So what you'd do is to forget the whole SIM and only connect to WiFis in those bungaloos or wherever you're staying in your travels.
I believe there has been a general sense of "AWS/GCP/Azure are not compliant with EU GDPR (see Schrems II and possible future cases) but there is no alternative" with most EU based companies. So this will probably sell like hot cakes, a potential forced migration is just not something you want to worry about.

Technically this seems like a similar setup to GovCloud but accessible for the general public rather than just US Government agencies. Are there any big drawbacks of using GovCloud compared to regular AWS Regions?
Yes I agree. Based on what they show compared to what they say, I'm not really sure what this library actually does.
What a nice story.

Odnoklassniki (classmates), second of the two most-popular Russian social media sites, also has always had this feature. That, and it primarily being used by older generations, are its defining features. You could hide yourself from other people's "profile guests" by paying to show up as anonymous.
Whilst nowhere near as robust as typescript, JSDoc offers a level of type checking through an editor such as vs code or intellj.
Thank you for your service. This is one of the times I wish I could follow people on HN.
I'd consult a lawyer before doing that. Al Capone got busted for tax evasion, not murder. If they want to get you, providing a false identity may or may not become a problem. Also, having the card shipped to your home address makes it super tracable.
I've been using this for years and it's one of the most useful apps on my Mac. Highly recommended!

Quectel releases 6 New 4G/5G Products-more robust connectivity for IoT Devices
Back in the mid-90s my dad lost his car keys. Turns out they were in his dressing gown (we’re British) pocket, in the wardrobe.

So he bought one of those keyrings where you whistle and it beeps. This was a Saturday and we were visiting my grandparents, his parents. He told his dad, by now with a mild case of the Alzheimers, that he’d got this thing and that “you beep and it tells you where your keys are”.

Well my grandad, who never drove a car let alone used a computer, his mind was blown. He just had no idea how this thing could do that.

This went on for a few minutes.

Dad, increasingly frustrated: “you just beep and it tells you where your keys are!”

Grandad, increasingly confused: “... but ... how?!”

It turns out that my grandad was imagining that you whistled and that this little device shouted out, “they’re in your dressing-gown pocket!”
I've used around 15 different microwave ovens consistently though my live, from cheap to relatively expensive ones, between homes I've lived in, apartments I've rented and offices we've furnished. Each one lasted at least 3 years, with some lasting over 10 without any problems.

I've had vastly different experiences than the author.
I would agree... Better something primitive and "less convenient" that they're familiar with than learning to operate something completely new at 94. Much more so if they have dementia.

I just wish Quectel's support wasn't rubbish, along with the thermal problems of some of their hardware. (Yes, I am bitter about them, why do you ask?)
In the Netherlands we had a huge phase of replacing regular crossings with roundabouts, which I consider to be an improvement. Now, however this is followed by a re-engineering phase of many of these roundabouts. The 2-lane ones, where a driver needs to pre-select whether they want to go a quarter round (turn right in Netherlands) or select for straight-ahead and 3 quarters round. The lanes on these roundabouts are separated by a rather high ridge to avoid drivers changing their mind and change lanes. This probably done for safety, except that they feel more unsafe now, by introducing "choice stress" upon entry of the roundabout, especially if the road directions aren't very clear. To me it feels like over-engineering.
My ChatGPT is still trained on September 2021, and I just noticed won't give me some information because it's aware it only has limited knowledge even when I specify data from past event to September 2021.

Response:

"""
I'm unable to provide an exhaustive list of all UFC fighters from UFC 1 to September 2021 along with their detailed career statistics due to the vast number of fighters and their respective records. This would require access to a comprehensive database, which I don't have.

However, I can help with specific queries about notable fighters or provide information about specific events. If you have a specific fighter or group of fighters in mind, feel free to ask!

Isn’t this just inference based on the AP News deal?
Lots of journals have a plain language abstract requirement. I think the primary issue is a lack of open access everywhere and for profit journals being seen as better than society journals.
There is ambiguity in practice. Accidents do happen in roundabouts and t intersections without anyone driving like “a maniac”. The point is that the article doesn’t really discuss the drawbacks of roundabouts of which there are many.
Your observations are quite apt.

"Researchers in Belgium found that single lane roundabouts without a protected bike lane increased crashes by 93%, while Danish researchers said roundabouts that did have separated lanes saw an 84% reduction in crashes."

In ASP.NET land, I regularly work on projects where there is an informal rule that only Microsoft-published packages can be used, unless there's good reason.

You don't want to be using Ivan Vladimir's OAUTH package to sign in to Microsoft Entra ID. That probably has an FSB backdoor ready to activate. Why use that, when there's an equivalent Microsoft package?

When any random Chinese, Russian, or Israeli national can publish "microsoftauth", you just know that some idiot will use it. That idiot may be me. Or a coworker. Or a transitive dependency. Or a transitive dependency introduced after a critical update to the immediate dependency. Or an external EXE tool deployed as a part of a third-party ISV binary product. Or...

Make the only path lead to the pit of success, because the alternative is to let people wander around and fall into the pit of failure.
They are most certainly being fed LLM content. However, I think this "model collapse" narrative is over-subscribed. Here are some things to keep in mind:

(1) Real content is not generated via a synthetic loop: Humans use generative AI in complex ways, intermixing human-generated and AI-generated content. Imagine a person who writes the first draft of an essay, then uses ChatGPT to rewrite parts of it. These are certainly many human additions, modifications, and stylistic flourishes.

(2) The most dramatic effects of model collapse were seen when training multiple generations of AI agents on content generated by the previous agent. This is a very academic scenario.

(3) There is already a lot of junk consumed by these models. RLHF is aimed at eliminating these junk responses. I am not aware of any research that explores how the full training cycle is affected when RLHF is employed.

Also, there is a lot of training material out there that was not used by the original GPT-3 model. The primary limitation is hardware.
The digestive system has form (guts etc) and function (extracting energy from food). I can point at it.

This is not the case with the immune system, because this 'system' is just an idea. It cannot be pointed at or isolated, like other bodily systems. And yet it is treated as if it is real, but where is it?

You might as well use 'the body' as a term, rather than 'immune system' - the term is so broad, it is meaningless to me.
Most of the time most PRs are small and can be squashed into a single commit, and still produce useful history.

Sometimes it makes sense to have multiple commits. The next step up the complexity ladder is:

- one preparatory refactoring commit that does _not_ change behaviour

- one simple commit that changes behaviour
Well you're building nothing, your poking at a black box and hoping it spits out something close to what you want.

An attacker could call the post back with a code generated for another client_id. When you use the code to query who logged in, Facebook will still respond, even if the code was not generated for your client_id

Rinse and repeat - someone complains about cloud provider, a cloud provider person shows up and makes a "we want to hear more about your problems" statement, people reply, they do nothing. How many times has this happened? I'm more disgusted by the farce than by the lack of action.

My mother in law has an apple TV. Most of the time it just works, but sometimes Netflix or whatever just decides to log out and then I have to help her log back in. Another day an app froze and had to be force closed. She doesn't understand that the Apple TV is the box under her TV or that the apps are computer programs. It's just the TV for her. So after several hours of no TV she told me the TV didn't work. I came, hold the menu button for 3 seconds and then it worked again.

Short story: When it works it's no problem. She can navigate between netflix and other streaming services, but once something freeze or she has to log in or whatever she is lost. My dad is a little bit better, but he has problems understanding accounts and logins. Using your e-mail address as username is actually confusing for older folks.
Yes, and there's _still_ not 1080p everywhere! There was a talk on Demuxed 2023 _yesterday_, where the last sentence in the abstract is:

Have you ever tried to cross one? In the UK pedestrians technically have priority at roundabouts now but this doesn't change anything with basically no drivers giving way (and no enforcement). The best compromise is an underpass for pedestrians but this creates a really confusing layout (you always go the wrong way the first time) and the usual dark/dingy/scary problems with underpasses.
Amazing to see a "What is a roundabout?" article living in UK. The way they are put in over here you get the idea traffic engineers not only love them, they are in love with them. I largely detest them, if I'm very honest. They can be done really well, but most aren't.

For this software to be appealing it would need to really be type-safe, meaning you'd need to use TypeScript. Type-safe means I can change an interface in project B and project A that depends on B now shows me errors in the editor exactly where I need to visit to fix it. If that isn't happening, it can't be called type-safe or generalized to that term. Currently it's a type-unsafe HTTP endpoint runtime type validator.

He said no service at all. When traveling, and you have an old phone with eSIM support, carrying it with you in a backpack (with eSIM information ready to go) is a good idea. Especially when traveling alone, you never know what will happen. Your primary phone can be stolen, you drop it, or it simply dies and you need rescue.

Type safety originates from academia, where it refers to the fact that unexpected (ill-typed) operations are prevented. It does not necessarily require any sort of static checking, even though the two are often associated.

Type safety means that no operation receives "unexpected" inputs, but the definition of "unexpected" is not fixed in stone and can vary depending on the context, which makes it a fuzzy concept. If I only define + on integers, and allow `"a"+"b"`, then that's unexpected and must be prevented somehow to be type safe. If I define + on integers or strings, it is fine.

Here using "type safe" is warranted, because the system prevents you from making HTTP calls with unexpected arguments - even though the validation occurs at runtime and the result may be an exception.

(Edit: well to be strictly fair it's not really type-safe because nothing prevents the HTTP endpoint's expected arguments to change under your feet)
Nit: SQLite `random()` returns a full 64-bit signed integer, so `random() < 0.5` in SQLite is (very) slightly different from others. The relevant portion of SQLite source code by the way is the `pushDownWhereTerms` function in select.c [1]; apparently it doesn't do the deterministic function check (i.e. `SQLITE_FUNC_CONSTANT`).

You can indeed use Retrieval-Augmented Generation or question and answering. Is this not what "Uploading a pdf" or Advanced Data Analytics do in ChatGPT Plus under the hood? Another point of finetuning a model is to caputure the behaviour and underlying "reasoning" that comes with it. The token limit is another reason why RAG might not be enough if you want more than just Q&A with an LLM.

How would you positively identify LLM-written text? There's definitely a 'style' that's recognizable as "sounds like ChatGPT" but short of specific cliches (apparently for a while there were a lot of Amazon listings containing the text "As a large language model...")

Take-home test that takes 4-8 hours to solved? I.e. a whole working day. That's just ridiculous, IMO.
Pilots (at least to get the PPL) train at least around 40-60 hours on a live aircraft before flying solo. That's more rigorous, yet very close in principle to what we have in place to obtain a driver's permit, I'd argue.
Sounds cool, even if somewhat likely to get you into a dead-end now and then.
You mean the marketing blurb? Those tend to carry low information value, sometimes even negative - as in, if you didn't know anything else about the book, reading the blurb will make you even more wrong about it than you were. This is a common feature of marketing copy.
The issue with averaging is that over large inputs, it drowns out small signal. For example, there is a chance that it completely loses a reference to something made only in a single sentence somewhere in a large document.

> This is factually incorrect. React is 6.4kB minified. What you are talking about is a bundle of React and ReactDOM.

If you look at my comment again, you may notice that I wrote "react-dom". I checked before writing.

> If you are saying “React is bigger than X”, you are comparing apples to oranges unless X can also do what React does. Which, per my previous comment, none of those frameworks can.

Does preact need a preact-dom library ten times its own size? Does lit? What is it that they do not do?
It is better for the car occupants to be in a heavier car. IIRC, US road deaths of people outside the car have doubled over the last ~20Y because of the rise of the SUV and its ilk. European safety rules take into account people outside the car in the notion of 'safety'; I don't think that US safety rules do.

I don't know the legal specifics, but in some countries I've noticed all public WiFi requires PII. It's become more and more common. I mean you can still find open ones at like small hipster coffee shops, but it's to the point where it's quite rare/inconvenient

You usually know if a country's wifi will be a pain in the ass by going to a Starbucks and seeing their wifi portal. Some places you need nothing and some they want a birth-certificate/blood-sample

Chat Gallery: Find Photo by AI
By running the OpenAI Clip model locally, "Chat Gallery" Android App can search for photos on your device based on descriptions. Just enter keywords, and you'll immediately find the images you're looking for. For instance, imagine a photo scenario like "watching the sunrise at the beach". Simply input the corresponding description to quickly locate it. "Chat Gallery" won't upload your photos to the cloud; it just calculates the image index during its initial run. The app recognizes people, animals, colors, weather, locations, and even the emotions conveyed in the photos.Download Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cooke.picklight

Ah, those traffic dividers, clearly designed by people assuming that all roads should be limited access...

"All those safety devices, including roundabouts, increase fatigue and danger."

They literally distract from the traffic when you aren't in a little isolated house on wheels where people are prone to forget that traffic even exists. All those things designed to help getting a driver's eyes off WhatsApp require cyclists to get their eyes away from traffic.

On the topic of roundabouts, one thing I rarely see discussed (never?) is that traffic lights conveniently compress the vehicle stream into packets of high and low intensity, greatly helping smaller intersections downstream. Roundabouts on the other hand flatten the vehicle frequency and of there's a difficult place to enter or cross the stream, even a modest amount of traffic can be too much. In the end everything that isn't a roundabout can only be navigated by relying on someone in the dominant stream showing off compassion with those waiting. This makes everything go even slower and you quickly end up with even dominant streams going less than walking speeds.

I have a hypothesis that roundabout-dominated road graphs are particularly prone to effective throughput dropping once a certain threshold of throughput demand is reached. Traffic light dominated graphs are immune to this if drivers are just a little careful to not enter an intersection before they can assume that they will be able to leave before the lights change.

Write some automated analysis that looks up popular packages on npm, pub.dev, rubygems, nuget. "Rustify" the package names. Add to it frequently used words, maybe popular names, etc. Then, write a script that creates an empty package, registers a name on crates.io every thirty seconds, and then you have about 20k package names after a week that nobody can use.

- Invite-only boards

- Integrated audio huddles

- Comments everywhere

- Sticker / emoji style voting

- Templates for easy re-use

- Shapes for organizing content
