Are people here really so young that they never had to deal with traditional cable subscriptions? Let me tell you what it was like. You signed up for Comcast, paid a $50+ installation fee, prayed that the technician would even show up in the allotted window, paid $100-150 month for basic service, paid for a cable box/modem rental, paid for HD, paid for DVR, paid for each extra TV in your house, paid for premium channels, paid for on-demand, paid for sports packages, and then watched a shit load of ads to cap it all off. Complaining that YouTube TV is too pricey or is making things worse just shows that you don't know of the media world outside of YouTube and Netflix.

Europol wants unfettered, unfiltered access to all scanned data, regardless if there's a crime or not.

And they want to inject all of that into their Police AI (which they also want unregulated).

It's going to be awesome future.

Pretty much. I see no realistic path forward that will lead to any kind of de-escalation in the world. Everyone just keeps poking the sleeping bear and adding more and more straw to the camel's back.
My significant other watches sports, so the comparison to YT Premium doesn't count for us. It was either be subjected to ads and pay a lot of money or be subjected to ads and pay a medium-small amount of money.

But as someone who has never paid for cable TV before, I agree that it's jarring. Our trick is to only watch things we've marked to be recorded, which allows ad skipping. (On demand and live don't allow skipping. Starting a sportsball game an hour late gives plenty of buffer.)
Yeah, I don't know who sprinkled AI on this. There's plenty to talk about around unexpected escalation around Ukraine, Taiwan, Gaza, and so on without adding that.

Regarding remote control switch pressers, I have a couple switchbots, and most of the information online talks about using things like Home Assistant, but they also respond to anything that sends them a simple bluetooth command. You can easily do a point to point thing with a bluetooth device on the other end.

> Hauling your body across the room just to flip a switch is absurd.

Maybe this is a sign of getting old, but I never got why this is such a hassle. Light switches are within reach when you enter a room. Once you're inside, you rarely have to touch them again until you exit. On the rare ocasion that I do, maybe it's also a good time to stretch my legs, take a bathroom break, or get a snack.

Is that such a major inconvenience that we have to overengineer solutions using expensive and complicated ecosystems of gadgets and software?

Maybe I'm in the minority with this line of thinking on this forum, but I never got the smart home appeal. I want devices that I can control directly, not those that will interpret or anticipate what I want to do and, more than likely, cause frustration rather than satisfaction. The switch is the ubiquitous and perfect mechanism of control, especially if it's directly wired to a simple state machine, and not layers of indirection and "protocols". I wish more devices used dumb switches, not less.

Don't get me started on the motion sensing lights TFA mentions. I curse the times I've entered a public bathroom that has these, only for the light to go off at the most inopportune moment. Don't want to use a physical switch because of sanitation? That's fine, but cheap and low-power LED lights exist for them to be always on during your service hours. You won't save much having the light turn off, and potentially annoy your customers.
Not GP, but an ongoing concern I have with covid is that the "severity of current variants" is something that you can really only know after the fact and mild cases can still cause long term effects. I also think that, even if there is a really dangerous strain that evolves, there's no way that in-office companies will go back to WFH, so it might make sense to plan for that possibility.

It could also be the case that they're fine with the risk of covid when it comes to actually living life (travel, hanging out with friends and family), but doesn't want to take that risk just to make zoom calls in an office instead of at home.
Hopefully OP understands this, but I can confirm folks like my parents do not distinguish the difference. It's mind boggling

If your searches are this descriptive then yes, I'd expect useless results everywhere. I use Kagi where Bing used to be, for technical reference lookups. It's excellent at putting API docs front-and-center, which means I can alt-tab back to my text editor that much faster. What I love about Kagi is how little of my time and attention the tool requires.

Also my own anecdata - the privacy concerns are a red herring, because the utility of knowing everything you've typed into your PC is diminished when ad surface area no longer exists. I like that Kagi has a privacy focus, but them losing it would not cause me to stop paying for the service as long as the quality was the same or better.

The problem of who you prosecute when it's unclear which of a group actually did it is why English common law has "Joint Enterprise". [Whether this is sometimes abused is a different question]

If the Crown can convince the jury that you were one of a group of people with some common criminal purpose (e.g. scare a family into not going to the cops, rob a jewellery store, break someone out of prison) and that some specific crime was committed by someone in the group and that a reasonable person could have foreseen that this might happen in the course of the purpose based on what you knew, then you are guilty of the specific crime under this "Joint Enterprise" doctrine even though the jury weren't convinced, and may never have been shown evidence, that you did it and you claim only to have intended the broader crime, likely with a much lower tariff (e.g. murder usually means a long prison stretch, robbery not so much)

The instruction set is the major part of an architecture spec from the point of view of an userspace application. You can design the binary header flags to express instruction sub/set when you find that reasonable. In any case, regardless if the instructions are hardcoded to the text or generated during the runtime, you need to communicate the intention to use the specific instruction set to the kernel, so it can schedule your process on appropriate cores, and check if there are such cores present in the first place.

AI research essentially started in 1940s, and not the 2010s like you might think.

I read a ton of AI research papers written in the 80s and 90s.

Lack of AI hype is was because the lack of data and compute. The actual field is here for a very long time.

This combination of facts seems extremely unlikely.
Pedestrians should also take responsibility for acting dangerously.

To me it's the same if a driver cuts in front of me and then slams on their brakes, there was nothing I could have done about crashing into them no matter how safely I was driving.

If a person runs in front of a moving vehicle it shouldn't be the driver responsible if they basically cut the car off. A car can't stop on a dime.

Drivers should be held responsible if they were clearly driving in an unsafe manner, but we have the share the space somehow.
For _latest_ developments in deep learning you will need to read the papers. The books are best if you want to read about foundational topics.

California has a new jaywalking law

https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/local/californias-new-2023...

"Starting Jan. 1, the Freedom to Walk Act officially becomes law, allowing pedestrians in California to jaywalk without fear of a ticket, as long as it's safe."

Also, most people including police misunderstand how jaywalking works, or is intended to work. Nobody should be expected to walk a mile out of their way simply because that is where the only crosswalk is. Jaywalking is technically only possible near a crosswalk, so if the pedestrian was near a crosswalk but didn't use it, then that would be jaywalking. If the pedestrian is say half a mile from the nearest crosswalk, they are free to cross so long as they yield to oncoming traffic and don't cross dangerously.
I had similar thoughts about a year ago. My experience is that the results are that good, though sometimes there are changes under the hood which lead to poor or limited results- it is a beta project, after all. I used the free trial, following which I stayed on the monthly sub before paying a lump sum of $100 for the next 10 months. I've enjoyed my correspondence with the CEO as well. YMMV
This is fair. I think I was giving less credit to looms packaging of a "complete" feature. Almost like their work is "done".
Is that really Nebula's fault? YouTube, TikTok, etc. are full of garbage too.

I don't really know their arrangement with creators (one would hope creators get a bigger cut there, otherwise why leave YouTube?), but my favorite creators* have the same videos on both, just a little earlier on Nebula usually.

*Just engineering channels though, which is probably why they're not as spammy/shock-reaction-y.

> Voltages are fixed. Fixed, passive.

And yet this thing has some internal pack voltage, its putting it out at something like 5V, and then my phone is then turning it into something other than 5V for whatever its internal pack voltage is, which then once again gets changed for whatever its internal circuitry runs at. Doesn't seem very fixed to me.

USB-PD has tons of different voltages it can operate at, all vastly different from whatever pack voltage my phone or laptop run at, vastly different from what the CPU runs at.

Sure, when you're building something and you control all the variables, its easy to say the voltage is fixed. But most consumers aren't in that environment, they're plugging their phone into whatever charger supporting a myriad of voltages and amperages.

And circling around, you can't be certain how many hours my 10,000mAh battery pack will run a 10W load. The only voltage assumed here is USB, 5V, so why would anyone assume 3.7? Why not 2.5? Lets just make up whatever numbers for the internal pack voltage. And you can't tell me about how many times that 10,000mAh battery pack can recharge my phone's battery pack, since we don't know either pack's voltage. But if we knew how many watthours each pack was, we could reason that.
I just don't understand the value prop of YT TV.

It seems like the exact cable TV model that all the streaming services were supposed to disrupt and put in the ground (eventually).

But then again, I'm probably not the primary user of the service anyway.

As a Brit, ‘jaywalking’ is so alien to me. I once jaywalked in front of a police car who stopped and waved/signalled me across the road! Whenever I’m overseas, crossing anywhere when the road is clear is second nature to me and I have to remind myself not to. Conversely, you can always spot a foreigner in the UK: they’re the ones waiting for the signal at a deserted crossing at 2am.

About average, historically
Im going to begin with saying that nobody should go to the gym and test what you said. An untrained male that is 200lbs will absolutely get hurt if they try to attempt a 160lb bench press, 200lb squat, or 300lb deadlift. In fact i'd argue that they would be more likely than not to get a serious injury if they were untrained and actually attempted any of those. Untrained numbers are going to be half of what you said to test.

What is this supposed to be an approach for? Overall fitness level?

Although im going to add a disclaimer for anyone reading this that wants to give this a try.

According to StrengthLevel, which is community sourced stats, for an average male on their site which skews exclusively towards people who do strength training here are the bodyweight ratio's for beginners, who are usually classified as AT LEAST a month of training to 6 months

- Bench press .50x of weight
- Squat .75x of weight
- Deadlift 1.00x of weight

Moving up to novice which is 6 months to 2 years the numbers are in line with what you shared. So people who haven't lifted should definitely not try to test their strength by going straight to novice numbers on the bar. They WILL hurt themselves if they put anywhere close to that weight and have no spotter or spotter bars.
Probably for user containers, but I've only ran it as root generally to avoid those sorts of limitations so haven't noticed any issues - I rarely use docker and only use for quick testing and then switch to non-docker installs
As others have pointed out, it's not the recording that's the hard part per se; more so the entire workflow from hitting firing up the recording tool to getting the final recording -- possibly edited -- into the cloud for sharing in some seamless flow.

Lots of ancillary stuff involved. I know a team that went down this route and built a competing tool and the hardest part was working out the streaming upload and storage. Then you layer on things like permissions, lifecycle management, etc.
The world has moved on. Products like Github and Gitlab supercharge these capabilities so far beyond what the Linux Core team are doing with their email lists.
I'm a huge fan of both, but you're not the first person I've heard who had problems with the writing style / dialogue / characterization of Fire. In that respect, I'm not sure Deepness will feel different. Vinge has a pretty consistent style and cultural stance, which IMO is an interesting balance of Heinlein-style techno-libertarianism and genuine "humanism" (which extends to dogs, plants, and other thinking creatures).

Structurally, though, it's pretty different. The characters have much more opportunity to develop, and it's purely hard sci-fi where Fire used its setting to veer into fantasy ideas. So my biased advice remains: give it a shot :)
ICBM detection by radar and satellite is old technology, and an essential part of the MAD doctrine. You’re proposal would only make sense if all actors have access to their own.

By observing the status of a flag "wasBackupSuccessful", which wouldn't be set to true if there is a power loss after the file was copied (this flag could be set as an atomic rename operation on the copied backup file so that you could tell via the observable file system behavior whether the copy succeeded)

But it is now clear what you meant, thanks for the explanation!

We were paying about $350 for internet + the full package to get sports.

Now it's $60 for faster internet and $73 for TV. The ads are infuriating, but it's less than half the cost for pretty much the same TV experience. This is a very clear upgrade.
It seems like a charter school that develops a reputation for low quality is a self-solving problem in a way that a public school which develops the same reputation is (currently) not.

One goes out of business; the other goes along indefinitely, with perhaps the wealthiest parents nearby withdrawing their kids, but most families and children are forced to endure it or move away.
Correct, but there are cheaper options. Additionally, you can self-install cable these days in many places.

With streaming services you still have to pay for certain sports packages and premiums.

Most people who stream are still paying the Internet fees and modem rental.

Some streaming services will sell you equipment (for instance, DirecTV Stream has a set-top box that isn't required, but actually behaves more like traditional cable instead of having to navigate to a separate app)
I've used Dracula for years, love it and don't plan on switching any time soon. Having support for pretty much every program I use is a huge factor.
Very interesting video. Thanks for sharing. It looks a bit chaotic but honestly not _that_ unsafe to me as everything is going quite slow. It reminds me a bit of the idea of "shared space" which is a recent concept that is actually claimed to make streets safer.
I think what we see in the UK and the US is a really weird combo of centering politics (both parties don't want to be too much off-center to attract as many voters as possible) but also a really extreme polarisation with the 'enemy' (because they need people to vote for them and not the other party)

In addition to that, politics becomes a 'zero-sum game'. Meaning a loss for one is automatically a win for the other. In other countries in Europe we don't really have this mechanism and it takes a lot of the sharp edge off politics. Because getting the other parties to fail is not automatically a win.

I think especially in the US this latter point is very clear right now, one party is always trying to undermine the other, even at the cost of the country's interests (which was the one thing they were supposed to care about!). Using the shutdown as leverage is a typical example.

I think any system that reduces politics to a zero-sum-game should be avoided as much as possible to reduce this very phenomenon. Because while the two parties in the US are fighting in the streets over internal issues, Russia and China don't have any internal political issues and can take full advantage of this on a geopolitical scale. That's the handy thing of being a "one party system", as awful as it is.

Not saying the EU countries are perfect. Coalition forming is an awfully complex process and sometimes it takes years (I think Belgium was without a government for more than a year recently). It also leads to inaction or slow response times to external events by having too many parties at the table. But it doesn't lead to this kind of extreme infighting and stalemates.
Assuming the OS has privileged access to everything that runs on it, the EU just has to tell the vendor to implement scanning and reporting at ring(app-1) and let the vendors scramble to figure out how to make that fever dream a reality, no? Hell, put it into the Intel Management Engine/analogue and compromise every device subsequently manufactured. The pervs (or the freedom fighters, or the tentacle hentai underground, or whatever) will just have to go back to passing hardcopy in dank backrooms of no-longer-smoky-because-they-banned-smoking-in-pubs...pubs
