graeber & wengrow showed historical societies that moved on from domination and hierarchy even well beyond dunbar numbers and after the discovery of agriculture (earlier than previously understood) but of course they still must defend against neighbors that seek to dominate them violently and institute new hierarchies and ownership structures. if you can envision society that lives with less violence and conflict over power, you must also accept that society must similarly defend itself in various ways from those who come not to visit but to take land, homes, resources and institute their own power structures over the ones already there living in that society you envision
Canter may have been seeking a quick marketing win, but he ended up shaping the internet's commercial landscape in a way that's still being debated so many years later. It's definitely a cautionary tale of how a single action can ripple through an ecosystem.

Balmer says:

Five hundred dollars fully subsidized
with a plan I said that is the most
expensive phone in the world and it
doesn't appeal to business customers
because it doesn't have a keyboard which
makes it not a very good email machine
now it may sell very well or not I you
know we have our strategy we've got
great Windows Mobile devices in the
market today we you can get a Motorola Q
phone now for $99 it's a very capable
machine it'll do music it'll do internet
it'll do email it'll do instant
messaging so I I kind of look at that
and I say well I like our strategy I
like it a lot.

Why was he wrong?
I have no idea what you're talking about. Amd and Intel match on the isa in any case you'd see typically. Moreover, Intel is currently using AMDs instruction set. X86_64 was designed my amd and used to be called AMD64
Super happy for you! Funny coincidence, given we just talked about your “modest” specs last week haha.

Some companies can make quality items but I agree not universal or guaranteed. It’s just that historically fraud has been low but every year it gets worse and is more common.
You are being downvoted but the contrast in treatment in regard to big Pharma is something to behold. They go from punching bag to media darling in the span of a year.
As far as I'm concerned this whole "culture war" is just short termism vs long termism.

You can be childfree, polyamorous, body positive, whatever, and enjoy your youth.

In older age, your 50s and 60s onwards say, your health, your partner, your family become the basis of your life. It's the ultimate "fuck around and find out".
What is this supposed to be a detriment relative to? If someone compromises your device then they can also transfer all of the money out of your bank account, use it to buy gold bullion and be on a beach in a non-extradition country before you get your next bank statement.
Oh, I didn’t know Krunker had a UGC aspect, I need to test this.
Super short time-to-fun is really awesome.
I’m working on a UGC platform too, and it’s one thing we do consider / try to improve. However, our main point of friction is the sign up process (checking for DOB at least). It’s mandatory when bringing people together (realtime multiplayer), especially with chat features enabled.
Has this been considered for Krunker?
Yes, exactly. Fine-tuning is a good way to impart this kind of knowledge to the model.
A series of unlikely but dependent events is no more likely. This is pure speculation, not science.

What a strange comment.

What are you trying to say here?
Was this piece marked as opinion or an editorial? Allowing 3rd party writers to publish isn't new, but back when we pretended we had standards, they were placed in an obvious part of the publication that it wasn't staff writers working within the normal flow of editorial process. i must be old, because a lot of my comments are now "used to be", "back when", "remember back when" type stories
Limiting compute is trivial on any modern operating system. On Linux you can create a second supervisor thread, block on a mutex with a timeout, and then if you timed out before acquiring the mutex you can just tgkill the runner thread. On BSDs it's even easier since you can just hand the runner thread port to your supervisor thread and, after you timeout, you can just set RIP/PC to whatever location you want without having to screw around with signals.
Something has gone wrong in the calibration then. A normal scene shouldn't outshine normal windows. It's not a problem inherent to HDR.

Not sure what that's supposed to mean. Strange spell-check error?

I'm not a Christian, but I think that Protestant purity culture is a likelier culprit than Catholicism. Claims of moral pollution and calls for banning don't come from the pulpit, but from an "enlightened" public that can "think for itself."
Doing a quick HN search for "ukraine", then sorting by Date - stories are actually rather scarce (especially if you ignore ones with an obvious "drone" / "robot" / "cyber" in the title), and upvotes for stories are scarce too. I'll guess that darn few of 'em ever made it to HN's front page.

Also noteworthy - the Russia/Ukraine thing is pretty darn new, novel, and has major economic impacts on billions of people (thanks to food & energy prices).

The current behavior shows results for hurricane katrina, with a reasonably prominent link to search hurricane karina. Given (I’m assuming) is empirical evidence that the former was the intent a huge majority of the time, what’s unreasonable about this?

Haha, yeah. I've got you beaten now :D
There's another big factor at play: it's become increasingly easier to film yourself in combat and now encouraged by leadership for propaganda reasons.

I've been going to r/combatfootage everyday for the past ~3 years; it has exploded in popularity because like a lot of things in life, war is now recorded and disseminated wide. The ukraine war, specifically with drones outfitted with explosives, has shown this. GoPros seem almost standard for combat troops.

I have to imagine Israelis are learning about the conflict in realtime partly through the footage Hamas is releasing. The fact that footage is so unprecedented (fighters air gliding in, a Hamas reporter reporting from inside Israel) probably adds to the demand for this content.
They don’t always get scrapped - they often get sent out to another country, sold at a discount, fixed there.
Maybe don't name your methods as vaguely as "someMethod()", name it something like "Employee()", or "Missile()" depending on what is needed in the program. That way the vagueness of "someMethod()" doesn't cause unintended consequences.
With EVs this problem is getting a lot worse. In latest-gen EVs the battery pack is a stressed member of the frame. Any type of collision that distorts the frame will also imply a deformation of the battery module, which means instant write-off.

So if you think about it - if you first decide you need to go down the "structural battery" route to save cost and weight, you've already lost repairability if the frame is bent. Then moving to a cast frame doesn't really change anything.
Ok, an end of article marker is fine.

But it doesn't mean we need multiple code points meaning the same thing.

It's scam in that you're being enticed to mislead yourself.

You're ignoring the obvious difference between "legal tender" and electrons. Most children understand that "monopoly money" isn't real "legal tender" --- but you don't?

Those running the crypto "marketplace" don't suffer from these sort of delusions.
So why the write off nonsense. Just send it to a repair shop directly and if it cannot be repaired, then initiate a write off.

>Of course I want a source for that.

This makes me feel like you didn't read my replies. If you read even a little bit about the Iraqi Insurgency you wouldn't be asking for a source. It's on Wikipedia, a bunch of sources at the bottom. It's on other encyclopedia pages. Plenty of articles. Etc. I don't believe that you didn't find it.

>How are "we" supposed to be better then?

Who said anything about being better? I said the US has always supported civil rights. When the US helped AQ it was under the premise that they would support civil rights. When they didn't, the West labeled them terrorists.

>I find the civil right activism of the US questionable to say the least.

I see, but ISIS and AQ are deserving of awards in that department? That's laughable. These are groups that televise beheadings, and treat women worse than the West treats animals. And this is glamorized. Is anti civil rights behavior glamorized in the US? Of course not. The very definition of civil rights is at odds with non Western society. And that's true whether or not you believe that the US is committing acts outside those values. The point is, if it's done, then it's done in secret, which is at the least preventing its promotion in society.

>Am I supposed to feel better that it is supposedly worse in other countries...

Obviously. Less worse = better. Why would you want it to be worse? What did you mean by "supposedly?" Are you trying to sell me that AQ and ISIS treat women better than the US government treats its citizens? That's ridiculous. Does the US stone women for adultery? Jail women for showing their body? Amputate limbs for theft? You can't be seriously pushing for that to be called civil rights. Those are blatantly in opposition of civil rights. Those 100% are anti Western ideals.
If you read more than that post’s title, you will see that it’s calling for alternatives to deplatforming.
It makes me feel even better looking at accomplished peoples work. Seeing the whole thing come together, everyone's contributions that lead to works of art, science, engineering, etc.
It would make me feel shitty that "accomplished people" were standalone in their works, where no one along their life was ever helpful or interested or supported or bought their works.
It takes a village (or a planet/solar system/galaxy/universe worth of everything going right for a single accomplishment to have happened)
What the hell is "Camera Remote"?
Have linked to my StackExchange post above, but will copy the text below:

"So, while not doing anything on my phone or watch, I received this notification on my Apple Watch:

Photo of Apple Watch asking if I want to delete "Camera Remote"

I have some questions:

* What the hell is "Camera Remote"??
* Why would my Apple Watch randonmly ask me if I want to delete it, when my iPhone is sitting unused on my desk (I also wasn't interacting with my Apple Watch in any way)?

I hit "Cancel", I am on iOS 17.0.2 and watchOS 10.0.1.

Thanks"

Do I need to be worried??

Many of the features in modern programs didn’t exist in the 90’s not because they hadn’t been thought of but because people spent all their energy getting the first fifty features to work reliably. Every app had a couple cool features. Most of them are de rigeur now because we can.

Turning mine waste into healthy soil
It does not work that way at all - nowhere in Europe.

You have ranges, say from 0 to 100 you pay 10%, then for the amount above 100 up to 200, you pay 20%, then for the amount above 200 to 300 you pay 30% and so on (the numbers are all made up).

So when you get a raise from 100 to 150, you pay 10% on 100 (10) and 20% on 50 (10), so a total of 20. You get a net 150-20 = 130.

If it was the way it was described it would be insane.

There are also cases where the tax is flat and the same no matter the amount (usually not for salaried people)
He falls more towards the idiot savant side for me. Not because he was necessarily dumb, but he channeled his intelligence in such useless ways. All raw intellect, and no cohesion, theme or application.

I read his story as a cautionary tale, along with Euler, someone to be pitied.

Plato, Da Vinci, Einstein tried to make sense of the bigger picture. They grounded their intellect in the real world.
In general, it’s a reasonable assumption, in a developed country, that if you buy water in a shop it should be safe. The obvious liable parties here would be the manufacturer, maybe the retailer, maybe the relevant regulator, maybe the government (for not giving the regulators sufficient powers to deal with this sort of thing upfront). Dunno how you get to the _purchaser_ being liable.
Can you point to any references/examples of this? Not a challenge, but as an EV owner I didn't know this and I'm interested to learn more.
> I think Gödel had a proof for how it’s impossible to fully describe a system from within that system. That’s the nail in the coffin for AGI.

If it was a nail in the coffin for AGI, then humans, who have exactly the same limit, wouldn't count as a general intelligence.

While such a definition would be possible, I don't think it's useful.
In these studies advocating for the unyielding rigor of statically-typed languages, it's amusing that the authors choose to express their arguments in English: a language where "read" and "lead" rhyme, but "read" and "lead" don't. Perhaps a more consistent constructed language like Lojban would have better suited the papers' theses.

Specifically in the case of paperless-ngx, I use their export facility from a cron job. The export is plaintext and contains all the information needed to recreate the postgres db and the learned identifiers. In case of a disk failure (and I've had one with my paperless store), I just reimported the previous days backup from my offline backup of paperless' export.

There's a trend in academic writing, particularly in the humanities, where the author is clearly putting all of their effort into positioning themselves in a "field", relative to other "fields". I get a few paragraphs into these articles and then realize, "ah. This wasn't written for me, the reader. This was written by the author for the author." I've made the mistake of buying some books like this, from academic presses, and have been bored and disappointed.

I think I know what this particular essay is written in response to. A while back, I recall a few essays about the figure of the flaneur. They were written to problematize this activity, to emphasize the privilege of the flaneur, who expects to be able to go anywhere in the city without fear of harassment either by so-called "criminals" (whose expropriation of the flaneur's wealth may actually be just), or by the police who terrorize the marginalized communities on which the flaneur sets his gaze (and it is always a he -- spit).

(Obviously I am parodying these essays just a little in my last paragraph, but not very much.)

So this essay, by contrast, is seeking to rehabilitate the figure of the flaneur. Basically, because the author is trying to carve out a niche for themselves in academia, and in this niche they want to be able to identify with the flaneur without the moral opprobrium that's used within academia to take out competitors.

To say it again, they're just scared, looking for a niche, and engaging in some mimicry of the behavior they see around them. So I sympathize a little.

It's kind of a dumb game with small prizes, but if you've lived in academia all your life and that's all you know, then that's what you're going to do, just as surely as, if you've never known anything but a holler in West Virginia, you look for a job in the coal mine.
The point I’m making is that no matter what you do, a conspiracy theorist is going to twist the narrative to fit their world view.
"Dynamic typing" refers to types which can be determined only at runtime, not at compile time.

"Type inference" is what you're referring to, and is an optional feature of static type checkers. For instance, C has static types but no type inference, while C++ has static types with type inference. The concept of "type inference" doesn't make sense for dynamic typing.
Because Google doesn't know that I think, it's an an unfair perspective to pretend/assume it does.

It's nice to throw papers away without worrying about it. Or to archive instruction manuals for stuff I own - paperless is the first place I look (its search is nice).
Maybe batteries will get good enough (hence small enough) to not become a stressed part of the frame in the near future.

This would also lighten EVs, which has a tremendous number of benefits.

Well to get the owner of the written-off car installed into a new vehicle of course! With a whole new loan and likely a higher insurance premium esp. if they "upgraded" in the process.
I think any object/type system is good, as long as it doesn't encourage atrocities. I personally am guilty of implementing a fully-blown class-based inheritance system on top of Lua's metatables, and thank $DEITIES it didn't make it into any production project!

Nowadays if I write Lua, I mostly see metatables as a memory usage optimization. If you have thousands of small objects with many methods, and all of them share the same set of methods, it makes a lot of sense to have a single vtable, to save some memory. Otherwise I wouldn't bother, it's not like Lua lets you control struct member padding to ensure they fit in a single cache line.
Yes, fraud also exists when you use real currency, and your bank will refund you for fraudulent charges. What's your point?
In addition to the other recommendations in the thread, it may be useful to learn how the whole process works (KiCad, ordering or making PCBs, and assembling everything) with an even simpler circuit with just a few components. Making a simple battery + LED + resistor + switch circuit would involve learning almost the same amount about KiCad etc. as a more complicated circuit (within reason), with a lot less opportunity to be overwhelmed by component selection, PCB layout, etc. It would also be fairly cheap to make mistakes, since the PCB could be quite small and would probably cost only a few dollars even from a fairly high-end PCB manufacturer (I like OSH Park, but they can be expensive for large boards; see pcbshopper.com for price comparison).
I think having cast body be written off is preferable to having forever damaged car
Risk mostly. Many of the vehicles won't be repairable and will just go to the scrap yard. Some will appear to repairable but after some effort end up scrapped too. And some will be repairable but only by guys who specialize in such things and have customers willing to buy a retitled salvage vehicle. For the insurance company, it's not worth the effort and added risk. That someone else can make some money off the missed margin isn't a big deal to the insurance company.
i can't imagine what insurance company premiums are going to be when they figure out how much they're going to be paying out for each incident with one of these.
Better yet, avoid methods and classes when possible in favor of functions that act on data structures, which live in contextual directories and can be renamed so as to avoid confusion.
Too hard to sell

Because it wouldn’t be economic to repair it to “good as new” status.

The people who buy salvage titled cars are usually happy to drive a car that doesn’t work quite right if they get a killer deal for it.
