My home was redone at some point in the late 1990s and I also lucked out in this regard with Cat 5 used for telephony, but easily converted to proper Ethernet.

I ended up purchasing a “lifetime” spool of Cat 6 to fill in some blanks, but it’s the optimal networking setup for me.

> In any European city you'll find...

This is so ridiculously optimistic and misinformed. In Poland’s cities, for example, the cafes mainly belong to chains like Costa Coffee and Green Coffee Nero, which act identically to Starbucks in terms of prices, quality, and range of drinks. There aren’t many independent cafes left, let alone ones with lower prices than a Starbucks. Similarly, in Helsinki the choice largely comes down to chains like Espresso House and Robert’s Coffee that are no different than Starbucks.

Linux: How to Execute an Object File (Part 4 – AArch64 Edition)
One way to not include any unaudited open source code is not to include any open source code!

I think when people point it out—that open source code is great, but comes with no strings attached and no guarantees, so you need to audit it to use it safely—they are often trying to say something about the ecosystem. That dependency growth is out of control. That it isn’t really as simple as git pulling the code in.
From comments I read elsewhere, there are apparently apartments in places like New York that have non-standard depth closets that don't fit regular hangers that these could be useful for, and the van-life crowd has also been mentioned. In both instances, a regular rod mounted on either side would work fine.
Where I live (the Netherlands) gigabit is available pretty much country-wide. Not everyone may subscribe to a gigabit plan but it's available to them if they wanted it.

ISPs are now just starting to roll out multi-gig, a few are already offering 2.5 or 4gbit plans. Even the ones that do not offer multi-gbit plans yet are already installing 10gbit capable CPEs. I suspect 10gbit service will become available nationwide within a few years.

Edit: also, I'm now apparently the same ilk as racists, since I choose not to deal with idiots that worry about the color of text boxes. That's cool.
> and "documentation fees".

My favorite part of this one on my recent used auto purchase is how clear it is the dealer didn't even do their job here. The vehicle had been traded in to the dealer. The title was made out to "The Estate of <Former Owner>", and person who signed the car over to them very clearly wasn't the name on the title (which you might expect, as estate indicates a death) and had not even so much as a common last name. The dealer sure seemed to know this was an issue at some point because someone had written "POA" next to the signature... but there was no power of attorney documentation that came with the title and other paperwork, and when I contacted the dealer about it they clearly had none of this paperwork in spite of the trade-in having been completed 6 weeks earlier. In fact, it took 4 emails just to get the paperwork guy to understand the actual problem (he thought I was complaining they hadn't signed the title over to me), and once we reached that point, it took them a few days to provide a POA document for an entirely different person than the person who signed the title over to them -- they literally did not understand the assignment.

It's almost two months from when I purchased the vehicle, and still trying to get documentation puzzle pieces put together, and it's just in the last week I got them to send me the temp tag for the car (they forgot to put it on before I had the vehicle delivered, and didn't notice when I'd mentioned the problem earlier).

This isn't some random guy with a half-developed lot where inventory is mostly consignment either -- this is a Toyota dealership (Suburban Toyota of Troy) that's part of a franchise of dozens of dealerships across several states (Suburban Collection / Lithia Motors). It's almost funny now that I thought that indicated an extra level of professionalism when this situation has turned out to have a lot in common with title jumping.

And when I told dealership I expected them to refund the doc fee (among other remedies), the response I got was a reality denying "we have provided everything you need to register the vehicle in a timely manner," which isn't true now let alone two weeks ago when they said it.

In theory I'd be willing to pay some documentation fee for the privilege of knowing that everything is clear and when I walk into state offices to register my car, it'll happen. But at this point, it's clear that's a theory and incentives are against dealerships actually caring and would remain that way without escrow.

I suppose there's always state regulators and small claims court.
Extant LLMs are trained on whatever data the trainers can get their hands on. There's no magical "check for truth" step, either at the input or at the output.

I live in the UK.

It rains here.

however with a 5kw array, and a 13kwh battery, we are self sufficient for at least 6 months of the year (as in 0kw from grid) and at worst 40% in the midst of winter. Today I have generated 10kwhr and its only 14:00.

Germany should have no real issues with solar production. I mean its not great, but its not anywhere near as bad as you imply.
>At least that’s the theory – and why the new wave of night trains are being touted as one way to replace short or even medium-haul flights across Europe and the US.

I am sure in the US it is and will always be talk. Train service in the US is terrible compared to what is in the EU. It will never happen.

Maybe this will work in Boston where the subways run a 3 MPH (~5kph) due to ignored repairs over the past 30/40 years.
Is there not U.S. states where both the buyer and seller pay commission fees? A quick search provided this:

The seller’s agent collects a listing fee for marketing and selling the home.
The buyer’s agent collects the buyer’s agent fee for bringing a qualified buyer to purchase the home.

In my understanding there is costs borne by both the buyer and seller for the services of a real estate agent.
I even feel the opposite would be terrible - imagine taking payment for something that started as a hobby project.

Now the "pressure from users" is an actual contractual obligation! I can't walk away. What a nightmare.
Yeah, even with the 4:1 lumen:watt advantage for LED bulbs, that's still a nearly 6x brightness advantage for halogen.

Is the limiting factor the technology to make a 4500W LED bulb in the same form-factor/focus as the 18kW halogen, or does it just become prohibitively expensive to do so?
One could argue that usability requirements are the sort of constraints that could stand in for "rules of physics" in the software world.
I went to college in the late 1990s and I distinctly remember my university had banned halogen lamps.

The reasoning was that:

- college students are busy/forgetful so will leave the light on

- there are times of day where no one would be in a dorm room

- BUT that dorm room is a bigger dorm with potentially lots of other students

- an unattended halogen lamp could set fire to an object on a desk etc

this post feels like a much bigger version of the above

To yammer about misinformation on social media in this conflict is even dumber than during COVID.

How about he takes a look at the shortsighted unjournalistic crap spread by the media controlled by the member states? No ifs and buts, just parroting the words of a known terrorist organization, the enemy of the EU, as long as it fits the narrative. That’s what passes for news in the EU.

He would be better off trying to make sure the real news isn’t actually fake news, so people don’t have to turn to social media for their news.

> A chair doesn't really exist, it's just a collection of atoms

If a particular arrangement of the atoms doesn't make a chair a chair, only its use determines identity, then are you also a chair if someone decides to use you that way?

If to be a chair is to be "just a collection of atoms arranged in a way that [we] can sit on it", then what is a human being?

Are you also not nothing but an collection of atoms? What makes you different from the aggregate of atoms you call a chair?

How can both you and I share humanity? Is this a matter of convention? Why this convention? And if usefulness is again the criterion, toward what end?

If I can burn a chair in my furnace, why not you? You're both just collections of atoms, aren't you?

Is your mind just a collection of atoms? If so, how can it entertain these notions, like models or patterns or usefulness or meaningfulness, that are not just collections of atoms?

What are atoms? Are they also collections of atoms?

How did you, a collection of atoms, come to know that atoms exist, that everything is just collection of atoms? And how is it that you know everything is just a collection of atoms, but the existence of anything else is a matter of "models" or convention? And why are atoms privileged in this way?

The MLSes in the US are all under the Realtor group. The selling agent has to agree to pay the buyer agent's fee in order to list. This is one of the main points of the trial. Sellers cannot list a house in the most popular (only?) listing system without committing to the buyer's-agent fee.
> I don't know if adding a new language would/will help emacs or not but it's _plausible_ something like that would work.

I don't think it is plausible. Emacs extensibility and power stems from the fact you can see and change almost everything. You can add advice, i.e. modify, any function there is. And you can inspect any object that exists in the heap. If you add another language into the mix, these two languages either have to share an object/data structure model or they have to bridge them somehow.
In vim you have plugins that add new commands, or hook into some callbacks. But in emacs you can extend every third-party functionality with another third-party library. Fragmenting the ecosystem into two language camps would probably diminish this advantage.

Not in the context of London, but I live near an amusement park and they launch fireworks every weekend while the park is in season. I don't smell or notice any difference in air quality except for after the 4th of July when they launch a lot more of them.

That's my point - I'm saying a real estate lawyer should be the ones handling these things, not agents. But by some kind of weird historical convention, agents are typically the ones that draft up the contracts, and they usually rely on a template.
What? They're already here. I don't see too many around yet but they're definitely on sale.

As a maintainer you cannot control how people behave. There’s no point in lamenting that people act entitled.

Instead, it is more productive to develop strategies to ignore the noise from entitled voices. You do not need to respond to them. You do not need to convince them. You do not have to keep them happy.
It's not. It's expensive, noisy, takes a long time (6h door to door) and is uncomfortable as fuck.

I recently had to go to Edinburgh. It was £235 standard class to get a train that takes several hours. Or £80 to get a plane that takes 2h door to door (1h in the air).

If I want to go anywhere in Europe it's quicker, easier and almost always cheaper to fly. Even on a bad Lufthansa flight where everything goes wrong :)

Edit: just checked I can go from my LHR to BER on Monday and back same day for £127. I can't get to the English Channel and across it at any time for twice that.

In California, if you make improvements to your home you are forced into a reassessment and higher taxes. Many homes in California are not maintained and updated for this very reason, since the taxes are set from when the home was purchased.

I should've done that instead of try and replace the coax with network cables; they all run through cable guides (yellow tubes), but they're probably bent, nicked and collapsed after installation so you can't just replace the cables through it.

From a legal standpoint blackmail requires the "receipt of money or valuable thing". Because the thing being received is an even exchange of goods already agreed to by both parties, and the threat on not receiving is not an illegal action in itself, it is not likely or plausibly blackmail.

With LLM I could rephrase my argument, in away that you would actually listen. Right now you just filter it out, because it does not fit your narrative and social circle. It gives me a chance to fit it, and speak your "English dialect" without being offensive. In-group bias is a huge wall, LLM eliminates that.

Trust me, LLM is great for filtering bullshit. Sentiment analysis, cross checking references, short summaries, ad filtering... You can filter BS on industrial scale with LLM!

If Google does actually force through changes that meaningfully degrade adblocking effectiveness in Chrome, that could ironically be just the thing to motivate a critical mass of users to migrate to Firefox/some other alternative.

Firefox won when it was significantly better than IE in ways that lots of people actually cared about (it had tabs). Then Chrome won when it was significantly than Firefox in ways lots of people cared about (it was fast and if a tab crashed the whole browser didn’t crash with it).

For a long time, no browser has been significantly better than Chrome in ways lots of people care about. I don’t know if Manifest v3 is as bad as everyone says, but if it is, that might open up a big enough point of difference.

This is something I'd love to see, the problem is that any "pay for features" model runs into serious legal issues:

- for American developers, many of them have provisions in their employment contracts that allow them to do unpaid open source work, but ban any kind of commercial (i.e. in exchange for money) activity. The fact that this reach into off-time by employers is possible is nuts anyway, but doesn't make the problem go away.

- as soon as any kind of money is involved, a lot of jurisdictions have provisions regarding warranties and liabilities - and these can be pretty enormous, see the log4j fallout. Some of these can be put aside by contracts, but nevertheless it's a legal minefield.

- some jurisdictions don't allow you to just take money in exchange for a project, it exposes developers to tax and social security liabilities. Even labeling such stuff as pure "donations" isn't safe if your tax auditor is particularly focused on nailing you.

- what to do if someone from a sanctioned country donates you money? What to do if you're European and get money from someone in Cuba (which is not sanctioned by the EU), but are employed by / work for American companies or intend to travel to the US?

- what to do if some arms manufacturer donates you / funds money for a project that could be used in weapons? Virtually all countries have some sort of equivalent to ITAR regulations that you really don't want to run afoul of.
But don't you know lack of nuance is how we get people to engage with posts in the 21st century,? It's a feature, not a bug. And it's honestly fucking tiring

Loved it, I thought that was quite hilarious! I can see how people get a little upset about it though, but in my mind this kind of content is just unavoidable.

I myself have been playing a lot with this kind of tech lately by creating realistic clones (voice + videos) of YouTubers and tiktokers. I think it has potential to go viral quite easily. I never published any of those though, because of ethical concerns. Just a question of time before other creators do this at scale though.

I almost did that with cloning real TV newscasters from bbc / fox / cnn, etc... but decided not to. But I did create a 100% "fake" journalist for an app that lets you create breaking news on the fly [1]. The result is still a little rough, obviously, but I can already tell how in just a few months it'll be impossible to distinguish a clone from a real person.
