It’s not integrated well into the UI and thus a big hassle to use. Much easier to just checkout the branch and create a commit (or just write a comment…)
The fact that your and my interpretation of the modal meaning of "from the river to the sea" when chanted by American college students is so divergent points to the problem with "assuming the worst."

I agree that the phrase is poisonous, but I don't ascribe genocidal intent to the hypothetical modal speaker of it without knowing exactly who that speaker is. Consider it from a Bayesian standpoint: even if you test positive for a rare condition, the likelihood is overwhelming that the positive is a result of test error, and not actually having the underlying condition. Supporting genocide is exceedingly rare, thus is it not likely that someone who uses the phrase "from the river to the sea" should have the worst assumed about them. Perhaps your prior belief is different, and you think that support for genocide is common?
It's pretty easy actually: If a product has more creepy usages than that it has contrived good usages you should probably err on the side of caution.
Why?

It's unsafe and it takes all the choice and control away from you.

You should, instead:

1) Build a local copy of llama.cpp (literally clone https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp and run 'make').

2) Download the model version you actually want from hugging face (for example, from https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1-GGU..., with the clearly indicated required RAM for each variant)

3) Run the model yourself.

I'll say this explicitly: these llamafile things are stupid.

You should not download arbitrary user uploaded binary executables and run them on your local laptop.

Hugging face may do it's best to prevent people from taking advantage of this (heck, they literally invented safetensors), but long story short: we can't have nice things because people suck.

If you start downloading random executables from the internet and running them, you will regret it.

Just spend the extra 5 minutes to build llama.cpp yourself. It's very, very easy to do and many guides already exist for doing exactly that.
Amazon doesn't need, or, rather, shouldn't need laws in order to do the right thing.
The standard answer is to prevent the crime that happens in bathrooms: drug use, rapes, bullying, et cetera.

But that's a BS answer IMO. If you actually want to prevent the crime, the criminals have to know the surveillance is there. Make the cameras visible, or take the doors off the bathroom stalls[1]. People will be outraged at that; but hidden surveillance is even worse.

Most banks do offer APIs due to various regulations [0], but they don't have to offer these APIs to end users, just to other (regulated and certified) companies. Also the output format can be a wild west. Therefore there is not much practical choice other than to use Plaid, Nordigen, Basiq, etc. Afaik European PSD3 wants to address these 2 issues [1], but it will probably take 3+ years before it gets into effect.

TL/DR, with all the weird "little slice people" references removed:

You ask the co-founder nicely: give them two warnings, and then ask them to resign if they don't improve. But if they refuse, you leave the company yourself.

(You can also read the book author advertises so you don't have to feel bad about asking cofounder to leave, or leaving the company if they refuse)
I work in the Rails world, and perhaps my perception is colored by the big changes they tend to make, but this seems like more of a minor than a major version release? Or is this relatively big for Django?
Down with the rich and all, yes I agree, but don't most people, regardless of their economic status, need some type of bench top (or countertop, as us Yanks call them)? Seems like this is saying that there's no good stone or "stone" alternative.

I previously made a single-page EPUB reader using a similar technique with GDrive: https://h5reader.azurewebsites.net/ (that one does not work with 3rd party cookies disabled though because it uses iframe to login instead of redirects, and I never bothered to update it).
That link doesn't mention anything about it being a "bathroom spy camera".

It was sold as a nanny cam which is really a legitimate, if slightly distasteful, function. There is an image of it shown with towels on the hook, but it isn't stated or implied that it should be used to spy on people as they use the bathroom.

I'm a big fan of holding tech companies to the same standards as other industries, but not a big fan of holding them to unreasonably high standards.

But "poor planning" is inevitable in business. It cannot be completely avoided or accounted for. What should a business do that has planned poorly if it needs to cut costs?
Agreed. The issue is that for the past few years ONLY urban people have been receiving assistance.

I think you're saying this sarcastically, but every Kubernetes component except the kubelet already can, and usually does in most distros, run as a Pod managed by Kubernetes itself. Edit the manifest, systemctl restart kubelet, and there you go, you just upgraded. Other than kube-proxy, which has a dependency on iptables, I don't even think any other component has any external dependencies, and the distroless containers they run in are pretty close to scratch. Running them in Pods is more for convenience than dependency management.

The actual issue that needs to be addressed when upgrading is API deprecations and incompatibility. For better or worse, when people try to analogize this to the way Red Hat or Debian works, Kubernetes is not Linux. It may not always perfectly achieve the goal, but Linux development operates on the strict rule that no changes can ever break userspace. Kubernetes, in contrast, flat out tells you that generally available APIs will stay available, but if you use beta or alpha APIs, those may or may not exist in future releases. Use them at your own peril. In practice, this has meant virtually every cluster in existence and virtually every cluster management tool created by third parties, uses at least beta APIs. Nobody heeded the warning. So upgrades break stuff all the time.

Should they have not ever released beta APIs at all? Maybe. They actually did start turning them off by default a few releases back, but the cultural norms are already there now. Everybody just turns them back on so Prometheus and cert-manager and Istio and what not will continue working.

> you suddenly read a comment

That phrase is hiding the real issue: on the internet, people engage with what they want to, and ignore what they want to. Attention, respect, engagement don't result from 'suddenly reading a comment'.

When there was only establishment newspapers and media they presented (what they considered) a balanced and responsible view. Now they've lost control of information and communication. Journalists dug deep to find a problem with the internet, and landed on 'the bubble'. The bubble is when people lack a balanced and responsible view...

There is just enough truth to 'the bubble' to keep the idea alive. On the internet it's easy to find radical information, and restrict your information sources to what you want. Back when everyone read the newspaper it kept public discussion narrowly focused [1]. Now we have lots of people who 'do their own research' and hold radical views. Also, the views that were suppressed under the establishment media are public and accessible to everyone.

There have always been people who live in their own little world, or bubble, but now it's much larger number. From the view of companies and social establishments that controlled the news this is a huge problem. From my view of society, I now sympathize with the US being a republic rather than a pure democracy, and I never thought that would happen.

Russia is also Europe, in the traditional sense. Before the Cold War, this was never in doubt. The ruler was literally a "Caesar", elites spoke French and German, holidayed on the French Riviera, and bickered with other European powers in the Great Game.

Its pretty weird to claim that this is a big lock-in risk when both of the major players are not supporting attestation certificates for consumer use cases.

And the one well known site (vanguard) that was requiring an attestation certificate no longer does.
Yeah, stacked orders are a joke. From DD-related subreddits, it seems the algo typically bundles low tip orders with higher tipping orders. This is so the low tippers finally get their stuff delivered because no one else was taking it individually.

It's a common trope in grey markets.

Not sure to what extent this is still the case, but when I was messing around with greyzone drugs about a decade ago, they tended to be sold on technically legal, UK, Swedish, Polish etc web stores. They'd have names similar to illegal drugs they were analogues of and like descriptions of the effects. But have the disclaimer "not for human consumption. Research purposes only".

Of course even the purportedly pure chemical products were unsuitable for actual research or standards use due to lack of attestation to purity(at least with most vendors) and so on.

It didn't affect the legality, probably just a weak attempt to avoid potential liability.
> ... and then realize with a horrible feeling that some % of those hits are getting through the login page.

(Non sarcastic), why would you feel bad for users using 1234 as their passwords? Unless your website is aimed at vulnerable people, I consider this to be their responsibility.

As other comments have said these users will probably go the easiest route (1234websitename) to fix the error.

Any restriction you put on your password field reduces entropy, and safety for everyone (even if marginally so).
Yeah I thought the quote in the article claiming there were "legitimate and legal uses" was odd. They said "like in-home surveillance" but... why do you need to surveil your bathroom? What legal purpose does that serve? Maybe a way to film burglars while they don't know they're being filmed? But isn't part of the reason security surveillance works is visible cameras making people do the "right thing" or whatever. The quote was so weird. I don't see any legitimate use that doesn't have a pretty easy contradiction.
They also don't usually advertise that their guns are the ideal pick for a school shooting.
It seems quite reasonable to assume that the way to go is preventing people from breathing in ground-up countertops instead of trying to make countertops that would magically be healthy to inhale.
Uh, yes, eBay does actually police the items sold on their platforms.

Sort of? Even as a college student, getting crappy pizza delivered at midnight on a cold night versus walking 15 minutes to pick it up ourselves was some definition of luxury.
Another commenter posted the archive page. No comment on whether this "made it ok," but some of the other photos show the hooks being used in a different context, more like a nanny cam.

This one (https://web.archive.org/web/20231204210803/https://m.media-a...) shows hooks in what looks like a mudroom catching an image of a person in black clothing in a ski-mask, indicating a use case of the hook would be to surreptitiously record a thief.

On the archive, it is advertised as a "Hidden Clothes Hook Camera, Mini Spy Camera HD 1080P, Nanny Cam with Motion Detection, Wireless Security Camera for Home/Office/Pet Monitor, Video Recorder No WiFi Needed, No Audio" with no mention of it being a "bathroom spycam."
Safer alternatives to engineered stone countertops could include wooden butcher block, tile, stainless steel, etc.

It corresponds to the paper formulas as a courtesy. While descriptive comments or function signature might be nicer, it still is reasonably easy to follow along from the paper description! (Although, most of the complexity is hidden away in selective_scan_cuda.fwd())

I'm not sure I can agree with either of you.

I definitely don't agree with "thing I don't like should be illegal".

And I can't really agree with "People who sold something I don't like should be liable for it's use".

I think the "blame" for objects should lie in the people that misuse them. Now, obviously, it's a little hard to come up with legitimate reasons to have a towel hook camera. However... All you're asking for is smaller cameras.

To which we restart this whole thing with "These super small cameras should be illegal".
Looking at the photo of the product, it'd be substantially less sketchy to put it somewhere other than a bathroom for home security purposes. But I know a lot of people are sketched out by putting security cameras indoors, even in a living room or hallway. I've got lots of cameras on my perimeter but none inside the house.
> For reference, I grew up on NTSC screens (29.97 interlaced frames per second).

Considering it as 30 interlaced frames per second isn't really accurate. It's 60 fields per second. A lot of content intended for interlaced broadcast is not 30 fps broken into fields, it's 60 distinct half pictures per second.

Along with keeping the blade cool, a wet saw handles most of the dust problem too.
Depends on the markup. As a person who earns a decent wage I cannot afford to eat delivery food casually as the markup on a per item basis is steep. Even the good pizza place costs near me is $43 for a single large with 4 toppings, with delivery it is closer to $50.
Don't worry, I skimmed it and it mostly looks like clickbait anyway with no real substance worth noting.
Being Neurodivergent versus Disabled

You cannot possibly review this in one minute. You need a team of different experts and they need time to think. If you saw this for one minute before looking at this article you probably wouldn't think about this use case - even though it is obvious once someone points it out. So Amazon needs to show they gave the review team enough time to think about this type of thing.

Amazon might be able to get out of this if they can show the court a long enough checklist of things they did look for that this does pass. If that list is long enough (a term I specifically did not define!) they can argue they did due diligence, this is just different from everything they thought of and so it slipped threw the cracks. Of course the checklist better have a clear procedure for "something else not on this list" and a it needs to be clear anytime something not on the list is thought of that the process gets that new thing on the list. This is NOT easy or cheap.

Stainless steel has its own safety issues (hexavalent chromium exposure from welding or grinding)
I would expect that a shop that specializes in cutting countertops would have equipment to cut them with essentially no dust exposure. Water jets come to mind (and people even sell waterjet tools specifically designed for cutting countertops), but a CNC mill with good dust collection ought to be able to do the job pretty well, too.

So why is there so much dust exposure to begin with? Here's an article showing someone attacking a countertop with an angle grinder without dust collection at all:

https://www.ucsf.edu/news/2023/07/425871/deadly-dust-enginee...

Even a basic dust collector attached to that angle grinder (these are cheap!) should make a pretty big difference.
Different languages had different pools of readability reviewers, so the expectations varied, but readability reviews were generally constructive and helpful. I was thrilled to have Ian Taylor review my go code.

The non-readability reviewers were usually on your team, so there was social pressure in both directions. You wanted to learn and conform to the team's norms, and the reviewer couldn't be a total jerk about their comments. Everyone was generally on their best behavior.

One human can manage far more work via AI than without, which still leads to job loss. Even if a human is still needed in the loop to verify the output.

e.g. how much faster can a language translator work with AI driven translation as a first pass, and human editing afterwards?

Clearly fewer people are required. And this is how innovations tend to go... manual book copying -> printing press and so on
To my pleasant surprise, GPT-4 offered decent suggestions:

1. Zero-Based Budgeting: Instead of basing this year's budget on last year's spending, start from 'zero' each year. Evaluate each department's needs freshly.

2. Rolling Budgets: Allow for unspent funds to roll over into the next fiscal year, removing the incentive to spend just for the sake of it.

3. Quarterly Review: Don't allocate for a whole year. Break it into quarters and reassess needs regularly based on changes in environment or strategy.

4. Performance-Based Allocation: Link part of the budget to department performance metrics. Better performance leads to more budget.

5. Flexible Allocation: Have some funds allocated for urgent or emerging needs that arise over the year.
I'd expect Amazon product safety people to know what these are. Spycams have been widely advertised for decades, often overtly targeted specifically for use of spying on women.

I worked in this industry and I know for a fact that if you don't include tipping in the checkout flow, tips will drop precipitously. But if drivers are being paid $30/hr, it's fair to drop tipping altogether. I would love for the US to eschew tipping culture like other countries and just pay a wage that is transparent.
Wood shop dust isn't so great, either. But most (?) professional wood shops ought to have dust collection equipment.
If the number of reactor designs is equal to the number of reactors built IRL, then of course the historical data would fail to distinguish those factors.

I went and did looked up some stats from aviation, since that's an industry that would be able to distinguish them and operates in a comparable safety-and-reliability regime. Here's a graph of count of active Boeing 474s by year: https://www.iba.aero/insight/evolution-of-the-boeing-747-fle.... Pay attention to the bright blue showing the count of active hulls. Now compare that to the rate of 474 hull losses: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_747_hull_losses. Note that the rate of hull losses is basically flat - there were just about as many 474s lost in the 1970s, with only 200 hulls active, as there were in the 2000s with 1200 hulls active, and as there were in the 2010s with 600 hulls active. At worst logarithmic, and I wouldn't be surprised if that's the actual way that failures are probabilistically exposed by increased hull count. I also didn't do any work to exclude "ate a SAM" and other causes that are independent of the airframe. Either way, in a healthy, scaled-out fleet, failure rate is a function of the design much more than it is a function of the fleet size.
If I go into the photos app edit menu for a live photo, it allows me to scroll through the timeline and pick “make key photo” for any moment during the video. Maybe it’s lowering the res or something if I do that but from UI, it seems like I’m getting a photo captured from whenever.
