The article seems to indicate that pedestrian collisions are common during this maneuver, even if deaths are unlikely. Given that collisions are costly (injuries, insurance) and damaging (make people afraid of streets, make neighborhoods less safe for people to inhabit), it doesn't seem irrational to try to reduce them, deadly or not.
What car would you recommend to a family of five?

I have 2 kids and when we go for a trip the my Citroen c4 is full. Would I have one more kid it’s no way we can fit into this car, despite it has 5 seats.

Should we stop thinking about road trips and consider only plane/train/bus? Or should we consider only van/caravan?

I support the argument that unnecessary consumption should be penalised somehow, but I do not support blanket type rules that may discriminate absolutely reasonable people, like those with more than 2 kids.
SUVs emit more climate damaging gas than older cars do, study finds
I don't think that's true, but watching the presentation, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyPcXWIB990 specially the last part, where the researcher explains why he wasn't paid by the bounty, sounds like they still have a lot to improve.
> The first really good video codec was MPEG-4 H.264. I remember in 2001 my housemate watching a movie on his telly — playing off a CD-R. A whole movie crammed onto a CD, encoded with DivX!

H264 didn't exist in 2001.
At the time DivX was really a hacked Microsofts codec to allow encodes outside of .ASF files. This MS codec was a decent codec using standard Mpeg4 part 2 Simple Profile.

XviD was opensource effort to ditch ms hacked codec, and eventually it went to support other profiles, like ASP (advanced simple profile).

Much later some enterprising people figured that they could ride on the DivX name popularity. So they wrote own mpeg4 part2 codec and called themselves DivX LLC. Even much later this company also released h264 and h265 codecs. Hence maybe the confusion by the article author on what was used in 2001.
Isn't k8s ingress itself the reverse proxy?
Tay was before GPT right? How was it able to converse so well?
The worst vulnerability, the RCE, was patched before Microsoft was even notified. The others are definitely bugs, but they do require valid credentials, which limit explotiability and therefore risk.

These aren't nearly as bad as many of the CVEs that other vendors patch every week.

It's hard to say what kind of files an authenticated user can read on fhr exchange server without the details on the vulnerabilities.
I use a very long and inconvenient password for LUKS, and a simpler one for login and root. My lock screen is more a convenience in a trusted environment and not security. The TPM only solution sounds like it would require my very long password every time I leave my desk to get coffee.
I've been trying to do all that without cloud synchronization.

Currently, I have only three devices, so I get away with ´rsync´ing directories when at home. Firefox syncs over my Mozilla account so that's fire-and-forget.

It's far from perfect or hassle-free, but I don't want to pay for yet another subscription if I can do without it.
You might want to check out IFTTT[1], which was pretty popular. Here are a few more automation services to explore - https://docs.inboxstartup.com/build/automation

If making such a change, why not make it even simpler: use year + day number in year. e.g. today is 2023 day 309 (or day 308 if more sensible 0-based indexing would be used)

And keep the named 7-day week cycle as-is independently of that, this one has been going for millenia and we need some weekends after all
Tesseract is the current best open source OCR library.

When looking at the “best” prop solution, there are a few worth mentioning:

- If you are looking for the best OCR to DOCX solution, ABBYY OCR SDK is the front runner. Their OCR engine is not AS accurate as others I’ll mention, but their output engine (I.e. taking data beyond just the character, like bold or underlined or font name) is probably the best in the market.

- Google Document AI/Cloud Vision is probably the best all-around OCR. The 2 flavors determine whether you want to handle scanned PDFs/images (DocAI) or generalized photos (Cloud Vision). I believe they also have some level of training capabilities via Vertex but I haven’t checked it out.

- IRIS OCR.. Meh

- AWS Textract and Azure Vision are worth mentioning as contenders, but just like Google Document AI, they’re cloud based and that may factor into your decision.

- I haven’t tried DocTR or Paddle OCR
It is a sorting network corresponding to bubble sort on 5-element input.

It is actually pretty good - the code uses 10 comparisons, while the optimal sorting network for 5 elements uses 9: https://bertdobbelaere.github.io/sorting_networks.html#N5L9D...
The title could be better, Grok doesn’t say anything like its from Twitter.
Systemd is packed with impressive things.

The more you research it, the more you find to be impressed with.
Can confirm. We have an outsourcing op that uses only Teams. We tend to just avoid talking to them so we don't have to use it.
Email obfuscation rendered almost ineffective against ChatGPT
Today it absolutely is harder to pay than to pirate.

It was easy when everything noteworthy was on Netflix. You payed for Netflix and got easy access directly on your TV to most trending content. This was more convenient than piracy.

Now the landscape is balkanaized and no one subscribes to all streaming platforms. You can never predict if something of interest will be present on the platform you subscribe to. Do you then subscribe to another service? Now you have to remember to unsubscribe. Do you rotate services and binge watch? Now you are not up to date and risk hearing/reading spoilers. This is less convenient than piracy.
That's cool, but it's expected since CSS is Turing complete as long as you consider an appropriate accompanying HTML file and user interactions to be part of the execution.
As much as I'm a space nerd and avid sci-fi reader myself, I'm not that convinced. We have plenty of places on earth that are more hospitable and cheaper to get to compared to space, like the bottom of the ocean and mountain tops. Some of those places even have valuable metals to mine. And I don't see people rushing to live and work there. I'm not saying space colonization can't make sense, or that it won't happen. My gut feeling is, it will happen but not in the way we envision today, similar to the vision of flying cars. Where the technology is there to make it possible, but the economics make it impractical as of now. Also the whole biosphere destruction is not gonna put our focus elsewhere, except for those that want to flee into some expensive escape fantasy.
Only lasts 5 years, and doesn't affect cars with emissions < 150gCO2/km (which a lot of hybrids will fall into).
That doesn't sound too strange. A lot of 'official' stuff in Germany is/was still done through physical letters because of legal requirements.
Then again, an attacker can read the decryption key from RAM (freeze and remove the modules, then dump the memory on another system) and decrypt the disk offline.

So, data on a stolen laptop which has an unprotected TPM (no PIN to boot) can be considered compromised.
You’d be amazed by the number of things people could do themselves but need an app for.
I mean you answered it yourself. They have a product that is basically marginally free to produce, but that customers do seem to assign a marginal value to. Of course you'd try to charge for it.
I reckon most people complaining about RHEL:
- never really needed to use an enterprise OS, they could have just used any other *nix.
- don't understand that what Red Hat is doing is perfectly in line with not only Open Source but also Free Software

If you hate Red Hat or IBM, just don't use it and move on, use a community driven OS which is a lot easier and is probably a lot more flexible, you are not going to convince any enterprise to drop their RHEL subscriptions.

As many have pointed out: the support is RHEL, not the code, the code without Red Hat support and contracts is useless.
Of course Starship is a better design now, but the VentureStar had a shot a full reusability long before it, and all that with a small fraction of the Cost-plus budget of the Space Shuttle.

The Dream Chaser certainly doesn't achieve full reusability, and it is doubtful whether it is even overall better than Dragon on Starliner.
To my knowledge Ubuntu does not use the TPM2 PCR logic systemd provides at all, but their own.
I'd prefer that they send me the contracts over fax. My fax number is nil.
If you ask the same from ChatGPT, but prefix with "be succint, imagine you're a teenage edgelord, ...", the responses are similar, but actually also answer the thing you asked for. If you're after the snarky version, try something like "Rick and Morty scene where Morty asks ...".

The responses I've seen from grok are really not much better than that, so even the novelty is not really there.

I got a nice orgy as well (and a good quality explanation at the same time) when I used "imagine you're a teenage edgelord trying to impress friends with knowledge, explain why scaling API requests is hard, feel free to use spicy phrases and sex references" - the Grok example didn't even actually go vulgar either when asked.
You can use Garmin and pay for their maps product. That’s your choice.
I've been using ChatGPT 4.0 to summarize articles I don't have domain knowledge in, in case anyone is interested: The research looked into whether changing when and for how long mice with lung cancer could eat would affect the growth of their cancer. The idea was that sticking to a strict 6-hour window for eating each day could mess with the cancer's "body clock" and slow its growth. They tested this by allowing some mice to eat whenever they wanted and others only during a 6-hour period.

They used various tests and experiments with cancer cells and mice to see how the restricted eating schedule affected the cancer. The findings were promising: the cancer didn't grow as much in the mice with the restricted eating times. They noticed that this eating pattern seemed to disrupt the activity of a specific gene related to the cancer's internal clock, leading to an increase in a cleanup process in the cells (called autophagy), which helps to break down and recycle parts of the cell.

In simple terms, by controlling when mice ate, researchers were able to slow down the growth of lung cancer. They also think that if they combine this eating strategy with other treatments that turn off the cancer's clock gene, they might get even better results in fighting cancer.
>Yet the only example Musk posted so far (https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1720635518289908042) doesn't actually answer the very mildly spicy question (you can easily search for exact recipes for drugs). Instead it gave a patronising non-answer response, more Rick-style grumpy than humorous.

He seems to have posted the actual answer here:

Rowling isn't a billionaire. She probably could of been, but she's made a ton of charitable donations thanks to her having ethics.

Last I heard she had about £800 million which I'm sure keeps her and hers very very comfortable.
Now that speech to text is quite amazing and LLMs are pretty good at fixing things I've been really wondering when there will be an easy way to go from LLM to my own self hosted apps like creating calendar events (especially in the past which AFAIK none of the assistants can do) or adding things to my nectcloud todolist via caldav or just adding notes to my daily note in obsidian.

I feel like someone must be making a easy tool to point llm at your own api but I haven't seen it yet.
Its also used in manufacturing, tire date codes for instance are week.year or year.week

Interesting. I have been wondering why a couple of (running) instances don't show up in the console.
>Book me a tennis court at @club today at 6 pm for 1 hour'

Ok, but can I use my phone to message my tennis court reception to book a session?
systemd has a similar logic, i.e. a recovery key concept, but we made sure you can type it in wherever a LUKS password would work too, even on systems where systemd is not available but LUKS ist. The recovery key is output in yubikey's modhex alphabet which means you can type it in on many keyboards even without setting a keymap first, and will work. We also output it as qr code, in case you want to scan it off. All on all it should be as robust as a recovery key could be.
One contract or so many it got annoying?
For one service alone yes, but if well implemented, the real use case would be: “find me a tennis court where I could play tonight after 6pm and before 9pm for one hour. Make sure I have an Uber on time at my door. Report when you’ve ordered the Uber and where the tennis court will be”
This would take quite some time to organise manually and such a service would make sense
The problem is ironically only exacerbated by electrification as the market for EVs seems to be divided in two: You must seemingly choose between very small cars such as the MiEV, or the gargantuan likes of Teslas. There are no electrical MPVs or stationwagons. And with no carbon emissions, people have less qualms about picking the SUV, turning a blind eye to the production emissions and safety hazards.
If the generative AI isn't good enough to take jobs, then the corporations can't use what they've taken against anyone in creative roles.

(The personal profile/ad tracking/face tracking AI probably still could be used against people, but that doesn't seem to be part of this thread? Correct me if I'm wrong).

> Technically speaking if ai would be as capable as you think it would mean that we wouldnt need said corporations since ai can provide all the services they do - otherwise it would be illogical and contradictory to claim ai can do everything under the sun.

That requires all economic tasks to be simultaneously equally susceptible to AI. So far, not so, though this is certainly the goal.

> Ai is just another tool they want to monopolise.

Can you name a single thing that would go less badly, in the event that all the AI were made public domain?

The projected lifetime of these assets is baked into the LCOE and the LCOE is still 5x lower.

Theres also very little risk to continuing to run solar panels or wind turbines past their projected lifespans whereas if you do that with a nuclear plant the risks of disaster start increasing exponentially. Germany will probably find that a lot of their green energy built today will last a lot longer than projected and this will reduce their electricity prices.
True but that should also tell you that road damage comes almost exclusively from commercial-sized vehicles, coming back to the main point: Added EV weight in passenger cars is a non-issue.
They did it multiple times. With SFC and Game Boy they had "Nintendo Power" cartridges that were essentially flash carts that could be loaded with games at kiosks.
But… how do you think the book got into the library? The state buys the book from the author’s publisher. The author gets paid their royalty. This happens with your tax dollars. This is a good thing, the library system allows authors to receive payment to provide a public good, that can educate citizens who can then make a living. Stealing their work to train an LLM to make a living is not the same thing.
It is sad to me that there seems to be a need to justify not using existing tools. Everyone should feel free to do their own thing within a community. This is a good example poorly expressed I my opinion.
It's amazing how ugly cars have become.

The upsizing is stupid - lots of cars either new versions of renamed versions of old ones but with another layer sandwiched in to make it higher, or just grow all dimensions and more clearance.

A lot of them don't even have much / any more room inside.
I have various SGI machines and while they are cool, they are pretty much useless except for toying around on. And extremely noisy. The O2 is the only one that's usable like a normal PC, except the plastics tend to break during shipping.

The rackmount Tezros and Origin 350s sound like they belong at the airport.
As I said, not a tutorial. But I did want to introduce some interesting CSS "switches" and "booleans" that may become useful in some strange scenario in the future for you!
I open a link about an article claiming that "right turn on red" kills pedestrians, and the fist 3 paragraphs are about a lady having to fix her bike.

So yeah, not the best start to make your point.
Others will carry the torch. Silk Road was proof of that. Of course, it’s little consolation to Ulbricht, but he deserved to be imprisoned for ordering hits. (Incidentally, I was skeptical of that claim till https://youtu.be/GpMP6Nh3FvU?si=q0KXzP2FNJDin2tW.)

The benefit of Anna’s Archive is that they have goodwill on their side. They are trying to contribute to academic research directly, whereas libgen seems to prioritize profit (and has to, to survive).

Anna’s Archive does that too. The "donations" are actually paying to access features. But by proactively reaching out to the academic community like this, they’ll make a lot of powerful allies.

EDIT: on second thought, how does libgen monetize? I thought they ran ads, but I just realized I didn’t verify that.

Whoever runs a library like this for altruistic reasons stands to win. The desire to get rich is most of the problem with doing shady things scalably. One can argue that it’s the risk/reward tradeoff, but I suspect as technology makes everything more accessible, an operation like this only costs a few thousand a month. That’s achievable while flying under the radar long enough to hopefully avoid getting in a lot of trouble.

Of course, as with death note, everything comes down to: don’t get caught.
Why the fuck would you want more stuff powered through the most garbage connector ever made? I know the government is trying to impoverish us by requiring usb-c but you're not supposed to like it. There's even people suggesting using it for resistive heating appliances. Is the article prophetic and the government doesn't want us to have a hot plate to cook anything bigger than a thumbnail?
Because damage to the road increases by something like the weight increase ^ 4.
Uber only by itself, would be pointless. What about something that could connect to all limousine and taxi services and provide you with the best solution for what you’re asking? “I can’t get you an Uber right now, but it looks like a taxi from your local company is available, shall I book it now?”
Messing with other people’s cars is not great, there should be better solutions.
Agreed. Palaver with no actionable advice.
Pricing is the main issue. API's usually aren't free, especially as you grow your business. Most consumers don't have a problem with their main apps; if you can't create this service for free or a super low cost, it's hard to get buy-in.

Most apps also want to make it easy for you to do repetitive tasks quickly. Doordash has a "recent orders" section where I can tap to reorder. That's pretty seamless.

This general idea holds across most large consumer apps: if something is done repetitively, the app has a way to make that process faster. As such, a personal assistant only becomes useful for edge cases like "ordering from a new restaurant where you already know what you want and know that it's on Doordash."

Even in your example of "book a tennis court at 6," you might run into issues. What if the court is booked at 6? I might have secondary times in mind, or I might be willing to settle for a 45 minute session if it's available. All of this is easier to deal with using a calendar interface. And what if different times cost different amounts of money? I wouldn't necessarily know what amount that hour at 6 would cost, and that may matter to me.

Poimt being that these apps work well for one thing: tasks that you do repetitively many times, that aren't sped up by the original app itself, and where things won't change. That ends up being a pretty limited usecase, even if you can keep the service cheap.
Thanks for the extra detail. I have been wanting to build a dedicated Jellyfin client for a TV for a while to avoid any 'Smart' TV festures. Does your system boot directly into Kodi? I have been wanting to build something similar for a Jellyfin player. Did you set up an IR remote as well?
How do you define ‘power’? Absent government regulation that can result in pathologies, a corporation only exists if customers are happy with its services. If Amazon makes me unhappy I’ll just take my money to alternatives.

No corporation forces me to do anything. They offer services and I’m free to buy or not from whomever.
It doesn’t have to monetize well, it just has to monetize enough to make up for the tiny amount of CPU involved in putting it together.
You're 100% correct, but for our users it sure seems like a bug.
That only has value if you can simplify to “I’d like to play tennis between 6 and 9 tonight; please arrange that.”

Having to write/speak the assembly language of each component of that every time in chat is not going to win in the market.
Out of curiosity, how much of that FPGA did that configuration occupy?
Yes, pretty sad. Even worse, these 20% coding can be fixing bugs in different projects your team work on, and on which you have only a basic understanding.

The percentage of coding on a project that I get to design is even lower.
I had been wondering what leaders are, thanks!
Is it a crime to steal a crypto wallet. Razzlekhan and hubby were convicted of money laundering with the latter also being charged with hacking BitFinex.
But are you encouraging your developers to implement such approach?

Everywhere I've worked, managers are pushing devs to close tickets, implement features as fast as possible. Usually they are fine with implementation of happy path only, leaving tons of technical debt to the far future.

If someone puts an extra effort to have perfect system - that means they will look less productive than their peers.
Management-speak or not, it's correct. Software development is much more social than it was when I started. Pairing and mobbing get better results faster.
This is one of those posts where someone in a profession mistakes their professional experience for the understanding of how people work. Although not explicit, there is perhaps an implication that one should TRY to have these things to be brilliant.

Many of these habits are a byproduct of personality traits, which are largely plastic. Tinkering and lots of projects indicates high levels of Openness(HEXACO- openness to experience). Low Neuroticism can play a large part in the point about environmental fragility.

Great software engineers can (from MY experience and largely the collective commentary of hacker news) have a variety of dispositions.
It is misinfo. According to Ukraine’s authority, there was no turn-off at the moment in question. Also it was turned on at some point and there have been no problems since, at least as of September 2023. Long but worth reading interview.

”This specific case everybody's referring to, there was a shutdown of the coverage over Crimea, but it wasn't at that specific moment. That shutdown was for a month. There might have been some specific cases I'm not aware of. But I'm totally sure that throughout the whole first period of the war, there was no coverage at all.

…

There have been no problems since it's been turned on over Crimea.”
