I checked Yamato Transport's website the day they told me it'd take four days to get my bags to the airport. Turns out they were backed up on packages coming out of Kyushu[0].

The next time I take a trip to Japan I'll probably just ship bags to the airport a week in advance and have them held there.

> I’m not familiar with science, but I don’t believe things are terribly bad for engineers. Brilliant innovative engineers have a degree of control over their lives.

The only fundamental difference is not between science and engineering, but between research&academia and industry, specifically in the number of positions available and the competition there is to fill them.

You mentioned startups. Basically that means create your own position. That's way out of reach to any academic position because no one can simply go out and create their own research institutions. Therefore, if you want to make a living or have a career in academia, you have to subject yourself to their rules and processes.
As one of those grumpy old pilots, I can understand it. Change (especially regulatory change) in GA usually translates into one of the following: 1. Making this very expensive hobby even more expensive, 2. Making this inaccessible hobby less accessible, 3. Moving more from the hobbyists to commercial interests (airliners).

There have been great exceptions (Medical reform + BasicMED, small recent changes around experimental/amateur-built category, and the upcoming MOSAIC reform), but I think the old fogies have a point about the damage change tends to bring to this activity.
It’s simplest explanation is that dependent types are types whose exact type use some kind of parameterized value in the definition. So a dependently typed array would use a parameterized length value as part of it’s definition(this is usually the easiest example to understand). So an array of length 4(of whatever type) could be identified as different from an array of length 5, etc.

MS just comes off desperate with their tricks trying to con users into using Edge. Then again, Chrome is no better with their attempts to dominate the web and force their own standards on other browsers to make ads harder to dodge.

Aside from Firefox, there's really not many other browsers I trust.

To be blunt, I don't understand how people who work in technology, and who often see the result of bugs when dealing with an enormous amount of complexity, are so quick to jump to conspiracy theories when the "misfiring spam filter" is infinitely more probable.

To emphasize, I think New Climate's blog post does correctly highlight the fact that when "the algorithms" go haywire, it feels like it takes multiple acts of God to get a human to actually fix the issue. But I'm just tired of the lazy appeal to "What The ELiTes DoN't WanT You TO KnOw!!!" whenever a bug pops up (and, ironically, who the "elites" are solely depends on what tribe you identify with - in this case, if you're pro-CO2 reduction, the elites are evil corporate masters seeking more use of fossil fuels for their profits, and if you're on the other side the elites want to use climate change as an excuse to stifle the economy and keep the peons in their place).
Looks like they correlate to me.

Microsoft is infamous for exactly this behavior among folks who self-host their MTAs. At least with Gmail you can usually figure out where the false positive is and try to do something about it via postmaster tools. Once Hotmail blackholes you, though, that's it forever as far as I could ever tell.

This wasn't the only reason why I switched to Fastmail after 17 years of selfhosting, but it was among them.
Tangentially related, but her daughter is Susan Francia, who is an Olympic gold medalist rower. It's wild to me when you see family members at the top of their completely different fields.
Come on. Arguing from names is really silly.

I'd say almost everything but capitalism values authoritarianism. E.g. socialism in the end by "society" means "the state".

Society in capitalism is generally separate to markets, e.g. your local community, or charirites, or churches, or sport, or schools. Not bureaucrats taking your effort and doling it out (or not) as they see fit.
I don't know how much accounting is done on the university side to itemize research bills. What my advisor told me was when I was going through the ringer was that once you have the money, it's yours - you can do whatever you want with it short of embezzlement. All that matters is you make progress on the thing the funding agency granted you the money for, doesn't matter if you ran over budget or spent $100.
I was told a few years ago that bean-to-bar was done by very few companies. But I've since heard that it's had kind of an explosion that somewhat parallels the popularity of beer microbreweries, with a huge boom in sales of chocolate-making equipment.

Thanks! Yeah, it was definitely an ambitious choice, but I think it results in a better product, and I'm really happy with how it's turning out. For now it's just me part time, but I'm hoping to go full time or near full time next year.

In terms of stack, there's an open source core written in Go which exposes an HTTP API. The UIs then use that API. There's a cut down web frontend written in VueJS (useful for forward deployments), a GTK frontend for Linux written in Vala, and the MacOS version is using Swift/SwiftUI (with some use of AppKit where that's not applicable).

Then (because this isn't ambitious enough) once those are polished, I plan on doing a native Windows frontend too (likely using C# with WinUI 3, but to be confirmed).
I looked into this and it isn't true - countries which switch to opt-out don't get significantly more than we do. I agree this is surprising. The best explanation I was able to find was that, of the few people who get in accidents/comas where their organs are useful, most have already opted it, and there's a lot of negotiation with the family around exactly what that means such that an opt-in/opt-out box doesn't make a big deal. See eg https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/news/media/releases/presumed... .
In my experiences with Twitter, if you can find a group of some sort that you interact with a lot, Twitter would try to keep that group of people interacting with each other in some way. So part of Twitter is just "being part of a group" and is usually used as entertainment or self-promotion.

If you are just there for the drama, you'll love it. There's always drama. If you are just there to interact with other music producers, there are enough of them that there's usually something new worth listening to or discuss. If you just want dumb memes, there are also plenty of them.

But very few people are going onto Twitter to "be themselves" in the first place, so looking for true human interaction is a lonely time on Twitter.
No, most people will use whatever the default is. The vast majority of search is for a few popular queries: facebook.com, wikipedia article, current event, celebrity, product etc. This isn't the 90s anymore where search engines were terrible and google was a big step up. Even among power users, the difference is not that clear.
Only on systems where the syscall ABI is stable, like on Linux. Others, like macOS and Windows[0], can and will change theirs between releases. OpenBSD even goes one step further and actively prevents code other than libc from performing syscalls[1]

Yes, and from a purely economic standpoint, we're betting that the handful that do stay are worth the investment of capital and resources.
Why is this post "flagged"?
Yes, but what the founders were going for specifically as it relates to interpretations of The Constitution

The first 7 words of The Constitution are “We the People of The United States.” Later in the same paragraph they specifically state that they are doing that for “ourselves and our posterity”

There is no ambiguity that the framers were creating rights and laws for “People of the United States”

Firefox needs to make Profiles a first class UI function. Yes, I understand that Firefox has containers, but I loath explaining containers to non-technical people. Chrome and Safari Profiles are much easier to use.
I'm not having trouble understanding the JS part ("a comment [at] the beginning of a bookmarklet"). It's the last part—understanding what it is that you're saying it's actually supposed to do ("will set it to the name") and what that would mean for bookmarklet usage that's giving me trouble.

> I didn't phrase it very well but I figured people would just drag and drop it in Chrome and see it for themselves.

I did. I spent way too long (15+ minutes) doing that, trying variations of the bookmarklet and user interactions to see if doing so would cause some observable difference and reveal some insight, and trying on different plausible (and implausible) interpretations of your comment.
I agree there's more nuance to this. Your original application of Kant's imperative is wrong, but it's not a total loss either - I feel it could be rescued with a more precise line of argument.

I particularly like the bit from your point 2. here:

> a creator operating under the assumption of those laws being followed loses out on revenue when those laws are broken

I'm not 100% certain - I'm trying to think this through now - but I feel that this is an ethics issue, related to honesty and fairness.
> any tiny increase in risk of a stroke after vaccination is dwarfed by the increased risk of stroke or other serious outcomes following either a flu or Covid-19 infection.

For anyone coming in here, wondering if this is some massive revelation: it doesn’t seem to be as far as I can tell. Note the mention of « flu » as well, meaning an increase of stroke incidence not even comparable to negative effects of getting the flu.

I think it’s probably an alright trade off considering the positive effects of vaccination.

Of course, I’m glad the research is being done! Just worded as if this is some disaster outcome in the headline.
Why isn't the "but you have iPhone" thing working on them? It seems to work on a lot of other people.
Unfortunately those kind of decisions tend to be left up to C-level individuals who generally only look at the costs associated with that decision.

Hell, even MIT has succumbed to this pressure - they are in the process of migrating the entire campus from an onsite hosted Microsoft exchange server system to cloud hosted microsoft 365 email system. To the laments of the users and the IT staff who have to support it.

From a system that has served a massive user group like MIT successfully with little downtime for over a decade to a system that has already caused multiple issues - even when they are still migrating people after 6 months...
I also made a nvim plugin but from a different angle.

I set up a "write only" mode, so you can't use backspace or get out of insert mode, you just gotta keep writing forward (also disable <c-w> )

To get out of it, you tap escape 15 times in a row. (to avoid my habitual ESC :wa)

Note': I like the plugin but I don't know if it's helpful. My writing career has been exceptionally short for the moment
SBF wanted to advance a defense that he relied on his lawyers telling him that was kosher, which requires there to be enough evidence that his lawyers specifically told him it was kosher. The hearing was to determine if he would be allowed to raise that defense. You don't want the jury to be present because if you ultimately decide the evidence isn't admissible, you can't exactly tell the jury "please forget everything you just heard."

At the end of the hearing, the defense attorney decided they weren't going to proceed with that defense, and instead go with the general defense of, uh, SBF thought the lawyers were telling him this was all kosher, so it can't be fraud.

In any case, he is actually testifying in his defense in front of the jury today, and Monday, and likely Tuesday. Based on this hearing, when he goes into cross-examination, the prosecutor is going to open him up and completely eviscerate him, with SBF happily handing the prosecutor the surgical tools to do so.
Was gonna comment the same thing, feels ridiculous to include it here for local use. I believe you should be able to remove it if you edit the python inference code from huggingface.

edit: I tried it out by copying this pipeline file locally and then disabling the safety checker. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/huggingface/diffusers/main...

On my M1 macbook, did a test of 10 images, including the one-off loading time. With checker: 10.51s, without safety checker: 9.48s. So not that big of a hit.
It was interesting talking to my father, a former Christian minister, about AI. ChatGPT interactions had instilled some misconceptions and it was difficult to convince him that its responses were just cleverly weighted randomness. It produced compelling theological debate. I told him not to trust any chat bot unless it could cite verifiable sources, and when prompted ChatGPT could only fabricate. Trust eroded.

In consolation I sat up a vector index of The Works of Josephus (his interest at the time) and a StableBeluga chatbot. It answered questions fairly well, but most importantly supplied the references that were used as context. In the end there was still just too much cultural and historical context missing to be a useful alternative to scholarly analysis.
My girlfriend works as a teacher at a school that is part of a school affiliation. During the COVID-19 pandemic, students had to work from home, which put pressure on the IT infrastructure. To assist, I offered advice and developed a small web app to help teachers organize their homework and lessons. I did it for free but the app spread like fire around others schools. Some needed support, some needed new features. That's how I got started. After a few weeks I started to charge.

I think the claim is based on the public political statements made by leaders in Texas. The fact that there is a huge discrepancy in what they say publicly against the science of global warming and the utility of renewables versus what the investment numbers say is the really sad part. Basically it boils down to: I'm going to lie through my teeth to pander to the stupid people who vote for me, but I'm also going to create favorable conditions for my wealthy buddies to make a killing in renewables.
It’s basically the sunk cost fallacy.

The research and discoveries that are most deserving of a Nobel Prize are precisely the sort that are unexpected and unpredicted in advance. All this "Monday morning quarterbacking" by everyone who now suggest that this discovery should have been obvious 20+ years ago or that the talent of those who made the discovery should have been obvious is rather silly.

Arguably the story of how this researcher was treated and what she still managed to accomplish can serve as inspiration and motivation to persevere to future generations of folks with unconventional ideas or ideas that are disparaged by the 'experts'. Yes, it can also serve as motivation to research institutions to take risks and go out on limbs every now and then as there can be some wheat hidden within the chaff.
Microsoft blocks billions of emails a day. I'm sure these are just getting hit in some cross-fire instead of nefarious scheming.
That was Facebook's strategy with Internet.org or whatever their free service for India/SE Asia was called - make "the Internet" mean "Facebook" for people who didn't have the internet yet. Kinda like what AOL was before ISPs were popular.
I have an O365 account in one of Microsoft's Government clouds. I sent an email from my personal (privately run) email to my o365 account with only newclimate.org in the body of the message. The message was sent to Quarantine in the Gov cloud - where it shows as Malware. Microsoft shows "URL detonation reputation, Mixed analysis detection". Seems Microsoft thinks newclimate.org is hosting malware.

I sent a second message from my personal account to my O365 account, with just my company's URL in the body. This one was delivered right to the Inbox.
So we're finally admitting the IRA had literally nothing to do with inflation?

I think (don't really know) alloy steel valves and hardened seat were pioneered by the aircraft industry and appeared in cars by the 1950's. So really lead wasn't needed to extend the life of valves after that. Also my experience with some shitty 1960's cars was the valve guides would wear out before the seats. Compression is fine but engine burns oil and fouls the plugs. You could see it with older cars when going downhill, they'd be blowing oil smoke.
That's mostly an issue on cheap engines without hardened valve seats. Aviation engines switched to hardened valve seats well before WWII.
This is what I wrote trying out the product, seems really focused haha:

You're introducing that dichotomy right now. And you're forgetting the millions of advances that happen in private companies to push forward the state of the art. Look at Tesla, or SpaceX, or Hitachi, or BMW, or Microsoft, or IBM, or Xerox, or Astra Zeneca. Incredible advances happening all over, sometimes not realisable for decades, but occasionally commercialised and rolled out if it's beneficial to enough people for the cost.
