I don’t know if you get it. Just because someone isn’t stereotypically attractive doesn’t mean they aren’t hot in some other way.

I’m close to conventionally attractive but my type is shorter, overweight bearded guys (balding optional). There is no virtue signaling here, or “being attracted to what’s on the inside”. It’s still attraction, it just falls out of the standards set by men’s health magazine or w/e.

That’s what “woke” people are talking about when they say there’s not an objective 1-10 scale for attractiveness. We all have different types.
Huh. My experience was very different.

I didn't gain the ability to use the mouse to interact with Emacs till 2010 because before then graphical Emacs on Linux had bit-mapped text that I hated to look at (the main issue's being that it clashed horribly with the text in all the other apps I was using, including my browser). When text rendering in graphical Emacs improved and I started being able to use the mouse in Emacs, I realized I had made a big mistake in not taking the trouble to acquire the ability to use the mouse in Emacs earlier: the MacOS port (called "Carbon Emacs" IIRC) had had satisfactory text rendering (and mouse support) for many years and even if I wanted to avoid switching to a Mac, I could have switched to graphical Emacs years earlier if I was willing to compile Emacs from source (and setting a flag to choose the GTK front end, not to be confused with the more recent PGTK front end).

The point is that I regret letting myself be influenced by the comments on this site to the effect that the pointing device is unimportant.

(Also, in a survey of Emacs users a few years ago, 80% report using graphical Emacs rather than using Emacs via a terminal interface.)
Hmmm. The full English Wikipedia Zim went from 87GB 1.5 years ago to 103GB now. While 512GB microSD cards are fairly reasonable nowadays, iPhone users will struggle.
You are very lucky to be able to do that even with Linux.
They can do all this (rate limits, etc.) for unregister accounts already, and most users would never notice that (since a human only does a few searches per time unit), but they decided to require a login anyway.
Another factor: anonymous faceted regex search across a huge volume of code allows bad actors to find hardcoded credentials and gain access to additional systems, without a good audit trail.

But yes, there are multiple good explanations for why they would lock down the API.

Unfortunately, Brother seems to be slowly converging on standard shitty printer business behavior. Last year they pushed a firmware update that disabled third party toner cartridges (relatively easy to circumvent for now, but still).

For now, they are probably still the least bad printer option (talk about a low bar), but I'm my opinion they really don't deserve the effusive praise they receive.

I see lots of reasons being proposed, but my guess is that they want or need to avoid content being scraped by AI related companies and researchers.
This may involve running two different sets of (for example, ElasticSearch) clusters, which doesn’t justify itself from a business perspective, especially given that non-logged in users can still clone code and use local tooling for search.

You can't let him "go into a cave" and then come out with something lacking after a bunch of time has passed.

Given what you know about him, it's your job to hold him accountable, keep an eye on him, and make sure that _all_ aspects of the project are being accounted for. It's not going necessarily going to be fun or comfortable for anyone, but you should err on the side of micromanagement until he is performing at a high level.

You probably also need to be very clear about the totality of what is expected - yes, a cool design is great, but it must have tests, it must be communicated to others (be that by documentation, a presentation, training, etc)... and no amount of "design" or "don't have time" excuses will substitute for these aspects.
> I don't believe it's any kind of conspiracy to make life hard for open source apps.

This is an odd framing of something that generates revenue & provides valuable analytical data - obviously Google aren't doing this just to make life harder for open source apps, that's just a knock-on effect of lock-in in general.

> There are legitimate technical reasons to use a single service for push messaging.

This is only true if you're referring to local daemons as "services" (e.g. Play Services), not remotely hosted services as is the case here (e.g. FCM). There's zero reason Play couldn't support multiple providers as UnifiedPush, etc. do. Just as there's no technical reason not to properly support Web Push.
This (behavioural data) is precisely Microsoft's playbook - no charitable interpretations ought apply. As far as I am concerned, no Open Source project has any justification for still being on the platform as of the day of the MS buyout. It's not as though there aren't good alternatives just a git clone away.
Way back when Jet Skis had 2-stroke engines, you could buy an aftermarket exhaust pipe with water injection in a couple key spots. This allowed the pipe to be dynamically tuned to different RPMs by changing the speed of sound within the pipe.

The stock pipe was tuned to a specific RPM, allowing the reflected exhaust pulse to return to the cylinder just as the port was closing and “slam the door” on the fresh air/fuel charge.

With variable water injection, you could have more than one optimal RPM.

(All this is from memory as I read the ads in Splash magazine.)

Why can’t you train on the git repository itself? Clones are not behind a login.
And it's what they get in return for hosting and providing indexing and a git server.

I'm not saying it's a deal that makes sense for everyone. But it's certainly a barter trade and is well within their prerogative to offer.

I hate to break it to you but most people with math degrees aren't doing math jobs today. The demand for such skills is low. While such an AI may displace some of the few jobs that do involve heavy math, it's likely your child will not be in that category.

HackerNews: Can no longer view the frontpage without seeing a complaint about a free and ad-free service not being provided to users who are not logged in.
This tracks.

15 years ago, I bought the cheapest laser I could find, which was a Brother. Put two cartridges in it over the years, and last year it died. Some devices couldn't print to it due to driver issues, but it was easy enough to send to another device to print. Otherwise literally no complaints.

I did some comparison shopping, and while Brother was no longer the cheapest, it was still pretty cheap. I'm not sure most of my family even remembers it's a different one, other than it printing more easily from every device.

I replaced one grey box with another, but I mostly get to ignore it, and that's wonderful.
Retrieval-augmented generation could be the specific AI use case they’re guarding against if they’re restricting search but not cloning.
I’d like to see these many occurrences.

I think the solution to hard coded credentials isn’t making search harder (security through obscurity == bad) but the other things GitHub is doing to detect and mitigate hard coded credentials.

Search is still possible using google and other methods, so any theoretical gains from forcing login are dangerous to count on as vulnerable projects are still vulnerable.

If anything, I think the solution to projects with hard coded credentials are to make the credentials easier to find and exploit so they fixed more quickly after being created. The most dangerous are ones they are hard to find so someone uses them for long periods of time without detection.
You're kind of making my point, one needs to take their code elsewhere to be able to browse it.

In other words, GitHub is no longer suitable to host open source repositories because of all the closed "extras" it adds on top.
Bizarre, I don’t see how this could be chance.

I’m using mostly the ChatGpt client with GPT-4 and no special instructions.

> if the kernel returns a large address

That's why I said you need to control your allocator.

It's so much easier than rewriting everything that deals with pointers.

And of course everything has virtual memory. But even without it, you're not really worse off when you upgrade the CPU if masking was already enforced.

> This was already used on 32b x86: PAE decorrelated the physical address space from the virtual (giving the OS 36 bits physical address — with a theoretical upper bound of 64 — even as individual processes were still restricted to 32); and on windows the /LARGEADDRESSAWARE link switch allowed manipulating the virtual address space on a per-process granularity.

I wouldn't characterize this as very similar. Physical and virtual address space already had to be decorrelated to go above about 1GB, and PAE doesn't meaningfully extend how much memory a 32 bit processes can have. And LAA is based on software assumptions that were never particularly tied to hardware, and it can be relevant with or without PAE.

As someone who contributes a decent amount of OSS code on GitHub, I want my code scraped by AI related companies. If GitHub starts making opinionated decisions about how to “protect” my code, then I won’t like that.
Hey appreciate you asking!

I guess I'd be very happy if there was someone who was much more ambitious than me, who saw an opportunity to make a lot of money by doing sales on the product. It'd be great to work together with that person in a support-type role. And honestly, I wouldn't mind if they wanted to try it alone.

What would hurt though would be to do a lot of work to get it into a state where it was "the best" in some way, and a big player started selling a cheaper fork.
I just assume this to be the case for all future decisions like this. Surely the Reddit API changes were at least partly from this? Reddit is one of the richest sources of (pretty) authentic human interaction that humanity has ever made. Every AI company and startup was going to mercilessly mine this forever. I'm sure Reddit would much rather sell (our) interactions instead.
It's bloody expensive and impossible for casual drivers to know how much they're going to be stung until their etag auto-tops up. I like how fast it is compared to Parramatta road, but you have to be on some serious money to afford it daily now that the M4 is also distance tolled.

Post Traumatic Profitability Disorder
The latest DOOM games avoid this problem, but with ammo. There's no reason to save ammo for later because you have a very limited pool and can constantly get more with the chainsaw. It prevents hoarding for later.

So that's what I'd suggest for consumables. Give a limited number so the player can't hoard and aren't too powerful, but make getting more of them easy and frequent.

How does providing more features to some people make the core service unusable for "open source"?
Except, I doubt anybody would argue that a lower signal to noise ratio has improved the site. (Plus, has the actual metric even improved and how is it measured?) And, did anybody ever stop to ask whether S:N should even be the champion metric in the first place, at a product level? With a philosophy of “Google is our homepage”, I honestly don’t understand why S:N even matters since search pretty effectively cuts out noise. I guess it makes a mod’s life easier though. The site is less useful today than it’s ever been. The road to hell…
Controversial opinion: when a service provider makes antagonistic changes to its service, it's actually a good thing, as it pushes people to find different solutions and not depend too heavily on one service provider
Can automated theorem provers solve mathematical olympiad problems in a reasonable time given enough compute?

LLMs are quite good at generating semantically correct language. I remember reading a paper about extending the planning capabilities of GPT-4 by using a Planning Domain Definition Language [0]. By that same logic could an LLM not translate the olympiad problem into a form suitable for a theorem prover?

I could agree with those, but those are a rather limited part of life. They may help us, "the pretty ones" to feel good, but it takes more for someone to be considered successful generally.

> you use it to climb the professional ladder.

I think this is way overrated and lots of pretty girls end up disappointed or disappointing people, thus the meme of the dumb blonde.

Can we please stop treating GitHub like it's an open platform? It's not. It's a closed, walled garden like every other one. The fact that they host a bunch of open source projects you use doesn't make them better; if anything, it makes them worse, because they've helped these projects wall off a part of their contribution infrastructure behind the lock and key of a corporate account.
Very broadly, I find the quality/value of a given thing is inversely proportional to how many people are involved.

> I think users should be able to have a reasonable expectation

Sure, of course they should. But nothing in this life is perfect. Google engineers will roll out a configuration change that has unintended consequences that results in data loss. Or your account gets falsely flagged for abuse and you get locked out. Or your computer gets infected with ransomware that accesses your cloud sync, creating duplicate encrypted files, deleting the originals, and emptying the trash -- so much for your version history.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket, create your own backup. It's "the user's job to do that rather than Google's" because at the end of the day, other people mess up, and it's your personal responsibility to safeguard against that if you want to protect against losing your data. It's always been this way and always will be.
AI Unleashes Unfair SEO Game
Fat is not an inalienable trait though. It’s not something you are, it’s something you become. I would rather be an Arab than fat is a comical observation.

In terms of being ugly… it’s a way more flexible quality than people care to admit. Being fit, successful, undergoing plastic surgery, using makeup, dressing fashionably, etc - so many ways to improve your perceived attractiveness.
It's also highly manual (at least for local backups). One can only set up backups for six months at a time, plus downloading the files involves waiting for an email notification and using download links in that email.

If anyone has figured out a way to automate all this, I'd _love_ to hear about it.
> Areas like the West Midlands and Yorkshire had the highest levels of support

Areas with higher unemployment and lower economic development and opportunities often tend to vote on the extremes of the spectrum out of desperation. It's easy to think the EU or foreigners too your jobs away and that leaving the EU will somehow make it better.

the only use of having it on the blockchain is rewards without using your own money (so it's economics depends on the eventual value of the coin), for that it has to be bound to the minting process, but a purely algorithmic system for determining who gets how much based on their proofs seems elusive (think of the infinite possible proofs 1+2=3, 1+3=4...), we are going for having a central authority doing the minting for proofs (as voting based on money would hardly reflect mathematical experties)
There is no rational basis for trusting a first-party status page.
I'm currently running a Shadowrun game where equipment and especially cyberware is a neverending money sink. High-end cyberware and vehicles can easily cost hundreds of thousands of nuyen. Not to mention that you've got monthly cost of living depending on your lifestyle.

Of course you could save a lot of money by choosing a poor or squatter lifestyle, but I tend to make that matter. Eventually they all settled on a medium lifestyle for $5000/month.

Of course this does mean tons of bookkeeping. I've also played and loved games that abstract wealth away. And I certainly think some games should abstract it away a bit more. But for Shadowrun, this makes sense. They're criminals for hire, so they're in it for the money. (Although they're currently doing the most dangerous run ever for free, so I'll reward them with extra karma.)

I had the most amazing printer when I was in college. It was a NeXT laser printer that I got for a steal when NeXT dropped out of the hardware market; the university library had one as a sales model, and I was the NeXT sales rep, so they let me have it for next to half price.

It was amazing because, when you printed something, it would print. 8 pages a minute, guaranteed. When it was out of paper or toner a lovely woman's voice with a British accent would tell you to add paper or change the toner cartridge, and then it would continue to print.

In hindsight, it would have been more than worth it to keep my NeXTstation working just to act as a print server for the printer.

I now have a Brother laser printer. It prints when it feels like printing. Sometimes it doesn't bother to wake from sleep, and there's no way to force it out of sleep, so you have to unplug it and plug it in again and wait for it to boot. Depending on the complexity of the page it can take anywhere from ten seconds to 10+ minutes per page. When it's out of paper or toner, there is no audible signal. You have to walk over and look at the little LCD display.

To be fair, it's loads better than the HP inkjet printer we used to have. We held a family activity where we beat that one to death in the front yard with a sledgehammer.
