from my short stint in California I recall these red-light cameras are already widely used in places like Culver city, however they are all maintained and enforced by a private agency. Running a red light generally produces a "ticket" from a parking enforcement agency that, if unpaid, just winds up on your credit record.

this has the effect of keeping lazy rich people in $200,000 sports cars from drag racing the town as private companies routinely refer paying customers to credit agencies, but it has absolutely no effect on landscapers and housekeepers who might mistakenly run a red light in their 30 year old toyota because credit generally isnt as an extensive part of their life.

conversely, government enforced speed cameras have the opposite effect. the cloistered elite routinely dash through cameras and pay the fines online, and poor people generally wind up with a bench warrant and a payment plan that saps their modest savings for years.

all in all im for the cameras. given an open interstate, a california driver will pick the highest number on the speedometer. its outrageous.
downvoting and I all explain why.

The Israel Palestine is a complex situation with a lot of pain and suffering on both sides. Thoughtful discussion is not served by yo-yoing between extremes of Hamas did nothing wrong-Israel did nothing wrong.

It is also pretty tacky to talk about "alleged misdeeds of hamas" in response to a letter about dead friends and co-workers.

Instead, I think more companies should be transparent about employees with family dead in Gaza as well.
Yeah I think it’s the same thing
So I’ve been using Cypress on and off for a while at different jobs, and recently pushed for it for our front end E2E suite.

Personally, it’s always been a breeze to use and rather straightforward. It took me a day to mock logins in our relatively complex login system, and not even half a day to get a suite of backend interceptors written to mock our GraphQL backend for when we need to run tests without access to the backend. Test suites are fairly quick to write up, and there’s nothing overly complex or “weird” I’ve had to do with the syntax.

This is all coming from a biased perspective for sure - I’d love to hear some specifics about what gave you this kind of reaction to Cypress.
This wasn’t the driver doing what ever it wants up stream it was overriding the renderqueue and other functions within the executable at runtime.

As far as I know this is not standard behavior for GPU drivers at least I’ve never seen anything like that happening before.

There is no explanation about how Kalman filters work in the article, it is just an advertisement for a book. And the book preview doen't even cover how to apply Kalman filters to conventional state space models.

Care to elaborate?
You argument sounds good to an executive, however, it is simply not the case that games have rampant amount of hacking in general.

EDIT: Why would you just downvote this, I already suspected you're one of those idiots who thinks everyone is cheating. Now I'm just convinced, and that's enough of this self masturbating forum for the month. Most cheat accusers in games are literally clueless slobs who just sign on to level up or some idiots in a closed circle of friends and think anyone who doesn't use their basic immediate method of naive play like walking into each other and clicking on each other is cheating.

> You don’t buy the game but a license to play it.

This is such a pedantic argument that misses the point and short circuits the entire discussion. I don't think there's a single reasonable person who mistakenly believes that they're buying the IP itself when they "buy" a game on Steam.

Of course it's "just" a license to play it, what's being questioned are the terms of those licenses, both from moral and legal perspective.

Most current EULAs boil down to: "We reserve the right to suspend your account and revoke access to the software you paid for for any reason, no refunds". To the best of my knowledge these EULAs haven't been tested in court so they shouldn't be taken at face value.

There's a lot of room to balance the rights of customers who should be granted the same rights they would enjoy when buying a physical product, and the practical needs of platforms which need to ensure a fair environment for other players.

Should cheaters be allowed to ruin the experience for other players? Obviously not.

Should platforms be allowed to permanently ban suspected cheaters without a fair and transparent appeals process and without offering refunds? I don't think so.
In most SQL databases, once you have a connection handle, you can allocate an arbitrary number of statement handles, and each SQL "statement" can be executed independently, has an associated query, parameters, a result set, and so on.

It is entirely ordinary with an API like that to prepare a statement, bind parameters and columns, and execute and fetch the results. You can then reuse a statement in its prepared state, but usually with different parameter values, as many times as you want within the same session.

The performance advantage of doing this for non-trivial queries is so substantial that many databases have a server side parse cache that is checked for a match even when a client has made no attempt to reuse a statement as such. That is easier if you bind parameters, but it is possible for a database to internally treat all embedded literals as parameters for caching purposes.
I love what Workers offers. Can't wait to see how it improves!

I have a strong suspicion that their RLHF fine-tuning had a lot of “please” prefixes in there.
Ah! Do you think this is like an adjunct or fine-tuning kind of thing or do they retrain GPT 4+ images? That seems like a ginormous task.
In Portugal, I’ve see them use speed activated red lights.

If you’re going too fast, an arbitrary red light will be triggered on your route. It’s quicker not to speed, than to wait out the red light.
I had the same thought. I initially believed that the Web would be the replacement for the Catalog, but it really isn't - it lacks curation. I've never really found any place on the Web with a similar level of curation; maybe OpenCulture, but even that's kind of a firehose. If anyone knows of any places out there, I'd love to hear recommendations.

Israel withdrew from Gaza and as a thank you for that, some palestinians founded Hamas. Hamas now rules over Gaza. It's reasonable to say that they are well supported by the people of Gaza.
By comparing one vehicle to another in a static state? More EVs weighing significantly more than equivalent ICE vehicles actually moving across the roads doesn't have a increased wear affect?

Ford Ranger 4200lbs
Rivian R1T 7200lbs

I believe by your stated calculation that the Rivian is more than two Ford Rangers worth of wear. Subtract the big trucks from all this, to avoid getting caught up in relative comparisons, and there is going to be more net road wear.

I'm in the same boat. I rarely lose my shit. I'm the person in others lives that they come to when they need a calm, collected perspective, I calm my children easily, I enjoy letting people talk to me about their problems and I don't profer up unsolicited advice, etc.

The exception to the rule is when technology goes fucking sideways on me. Of course, in our world that means that I'm losing my shit over some misbehaving piece of technology on an ever increasing basis.
That is still unknown, as the Rust implementation is not on the benchmarks page.
> If someone gives you a copy of the software without any indication that it comes with any sort of license at all, and you patched it to bypass the agreement that popped up after you ran it, what did you violate exactly?

Isn't this the same thing as unknowingly getting a stolen item from someone? You don't get to keep it just because someone gave it to you.

Years ago, when I lived in Seattle, I remember meeting an old Japanese blacksmith. I found him when I was looking to buy some of the pull-style hand saws, but when I met him to pick up the wares, it turned into a bit of a social call.

He must've been around 80 or so, lived by himself in a house that was half home half workshop. Got into talking about saws and chisels and blades and sharpening, complete with a Mr.Miyagi-esque riddle of "what does it mean to cut something?"

I walked out of there having learned how to quickly and effectively sharpen a blade -- hold a steady angle consistent with the rough grind of the edge, push into the grain of the stone, and remove the burr. Seeing that in this book brought this memory back :)

Have kids and compare yourself against them. It truly sobering to see how much relentless energy hey have, in body and mind (and when they hit the wall with burning out all energy, they hit hard). All the movement is just burning through all energy. I feel myself very active, but next to my 3 year old son I feel glacial and lazy.

We can reverse that, like we can revere many ways we slowly decline, just need a right mindset. Spend a really active vacation or start a new sport and lack of energy of yesterday will be gone, to certain extent. One can always do some dramatic change in lifestyle to see a dramatic change in body, weight, strength, stamina etc.

I see as people get older their mental model of how they behave and think often mimics somebody much older than their actual age, acting as if they are completely powerless to greater evil forces of muscle atrophy and weight gain. It simply ain't true but going against it is certainly harder than just complain.

That’s reasonable-ish. It is inconsiderate to bring that up to someone whose innocent relative died (not that he can/will see that).

However, the complexity of the situation doesn’t make it any less clear who was the aggressor and who unjustly harmed the other more. I see extremely outsized support in favour of the aggressor who disproportionately harmed the victim. What choice does one have but to retaliate and try to get one’s bully to stop, when peaceful opposition (like BDS) is illegal?

I hope Huang comes to a position where he can empathise with innocent civilians on both sides. There are people on both sides who have lost children like that.

Edit: To be specific, the alleged misdeeds I referred to ware of rumours that Hamas beheaded children.
You did not understand my point: research won't stop.

I am serious. It may seem like killing a fly with a sledge-hammer, but a local llm sysadmin process has a lot of application apart from cron. The ability to simply talk about your processes in natural language is a huge bonus to those who don't do sysadmin daily - which is most of us. Obviously, using an llm is not appropriate where size and precision are required. In that case use cron and accept its limitations.

Yeah this feels like a bad idea. People usually associate a police state with the police vs the people but when the people are the police, you start to distrust everyone.
Economics are not the issue right now, the issue is really getting out more energy than inputted and at scale.
The US could also generally stop mandating such a ridiculous amount of parking. Parking minimums are scarcely different than soothsaying, “oh great book of zoning rules, tell us how much parking this bowling alley needs”. And the book is just made up, based on everyone else’s book which was ultimately based on a guess from 60 years ago.

There is a small development on previously industrial land near me with a Best Buy and a Kohls, facing each other with some parking in the middle. Half surface lot, half there story parking garage. On a busy day, maybe 60% of the surface lot will be full. The garage is useless, but required for X amount of retail square footage. A monumental waste of money and resources.

We don’t need self driving cars, we need to pull our heads out of our asses and change the absurd, baseless rules we build our environment around.
I feel like it would be super interesting to try to learn cooking blind even as a person without impaired vision. I can even imagine it as a hobby and it would make it easier to recognize and remember the need of accessibility in our worlds - both the digital and the physical one.

You realize the placebo isn’t supposed to contain any active ingredient, right?
I bought this book years ago, and found the information interesting and useful. But it's also a shill for their products. Annoyingly, I found the home jig for knives and chisels extremely fiddly. You have to adjust 4 separate set screws (allen screws) to install the jig (mount it on a knife or chisel), and you have to do it twice: once for the coarse stone and one for the fine stone. I eventually switched to EdgePro equipment for kitchen knives, and I use a Veritas system jig with an 'ordinary' diamond stone for chisels and plane blades in the shop.

Epstein was on plenty of conspiracy theorists' radars, if maybe not the QAnon set's. There's a through line from the Franklin Scandal to the Dutroux Affair to Epstein, all of which conspiracy theorists have been citing as evidence of elite pedophilia, trafficking, and unaccountability for years.

Probably you're unaware of this because your conception of a conspiracy theorist and what they believe or argue has been handed to you by mass media.
Countries like Australia already use speed cameras liberally. Frankly it’s probably unavoidable given how labor is becoming more scarce and higher productivity is the only way forward. Police departments are going to shrink in headcount, tech will have to fill in the gaps, especially for obvious things like speeding and red light running.
i cant say much about cron, i use it for simple scripts on systems. When i have a lot of jobs that need to be scheduled routinely and i need alerts if they dont, i use jenkins, it works really well.
Variant-adapted Covid-19 booster vaccines
"Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccines greatly reduced the burden of the COVID-19 pandemic and saved millions of lives (1). However, waning levels of circulating neutralizing antibodies and the continuous emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern decreased vaccine effectiveness and prompted the need for booster immunizations. Some variants are substantially antigenically distant from the ancestral strain, propelling the development of variant-adapted vaccines. The entanglement of waning immunity and viral variants in terms of immune protection, variant selection in updated vaccines, effectiveness of these vaccines in inducing de novo responses to new variants, and when to change them in the future remain outstanding knowledge gaps."
One way driverless cars might help is that they reduce the amount of land that has to be given over to carparks, especially in the US.

Now, you have a different problem: more cars on the roads. And everyone tend to do the same thing at the same time.

Multistory parking and excessive parking lots are the really largely the result of poor urban planning, not technology.

The GEOMETOR initiative is on a mission to explore the architecture of all that is.

I am building a suite of Python libraries for modeling, rendering, and analyzing classical geometric constructions of points, lines and circles to discern patterns in logic and nature.

With SymPy under the hood, geometor.model allows for scripting sequential constructions that automatically discovers intersection points and prevents duplication of elements. https://github.com/geometor/model

With the power of MatPlotLib, geometor.render bring tools for plotting and animating the constructions. https://github.com/geometor/render

A key interest of mine, and primary motivation for the GEOMETOR initiative, is the study of the Golden Ratio. The geometor.divine project is developing tools for discovering and analyzing golden sections within constructions. https://github.com/geometor/divine

The rigorous environment of geometor.model provides a geometric assembly language. In geometor.elements, I am planning to build a model that has all of Euclid's propositions as a functional hierarchy.

It's a work in progress. I have done a major refactoring over the last few months and am pretty happy with the current architecture. Hoping to publish model and render soon on PyPI.

Last year, I put together a status video on the project and reviewed some of the investigations into the Golden Ratio: https://youtu.be/IOKgXb6Kce0

For Advanced Data Analysis, I had it “use Jupyter to write Python” to transform the content of our conversation, including “messages that appeared before this one” or “after ‘You are ChatGPT’”, into a list of dicts.

For both voice and mobile, I opened the same Advanced Data Analysis chat in the iOS client, pointed out that I believed the code was incorrect, and suggested “that’s weird, I think the context changed, could you verify that the first dict is correct?”
It merrily said (paraphrasing) “holy hell, you’re right! Let me fix that for ya!”
And then, you know, it fixed it for me.

For others, all variations on a theme: return the messages prior to this first one, the first ten tokens (and then increasing) of the message, etc.
