There was a university that received a bomb threat over Tor. They found one student who used Tor on the network at around the right time, and because he was the only Tor user, he’s in jail for a very, very long time. That kid was at Harvard, his persuer the FBI.

I like how the graph shows "-37% Health Insurance" but the figures aren't quoted in the text of the article.

> Electronics such as televisions, cell phones and computers continually get better. Consumers get more for roughly the same amount of money, which shows up as a price decline in the CPI data. Health insurance, which falls in the "services" side of the U.S. economy, is similar.

That's as close as they could get
Some UK stores have a "scan as you go" system: scan with a handheld or even your phone each item as it goes in, then just self-check the whole lot in one go with (usually) no further checks. Although this has been broken at my local store for a while, and I wonder if that's more widespread and/or a reaction to shoplifting.

Early self checkout machines had a lot of fiddly things that could go wrong, but the Walmart near me easily has the most forgiving machines I've used.

Maybe stores that experience more theft keep the restrictions tighter?
No, I, like most Americans, just find it incredibly insulting to be lectured to about how “poorly [we] understand the ACA” after having spent untold hours dealing with all its nonsense, spending absurd amounts of money to be denied care, lied to and be given the run around by insurance companies, often during some of the most challenging moments in our lives. Likewise, I find it completely obnoxious when the same people describe themselves as working in “healthcare,” while directly profiting from the denial of it to others, often illegally, because they know the people they’re screwing don’t have the time and resources to fight back. Apologies for speaking so plainly, but if any of this is somehow surprising to you, you should wake up.

I’m super curious about the data structure that’s being extracted from the image and fed to GPT.

I asked it to estimate the size of a figurine based on a ruler in the image, and it nailed it.

At first I just thought it was able taking an array of objects identified in the photo with bounding box coordinates and then just figuring out what the answer is.

But then i asked it to describe Worf’s hands in this image and it did a great job.

Socks, a matching game based on an additive combinatorics problem
Take this with the bias of a grumpy SRE/DBRE.

The only reason to not support JOINs is because of the added complexity. However, since ORMs are supposed to (among other things) reduce the complexity for the user, not the DB, this seems like a poor decision.

There are other ORMs for the JS world. I can't imagine that they're all so much worse than Prisma as to render them non-choices.

> outweigh the need for joins

At toy scale, sure, it doesn't matter. Nothing matters - you can paginate via OFFSET/LIMIT (something else I've seen Prisma unexpectedly do) and still get moderately acceptable query latency. It's embarrassing, though, and will not scale to even _moderate_ levels. A simple SELECT, even one with a few JOINs (if they're actually being performed in the DB) should be executed in sub-msec time in a well-tuned DB with a reasonable query. In contrast, I've seen the same taking 300-500 msec via Prisma due to its behavior.

> especially if you don’t have a ton of referentiality

Then frankly, don't use RDBMS. If what you want is a KV store, use a KV store. It will perform better, be far simpler to maintain, and better meets your needs. There's nothing wrong with that: be honest with your needs.
That's a mischaracterization of what the letter said. It explicitly said that Israel was entirely responsible for the unfolding violence.

That's the cause of the backlash since while it can be acceptable to say that what Israel has been doing to Palestinians is wrong, nothing should justify terrorism.

If you're saying that Israel deserves all the blame, you're saying Hamas is blameless, thus supporting Hamas.

IMO it's messed up that this is going to follow those kids for many years in their careers, but on the other hand, most of these kids have probably harassed others with the "free speech isn't freedom of consequences" bs too.
I some times make the following observation:

When I was 15, I thought I had grown up quite a lot and looked back on my 10-year old self as someone who was just getting started.

When I was 20, I thought I had grown up quite a lot and looked back on my 15-year old self as someone who was just getting started.

When I was 25, I thought I had grown up quite a lot and looked back on my 20-year old self as someone who was just getting started.

When I was 30, I thought I had grown up quite a lot and looked back on my 25-year old self as someone who was just getting started.

Now that I'm 37, I think I have finally grown up and my 30-year old self was just getting started. But I recognize that my 42-year old self will probably look back on me and still see the same pattern.
Absolutely not. But if anything bad happens, or you are attending a protest and suddenly getting investigated for rioting, you might have second thoughts.

I do not condone or endorse illegal activity. That does not mean your use of GrapheneOS might not be used against you if you use it at an inopportune time. There is currently almost no discussion online about this, so it’s worth a mention.

Edit: I forgot to mention some obvious context in my head. Think journalist, in Russia, using GrapheneOS for “safety.” In such a situation, probably a terrible idea.

> “We, the undersigned student organizations, hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence,”

Not with that wording, it isn't.

Plus for what's worth I spent the past week researching stuff about Gaza, and my opinion went from "yeah, the Israeli are definitely jerks here" to "this whole mess happens because a minority of palestinians just refuse to admit they lost". Which sounds like an admirable thing, except surrender is what makes societies function. Take away surrender, and all fight is to the death. I stopped blaming Israel.

World War II was in practice not a choice. The timing is a choice. But basically once Hitler controls Germany, it's going to invade its neighbours and it's going to win, and the UK only has a choice of whether and where to fight - if it won't fight it becomes at best a client state, taking orders from Hitler's Germany under threat of invasion once the Germans control mainland Europe. Eventually it will be under German control de facto.

For example, as a party to the war, Britain's navy is of course entitled to fire upon German vessels, or ostensibly neutral vessels clearly operating under German control, in the strait. This capability makes Sea Lion (amphibious invasion of Britain) essentially suicide, German troop barges would be destroyed by British Navy vessels, and even if some of the British vessels are damaged or destroyed in the process the manpower losses for Germany are devastating. However if Britain is not a party to the war, those troop barges can just cross the strait unmolested, with no naval support - right up until the troops disembark and begin seizing control of British ports.

I wouldn't say that that's a performance tuning, seniority, or even smart people problem. I've seen smart people blindy tuning knobs. Similarly, switching to an expensive O(1) algorithm for a tiny space. It beats me, but I think the problems are closer to lazyness or trying to discredit something.
I found the misconception useful because it prompted me to invest time in improving my diet in my 20s, before it was too late. Even if my metabolism has stayed the same since then, the no-vegetables-or-fruits approach would have caught up with me at the same time "low metabolism" would.

It can vary depending on the time of day - I've certainly been to stores early or late in the day and where all the checkouts have been closed and there's just one member of staff near the self checkouts.
Maybe not zero, but I’ve definitely noticed grocery stores pushing customers to self checkout. For example, having two of the 10 regular checkout lines open is pretty much the same as having none open.

My personal experience of knowing an author's environment is my time in the 80's at the University of Leeds where the comp sci department had a small out-building where the Ph.D students had some office space. This was one of the few remaining old terrace-type buildings that had survived the modern re-development of the Uni and according to local legend was the building where JRR Tolkien had an office when he was a reader in the English dept. at Leeds. We always felt that this was where Tolkien got the inspiration for the danker bits of the Mines of Moria. I also used to visit the park area in Meanwood where some claimed Tolkien was inspired by the large holly trees as an inspiration for Hollin. I later moved to Bournemouth where Tolkien lived in retirement. His house there was totally uninspiring suburban.

I'm also reminded of the old joke about a uni that had a building dedicated to authors, known locally as 'Writers Block'.

Cyberpunk at 1440p, 75Mbit/s and 120hz/fps feels pretty darn responsive, streaming in from GeForce Now. A local rig will beat it of course, can't cheat lights peed, but if you're close to a datacenter the added lag is negligible, especially if you can get the video stream at 120hz.
The neural cost of vision is relevant to those who wear vision-correcting glasses, e.g. what's the neural impact of choosing to have non 20/20 vision in some daily situations? Or altering the duty cycle of the eye?

> when our eyes are open, our vision accounts for two-thirds of the electrical activity of the brain – a full 2 billion of the 3 billion firings per second – which was the finding of neuroanatomist R.S. Fixot in a paper published in 1957 .. half of all neural tissue deals with vision in some way.

> According to John Medina in his book Brain Rules, in the fight for more neural real estate that’s going on between our olfactory cortex and the visual cortex, vision is winning. He writes: “about 60 percent of our smell-related genes have been permanently damaged in this neural arbitrage, and they are marching toward obsolescence at a rate fourfold faster than any other species sampled.”
content has become language model fodder. your comment is as much an instruction to “lie” as anything else. it reinforces the idea far more directly than more-than-misguided attempts at helping poor prompters produce meaningful output. (which is necessary for customer acquisition, of course.)

They are holding the Israeli gov't responsibile for the violence that is to come in Gaza in the next days (already started). Your argument that surrender is what makes societies function is absolutely wrong, otherwise it would be applicable in places like Ukraine.

I wonder if these "Thank you"s are actually reaching the inference servers. While the answers are somewhat customized, they end with a standard sentence, and considering that not much of value is added, the resource consumption for being this polite may be something which should be avoided.

> AP classes are meant to be college-level classes.

They are high school classes at an honors level that may generate college credit. A two on the exam is deemed “possibly qualified” to skip a year of college, for example, but colleges won’t take it. Many won’t take the three score’s “qualified” either.

For purposes of your GPA and high school physics, that’s not a D.

The AP physics exam gives you a 5 if you miss like half the questions, too. That doesn’t fit a ten point GPA scale very well.

Just have it run in addition to the engine.

You still reduce fuel use, don't need to change any other parts to work without the engine.

Some locations of Target (US supermarket) have started disabling self-checkout at 8pm, and also limiting self checkout to 10 items or less. So they are literally de-automating their process. Not sure but it seems to do with theft - they have also started locking up or electronically tagging certain items as well.

I think this is probably because the "Target philosophy" is they dont want customers to go through the trauma of the Walmart experience, nor others around them to have to witness it. Target never checked receipts, I've heard they just silently record everything on video (they have dozens of cameras all over the store) and ban you once you've stolen X amount of stuff. I guess that wasn't quite cutting it so they have moved back to cashier checkout.
Compression artifacts, spotty connections etc. all of those can be issues with remote gaming. What is never an issue is framerate or graphical fidelity (minus video compression artifacts), which makes sense, considering you tend to have a nice machine remotely that plays your game (e.g. a 4080 on GeForce Now).

Where's the hate for valve's anticheat being buggy and too aggressive and unable to identify benign code from cheating code?

I'd be happy to argue the semantics of the mistakes made by AMD, and I probably could be convinced they fucked up.

IMO, if your accusations can "ruin lives" (even if it is just a gaming life) you don't get to make mistakes if you're going to ignore them until it's convenient to.

I get hostile at self-checkout regardless.

It’s slower (even without the errors), all the errors are infuriating making it even slower, and I should receive a discount for the labor I employed doing someone else’s job. This is on top of being annoyed that I’m in the self-checkout to begin with because they have 10% of the regular lanes open… if someone then stopped me and accused me of stealing I’d just ask for a full refund…

> For good reason. Unions pool workers' interests against the opposing interests of the employer; which means for public unions, they go against the interests of the public at large. There are countless examples of this.

Or against the politicians / political class. And given the amount of gerrymandering that goes on in the US, whether the elected politicians actually accurately represent the public at large is debatable.
