Valorant and Counter-Strike attempt to do this as much as they can, not sending information about enemies the player shouldn't be able to see. This is not flawless, though, probably due to performance or latency requirements.

Iirc, Warzone also sends information about non-existing players to suspected cheaters to attempt detecting aimbots.
Is this proven? Some days ago I saw the reddit thread which is actually the first and only reply in the link and in that reddit thread there is no conclusion yet on who is actually affected

why this conclusive title then?
The wild part to me was that CA has some of the most strict car modification laws in the country. Even before covid though I was constantly having to cover my ears due to some kind of cat delete/straight pipe modifications. I hate nanny states but the recklessness really rubbed me the wrong way.
An overwhelming number of players who do play these games regularly would not pay for or play them if the vanishing minority of potential users like you who care about hypothetical freedoms had their way.
Quite a bit of speed enforcement in Europe is using average speed enforcement (SPECS, section control, safety tutor etc.). There is absolutely no way you can evade it and at least in Austria where it's in force, nobody speeds. The moment the section ends, people go back to driving above the limit.
Twitter does promise reach for people who pay them.

>”Prioritized rankings in conversations and search: Posts that you interact with will receive a small boost in their ranking. Additionally, your replies will receive a boost that ranks them closer to the top. Subscribers will appear in the Verified tab within other users’ notifications tab which highlights replies, mentions, and engagement from Premium subscribers.”

A lot of the issues these people mentioned is that they paid for this reach and previously received it. This decision is another in a long series of secret algorithm changes that are effectively unannounced policy changes.

Also the “freedom of speech” thing is not really true either. Elon makes grand promises about not banning any legal content, but then does things like institutes very personal censorship rules, like deciding “cis” is a slur and saying it is a bannable offense. I’ve known many people who’ve been banned for using the word in an otherwise mild-mannered post.

> My major complaint against systemd is that its documentation is so complete, it becomes quite dense and you have to understand quite a lot of interconnected parts. "The problem is the problem" though, its complex because what it aims to do is complex. I am still positive on it as a whole though.

Aye, that is a problem. We have like 3-4 recipes in our internal documentation of "Here are the 12 lines of systemd for each of the 9 things you need to do to solve 90% of your use cases". I might ask around if we could put this onto some public blog or something.
The most memorable forums that I was ever a part of were the ones that lead to real life friendships and connections. When I think back, those forums were just enablers to connect with people in real life and have shared, real experiences. Now the "social" Internet is nothing more than another consumption funnel with no real intention of getting people to be more social.
This post broke my brain a little as it goes totally against my mental model of how an LLM is processing images. That is, I don't know why it is processing the content of the image, and then running that through something that then "executes" the text of the image.

So it has some pipeline like -> LLM/OCR Image to Text -> Text to Command Processing. Why is the text description of the image being processed at all and not simply just being output?

As far as I know, we've had engines for detecting sentiment, objects, etc from images for a long time (way before ChatGPT), and they didn't have issues where they would execute a URL found in an image, they would just output the characters...

Can someone who understands this better explain wth is going on here?
There are alternatives to roads for moving people and cargo. Railroads, for one. If we really wanted to minimize ecological disruption without shutting down the logistics network of the economy (taking the economy with it), we would build elevated rails across the landscape. Wildlife could safely traverse underneath them so there’d be a lot less interruption of territories and trails. The downside is cost.

A more modest solution is wildlife tunnels and bridges [1]. These aren’t nearly as expensive as elevating a railroad for many miles, but they do allow wildlife to safely cross in some places. They help to reduce habitat fragmentation which is a huge challenge for migratory species and those with large territories.

They don’t much for pollution, however. Electric cars might help with that somewhat, but the local issue around roads is pollution from tire and road wear, salt/de-icing, debris, litter, and runoff. All of these local pollution sources won’t be alleviated and some (tire/road wear) are exacerbated by EVs due the dramatic weight increase.

Elevated rails would be amazing though. They could accommodate very high speed trains, allowing an even faster transportation network, while also cutting down on all of the issues listed above.

In Canada if speed excessively and get pulled over you get a fine and demerit points but if a camera catches you, it's just the fine. The logic being that they know your car was speeding but not who was driving it.
The std version uses esp-idf, meaning you have increased unsafe surface area, a dependency on C & lesser ability to patch any issues with peripheral drivers.

These are all related and not really an issue for small projects though.

this seems to agree with a lot of people's personal accounts. A switch is flipped in which the body for whatever reasons starts hording energy. maybe it is stress from family life or work related... who knows...The weight comes on so fast... it's nuts how much weight some people gain starting at 25 or so. Guys who were 130-180 lbs lean in college now 240+ lbs all a sudden at 30+.
One thing I saw that really surprised me: In the desert, there are more flowers immediately beside the road. Water is the critical factor for plant life there. When it rains, the water that falls on the road flows off to the edge, so the plants there have more water.

They didn't ban people for using win7, they detected something that ran on win7 only. Where is this grandstanding? They've had false bans before and they reverse false bans now and then no? Usually it's a group that is banned so pretty obvious when a bunch of people starts complaining.

They might, but app for my bank works happily on LineageOS.

Same eg. with app for a local 2nd hand site, which on startup complains that it needs the Google services... and then runs without issue (only appears to use those Google services to pinpoint the phone's location).

Imho this is 1 more reason to put alternatives like LineageOS on a phone: the more users on those, the harder it is for app developers to drop that usergroup for... well, reasons.
But on the other hand, adding either muscle or fat burns more energy period, and we watch the average person's weight gain somewhere between 10 and 20 pounds over the first half of adulthood.

So we could easily expect the average person's metabolism to increase as well, simply to support the extra body mass regardless of composition.

Balancing out the two effects can only really be determined through careful statistics, and is going to be extremely variable per-person.
To train a larger inversion model, I think we'll just need 16 A100s for a month or two. We can circle back in December, once the bigger model finishes training, to see that we've gotten better reconstruction performance. Fascinating!

Hi I wish to use Office Scripts
Lots of info from NHTSA [1]. Like many complex things, it's tricky. "While the presence of a red light camera system has reflected increased numbers of lower impact rear end crashes at intersections where the systems are installed resulting from drivers stopping for the red light, research has also found a reduction in more dangerous offset and right angle crashes at intersections with red light cameras".

In general it seems like a win to me but if you get into technicalities then yes, some research has shown more low-impact rear end collisions. They go on to say "Additional studies may provide greater insight into whether or not such crashes persist where the technology is in place for longer periods of time. The effect of warning signs, public education, and familiarity with the presence of the system in the fullness of time is not clear."

What SWE job hunting is like right now
I'm a contractor, things were strange during COVID. I worked on project rewrites that got abandoned, and made the mistake of doing test consulting for companies that had never tested before. I will never do that again.

It used to take two-weeks max to find a new position. It's now been two months, and I have no leads. I will call out the exact situation I've run into.

I have received nearly 20 calls from a dozen different recruiting firms all for the same two back-fill jobs at Charter in St. Louis. I interviewed with them once, and it's not a match. .NET, Knockout, and TSQL... They weren't interested in me either. I'm not exactly offended by that.

I get two calls a day about Charter at this point. I've been told, "they just finished a round of interviews, and didn't find anyone." At this point, I have to ask straight away to anyone that calls me about a position, "Is this for Charter?" It's always yes, and I always say, I've already interviewed and I'm not interested.

One of these firms told me they don't want to work with Charter anymore because they've basically gone through everyone, and still haven't hired for these two back-fill positions they've been interviewing for. And they seem to be the only company in the city that's hiring. Or pretending to hire, because they've been giving everyone the runaround for months. I asked to add a note for me in their system that I don't want anymore calls for Charter. They added it and told me they have a shared system with a few other organizations.

That same firm told me they are focusing more on remote positions instead of St. Louis. Which is the least safe city in the country, which includes financial security.

I've always struggled with St. Louis overall. Enterprise is ancient here. When I'm told, "But we have Boeing, Centene, and Bayer!" I have to groan a bit. I'm not talking about tech stack, it's all old as far as I'm concerned, I'm talking about mentality. Nobody tests, CI automation is unheard of. And everyone rolls their eyes at the web. These companies want to build web applications, but they don't want to use the tools of the trade, they want to use desktop tools and pretend browsers don't exist. It's like building a skyscraper with nothing but wood planks and screw driver. I won't get into that at the risk of a much longer rant.

This place feels like a barren wasteland. But I know people in other areas are struggling to find work too. I'm open to move at this point, but I haven't decided which market to focus on. Is there anywhere that's actually growing right now?
C-Crete hailed as a planet-friendly alternative to cement
The analogy seems fitting. The point is that the content was meant for direct rather than indirect consumption. My conclusion however is different--all are valid uses. Apples are what was sold, not a license for specific use of apples. It would be different if the content was posted on your own site with specific terms of service that prohibited specific uses. I don't think Reddit for example had anything like that in place when the data was scraped.
Really deep analysis. Thanks!
You can avoid it quite easily by removing your plates. In the UK this is a nominal fine if you are ever caught (which given how few police there are is quite rare).

However because everyone else is doing the limit it won't get you far.
I think you should just keep a thing like this to yourself. It's attitudes like this that keeps people from daring to share their code with the world.

What you might find ugly, others find beautiful. I'm actually pretty proud of this lib, and i enjoy my style of coding. Your comment doesn't change that, it just kills a lot energy.
but the article says it's gradual. gaining 20+ lbs in a year not gradual.
We are talking about buying less food or going shopping more often and with recipes in mind and just get those ingredients. The Costco bulk shopping where a sizeable portion becomes out of date and thrown away can be pretty easily prevented with forethought.
It is essentially impossible to put on muscle at their size without also gaining fat, because they need to be in a large caloric surplus. During the off-season, pro bodybuilders are still training, they just increase their calorie intake significantly. Muscle does burn quite a few calories passively, it's just not nearly enough on a 260lb man to cover 6k-10k calorie intake.

Malthus being wrong about the exact tipping point and timing doesn't mean that the limits of fundamental physics somehow don't exist.

Innovations are unpredictable and likely easier when discovering the lower hanging fruit. So if we are increasingly unlikely to invent our way out of mounting problems they are likely to get worse.

Based on current pollution and resource consumption alone we already know our time is running out. At best we've got a century or two before there is massive upheaval. And the resulting world is very likely to be a hellscape of microplastics, ubiquitius forever chemicals, depleted soils, and unexploded munitions.

Then again, it's far easier to stick ones head in the sand and carry on like nothing is wrong. Yet don't worry about such folks, they'll continue on until we all suffer or they're constrained.
What actually happened is that the game code was modified in memory which VAC disallows because that's how many cheats are implemented. I'm not even sure what you're trying to say. Yes you can disable some effects in games through changing driver options and you can make your monitor render a red dot and add macros to your keyboard, those all are a distinct problem from the subject here.

A framerate limitation for "fairness" wouldn't make sense because you'd basically be arguing that it's unfair that someone saw one single extra frame that some player zipped across the screen and they were able to track them whereas they wouldn't without that extra frame.

But a game being networked naturally presents the same issue and it can't be solved (in an engine like source or unreal): player locations are sent to your client at a fixed sample rate. Whether you see a player zip across the screen will just be determined by a bunch of phases of cyclic phenomena: for instance your client renders every 33.33ms (for 30FPS) and the server says he's at position A, then the server says he's at position B which is in your view, but your game isn't rendering yet because it just finished rendering the previous frame. Then you get a packet saying he's at position C which is also off your screen and now finally the rendering happens, rendering another frame with the player off your screen. So you never saw him cross your screen. But another player sitting right behind you looking in the exact same direction will be on a different phase of his render loop: he may render right after receiving position B and so he will see the player zip across. This example ignores interpolation and stuff but it will still apply even then.
They're talking about what is required for your theory to work. You have no idea about it because you've never thought it out.

Your theory requires a massive conspiracy because otherwise the surviving documents we have that criticise early Christianity blow your theory out of the water.

I wouldn't really say its "unlimited" when there are rate limits on the number of emails you can send/receive in a day (presuming that is what the in/out stats are referring to) and there is a storage cap.

Not saying I disagree that a good email host shouldn't have rate limiting / storage limits, just saying I wouldn't call such a host unlimited either.
Really? I thought citizen informers (voluntary and coerced) were a core component of police states. The Stasi had incredible numbers of them.
Tags are functions that receive an array of strings and then a series of arguments corresponding to values passed in the interpolation slots, allowing you to use template literal syntax while the tag function does something much more complex under the hood, potentially including returning non-string values.
Or maybe the kind gestures are what helps keep the person from snapping. A reminder that some people care at least a little bit.
There are some potential constitutional barriers to income based fines in the US such as the excessive fines clause: “Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.”

Of course we don’t know how courts will rule on this since it hasn’t been tried.
I read every single word of this catalog starting the day it was released in 1968, just after I turned 20.

We'll I'd much rather see "posted last week" where precision isn't needed over having to look up the date in the calendar.

Where precision is needed (maybe finegrained transactions?) date and time might be better.
What do you mean? This is true for any template string, not specifically the tagged template strings, no?

Edit: I think I understand now from the other comment, thanks!
And why nobody does this? Maybe because they simply don't mind against reading their correspondence? Or because they do not want to look like a criminal trying to hide something?
Thanks! Not in a position to do anything more than eyeball it on my mobile phone, but it seems long-term bond prices started out much higher this time (very low interest rates), so they had further to drop.
I think mesh networks start to become more valuable when you want/need various users or sites to be able to talk directly to each other with significant bandwidth, or when latency might be constraining, and start to scale up. To take my own examples, I've got my main Site A which has a fixed IPv4, then I have a Site B which is the primary offsite but still "local" (<1hr drive) backup location with a few hundred terabytes of redundant spinning rust and no fixed IP, and then small sites C through M that also have their own local NAS. All are within a few hundred miles of each other. Everything is managed from A, so WireGuard would be fine for handling all remote access, even if I'm in another country since there isn't really a significant extra latency hit from bouncing through A. But I want C-M to backup to B as well, and in a hub/spoke that would mean all that traffic must also go through A. Obviously if I rented a fixed IP for B, I could then set B up as a new hub and add new VPNs and rules for C-M for B as well as A. But that's already a certain amount of extra work or setting up automation, and if down the road I had a B2 or B3 that'd multiply. Even automation though won't solve the problem of latency if things spread out further, if A was a thousand miles away from some new site, now bouncing through A starts to add a potentially really noticeable latency hit for no reason.

Having a mesh means only the lighthouses need fixed IPs, and then everything can talk directly with no extra work. That is significantly more scalable, adding a new client requires nothing from any of the other clients. And it cuts out unnecessary legs in the trip and the traffic and latency that involves.

Wireguard is awesome and it sounds like you probably don't need to bother in your use case, but if you start providing distributed services not funneling through hubs starts to be worth considering. Particularly if you start caring about one service site going down affecting others.
