So, I'd say it's a little more complicated than this even.

There are orbitals around black holes where particles could maintain stable orbits for long periods of time. Now when you get a complex environment around said black hole with lots matter attempting to infall but not having the correct momentum you will get a lot of interaction between particles of different velocities, hence why we actually see black holes at all. you get matter crashing into each other releasing gamma rays and such. From these interactions alone you can get gravitational particle acceleration.

It just gets more complicated from here as you add magnetic field interactions.
> majority of charging stations are occupied by cars that are plugged in, but no longer charging

Isn't that the point? Aren't they supposed to be parking spots reserved for electric cars so they can charge while you're off doing other stuff?

Seems silly that the solution is to make it time-limited rather than just adding more plugs. The people who are gonna be a while will be fine with a standard 120v line.
Tell that to the whackos who believe that ChatGPT is self-aware just because it has been fed lots of training data that describe it as an AI and its purpose in detail.
This'd make a nice lyric. If only "Harvard" rhymed with "discovered".

Do you consider Apple’s entry an indicator that the technology has legs to go more mainstream?
Unlike PulseAudio, dbus, and other userland components, it is perfectly possible to have a Linux system which works with most software without systemd. runit and OpenRC are two of the most popular init alternatives, which are just inits, and nothing else, unlike systemd. You might argue you have to use logind and udev, but that has been spun off into elogind and eudev. There is also seatd as an alternative to elogind, which is quite big itself.
Same in Canada, as I understand it.
Now we just need to expand this to include the right to fix software bugs - thereby banning restrictive code signing practices and locked bootloaders.
I've seen others who felt similarly about the enjoyability of the space part vs the dog part. But for some reason I felt the opposite, the space part was alright but I didn't really connect with any of the characters or plot there much. But I loved the part on the dog planet, for me that world felt like he started with a question of "What might it look like if a pack animal achieved human-like level of intelligence?" and explored from there, and what he came up with made a lot of sense to me and was really interesting to think about.
All of this is pretty obvious to anyone that takes some time to actually observe what is going on. But we are currently under a very strong political ideology that has replaced what was previously called a religion.
You can't say those things and nobody will agree publicly (even if they think alike) until the whole thing falls appart...

To be honest it won't take much longer, because this system by itself creates poisonous inter sex competition that ensure a very low level of reproduction. The numbers are already in. So, either it gets replaced by alternative ways of organizing society (it's already somewhat happening in some places, the problem is the alternatives are a lot less nice) or some spark ignites a revolt that brings back some balance.

But from where I stand it's probably over already. Nobody seems to question having both sex/parents working (and often competing for the same job!) and women definitely do not want to take the breadwinner role after somewhat refusing the homemaker role. But that's very consistent with reality of interacting with women. In my opinion any society that start to listen to the infinite demands of women is doomed to failure.
I don't have much to bet but so far, I'm winning...
To illustrate why, consider a file name with spaces.

filename="my file.txt"
cat $filename # Incorrect: Tries to 'cat' two files: 'my' and 'file.txt'

cat "$filename" # Correct: Treats 'my file.txt' as one file
In Rust it’s easier to leverage external crates/libraries that are more optimised than rolling your own. This can lead to performance increases

A contract may have been formed, but maybe the contract has a clause that exempts pricing errors.

Without reading the contract, we cannot know. But given that the context was constructed by HP, there are likely multiple legal escapes.
why do you say that? Under UK law, this deal should have been honored too, but wasn't.

Are you saying that nobody breaks the law in Australia?
The other thing is Wineskin using CrossOver as its main engine now performs so much better than vanilla wine.
KYWY - Embedded development gaming and learning platform
I'm excited to share a project a few friends and I have been passionately working on: Kywy – a compact, powerful gaming device that's not just for play, but also a platform for learning and embedded development.

What is Kywy?
Kywy is a pocket-sized gaming console that defies the norms. It's not just a device; it's an open-source ecosystem where gaming meets education and development. With Kywy, we're bridging the gap between entertainment and practical learning, especially in the realms of programming and hardware interaction.

Why Kywy?

Portability: Fits in your pocket, game anywhere, anytime.
Powerful Hardware: Despite its size, Kywy is pretty powerful, capable of running complex games and simulations.
Open-Source Nature: This is where Kywy truly shines. It's fully open-source, inviting developers, hobbyists, and students to tinker, modify, and enhance.
Learning Platform: Kywy is an excellent tool for education. It's perfect for teaching coding, game development, and understanding embedded systems.
Community and Collaboration
We're building a community around Kywy. Whether you're a game developer, a student, or just a gaming enthusiast, there's something here for you. We're fostering an environment of collaboration and innovation.

We Need Your Support
We're at a crucial stage and need the community's support to bring Kywy to its full potential. Visit our website [kywy.io] to learn more, join our community, and be part of this exciting journey. We're also looking for feedback, ideas, and collaborations.

Let's Game and Learn Together!
Kywy is more than a gaming device; it's a movement towards making learning fun and accessible. We believe in the power of play and the potential of open-source collaboration.
We are aiming to open up preorders in December 2023!
Some countries (e.g. UK) have laws about this: you can't just make up a high price then advertise a big discount from that price. The higher price has to be "real" (usually defined as they were selling actual units of the thing to customers for that price for so many weeks, within so many weeks of the sale date).
I'm not OP, but:

1. There's an app I use to operate and pay for the laundry machine in the basement of my apartment building.

2. There's an app I use during fire drills--I'm a a teacher--to confirm all my students made it out of the building.

3. There's an app I use to see the real-time location of the private bus which picks me up in the morning.

(None of these apps have equivalents on the web.)

The connecting thread is that I didn't really choose to use these services, someone else chose for me.
Just use it? I am still confused why systemd is supposedly something that needs to be fixed. Like all major distributions "accidentally" switched to it.
It’s not clear if there’s any validity to the claims
Under UK law it's the same. If OP fought in court, they would get that laptop.
It's not news, is it? It's from 2021.
The Turing test only makes sense if you compare it against an actual human, otherwise everyone taking the test could just say it's an AI no matter what and no AI could ever pass.

The key is having people guess the AI is an AI at the same rate people guess a human is an AI.
That’s an absurd and overly strict interpretation of what Turing described. Stipulating cooperation between participants is precisely in the spirit of Turing’s original work.
Snap back to reality, ope there goes gravity
I disagree. Yes #1 was best. I thought #2 was the weakest link, but with the redeeming feature of getting you to #3 and #4. Are they perfect, no, but they do have good moments aplenty and I thought the ending worth the journey.

Edit: thinking back, the ending of #2 was bloody spectacular as well. I think the sheer volume of character/world building must help as preparation for impactful endings.
One more possible explanation:

Maybe the employee sees greater potential at another employer (whether for positive impact on the world, or just better execution of their own vision, or whatever) and wants to pick up where they left off, instead of having to restart.

Everyone seems to assume some explanation involving money or laziness, but it could be for a less selfish (though still illegal/immoral) reason.

While I wouldn’t steal IP, I can appreciate a somewhat similar sentiment: looking forward to patents expiring. There are too many scenarios where a company creates and patents some new invention, only to produce some product that kinda sucks… until the patent expires and someone comes along and does it right and at a lower price.
Huh? You don’t understand what culture is. The study of logic itself, science, philosophy, etc are all part of culture. Culture is a shared heritage without which you would still be cracking nuts open with rocks.
The Turing Test in the past: can it look smart enough to be a human.
The Turing Test soonish: can it look dumb enough to be a human.
For reference, you can buy an HP laptop (14" Chromebook) at Costco for $230. So 399 quid ($500) seems not outside the realms of possibility for a specially discounted 17" machine.
A month ago also Fabiano Caruana said the same exact thing but without making names.

Or ask it a medical question
> HP ignored my questions about how many customers were affected and why it repeatedly gave you false information. It stated merely that all affected customers had been notified. It says: “We are taking steps to ensure we deliver the first-class experience customers can expect from HP at all times, including with regard to communications with specific customers.”

Corporate speak, especially when it is directly contrary to reality, is so frustrating.
It took a long time before we came up with a bunch of mechanisms to hide the power profile of ECC scalar multiplies. I expect the same here.
Thinking about this. Would firing up various VMs via Boxes be similar to Qubes?
Fascinating that the human benchmark is 63%- I wonder what the benchmark would look like were it to have been established, say, 30 years ago, before the prevalence of LLMs; I'd wager it would be very close to 100%. Speaks to the moving goalposts.
you're suggesting a periodic table of all periodic tables that do not contain themselves. sounds doable.
Even if it was too good to be true, I suspect that the sending of a confirmation by the company makes it a valid contract. Law famously doesn't take into account the proportionality of consideration - which is why the famous 'peppercorn rent' exists. [1]

Loser pays legal fees once they lose, until then you're on the hook. And there's always the chance you will lose. HP (or, insert big entity here) has too much money to throw at lawyers, so usually it does not really make sense for a small party to sue a big one. Better to just accept the loss, walk away, and go do something more productive than generate more income for lawyers.
Doesn’t make much sense for Hikaru to cheat. He competes over the board where it’s much harder to cheat, and he makes most of his money through streaming, not through competition results.
it is one thing to ask someone who doesn't want to deal with kids for help taking care of them, but quite another to expect them to tolerate kids and behave in a manner that gives the kids space they need. (like not smoking near kids, etc)

in a city i can't choose my neighbors, but some neighbors don't like kids and will complain if they are to noisy because they are playing soccer in the yard, to the point that they force the building management to disallow it, which then takes a lawsuit from the parents to remove that rule because such a rule is in fact illegal since kids playing is natural had has to be tolerated.

if someone feels that kids playing infringes their boundaries then they do need an attitude adjustment.
In another note: The docker-compose file builds the frontend live on the docker container. I've built similar technology a few years ago and am totally trying to get rid of this kind-of "on-premises" build process, as imho it is WAY to fault-prone.

Interesting to see this project pull it through anyway.

They also begin with updating a lot of deb-dependencies. I imagine this to be hellishly difficult to maintain. Props for even trying!
The best advice for dealing with this kind of fraud is knowing that there are exactly three things that can happen in a conversation with the fraud department.

1. "Did you make these purchases?"

2. "Yes" -> "Thanks, bye."

3. "No" -> "Thanks, we're disabling your card, and sending a new one to your address. If your address has changed, please pick it up at the branch."

Any deviation from this is a scammer posing as the fraud department. Any attempt to gather any information from you, besides 'Did you make these purchases?' is a scam.

They know who you are, if they didn't, they wouldn't be calling you.
This was the video that sparked my interest in modial interactions of magneto reluctance, for which I just finished my bachelor's. Crazy how far we've come with capacitive diractance since then.
> "If the operations we are talking about are ordered, then this provides the atomicity that TFA is asking for."

No, it doesn't. I think we're reaching the heart of the disagreement here - around what "atomic" means.

Atomic means indivisible. It means that other things cannot happen at the same time - that the individual (possibly ordered) steps of an operation cannot be observed while in progress.

This is why it's absolutely nonsense to talk about atomicity across a crash.

The fundamental design of unix files and memory preclude this. It can't be done.
If there only was a system that could automatically disconnect a charged Tesla's and move the to another spot. You know something like a autopilot in a plane.../s

The fact that the charges still can't automatically connect and disconnect like it was demod with this snake thing so many years ago and that the Vegas loop still has drivers leaves me with very little believe that Tesla will ever have an actual working and safe FSD.
>You were contacted after my intervention and a refund arrived along with a 20% voucher nearly three weeks after it was first promised.

Voucher? So you have to spend more money on HP products to claim a shitty 20% for HP having broken contract law? Am I interpreting this correctly?

If so, wow.
I’m glad rust is replacing legacy languages like C and C++. It’s time to stop using memory unsafe language ffs!
The way to use discord/slack/steam/teams/[proprietary nonfree app that you can’t build yoirself] on Guix is to install Flatpak and run it in a sandbox.
If building a product takes a few months, and years of ongoing work, then the 2 weeks delay in submitting should round to 0 in terms of effect on your decision to go native or not unless there's some incredibly hard deadline.
> 1. It's amazing that they're doing this as a gradual C++ to Rust rewrite, while keeping it working end-to-end, if I understand correctly.

Seems to me they're not doing it gradually at all.

> Another thing:

> We plan on not doing any partial-rust release.

> That means we would be doing e.g. fish 4.0 as fully rust and zero C++, and I think, contrary to what we usually do that warrants a beta. (Ordinarily we've stopped doing betas and release candidates because they simply don't get any testing).

> We also still want to do a 3.7.0 in-between release that is still purely C++, so we have a better jumping off point for platforms that can't handle the rust version. It would be 3.6.1 with some neat changes backported.

My Year-Long Struggle Against a Call of Duty False Permanent Ban
This is awesome feedback, and it's intuitively aligned to what I now know to be true about this space. (Alas...)

So many great points in here that I can't respond back in appreciation to all of them, but this one in particular is something that I articulated to a friend just last week:

> There has not been many successful fitness startups recently

Seems like there's a lot to learn and reflect on there!

I very much came at all of this from the product side of things (with gusto and confidence!), and it's only recently (perhaps far too late), that I am truly appreciating just how important the market is in business. (Sounds sooooo obvious in retrospect to say that, I know!)

I remember a phrase I heard a while back to startup tech founders that said something to the effect of "be sure you are working in fast moving water", which just makes so much sense...

And then there's Buffet + Munger's bias for betting on the market (vs founder)...

To say the last, I've at least scratched the surface of appreciating the power of the market in startups + PMF.
For technical stuff I find those type of simple pages a lot more trustworthy.

> How has it been a huge boon to the GNU ecosystem?

It would seem that you never used GCC in the pre-llvm era. The GCC project has had a couple of notable periods of stagnation, in each case being "rescued" by the emergence of meaningful competition. First EGCS, and then later llvm.

Clang brought new developers to the space, it disproved the assertion that error messages had to be cryptic and unhelpful, and it has been a peer competitor for an extended period of time now. The two projects compete and cross-pollinate to their mutual benefit.
> one of the fastest shells out there will probably get even faster […] my terminal productivity has gone up a lot.

Surely you’re not typing and managing jobs at a pace where C vs C++ vs Rust vs $lang matters… or I’m missing something about what fish is bringing to the table.
Did you read Appendix C.1 of RFC 9460? It’s addressed in the very document. If implemented it can reduce time to first byte (it saves round trips to negotiate the next protocol) and it can be retrofitted to existing protocols like HTTP. If this is implemented by most browsers the SNI reverse proxy only has to handle remaining load.
Under German law, I think HP would have been fine. I think the important part is that (apparently) HP made a mistake when they put out that special offer. Whether or not a customer should be able to recognize it as such is secondary.

Everyone makes mistakes and that fact is recognized under German law for situations like that (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erkl%C3%A4rungsirrtum). But of course, the customer should then be reimbursed.
pagerduty/opsgenie is the one that got me
That would also be true if every family had a parent that mostly had free time. Then you just need to know more than one family in the world et voilà!

It would cost way less money to everyone, while allowing more diversity and more actual ressource to be used for the child instead of stupid bureaucracy...

But it looks like you are deep into communist propaganda, as if a third-party institution run by a government would be empowering anything instead of completely destroying everything, including the society it stands on...

The point of the Turing Test is widely misunderstood, and not to pick on you, but your point is a perfect example. The Test is very explicitly NOT about what is on the other side of the curtain, but rather _how do we know_ what is on the other side. Turings point being of course that if you remove all trace “human” things from an interaction and reduce it only the barest minimum of things that we need to mathematics in our universe, (eg ZFC + choice) then not only can we not distinguish if something is an AI, we can’t distinguish if it’s human! Or even conscious. And furthermore, it is not clear we could tell while also retaining mathematical consistency. Which is a much deeper issue about us. What is on the other side of the curtain is actually irrelevant to the point he was making, and his argument is not dependent on it. It could be a baboon. Or a rock. Or a black hole. It doesn’t matter. What matters is _can we tell if it is not human_. It turns out this happens to be not all that different that asking whether an AI is human, but for reasons unrelated to the fact that it is an AI.

I find if you explain to people that the turing test, an uncountability argument, and the chinese room problem, are all equivalent statements of the same thing, that it is much easier to grasp the point Turing was making.

Turings point only depends on us, human beings. So long as we are around and still human, the Test will remain highly relevant.
I would be very interested in this, especially for $45-ish it's a no-brainer... do you have any idea around when could it ship, worst-case-ish scenario?
Arch Linux Developer on Switching to Systemd (2012)
A newspaper intervented and arranged for an amicable resolution. If they had taken this to court, I'm sure they'd have won, but they were happy to accept a refund plus a voucher, so they didn't.

The 20% off voucher is a slap in the face, though. I'd never come out of this situation and still buy a laptop from HP, so it's effectively nothing.
I've never understood what people see in this story. Meat is a complex organization of trillions of self-replicating machines, each of which (besides red blood cells maybe) is also incredibly complex... much more advanced than anything human minds have been able to build.

I can't imagine what a sentient entity would have to be made out of or how much less "efficient" or stable it would have to be than me for me to find it amusing. If it turns out that some slow geological process or a momentary dust cloud are actually self aware, the last thing I would do is laugh.

Is it just an abstract association that we're wet inside whereas computer chips are dry? That's just where our technology is right now, it largely reflects how our brains can't simulate fluid dynamics or conceive self replicating distributed systems efficiently enough so we resort to designing simple, solid state things.
And this is why Texas allows for small claims court, where no lawyers are allowed for either side and it’s a $199 filing fee up to $20,000 in damages.
