This is trying to solve the wrong problem. We should be using smaller vehicles, such as electric scooters or automated microbuses in dedicated lanes, etc.

We should rethink why people need to travel great distances on a daily basis. Work-from-home was a major one that got the shake-up and now it's not a given that we must commute up to an hour or more each way each day.

I've always owned/driven a car since graduation, up until a few years ago. Then I decided to park the vehicle and walk/transit/uber for the incidental health benefits. I'm surprised I've not had much issue with this, though if I were to add it up it's probably costing me more time and money than driving myself. I could get a small e-vehicle or live somewhere more livable to improve that if it mattered more.
I'm curious in knowing why you've opted for this model over ChatGPT-3.5. Is it because it performs better in Chinese?
The null hypothesis isn't "it's not true" it's "what's has the highest prior probability?".

> Third-Party Vendor Risks

This is one of the biggest pain points we've had. We used to have a stack that utilized a lot of 3rd party frameworks and other tools which required a very lengthy audit phase each year. The first time we went through it, I had to spend a solid month doing nothing but simply understanding what regs were even applicable to us.

Audits were so painful that we were willing to forego 100% of our principles and dive straight into the Microsoft/Azure kool-aid factory. Today, we have just the one vendor. It is genuinely a better existence all around. I take a lot of heat for being a MS protagonist but I simply don't care anymore. I know what works for us, and what works our our customers.

If you intend to sell software to US financial institutions and you simultaneously want to play games in traffic with highly-principled technology stacks, you should not be surprised when you wind up getting lapped by someone like us.

I think they mean the case where a and b are variables for which you don't know the values.
And despite being single pass, you could call functions and procedures before you defined them (later in the code), by using the forward declaration feature of Pascal.

Because of this feature, the language could also support mutually recursive functions, which some other languages might not have been able to (not sure).

> needlessly avant garde

I'm sorry to say this but there is no such thing as "needlessly avant garde" in Western classical music tradition imho. WCM is about an artist finding his own sound, finding a unique musical language that puts them in the continuum all the way from Bach to him. If your music is not avant garde, it may be great music, but it's not going to be good WCM music. This is just my humble opinion. I almost exclusively listen to contemporary WCM these days, and the way I engage with WCM is different than the way I engage with other genres of music.

Put it as film analogy, the goal is not to make the best horror movie, the best drama, the best scifi; the goal is to make the most creative/innovative/novel/personal/weird movie that happens to be horror, that happens to be drama, that happens to be scifi. At least that's how I enjoy WCM. Everybody experiences music differently, which is what makes it one of the most beautiful human phenomena.

So in short, the more avant garde the better. Note that Schoenberg's music is already grandpa's grandpa music. We want innovation that goes well well beyond Schoenberg. I would consider 12 tone row music ancient at this point, not even remotely avant garde/experimental.
Similarly the 'strongtowns' naming doesn't elicit anything positive/meaningful to me. And if a stroad is the flavor of them, then I'm not interested.
More diversity is fine (give me some manly men aka the burly Simpson towel man) but you ignored the fact that OP also very much handed down a virtue signaling level of high handed "judgment" of the images in question, claiming that their inclusion was "super inappropriate"...

I mean, give me a break. They're completely tame other than being mostly women, but apparently that alone is enough to send people into a fit of hysterics.
Anecdotally it's Mormons that are supposedly over represented in the TLA's:

in reality, Mormons end up in these agencies for perfectly logical reasons. The disproportionate number of Mormons is usually chalked up to three factors: Mormon people often have strong foreign language skills, from missions overseas; a relatively easy time getting security clearances, given their abstention from drugs and alcohol; and a willingness to serve.

My Re:Invent 23
Chasing a Metaspace Leak
Hey, James here from Electric. Congratulations to the PowerSync team :)

As a sibling comment says, PowerSync actually wrote up a comparison here https://www.powersync.com/blog/electricsql-vs-powersync

Aside from Electric being open source and PowerSync a proprietary service, the primary difference is in the programming model on the write path.

Electric provides finality of local writes. So once a non-malicious write is accepted locally, it is final and won’t be rejected by the server. This simplifies the programming model and means you don’t have to code for rollbacks.

PowerSync is a server authoritative system. Local writes are tentative and can be rejected at the server. You run an API on the write path and write logic to handle conflicts and rollbacks.

The different approaches come with different trade offs, both operationally and in terms of the programming model.

On the topic, if interesting, we have a list of alternative projects here: https://electric-sql.com/docs/reference/alternatives
Yes, it was separate chip (per description). Yes, it was SPI flash. And yes, the word was 16 bits.

>Africans don’t even get that. They are just completely and utterly ignored. Nothing that happens in South Sudan, in the Central African Republic, in Congo, in Ethiopia, in Mali, means anything to anyone who doesn’t live there. They don’t even get their existence acknowledged.

This is perfectly OK. Attention is the problem. The more you are left to your own devices, the better chance you have to script your own success rather than be forced to become a pale imitation of someone else who doesn't even understand their own success.
The author's framing can be misunderstood in so many ways that it is not a useful shorthand at all. There can be no absolute rank order of these tokens.

Firstly, in this framing, the "dev" is not one person but it is a collective for lots of people with varied expertise and seniority levels in different orgs – product, engineering and design orgs.

Then, "ops" is again not one thing and not just engineering ops. It could be bizops, customer support etc. too.

Then, "biz" isn't one thing either. There's branding/marketing/sales/legal etc. and execteam/board/regulators/lenders/investors etc.

All of these people affect what code is written and how it is written and how and when it is shipped to users. Everyone should be solving the same "problem".

A lot of the times, a lot of people within the org are just there to make sure that everyone understands/sees the same "problem" and is working towards the same goals.

But that understanding is continuously evolving. And there is lag in propagation of it throughout the org. And hence, there is lag in everyone working towards the same goal – while goal itself is being evolved.

Finally, "user" is not one thing either nor any one cohort of users are static. There are many different cohorts of users and these cohorts don't necessarily have long-term stable behaviors.

So, it helps to understand and acknowledge how all the variables are changing around you and make sense of the imperfect broken world around you with that context. Otherwise it is very easy to say everyone else sucks and everything is broken and you want to restart building everything from scratch and fall into that and other well-known pitfalls.
I would also say it does not really matter that it's implemented in Tailwind. But they propose these components as "copy-and-paste code snippets" and of course it makes a difference when you copy and paste components with styles written in Tailwind, because you also have to setup Tailwind.

>What is the benefit of Tailwind anyway?

I'm prototyping design systems using Tailwind which saves me some minutes of work every day. It also uses just a CDN script that I directly load in the browser, no bundling required. I have an empty "tailwind.config.js" in the root directory in order to use the Tailwind language service.
Yes, and they're not the only ones building EV sports cars.

Personally, while it's not an EV, I'd take one of these at less than one-tenth the price:

Then again, it doesn't mislead very far.
Then also trivial to characterize, to analyze, perhaps also to unwind ?
Yeah I stopped reading since it's based on a false predicate. I've read the rest and it's still undermined by the same unprovable assumption.

Perhaps consciousness is binary and the rock is just as conscious as a human. We don't know. But consciousness != intelligence, and it's reasonable to assume humans are more intelligent than rocks of course, but we can't say anything about each one's level of consciousness.

I don't understand, if ChatGPT is blocked by the firewall, how do you know that ChatGPT is blocking IPs in return? Are there chinese IP ranges that are not affected by censorship that a citizen can use?
I had a BMW from 2007 that had something called "active steering", where an electric motor in between the steering wheel and the rack-and-pinion sort of "adjusted" the steering, which gave it a variable steering ratio (add according to speed) and also stability control interventions (it would countersteer in a slide even if I didn't turn the wheel).

The stability control part is probably the biggest safety benefit of this steer-by-wire system.

Other manufacturers have had similar levels of electronic steering "augmentation" of one kind or another for a long time (e.g. electronically steered rear wheels). In this kind of thing, the safety case is probably that the system only provides small adjustments so that:

1. The driver can overcome any errors in the electronic augmentation system using the main steering system

2. If the system fails, it can switch off and the driver can still steer the old-fashioned way.
Neither are if you track the data leaks and fraud enabled by both systems at scales no one has ever dealt with - https://cybercrime.gov.in/Webform/dailyDigest.aspx

Why is it always some kind of celebrity that "discovers" stuff like this? Was it luck (yet again), or are those extreme failure modes of computational photography already somewhat known, just too nerdy to report on until they can be attached to a public person?
Their subreddit activity agrees with you. Posts get little to no traction on a regular basis.

That said, their model of change is murky. On one hand, they seem to want to be governmental consultants and on the other hand, they want to educate the citizenry on how to advocate for more robust city design. The middle road they’ve taken between those two doesn’t really fit anyone.
"Not everything is a statement"

Have you read the article? It's a statement. The todo app part is just a context.
In AutoCAD's AutoLISP there is a similar ugly situation: some Common-Lisp like functions exist and are in a weird vl- (Visual Lisp, the new name of AutoLISP) namespace, along with functions that don't have anything to do with Common Lisp. You can find things like vl-list* and vl-princ-to-string.
Perhaps if branding and terminology nitpicks are scaring you away, then maybe you never cared about the issue in the first place.

Is suboptimal branding really something that should keep you from being engaged with important things? What does it say about us that this is normal behavior now?
I don't think war games are meant to actually predict outcomes (even if media etc often wanna draw those conclusions). Rather it is to create scenarios to plan for and then it makes sense to ask "if the chinese act perfect when it comes to their systems and doctrine, how do we counter that?". If you can respond to someone acting perfectly you can probably also respond to someone with less skills.
This doesn't really pass the small test for me either, but to play devils advocate:

Imagine you have 2 irrational numbers, and for some a priori reason you know they cannot be equal. You write a computer program to calculate them to arbitrary precision, but no matter how many digits you generate they are identical to that approximation. You know that there must be some point at which they diverge, with one being larger than the other, but you cannot determine when or by how much.
> Woolf led himself astray with an entirely unsound theoretical model for the inner workings of his engine: he believed that steam at twenty pounds per square inch (psi) would expand to twenty times its volume before equaling the pressure of the atmosphere, steam at thirty psi would expand thirty times, and so on ad infinitum.

This seems to to exaggerate the incorrectness of Woolfs model. Assuming that the temperature is held constant (which apparently was stipulated in Woolf's patent) this is true according to the ideal gas law.

It is not clear where Woolf's model breaks down, but this part seems reasonable.

It is possible that the temperature was not held constant in his device, and, working off of the caloric theory of heat, assumed that the issue was leakage of either the original steam gas or of the caloric. In a sense, losing heat (caloric) would be to Woolf's model the same thing as having a leak.
The manual pointed out this can happen at higher compression levels, but they were able to reproduce it at all levels.
Nothing to do with China. It seemed to follow the structured tone of chatgpt. This is why attempts to identify AI content through analysis are doomed.
That depends on the application and the use case, but good performance and good readability aren't mutually exclusive. Easy to read software might not always be the most performant, but it's far easier to improve performance in an easy to read codebase than it is to make a hard to read but performant codebase easier to read.
How else do you propose we stop russian soldiers from raping, torturing, and murdering in Ukraine?

Ionity - 0,70EUR/kWh

Enel X - Charging points in Italy: 0,69€/kWh for AC charging points, 0,89€/kWh for DC charging points up to 150 kW and 0,99€/kWh for DC charging points over 150 kW (HPC)

• Charging points outside Italy: 0,70€/kWh for AC charging points, 0,95€/kWh for DC charging points up to 150kW and 0,99€/kWh for DC charging points above 150kW

Those are just two charging network known for high power chargers on European highways, which I can get top out of my head.

Bad Pods: Kubernetes Pod Privilege Escalation (2021)
It's ok. They'll make up a new word next year when this one flounders. There will also be one that's a mashup of "garage" and "funroom", to try to make you feel like a fool for wasting square footage on the garage.
We had to clean out a small warehouse and repurpose it for testing rig. We have created a piece of hardware to do automated testing and recording, and then we created a small production chain to and produced 100 of them.

Fortunately, we already had all the design, development and production resources to do the project on site (yes, we were doing it all, not outsourcing to China).

Out of curiosity, when using a OS set up to consider a color-blindness, does rendering help at all? I understand that printed materials are a total different story.
It shouldn't matter whether cars are present or not. Why doesn't it just go red to let the pedestrian cross immediately? Obviously with some min interval to stop abuse.

There's a particularly bad one at a busy foot and cycle path near me. It takes a minute to cross after pressing at all times. I know it's done to ease congestion on the busy road but that's wrong. Congestion should be allowed but only the participants (car users) subjected to it. Otherwise it's just making cars more enjoyable at everyone else's expense.
The whole design will be such that a single electrical fault can't make it fail. It probably has at least 3 channels.

Probably won't even allow you to start the car if one of them is faulty.

This kind of thing will almost certainly be designed to comply with ISO 26262.
"Stroad" has been in use for more than a decade by now.
If you're talking about Element switching its contributions to Synapse from Apache to AGPL, the rationale is that folks who want to commercialise Synapse will either have to a) opensource their changes, b) pay for an AGPL exception from Element, c) use a different server (e.g. Apache-licensed Conduit from https://conduit.rs) or d) write their own server.

This hardly feels like suffocating competition.
All the stuff that counted on our board had brownout protection. And if it didn't it is relatively easy to deal with (as long as you are aware of the problem).

(We may have learned a bit about noise and improved further iterations of the device, but sw change was enough.)

That can no longer run on many modern computers as the backwards-compatible BIOS is phased out, not to mention many computers switching to ARM.
I suspect a lot of the "catching up" was achieved by using GPT-4 API to generate high quality fine-tune datasets.
Did it do more damage than the raw ice that would have been there instead?

If not, then "caused" isn't the right word, it's just an incomplete mitigation and not ironic.
Yes. Especially since they have found that yes there was a call to the police.
That was after the initial attack was stopped when someone called out from the windows above and she was only murdered when the attcker came back to finish the job down a dark lane.

So yes

As a passionate competitive gamer since 20+ years I see a 100% parallel to the "Cheating" problem in PC games. There is a HUGE market there and a never-ending game of cat and mouse between cheat developers and anti-cheat developers.

I fundamentally see the same structure: A client-server relationship, some game developers DO trust Anti-Cheats to a huge extent and the AC tools even have ring0 power on your device. And every game ever is full of cheaters and most of them with 0 IT knowledge.

As long as you have access to the network connection or own the end device, I dont see how this can end well for advertisers. Maybe for a few days / weeks / months here and there, but at what price.
Yeah, the end of Dennard Scaling hit the whole industry like a brick wall.
Posting discriminatory comments in support of fighting against discrimination, oh the irony
That last example is where I draw the line. It's one thing to enhance an image, or to alter the contrast across multiple frames to capture a more vibrant photo and a challenging lighting. But for our photography apps to be instantly altering the actual reality of what is occurring in a photo, such as whether someone is smiling or has their hands in a certain pose, or whether they're in a crowd or all alone next to a landmark, is not a feature that I think should be lauded.
Alright, fair enough. I disagree fundamentally with this way of exerting power, but I respect your honesty.
Probably. I know Dodge and Mitsubishi have done it too.
No, it isn’t. If it was, they wouldn’t be moving ordnance and personnel from Kaliningrad and their borders with Finland to Ukraine to bolster their invasion.

My previous assessment hasn’t changed. You are either blissfully ignorant of the reality of the war in Ukraine and russia’s aims, or you are deliberately spreading misinformation here.
Yup. It’s actually possible to live without a car in SF. I have one but now I no longer commute to the burbs for work I only drive once a week or so.
Is there an alternative to list the dependencies, that doesn't have this risk?
Doesnt seem to work on safari on iOS. Not responsive design and nothing happens when I press search button. Great idea though!
Is an argument about corner cases where computational improvement does make sense an argument in good faith when used as an excuse to take away control in all cases?
That looks more like a cat-aclysm to me TBH. Probably the model was overwhelmed by the conflicting requirements, so that neither the individual images nor the composite image are particularly good. But, as you wrote, maybe they will get better at this eventually...
