Plus you've got to deal with the biological offensive you're going to be exposing yourself to. Imagine a whole planet of microorganisms against which we have no immunity or medical experience. Do we even have an antibiotic that would be effective against the new lifeplans we'd encounter? The Spanish colonizers of the Americas died in droves, and likewise the indigenous population; all this from bacteria in lineages which our bodies were familiar with! Now imagine what you're going to experience on a fictional planet with an ecosystem that could support our bodies. We'd be living in hazmat suits for generations, or would have to burn the planet to ash and start fresh.

You'd need something with brains. Detecting the water is easy, but you want something that can check local weather and correlate with that. Ideally a rain sensor at the same location. I could do this with my Tempest and Home Assistant, I'm sure. But... I've never had a pool equipment leak that bothered me. All my equipment is outside the house and a leak isn't a top concern. if it were in the garage, I'd be more inclined to put a sensor there, but then rain correlation wouldn't be a problem.
I think the key phrase in this document is:

Those last two terms mean they're admitting Media Matters' allegations are true, even if they're uncommon.
So, my understanding is as follows (let me know if it's wrong):

* Yesterday's ruling was about ordering to allow the plate manufacturer to hand out plates before they go to Postnord

* This ruling is about the plates that are already with Postcard.

So it seems it's two different things. Also, putting feelings about Tesla and Musk aside, how common is the concept of not doing an overall strike but not doing work for one customer only. I fully support the right of the Tesla mechanics to strike but what about the right of postal workers not striking but not delivering Tesla packages (there was also previous example of dock workers not unloading cars). Is this a right in other countries, too. Can it be exercised for other postal customers for other purposes than their workers striking, e.g. for support of certain political beliefs?
That's not how most people are going to read your statement "We lost our ability to apply any kind of moral judgement".

You're looking at the world through the lens of moral failings rather than taking the hard look at what drives people to this behavior. Why do people self-medicate? Why are people behaving as though their lives were hopeless and full of despair? Why are so many people wanting to watch the world burn? There are answers to these questions, and it's not moral failings, at least not in the way one would think.
Overall I don’t think HN has a lot of negative posts but it does have negative comments. My RSS reader YOShInOn has a model that predicts if a headline will get a lot of votes, things that score very high on that one tend to be “clickbait” articles that create “knock down drag out” discussions. (e.g. anything about low birth rates in Japan)

I think he is using the Vader model from NLTK which is claimed to be pretty good although I am always singing “NLTK is a joke” because most of the models in it are in the “nice try but no cigar” category.

Sentiment models do need to be tuned to the domain. It is easy to get data sets for product reviews for instance, but there is a very definite language people use to talk about the stock market or that use while trolling in social media. I want a sentiment model trained on “angry toots” from Mastodon which would probably be about an FTE-week worth of work to build a training set for (e.g. the time it takes to play a moderate sized video game) but looking at 5000 angry toots might just kill me so I haven’t done it.
I also have a few of these, mine serve as actual switches though. Sonoff stuff is solid.
Keras started out great but grew clumsily, making custom use-cases cumbersome and error prone and also became inextricably linked with TensorFlow (which was a big headache compared with PyTorch).

It seems like this rewrite cleans up the meandering mess of Keras's middle period, or at least I'd be willing to give it a try.

I've only done one, but it was the same process as a regular Blu-Ray. The drive I already had was compatible.

The hard part I'm having is playback with all the bells and whistles. Afaik, support for HDR10+ output on computers is sketchy, but blu-ray menu support on playback platforms (android tv, webos, tizen, roku) is non-existant. Anyway, most devices top out at 100M ethernet, which is below the max bitrate of 4k blu-ray (peaks of 150Mbps). I've heard good things about Apple TV, but also that it's very difficult to manage unless you've got other Apple products, and my Apple IIe doesn't count.

I have a 1G Android TV device, but it still stutters in playback of high bitrate scenes when I ripped to a mkv.
"and all the wrong was done to the parents"

To be clear, it was just one parent. One parent consented, and the article leaves it at "[the mother] did not respond to repeated requests for an interview".

The article mentions a live-in boyfriend also, and I could find nothing in the article discussing the wishes expressed by - what sounds to be - the domestic partner.
if you use other Async runtimes, you need to "wire them up", in this case by providing a "sleep" implementation. I'd strongly recommend using Tokio, especially if you're a beginner. I think the "beefy" statements are not necessarily accurate. You can use it as a single-threaded runtime if you want. Tokio is not going to have a significant impact on your compile times or binary size (given you're already using the SDK!)

AWS Chatbot now supports Amazon Q conversations in Microsoft Teams and Slack
I have a mix of 700 and 800 series Z-wave gear, and I find it borderline useless — a mesh hop struggles to reach one room over.

LR is a rather different thing — slightly different frequency, very different topology, and it requires explicit controller software support. As far as I can tell, most or all 800 series hardware supports LR, 700 might with appropriate firmware, and earlier chips do not. node-zwave-js does not yet support LR, but someone seems to be working on it (slowly).
It's on our radar—one of the biggest issues is that some of the services like EC2 are absolutely massive. We're investigating ways for customers to only compile the operations they need, etc.
I think it depends on what our goals are. If we are just trying to replace current electricity capacity with renewables, the I think solar/wind/etc. + batteries are fine and can be done relatively quickly (though keep in mind new coal plants are still being built!). If our goal is to completely replace all fossil fuels, then I think it will take a lot longer (I think like 100 years) and requires serious investment in battery production such as described in Tesla Master Plan Part 3. However if the goal is all of the above, but also start removing CO2 from the air, I think only something like a fusion breakthrough will make it work. We will need to generate like and order of magnitude more energy to do this. Also we have to realize that while renewables are growing, so are fossil fuels! See https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/electricity-prod-source-s... our total energy usage is increasing, so in order to replace all fossil fuels, you have to not only take up the new demand, you have to eat into the existing, almost like a double exponential! (not sure if the right term)
Thanks, I'll see if I can get printer sharing working.
>Every city has replaced old housing with new over time.

They have. But arguably it's hard to move the needle a huge amount by piecemeal replacing 2 story buildings as they come onto the market with 4 story ones.
I'm very keenly interested on what their underlying tech/model is — I couldn't find any detailed information.
I have large zwave AND zigbee networks. They're very equivalent. I find that the hub is the important factor for ZWave where as each device is important for Zigbee.

Since ZWave is licensed and controlled, I've only had issues where (actual example) a siren supported playing multiple tones but the hub didn't support that particular feature directly.

My experience with Zigbee is slightly different. Being an open standard there are lots of cheap choices however it also means that because there is no licensing to use it, not all of the devices branded "zigbee" are fully compatible with each other. My personal experience leans more towards "Pair the device and cross my fingers that it is compatible". If it's not, nothing works.

Otherwise; They all use the same basic tech (PIR, Resistance for water sensing, magnets and reed switches for door/window open closed) so it really comes down to implementation.
I don't think this is really true.

If by "emissions" you mean the absolute level of CO2 or other pollutants emitted, then the emissions required to build renewable infrastructure will be much smaller than the total emissions for all other causes. It won't be a "massive increase", given what we've already done.

Or if you mean the annual level of emissions, it's also not clear to me how building renewables causes that level to increase, let alone massively. We already have massive annual emissions, and diverting some industrial production to building renewable energy infrastructure won't cause emissions to go up, since those resources would be diverted away from some other use that would also cause emissions.

The whole thread is very interesting
I don't agree. I was an early adopter and I still have some Z-Wave devices, but I won't miss them when they're gone. Pairing is a hassle, unpairing just as bad or worse, and licensing costs mean the devices themselves are always more expensive. My USB dongle for Home Assistant supports both Z-Wave and Zigbee, and as I add new devices and upgrade old ones over time, I'm not buying any new Z-Wave.
Naming choice feels a lil sus considering the existing mindshare on "Q" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QAnon
My understanding was that the request was not for delivery, but to let Tesla take possession of the plates.

This seems reasonable to me. If postnord doesnt want to deliver to tesla, thats fine, but then they should reject packages addressed to tesla, not hold take them and hold them hostage.
Sell it directly to the customers then.

I'm saying we should have the concept of moral judgement. Your judgement could apply that of is okay but something else isn't. Or tricking lonely men into thinking they're talking to you is ok, or loot boxes are ok, etc. but we should have those conversations and not pretend just because it's legal (and I believe it should continue to be legal) that something like of is morally equivalent to being an accountant or something
What’s wrong with the Sonoff one (except maybe the range, I dunno)? I have four of these, they’re reasonably accurate (within 1 °C from each other) and work fine for me.
I definitely had a corrupted CD-R backup that would kernel panic OS X, Windows 2000, and Linux, circa 2003.

Though, most of my OS X kernel panics were due to a GPU slowly going bad and randomly corrupting memory (both under OS X and Linux, when in a particular graphics mode).

QNX is the only OS that I've pushed hard and never seen a kernel panic. BeOS was nice in that my (userspace) ethernet driver would crash overnight most nights, and I'd wake up to a prompt saying "I'm going to restart the crashed driver? Okay?", but I could reliably kernel panic BeOS with some dodgy semaphore code in userspace.
Is there a good guide on the toolchain? What do people use today to keep sane? Something like meson, ninja or cmake? I have inherited some project in scons that was generating msvc 14.1 project and I can heartily recommend against that

Also known as throwing shit at a wall to see what sticks. Evolution is dumb, but it brute-forces its way down the optimization gradients by sheer fucking scale of having turned the entire surface of this planet into tiny, imperfectly self-replicating machines.
Good point. Note that we can't necessarily tell it's an infinite loop, the constructive proof for this Undecidability reduces it to our old friend the Halting Problem, so we're in the land of the Busy Beaver.
Tanuki: Alignment-as-Code for LLM Applications
Hey everyone,

I'm a main contributor of Tanuki (formerly MonkeyPatch).

The purpose of Tanuki is to reduce the time to ship your LLM projects, so you can focus on building what your users want instead of MLOps.

You define patched functions in Python using a decorator, and the execution of the function is delegated to an LLM, with type-coercion on the response.

Automatic distillation is performed in the background, which can reduce the cost and latency of your functions by up to 10x without compromising accuracy.

The real magic feature, however, is how you can implement alignment-as-code, in which you can use Python's `assert` syntax to declare the desired behaviour of your LLM functions. As this is managed in code, and is subject to code-review and the standard software-lifecycle, it becomes much clearer to understand how an LLM feature is meant to behave.

Any feedback is much appreciated! Thanks.
I think nowadays smart pointers should not be considered an "advanced topic" in C++. Smart pointers are usually the best way to handle memory management.

It's definitely useful to learn about "new" and "delete", because those are the primitives that memory management is built on top of. But it should be followed up with good advice like, rarely use these in practice. You should almost always be using unique_ptr or shared_ptr instead of new'ing up pointers that you intend to explicitly delete later.
I am familiar with the project. I’ve owned one for several years, am highly active on the discord and chat with core developers on the regular.

The way it’s phrased in the article linked to makes it sound like it’s “just” a scaler like a Retrotink OSSC. It definitely does fantastic work scaling its own output but it won’t accept an outside analog signal which firmly moves it out of the family of “scaler” to me.

The original claim is that exclusives somehow decided the quality of the console rather than the overall quality of the games available for the console.

The conversation then derailed into whether or not multi-platform was a thing back then. The answer is that it was, SC64 is a counter-example to the claim that it wasn't a thing.

There are lots of other games that can be brought up as well, such as Tony Hawks pro skater, as another counter-example.

That generation was the first generation where multi-platform started becoming common. It happened in the earlier generation as well (Street Fighter and Kirby are two easy examples), but that generation is where it started becoming common. It only got more common as time went on.

The mistake people are making is confusing "not as common as it is today" with "not common at all". You can literally find listicles of cross platform games for that generation.

One problem with products like this is that the same marketing materials are used by DDoS vendors. In their case of course "load testing" is coded language for "DDoSing a target." But nonetheless, you run the risk of people abusing your service to "load test" services they don't control, which could lead to high bills on your side that might never even get paid (people who DDoS others tend to have a lot of overlap with people who pay with stolen credit cards).

Do you have a plan to avoid this? I think it can be solved with simple domain verification. Generate a unique key for the customer and ask them to insert it into a DNS TXT record to prove they control the domain you're about to spam with requests on the behalf.

However, given the flexibility of your platform, that might not be sufficient. If a user can write arbitrary scripts, then can they change the target mid-test? You might also need some kind of firewalling solution in place.

>in the short/medium term this means a massive increase in emissions

No it doesn't. The resources used to build solar/wind/etc isn't even a rounding error compared to global consumption. Nobody is going to crush their brand new car to replace it with an electric one. Heavy industry is going to replace things on more or less regular replacement schedules not just dump capital assets to switch over unless there is a strong economic incentive.

We are, in fact, going to half-ass it. Fossil fuel things are going to be replaced with renewable electric things not to avoid emissions but to replace old equipment when it becomes an economically reasonable thing to do.
Weapons, tanks, cars, materials.
To me it seems like their passion drove them to learn as much as they could. They knew enough to get the job done, but not enough to know that they "couldn't do" the things they wanted to do.

More experienced devs may have thrown out a lot of the ideas the Half Life team ended up implementing as "too time consuming" or "practically impossible". Valve's devs at the time weren't experienced enough to make those assumptions, so they just worked their asses off to figure out how to do it.
