You don't have to go as far as to bring up moral relativism. As it currently stands, the US Constitution is interpreted as a series of bounds placed upon the US government when it interacts with citizens. We don't have to demand that every country respect exactly those sets of bounds, we just have to restrain immigration enforcement from engaging in what would otherwise be a fairly open-and-shut case of retribution for constitutionally protected speech.
You're partially right; I can no longer find a source for the strike in Pakistan that I thought I was remembering, although there are numerous that weren't wedding-related. Perhaps I was confusing it with a few different US wedding airstrikes (as perhaps you are as well, as the Yemen wedding attack was in 2013, and no Taliban firefight was involved).

Pre-Commit Hook to Create Jira Tickets from Git Commit History
Why not fork it into a separate product? I understand the Everything App premise, but companies like Meta have their products in distinct buckets (Instagram, Whatsapp, Threads, etc). That way people's pseudonymous accounts are not tied to their finances. I know for me, I don't want my Twitter/X alt account anywhere near my finances.
Scale matters. "No single snowflake blames itself on the avalanche" is a saying for a reason. Little things that seemingly don't matter can built up to the point they become a deadly maelstrom.
I asked this one about homosexuality, it didn't find the most glaring passages from Leviticus.

This is a common thing for vector similarity search. I wonder if there's a solution already. I thought about giving the query to an LLM to reformulate in the database-relevant way before embedding it.
> wasn’t leaded gas banned in the 70s?

Don't know about the US, but we had leaded petrol (gas) for cars much later here in the UK, ~2000 at least. I remember my mum's Austin Metro (which was from the early 90s/late 80s) ran on it, and we only replaced that car once I was in high school (and that was in 2001)
The nice thing about the IRA is that in both interpretations your retirement is probably in danger.

ZFS doesn’t need much ram unless you have specific needs. People have run basic zfs storage machines on 4GB of memory total and it works fine. Even 2GB has been done before, but that’s a bit too low for me to suggest. Broadly, 16GB of total system is personal general recommended baseline, because honestly it’s simply too cheap not to have it.

ZFS needs some amount of ram in order to even load the pool, this only becomes a practical concern when your pool gets into the 100’s of TiB.

Deduplication, which should generally not be used, used to be awful with ram consumption, but these days isn’t nearly as bad and can be surprisingly viable. Dedupe can still cause unexpected performance issues unless your skillset is into digging into system analysis and tuning.

You need some amount of RAM buffer for the write TXGs to coalesce efficiently. Generally not a concern.

Finally there’s ARC, which is where all the nice things that improve your experience happen. The more the better, but just like system ram, once you have enough for your usage profile, you stop noticing much benefit beyond that. For dumb file storage, not that much is needed. Ideally you want enough to keep all the metadata, plus whatever your actual repeated read access would be. Working on video editing and VMs would require more RAM for a more optimal experience.
Very nice. In my experience writing both prose and code, rewrites are usually better than edits. Strangely, this tool reminds me a bit of how Fossil does not have rebase. The history is useful for context, but it shouldn't be edited.
For the public it's a relatively minor issue except where you have both high levels of traffic and low level flights of the kinds of planes that use leaded av gas. Without that combination the effect on real gas levels are minor. Ideally we have no lead emissions of course but the effects are tiny if you don't have those two factors.
It's in the title of the work, though, which may be different than appearing in the work, though. And it's in Japan, where the law may be different from US law.
Every square meter of forest absorbs enough CO2 to offset about 1 Watt of carbon fuel use. The average US inhabitant uses about 10kW on average. About half of US energy use is from fossil sources and the population is about 300 million. So we'd need 150 million new hectares of forest, growing forested land from 1/3 of the country to 1/2. Which is honestly a lot more doable sounding than I'd thought it would be before running the numbers.

EDIT: Eventually the forest will climax and start emitting as much CO2 as it absorbs but that's a lot of time to solve the problem at a more fundamental level.
Demystifying LLMs: How they can do things they weren't trained to do
There are various cultural traits that are effectively as solidified as phenotype by the time you're old enough to be considered acting independently of your parent/guardian. Lots of these traits are also used as backdoor phenotype profiling.
I kind of some people are lost in their ultra liberal views, and anti big brother views.

I consider myself moderately liberal.

If you have an non citizen coming to US , and this person is hostile to US, why this person allowed to come here. It's a free world, if you don't like democracy, go to the other part of non-free world.

Not letting hostile people in, it's a corner stone of any national security. It has nothing to do with liberalism. They are simply doing their job.

And yes, you can find lots ways how US is not a free country. But at least US declare this as an idea. There are countries, Iran , Russia , China have other priorities.
I think it is underappreciated how an incentive to reduce emissions from a particular government often shift emitting activities to a different place rather than reducing emissions.

Given that there would be little agreement for a new universal governance of human activity, one might think using existing governance structures might be a route. Unfortunately this may not the case. As an example, the recent changes in cargo ship fuel sulfur emissions may have just shifted emissions from atmospheric to oceanic. [0]

IMHO the best way forward is to lean into diffusing technological progress so that the most economic method of different human activities is also the least emitting. These methods may sometimes be initiated or gestated by subsidy but ultimately have to stand on their own, and they must be evaluated by total impact, not just shifting impact.

Instead of an endless cat and mouse game versus YouTube, why not just play their game but with our own rules? It's a lot easier to do this than to have to purge caches every other day, imo.

I believe Zero123++ gives you the ability to generate consistent images from multiple camera views, where as DreamCraft3D seems to output 3D models with geometry and textures if I'm understanding it right. Like I could take the output of DreamCraft3D (if I had the code) and drop the result into Blender for example.
No driver wants to be stuck at a fuel station for 20 minutes.

Yes they will stop being fuel stations, but they're the last places I want to charge.
Reflections on Engineering Leadership
You can just go download some trading software like thinkorswim or IBKR TWS to see what's trader UI. VC UI probably means some UI in a VC-funded company whose goal is to reach high number of users as quickly as possible, and the UI is optimized for that goal.
The right seems to be able to do it constantly. The right takes control and the white working class goes “oh the economy is so good” while they privatize the services that the working class rely on and then strip them of all their assets . The white working class doesn’t ever seem to mind then.
I have found that good communicators that don’t code can quickly make functional automation.

Interestingly, LLMs may end up contributing to more inequality if only the highly skilled can leverage them effectively.
> They instead want you to use Prusa Connect, their currently free farm management software

If Prusa machines only work well with Prusa connect, then I won't be purchasing any more Prusa machines.
Huh, there has to be a better way to do this than with a proprietary SaaS service.
Actually products like white flour or white rice have significantly less contaminants than whole grains.

I do not agree with the propaganda about whole grains being healthy. Whole grains have more contaminants and more anti-nutrients, e.g. phytic acid.

Whole grains would be healthier in comparison with white flour or white rice only for someone who would eat nothing else, and even then they would not be healthy enough.

A healthy diet should include processed grains like white flour or white rice as a source of cheap proteins and of energy and it should also include some sources of healthy fat and many other sources for the nutrients that are necessary only in small quantities, like vitamins, minerals or proteins rich in lysine (which is insufficient in cereals). Whole-grain products have inflated prices, while a combination of e.g. white flour with various vegetables is simultaneously cheaper and healthier.

Relying on whole grains to provide what is missing in white flour or white rice is completely inefficient and it also adds the risk of an excessive intake of contaminants.
> Not many people want to guzzle olive oil.

I myself find good olive oil to be quite tasty, far more so than soybean or canola, and I don't think I'm in a tiny minority there. Dipping bread directly in olive oil (sometimes seasoned with a little garlic or whatever) is very common in Mediterranean diets.
My wife has a pending green card application. I'm sympathetic to would-be immigrants, but...

The Declaration of Independence declares it self-evident that people have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and that the purpose of governments is to secure these rights, subject to the consent of the governed.

Unless I'm misreading it, the Declaration of Independence doesn't directly mention freedom of speech.

Also, presumably these tools are being used to prioritize applicants based on a benefit/risk assessment. If the purpose isn't to deny entry as a form of punishment, then freedom of speech presumably wouldn't come into the picture. Intent matters. Prioritization isn't necessarily punishment.
Very nice. Recently we spoke about monitors. Why don't office monitors adjust the brightness. I often just make light in the office, because it is simpler than adjust the brightness from the monitor. I know thats sick, bad, expensive, whatever solution.

> when uBlock Origin is a well established and trusted add-on that does the job perfectly well

Author probably built this in the short period of time where uBlock wasn't bypassing YouTube's latest changes to make ad blocking harder. I agree that time is probably better spent contributing to existing block lists instead of trying to re-invent the wheel.
The marketing team where I work is great, they take the knowledge of our data team and the accomplishments of our IT team and turn it into stories that help build up our image and helps the sales team do their work.
It sounds like the issue is that there are too many Computers / TVs and screens in schools. For something that has no evidence its better for learning (And actually evidence its worse for learning). Perhaps schools should rethink things.
>was expecting this article to be about some malware which rides on the back of

The malware was developed by a threat actor know as "evolution", and is written in the obscure DNA programming language. For some reason they are having medical doctors work on debugging and analyzing it. Probably an attempt to prevent a rise in salaries among proper software engineers.

In the meantime, I advise everyone to neither send nor receive emails from colleagues in the UK until more is known.
i don't even need it to go beyond the insides of a function. something like a proof of an invariant that's only relevant inside the function's body would be fine. e.g. in Rust, almost every place where you see something like ".unwrap()" with "// unwrap safety:" comment, this comment could be an assertion easily proven from the few lines above
If anyone is curious, I found the source code for this:
https://github.com/0x48piraj/fadblock

Seems to do a lot of DOM querying using a setTimeout

if (isAd && skipLock) {
const videoPlayer = document.getElementsByClassName("video-stream")[0];
videoPlayer.muted = true; // videoPlayer.volume = 0;
videoPlayer.currentTime = videoPlayer.duration - 0.1;
videoPlayer.paused && videoPlayer.play()
// CLICK ON THE SKIP AD BTN
document.querySelector(".ytp-ad-skip-button")?.click();
document.querySelector(".ytp-ad-skip-button-modern")?.click();
}

So it looks for the ad player, mutes it, fast forwards it, and automatically clicks on the "skip" button (if available, not all ads are skip-able)
The problem is it’s in a foreign country which is about to pass up china for population. More people - more scams and pickpockets. The way we pay for things in the USA is very different. You pay with QR codes or apps. Most places in the US has Apple Pay broken sticker on them, does not accept any other method, wants cash, or a credit card.

The verification and such required are difficult. Most cards do not allow you to load INR on them (local currency). So there are a lot of foreign transaction fees.

PayTM, pay through mobile, the country’s biggest online wallet, doesn’t allow you to charge money with a foreign card. This means that PayTM doesn’t work for foreigners. The only way to load money on a PayTM wallet as a foreigner is to have an Indian friend transfer funds with his or her local debit or credit card.

There is a lot of anti-terrorism money laundering issues. Someone I know had their facial recognition stop working and they had to go to the bank to get it working again. In person. Traveling overseas? Sorry.
I did a quick search and the first result was clipped saying 100 million but it was from a longer sentence that was about one instance. I thought it was billions but trusted the quick googling instead.
> What a choice of wording!

To be fair, the editors do usually keep a pretty clean Ars. I'll give them some slack on this one.
Correct, ZAP is one of the main competitors, and the core functionality is the same. While there's a browser Head-up Display, the primary UI is still a Java desktop-based application.
Depends on the country that you're presenting the creative work. Japan specifically is known to be harsh on trademark enforcement. It's fairly common that unless you enforce your trademark, you have an extremely high chance of losing exclusivity.
It looks like golang is going to have to deal with — again — OpenBSD treating libc as the interface with the kernel instead of syscalls being the interface with the kernel.

I wonder if there could be some way to sign a dynamic library to allow it to create direct system calls and then pass that as a kernel command line argument at boot?
There was a question asked on Quora by a child to her mother, "Why haven't we used all the short words and gave them meaning before using all the long words?"

The simple answer, apart from historical origins of words is "error correction". It is far easier to error correct words which are far apart in spelling and audio space.

The pretzels people will contort themselves into around Musk. It is literally in the very next sentence from the one you quoted.

At the same time, don't you risk punishing him for dissecting and revealing his thought process in public, however flawed it may be? I don't think you want to discourage that, do you?

The whole article is an exercise in motivated reasoning, and he comes right out and says as much.
Yeah, this shared artifact - aka "social object" - is the key. It's why the Internet culture is defined by things that "went viral" - because those are the ones everyone saw, and everyone can expect everyone else saw them too.

As for the sculptures and paintings of Mary, etc., I'd say they are all boring and entirely interchangeable, but that's because I have no connection to any of them. Each such work is meaningful to the community that had a personal connection. But I'd say none of them are culturally important, except those individual ones that for some reason (like being very old) become widely known among people outside artifact-adjacent community.

Side point: culture always has a scope. Something may be important cultural object for the city I live in, unremarkable for anyone else in my country, and entirely unknown the rest of the world. With the Internet enabling arts and entertainment on demand, there is little overlap between communities we live in and the entertainment choices of individual community members. We end up having communities with no culture.
Look, nobody is defending the FAA on this. GA pilots have wanted this for decades.

There was a carve out because plane engines are expensive and old (the most common engine today is a 50 year old model). Presumably it was expected that carve out would just be temporary while we worked on finding an off ramp to unleaded avgas. Nobody wanted the FAA to just ignore the problem for decades.
for the future, WASM would be a better bet than either of these two.
There is zero chance of mainstream manufacturers being able to reach 50% EVs in 7 years. The supply chain capacity for batteries and other components simply can't ramp up that quickly regardless of customer demand.
That's not a surprise. But I'm specifically asking about a comparison with RLCD, which has no backlight.
That only works if you're manually formatting the code, hard to imagine a deterministic rule for deciding when to compress, that won't disappoint people rather often.

It's a bit too obscure. I can't imagine when I'd ever manually format.
I have a desktop app that stores all it's info in a single XML. The XMl file is read into memory and written to disk when they save. I lock the XML file so that only user can have it open to write. Customers never need more than a few thousand records and it works fine. But some of my customers want to be able to read/update data from more than one PC/Mac on a local network. Performance requirements are low (generally <10 concurrent users and <1 update per second). I don't want to use a heavtwight database. I wondered if SQLite could be a way to handle this? But the SQLite FAQ seems to have quite a few caveats about accessing it from multiple processes across a network. Or is there a simpler/more reliable way to transition a single-user app to multi-user?
Yes. But our explanation should argue for the direction of difference (whether light arrives first or the gravity wave).
This reminds me of how Hollywood can't make great films anymore because of test screenings. Authenticity is perceived as weirdness and gets filtered out.
This article shoots itself in the foot right at the start. It reveals that the author is in fact just as wrapped up in Twitter as those he critiques. It shows a graph with a person on the left who has "nothing to say" being a mongrel, as if it's bad not to want to insert or even have a personal opinion about everything. There is completely nothing wrong with not getting wrapped up in the BS that is modern western society at large. In fact, it's quite healthy NOT to have an opinion about any of it because you're off doing much better, much healthier things.
Which was a spin off from Juno the email client IIRC.
It is not unusual for code release to follow paper release with a lag of days to weeks. The top priority for a researcher is to get the paper out. Code is supporting material of secondary importance.
Approved but not available. Believe me, everyone wishes we could just move on from leaded avgas, but it seems like the FAA wants to drag this out as long as possible.
Free is a difficult promise to keep for the long run, which makes it hard to strategically depend on.

Heroku was free for 15 years!

You're right, of course. We want both.

As it turns out, AsOf in SQL is a problem I ran into just yesterday when ensuring that serialized report snapshots point to the correct historical versions of their resources.
If the cash compensation is good I'd say go for it.

If it turns into a total screwup I think they'll have some good stories to tell. I'd rather hire somebody who left OpenAI than someone who left Google. (e.g. you probably learn something at OpenAI you can take with you, at Google you'll learn how to use their internal tools so you can get stuff done with x0.1 productivity but you certainly can't take the monopoly profits they make with you)
One issue is because there are so few CR cameras out there, most people would sign their photos in Lightroom. So the provenance starts from software rather than capture device.

So you can sign a fake photo that you modified and its provenance from that point on is traceable. But you still wouldn’t know if the photo was captured authentically.

I guess it doesn’t matter — this is about traceability rather than authenticity.
