Funny you should mention that. I stayed at an AirBnB a while back that I selected precisely because the listing mentioned that a garage was available. It turned out that yes, you could use the garage, but the remote was not provided by the host. So I had to disengage the door and lift it manually, then close it behind me when I left every morning.

"Fuck that," I said to myself, as any self-respecting hacker would. "I'll just hook a $20 remote key fob switch from Home Depot up to the button on the garage wall."

That's when I found that they actually DRM'ed the button. The usual pair of wires was there, but I couldn't open the door by simply shorting them together. There were several ICs on a PC board inside the button housing doing Woz knows what. So, back to lifting the door manually.

This is only going to get worse. It will get worse because we let them go this far.

Looks like PD spec varies voltage all the way up to +48V which supports 240W of power, so 5A@48V.

Using a calculator like at https://www.omnicalculator.com/physics/wire-size a 1m cable with a relatively user friendly max wire temp of 40c asks for a diameter of 0.6mm. Looks like there is 4 VBUS pins and even tho it's reversible I imagine for full power it requires all 4 (or all 4 must be connected to "support" the spec).

In theory you could have reduced wire diameter and spread current across the 4 VBUS wires, or have a single wire of the correct diameter and then connect to all 4 VBUS at the connector but everything is stranded wire in those cables anyway and I assume there's some complex maths to do to figure out the best for it.

It is super freaking cool, though. It makes me wonder if many household appliances can't just use usb c. I don't know how much further they can raise the voltage beyond that though seeing as there's all the electrical safety rules on conductor spacing etc to avoid arcing/flash over.
There's a whole post there. It's not just one out of context sentence. Maybe focus on the examples I gave to support that sentence.
My point is you have a societal issue if you have thousands of workers migrating who are looking to work and willing to work for less. You can either choose to house and feed them and prevent them from working, or you can realize labor is cheaper.
Interesting. Maybe this would work with OpenApi (aka swagger) schema
I'm glad this works for you but this is far from a universal solution. It's true that thirst is often mistaken for hunger and in those cases this can work.

Personally when I wake up I quickly need a meal – I always drink a glass of water in the morning and it does very little, but if I have a black coffee the caffeine gets rid of my hunger for a few hours.
Still, linking out to socials and encouraging brigading is pretty gross.
You are correct, however picking floats uniformly like that is much more difficult, as some values should be thousands of orders of magnitude more likely to be picked than others. It's much easier to implement a generator that randomizes the mantissa and calls it a return.
Make no mistake however: even though xorshift128+ is a huge improvement over MWC1616, it still is not cryptographically secure. For use cases such as hashing, signature generation, and encryption/decryption, ordinary PRNGs are unsuitable. The Web Cryptography API introduces window.crypto.getRandomValues, a method that returns cryptographically secure random values, at a performance cost.

If the 256 bit private key of the encryption is derived from a large character set ( A-Z, 1-9, etc.), it does not matter if the RNG is not perfect. I am assuming it's not an online channel.

This is explained in more detail here https://www.reddit.com/r/cryptography/comments/fw2cdu/can_yo...
Orders of magnitude make a huge difference. Sequestering 99.9% of carbon and releasing 0.1% of it as methane is a major win.
You got really lucky on your maintenance then. Unless you're doing the oil changes yourself, those alone should have run you at least $1,000 (and probably more because you should have been changing your air filters too). And it sounds like you never had to do brakes (which come up sooner on ICE cars because EVs have regenerative braking).

But to be clear you're an outlier. Most 2003 cars can't get away with such low maintenance costs.
also offer alternatives, preferably at the same time you communicate the risk. When the risk hits you can then start making recommendations about the workarounds you've already communicated.

This stuff is fluid but too many technical people feel as if it's not.
> they contain only the application and what it needs.

Delusion level: over 9900.

I'm yet to find a container that contains only the application and what it needs. Most of the time I find that they contain at least libc and libpthreads (which are already present on the host, so not needed). More often I find metric tonnes of garbage that was not necessary by any metric, but was just too hard to remove, so was allowed to stay.
My understanding is that the best thing you can do in finance is make loads of money, but the second best thing you can do is set loads of money on fire.
Neumann still retains an incredible level of confidence and respect from many of the people who know him. never met the man personally but it's kind of a trip. even from people who i suspect are less clouded by whatever world-class charisma he works. i'm not sure what's true and not but i'm also not surprised he's the keynote.
If I'd never played Dark Souls, I almost certainly would have played Elden Ring. As it is, I'm sticking to my lifetime boycott of the franchise though.
the idea is that within the function body you would rather refer to the variables as e.g. `for s in string.match(pattern)` than `for s in in.match(each)`
"Dry contact" is what a button does—connect two leads together when it's being pressed, otherwise not. Older garage doors simply have a pair of wires for this that gets run to where you mount the button on the wall. You can just splice into that and have the microcontroller connect them when it wants to open/close.

I thought all garage doors had this, but from ratgdo's website I learned that the newer Security+ 2.0 ones don't. Possibly as part of the same money grab to prevent local/third-party; paulgerhardt's comment nicely explains the motivation for that. [1]

Being arrested, even if it you were innocent and it doesn't lead to a trial or conviction, has very real and harmful consequences to you in the US.

So, it seems that things are Orwellian either way.

I mean, would you rather have an OS that turns your computer into a personal space invasion device that helps a multi-trillion dollar megalith monetize your every breath while consuming a huge portion of the performance of your $1,000 personal computer, or would you rather have a lightweight customizable OS that only does what you tell it to do, doesn't cost you anything, and can do almost everything that the other guy can do just as well for free with no tracking?
Thank you, I was scanning the replies looking for this. If preventing duplicate submissions is a concern, you must prevent it on the server side. You should also try to prevent it on the client for a better UX.
I only recently started editing in OpenStreetMap and its fun! The OSM has a wiki with lots of documentation, and there is page on how to get started here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Getting_Involved

I find working from a computer the most satisfying to contribute. I mostly just make updates on the map for my town, the places I really engage with. Biking is a new hobby of mine, so I've updated bicycle lanes and paths, as well as crosswalks that I come across. I also sometimes update local business information and such.

As someone else noted, Andriod also has the StreetComplete app, which is great for making simple and fast edits. Sometimes when I take the bus or am riding in the passenger seat of a car, I'll use StreetComplete to update the bus stops or street info as I go by.

I also use Komoot for planning cycling routes, which itself uses OpenStreetMap. It's nice to see my edits show up in other places, like Komoot
Prius has 1.3kWh Ni-Cad battery, slightly bigger than my bicycle battery.
Unfortunately it's not actually that different in effect -- Nabu Casa proxy the encrypted TCP connection, rather than terminating TLS and proxying HTTP, which is great for privacy but not so much for providing an extra layer of security on top of HA itself.

It is also much easier for those without easy access to extra static IP addresses. Given the target audience I think it's probably the right approach.
UPS used to do that. I hated it. If I'm not at home I have to wait another day to get my package, or drive across town to get it from the depot.

Just put it on the porch. Not everyone lives in an area with a package theft problem, let those folks work out their own solution but don't punish the rest of us.
That's Cervantes? I thought it was by Leigh and Darion. It's possible that they adapted a real (translated) Cervantes quote for a song in Man of La Mancha, but a few Googles don't yield any trustworthy sources that attribute the quote to Cervantes himself.

In any event, Brian Stokes Mitchell did a phenomenal rendition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbgTUwUP-ew

Wait, this is the Broadway World forum, right?

Edit: Yup. Confirmed with someone with a doctorate in Spanish Lit and a deep love of Cervantes. That quote was invented for the musical. Oh well.
Also, for those that think they have structural back issues based on MRI's, iirc some crazy number of people without pain also have weird MRIs - MRIs suggest the possibility of something structural but in no way guarantee that that's a strong explanation.

The Way Out by Alan Gordon talks about this in more depth - one anecdote he mentions was a football player with REALLY bad back pain, who you'd expect to have all kinds of injuries, was pretty much completely fine after pain reprocessing therapy. This isn't an isolated case - I think the majority of people he tested PRT on in the Boulder Back Pain Study ended up getting significantly better via PRT implying most people didn't actually have structural issues

(note, exercise does still help because it's theorized that the way the body creates pain is by lowering blood flow/oxygen - exercise counters this. When my RSI was fairly bad, I remember that working out or sprinting and getting blood flowing would make me feel more or less ok)
~0% interest was a mistake.
Chrome Manifest V3 is looming over us. Where do we stand?
Ironically, the quality of Community Notes is directly correlated with the toxicity and division on the rest of Twitter. That's because the notes algorithm explicitly maximizes the distance between the users reviewing each note, i.e. a political note should be reviewed by both blue and red users. So the Community Notes system becomes more robust the more users disagree with each other.

Personally, I actually think Twitter should allow users to opt into making these tribal associations even more explicit. One simple feature could accomplish that: let users choose the color of their checkmark (red, blue or gray). When asking them to choose a color, show a list of the accounts they follow that have chosen each color.

> We also now know of natural viruses which are very close to SARS-CoV-2 and only missing the FCS, but at the same time there has been zero evidence that WIV was ever working with SARS-CoV-2-like viruses

WIV collected the viruses from 800mi away which are the known closest relative — but missing the Furin cleavage site.

> only DoE and the FBI think that the lab leak was more likely […] I don't know what evidence DoE or FBI could have that CIA/NSA doesn't that leads them to the conclusion that it was a lab leak

DoE specializes in things like bioterrorism, via one of their analysis labs. FBI similarly. Neither CIA nor NSA do, who specialize in HUMINT and SIGINT respectively.

> natural spillover theory is the leading theory 5-to-3

And as I mentioned before, the only one to asses with moderate rather than low confidence is in that group of 3. When assessing such matters, we need to consider not just the number of analyses, but their relative confidence in their conclusions.

> Assuming and stating as a fact that he changed his mind due to financial pressure, without any evidence, is exactly conspiratorial thinking.

There was more than one — and they changed their opinion after a phone call, not based on later evidence. Feel free to present the evidence you believe changed his mind.

> Assuming and stating as a fact that he changed his mind due to financial pressure, without any evidence, is exactly conspiratorial thinking.

Except that we do have evidence in the timing of him being contacted by an implicated official and later receiving grants from a related organization. Dismissing evidence of collusion as “conspiratorial” because you don’t like the conclusions is bad faith.

Most people don't get to vote directly for their government. They vote for a local representative, or MP.

In the EU, most countries don't even have a government party, because most governments are coalitions, which may not have even existed before the elections.

So you don't even get to vote for the party of government, nor its leader. It's all very indirect.

jq does often feels like a code golf language. I would say it does have some of those Perl one liner vibes, that is to say that it is often a write-only language.

Also the ‘nearly’ part is because I don’t remember if it has infinite loops or if it is more like Starlark and thus decidable. I do have vague recollections of causing infinite cycles in JQ, it quite as well could be entirely Turing complete.

So far I have not found a single task that JQ was incapable of. And I have abused it pretty bad on my spare time =], for intellectual challenge.

> It took years before most companies who now use cloud providers to trust and be willing to bet their operations on them. That gave the cloud providers time to make their systems more robust, and to learn how to resolve issues quickly.

...to the extent that they are building dependencies on hosted AI services, doing it with traditional cloud providers hosted solutions, not first party hosting by AI development firms that aren't general enterprise cloud providers (e.g., for OpenAI models, using Azure OpenAI rather than OpenAI directly, for a bunch of others, AWS Bedrock.)

> Well, technical competence and expertise does not necessarily translate to managerial competence and expertise.

This can't be overstated. The best engineer could be the worst manager.

That said, managers should have at least some level of technical knowledge on what they're managing. I'm a security engineer that once worked under a CISO who had very little technical knowledge and it showed. Having to explain things to him multiple times got frustrating. We're talking on the level of "Hey, our nmap scans are showing we have port 443 open on our web app. We should have all ports closed." and then trying to explain why that would make our web app completely inaccessible.
I thought at first from the headline that the article was trying to imply there was something wrong with this, e.g. that Goldman Sachs was getting money that should otherwise be going to other creditors in bankruptcy.

But from reading the actual article, that doesn't seem to be it at all. The article just seems to be describing what a terrible investment decision this was for SoftBank -- that this letter of credit isn't protected from bankruptcy.

Because SoftBank co-signed a letter of credit, guaranteeing $1.75B of loans in case WeWork couldn't pay -- because lenders considered WeWork too risky. Now WeWork can't pay, but SoftBank still has to.

Glad I'm not SoftBank.
I don't live in Spain but I live in a reasonably dense city.

* More things to do.

* More people to meet.

* More restaurants, which leads to the best restaurants being better.

* More mom and pop businesses. I didn't know independent shoe stores were a thing until I moved here.

* Live entertainment everywhere, both to enjoy and to participate in.

* Walking to get coffee is very nice. Walking to get groceries is super nice.

* Huge freedom of movement on a bike. OK, rural rail trails are cool, but they're lines. In a good city, I have trails but also the entire street grid.

* Access to trains and buses which will take me to places I can drink without worrying about DUI.

* Watching the innocent shenanigans that go on around makes life more interesting.

The peace of mind of knowing that my living arrangements are reasonably sustainable, both environmentally and economically, is also nice.

FWIW, I could afford to life in suburbia or the country, but I like the city better. I do love taking weekend backpacking trips in the mountains, so I'm not some nature-phobe.

The Pattern Project – Low Dose 5-MeO-DMT Research Collective
I presume the person you’re replying to is figuring that this technology won’t always have the same bulk, weight, resolution, and battery life constraints, and that’s why they’re excited about it.

From the demos shown it doesn’t look badly compromised for being a first generation product.
i am not talking about git, i am talking about github. lets say i need to merge a PR in GH because use gha pipelines or what have you to deploy a prod fix. this would become severely blocked.

where as if openai goes down i can no longer use ai to generate a lame cover letter or whatever i was avoiding actually doing anyway, thats all
I won't say I disagree because only time can tell, but what you wrote sounds a lot like what people said before open source software took off. All these companies spend so much money on software development and they hire the best people available, how can a bunch of unorganized volunteers ever compete? We saw how they could and I hope we will see the same in AI.

I don’t really think it’s DRM. I think it’s because a lot of garage door buttons have a few functionalities, like controlling the lights as well as the door, but it works over two wires. So it probably necessitates some more complicated logic.
> Interventions: Participants were randomized to 1 of 3 groups: 8-hour TRE (eating 12 to 8 pm only, without calorie counting), CR (25% energy restriction daily), or control.

Longer fasting periods, including 16/8 TRE and alternate-day fasting, have been shown to cause a disproportionate amount of lean body mass loss: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullar...

>In this RCT, a prescription of TRE did not result in weight loss when compared with a control prescription of 3 meals per day. Time-restricted eating did not change any relevant metabolic markers. Finally, there was a decrease in ALM in the TRE group compared with CMT. Together, the results of this study (1) do not support the efficacy of TRE for weight loss, (2) highlight the importance of control interventions, and (3) offer caution about the potential effects of TRE on ALM. Future studies should be aimed at understanding the effects of early vs late TRE and protein intake or timing as a means to offset the loss in ALM.

ALM = Appendicular (i.e., limb) Lean Mass.

One of the authors of this study, Ethan Weiss, is a cardiologist and was a big proponent of TRE, but after the results of his own study came in showing drastic loss of LBM in TRE group (to the point that most of the weight lost was LBM) and no added benefit, he completely stopped doing TRE, stopped recommending it, and went to Twitter and the news media to publicize the harm, eg: https://www.insider.com/new-research-finds-intermittent-fast...

X isn't showing his Twitter thread, but there's a copy of it here:
https://old.reddit.com/r/ScientificNutrition/comments/j1fav8...

>In the in-person cohort, the average weight loss in the TRE group was 1.70 kg. Of this, 1.10 kg (~ 65% wt lost) was lean mass; only 0.51 kg of weight lost was fat mass. Loss of lean mass during weight loss is normal but typically accounts for 20% to 30% of total weight loss

>So in summary: 1) no matter how you slice it, prescription of TRE is not a very effective weight loss strategy; 2) There was no advantage to TRE when compared to a proper control group; 3) What weight was lost looked to come more from muscle mass than fat mass
I'm not really expecting to turn any Musk-fanatics around if I'm being honest, even though a serious argument or two from a couple of them could be fun. I'm more interested in providing context to those who read the comments and haven't thought about this matter in a context other than that of the US.
No, other debtors could also be the injured party.
I'm guessing you must not be from the US, as MSNBC/Fox News both are on TV at all times in various public and private spaces. It depends on the content of course (political), but MSNBC is a left leaning version of Fox News - they are the same, just on the opposite sides of the spectrum. The fact that Wikipedia doesn't rank MSNBC the same as Fox News sends up some flags for me, but I could really care less at this point in my life. Both networks have that cancerous "create outrage for views" thing going on that has been nothing but detrimental to American society. Unfortunately it's just about impossible to get away from, as Americans nowadays seem to be addicted to the constant need for drama and outrage in their lives.

I'm not sure about Mother Jones, but the other two I would always take with a grain of salt.
