Yeah, I think the root comment of this thread is talking out of his ass. Third-party trackers are not needed, and wouldn't make sense to use, to discern browser market share; browsers self-report their identity and operating system unless specifically configured not to.

You need to also consider labor cost of installing that cable and switch. That's usually more than the cost of the materials.

Mostly just trying to avoid an awkward gotcha moment where someone digs through my comment history, finds a reference to my employer, and accuses me of some sort of shilling.

I've seen it happen to other people and IMO it's better to go with the lame disclaimer.
I don't think it'd be chaos. I think the laws would be adjusted.
It’s federated like email. If you have a Gmail account, you can talk to people with a Yahoo account. You can’t use your Gmail account to log into another server, though, unless that server adds code to specifically support it. They’re separate servers operated by separate entities.
Don't think it's particularly innovative really - a lot of electricians in the UK are now installing the Quinetic - https://www.quinetic.co.uk/ - system and it works really well in terms of wireless switches.

Mostly it's not to save the cost of the actual cable - but to save the install cost on an old brick building, where installing a new switch requires fairly extensive work to the house and brickwork.
I use it 50 times a day and love it.
Steep damages is in many cases not enough because the likelihood of being found out is so low. The damages then have to be extremely steep for this behavior to not be incentivised. Basically to bring the expectation value negative, the damages has to be larger than the profit gain by this behavior, divided by the probability to be caught. Often this will be more than the value of the company, and then the damages do not matter as they simply bankrupt. In that case, the rational business practice is to go for it and hope to not get caught. Any other behavior will eventually lead to bankruptcy in a competetive market.

Without digging too much, I don't think such an argument could be made by this paper. A non trivial lower bound on a concrete problem in a general computation framework would be a marvel on its own.

As another example of what I mean, take sorting. There is an omega(n log n) lower bound that applies to a comparison based algorithm, but no lower bound other than trivial n is known for general computation.

It really boils down to how you define your search space. If you encode your input in a way that is already exponential on some parameter n, then even a linear algorithm would take at least exp(n) time just to read the input.

Let's say you have an algorithm, encoded in L characters, that can produce these extremely long paths, then a natural question is whether for any two vectors of n k-bit integers what is the complexity in terms of nk and L of determining whether they are connected? Note that I don't need to generate/read a huge state graph, I could do something smart by understanding the algorithm.
I use a 1Mii B03 connected to my PC through TOSLINK. It has a physical switch to toggle between low latency and high definition mode.

My first thought is "was Apple behind this?" I understand that they claim to have reverse engineered it...but if it's such a trivial conversation exchange, it is a bit surprising this hasn't been utilized before. Seems convenient given the loud exchanges happening about RCS and the like. And unlike RCS, iMessages actually has E2E baked in.

The next thought it the utilization for abuse such as spam. E2E is wonderful but it also means that the normal cryptoscammer / phishing checks can't apply. There are mentions of rate limits and that surely comes into play, but given the simple proof of concept it would be easy to scale out.

> That is very rose-tinted view of the situation. Crucially the keyboard can not bypass the input handling layer of OS, it can only send simple scancodes

This. Also, even if trying to do without a keyboard (I can't carry one anywhere I go, but I can prepare scripts and environments!), "advanced" scripts can confuse the input handling layer.

> Either that, or OSs should provide better facilities for remapping stuff and handling arbitrary layouts so that keyboards can revert back to being dumb again.

Even if you have better facilities, it's never perfect: I have a Caps to Esc+Control directly on the wayland composer that is quite reliable: Hyprland has advanced options to do key binding and remapping (https://wiki.hyprland.org/Configuring/Binds/) which is a wonderful thing to have when your workflow is keyboard centric.

However, gvncviewer sometimes gets its Caps status confused, and I have to close it and start it again to have access to the unshifted symbols (while it still works for the letter... so it does something like Shift Lock, and while I would love it to work well I can't spend time on just 1 application that refuses to work well with the settings every other application seems to be fine with.

Transformers.js releases Zero-shot audio classification support

There’s a difference. If they wanted to spy on me today, they’d have to look at the logs my ISP keeps into perpetuity to find my usernames on HN and then some unfortunate person has to read hundreds or thousands of comments and take extensive notes of the controversial political and social opinions that I hold.

Additionally, even without ISP logs, an AI could find my accounts online by comparing my writing style and the facts of my life that get mentioned in brief passing across all my comments. It’s probably a more unique fingerprint than a lot of people realize.

With an AI, someone would just have to ask with the prompt “what are the antisocial opinions of first name last name”? And it’d be instant and effectively free compared to the dozens of hours and high expense of doing it manually
IBM is not a company to partner with for open source development. They failed terribly to commercialize Watson, a proprietary AI. IBM continues because of legacy and captured government relationships, not because of thought leadership.

Say what you will about Meta, but they've done more for open source AI than any other company. Granted, transformers research emerged from Google, but they're not open sourcing Bard any time soon.
Maybe, maybe not. Right now, though, that isn't a reality.
> Is this a better world,

If the same monitoring is present on buses and private planes, homeless hostels and mega-mansions then it absolutely is better.

How so? Other than the security issues that get exploited by NSO group from time to time (that appear to be mitigated fairly well by lockdown mode if that's something that's important to you) or the obvious flaw that you can't talk to anyone that doesn't have an iPhone it seems to be a perfectly good platform. The alternatives either have worse encryption (Telegram, RCS), worse privacy (WhatsApp), or the same platform lock-in as iMessage (Google's RCS).
This never fails to make me tear up with laughter. The quadrant where he stands up just really gets me.
> "The manufacturer argued that this was because of malpractice by these workshops"

Is this intended to say:

- The manufacturer says the locks are caused by malpractice of the 3rd party workshops

or

- The manufacturer says they lock the trains because of past malpractice of the 3rd party workshops

The poster also states

> "One version of the controller actually contained GPS coordinates to contain the behaviour to third party workshops."

This seems oddly specific, there are better ways to determine if the train has been serviced by the manufacturer or not, such as using PKI.

I can imagine a scenario where this isn't for greed of servicing fees, perhaps the brakes need replacing every x miles and if this isn't performed the train locks for safety. If the 3rd party workshops specified thought

"there's more life left in these pads, I'll just reset the counter and make the train think the pads are new"

The manufacturer would have significant backlash should the train then crash and kill people, regardless if the 3rd party workshop was at fault.

I'm all for right to repair for most things, however commercial public transport isn't one of them unless there's some vetting/accreditation process.

>Why would you use <span class="small"> instead of <small>?

Because I can't be sure I'm using <small> correctly. The spec says "The small element represents side comments such as small print." and then says "Small print typically features disclaimers, caveats, legal restrictions, or copyrights. Small print is also sometimes used for attribution, or for satisfying licensing requirements."

You know what this makes me think of? Those captions under images that says the source of the image. Like "photo by John Smith licensed under creative commons." I bet it's the wrong use for this. If it's the right use, then it's worthless either way because there will be a caption for an image in your website that doesn't have this sort of text in it, so you shouldn't use <small> for it, but you'll still want it to look like every other caption in your website, so you'll end up using a class for it anyway.

It's ironic people are relying on semantic tags for styling over classes while it's been repeated so often that semantics is not for styling.

>That's a specific example of indicating keys to press in a menu

Yes, that's what I meant. The fact that the spec implies you're supposed to write code like that God knows whom for doesn't change.
Sure, but it’s compatible with smart devices without any jerry-rigging for backward compatibility, not to mention labor savings. You can probably use the transmitter to power other low energy IOT devices too.

2022 PISA results on education by country
This is fair. I just wonder if we're about getting to the point where we should be talking about how they would be adjusted.
I am using https://masto.host/ for Mastodon and https://elest.io/ for Lemmy. They are fully managed.

I'm not worried about who owns my data, but I do want to have a stable identity. The first Mastodon server I signed up with mysteriously disappeared after a couple of weeks, so I decided I was better off paying a small monthly fee to put it on my own domain.
Effectively enforcing laws we agreed to is hardly authoritarian.
I mean clearly if it's a mistake this is a matter of terminology not intelligence, but could you explain how it's wrong?

If A wins, B pays A $1. If B wins, A pays B $N. For the bet to be fair (zero expectation value), the probability that A wins needs to be p=N/(N+1) and that B wins needs to be 1-p=1/(N+1). My understanding of what "odds" are is the ratio of the outcome probabilities: p:(1-p) = p/(1-p) = N/1 = N:1. (This is why the "log odds" are log(p/(1-p)).)

Do they use a different notion of "odds" in sports gambling?

Romex is around 1.5-2 hrs per hundred feet and a single pole switch takes around 5 minutes. Even at $120/hr it’s around $30-40 of labor.

These wireless switches need relays to work, so factor that in. And then factor in the time it takes your $120/hr electrician to figure out how the wireless switches work.

I would use a $30 Lutron Pico with a button cell and RF communication over this silly device that generates its own power.

But what do I know, I only sell electrical services for a living.

They’re also priced out of basic food in gentrified areas.

I posit that rich people actually enjoy having groceries cost double what they do just a few miles away, because it means only the ‘right people’ mingle with them in public.

Personally I exemplify this. I make enough to go to the fancy Whole Foods and shop in peace, whereas the local Safeway in the same neighborhood has people screaming and throwing objects and items are locked behind bars. Simple price differentiation keeps those people from bothering to enter WF.

I had a similar experience a few years ago. I started a new topic and immediately I had some guy marking it for deletion.

- experimental design

- doing experiments

- analyzing the experimental results

- doing new experiments

- analyzing in which sense the collected data support the hypothesis or not

I agree, I think the original sin here is the fact that whether a `SELECT` is an aggregation is determined by the contents of the scalar expressions at all. I think most of this weirdness comes directly out of wanting to be able to write both `SELECT sum(x) FROM xx` and `SELECT x FROM xx` and have them work.

Not that I have a better solution offhand, in SQL grouping by a constant value is not actually the same as not writing `GROUP BY` at all since the behaviour on empty tables is different.

It's certainly reasonable for governments to require some sort of licensing or accreditation to work on safety-critical public infrastructure. It is not reasonable for another service provider to have the final say over that, especially through the use of undisclosed software locks.
You might be interested to know that many times, packets in a TCP session take asymmetric routes across the internet. In my experience, the most common reasons for this are business rules related to cost and human error.

If you think about how IP works, you’ll see that this doesn’t particularly matter but that it can make understanding the routing more difficult.
Getting a job in the 90s was easier (depending on how you define easier), but none of it was online. There were plenty of open positions, but you had to attend a lot of in-person job fares, send actual paper copies of your resume and cover letters to people in Human Resources, follow-up with phone calls, and show up to interviews in a collared shirt. The job market right now is a lot like after the bust in 00. Everything really sucked for a few years after that

I was exaggerating of course. There are nice things about Boston. The new seaport is indeed nice (super fancy and expensive), Charles river too. I don't like the common. Back Bay is not bad, but Newbury street is overrated and expensive. (although it has a few gems). The downtown crossing area sucks. Quincy market too. North end has good Italian restaurants. Driving in the city and parking is really bad (which bothers me more as a pedestrian). It's not a pretty urban city compared to Chicago or most European cities of similar size.

Overall, as someone who lives in the suburbs of Boston, it's nice to visit every once in a while, but that's about it.

Yes, to get more range you need more batteries, and those increase your weight meaning you need more batteries. But those increase your weight, so you need even more batteries. The tyranny of the rocket equation.

Not really specific to this dual-chemistry though, the same holds true for normal EVs and for gasoline-powered cars.
It's worse than that. As far as I am aware, the real problem with Optane is manufacturing cost, and lack of scaling up. So even if you have the patent rights, you probably still can't make it.
