I will respond to you.

I very much admire your questions, and the mind behind them.

> But I ask - if a crime against humanity is committed but it takes humanity some time to recoil and it goes unpunished, is it not a crime?

You must admit that crime is subjective. Let us consider leaded gasoline and freon:

This man is a supervillain of the environment. He was a hero of his day. Accolades are subjective.

>But overall, the arguments, except for a few, are weak with hindsight.

We must escape from many things, to escape from our past.

Are you sure that you know them all?

Pride, wrath, sloth, lust, greed, envy, and gluttony.

Humility, meekness, zeal, chastity, generosity, charity, and temperance.
Yep. Anyone going to Japan looking for a dose of techno orientalism will be disappointed.

Perhaps go to China if you are looking for tech unlike what you find in the west.
you're a bit behind on your CE time. There are lots with that high of variability.
So they sent .exe files to the victim, under the pretext that the victim was supposed to duplicate their functionality in C++? Receiving an .exe file from someone should be a dead giveaway that this is an attack, or at least, that the person sending it to you is incredibly technically incompetent. But then again, I lived through the Windows 95 era. I suppose some lessons have to be re-learned with every new generation.
Good we have such a talent, maybe he can also eat the high housing prices in Canada that are burning a hole in everyone's pockets.
I printed out a nice 1-page guide to flexbox a few weeks ago and keep it on my desk, and it's a great reference.
I know that, but Telegram pulled out of the project after their legal battle with the SEC. As I said, it's fine if you have suspicions that they are still tied, but unless there is falsifiable, this is indiscernible from a journalist not understand what they are publishing. Given the state of tech journalism nowadays, that's my bet.
Until you drop a chain with clipless shoes with clipless shoes on, so you can't even shoe brake very well like BMX riders do. I had that happen with MTB shoes on, and I completely wore down one of the lugs. I've also accidentally unclipped, before I switched to running my Time ATAC cleats reversed which I think is an old messenger trick.

And that is why I only ride my NJS frame on country roads, not in the city anymore :)
Geopolitical events related to Ukraine cause wildfires is what you’re getting at??
I am going to have to disagree there. Anyone can file a patent. Costs are cheap (except the lawyer, but if you have a decent patent, lawyers are also cheap)

It seems like a whole lot of folks are worried that this will upset something, and can seemingly be unable to name/describe what that thing is except to claim that crap is incredibly cost expensive/difficult to theorize/design/develop...then some guy does it in his basement and gets sued for a bajillion dollars.

I actually do support patents, but really, money is not effort, and if effort is zero, you should not be allowed to patent said effort. Using your brain is also not effort. I can think of a million different ways to patent a device that "bends you over and shoves a large stick like device in your anus", should I be granted said patent?

I suspect a proper solution would be to make patent licensing completely illegal, and make patents have a 3 year expiration instead of 10 years unless you try to develop/market your patent on your own. Even in those cases, you should not be allowed to license your patent.

That is just me, however.
Honestly, whatever the heck I want! If I really tax it, i can maybe bring it down to 12 hours.
At this point I'm fairly certain aphantasia doesn't really exist (or is extremely rare), but what exists is a disconnect between what people understand the word "visualising" to mean

I cannot project an image of an apple into my brain, but I can be aware of what an apple looks like and have that awareness move and rotate the apple. I would never call it visualising though
That's really unbelievable - an unacceptable mode of failure. How are they not in jail or sued to oblivion? What engineer put their name on it?

>The simplest fix seems to be using four wheels instead of one

Classic. But that's not enough, you also need airbags and crumple zones. We can't realistically expect everyone to wear motorcycle gear all the time so we need to build it into the mode of transport itself.

Soon enough, you end up building car :)

Facebook gave people a place to talk to each other. What they say and what they do as a result is their own responsibility. Most people just share pictures of cats.

It’s not a direct apples to apples comparison, but compared to a RTX 4090 this isn’t compelling. Other than the 32GB of VRAM there’s not much going for this card. For $4k most people would be better off with dual 4090s.

Ask HN: How long will existing users get original Hasura prices?
Wasn't sure where to ask this, so here I am.

Hasura recently upped their cloud prices big time, to the point where if I had to pay the current prices, I wouldn't be using the service.

The prices only apply to new projects it seems, but I'm obviously concerned about my existing ones.

Are there any precedents for companies staying true to old pricing models?

I'm wondering whether to begin the migration away from Hasura, or to rest assured that my pricing will never change. I'd prefer not to be doing a hectic migration on some kind of deadline.

Thanks!
I prefer recruiters that already have a good job fit in mind. They have an 'in.' That's how I got 3 or so of my last offers.

Any time I've 'applied', it feels like just sending information into the void, and never hearing anything back.
You can still provide all this while contributing to and using the data
to add to the MEMS cross connect discussion for HPC: there would be novelty and utility in Infiniband being modified to provision an extra OCX/OCS link if the fabric sees localized network congestion. This can be effectively done by the subnet manager, and it's likely that the current logical path would adapt accordingly. https://x.com/VHPCworkshop/status/1708303406278791238?s=20
Even if it might have been eventually struck down under the Charter of Fundamental Rights that would take years to arrive at, and by then their access would be de-facto entrenched. They know this as much as anybody.
Knowing Emily: A Review of Tim Powers’ My Brother’s Keeper
Autism is a pervasive developmental disorder often associated with an inability to speak, serious intellectual disability, and similar issues. The less extreme cases have dramatically more contact with the wider population introducing an odd form of social survival bias.

At the same time the term has been more widely applied over time to include people with minimal intellectual or linguistic impairment, but that doesn’t mean people with such profound issues no longer exist.

Thus, if you’re talking about the full autistic population overall they are going to on average be worse at basically any task.
Are you using it with Python 3?
Well, they were treated not better or worse than millions of its own citizens who were sent to Siberia. Including soviet pows who were automatically labeled traitors and sent to gulags.
You're down-voted because you kinda stopped short, but I think it's worth discussing: Many engineering disciplines deal with safety-critical stuff and often have robust process around validation of design and implementation as a result. There's heaps of non-safety-critical software written, and if the same processes, attitudes, and even personell, are applied to a safety-critical component of a generally non-safety-critical system (like mobile 911) then we get bugs like this that canget people killed. How does our field improve on this?
The point is that that in one hypothesis you have two conditions and you must determine the boundary between them. In the other you have only one. You have no evidence to prove that there are two conditions that need to be distinguished; some boundary between them needs to be defined. The emergent phenomenon hypothesis requires this. Panpsychism doesn't.
In macOS 14, Apple removed two "easter eggs"
While the 4.4BSD Calendar program is still included, they removed the data directory at /usr/share/calendar which previously included some fun "easter egg" text files including calendar.birthday, calendar.history, calendar.lotr, and calendar.music.

If you happen to care you can restore the files in this repository into /usr/local/share/calendar:

They also removed the "Puff of Smoke" animation that was still present through macOS Ventura whenever dragging items off of application toolbars to remove them. It is notably deprecated here:

I prefer to self host vs running my brain in the cloud. After all, there is no cloud, it's just someone else's brain.

I haven’t had my coffee yet but I’m pretty sure v8 still needs to set the version bits to specify its a v8 UUID, which means there’s 6 bits of data that need to be thrown away to migrate from ULID to a fully conforming UUID.

>One (admittedly completely conjectured) explanation: Anyone motivated and healthy enough to travel to another country, where there's another language, with nothing but their shirt, is going to be very productive.

Supposing that this is true, what happens in poor countries when they selectively lose their healthiest and most productive people to emigration?
Anecdotally, I’ve noticed most cafes in NYC with more than a handful of seats have a bathroom (even if they hide it) and WiFi. Outlets are pretty much everywhere, it’s more a matter of whether you can get a seat next to one.
I rode in London, a lot. Fast, too.
Couple of accidents, once slipped off a pedal it speed, ran over my foot, but stayed on (thanks, physics), once got too close too a rising curb and couldn't steer, hit a fence at speed, got deep cuts and lots off bruises, but bike took most off the damage.
Have had accidents since, usually from heavy breaking, with complication leading to launching over the front.
I cannot see how these boards could be safer, any dismount at equivalent speed would need considerable skill to not face plant, and any complications would just add energy too the impact.
That or you could simply quail too stop in time and hit something (like a car door opening, or a truck pulling out, or that kid/dog that ran in front of you)

Python, vim, emacs, vs code, etc all exist to write code on Windows too. Hell, Windows even has Linux in it too now (WSL).
You’re right. Sorry.
Exactly. Now the sales cycle is much easier, and can usually be done in an email instead of a series of pointless calls to size each other up.
I'm not really convinced the key difference between "bot that notifies people they've leaked their CC" and "bot that re-shares leaked CC pictures" is 'punch up not down'. -- One is trying to prevent people losing stuff, the other is trying to encourage stealing.

I don't think "punch up not down" is morally equivalent to "be helpful, not malicious".

With RLHF'd LLM chatbots, the output tries to balance being accurate, being helpful, and being inoffensive. -- I'd worry that "punch up not down" mandate dictates it's better for a bot to be inaccurate rather than to say something offensive. -- I think the "punch up not down" people don't understand that they might not be the ones who decide what gets considered 'offensive' or not.

It'll be missed, but the brand needed a refresh. I threw that old logo together in a weekend and it was showing its age (at least to me).

It has a very obvious pushback effect. I haven’t ridden an EUC, but I suspect the difference is you only have part of each foot as leverage to counteract it, so the device can more easily counteract the rider trying to push through it. Turn the rider sideways with each point of contact about a foot out from center, combined with a much smaller tire and lower wattage motor, and it’s easy for the rider to counteract it all the way to the system’s limit.

Then again I’ve seen videos of EUCs doing nearly double the top speed of a Onewheel.

It’s all relative to the rider’s ability and willingness to continue stomping the accelerator as it increases in resistance.
Competence is a large factor in not getting into unsafe operating conditions. Once outside the envelope, it's only a matter of time before you're unlucky.
Yeah every 3-6mo we go through a big ecosystem realignment on the Graphistry stack around CUDA, RAPIDS, torch, transformers, pyg, dgl, etc. It'd be a lot harder without docker and mamba!
How would you handle corrections? Surely Google's API doesn't let you submit changes, and it's not like their data is infallible. Particularly for things like whether a place has AC, I wouldn't even know if Google collects that data in the first place.

OSM has tags for a lot of things, you get the data at cost price (that is, you can keep a local copy for free and serve your own queries, or contract some third party that hosts an API like overpass-turbo for you), and so does everyone else when you contribute back.
Do you think anyone involved in this project ever tested and evaluated this bed? How do you think businesses work in general? They built a bed that lasts only 1 day but decided to go ahead and ship it to disaster areas because why not.

If those recommendations (laws) mattered so much wouldn’t there be serious consequence to the insouciance?

Laws are just recommendations that some people see as more serious than others. If you’re willing to take the risk and accept the consequence, it’s your choice.
We use -Wall -Werror -Wextra -Weverything, plus we use clang-tidy with -Werror as well, plus we use ASan, TSan, MSan, UBSan, plus fuzzing (5+ different types of it), plus we update to the latest compiler on every release, so today it is clang-17, and we build every dependency from source, and always use hermetic builds (cross-compiling).

I think it is the only sane way for C++.

We studied assembly as part of our ancient literature class because so few written examples of languages from that era of humanity still exist to this day. We have had heated discussions over the pronunciation of NOP and BRK. Is it "no-op" or "nope"? Is it "brake" as in to stop? Or "break" as to damage? Should we say "brk" or "berk"?
I was hoping to hear more about TRON but instead the article goes in a different direction.
Is the problem in the west due to westerners prefer to not have any children and enjoy their riches or is it because the society is very top heavy and that the a lot of financially challenged westerners opt not to have children? It's both in my opinion but with a heavier weight for financial struggle. I'm an immigrant and other immigrants from my generation are having less children than their parents and are not doing as well financially (includes housing, Canaduh). Immigration does not answer the question of why people are not having more children.
You bump the version gcc.spec in say, Fedora rawhide. What happens when random package foo doesnt compile with it? Foo is fixed or you skip that gcc version. Unless foo is very important and very hard to fix, you fix foo.

Distros already enforce a consistent toolchain. Arch, Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, etc.

If you use force to obtain “consent”, then I would argue that it isn’t ethical and maybe that it’s a contradiction in terms. If you know how to create a person who would be enthusiastic about consenting, doing that doesn’t seem unethical. For example, after someone chooses to consent, copying them — I would argue that this is just creating a consenting participant, and not unethical (where that person is concerned).
Just as a matter of CYA, use a phone/tablet for interviews if you must. Why add the unnecessary risk?

I only meant to challenge the suggestion that no meaningful harm comes from this kind of misinformation. A bomb maker hurting themselves could hurt other people. Now probably this does not mean we should “blame” the AI, but it’s still important to understand what harms may come when we think about how to manage new technologies, even if the answer is “do nothing”.

Also, if you contribute the data back to OpenStreetMap, many more people will benefit from it, even if they don't know your app. There are so many applications/APIs/services which use OpenStreetMap, which would benefit from more people updating/contributing data to OpenStreetMap.
Alright, hold those horses.

A few points I'd like to make regarding your assumptions and my view of Japan, which I'm not claiming is fully correct, but has a different perspective to offer:

a) I'm not an expert, but Japan's debt is mostly domestically owned (companies in Japan, Bank of Japan, et cetera) and they hold huge reserves in foreign currencies. Economics is more complicated than a simple debt figure, and I'm not well informed about the details, but the ratio of "debt to GDP" by itself isn't the holy grail as far as I know. Devil's in the details. It's a huge problem, but not as large as the number by itself indicates.

b) Japan is self contained. They have a unique self contained non-extremely-western-poisoned culture, an aging population without relying on immigration, their ethnicity makeup is 98% Japanese (I'm sure them being an island, the language and culture barrier are a factor). Find that bad or good, but I think there's something to that, and I think it's important when discussing their culture or their country.

c) Japan is a paradise for geeks, regarding how many possessions are treated and treasured. You've seen outdated tech and thought it was bad? I'm here ordering old consoles, games, dvds, books from Japan and the condition "slightly worn" from a Japenese seller is the American equivalent to "As good as new, perfect condition". Japan is a paradise for cameras, old game consoles, hard to find hardware, watches, ... arcades you wouldn't be able to find in any other country because they've given way to "the times" in other countries... you see a fax machine, or I guess potentially minidisc player, a discman, old cassette player... sold as "new" and think it's bad? I'd love the fact and buy all of them...

d) Toyota is one of the top 10 companies by revenue in the world, still one of the largest car manufacturers, and famous (among other Japanese companies) for efficient and world pioneering management techniques... Japan has the third highest GDP and ranks 19th in the HDI... is it maybe too soon to sing their demise?

Not picking a fight, but from my perspective your comment comes off as condescending, culturally biased and close-minded... Deriding a whole country/culture/economy because of how you interpreted certain things while visiting...you're citing Japanese toilet buttons as an example for their technological demise given their bad UI (having buttons)? Should it be voice controlled, have a touch panel, connect via Bluetooth to your smartphone and have its own bespoke App, offer fancy usage statistics...

You were there for months and this is your cynical take? How could I, as an outsider applying a similar spirit to yours, rate China (censorship, the CCP, inequality, corruption, certain infrastructure projects, technological tracking), the US (politics, cultural crazes, depression, high school system, prison system, weapons, policing), Europe (immigration and identity crisis, EU, ...), Russia/Ukraine..., Mexico, Brazil,...

This is meant to illustrate: a cynical take is easy to come by...
6. Better worldwide coverage. The USA and perhaps some other English-speaking countries are the main areas where Google is better than OSM in most practical categories (probably still not in things like trails), but in most countries you've got better coverage with OSM
In the 80es the us and Japan fought a tech and trade war very similar to the us china tech war that is going on today.

A war that Japan decidedly lost.

Here is an article from Chinese state media drawing the parallels:

https://news.cgtn.com/news/2019-07-11/Lessons-from-U-S-Japan...

What can we learn from U.S.-Japan trade war of 1980s?

It is true that the ongoing trade war between China and the U.S. is different from the one between the U.S. and Japan in the 1980s, but the two trade wars do have a lot in common. First, both involve the world's largest and second-largest economies; second, China is the country with the largest trade surplus with the U.S., the spot was held by Japan during the 1980s; third, China is highly dependent on the U.S. market, so was Japan. The U.S. approach and the intensity of the trade wars are also more or less the same.

Yes that’s correct, the firmware update is to provide haptic feedback by modulating the motor to cause vibration. It sounds like a great idea, hopefully it works well.
