At one time when the router was powered up, it would attempt to send your IP address and router serial number back to GL.iNet. Theoretically, that was to enable a Dynamic DNS service that they ran. It could be turned off, but if you had it connected to the Internet at the time, your info leaked. So I would ensure the first power-on had no WAN, so I could go in and turn off all that stuff. I consider that a dark pattern, and it makes me generally suspicious of the vendor.

Not that I'm not a big fan. These things are exactly what I need for travel. And my company sends me places with iffy Internet connectivity, so I have found it incredibly useful to have a tiny device which can set WAN to be wireless, wired, or cell-modem. I used to wipe it and reload with OpenWRT.

When you find a company who sees what users are doing (like populating the serial port), and that company changes their device to do that by default, you've got someone who actually cares about customers.

The problem, really, is China. Just like Russia, China has laws requiring full cooperation with the MSS by all electronics manufacturers. So I just assume breach, meaning my devices are either back-doored at the factory, or are sigint-ready just by pushing out a new system image. If they have your device ID and external IP address, they can probably target specific people who are high-value.

Just to be fair, the NSA has been caught fiddling with crypto to make it "sigint ready". Snowden showed photos of NSA re-boxing Cisco gear (where do you suppose they got that Cisco-branded anti-tamper tape?) Everyone spies; it's just a fact of life.
I assume to take compounding into account, you want the 12th root. Instead of 12% → 1%, 1.12^(1/12) gives around 0.95%.

The reason Stan, Nimble, PyMC fit via simulation is because joint distributions generally don’t have an analytical form and require global fitting methods to identify.

I’d hazard to guess that if this package fits incrementally without simulation that either it doesn’t aim for a global optimum or that it places substantial limits on the form models can take.
Today I learned. The Tesla owner's manual has alt descriptions for its images. They're not good alt descriptions, but they are there.

In fact, it is one of the most screen reader accessible manuals for any device I've ever seen, most are some weird PDF abominations where all the button names are replaced by their unlabeled icons. Even devices made specifically for the blind have these issues sometimes. This? This is just perfectly readable HTML.

It's especially ironic considering that Teslas (as far as I know) aren't accessible in any way. Even the infotainment system, which a blind person might want to use, for example when waiting for a sighted acquaintance in the car, does not have a screen reader and is not in any way usable.

Adjust those for inflation, and also the larger market these days (more international viewers paying nearly full price).
I think the way to look at this is that Nix allows users to decide what kind of image they want.

If I want a smaller package than what the official package offers, I can do just that. Just create a new package on the fly by extending existing package definitions. Disabling features, adding compile flags, dropping dependencies, patching the source of existing packages is very easy to do in Nix. With Debian or Alpine, I have to rebuild software from scratch if some package doesn't fit my needs. With Nix, it's only a few lines of code. For example:

nginx.override { withPerl = false; }

Nix also lets me choose what I want or don't want to include in my image. A Nix built image is just another Nix "package," so it has enough information to include only
the things I need. Docker can't do that because it has no insight whatsoever about files included in an image. So I'm left guessing which files are needed and which aren't and have to tediously copy those in a completely new image.

Finally, Nix lets me choose how I want to run my applications, including if I even want to run them in containers or not. Way too often, Docker-native applications becomes so tied to the image that it can't be run any other way. If I want to change some aspect of the environment that an application runs in, I have to fork the whole thing. Worse, when it comes to building Docker images, there are no reproducibility guarantees. With Dockerfiles essentially being no more than a shell script to make tarballs, they're very much a "works in my environment" way of building software.
I feel like we need to rethink pc architecture entirely. GPU’s are so insane now that we almost need a motherboard on top of a motherboard, one for cpu and one for gpu where the gpu is also socketed and can be upgraded. Memory too. Would allow board makers to deliver better power solutions and have less coil whine. Thinking like a pi hat bolted on top. Having its own ram slots and whatnot. Or more realistically it would go on the back, and the motherboard would move closer to the center of the chassis versus being on one side. Graphics cards are huge and having a massive card hanging off a tiny little slot with a cooler that is oftentimes bigger than the cpu cooler is just insane to me. We are at the long tail of a perpendicular mounted card methinks. Can’t really take it much further. Vertical mounting will soon become a necessity so I think we need to go back to first principles and rethink from the beginning.
I've always written Lisp with an editor, into a file, and used the REPL only for exploratory and debugging tasks.

Some of my early Lisp programs used a Makefile.

Lisp is great even without the scatter-brained approaches that some Lisp programmers advocate in order to roll people's eyes and turn them away from Lisp.
I always wondered if Go would be a good language to make a game in due to its concept of goroutines. Maybe one of these days I’ll give it a shot.
Yes, because... Physics and you know, Math.

Your verbiage isn't in the spirit of HN.
“Climate Equality: A Planet for the 99%” draws on research by the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) and assesses the consumption emissions of different income groups in 2019, the most recent year for which data are available. The report shows the stark gap between the carbon footprints of the super-rich —whose carbon-hungry lifestyles and investments in polluting industries like fossil fuels are driving global warming— and the bulk of people across the world.

The richest 1 percent (77 million people) were responsible for 16 percent of global consumption emissions in 2019 —more than all car and road transport emissions. The richest 10 percent accounted for half (50 percent) of emissions.
Not always. Fun and flashy makes sense if you’re selling consumer goods, but not if you’re selling your capability to provide a service and especially a critical one at that.

I grew up in a non-English suburb and household - we had it as a mandatory subject in school but my conversational skills was zero and my accent was terrible to boot.

It helped that I read a lot of English books so that helped when I attended an English only university and speaking for the first time when I turned 18.

There was TV but most programs were dubbed - think The Cosby Show, Dallas and Archie Bunker, The Bob Newhart Show, Happy Days was the only English ones we watched.

The Waltons was dubbed though.

Boy was that difficult in the first year - surrounded by English only speakers from a different culture to boot , so I kept a lot to myself and did not engage with anybody.

They (all major streaming services) throw away millions on series they never release, they reduce spending on new series, and yet they still manage to increase the cost of the service - and some are even adding pre-roll advertising?

I was a huge advocate for these streaming services, but with the unjustified pricing hikes, ongoing georestriction of content, and the addition of advertising into a paid service, it has now come full circle and I feel the return to torrents is inevitable.

I think it's much simpler than you're proposing.

It's just greed and a desire for control.

The neoconservatives who began their campaign shortly after the civil rights battles of the 1960s achieved a great deal during the Reagan presidencies.

Many of the problems with the US today can be traced back to or through those years, including the relaxation of financial laws and regulation that led to the 2008 housing crisis, the ongoing consolidation of American businesses through mergers and acquisitions, and the increasing inequality in wealth distribution.

There's no reasoning to it beyond a group of people who want to live in the world they thought they were in back in the 1950s, when god was in the pledge of allegiance and America was perceived as mostly white.

Money and political power are letting them heavily influence the US for now. Unfortunately it will probably only be correctable once they die of old age.

There's no great strategy in play. The Democrats aren't a lot better in their goals, they also want the imagined past in a different way, but they're not the ones causing the issues.
Sounds good! Standing by.
Hm, that's a hard one. I try to involve my kids in them, this doesn't always work, but when it does it is fantastic.

I'm also an insomniac (it's 7:20 am here and I'm still awake...) so I have a ton of time when everybody is asleep (that's when I do most of my coding and reading), and when everybody is off to school I catch up on sleep. Not ideal but it mostly works. Another nice-to-have is that I can make ends meet with a relatively small fraction of the year spent on work (and that simply means I'm not reducing my savings, if I want to grow my savings I'd have to work more than that).
From TFA:

> The Food and Drug Administration Wednesday approved the Eli Lilly drug tirzepatide for people who have obesity. The drug, sold under the name Mounjaro, has been available since last year for people with type 2 diabetes to help improve blood sugar.

> The news means that many people who have obesity but not diabetes can, for the first time, get insurance to cover tirzepatide. One expert called the approval a "major milestone" in obesity medicine.

> As a treatment solely for obesity, the drug will be called Zepbound.
Props to the person/team owning docs at Tesla. This made Tesla as a brand more humane in my book.
My previous car, a 2014 Model S, had my favorite acceleration sound of any car: a guttural whine in a perfect third, ascending as speed increased, and louder as load increased. It's the only thing I miss after upgrading to a Model 3. Well, that and the ability to do burnouts. Confused quite a few people doing that.
Well this is good, but like most of the content on the internet on LLM applications this is for beginners, any good sources for intermediate reading ?
To some extent it probably depends on where you started with the games. I was about 6 or 7 when the original The Legend of Zelda came out. I had well over a decade of playing Zelda games before OOT came out, I was in college at the time. If I had been a kid when OOT came out then that, or one of the other 3D games, might have been my favorite.

That’s very incorrect. Nvidia requires that every piece of firmware along the way be updated to support it, and won’t enable it unless they are. However if they are, depending on the game there’s definitely uplift.
>Some diesels got so efficient though that they needed an extra in-line heater to have enough heat for the cabin in specific operating domains

I live on the top of a hill, so the first seven minutes or so of me driving anywhere is coasting at minimum engine power. Once air temp gets below 10C it's a long, slow painful wait for the vents to start blowing warm air. Especially unfortunate when you're waiting for the defroster to start doing something. I've considered installing a block heater, even though it wouldn't be needed to start the engine at all, just to warm the coolant up!
Lunar went through a transition from Node/Typescript, to Java to Go and they seem to think it’s the “only” language worth building a back-end in. Which is obviously a wild statement, but having worked with C# and .Net as well as C++ for the past decade and now slowly moving into Node/Typescript I can sort of see why you would want to leave some of the “legacy” technologies like Java or C# behind.

Not because they aren’t excellent, but because they aren’t great to work with. C# and .Net has never been greater than they are now, and yet we increased our productivity by switching to Node/Typescript by around 20%, with the added benefit of having a single language across the stack. The latter was the primary reason for the switch and the increase in productivity came as a sort of surprise and we’re honestly still trying to figure out why our developers produce things which are measurably better at a faster pace with TS and for many a change of tech from something they’ve used for many years. I see some similar reflections and stories coming from the lunar team on why they switched from Java to Go.

That being said. Whatever works is always the best technology. If that’s C, C#, PHP or whatever, then that’s always going to be your best answer. I don’t think there is really any reason to “pick” the right technology from the get go, you can always worry about that when/if it becomes a problem. We didn’t switch to TS from C# because we disliked it, we did it to share our resources better. Eventually if/when we grow enough, we’re likely going to have to change things. Though maybe not. Lego seems to be doing fine on mainly Node and I doubt will reach their size any time soon.
Isn't the main problem that academics are measured by the number of publications they publish, and reproductions of existing studies aren't published by the main journals, thus there is little incentive to try and reproduce findings? I never thought this was a problem of ability.
No need to make it illegal. The laws just need to be fixed to stop making it mandatory, and every automaker will drop it immediately.

>as if all games were doujin, and all doujin were perverted.

My sincere opinion, as a Japanese-American, is that I have experienced the best stories that games have to offer in eroge (erotic games), that stuff beats out so-called mainstream titles (AAA and otherwise) any day of the week. A number of them have made me cry genuine manly tears, and I am not ashamed to admit it.

This is to say, I came for the seckz and stayed for the plot.
"The flow of misinformation is a blight on societies. It leads to mistrust of facts, media and institutions,” explained Professor Darren Lilleker of Bournemouth University who led the study. “When politicians lie their opponents will call them out, but this can simply result in the politicisation of facts. Each side of a political divide has its own truth,” he added."
Is THAT what it was supposed to be?? God, the ugliest logo in history.
That won’t work electrically, and it’d have crippling performance problems if it did. Thunderbolt is not that much bandwidth compared to gen4 x16 pcie, and there are already latency problems to boot.
I remember when the Atari 2600 needed a license to make games for it, but companies made the carts themselves without the license. This led Nintendo and Sega to lockout copyright codes in their systems.
All the blind people will definitely not want that...

I can see, and yet I've been scared more than once by an unusually quiet car behind me.
I believe the reason why we have seen so many different numbers given as limits for distribution is because they are often measuring different things. As you know, the limits will vary depending if it is just distribution or if global/mnesia are used. I have seen distribution by itself going north of 300 nodes (and heard from others going quite beyond that) without issues and heard reports of global usage struggling past 40-60 nodes (especially global transactions).

At least in the Elixir ecosystem, global is rarely used and I personally suggest looking for alternatives if you are going past 20 nodes. Unfortunately I have no practical experience with mnesia.
And also incredibly accurate. I know Teslas are commonplace now, but the raw acceleration of an old Model S was seriously something to behold.
Thanks for the detail. Makes sense.

On "matters" - I was distinguishing all of a customer's mailboxes being encrypted together vs their mailboxes being individually encrypted. I was saying that the former is the most useful point of comparison I'd want to see - is my data encrypted separately to other people's - not the latter. But I may not be representative.
Samsung appliances do this I think? Or some other brand.

You basically call a number and then press a button on the appliance and it produces a sound that tells the customer service what's wrong.
>If they didn't do that, people would use Steam as a storefront to find games and then buy them on a different platform.

sounds good to me. If people want those advantageousfeatures or to stay in Valve's garden, they will pay more for that even if a cheaper pricing appears. Especially with so many complaining about non-steam releases and even claiming they will pay more just to say "fuck you" to EGS.

People who don't care (like me. I still have my game exe's on my desktop like a boomer) will research and find a better price, if possible. As is, Steam seems to discourage this.

>That being said, the indie developers could just set the game price to the same everywhere when they want to make a discount (which is what most do)

yes...because pricing parity. I'm assuming you can't just have a game on eternal sale on an alternative storefront as a loophole. I don't know the details of the sales period, but if GOG or Itch ever wanted their own fest, devs may be afraid due to risk of de-listing on Steam.

The most dangerous thing is that a lot of Valve is fast and loose behind the scenes. They are generally good enough to know when something is bad PR and let it slide. But there's plenty of old school Nintendo-style blurry lines when it comes to submitting.

So here's a scenario I haven't seen brought up yet.

Elbonian hackers manage to steal the singing key of kneebonia who is part of the EU (and also does IT as well as you would expect a European national government to do) They start publishing a ton of their own certs and start MITM everything out the wazoo.

In the current environment this is noted by the community quickly they respond and revoke the Kneebonian cert, they understand what is happening, they understand why it is happening, they understand why it is bad and they have a vested interest in stopping it.

Compare under the EU rules. The browser vendors cannot now revoke the cert of their own violation without risking significant penalties. They start the process of trying to get it revoked. The individuals involved are largely beauracrats and civil servants the likes of Sir Humphrey. They do not understand the technical jargon they just know the nerds are getting upset. They'll work on discussing the proposed change by evaluating a written request in the Orwellian named "Committee for Public Internet Safety and Electronic Information Security and Cyber protection" this committee meets 3 times a year on March 31st, October 16th and February 29th. In the meantime the entire underlying security model of the internet is broken.

Now some might say "well if it's an emergency they'll respond immediately there will be public outcry and people's lives being ruined." And if it becomes a big deal the EU will act promptly, they will create a taskforce immediately whose job will be to create a recommendation for individuals to serve in a committee to investigate the source of the problem and create a list of possible remediations that could resolve the problem, which it will then present to the parent committee who will draft a response..... Etc etc ad infenitum until everyone involved with the matter has died of old age, and if you think I'm exaggerating when has EU done anything quickly?

At most points in the product stack, memory frequency increased by enough to compensate for the narrower bus. Dropping to a narrower bus and putting more RAM on each channel allowed for some 50% increases in memory capacity instead of having to wait for a doubling to be economical. And architecturally, the 4000 series has an order of magnitude more L2 cache than the previous two generations (went from 2–6MB to 24–72MB), so they're less sensitive to DRAM bandwidth.
