchains were constant at the time of the cross-chain swap doesn't guarantee both blockchains have reached their final consistent state. This will eventually result in the two blockchains getting out of sync. I've seen smaller blockchains do re-orgs over a week worth of blocks.

Finally, many popular blockchains don't even have powerful enough smart contracts to even implement a bridge contract (bitcoin certainly doesn't).
I wish we stopped equating too 1% incomes with “the top 1%”. People in the top 1% of wealth are much better off than those in the top 1% of income - at a typical “safe withdrawal” rate and the much lower (and avoidable) marginal capital gains taxes vs income taxes, they can take home almost as much after taxes as a top1%-by-income family, if not more, without doing any work at all.

Wealth is also a much more durable measure than income, as very high incomes for many people don’t happen until mid or late career, or they may be one-offs (like from an IPO).

You can be in the top 1% of CA as eg a dual income family in South Bay both working lowish status roles like “senior/staff engineer” or “line manager”. That’s solidly upper middle class in practice until they accumulate wealth. There’s a world of difference between that and how a family with $15m in assets can live
Thank you for the correction. I have been referring to them as Passkeys.
Yes, until about 1995, a new laser printer could have a more powerful CPU and more RAM than a fairly common (even new) office computer driving it. That stopped at about Pentium 100 speed and 6 MB of RAM because normal use cases didn't need more than that.
They are also the primary cause of microplastics pollution.

Anyway, I find it ridiculous that they don't limit the speed more, when speed is the primary factor behind unnecessary emissions and tyre wear.
For anyone who lives in a city... I'd suggest getting an air filter - any pollen/HEPA filter will do a good job of de-dusting your house. Just a $20 unit from Amazon will do - put it in a hallway and it will get most of your house air as long as you don't keep external windows wide open.

As well as keeping your indoor air cleaner, you'll also find that you have to clean dust off surfaces less frequently. I suspect there are big health benefits too, but can't prove that.

After a few months, the filter turns from white to dark grey, but I've found it keeps working for even years after that - you would expect it to get full and get blocked, but I guess tiny particles take a real long time to block it.
This is way, way beyond charging royalties. Nobody has been upset about existing royalty models.
Everyone serious about the outdoors probably does, but lots of more casual people don't. I'm assuming that's how a lot people get lost, because the casual people suddenly decide to try something out of their skill level without knowing it's out of their skill level, because GPS has always hidden their lack of skill.

I don't think just buying a map and compass is a guarantee, for the casual people who don't know what they're doing, and the military has entire navigation classes, seems like it's a real nontrivial skill that you have to actually learn.

Definitely a good idea to learn, but GPS makes it easy to not know how much you don't know.

There are plenty of OS models being released - there's going to be a steadily increasing quantity + quality of models you can run locally. I don't think it's a good place to compete.
I don't think we should assume that what the article says is a complete or accurate summary of the arguments. (Not that I agree with the outcome)
in the USA, medical guild members are trained to ignore non-guild member theory from the very first year of specialization IMHO.. secondly, there are legal consequences for those that do not adhere to guild doctrine, or could be exposed to legal threat.. IMHO medical guild information is conservative often, but surpasses simple science when pressed in controversy.
From the article,

> The Commission should prepare a report on tyre abrasion by the end of 2024 to
review the measurement methods and state-of-the-art in order to propose tyre abrasion limits by December 2025 at the latest, should the work on tyre abrasion done at UN WP 29 be delayed.

this document isn't them saying "this is how we're going to do it", it's saying "this is what we're going to do".
They probably want to eliminate an attack vector. Removing PostScript support from WebKit/Safari seems like the right decision in light of PostScript’s waning relevance as a publishing format.

Not sure about EPS - last I used it was for vector graphics within LaTeX documents. That was in the early 2000s.

I am sure that applications targeting designers will integrate alternatives like Ghostscript soon enough.
My multivitamin has 11mg/day of zinc but it looks like it doesn't have any magnesium. I'll have to try that, thanks!

Wow. And these games weren't just shovelware.

> How is it different from: putting multiple queues on same redis, when one queue is locked up, others queue are affected?

Queues by nature tend to be for tasks that you can tolerate delaying a bit. If your queues can impact your "live"/online processing, that's worse than just impacting other queues.

Also something like redis tends to be a lot simpler and less prone to locking up than the monster that is postgresql.
Sounds like they weren't 'optimizing' if stopping yielded better results?
Also impulse control and relationship to instant gratification and addictive behaviors.

But back then it was much smaller. Suppose some will always find an excuse as to why things may fail today vs yesterday, while others will find a way regardless.

Best thing about this divisive action by Unity is all the attention it's giving Godot.

It's a project that deserves far more attention, and I hope in a few years that it's far more common in popular game development.
I don't think the public puts a lot of stock into artist statements one way or the other. "Good" art can have eye-rollingly self-important artist statements on the placard just like "bad" art. We all know it's just a part of the game the industry plays.
>SoC vendors should upstream their changes. But fat chance of that happening any time soon

I honestly do not understand why SoC vendors don't put the extra 1% effort in upstreaming their stuff. I've seen (and worked with) software that is lagging 3 to 4 years behind upstream developed by these vendors and if you diff it against upstream it's like 10 small commits, granted, these commits are generally hot garbage.
> and hoping the fuck they don't get hacked.

Or some of the people operating it don't decide it's time to cash out with a fake hack.
Um, I think those were gerbils.
I personally felt Masters of Doom being better than this one, this had too much "life" drama in it IMHO
It's classic build vs. buy. Companies tend to build their own products and use third party software for internal tools.

Just look at Salesforce AppExchange - it's a marketplace of software built on top of Salesforce, a large chunk of which serves to integrate other systems with Salesforce. LLMs open up the ability to build new types of integrations and to provide a much friendlier UI to non-developers who need to work on integrating things or dealing with data that exists in different places.
Given their current slow satellite internet uplink I'm surprised they don't call it Saint Helena Island Telecom.

>> A good example: crop failures happening not in some areas once or twice, but simultaneous in several important areas. Potentially taking out a good chunk of an important crop like maize, soy, wheat or similar. A recent study on this:

> ...and beef is so inefficient there's easily room for another 5% or more just from that, probably another 5% if you convert ethenol crops back to food for human consumption.

> Victory gardens grew 40% of vegetables consumed in the US (back when we got a lot more calories from vegetables, and yes, corn is a vegetable).

I'm skeptical those things address the vulnerability:

1. Can animal feed/ethanol supply chains be shifted quickly enough towards human consumption? Is that food even consumable by humans (e.g. hay is not)?

2. Isn't it unreasonable to assume those food sources are independent of each other? For instance, if there's a major crop failure of maize, wouldn't it affect all maize agriculture (for humans, animals, and fuel)? So the "5%" used for beef production may be much less in the context of crop failure. Similarly, if the climate is bad for conventional agriculture, it's going to be tough on people with gardens, too.

3. A "victory garden" isn't something you can start one day and feed yourself the next. You need seeds (which may be in short supply in this scenario), land (which many people don't have access to), at least half growing season of time, and some skill (which I think is far less common given the shift from rural to urban living).

IMHO, probably the only way to deal with the sudden shock of major crop failures is stockpiling to create slack in the food system. IIRC, many years back I read there was some analysis done that showed the US lacked that slack (something ridiculously short, like 30 days, but that may have been more in the context of nuclear war than crop failures).
My favorite example of how far this convenience goes is demonstrated by items like the following from System.Numerics:

public static System.Numerics.Matrix4x4 CreatePerspectiveFieldOfView (
float fieldOfView, float aspectRatio,
float nearPlaneDistance, float farPlaneDistance);

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.numerics...

I don't know of many other ecosystems that offer methods that allow for construction of FPS-friendly projection matrices in one first-party function call. If you peruse the docs you may find related methods that a game developer would find quite useful. You may also find that everything that can be SIMD-accelerated already has been.

So, it's not just that .NET is convenient. Many of these conveniences are also approximately the fastest & safest way to do things since so much attention has been placed behind them. All of Microsoft's customers is a hell of a QA team. There is absolutely a herd mentality to this, and it works.

Microsoft.* and System.* covers 99.99% of use cases if you simply allow them to. For me, this is the central competitive advantage that .NET has over most others. I do a lot of work with banks, and they audit the hell out of 3rd party. Every non-Microsoft nuget I pull down will need to be explained to our customers.

Yeah so I don't do the Huel hot meals, I just never liked them.

I do the Huel Black which is a meal replacement shake with extra protein. Which if I did 5 servings of would be about 2,250mg of sodium a day. However personally I do it 3 times a day (the extra protein helps) and then a couple snacks like an apple or something else throughout the day.

However I will say regarding eating the entire bag in a day. It is fairly dense and filling (even though I didn't like the taste). So I would be surprised if you would finish it in a day. (then again it is only 7 meals to a bag compared to the 17 meals in a bag of Huel Black so maybe I am remembering wrong)
Is that the ancient Chinese way of sleeping with stones on the eyes, to flatten the lenses?
There are machines designed for testing tires and axles that go around corners under load- for example, the fatigue carousel at University Gustave Eiffel, currently used to test pavement.

It absolutely would not be a spectacle to the degree of being discussed on a technology site 50 years later if people braided her hair.

There is a lot of evidence that artificial^W non-caloric sweeteners are terrible.

There are correlation studies in humans showing many different health issues (weight gain, cancer, mental health issues, among others) that correct for all sorts of confounding factors.

There are experimental studies in rodents that show all of the above across multiple products.

They're known to interact poorly with certain drugs taken for mental illness, and can cause all sorts of brain-related problems in some people (such as migraines).

They're also known to screw up your gut's microbial community, and that's shown to cause depression.

(I'm not commenting on the quality of this particular study, to be clear.)
There are pros and cons for sure but you should check out the press release, DALLE3 is definitely capable of stuff that sd xl isn’t.

As someone deep in the software test automation space, the thing I'm waiting for is robust AI-powered image recognition of app user interfaces. Combined with an AI ability to write test automation code, I'm looking forward to the ability to generate executable Selenium or Appium test code from a single screenshot (or sequence of screenshots). Feels like we're almost there.
There are a few different standards. The problem with the generic csv is that headers still need to be specified. Otherwise, the person doing the importing has to specify/confirm what each column means.
Not sure I would like a software version + audio interface more than the real thing, but this one would make a great addition to simulation software.
What if the deep subconscious keeps track of sweetness in the mouth and nutritional requirements (conscience hunger and cravings)? Artificial sweeteners would break the biological programming and cause all sorts of problems including depression and inappropriate hunger.

Edit: I hadn’t fully thought this through, but in my experience sometimes looking at a clock causes the physical hunger sensation. I have also been painfully starving which immediately stopped after the first swallow of a chugging a coke. Artificial sweeteners would have thrown a monkey wrench in my biological machinery.
The Two Loop Shoelace Knot is something I'll always use. It's especially excellent for using on little kids shoes, which will come untied all the time. This one never comes untied by itself.

Edit: Fixed the name of my favorite knot.
I think the point is that the objects provided have a large influence on the actions of the audience. If there were only feathers and face paint I would think the outcome would have been very different. Keeping that in mind might change what conclusions someone takes away from the whole thing.
From my understanding, the problem was that it wasn’t selling well enough and they decided to cut their losses.

I’m not saying that Optane was a hill they needed to die on, but it’s just another example of their failed leadership and decision making.

Look at how AMD is pursuing and largely succeeding with their vision of using chiplets in their CPUs and GPUs to enable significantly higher core counts at a lower cost.

Or how Nvidia is innovating with massive AI supercomputers, ray tracing, and DLSS.

What is Intel’s vision? In what way are they inventing the next generation of computing? It seems to me that their company objective is just to play catch up with AMD and Nvidia.
Ok, if you can't see what is so great about it, then I'd suggest spending some time in the GCP documentation to figure it out.

With HTTP requests, you will come across reqwest and Tokio. This comment [0] introduces me to ureq and the commentor helped me to explore Rust better.

I understand that making async HTTP request is a fundamental concept. However, I question why we should recommend a more complex solution when there are simpler alternatives that still leverage Rust's capabilities.
