Thank you. But I am having the hardest time understanding how this entirely reasonable-looking orbit "around the sun":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Animation_of_2016_HO3_orb...

Somehow turns into this loop-de-loop "relative to the sun and earth":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Animation_of_2016_HO3_orb...

Is this essentially the origin of epicycle model of the planets? Do all planets look like that loop-de-loop graphic, but for whatever reason we never plot them that way, but for some reason this article is plotting the asteroid this way? (Just to confuse us?)

Say I was in a web chatroom using SSL and someone posted a link to a piracy site. I right click and want to share it. Previously only the chatroom administrator could have known that my IP saw that link. But now, my ISP or anyone sniffing packets on the network would be able to see that I inadvertently accessed the URL. Regardless of whether or not I did anything else on the website, I could possibly get into trouble for simply requesting content from it.

Maybe instead it's a link to a site that sells abortion pills and I'm a pregnant woman under a government that forbids them. I share it with someone else but don't access it myself. Maybe I have a miscarriage and the government suspects it's actually an abortion. They get a warrant for ISP records and now there's proof I accessed a site selling abortion pills despite never actually going to the website.

Or maybe it's a link to an IP stealer. Someone asks you to share it with someone else. You don't click the link but they still grab your IP anyway when you go to share it.

I can think of numerous other examples of how a compromising URL could expose your activities even if you didn't actually click on the link. I don't really see a need for downloading a preview favicon. It just exposes you for no reason and could provide just another possible attack vector
From a non-NASA site:

"NASA does not mandate astronauts to undergo an appendectomy before embarking on a mission. This decision stems from the understanding that the risks associated with surgery frequently outweigh the potential benefits."

Ceramic flooring is so much colder than a real wood floor to me. I have no numerical data to offer as evidence to how it feels to me. However, walking into a house that has solid tile flooring vs a house with real wood flooring has a night/day difference in feel. I'm not necessarily just talking about F°/C° "colder". It's just a lot less "feels like home" with tile flooring.
> America declared war on cannabis not because “it’s a drug” but because it was something enjoyed by migrant laborers (Mexicans) during the Great Depression and outlawing it was thought to cause them to become outlaws and white folk would have jobs again.

To be fair, it was both. If you look at contemporary writing among lay Americans, they earnestly thought it made Mexicans crazed and dangerous. It's good to look at history through economic and political lenses because that's often the steering wheel or gate control, but (in approximate-democracies) it's also good to acknowledge what everyday sentiment was among lay citizens.

A country can be calculating and moralizing/prude at the same time, and America's biggest historical moments almost always hinge on getting those two things to align. Even today.
I'd say "best" practical use is those of people under threat of institutions and nations and it works well for simple access. It even has a stealth mode for censorship regimes in which your router doesn't advertise itself and lays down.
...And it probably have odds of reaching the intended recipient similar to their "leave packages on urban sidewalks" program.
What? Are US policymakers wanting to now arrest skeleton remains and demand drug-war fines for return?
I don't believe I said that.

The point is that it's much easier to make a mistake typing "requests" than "
org.kennethreitz:requests" (as a pure hypothetical.)

It also means that more than one project can have a module called "utils" or "common", which once again reduces the risk of people accidentally downloading the wrong thing.

Yes, we were a little apprehensive about putting them in our three bathrooms. You pay more for better moisture resistance. Eight years later and ours still look like new, notwithstanding our kids getting out of showers multiple times a day. At least the flooring we got seem to handle water very well.
Actually, the dirty secret is that a lot of human work (at below minimum wage) went into training and refining the AI models:

https://time.com/6247678/openai-chatgpt-kenya-workers/

And billion-dollar companies made their money off it:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/kenrickcai/2023/04/11/how-alexa...

That’s the dirty secret of why ChatGPT 4 is better. But they’ll tell you it has to do with chaining ChatGPT 3’s together, more fine tuning etc. They go to these poor countries and recruit people to work on training the AI.

Not to mention all the uncompensated work of humans around the world who put their content up on the Web.
They getting indentures on these people? "student loans" are too slippery, won't tie them to the district properly. maybe home loans...
It did. And I miss it! It was certainly an interesting, and sadly forgotten, time in Internet history.
I feel like it's pretty obvious the bill wouldn't pass. It's just so off-base from all other EU tech policy. Banning end to end encryption is both ineffective and practically impossible. And sending "CSAM" (in a lot of cases teenagers/young adult nudes) to a presumably American tech company for manual screening is just so unequivocally wrong on a privacy level.

It seems like a lot of money went into making this get to the vote. My impression is that lobbyists have worked for this through the European commission - which is distasteful as it should never have been proposed. But it never stood a chance in the parliament. There seems to be checks and balances.

I have to credit the great work of people like Patrick Breyer and everyone who has demonstrated and organized across the EU these last months. Passivity leads to the worst outcomes.
No, they already have, but their mechanism have a lot of limitations because it's not a primary business for them. More details you may read in our blog article - https://cydanix.com/blog/Evaluating-the-Limitations-of-Nativ... .

It's a thing to attach those paddles shifters to the wheel now instead of the column.
Manufacturers now think you will be changing gears mid corners when the wheel is turned and think you will have a hard time locating the paddles if they were on the column.

Don't hire this guy, I guess. Mobile first problems was solved like what, 10 years ago? The problem the other way around is still way more prominent. The amount of sites that still can't function normally on any mobile is just silly.
To be completely honest, this is for the idealists out there. Those of us who are itching to replace our vSphere with oVirt because 1) we have the time and skill to do it, 2) we believe in open source and 3) we believe we can make huge savings by using open source.

I expect the oxide supporters to have a hard few years ahead of them of finding bugs in high throughput environments. But at the end of the day it will be worth it just to have another competitor in a pretty boring playing field.
> cutting them off from their ability to make money to pay for said defense undermines the integrity of the legal system

If that were happening you'd be right! But the good news is, since apparently you haven't read or understood the link you're commenting on, neither X, nor the politicians in question, is doing that.

Or put another way: the premise you lead with is false. Try again.

my engine branch of a 2 year old game in development is “UE4” despite the fact that we are running 5.2.

At previous companies where we developed a game engine at the same time as the game we were building it for; after releasing the 4th game on that engine it still had the binaries named the codename of the original first game.

So, renaming things can be hard or overlooked.
Paraphrasing liberally from the study, looks like it wasn't used as a medicinal herb in the past, but recreationally.

I'm assuming that's because opiates and alcohol use were widespread, and those are stronger analgesics and anesthetics than cannabis. For anxiety, tobacco was the preferred drug.

That does put a question on the whole modern medical cannabis industry. But of course, cannabis today is much stronger, so who knows? I don't think I could survive an amputation on modern cannabis alone, however. Or even ignore lancing a blister.
Sam Altman is on the record about his belief that OpenAI is going to create a general intelligence system that can solve any well-posed challenge. That belief is based on the current success of LLMs as syntax co-pilots. So if you can formally specify what it means to have a zero-day exploit then presumably OpenAI's general intelligence system will then understand and "solve" it.

Many people have compared OpenAI to a cult and it is easy to see why. OpenAI should get credit for their efforts in making AI mainstream but there's a long way to go for automated zero-day exploits.
AWS Outposts are leased:

> You can purchase Outposts servers capacity for a three-year term and choose between three payment options: All Upfront, Partial Upfront, and No Upfront. … At the end of your Outposts servers term, you can either renew your subscription and keep your Outposts server(s), or return your Outposts server(s). If you do not notify AWS of your selection before the end of your term, your Outposts server(s) will be renewed on a monthly basis, at the rate of the No Upfront payment option corresponding to your Outposts server configuration.

There is no permanent purchase option.
Agreed! Empowering people to have some power over robots through regulation, without being at the mercy of a single company, seems very important. Higher level behavior could involve a standardized safety language to command a robot to act slower or stop.
Yep. Java is performant and cross-platform.
That will be very easy to verify. If emissions will peak and level or go down, then actual measurable CO2 level in the atmosphere will also become straight increasing line, with no acceleration of the increase. My bet is it will not do so in the next decade, because all this "emissions cut" talks is a greenwashing bs with fudged committee "designed" numbers, and actual real emissions are only ever increasing.
That still doesn't make your point. Are you saying that annual GDP growth of 4.9% is the type of rampant growth that causes inflation based on... an article on a dodgy website?

Because, it looks like you're saying all GDP growth causes hyperinflation based on an article on a dodgy website.
Don't be.

I feel Nintendo is doing fine. "Their" biggest letdowns are the modern pokemon games, but those are somewhat outsourced.
Psh... we can't do it with a worm

Cool idea
Well a simplistic answer would be that if you have a better codebase than your direct competition then the opportunity to crib large parts of your code might end up making their game attractive enough that some customers end up buying it instead of yours.
Open source as sanctions busting. Interesting.

But it doesn't look good on the $2000 cards. That's a big problem.
I was about to mention this...
I've worked on games where a static reference is found in the host libraries, and that's used as an offset to stomp on the unnecessary parts of the library provided by the vendor; and therefore recover slivers of precious console memory space for the game.
What is being repeated here? And how is the largely automated as placement system "speech"?
It's like the devs never tried building anything real with their own framework. Internationalisation support was dropped in the app router and the docs just tell you to DIY... but just to make the app support RTL languages you need to do some hacky things to update the <html dir="rtl"> in the root layout.
I don't know that OpenAI does what it to be regulated. The EU was looking to enforce laws into providing auditable transparency into how decisions are made for suggestions - and OpenAI is freaked out by that.

If I recall, they were looking at having to pull out of the EU if enacted. The only company I am aware of currently looking to tackle AI Governance is Verses - they released a paper on it. https://www.verses.ai/ai-governance

Its locality properties provide a practical alternative to the Hilbert curve for this type of map. Also interesting that it is loopy.
Google recently killed an important firebase feature around cross platform in-app links, not raise prices, no

KILL IT.
It’s a feature depended on by tons and tons of customers, that was a far bigger shock for me than google domains, atleast domain infra is designed with migration in mind usually (dns not included)

But google killing of a vital feature[1] of firebase (with no google alternative provided) made me shit scared on if I should integrate with more of their products.

They also randomly jacked up prices of sms authentication exponentially in a day without any major notice and caused a ton of people to get thousands of dollars in bill increase suddenly [2].

Stay away from google is a good idea unless playing russian roulette at work is your hobby.

Every product there is one manager’s ambition for promotion away from being killed and re-invented

My earliest memory of what has become modern, streaming video apps was Google Video (I think that's what it was called). It was before they bought youtube.

I very clearly remember searching for "Sonic Youth" on it and getting maybe less than a dozen results, but one of them was this indie documentary/tour-video called "1993: The year punk broke," which is about Nirvana and SY touring together through europe.

Its a really fun little movie, but mainly it felt absolutely huge to "discover" it like that. Its hard to imagine these days that you could search for anything and not get, at least, thousands of results. Back then being a hipster about music really felt like a special club, like some special minority of people drawn together by taste, and the internet as it was reflected that nicely.

Embarrassed now to remember moments where I tried to convince my friends of how good and important Sonic Youth, Neutral Milk Hotel, and the Pixies were, even if they hadn't heard of them; trying to quote Pitchfork and AllMusic reviews to make my point.

I would say, as an entirely personal impression, most Windows application developers didn't use version control systems at all throughout the 2000s.

By being the dominant operating system, Windows would have had a wider distribution of developer skill levels than Linux at the time: both the really unskilled ones and the extremely highly skilled ones, plus plenty in between. The upper end of the competence distribution would be able to install Git even on Windows, and I believe that the majority of those who did use VCS would use a proprietary, Windows-only tool such as Team Foundation Server, especially in a corporate context.

But why didn't Team Foundation Server and its ilk completely take over? I would say that the lack of FOSS licensing was a very big part, as well the fact that Linux and almost all of its distributions were using Git, making it a sort of mandatory thing to use to participate in the FOSS world.

By the time the Git for Windows installer had progressed enough to be really easy to use in the 2010s, the concept of open source software had become so well understood even in Windows-land that everyone just gave it a go, with GitHub being an especially important factor in that. It's perhaps a bit like how people were installing VirtualBox on Windows just to get a LAMP stack, as that's what all the books and blogs said you should use.

All my own personal perspective, but much as we sometimes lament, I truly believe that the average quality of build tooling in FOSS has always been massively better than that in the proprietary software world through the 2000s and 2010s.

Ironically, these salaries are really mostly only attainable working for American companies. Some facts for anyone reading:

- 350k is like 200k net in CA

- 200k is ~110k net in Germany

- ~90k post-tax difference

- Germany: 25 days PTO min

- Meta: 25-30 days PTO min

- Google: 20 days PTO min

Considering COL differences, you'd probably save 40-50k more in the US than Germany with these numbers. Maybe it's not significant enough to lose the EU lifestyle bonuses but it's also not nothing.
So they are asking for our help to further nerf their models.
If it fits naturally into a well-written story, then sure. If it's just an obligatory sex scene then no. I know a good love scene when I see one! :)
I am reminded of hacker, Saar Drimmer’s work [1].

Like Blake, he was subject to a fair bit of censorship and “blind-eyeing” by the dominant institutions of his day when his work demonstrated chip-and-pin credit card authorization was hopelessly broken [2].

But also like Blake, he turned to reinventing the lithographic machinery of the period to create new mediums for expression. Blake with his printing press, Saar with his PCBmodE circuit etching software - creating circuit boards which were published in the haute couture press[3]. And both using in effect the same medium of etched copper plate.

Almost as ridiculous as trying to argue that anyone in this situation is "preemptively cutting someone's livelihood ahead of a battle".

If you read the letter and believe that the government is requesting, or that X and Rumble are agreeing to, the de-monetisation of Brand's content, then we should address a reading comprehension challenge. If you can see that this -- "preemptively cutting someone's livelihood" -- is definitely not happening, then I would encourage you to more precisely convey what you mean, because this attempt almost perfectly expresses the opposite of reality.

passkey theoretically.

Passwords are so terrible with the way they're typically used and deployed (and now there is enough widespread value in compromising accounts at scale), that MFA went from a niche 'high security' edge case to, well, our current UX disaster.

For high security needs, you'd still want MFA + passkey.
Apple was an incredibly well established company and the initial iPhone was not used in enterprise… it didn’t really start to take off there until iPhone 4 (2010-2011).

Not to mention the comparison is inane to begin with. Using an iPhone for your enterprise and moving your tech infra to a relatively unknown company are not equivalent at all.
