Bit of a tangent: Around here, and likely in many other places that were developed before double-digit YDS grades were a thing, 5.9+ is a specific and notorious grade, that is usually closer to 5.11 than 5.9.
There's no way. You cannot just relocate a Linux partition while it's running like you can macOS, unless gparted somehow supports moving a live system into a tmpfs while the operation is performed.

Windows software that does this has to completely reboot into a dedicated executable that does the work before the system is actually started.
“We present Agent-Driver, an LLM-powered agent that revolutionizes the traditional perception-prediction-planning framework, establishing a powerful yet flexible paradigm for human-like autonomous driving.

Agent-Driver integrates a tool library for dynamic perception and prediction, a cognitive memory for human knowledge, and a reasoning engine that emulates human decision-making, all orchestrated by LLMs to enable a more anthropomorphic autonomous driving process.

Agent-Driver significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art autonomous driving systems by a large margin, with over 30% collision improvements in motion planning. Our approach also demonstrates strong few-shot learning ability and interpretability on the nuScenes benchmark.”

Mixing maybe not, but money laundering is, per se, illegal.
Not a popular opinion around here, but generative AI has little overlap with the processes common to creating all sorts of art, but lots in common with commissioning creative work. When you commission art, you have a discussion with the artist— however long it needs to be to get your point across. That can be quite lengthy and involve many sketches, mood boards, etc for important pieces, or a couple of sentences for others— and there are usually iterations where things get modified based on your input. When I do visual design work, I build those two things into every contract I put together. Using generative AI uses almost exactly the same process as commissioning art — you're just commissioning it from a computer that will give you an amalgam of other people's art much more quickly than humans can produce it. That's fundamentally philosophically different than using a tool that will make it easier to put elements that you made into a piece exactly as you want them. Someone compositing with photoshop or doing layout with indesign or whatnot can't call themselves a paste-up person or a dark room photo editor, but they are still deliberately placing elements they made to look exactly like they want, from their own minds, into a piece that they create. They are creating art. I've seen few people using generative AI in my particular disciplines that even vaguely understand how many decisions that algorithm is making for them in that process. They just don't understand it enough to know what they don't know. That's the point, right? Nothing wrong with that, but it's distinct from creating art. It's not even bumper bowling— it's directing an amalgam of all bowlers and taking credit when it gets a strike.

If you commissioned work from an artist, you wouldn't simply cross out that artist's name and add your own, would you? Art directors and editors who exercise precise control over their artist's output don't remove the artists name and add their own, do they?

If there was an AI system that could competently perform surgery, no matter how much massaging that prompt needed, I wouldn't call myself a surgeon for using it, and it would a fundamentally philosophically different activity than a surgeon performing laproscopic survey, evergreen though they're assisted by a modern tool.

Uber sold its autonomous division to Aurora in 2020 https://www.reuters.com/article/us-uber-atg-idUSKBN28H2RX/

Uber's self-driving dreams rest on a partnership with Waymo (and whoever else eventually produces a safe autonomous vehicle).
ubereats is actually kind of a scam though. They lie about some of their promotions, they lie about their delivery times and 'latest delivery by' times, they lie about 'uber cash credit', and they lie about refunds.

I've noticed this stuff occasionally over the years, and started collecting the evidence recently... it happens a lot more often than you'd think.
I've worked on a schemaless version of SQLite for a few years now - https://neuml.github.io/txtai/embeddings/query/

It's backed by the JSON extension. You can use autoids to ensure all data is insert only. I'm sure this project has some really nice features but for the schemaless piece, just saying that SQLite has a similar component in case some don't know.
Yeah I mean I did think of that but after spending all that time figuring out Regex I was decided to commit as fully as I could until it was 3am and I had to go to bed. There were lots of alternative solutions I thought of but chose to ignore out of stubborness. I'm admit, a good bit of the frustration was my own fault (but also c'mon this was way harder than any day 1 we've had before)
Their logo is also based on Half Dome, an iconic rock formation in Yosemite.
Yeah we did Vue pretty heavily and decided it wasn’t the right solution, except for a subset of things that require advanced UI complexity HTML+simple JS can’t offer (aka “islands of functionality”), since half our team is backend devs who just want to make regular simple Rails views. We’re planning a big shift to Turbo for all new feature development.

So much complexity in JS is scary and doesn’t scale well when most of the serious app logic is in Rails. Even for me who was one of the first adopters of Backbone.js looong ago and I’ve been doing JS heavy frontends most of my career.

If we had a more consistent SSR type solution to mix with Rails like Fresh or Remix or whatever I might be less tempted to switch but SSR is very premature unless you’re using a full JS framework which I have little interest in using, even though I write Typescript for a living.

Over the years, I've come to the strong view that America's free speech protections - more or less unique in the world - are by far the best model.

Plenty of other countries gesture at the idea of free expression, even in their constitutions, but in practice it doesn't exist. It becomes illegal to "defame" (or even just "insult") someone by merely expressing an opinion, not making a factually defamatory claim. It's an awful way to run a democratic society.

I mean, I could name a bunch of American political podcasts which would have been sued out of existence by the powerful people they joke about in any other country.

I like leading and mentoring people and projects. I've got a lot of history and experience to leverage and I have a lot to give back in fostering good culture and process and cutting out the bullshit that too often creeps in. I've worked on all sorts of crazy platforms and leading edge situations.

I've fixed broken products and teams. I've done lift and shift and not died. I've originated cool stuff from a blank page.

I'm very happy with my home situation (at the beach) and I built a really great home office with sound insulated walls behind a secret bookshelf door with the expectation that the present and future of smart teams is remote-first and maybe AR/voice. So if coming into an office on the daily is involved, no thanks.
Not while it's running obviously... you boot into gparted live and do it.

And btw, yes you can move partitions while linux is running.
I run out of space on /boot semi-regularly on one of my nixos machines; if anything, I would argue that it's worse at handling the situation if you don't regularly delete old generations
You just need to run off a live distro to do it.
Even if they are very specific claims, it still can’t be something that would be obvious to the average automotive engineer trying to solve the problem. There needs to be some kind of inventive step involved.

This word does indeed mean exactly what I want it to mean, you're cherry picking other aspects of the definition to somehow overwrite the original rather than to acknowledge that we both can be right in certain ways. I'm right about what this word literally means, you're right that carelessness wins the day when it comes to language drift.
Sure. Most of my experience is in California, but I've found the grading differences from region to region to be just large as from out of state or international.

I climb 5.11c+ comfortably in the gym. I can barely lead a short Yosemite 5.8 outdoors; it's terrifyingly more difficult. That's a bit on the high side of a delta, but still typical.

I would say the difference is 75%+ in the scales simply not being the same. For the same grade, the holds would be far smaller, positions much more technical, often far more sustained, etc. The other ~25% is the environment is much more challenging, even with perfect weather at sea level: route finding is harder, you have to manage gear, leading is scary, etc.

I've done a few high Sierra climbs. Grades there are little softer, and my limit is probably ~5.7
I think they’ve been largely wrong so far, but not entirely. Some valuable things have been lost, but there is a clear (and huge) net benefit anyway so we needn’t worry.

But to think that AI (whether generative or some sort of AGI in the future) is just another technology seems to me to be an obvious mistake.

To take one example, there’s a huge difference between using a set of sophisticated and complex software tools to produce a piece of electronic music over a period of tens of hours, and spending ten seconds typing a prompt into one of these new genAI tools and selecting one of the several audio clips it throws back. But I suppose as these technologies mature and gradually become embedded into our ecosystems we’ll find that there’s still just as much work to be done.

It definitely feels like a fundamentally different class of tool to anything we’ve ever had before, though.
> you boot into gparted live and do it.

This is not the same as simply running gparted from the partition to be resized.

> And btw, yes you can move partitions while linux is running.

Not your root partition, unless you can manage to unmount it without having a fatal system crash.

What would that migration look like? The traditional route, which is being discussed in this thread, involves moving your entire root partition around so you have enough room to grow the boot partition. But that's not exactly a process I would want to run on any system without current backups, to put it lightly. The other thought that occurred while I was reading here was that you could create a new boot partition at the end of the disk, which might work if you synchronize everything perfectly and can shrink the rest of the partitions to give you enough room, but we're still talking about fairly delicate tinkering with the boot process and I'm just not seeing a way to do that that's not dangerous at any significant scale.
That's my point. You can't just download and run gparted to resize your root partition, you need to boot from somewhere else in order to do that.

1. that may be true for suicide rates, but not TFR

2. even if suicide rates have remained uniformly at the same level - how does does that disqualify my statement, which is that those numbers seem to contradict the parent, who appeared to assert that Japanese people produced these types of goods because they innately understood the point of life?

I find the assertion with no evidence absurd insofar that it doesn't even need a formal rebuttal. Moreover, I think there are more compelling reasons that explain Japanese cultural proclivities like, as the parent of parent mentioned, an extended isolation from land traffic, minimal wartime damage to the country as a whole which has allowed these types of companies to exist (did multi-generational companies cease to exist in invaded countries because they lacked proper appreciation for life?), and no zero colonial dilution

Parent made a sweeping generalization about Japanese society based on nothing. I made a sweeping generalization about Japanese society based on two demographic points.

Perhaps my perspective is confined, but surely not the most confined perspective in this thread.
5.9+ doesn't mean "harder than 5.9," it's a specific grade of indeterminate difficulty. YDS used to top out at 5.9 before 10a and the gang were added. Any climb that's graded 5.9+ pre-dates the extension of YDS beyond 5.9.

When reading patents, you have to ignore just-about everything and just read the claims. Some of the other part of the patent are often used in support of the claims when trying to interpret or understand them.

This patent covers a battery pack and a cooling system that either connects to the vehicle's main cooling system, connects to a secondary cooling system or has an independent cooling system.

Circumventing this patent (doing it a different way) is really easy. They missed at least two --if not three-- implementations that are not covered by what is being claimed.
Google is getting so desperate for their list $50 in ad revenue that they would rather you switch to FireFox, nothing says 'we care' more than ramming advertising down your throat. Especially when that advertising is tacked on to videos that you don't have much choice to watch, such as government communications, videos embedded in your news feed, videos that explain how the product that you just bought but that no longer has a manual works etc. Nothing like a captive audience.

It also helps them in their upcoming anti-trust case where the EU will mandate their break up into an advertising company, a browser vendor, a search company and something called 'the bin', which in time may become further subdivided.

I don't disagree, but this doesn't address that "if it were free" design point.

Obviously retrieval isn't free, and we have only so much write bandwidth. But a GC might be able to use this in pretty neat ways. You could page out allocations that you think aren't going to be in use, or rarely in use. If you write it to storage, you don't have to be sure. Now that kinda gives you extra infinite memory (the GC dream), so you could do things like project the same data structure into multiple ways depending on how it is being accessed (AoS, SoA, projected subsets, columnar, etc).

We should be thinking about how to have computers decide that deletion strategy for us.
This lot are Carter Fuck (the Private Eye approved name for C-R). They know rather a lot about the laws in most jurisdictions and obviously ours (UK, well actually England and Wales).

There is nothing that stops, say a Russian from ignoring an English Law firm but they might find a local "issue" turns up from a local law firm, prompted from over here. It will be meticulously researched and couched in local legal terms.

You might like to note that recently a judge in the Russian Federation has declared that a group called "international LGBT public movement" is now outlawed. That group does not really exist per se but it is now a label that can be applied to someone. There are penalties in law from being associated with that group/moniker. I imagine that any responsible person can assert that someone is a member of that (fictional) group and expect justice to be done.

Do I really have to spell out how this goes down? Russia at least declares their "issues". Some other jurisdictions don't bother with those ... niceties.
I don't understand why people don't have a fundamental right to refuse ad exposure in their private life (eg.: obviously you can't refuse to see a billboard on the highway, but you should be able to refuse ads in your home or on your devices).

It's very similar to having a right to refuse to eat something you think is unhealthy or that you're simply not interested in.

If you feed your brain enough garbage (and ads have a very high "information noise" content) then your thinking will eventually become garbage as well. In this respect, we're no different than any other AI model.

I hear you objecting and saying that ads create value. Suit yourself and watch all the ads you want. But oh, boy.

Yes they will. I tried to buy a VPS from OVH, and then they immediately locked my account, demanded ID, and refused to refund. Contacted Privacy support to file a chargeback, and they just gave me an equivalent amount of Privacy credit and said not to worry about it, since an actual chargeback would be far more inconvenient for me.
