Ah, yes, the classic internet tactic of making up so-called "fallacies" to avoid engaging with the other person's actual arguments.
Certainly in Illinois it would be a crime to violate the TOS of a website. Misdemeanor for first offense, felony for second, IIRC.
I have always found it absurd that Linux insists on stable syscall ABI, and yet does not have a standard driver API.

Hopefully, the world will migrate to a better system at some point. It will be exactly the opposite: It will not provide a stable syscall ABI, and it will have a standard driver API.

Incidentally, it'll be microkernel, multiserver.

Many articles will then be written about the maintenance burden Linux had, and how we should have done this much earlier.
I get Spinal Tap vibes from this.
Fig autocomplete is really cool! With the Fig aquisition, what do you forsee happening to Fig's autocomplete offering in the long and short term? My impression is that Amazon was interested more in the other parts of your tech, with the scripts and automation capabilities.
strength training helps a lot in preventing injuries. I've been through years of achilles tendonitis and finally got rid of it mostly by doing leg/calf strength exercises.

Fwiw, here's some example exercises for Achilles: https://routineshub.com/public/1faae50e-8d36-4eec-84ee-ae3ef...
To a broad degree, the industry self-regulates and comes up with its own safety mechanisms, guidelines, hardware and software controls, etc.

I used to be a member of ILDA [1], which developed a number of the protocols, serialization formats, and safety measures. They'll certify hardware and operators, and they'll kick out members that engage in crowd scanning. They don't really have much of an enforcement mechanism, though.

In the US, the FDA and FAA have regulations on laser displays [2]. You're supposed to apply for variance, but many smaller venues and operators skip this outright.

It can be incredibly dangerous if care isn't taken. These multi-watt lasers can easily burn holes into things, with your tissues being among the easiest.

These folks were clearly crowd scanning at eye level.

Blocked or not blocked from china's market, hindering US companies from developing and becoming leaders in emerging new technologies will not help the US stay ahead.

China wants to catch up, and they will with or without US help. The only question is whether the USA will work to remain competitive by mastering new domains, or whether it will sit back on it's laurels and the technology it's already mastered.

The development of cheap and ubiquitous RISC-V processors has major implications for the economics of putting software into devices. When modern military and civilian tech relies on doing that? This is one of the areas you need to be pushing into to stay competitive.
Glass correlates with higher levels of carbon emissions, but doesn't cause it.

At Silo, wine causes a lot of headaches. Their solution is to use wind-powered transport ships. Then, they turn the waste glass into tiles. So, the carbon footprint is low.

If you can tolerate slow shipping, then the carbon footprint can be reduced. So, well-preserved food in glass (as opposed to, say, flowers in plastic) can have a lower environmental impact. Plus, glass can be reasonably reused or recycled.
They are still in business, now called American science and surplus, but the catalog is still good and free.
If the blacklights are LEDs they are UV-A and safe. UV-C LEDs exist, but they are so expensive noone would make a stage lighting fixture out of them.

If they are fluorescent tubes that look kinda purple, black or really deep blue when off, they are UV-A and safe. These tubes use a phosphor to convert UV-C light to UV-A light and are made of wood's glass to filter out all but that UV-A light.

If they are fluorescent tubes that are clear, they are UV-C and unsafe.

Theres a third type that uses phosphor and regular glass that emits UV-A and some white light, but those are almost never seen in stage lighting fixtures.

There are also UV-A arc lamps like the Wildfire IronArc series, which are safe as long as they have the dark purple wood's glass filter installed on them (these lamps do not ship without such a filter, but sometimes you encounter used ones that the filter was broken in or otherwise removed).
So in another decade or two?

Though the difference here is that was common infrastructure managed by large companies.

Low sample sizes leads to funny math.There are 400 Cruise vehicles in SF and 400,000 non-Cruise vehicles in SF.

LA Times re: SF " On average, 30 people die and more than 500 are severely injured in the city's streets each year"

Cruise severely injured 1 pedestrian this year, so sounds like it's 2x worse than human drivers at least. Since there are 1000x more of them and they've only caused 500x the severe injuries. When Cruise causes its first fatality it will immediately be 33x worse.

A person playing Russian Roulette for 1 round successfully may extrapolate that there is zero risk. A person who has played 1000 rounds doesn't exist.

I mean, they for sure have employment contracts that provide stipulations. What those are exactly, I don't know. It's currently not clear whether their involvement is illegal or not. It certainly seems that it was illegal.

It just seems outright wrong that law professors, or any professor, can be part of, help orchestrate, benefit from, and support massive fraud and still keep their jobs. Not only is it wrong, it also just seems like a plain bad idea to have your students learning from such corrupt individuals.

It does not say anything about the gold and silver content.
A spec which uses a new frequency and still makes it impossible to co-exist with existing previous versions of the spec on other, different frequencies is fundamentally dumb.

It would be like if USB-C required any device with USB C to not support any other USB types or specs. Seriously, what the hell!

And no, there is no practical reason for them to be mutually exclusive.
I'm currently limited to mobile, so I don't have he link. Yesterday I got recommended a green laser at freezing temp YouTube video which was interesting. Basically at low temps green lasers are no longer visible because they shift to strong uv light, this includes Christmas decoration lasers which people put in front of their houses. So you think it's off, but it may be cooking your eyes.

So I guess that if they used some shady lasers at the party, it's entirely possible.

I think I also burned my eyes a bit while tinkering with LEDs, I had a pain in them and since then see bad at night. I avoid watching into LEDs at any cost since then.
Well, sure, but so did Hashicorp with terraform for 9 years. Rather successfully mind you. Things and circumstances change.
> Or, you shake me down for more money than we agreed to retain you-- your loyalty is clearly for sale

Who doesn't have a dollar amount that they're willing to walk away from a job for? I've been personal friends with many of my old managers; not one of them didn't understand when I left for a role for a significant pay increase. One of them was even joking with me one day about the talk he had with his manager on what they would have to do to retain me, and his answer was, "they offered him $50k more than we pay him, we won't be retaining him." And most of them were talking to me about their next role's pay bump at one point or another too. And let's say I was working for you, and out of the blue a friend from a previous job is hiring for their team and offers me a similar position for $50k more per year than you're paying me, I'm not going to not take it out of some sense of loyalty. In the words of the wise, "there's always a price and everything is for sale." The products your company offers is generally for sale for as much as is economically feasible, the same way your engineers are selling you their time.

Anyway, your overall point is that as a hiring manager you don't want to stake your time and reputation on people that seem disloyal. My point is both that people are inherently disloyal with their employers (in that their loyalty costs money), and that the signals you use to judge loyalty are, in my opinion, flawed. I can go into why I'm of that opinion, but it's my lesser of the two opinions.

Maybe. Maybe less. Worth worrying about if you're doing a hardware project that's going to be around for a while.

A lot of the time people's home router is tied to their ISP and they have to change it when they switch or move.

Really? My parents had to replace theirs ~5 years ago when the phone company stopped allowing pulse dialing.

Intro to Backend Development (Frontend Dev Friendly) [video]
Just a note that if you're _serious_ about WiFi on the Raspberry Pi... you should use an external WiFi adapter—either PCIe or USB. (Mentioned in the article, but in general, the WiFi chips built into SBCs of all varieties... aren't great.)

With the Compute Module 4, I've successfully tested a variety of adapters [1], from WiFi 6E to older mini PCIe and M.2 cards. There's even a board made for the purpose of multi-WiFi testing, the Seaberry [2].

The Raspberry Pi 5 works with all the PCIe WiFi chips I've tested (haven't had time to summarize testing on pipci database site yet), including a mt7921u-based WiFi 6E USB adapter (haven't written that up, but check out [3]).

Thus far, it remains undetermined, as things are still in progress.

> On January 30, 2023 the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals ruled after an appeal that LTL's bankruptcy should be dismissed on the grounds that LTL was not in financial distress, reversing a previous ruling by the Bankruptcy Court. On April 4, 2023, LTL filed for a second bankruptcy. On July 28, 2023, Chief Judge Michael Kaplan of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New Jersey dismissed the second bankruptcy.

This is common to how it has played out before. Promises of funding, pledges, that then evaporate.

The entity that J&J spun off has attempted multiple times to declare bankruptcy, only to be thwarted some. When the Third Circuit made their ruling, they stated that "the time was not right" and questioned the amount of funding.

LTL re-filed for bankruptcy three hours after this ruling. (Why, was the time right, in the afternoon?)

Georgia Pacific did the same with Best Wall. Stood there in court and said they'd "fully fund" the liabilities into Best Wall, and that they'd put an initial $1B into seeding that entity. Court ruled, and things moved forward. At which point GP said "Actually, we meant $175M. And we meant that's all we'll ever fund."

St Gobain did the same thing. Faced with an estimated $50B+ in liabilities, they spun off another company, and promised to fully fund it. They ended up putting less than $100M in.

So audacious was St Gobain that they were laid into by the court:

> Gross testified that Saint-Gobain repeatedly misrepresented its intent in creating the subsidiary that eventually filed for bankruptcy, calling executives’ testimony and other statements “misleading” and “not truthful.” U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Craig Whitley followed Gross’s testimony last August with factual findings that included his own blistering critique of the executives’ statements as “contrary to the evidence,” saying the company’s story “strains credibility.”

When only four firms have tried this, and three of them have had the same outcome (which drastically protected those companies), and the fourth is using the same playbook (because all four used the same law firm), we (and Matt) need to forgive a healthy skepticism over "fully funded, for reals this time" when it comes to the Texas Two Step.

In this case there appear to be other ways. Ape holders could '+1' for the whole three-day event for $269 (US$ I think).

It also appears[1] that the party was after an open day of sorts, and you could buy tickets[2] for the open day and party for 388HK$ (about $50 US).

It is a little hard to tell exactly what the open house included and whether it gave access to the event that had the problem, so I could be wrong.

Same here! What keys/combinations are you usually using right now?
Just a nitpick, there are several definitions of unemployment. Technically all are increasing (U6, which you linked is +0.3 in the last year) but you're still correct about them being near all time lows. Definitely within normal variance range and I'd be pressed to call it "increasing" from a point of worrying rather than a "well technically" point. (this is why I hate when people are like "x has risen <huge number>%!" -- or decreased -- because it doesn't matter if the numbers are still low. +7.5% increase in unemployment sounds like a lot but it isn't because the baseline is still low. +7% of 6.7% is very different than +7% of 10%)

A lot of people actually refused.

That's why Python 2.7.x was kept alive an updated for several years, the Python 3 Wall of Shame existed, new projects were started in Python 2 by default anyway, and so on.

Kind of in a similar boat!

Been learning Korean to speak more with my girlfriend’s family, especially since we’re going to Korea soon.

My biggest waves of improvement have come from reading aloud the Talk to Me in Korean books.

I’ve found that getting the structure of the sentences has helped me and then I learn vocabulary by using what I interact with on a day-to-day basis.

There’s also a Korean slang book by Talk to Me in Korean which is really great too! Helps break out of the “learned it from a textbook” sound.
Yeah definitely the more auxiliary use-cases. Display and analytics, remote access and networking.
It’s incorrect to say that Cruise severely injured a pedestrian. The pedestrian was hit by a human driver (who then fled the scene). The first collision knocked the pedestrian into the path of the Cruise vehicle. The Cruise vehicle tried to swerve to avoid the pedestrian, then slammed on the brakes and stopped within 20ft. A human driver in the same situation would have done the same or worse.
Varies by dept to dept but some of the phase 1 grants can be up to a quarter or a half million dollars.

They’re grants, too. If your research flops, you’re not on the hook for it.

If you make it to phase three, congratulations! You’re now a supplier of a government procurement contract, and the government paid for your entire R&D effort, plus your salaries along the way.

Your comment makes it seem like a bad thing. Waymo has the right approach: only applying their technology where they are confident it will not cause issues.

Parenting. I’m spending a lot of time thinking about how to prepare my kid to grow up around the internet, smartphones, and AI. Our technology often takes an indifferent or even cynical view of children, and I can’t understand why there aren’t better tools available (e.g. smartphone designs) that put their developmental needs ahead of the need to exploit them for immediate profit.

RAG requires at least both dense retrieval as well as sparse retrieval, vector search is used to serve as the former one.

Yes, but you can’t use it if you enable 6ghz according to the 6E specification.
Disclaimer: I can't read the article. But this is my understanding of this particular scam:

It's not that they advertised normal hangers and sent small hangers. Technically, they advertised small hangers. You can't tell that from the photos (no size reference) so most people just assume that they're selling big hangers. They design the listing as misleadingly as possible, so that you have to read very very carefully to catch it.

If they just shipped a brick then they've committed fraud. If they ship a product that's technically exactly as described, then in a sense it's the buyer's "fault" for not being more careful about what they were buying. Many buyers will even blame themselves once they realize and not issue a dispute.
It’s more reliable than chatpdfs that relies on vector search. With vector db all you are doing is doing a fuzzy search and then sending in that relevant portion near that text and send it to a LLM model as part of a prompt. It misses info.
Ads too. How the mighty have fallen?
Violin for me! Been going at it for a bit more than 3 years and have just started learning one of the Bach Sonatas.

It feels great to have a direct output from effort put in. The combination of physical and concentrated mental effort leaves me feeling refreshed after a good practice.
Shipping a brick gets their account terminated. Shipping miniatures means when there is a dispute or refund attempt "You didn't read the item description. We had the item specs in their showing the item size, not our fault." I don't know about other market places but this has been a scam on eBay for decades.
"Rewind compresses, transcribes, encrypts, and stores your data locally so only you have access." sounds good.

I'm surprised that this got posted on Hacker News and got enough attention. It was designed mostly for China's special situation.

China only has a handful nodes for connecting to the rest of the world. Each of the node is conceptually a single router handling billions of connections. The conventional model of congestion control algorithm breaks down:

1. The exit nodes are always under congestion. By conventional wisdom of congestion control, we should reduce our speed to wait until the congestion is resolved. That is, to reduce speed to 0 and wait until infinity.

2. The exit nodes cannot do real time traffic shaping of individual connections due to the sheer amount of them. As a result, the packet loss and RTT changes are mostly random noise. Basing the send rate on random noise does not make sense.

3. Even if one connection halves its rate, it only improves the situation by less than 0.000000001%.

4. If I sustain a high speed (300 Mbps) for several hours, my connection to the same server will be throttled heavily for at least a week. So the exit nodes probably have an offline batch job picking out outliers and put them in a naughty list.

So the only thing that matters to an end user like me is to stay below the naughty threshold. Beyond that, dynamically adjusting the send rate on packet loss or RTT is mostly behavioral art.

Per my own experiment, keeping around 90 Mbps for long will not trigger the punishment of the exit node (or my ISP). Meanwhile, BBR gives only about 45 Mbps, and Cubic 15 Mbps (barely usable).

This is all assuming that the exit nodes are the bottleneck. When other parts of the network can be the bottleneck too, such as a crowded restaurant WiFi, I switch to BBR for the congestion control.

In addition, rest assured that Brutal will not see widespread adoption. In most cases, the sever does not know the bandwidth of the client, and cannot or will not trust the bandwidth data sent from the client. It's only in the special case where both the server and client are controlled by the same person where Brutal can be applied.
If oil were expensive, plastic would probably still be used in all the places it is used today because it is lighter and a large percentage of oil goes into the transportation of goods.

I actually don't have a problem with plastic, at least in theory. Oil exists in the ground. I don't see an issue with pumping it up, using it for a bit, and putting it back into the ground via a landfill. I take more of an issue with recycling where plastic is shipped overseas and makes its way into the waterways.
They aren't dropping ARM64EC, it's still fully supported and how Visual Studio and Office run native. It is based on x64 emulation support, however, so it requires Windows 11. Snapdragon 835 is officially unsupported by Windows 11; 850 is conditionally supported, but IIRC at one point it didn't support hardware 3D acceleration in x64 apps.
Studying the relation between just how volatile SPY 0-day-to-expiration options are in regards to the underlying. A 1% directional move in SPY can yield a 1600%+ in most cases if you can time it right in regards to direction + strike.
