I'm running some monitoring that will tell me how setup.exe behaves on my machines. I tested it by forcing an update from Chrome. The private commit and private working set were 66.76 and 61.70 MiB, so no capping, but that makes sense because a user-initiated update isn't running at low priority, so we don't trigger background mode.

So, the only time the bug happens is for background updates that may be happening when the user isn't even present. And, since the CPU priority is low they won't harm responsiveness of foreground applications. But they will waste CPU time and electricity and battery life (if on battery). So, a silent waste.
It wasn't a "public statement of support." That was a rally held in Kyiv, headed by the US. This was the US being on the ground, in and among the protesters and making a very visible point of it. It's likely because CIA ops to agitate and embolden the protesters 'quietly' failed, so they needed a more visible demonstration to show the protesters we'd have their back in case of an insurrection.

Aristotle would have been using "accidental" as opposed to "essential". Both used slightly differently to today's common usage. Essential being of the essence of a thing, i.e. it could not be that thing without it. Accidental being non-essential, i.e. it can be itself without that thing`[0].

It's not clear how a friendship can be essential though. Of what is the friendship essential? Or is it more like a friendship that fits the platonic form of a friendship.

edit: I do realise that your comment was a joke, and doesn't deserve to be "uhm actuallied", but I've personally always found the essential vs accidental usage to be very useful and interesting :)

Why doesn't passing the Turing Test mean you are sentient is an open question but most agree that it is obvious there is a gap here.

"Predicting text" is just a falacy born from applying function logic to humans. "Well if I simplify the problem to a text window obviously they are the same" as if simplifying doesn't change anything.

As an outsider it seems to me one half wants to burn books, regulate love and curb compassion, the other wants to improve education, regulate hate and promote compassion. It’s pretty easy which side to choose.
While cash is not practical today, Money Laundering is still happening. I'd say the current regulation does little to nothing to stop it.

Think of the experiences you described in your comments. They almost always happen when you make/receive money from certain jurisdictions (third-world, not necessarily a money laundering location). The West, in the last few years, has become less competitive. This switched the money flow which was predominantly from third-world to west. Most of the money laundering happened in the Western countries in the past. (think dictators moving their monies to European capitals to buy real-estate).

Now that the flow has flipped in favor of the third-world, the West has decided to "stop" the flow. The lower taxation rate in these countries makes this worse. The exception is the US. They weren't a favored location before but they figured they could pick up where Europe left off. And FATCA made it easier for them.
Yes, but presumably in the training data those two are quite correlated.

Was it Kekkonen who said that the Finnish economy is like a chair, and two of the legs are made of wood?

The forestry industry is still a big player, especially with the recent disconnection of Russia from the world economy. Biofuels may play a part in that. But not sure it's a big enough differentiator these days.

The country is well-educated, however it suffers from the same problem as much of Europe: not enough young people to support a growing retired population. That retired population is also more conservative leaning and doesn't want more immigration, yet Finland needs more skilled immigrants. Again, a common European story of an older voting base who want to live off the fruits of other peoples' labour (whether as recipients of government largesse, or as landlords on their property investments) but do their darnedest to make it harder for that labour to make those fruits.

Avoiding such false messages on the human layer is all about interface design and we know how to do that in principle. The problem is just that it isn't done always when it is needed. In case of the Hawaii missle alert there are multiple sources describing the UI as being two similar looking buttons right next to each other: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/jan/15/hawaii-mi...

Just make the actual missle alert button big and red and have users confirm a prompt after clicking.

In Reagans case it is also about the "interface". If footage that leaved the set is not checked, because there is no delay, well then unchecked footage goes out.
Going back to handwritten exams might be a solution. It is known to scale well and there is still enough expertise running them on this level left.

Having locked down thin-clients does not scale well enough to these sizes. Specially when there is usually multiple concurrent exams running at same time. On small scale it could be solution. A screen, keyboard and mouse with locked down thin client and simple editor.

It's possible but it gets complex really quickly. Just running the server in the browser is the easy part ;)

Having a selected host on one of the clients (as you mentioned) could potentially work, from network topology point of it wouldn't be much different from hosting a native server on their computer. There is a few cons to this approach:

1. We become limited on that person's uplink. First bottleneck will be bandwidth as they have to send all data to everyone. Secondly it's very difficult to ensure reasonable latency in this setup (it's already difficult with dedicated servers). Thirdly they have to be reachable by all other players (NAT/firewall headaches).

2. We rely on that person's computer and network to be up for the duration of the game session. We could try to migrate game server to another one if there are problems but again this becomes really complex really quickly.

3. Cheating. Not something we are worried at this stage but having a game hosted on one of the player's machines opens it up for abuse and might give a slight advantage to that player (starting with extremely low latency).

So that's when we compare running a non-dedicated server on one of the client's nodes. If we were to venture to pure P2P then it brings another set of challenges like state synchronisation.
If they are all so interchangable, then I guess no one should care too much about them being split up either. Just need a high enough frequency of splitting to keep the market sane.
My car reminds me when I shut down the engine to not forget my phone on the display.
You are actually right. You didn’t claim that the Greek did it first and that is what I doubted in the first place. I misread your comment.

That fact that the Greek could prove the theorem at some point is not unlikely even without evidence. It’s as likely as others doing it well before them.
Historically? Sure. But we are no longer in that phase of the mobile industry that a year old phone is close to useless at running new apps - the hardware improvements are more gradual.
Probably you just grew up.

I hope kids today find the weird world of user-friendly operating systems (license- and tinkering-wise) just as interesting as we once did.
Its kind of that way

How do you reduce inefficiencies and cut costs without compromising care?

You cut jobs that are redundant. America spends an insane amount of money on administrative overhead. 4x the average of other wealthy nations [1]. This is largely in part because our fragmented insurance system leads to excessive redundancy in administrative roles

So meaningful reform means cutting jobs. Or you do the shitty political move and preserve these useless jobs for the sake of keeping people employed because our social safety net is a joke and the cost cutting you do make is at the expense of compromising care and vulnerable populations (eg cutting Medicare and Medicaid benefits). Then you get more clinician burn out and struggle to fill key clinical roles/staffing issues, scheduling issues and longer appointment waiting periods, more deaths and complications from a lack of preventative care, more mental health issues and drug abuse in communities, etc. all of which is happening in the USA.

That's positive news, but I'll have to reserve my enthusiasm. I've been burned too many times with what seem like reasonable-looking RFCs that seem to have some initial momentum and then get closed out after a few years with no progress being made (& how that's communicated out & tracked is another complaint).

For example & relevant to this:
https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/issues/816 redirected to https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2318

https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2318 says merged but links to tracking issue https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/50297 which was closed out without ever being implemented.

So 5 years with no progress & a restarted effort. Don't get me wrong. I appreciate all the people devoting energy to this & other issues, & it's certainly easy to provide criticism from the sidelines, especially since actually solving the problem I'm sure can be hard & I'm not putting my cycles toward this. All I'm trying to communicate is that I'm personally not going to get my hopes up but I really wish the team luck and hope progress can be made here finally!
> They'll lower the price when their alternative is that the unit stays empty indefinitely.

That doesn't really square with how large multi-unit properties are valued, though. Once you get past 4 units in a building, you're into the world of commercial real estate. Commercial real estate is commonly valued based on a percentage of the projected (i.e. theoretical) cash flow the building would generate if all units therein were rented out.

Notice how you don't have to actually rent out the units for this formula to work? If you have vacancies, you can just "project" that they'll be rented out at whatever your current asking price is.

At this point, you might be saying to yourself something like "WTF, that's basically fraud, isn't it?" Well, it basically isn't, as long as you can convince at least one person (e.g. a banker or potential purchaser) that your projections are sound in order to either get a loan against any equity you have in the building, or to buy it outright, respectively.

Just so you know I'm not making any of this up, here's a page that lays it all out for you: https://www.firstrepublic.com/insights-education/five-common...

To bring it back to vacancies and rents, that's the reason you see buildings sitting with tons of vacancies and owners not dropping rents. It's also the reason you see those "N months free, then $R per month thereafter" deals (because $R is the value they get to "project" they'll be taking in every month, regardless of the fact that it cost N months' worth of rent to bring in a tenant. If you start lowering rents, then that fucks with your "projections," see.

If you're like me when I first heard all this, you probably think this is insane at best, or shady at worst. And, yeah, it kinda is. But it also explains the phenomenon of units sitting vacant and bringing in $0/month when the landlord could just lower the rent and bring in $POSITIVE/month instead.

Are you saying in terms of how long the benchmark takes? Have you tried `--quick`? The duration of the test doesn't matter so much for the time it takes Criterion to benchmark - what Criterion is trying to do is run the function enough times that it thinks it has a statistically defensible estimate of how expensive your code is.
Have you considered flashing something like LineageOS? The Pixel line is well supported.
> Every cell phone I had before the iPhone came out had an easily replaceable battery

I’m not sure how important it is. My first phones with replaceable batteries sucked, the plastic cover would always pop out and was generally a point of failure. And it never did me any good, as most phones died before the battery became an issue.

Today I’ve had an iPhone for 3 years and the battery is still going strong. If I need to replace it… I’ll just find someone who can replace it, easy enough. Sure it would be more convenient to be able to do it myself, but if it happens once every 4-5 years I honestly don’t care, and will take the daily convenience of no plastic cover instead.
> Part of the FCC certification process is that devices need to accept interference from other devices operating within the limits

Note that only some classes of device have this requirement to accept all interference from devices operating within the limits. For some classes of devices if a consumer device interferes with then the consumer device's owner is responsible for stopping the interference even if the consumer device is operating entirely within limits.

The FCC regulations are divided into several parts, covering different devices and services. For example Part 87 covers various aviation radio services and devices, Part 97 covers Amateur Radio, and Part 20 covers mobile phones.

For any given frequency there might be devices or services covered under several different parts that can radiate on that frequency. There will generally be some kind of hierarchy among them where devices are not allowed to interfere with devices higher in the hierarchy and must accept interference from devices higher in the hierarchy.

The Part that covers much of consumer electronics other than mobile phones is Part 15. For most common consumer devices, if it is not a mobile phone and you did not need to get a license from the FCC to use it it probably falls under Part 15. This includes "intentional radiators", which are devices that are intended to emit radio such as WiFi routers, "unintentional radiators", which are devices that intentionally generate radio frequency energy within the device but it is meant to stay within wires or within the device, and "incidental radiators", which are devices that aren't intended to generate radio frequency energy but do so as a side effect such as DC motors and mechanical light switches.

Part 15 is at the bottom of the hierarchy.

For Part 15 devices, 47 CFR 15.5(b) says:

> Operation of an intentional, unintentional, or incidental radiator is subject to the conditions that no harmful interference is caused and that interference must be accepted that may be caused by the operation of an authorized radio station, by another intentional or unintentional radiator, by industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) equipment, or by an incidental radiator.

Other Parts can have quite different rules. For example Part 95 Subpart C, which covers radio control such as is commonly used in RC models, says this:

> (a) RCRS stations must not cause interference to:

> (1) Authorized radio operations in the 72–76 MHz band, including radio remote control of industrial equipment on the same or adjacent channels; or,

> (2) Broadcast television reception on TV Channels 4 or 5.

> (b) RCRS operations are not afforded protection from interference caused by the operation of:

> (1) Industrial, scientific or medical devices (see part 18 of this chapter) operating in the 26–28 MHz band; and,

> (2) Fixed and mobile stations in other services operating on the same or adjacent channels.

For Amateur ("ham") Radio, the interference rules are much more extensive, because hams are authorized to use a lot of frequency bands that overlap other services. Here's a link if anyone is curious [1].

That’s not the same thing at all. Fraud isn’t something that needs new regulation. The existing rules are fine, they need to be enforced.

I'm not sure if confabulate is exactly what LLMs do (though it seems closer than the implications of hallucinate).

But neurotypical, neurodiverse, perfectly functional people, etc. all confabulate or do something similar on a regular basis, in verbal and written mediums, and often do so in good faith. It's human instinct to communicate, even if you are uncertain and unaware of the full context of the discussion.

Teachers, customer service reps, executives, shop keepers, doctors, nurses, domain experts, authors of textbooks, it doesn't matter who it is, they'll probably confabulate or equivocate or do some other type of communication that isn't immediately useful. Yet it's still a useful activity to just talk to someone or read a less than rigorous book for the purposes of learning (discounting the relationship forming part, which is also useful). And so is using LLMs, even for casual users. So long as they understand that limitation, whether its with a chatbot or a real person. Not everything they say will be useful or truthful, but we are already capable of adjusting to that.
> Delta would not say if the engines with the fraudulently documented parts had been on planes while they were in service.

If they weren't, Delta would say so, since it makes them look better. That they won't say means the parts were used in service.

> None of Delta’s aircraft are currently flying with unapproved parts, and the discovery hasn’t affected flight operations

How do they know? Even these fake parts were not detected by Delta but "were detected during engine work by an unnamed third party."
Wow, that sounds incredibly inefficient!
And type of nurse. Big difference in pay between an rn, Lpn, msn, crnp, but one might colloquially refer to all as a “nurse” (except maybe the crnp). Position matters too. A travel er nurse is going to make significantly more than an outpatient primary care office nurse
Living in the area of a Rivian office, I see their trucks around frequently. They're nice looking vehicles but appear to be mostly for getting household supplies at the local big box and far too slick for heavy duty work and off road use. I've heard that employees who buy one get a $1000 subsidy each month, which sounds like a nice benefit but unless they're also getting a heavy discount on the purchase price, even with the monthly subsidy, it's a bit iffy.
That's Apple's claim, yes.

But if they were genuinely just concerned about battery health, and not about their sales numbers, then why do the throttling covertly? Why not tell the user that throttling was happening, that it was related to power issues, and that they should consider a replacement battery?
From my reading, there's an entire dubious parts industry largely centred in Florida.
I've seen this tablet before, and an not convinced that it is actually the Pythagorean theorem. Its just a tablet with some tick marks inscribed onto it, along with a circular looking thing. It's very much a stretch to say the person who etched those markings intended to express the Pythagorean theorem.

There was a point in time when I was very interested in ancient civilizations from Mesopotamia, but in more recent years I an way less interested in it. The scholarship in that field is just terrible. In my opinion, a lot of the stuff is on par with alien "investigators" and stuff like that, yet for some reason the general public sees the field as totally legit.
Very interesting. Is there a way to retrieve the segment information, then surface that in a UI so I can select and regenerate single elements?

They're not expecting to reduce the population. The claims of "genocide" are based on a rather stretched redefinition to include forced cultural assimilation.
