Suppose a team was given a goal of reducing variance in latency on an API.

Getting to the root causes of variance and fixing them is hard.

Injecting extra latency on the fast queries is easy. Even if the query returns in 80ms, we just wait until 800ms have passed before returning the result.

These are the same incentives given to administrators tasked with improving equity.
Courts quite frequently convict people based on circumstantial evidence. Conviction is based on the determination of either a jury or a judge, and neither are required to have or use direct evidence.
Eleos Technologies (https://eleostech.com) | Remote Front-End Web Engineer | Permanently Remote (US-based applicants only) | Full time

Eleos Technologies is a growing company building communication software for truck drivers and the back-office workers who support them. We’re looking to scale up a second product engineering team to ship more advanced driver planning tools, automate outdated workflow, and a bunch of other wins to make drivers’ lives easier and more efficient.

We're looking for someone with several years of professional web experience who's looking to learn and flourish at a company that's big enough to survive an economic downturn, but not so big you can't make immediate, direct impact that'll be seen and appreciated by the whole company. (We've also spent the last decade working really hard to make sure our tools, processes, and culture respect everyone's work/life balance. I'm the CTO and I don't text people on my team, and they don't text me, and that's true throughout.)

The stack is Erlang/Elixir with a ClojureScript+React frontend with robust automated test coverage.

If you're interested, please share your info via https://jobs.lever.co/eleostech/629c95b5-2205-4d5e-af25-4ca5... or feel free to reach out to me directly if you have questions (email is in my about/bio).
Maybe it's just me, but seeing pricing on the first page of an open source project makes me puke a little in my mouth. I know that technically the code is open source and people need to eat and all that, yet, I can't help it but feel a little bit scammed.
The same exploit is present in the 8940, but the path to get there is slightly different and incompatible with normal PC host USB controllers due to the need to avoid ever sending a zero length packet. There are plenty of ports using low level host hardware, for example https://github.com/a1exdandy/checkm8-a5 .

But the uuid collision chance only matters if there is even a possibility of colliding writes and lookups.

So what if your microblogging platform's tweet uuid happens to collide with my cocktail recipe generator's ingredient uuid? The likelihood that any one device will ever be running our apps at the same time and trying to read data from one into the other is even smaller than the 1-in-380000000000000000000000000000000000000 (uuidv4) probability of having a collision in the first place.
Why would Google's competitors be barred from testifying in a case that hinges on whether Google is using unfair advantages to beat its competitors? The competition is one of the primary victims of the alleged antitrust violations, of course the government is going to ask them to testify and explain how they've been hurt by Google's behavior!
“ The document cited research that hadn’t been peer-reviewed; justified sweeping generalizations by referencing small, tightly focused studies or even unrelated research; and described some papers as reaching nearly the opposite conclusions from what they actually say.”

I don't think that case 1 is hypocritical, because forgiving and being forgiven are two different things/beliefs/actions. Therefore, no conflict.
This is a pretty small fine, for a case where the operator somehow failed to conserve enough fuel. So while they did vacate their prime GEO real estate, they could only get 40% of the way to the graveyard orbit.

This is not true. In China, buyers have to pay the down payment and mortgage before the apartment is built, but for some reason if the builder left the apartment half built, buyers do get their money back from the bank.
> It's an opinion from someone who hates you/benefits from convicting you.

Hence why the opposing side gets the opportunity to cross-examine the witness, and why it would be a really bad idea to put forward a witness who clearly has a grudge against the accused. In cross you just show they have a grudge and now their testimony is suspect.

> Now, if they had actual evidence it'd be different

It is actual evidence. I don't think you know what evidence is...
I like the results and currently testing it out.

however what i found to be an inconvenience and something i do more often then i thought was google businesses for opening times, phone numbers and addresses. Which is nicely presented in a google search and not so in Kagi.

>All moral judgements around suffering are only applicable to humans and things that share a common-enough ancestor with humans

200 years ago people were making the same argument you're making now about why "subhuman" races deserved to be slaves and their suffering shouldn't bother us.
Definitely Guattari! Anti-Oedipus, which he wrote with Deleuze, is a trip and really wonderful. That's actually how I came across Reich.

Guattari is interesting for pioneering schizoanalysis at the La Borde clinic. He's also one of the most confusing writers I've ever come across, so I recommend the books cowritten with Deleuze over his solo stuff. He's got some whimsy to him just like Reich does.

"""
Addendum

After I posted this, it made the front page of Hacker News and was subsequently posted in quite a few places. After reading some of the comments, I realize a few subtleties in my word choice didn’t come across, so I’d like to clarify them.

When I say “RTO is bullshit”, I don’t mean “office work is bullshit” or anything negative about people that prefer in-person office work. I mean “the forced relocation implementation of transitioning a whole company to never-remote (a.k.a. RTO) is bullshit”.

If working in an office is better for you, rock on. I don’t have any issue with that. The bullshit is the actions taken by company’s leadership teams in absence of (or often in spite of) hard data on remote work versus in-person work. The bullshit is changing remote worker’s employment agreements without their consent and threatening “voluntary resignation” as the only alternative (even though that’s pretty obviously constructive dismissal).

When I discussed ultimatums above, I’m specifically referring to actual ultimatums, not colloquial understandings of the word. If you can talk with the person and negotiate with them, it’s not a goddamn ultimatum. What I was faced with was an actual ultimatum: Comply or suffer. I chose freedom.

Hope that helps.
"""

I still agree completely post-addendum. I'm not sure if you've been faced with RTO/RTT, but I have, even though I had exclusively negotiated with my employer for full remote. They've done nothing but coerce compliance to their new RTT/RTO mandates and it's absolutely dehumanizing. The corporate overlords demand full and total capitulation or else you are fired. It doesn't matter I negotiated specifically to be full remote prior, have RSUs vesting part of my compensation, or that I pivoted my entire life and career to be here! In essence, 'capitulation' is the perfect word to use for this nonsensical regression of workplace flexibility because people are being coerced. So what, you had a successful in-office experience prior to covid, its irrelevant here in all honesty. This greater discussion at hand has little to do with workers indifferent to or in favor of returning to office workspaces.
You can check to which google cloud location you connect and see the latency, by opening the settings side bar on the main page and have a look at the bottom.
Honestly surprised I haven't heard that reasoning before now that you mention it:

Jeff Bezos, Larry Ellison, Sergey Brin, Bill Gates, and Steve Ballmer all married subordinates, and Elon Musk had children with an employee
I retired about 8 years ago which is when I found the newsfeed. When I worked, I was too busy for places like this.

Retiring was easy. I do what I want when I want, and I belong to the set of people that believe if I get bored it's my own fault. I have time for health, friends, family, and games, and all to the degree that I want.

My spending is on a budget, but that's ok

Well you kind of have to take addition on faith, but everything else is pretty built up - subtraction is adding negatives, multiplication is repeated addition, division is repeated subtraction, fractions are division, decimals are fractions, and so on and so forth. Maybe some explanations were a little more handwavy than others, and certainly some algorithms could be better explained (took me quite some time to grok long division), but I can't think of anything that was just "trust me it works."
wonder if they have large enough data to search like Bing, DuckDuckGo or Google otherwise the statistical data shown is moot and purely marketing but not of real life?
> the only reason the US economy is not a complete dumpster fire.

The US economy is a complete dumpster fire for those of us worth less than seven figures. Big tech monopolization does not strengthen our productive capacity, and breaking up the big tech companies won't weaken it. If anything, it will strengthen the economy by making it more viable to found a tech startup without the explicit goal of being bought out. We aren't "killing" our software industry; we're revitalizing it.
Because Microsoft is in the game of being a big business, and demonstrably is not in the group that needs a fair market to thrive. MS is/was willing to make the same deals as Google for defaults, it's just Google valued it more. They should be in hot seat #2.

Smaller companies like DDG, Brave, Kagi are the ones trying to build narrow, competitive businesses in the search and browser space. If those are struggling due to anti-competitive practices I want to hear it.

I mean, it's only the installer. I know I only run it once per machine, usually right in the middle of installing all the rest of my usual utilities. It would be easy to miss that it's much too slow.

It's not like I have a good sense of what it does anyway, in addition to copying files for a fraction of a second.
It can, and it should. However, that doesn't mean that the books are doing it successfully, and the teachers understand the underlying principles.

Too many years ago, I was pleasantly shocked at looking at what was being covered in elementary education by tutoring a friend. They were teaching discrete mathematics, different numbering systems ... forcing the teachers to learn how think in a different system. It was inspired (and harder then I would have expected). However, the book author's did not seem to realize what they were doing or why. They were meeting the requirements without understanding why they were requirements. It unfortunately seemed far too appropriate for what would be happening in many grade schools.
Yeah, I'm very confused by this post. The last few days/weeks Kagi has taken _very_ long to respond. I end up refreshing the page because it doesn't even show a loading indicator -- just a blank results page.
What could be the general approach to upholding a one "vote" per human" policy / preventing rank from being gamed?
So CSS should just be removed entirely... after all, why should a website get to choose how I consume it?
That is good to hear, but still, as another responder pointed out, the primary maintainer didn't handle things much better - although if he had, funnily enough, at least one of the incidents would've been resolved with a lot less reputational damage

Also, I find it slightly amusing how often they bring up the legal aspect of these licenses. They're not wrong, of course, but are they really going to hire lawyers to go after someone like Feodor? At most maybe they'll get it removed from Github and other platforms that care to respond to such requests?

> You think trademark law is a joke?

Personally, yes :)
given that kagi works as "frontend" for google/yandex/etc (listed on their website), what about factoring in co2 of their server farm to their results
The analogy is quite on-point. In the 18th-century conservatories that trained scores of outstanding composers[0] the "cornerstone of music pedagogy" in the early years was singing, making up little embellishments or variations on existing melodies (these were called passaggi or diminutions) and using solfège (or rather an early variety thereof, based on the hexachord) to reverse the process and discover the deeper, simpler melodic structures underlying existing pieces. In later years the best students would be sat at the keyboard and taught to improvise entire pieces from a bassline. Paper was very expensive, so sheet music was little used: wax tablets would be used as a scratchpad when needed. Merely playing written-out pieces was seen as sub-par, something for those who couldn't attain the more highly valued skill of actual improvisation.

That whole skillset is all but lost now, long supplanted by a hyper-competitive culture of supposedly 'virtuoso' performance. It survives to some extent in organ playing, and the jazz tradition as a whole may or may not be an offshoot of some popularized ("folk") variety of it.

I give zero fucks about carbon footprint of my search engine. I care about giant barges hauling 9 billion bullshit items from china unleashing untold amounts of garbage and pollution into the ocean.

I also enjoy kagi and have been trying to use it more recently
I have a feeling those numbers would change if you scale up the number of requests.
There is absolutely nothing stopping them. In fact, the dominant view of the people most willing to exercise their power (employers) is in their favor. All incentives align toward sharing! If they exist in such numbers, they should be all over the business press.

And yet...

Hello Animats,

We regret to inform you that specifying the skeleton is not currently an option and we are working on that. But you do the option to modify the position of the rig without adding/deleting the joints. Also, you do have the option to download the skeleton provided by us separately and then manually map it to your animation as needed.

We currently have constraints related to the specific number of vertices, but we are actively in the process of developing high-poly models that will soon be available for upload into our system. This will enable you to use the subdivided models directly for your projects.

If you have any additional questions or require further clarification, please feel free to contact us via Discord or send us an email at hello@anything.world. Your feedback and support mean a lot to us!

This reminds me of the absolute amazement and wonder in the faces of people who are tricked in older movies or video clips, sometimes with simple or outright ridiculous tricks (by today's standards).

It's not a great example (and the best I have on hand)... but the Rick and Morty episode where Morty meets the Knights of the Sun and similar groups from other celestial bodies shows elements of this as well.

I have the impression people on average were way more gullible the further you look back in time. I wonder then if LLMs suffer from a lack of data about such cases that may have been common in the past but became obsolete before the internet became mainstream.
Do those numbers include amortised indexing costs or are they just the marginal query costs?

Because Azure customers want Google to be able to index their sites.

Would you host your e-commerce or social media site on a cloud provider that blocked Googlebot?

It's not Microsoft giving Google a handout out of the goodness of their hearts; it's Azure customers demanding that functionality. (Those Azure customers also don't care about a random little search startup and probably don't want to pay any egress fees to serve traffic to it.)

AWS offers the same: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/waf/latest/developerguide/waf-bo...

I'm currently living on a sailboat with my wife working remote in the Caribbean. There are 5g sim cards for pretty cheap but I think you know what it would be like to only use that in the states to do your job. Sometimes the networks here go down all day.

C'mon that page is highly technical, really just listing the letters or glyphs used for forming printed text. In reality, if you walk into any first grade classroom you see pictures of the letters A-Z with pictures (Apfel, Bär, uwv) and then after the end maybe around the corner, what, Öl? I can't even remember. When the kids recite the letters they don't recite äöüß. TBH I really only remember this because when kiddo was that age the Neue Rechtscribung transition was mid-process and the parents were angrily divided so I was kinda paying attention.

Also, though it's hardly authoritative, my kids' school taught English through immersion from grade 1 too, and both German and English teachers said "same alphabet".

As bmicraft pointed out, even in that wikipedia chart those inflected letters are spaced apart from the others. Yes, they are letterforms, but not part of the "alphabet" -- they don't even have a sorting like the Swedish Ä or W do.

And you can switch in running text from using the marker for umlaut (dots or bar, not semantically dieresis) or a normal "e" without anyone blinking. There's no problem reading a Swiss book even though ß refuses to cross the border. Though I personally prefer to read Äpfel and Bär rather than Aepfel and Baer, really, they are the same.
Also, completely unrelated, but I recognize you from various FOSS IRC channels :) Hello!

From what I've read, Ive was the one that wanted to push the watch as a super luxury item. Designers like to cater to that segment of the market but it's not as profitable as the mass market. At least when referring to Apple products. Ive left Apple so there's no one to push to service the upper segment. I suspect they sold very few $17000 watches so it makes sense to just give it up and deal with the few people that will make a fuss. Even if they have to refund a few sales, it will be way cheaper than maintaining a group of techs and SWEs to deal with those watches.

I also suspect that given enough time those are the watches that will become collectors' items and will sell for multiple times their original cost so it's not a total loss for the buyers.
There is a widespread misconception, especially amongst its critics, that Common Core prescribes how to teach. It generally just sets goals.

There are dozens of Common Core compliant math curriculums that teach in all sorts of ways, some are more "how" some are more "drill". The more trendy curriculums make a false promise of a painless "How" that ends up with kids neither learning How it Works, or How to get the right answer.
Almost surely that Azure customers want that.
