Even in average cities like Melbourne, you don't have to know a schedule at all. Trains run every few minutes most of the day. You just show up and get on.
You should go get that money, dude. Life's too short to waste it all working

Pick a FAANG you don't feel too bad about, hit the LeetCode hard for a few months, then go work there for 5 years. You can save up $750k+, which is enough to leave Silicon Valley and eke out a barebones retirement somewhere in the real world (~$30k/year at a 4% safe withdrawal rate)
I have an InReach Mini that I use when I go offshore fishing, where I'm out of cell range by 40 miles or more. The Mini is nice, when it works. Most messages I send take 15-20 minutes to send, and the delay is even longer on receiving most of the time. And that's in the middle of a large body of water with no obstruction of the sky.

I've been waiting with bated breath since the announcement of Starlink in the hopes that it could knock out the three satellite services I use the most: InReach Mini for text comms and location sharing, XM Radio, and XM Weather.

I'm really looking forward to when this becomes available for individuals and not just businesses. Also really looking forward to 12v Starlink equipment and affordable marine plans.
Go lost its simplicity and became yet another mediocre programming language after adding generics :( All these non-trivial type inference rules are needed only for serving useless generics in Go. And these rules do not cover many edge cases yet, so they will become more complex over time.
The Vampire series? Yes
It still is a quite useful filter, as without it most fields would be even more overwhelmed. As a reviewer, have you seen what garbage gets submitted sometimes? There are incentives to attempt to get garbage published, so throwing out a significant part of submissions does add quite a lot of value to readers, so that they get at a somewhat curated list of papers from that journal or conference.

And while all you say is true, it's probably the most we can get for free in a reasonable amount of time; requiring an independent lab to repeat an experiment would generally be far more delay and cost than we'd accept, other researchers do generally want to see the outcome as soon as the first experiment is documented; and there are people doing great research which won't bother to submit if they'd have to pay for the replication - it's generally the bad research that has motivation to spend more money for a publication. The general public might want to wait for extra confirmation, but they're not the target audience of research papers, those are intended as communication by researchers for researchers. And also quite a few media outlets would disagree and probably prefer grabbing up hot rumors even earlier, even if they turn out to be false afterwards.
Off topic, delete if necessary, but how far off is smellovision TV or VR, is that an idea of the past?
It's not that they won't be "capable of doing" it, it's that the effort required will be more than they care to put into solving a problem they can't sympathise with and/or isn't a requirement handed down from their boss. App developers have to jump through all sorts of technical hooks to get certain things done, but since their jobs depend on it, they power though. If "work reliably even in shit network conditions" was a baseline requirement that their jobs depended on, you bet they'd find a way.

As for how hard it actually is: iOS has already been explained, the Android emulator has network latency and speed simulation right in the GUI, as do most web browsers. And there's alway the option to switch your phone to 2G only in the settings and/or go into the basement or elevator.
I think the article is unclear. The pattern is to create a pipe and hook that up to stdin.
So, since it was always in principle possible that the streets of every city, town, and village could be flooded by millions of newsies, all hocking editions of a variety of newspapers that had all just began publishing that day, we should do nothing now that it is actually possible in practice?

I'm not saying I know what the solution actually is, but denying that there even is a problem, or that the existing guidelines were designed with the above scenario in mind, is just preposterous to me.
The best way to allow multiple submissions while amortizing the review work is to make reviews (and rebuttals) public, and overlay them on submissions made public on some preprint server.

This establishes priority (if credit is a concern), can be made blind / double-blind if so desired, and also makes public the reviews (which are as much a public service as writing research papers). Which editorial boards “accept” the paper for publication is then simply a matter of collecting endorsement tags on the submission.
I have a fiber connection, the space and the experience to run a Mac mini colo. If people are really interested. I would want to do it as a co-operative that helps with the expense of the physical location.
Ok, impressive!

What are real world use cases for 7B family of models? Is anyone using them for anything productive?
The Amiga could display more colors than that with copper hacks though. Look at Shadow of the Beast.
Updated my Pixel 5 last night, everything went just fine.

GrapheneOS updates have been pretty much seamless, no real surprises or issues over many many years, and I hope many more to come. I used to maintain my own fork of LineageOS a long time ago, but since switching, I have been extremely satisfied with their software -- it's boring and I want exactly that for a security product.

Will be looking to a Pixel 8 once the 5 is EoL, and will be going right to GrapheneOS.

To the Graphene devs and all involved in the project; thank you!
with fast ram. That pretty much means additional accelerator card because Commodore didnt bother to build fast ram memory controller into the thing. You couldnt just slap some simms or ram chips on a card, you needed additional logic. Cheapest contemporary Fast Ram cards were ~100 pounds + ~30 pounds a meg, half the cost of 270 pound Amiga A1200 in 1994. You could argue it still cheaper than PC, lets count.

A1200 bare system £276 https://archive.org/details/cuamiga-magazine-050/page/n28/mo...

4-8MB fast ram £200-400 https://archive.org/details/cuamiga-magazine-050/page/n49/mo...

340MB £380 pounds https://archive.org/details/cuamiga-magazine-050/page/n28/mo...

14 multisync monitor ~£320 https://archive.org/details/cuamiga-magazine-050/page/n52/mo...

~£1200-1400. 1994 £/$ exchange rate 1.55 = $1860-2170. To quote a classic I feel like Im taking crazy pills.

Yeah that TLS handshake is an absolute killer if you run it for every request.
Is Psychology Good for Anything?
Normally if the process group leader dies the system will send SIGHUP to all the members of the process group. The default behavior is to exit. So on Unix systems the first process calls setpgrp() and becomes the leader of a new process group. All of its children will, by default, be members of the group, and their children, and so on. When the leader dies they'll all get SIGHUP and die as well. They have the option (if needed) to ignore that signal or spawn their own process group.

Session leaders are similar in some ways. When a session leader dies SIGHUP is sent to all members of that session's foreground process group and its controlling tty is released but IIRC it doesn't do anything about background process groups. (Session leaders control this with tcsetpgrp()).

World of Warcraft was a third place for me and my friends, and for some of my internet friends as well. The game itself offered low-intensity, low-attention interactions too, like fishing, and we would combine these activities with just hanging out, but online. It's one of the most memorable things for me from my time in that game, and that's surely because of how important this function is socially.
If you actually watched the video, you would see Wendell actually knows what he is talking about.
Until Wing Commander came out, mostly yes.
Venmo is owned by PayPal. You were probably thinking of Zelle, a similar service owned by several banks.

Many of the banks that own Zelle have it built into their banking apps, so if you use one of those you may have Zelle access without any extra credential entering.
I agree. It needs to simulate a phone right on the edge of connectivity, with the random 5 second dropouts, followed by 50 Mbps but downstream only, followed by another dropout, followed by 1kbps up and down, etc.

That's the way real networks behave, and what real users have to manage with.
It's customary to announce such changes ahead of time. BuildKite made an announcement the last time they made a major change to their plans, per another commenter.

I haven't found any announcement for this change, hence I think "quietly" isn't an unfair description.
> ensure a regulatory climate that Elon will loathe

Why is that a data point and why are you convinced it will be true? I get that people somehow feel "betrayed" by the man, but this presenting this type of analysis taints the rest of your outlook.

Anyways.. he has the monopoly, he can set whatever price he wants. Common carrier doesn't mean you have to give it away at some imputed "commodity" price. I'm sure he'll find a way to make it work.
What about the voice and data they have planned for 2025?
If you run off ethernet the latency isn't much of an issue (20ms maybe)... maybe not good for super competitive gaming, but I've never noticed any issue even with more competitive games as the network latency (game to server, not streaming) masks any input latency without problem.
I tremendously enjoy Craig Mod's writing. I like to save up a few dozen of his newsletters and then spend a couple of hours reading them back-to-back, especially his huge walks in Japan. I find it very transportive, like I'm there with him despite having never been. I'm from the UK though, so this is also very cool!

I'm sorry but you are dangerously wrong.

Not only are there enormous protections with the mis-use of one's credit card, but the 'password'/card number is randomly generated and not used elsewhere.

A regular person is quite likely to reuse their favourite password for their bank login and therefore expose most of their other services when Plaid is inevitably hacked, or more likely, when someone pretends to be Plaid with typosquatting and the user has learned that giving passwords away is OK.
The formula is what the master says you get paid.

BigQuery initially was a lot more powerful, then they started adding a bunch of resource limits on queries that you could only overcome by paying up. Not a direct fee increase, rather you paid the same fee for a worse product.
Carshares don't imply that the end users are liable for the upkeep financially, they just need to flag the issues to the car club, or at least that's how I've seen it be implemented in all the car clubs I've used.

To start off, smoking in the car is not allowed. If they detect dog hair and can deduce who introduced it, the user will be banned. If someone left it with less than either a quarter or a half a tank of fuel, the offender gets reprimanded or ultimately banned. Minor incidents and maintenance items are taken care of on a complaint basis - once a user complains, the company fixes it. Eventually. It's not as bad as you're making it out to be.
Optimization and hardware tricks
> Comparing smartphone and camera is really apples to oranges at this point, as smartphones aren't even capturing photos, they're entirely repainting scenes.

Calm down, it's not that bad. Take for example night sight or astrophotography; it's using ML to intelligently stitch together light across time because available light in one moment is not enough to capture anything intelligible. Your end result is an accurate representation of what your eyes see (e.g. my own face in a nighttime selfie) and what is sitting there in the sky (the stars). You can call that repainting, but I disagree, it's more information aggregation over the temporal dimension.

Super resolution is similar, using shakes in your hand to gather higher resolution than you can accomplish with a single frame of data from your low res sensor grid. 2-3x digital zoom with super res technology is actually getting more information and more like optical zoom. It's not just cropping+interpolating.

Now...portrait mode. That's clearly just post-processing. But also...does blurring the background using lens focus have any additional merit vs doing it in post (besides your "purity"-driven feelings about it)?

At the end of the day, I want my mirrorless to do more than be a dumb light capture machine. I spent $X thousand+ for a great lens and sensor, so I want to maximize. It should do more to compensate automatically for bad lighting, motion blur, etc. It should try harder to understand what I want to focus on. As a photographer, I should get to think more about what photo I want taken and think less about what steps I need to take to accomplish that. My iPhone typically does a better job of this than my $X000 mirrorless. So I use my iPhone more.

The feature is to restrict use of user namespace restrictions to applications with AppArmor configuration ... that only Ubuntu controls?

This is ideal for containers, but containers are not mentioned among the default apps... because it's a desktop distribution?

I'm struggling to understand how Ubuntu expects this to be adopted in open-source application. Does everyone beg Ubuntu for AppArmor configuration? Does it get installed via enhanced apt bundles?

Is there no way for a system administrator to enable this and retrofit apps?

One can imagine the support emails and bugs if this is enabled. hmm.
That's the good ending of AI advancement.

The bad ending is that we continue the current trend, where the profit margins created by increasing labor productivity are completely captured by capital, and ~90% of the population starves.

You're more optimistic than I am.
A TASCAM DP008 could be had for less than 70-80 and is also quite limited and simple to operate and conducive to similar creativity though there is a little screen on it and very shallow menu diving at times when needed but it's portable.

To me it basically means carbon-based

Edit: didn't see any academic paper linked in the article (assume they're still working on it all) but the following is mentioned

> In a preliminary analysis of some of the dust, Lauretta said scientists hit the jackpot with a sample that is nearly 5 percent carbon by mass and has abundant water in the form of hydrated clay minerals.
I think this is said in every Krita submission here, but Krita's largest type of audience is cartoon-y fantasy artists. It makes sense for their demographic.
Computer Science's conventions solve these problems (although CS certainly has other problems):

* papers are generally posted to arxiv.org immediately on being finished, so everyone can access them
* conferences have fixed deadlines and relatively short, fixed/enforced review cycles
Fraud is considered rare, and trust is fundamental. In which case, you choose to believe what they said they did and interrogate of what they said they did is reasonable. Nobody has the budget, time, and sometimes magical fingers required to reproduce every submission.

You can disagree with this approach, but then there needs to be huge budgets set aside for reproduction.
The question is, essentially, "should bitmap fonts be copyrightable". In many jurisdictions, they are not. In the US, this has been black-letter law for several decades. A purely mechanical image reproduction of a typeface does not enjoy legal protection. I think it should remain that way. Many fonts are extremely similar, and allowing rights to the design itself would result in fights over the most basic of typeface design, similar to that seen in the music industry (where there have been efforts to claim rights to a chord progression).

Outline fonts (that contain programmable elements) are considered software and are copyrightable. A rendered output of such a font is not. It may legally matter who makes that rendered output, that they have the right to use the font software in that fashion. But someone working from a specimen? They should have the right to digitize that font themselves, and employ creative decision-making in placing the control points. In fact, that very thing has happened numerous times within the typography industry.

> Yes it is perfectly possible, but it’s very difficult. ...

shrug

Disagree, it's no harder than any other linux subsystem, you can use `tc` or you can attack it a different way by using virtualization then messing with it at the vde layer. I've added storage and network random latency for testing code before, took a day or so to get working perfectly, but now it's in a shell script.

Hm, alternatively.... you're right, it's very difficult. You should hire a software engineer, such as myself, to do it for you. ;-) ;-)
They have made it worse...

It used to work just fine on 1kbps.

Now it is pretty much unusable over dialup or GPRS.
Yep. Accounting standards dictate that a cash equivalent should be essentially as liquid as cash from the perspective of the holder. It’s safe to lump it in here.
Organics would be compounds containing carbon.

Here is a 3D FPS on ZX-Spectrum: https://youtu.be/tiV8ZPmmoJI?t=106 or https://youtu.be/3v7cFGneuaw?t=66

This is running on a computer with a 3.5MHz CPU, no hardware multiplication, and only 48K of RAM.
For projects that I'm unlikely to share with others, I don't care about patents (and I'm not legally required to care about them).

For others, I do care and go to reasonable lengths to avoid infringing on any.
Its mimicking horrible management - it isn’t going to resolve conflicts just create a “harmonious team”, you definitely don’t want to jump on the latest tech trend/fad because of some AI bot and 2x daily reports is micro-management hell. Engineers should be able to self-assign work once its been documented enough to start on. They should also be coming up with their own personal training/goals because they are the ones that own their career.

Whoever came up with this fundamentally doesn’t understand what it’s like to be a people manager. Nowhere does it mention trying to resolve conflicts with people outside the team. I’m not talking about petty conflicts but business conflicts like conflicting requests/direction and lots of ambiguity. Administrative tasks a people manager does is a minimal part of the job and could be automated but it would take longer to write the software to do the automation than to just click the stupid buttons in the HR/Payroll tool.
I wish NPS would think of privatizing. It need not involve just selling off the parks but involving more private enterprise providing services.
For students and hobbyist, yes and was probably a dumb MBA lead decision because it stops the developer pipeline.

OTOH, As many tool vendors will tell you its foolish to dismiss a tool simply based on price. If your paying your developers $100 an hour even tiny improvements in productivity can easily pay for a $1000 or more tool. Just the compilation speed alone vs C/etc is probably worth the 5+ mins a day in savings.
It's at the end of the article.

62 and older can already get a pretty cheap Federal Lands pass (which is what this is as well, not just national parks) for one-time $80 I think. So this is not a huge departure.

Except for the fact that you are no longer using an open source license. So not so much committed to it as abandoning it.

There's already a ton of that in terms of lodging options, etc.
> since OIDC is pretty complex in of itself

Obviously this is subjective, but I actually disagree somewhat. Once you get down to actually writing the code to implement OIDC, it's rather simple. But I feel like the specs make it look pretty scary.

I think the confusing part for me was understanding why some parts of it seemed to have so much song and dance (ie the three legged authorization code flow, PKCE, etc). I find the best way to understand the complexity is by having it explained in the context of what attacks are mitigated by specific steps. For that, documents like https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-oauth-secur... are much more useful.
It would be great if conversations weren't siloed inside one corporation's servers, but I don't think WP will change anything re: Twitter.

Twitter and Mastodon are cognitively low-maintenance tools. The authoring is very simple, and designed to be within 280/500 characters. Wordpress is the opposite. The UI assumes you're there to write, not view other people's sites and comment on them.

Automattic owns Tumblr, and that type of UI is probably what would get people thinking of posts as "tweet-length info" instead of full-on blog posts.
"Investigations" without blind tests are useless. Try a blind test (the website of the sibling post is very interesting) and you'll be surprised at the bitrate at which you'll fail to notice differences.
It is similar in principle to Matrix mixer from Erica Synths, they need to make it battery driven in the form of Volca and it would be an awesome thing to connect a couple of Volca Modular, AE Modular synths, Bastl Kastle etc
