Prop 22 was contrary to the interests of professional drivers, but probably in line with the interests of riders who benefit from drivers being exploited. When push comes to shove, a whole lot of people choose cheap service over their publicly espoused principles.

For evidence of this, consider how many suburban boomers are eager to hire illegal immigrants to do lawn work around their McMansion for less than minimum wage. Most would probably tell you that minimum wage laws are good or that illegal immigrants should be deported (one or the other, depending on what side of the aisle they're on...) but when push comes to shove they both choose the lowest bidding contractor to do their yardwork. After all, they aren't yard-workers, just like most Californians aren't uber drivers.
Commitment to a bad idea
>the European Commission is probably the worse that we can have. It is totally corrupted (see the vice president with bags of cash given by the Qatar and co) or at least morally corrupted by lobbies.

Euroskepticism is a virus, but OTOH the Five Stars had a good idea: politics should not be a profession.

I'd love to see more folks do good work then pivot to entertainment if they want bags of Qatari cash in a way that doesn't involve destabilization
It is not only that. Kai's power goo had the best resize algorithm i have ever seen.
Doesn't seem so, just checked Chur -> Zürich HB, for Sunday "SBB Mobile" offers a ICE starting from Chur at 12:35. Basel SBB -> Zürich also offers ICE connections.
AFAIK there are less ICE trains running in Switzerland due to the issues, but the remaing ones still seem to appear in the trip planner.

Well, yes and no. The 386 is chugging through the stream of instructions sequentially, unlike modern processors. There are various clever optimizations, though. First, there is some pipelining, so the microcode for the next instruction can execute while the previous one is finishing. Second, the CPU has 16 bytes of prefetching, so instructions are fetched from memory asynchronously from their execution. So you know what instructions are executed and in what order, but the timing is fairly unpredictable.

I should mention that microcode in the 386 is pretty different from micro-ops that modern processors run. They both break machine instructions down into smaller steps. But microcode runs sequentially, while micro-ops are sort of tossed into the CPU and run independently through a dataflow engine, with everything sorted out at the end to look sequential. Confusingly, modern processors use "microcode" to hold the micro-ops for complicated instructions that can't be handled by the regular instruction decoder; this is sort of like old-style microcode, but not exactly.
What keeps you from being employed as a store clerk or something like that? Is it citizenship issues?

Have you tried remote work sites, or something like upwork? Is there an unemployment office near you? It might even be your location, per my understanding jobs are more abundant in urban or close-to-urban areas, but require having a car or housing in that area. What if you secured a job first via an unemployment office (don't mention activism stuff, or political stuff), and then apply for something like housing for low-income folk? Just some suggestions.

I suggest doing odd jobs for the couple helping you, as it might at least help them understand you're not exploiting them. Good luck.

Edit: not sure if the tone of my message is coming out right, but its not meant to be judgmental or challenging you :)
I'd say a move like this would be more of a Lamborghini thing, but hey!
Of course, in some countries you have lack of important freedoms, which says a lot about their state of democracy. However if your country gives you a choice, consider using it in order to not lose it.

It's nice to know that I'm somewhat famous. I never suggested that running banking apps on GNU/Linux phones was as easy as on Android forks (however, reportedly it is possible for some banks). I meant other daily tasks of course.
Whoever ends up with that other coin is screwed. Because it’s traceable back to the theft and so subject to forfeiture even if he was a bona fide purchaser for value, which he isn’t in this case.
You just gave an example of the "cleverness trap" to which the tech industry is especially susceptible. Good laws are written to avoid what could be called legal "hacks." If it looks like workers coordinating, it is. If it looks like they got fired for it, that's illegal.
The law is bad but spouting off incorrect nonsense like this only makes you look unhinged. Everything you said is just completely made up.
One benefit with Thunderbird. It's still saying the exact date and time (knock on wood). If it's today, it only says time, anything else you get full date and time.
The problem is that you can't easily and objectively factor the user experience. CPU are easy to benchmark — and do honestly factor a lot in the pricing.
Android (the OS) development is payed for by other means, and the hardware line is kind of a vanity project.

People may, or may not prefer the Android experience. That's not relevant here.

What does morality have to do with it? If the climate is changing in a way that's bad, we need to do something about it. We'd need to do something about it even if it were natural. The problem with climate change is not moral, it's that it will make it harder for people to live and kill people and so on.
I still don't understand how crypto mixers are supposed to work. Surely if you dump stolen crypto into a mixer with other bitcoins then all of it can and should be treated as tainted.
Tax collection requires surveillance. But surveillance is usually skipped on people you exempt from taxes anyway. because you can’t nail them for tax evasion if there are no taxes to evade.
Does anyone know what guarantees Rust functions have regarding escape analysis? In particular, is the `x` reference in `fn foo(x: &T)` guaranteed to not outlive the function, or would it be legal for `foo` to `transmute()` it into a `&'static T` and have to escape into a global?
Ferrari sells around 10k cars per year, they already are in a weird niche. Maybe they understand their business better than you do.

Speed. This climate change is happening faster than any other climate change event short of a volcanic eruption or a meteor, both of which also generally result in mass death. (Krakatoa is associated with years of famine.)

It is easier to adjust over hundreds of years than decades or less.
It looks like there isn't a revanced patch for that yet, but I bet there will be soon.

How would you prove to me that you don’t still have the key for your old wallet?
I haven’t, but it’s an ORM so an automatic no. We tested 6 ORMs before deciding that plain SQL with introspection was the way to go. No regrets.

The European Parliament who approves the laws is directly elected. And as noted by sibling, the Commission indirectly also is.
I always laugh when I see this being touted as the WFH justification as if these minor cost savings actually factor at all. Rent maybe …but coffee, energy, and custodial costs? Pittance.
The effects like background blur and “studio light” substantially improve the practical performance of the webcam and do so across all apps that capture video. The reactions are funny/annoying but as a whole the new video effect feature is the biggest improvement for me in this OS update - I’m on video calls every day sometimes in mediocre light and appreciate how much better I come through with “studio light” tuning the exposure of my face. I was considering spending $$$ on a fancy new webcam, but now I don’t feel the need.
Come on. Painting crypto like some way to bypass sanctions is just laughtable when neither EU nor US have a balls to sanction enough people and enforce any of sanctions. No one of substance is on sanction lists yet and those who are don't need to bust anything. They'll just fly to Dubai and buy their Ferrari here. Or just ask one of their countless relatives living in EU or US to do it for them.

The only people with Russian passport who actually use crypto is refugees who have no access to banking system in EU or someone who want to pay for their Netflix or buy some games on Steam.

PS: Only around 1,000 people are under personal sanctions by US when have to be 7000+:

And this list not include all their countless families living in US or EU using the money they stolen in Russia and laundered in west.
That’s total gibberish. It’s not easy but it’s absolutely possible to amend EU legislation. It works in exactly the same way as the UK: by enacting new legislation.
Look at the management boards of German transport and telco companies in the past twenty+ years. Scrape it together. Check previous positions and countries and so on. That's enough for a fun start. Build your knowledge graph from there. Or rather let an AI have the fun and you just watch the pathetic mess unfold.
Unfortunately? It's rather fortunate that that's not the case, as man is fallible and the law is not absolute.
> LLMs couldn't possibly have a world model

I'm not asserting that they "couldn't possibly". I'm asserting that they don't--as in, none of the LLMs we have today have a world model. Perhaps someone might invent a different something in the future that they call an "LLM" that does have a world model, but no such thing exists now.

> that confidence is based on intuition, not on any empirical observations

No, it's not based on either of those. It's based on the explicit descriptions of how existing LLMs work by the people who made them. Their descriptions make clear that LLMs are just confabulating text based on a given prompt and their training data. The LLM doesn't make any connection at all between the text and anything else.

Contrast, for example, with Wolfram Alpha. If you give Wolfram Alpha the prompt "What is the distance from New York to Tokyo", it doesn't confabulate text based on that prompt and some corpus of training data. It first parses the text and infers that the correct response involves a lookup in its geographic database (note that you can skip this step by explicitly selecting the particular tool that does this); then it does the lookup; then it renders the response into text form and outputs it. That is what having a (rudimentary) world model looks like. LLMs do nothing of the sort.
If there was would it matter? Why do you want a connection?
My theory is that trolls/bots work together to get this content to the front page and keep it there. If you pay attention you'll notice Snowden, CIA, FBI, NSA, or adjacent topics on the front page daily with a corresponding political flame war.

You need permitting to do anything in a developed country.
Meh. You should be able to get to the date, but relative times are super useful. Especially as inputs. And realize relative dates are calendar specific. Last week could be just 12 hours ago.

If I want a picture we took, odds are high I will have a fuzzy recollection of when. At this point, "last decade," is probably pretty useful.
activity levels almost certainly. uni it's not impossible you were walking over 12k steps a day. that's 3-400 calories over the average american's daily steps of 4000.
What inspired the author to write this? Just a JKR fan?
Yup, agreed. I came hear looking for this one. Whenever I need a timestamp in GitHub I need the exact time. I always have to hover to get the info I need.
Like what? What's the ML performance on this chip? Can it help with game? Or apps I'll use everyday? Does it improve the web experience? The last one depends largely on those CPU benchmark...

I want to be pragmatic here. Coprocessor were all the rage for the Amiga, then were out out of the loop, and were back for with the GPU. A bit like we're back to the mainframe experience with Kubernetes and all (don't throw tomatoes at me ;))
They should be embarrassed because Switzerland assumed the Italian part would be the one not finished on time and even helped a bit financially on that side to make sure it gets done. No one ever thought the Germans were incapable of getting it done. They are still buying land! Meanwhile Switzerland dug the longest train tunnel in the world. Italy is completely done as well and cargo imports are now shifting to the south instead of through the north.
One time I tried to gain weight just to check if I was able to, as I have been unable to gain any significant weight in a variety of situation (sport, not sport; young, not that young, better/worse diet). I ate a calorie surplus diet (I don't remember the exact numbers, it was a few years ago), which meant eating more than usual but not too much either. This was measuring calories, weighting everything, all the drill; meanwhile I wasn't doing exercise other than walking/biking to places. Again, I don't recall the numbers but I gained maybe 10% of what I was supposed to gain. I've also seen how eating the exact same as other people (sometimes more) results in the other person gaining weight and me losing it, despite the differences in exercise being fairly irrelevant.
LinkedIn is probably the only one that don’t belong on that list.
That’s not why it won’t work, the reason is even more fundamental: most people won’t want to do it because it’s a fucking hard job that puts you in the limelight.

The semantic web and advertising web aren't mutually exclusive. The issue is that the advertising web, which optimizes for human attention, is necessarily going to get more human attention.

I read "no fridge, no heating, no AC" and immediately realized something.

Like, I applaud the dedication, and I hope you find this life fulfilling, but you can't expect _everyone_ to be able to live like that. And not even from a "but some people _neeeed_ sports cars" or other indefensible position, but I mean just from a purely practical position.

You very clearly live in a climate that allows for that. There are _billions_ of people who don't, or won't, shortly, no matter what we do. Heck, you might not live in a climate that will allow for that in the near future.

Again, not to shit on what you're doing, it's honestly interesting and like another commenter said, if you have a blog (maybe solar powered on some upcycled laptop-turned-server?), I'd be interested to read it. But all your choices are personal choices, and they are _really_ low-impact in the grand scheme of things. Even personal swimming pools aren't really moving any appreciable needle, we need broad, sweeping, systemic changes to really make an impact.

Somehow passing regulation to get a large industry to clean up its energy usage or reduce its waste by even 1% is likely going to do more than somehow convincing everyone in the world to give up electric toothbrushes. Please don't feel like I'm telling you to give up on what you're doing! But if you feel like you have any extra energy to try to change public opinion on things, well, I'd prefer if we could get around to the high-impact stuff first, is all.
The same situation in Sweden. My assumption is that German train operators maximize profit. So they calculate. Either run trains on time, have redundant train sets in nearby depots, have locomotive drivers on standby in case one gets sick (not an uncommon reason for delays). Or don't have any redundancy at all and hand out refunds and gift vouchers to the passengers affected by delays. Also make the claims system as Byzantine as possible to make it difficult for passengers to make claims. Think it's an easy choice for most operators.
That's also completely canceled out by enjoying a single 32oz soda. Walking a lot and having a bad diet rarely even each other out. And it's so easy to cancel it out I don't think most people realize. A brisk 2km walk burns less calories than are consumed when eating two regular Oreos.
At most, it would be something like "our examples work, and we can provide support". I've never seen things like "IDE does not crash" written into contracts.
Dotted underlines are an old convention for "there's a tooltip here". Don't see it often anymore though.
To have a well-working democracy, you need well-informed citizens. Disinformation undermines that. In this case the disinformation serves the purpose of gathering support for surveillance laws.
Looking at the die, I'd say roughly 1/3 of the die is standard cell. I think some of it was standard cell but with hand layout, rather than automatic place and route. About 1/4 is the datapath, which is highly optimized. Maybe 10% is the microcode ROM.
It’s quite different to target an innocent civilian and another to destroy a hospital because that’s where hamas launches rockets from.

Intent matters quite a bit.

When Hamas stars criminally prosecuting its soldiers for killing and raping civilians then you can start talking about how Israel and Hamas are similar.

But equating Israel incidentally causing civilian deaths with Hamas purposely is not helpful to the conversation.
I believe it's typical for database libraries with auto-prepare to also have batch statement sending (and use it for prepare-executes), so there's no real cost to doing the prepare. The database has to parse/plan the statement regardless, and there's no round-trip delay with statement batching.

Each transaction points to inputs and outputs. If you make a future transaction with part of the dirty transaction as input, then it is dirty. If you make a transaction that only has the clean one as an input, then it’s still clean.

The coins are fungible, but they don’t get mixed up until they share a transaction.

Living a non-conforming lifestyle is completely fine, from a position of power. But from a position of desperation (eg, homelessness, joblessness, etc) it is far more advisable to try to conform more to whatever local standards exist for you - in terms of style of hair, clothes, speech, etc - and completely drop anything controversial such as political activism.

Extract from excellent Linux foundation explanation page:

> The Act's stance on donations, even from non-commercial sources, could inadvertently discourage larger contributions. And an organization that develops open source may be disincentivized to release projects as OSS or contribute to OSS in the first place. After all, the CRA would just increase the legal risk of open sourcing a project, incentivizing companies to keep more software proprietary and closed.

If this passes in current form, we will have less open source software. A lot of such software is available in community and enterprise versions. The community versions will become a liability. You have to take extra expenses and a legal risk (5 million minimum) for... mostly nothing.

Who the hell will pay for Linux kernel audits? Nobody earns money from Linux kernel directly. Most people use free distributions, will they be banned, will you have to shove money into Red Hat (aka IBM these days) mouth?

Europe Commision either doesn't understand it, or they understand it and do it on purpose/don't care. Most people who support it don't understand software either and treat it as a hardware, or an Amazon package. Stop. Software, especially OSS, doesn't work like that. And without the competition from OSS, oh boy, believe me, you will used like in the "good" old IE only Microsoft EEE days.

I'm a European citizen, by the way, and I'm not happy about the EU in recent times, especially the Commision. This combined with Chat Control...

Software is (was?) where you could go from 0 to something by yourself. This will end it. You don't go to a million in a day. If you earn several hundreds in a month, having a 5 million liability just doesn't make sense. That's 5 LIFETIMES of income in my area. This will be considered as speculation, but I think that is the point of this. Big boys only. I don't believe Commision is stupid.

There are people who are congratulating giving up individual freedoms... This makes me feel depressed...

It’s similar to how when I travel overseas, I have local currency in my account & that gets converted to local currency through an intermediary as I pay.

The intermediary usually charges a small fee. I only see local currency exit my account, and the seller only sees their local currency enter theirs.
Sure... earth's climate has naturally fluctuated throughout its history. However, the current rate of change is unprecedented in human history... The key difference between natural climate change and human-induced climate change is the speed at which it's happening. Natural climate changes, like ice ages, occur over thousands of years, giving ecosystems time to adapt. Climate change we're experiencing now is happening over years leaving little time for adaptation. The question of morality isn't about whether climate change is unique to human activity, but about our responsibility as stewards of the planet. Our actions are causing harm to ecosystems, wildlife, and our own communities at a rate that is far from normal. The planet might have experienced similar changes in the distant past, the rapidity of current changes and the harm they're causing is what makes this a moral (and our) issue...
