> It’s clear that old school media _really_ does not like Musk or X and are doing anything they can to make him/them look bad.

I strongly suspect confirmation bias is at play.

How about this article?
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/nov/18/elon-musk...

That certainly is not a "rocket man" is bad article. It provides context and states what why Musk would be filing a lawsuit.

How about this article?

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/nov/05/elon-musk...

Seems very expository to me, with lots of quotes from Musk and team.

How about this article?

Which leads with the sentence: "Elon Musk, the world’s richest man; Mustafa Suleyman, co-founder of DeepMind; and King Charles among those weighing in"

How about this article?

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/sep/12/elon-musk...

I very much could see all 8 of those points being conveyed in a much starker light, or potentially selecting different points that were all abjectly negative - rather than the relatively expository nature of the article.

One could cite a lot of things against the lipid hypothesis and likewise the other way. Maybe just think about this from an armchair standpoint... Before 1900 heart disease was extremely rare. And what were people eating before 1900? A whole lot of beef, bacon, butter, and eggs. Saturated fat consumption per capita was basically unchanged from 1900 to 1950. But heart disease skyrocketed. Look at this data:
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FmhBUOpagAA-9Mj?format=png&name=...

Consumption of free sugars, pulverized grains, manufactured oils and cigarette smoking took off like crazy after 1900. Type 2 Diabetes was totaly unchecked and out of control. By 1960 heart disease is the #1 killer and what do they blame... Saturated fat, beef... eggs? Come on... You don't need a million studies to scratch your head a little at the lipid hypothesis.
And even with a high end machine... it's still dubious. It's much, much easier to just write it off like you would any other property lost/damaged/destroyed in the process of doing the job, and it's an aspect of business that more or less every company will already have processes setup for.

An alternator is about 50% efficient. The engine turning the alternator is around 40% efficient. So charging a battery using your engine doesn't really pay off.

If you optimize for a more efficient Regen using a proper purpose driven 'alternator', and only do it when the truck is slowing down, that would be much better. Aka, current hybrid tech.

Strings as _attributes_, yes. But that's par for the course when it comes to html (boolean attributes aside).

However, anything can be passed as a _property_. React operates on properties by default (hence `htmlFor` and `className`, not `for` and `class`). In fact, react's upcoming improved WC support will first do an `in` check on a property name before falling back to attribute. This is similar in vue etc.

So yes if you're only authoring plain html you're confined to primitives, but if you're using a framework or WC lib, they almost certainly support properties

The main problem with the Shadow DOM which makes people avoid it is the inability to use CSS externally to style the elements which are generated internally by the component...

This is unfortunate because the Shadow DOM is essential if you want to work with child components slotted into it from the outside. This opens up many use cases.

There is one alternative which is not being considered; it's possible for components with a shadow DOM to inject their elements into the Light DOM (where they can be styled/skinned externally with CSS), you just have to make the user slot a div (or other element) from the outside to act as a 'viewport' so that the component can inject its children into it (instead of injecting them into its Shadow DOM).

With this approach, you can still access slotted elements. It's an ideal pattern for situations where you want the component to generate child elements from a slotted template.

I wrote an article about this approach here: https://dev.to/jondubois/web-components-the-template-viewpor...
Hmmm.

I think the Lemmy.world instance has very good administrators who have made good decisions thus far.

But as for "who to follow", that's a bit more ambiguous. Its not necessarily important to follow people you agree with... its sometimes more important to follow people you disagree with.

Lemmy.ml IIRC is the Lemmy developer's instance and is therefore important, even if their posting styles do not match what I like to see. I also consider Beehaw.org important, they rub me as snowflakey but I think I respect what they're trying to do (even if I don't necessarily agree with it). sh.itjust.works errs on the other side politically.

Force majeure trumps all obligations. There is no law being broken here.
So many people say: "Don't take young kids abroad, they won't really remember those travels." BS. I took my son to Brazil, it was great, we got on a $1 cab ride, got on a pirate ship, endless alpine slide after the aerial tram, and went to the Botanical Garden in Rio. (He did say: "that day was totally boring, we didn't do anything!", but I know it was the greatest day of his life, and I can point out all those things to him and he'll not demur).

Later, I took my three kids to Barcelona and Greece. They don't remember the time we took a bus from Athens to the beach and they were rolling around on the dirty floor of a bus, but they do remember the Abba-themed wedding.

Those experiences matter.
It's funny how cities clean themselves up only when the rest of the world is looking at them, e.g Olympics, only to fall into disrepair the moment that's gone, because why would the government ever care about its own people, right?

Cut sugar, sauce and highly processed food.

I know they have a fatal attraction, quite literally. But if you manage to get rid of all that junk, you can pretty much eat what you want from the selection of real foods like whole wheat bread, fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats. Mix and match a reasonable balance between those, and you strike a good balance.

But to start with: sugar is your enemy.

Trump lies blatantly to serve himself when you do listen to him directly. Recently he said that without fraud he won every single state in the 2020 election. There is no way a sane person can interpret that as anything but a blatant & dangerous self serving lie. The people who have the most damning things to say about Trump are the people who have lived & worked with him for years. The writer who shadowed him for years to write The Art of the Deal, and the many staff members he hired that would later resign and try to warn people about Trump.
Advice for a wholesome activity with your daughter: Bring her to the closest road/parking lot/park at the inbound end of your closest international airport runway (Typically this changes based on wind direction). Park and watch the planes come in and land. She can use her "radar" to see which planes are coming in (we used flightradar24). My kids were FLOORED how close the planes get to the ground on approach - especially the bigger jetliners. Easily entertained for hours and had to bargain with them to leave because they wanted to see if the next plane was bigger/closer than the last.

I agree with you. I believe that one of the greatest problems American society faces is a corruption of public life on the terms of advertisers and propagandists, who are often the same people. However, I don't have a great solution for imposing a censorship regime on content generation and consumption, and so it is a little more helpful to simply choose an age at which to draw the line where the law treats you as capable of making your own decisions and protecting yourself from mass media.

When I moved some projects from OpenCV 3 to 4 I got a nice speed up pretty much everywhere, some things no speed up at all and some others pretty big. I can't really remember the numbers, but at the moment it was a global 10 to 20% perf improvement just on updating a library.

Might want to check that. Also 4.something got SIFT as part of OpenCV (instead of living in the contrib module) because the patent expired and you can now use it for free.

As for blowing up with NN packages and such... I don't really use those parts, but if the NN module had easier support to run networks trained on popular frameworks I might've used it. Disclaimer: it's been quite a while since I last tried to use those parts, so maybe now the latest version has fantastic support and I'm talking nonsense.

> The precise mechanism is that if your update mechanism involves a manual step per-dependency(You have manually copied and pasted things into your repo), then the time needed to check for updates will scale with the number of dependencies.

I don't know what you're referring to. The resolution up for debate is "Dependencies belong in version control".
You seem to be having a totally different conversation (where you "manually copied and pasted things into your repo").

What "Dependencies belong in version control" means is:

- DO NOT add them to .gitignore.

- DO `git add` them just like any other code.

Updating things doesn't change; you update the packages that you depend on the same way you do if you aren't checking your dependencies in—e.g. by running `npm update` (or whatever).
Perhaps the lambda calculus proper is the oldest, but the choices made in encoding the binary lambda calculus are somewhat arbitrary: for instance, why use de Bruijn indices for symbols, instead of some other scheme, such as the index of the lambda in the string? And why encode de Bruijn indices in unary, and not in any other 1-prefixed self-delimiting format? And why use a self-delimiting format in the first place? Obviously, these choices are quite reasonable and make for a simple implementation, but they're totally distinct from the formalism that Church first described. (And for that matter, Church originally only used lambda notation in the context of an overarching logical formalism that later got struck down.)

Indeed, if we look at Church's paper, we'd find that the term is 80 symbols written fully, {λt[{{{{{t}(t)}(λh[λf[λn[{{{n}(h)}(f)}(n)]]])}(t)}(t)}(t)]}(λf[λx[{f}({f}(x))]]), or 44 symbols when abbreviated, {λt t(t, (λh λf λn n(h, f, n)), t, t, t)}(λf λx f(f(x))), which aren't too impressive given the alphabet of 11 or 12 symbols.

That's an observation worth investigating. Here's another set of data points to see if there's more to it...

Input prompt: "Six robots on a boat with harpoons, battling sharks with lasers strapped to their heads"

GPT4V prompt: "Write a prompt for an AI to make this image. Just return the prompt, don't say anything else. Make it funnier."

Result: https://dalle.party/?party=pfWGthli

Cost: Ten iterations @ $0.41

(Addendum: I'd forgotten to mention that I believe the cost differential is due to the token count of each of the prompts. The first case mentioned had less words passed through each of the prompts than the later attempts when I asked it to 'make it whimsical' or 'make it funnier'.)

most companies send employees laptops with mdm, recorded serial numbers, etc. sure, an employee that decides to fafo with laptop theft is going to cause a hassle, but it should be much more of a hassle for the former employee.

this has nothing to do with hardware, in fact that’s the point. this little cube is useless outside of a single use case. go ahead and take it, it’s just hardware, and will likely be no more than that once stolen.
This type of behavior will only serve to cheapen content across the board. At this point, even the word "content" betrays the emptiness of it all - people don't pay for bags and boxes of "content" do they?

AI "content" is a nothing-burger. It is inherently devoid of "value" and seems like a last-ditch effort to squeegee the remaining drops of attention off of everyone's eyeballs without actually investing in genuine creativity.

As more and more of this dross floods the Internet, the very purpose of the web may be called into question. How can we share information with each other if the world's library/archive becomes the world's bot-poop landfill?

The Internet has evolved from a shared information system to so much more, so I hope this unfortunate phase will soon pass and ML tech can be put to more appropriate use than just crapping out low-effort "content" all over the place.
Yes. And if that's internal AWS statistics then I am moving my stuff out of AWS very quickly.

Alternators are suited to the electrical needs of the truck. Asking them for even another 1 KW is not practical.

Charging a hybrid truck's lithium batter at 1 KW is nowhere near enough power to be useful.

If you want to have the diesel engine charge the battery that means a total redesign if the truck, its engine, and its power train.

If it's greenfield I'd agree. There's a reason why most companies founded after 2008 have a heavy public cloud presence.

The issue is if you are a large brownfield deployment (like most F1000s), a "Cloud Transformation" takes forever and is costly.

It can be done - for example Capital One and Broadcom - but it requires executive buy-in to respect engineering leadership and build a solid DevOps/Platform team.

I know if I was to found my own company tomorrow, I'd be entire cloud first because of velocity and ease of scalability, but you can't expect a company like UnitedHealth Group to transition to an entirely cloud first environment within a 2-3 year timeframe as even a minor outage represents millions of dollars lost a minute and litigation.

Over the next 10-15 years we'll see a large number of non-tech first companies becoming multi-cloud, but in 2023, it's still work in progress.

Longevity scientists are mostly just experts in the field of getting duped by pension fraudsters who say what they want to hear: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_zone#Scientific_reception

Parts of the field are in worryingly deep denial about the number and magnitude of confounding variables a moderate level of skeptical empiricism suggests could be present in their foundational research. As, again, in the specific case that user is worried you're glossing over: The lipid hypothesis was probably developed from studies with diets also high in processed foods, simple carbohydrates, added sugar, salt, and vegetable oils, and low in organ meats and heavy-metal-free fish. Don't we all agree these things as a staple in a diet will probably negative health outcomes on their own? How can the field be confident enough to publicly assert a model on that? Have they put the rice-fruit-and-legume diet through as rigorous a comparison to the chicken-veg-and-liver diet as they did to the McDonald's special diet? It'd be nice to develop a culture of a straight answer of "Yes, and here's the confirming metaanalysis [1]" on this question in place of this "mind-your-seniors" browbeating. Isn't that what science is supposed to be about?
