Right, from this article: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/27/world/europe/eurostar-bre...

The main difference is that pre-2021 UK travellers simply had to show travel documents whereas now they have to get them stamped.

On the surface, it isn't clear to me why that makes much of a difference in service time, but the CEO of Eurostar pointed a finger to these changes in January: https://www.bbc.com/news/business-64390979, claiming their trains carry 30% fewer passengers due to station bottlenecks.

And yes, they claim the EES checks should help speed this bottleneck.
Possibly the same breach discussed here [1].

One of my "some day", "probably way more effort than I want to spend" projects would be to create a 40-ish-pin DIP module that contains a RV32 core and has a 6502-like pinout so you can build small homebrew computers that use the RV32 ISA. There are a ton of comporomises that would have to be made, but that's part of the fun.

Most of the small RV32 microcontrollers have a low pin count lots of on-board devices, and it's not as straightforward as gluing together a CPU, RAM, ROM, and some IO devices on a breadboard.

Basically, an answer to the questopn "how would a breadboard computer built in 1977 look if the RV32 ISA existed?"

OWNERS always made sense to me, but the readability stuff at Google I found just... pointless productivity destroyer. I can't understand why they've kept it. In fact they made it far far worse with the incremental process.

With the crazy interview process, the copious static analysis and formatting tools and style guides + style enforcement tools, and with OWNERS and team members reviewing things... what is even the point? What are they actually checking for?

Back when I started there, I got my C++ readability quite easily with just a month wait or so. Then I briefly worked with a bit of Go, and encountered my first taste of the incremental process, and it.. sucked. When they rolled out incremental readability, I never bothered with any other languages.

Luckily, later, I ended up working in the Chromium tree which required no such readability status.
GeneratedField looks interesting, but I'm not _really_ sure what gains I get over just calling annotate() on my queryset with some computed fields. At least on the backends where the computed GeneratedField isn't stored.
Workers in the US are routinely and in large numbers thrown under the bus by their corporations in search of profit. Many don't have paid paternal/maternal leave, low or no vacation days, not all employers cover medical costs, and you can be fired more or less on the spot. Now this treatment simply is getting extended to the previously privileged "laptop class". Spotify is an example of the rare EU "unicorn", it's just sad to see that it is managed the American way.

In Europe even fast food workers or servers/waiters are paid a reasonable salary and have vacation days and their medical costs covered by their employer. Also, labor laws in Europe are much stricter and it's harder for a company to fire their workers so easily. Just see what the unionized Tesla workers are doing in Sweden. In terms of worker rights and job security, US simply doesn't compare to Europe.

It's good that at the very least the laid off workers in Sweden will get unemployment benefits from the government, in addition to the severance Spotify pays them. I believe it's something that amounts to monthly payments equal to 70-80% of their salary for at least 400 days. That, hopefully, will ensure that they have plenty of time and opportunity to find something else.
Augmenting RAG with agents to get better code search performance
Everywhere? This is the first I've heard of customs checks on trains in Europe at the point of disembarkation. I've been on plenty of cross-border trains where police walk the length of the train and check everyone's passport once it's over the border.

Why would failing a customs check cause you to be kicked off the train? Either your goods will be confiscated, or you'll be arrested etc.
Such an amazing tool

Your argument is a straw-man. You're conflating taking inspiration from something and adopting it verbatim (your first two examples are particularly hilarious in this regard). Also i've yet to find a compelling argument defending that western capitalism is a necessity for high-tech (you second two examples). In particular schools, academia and software are fields where not commercial-centric relationships are thriving and deemed superior by a fair share of practitioners.
There is a package, https://github.com/carltongibson/django-template-partials, that is basically like server-side hx-select, when there is some performance concern. Overall, I agree with you though, hx-select is going to be fine most the time.

It's a precision illusion. Obviously there's no actual a 100 (or, technically, 101) levels of lovemaking skill that the rater is able to recognize and meaningfully distinguish. However, having a 6.5 seems like it was well considered and thought of in detail while just 6 looks like sloppy "barely better than absolutely mediocre". So, the person using 6.5 is pretending (unwarrantedly) to be very knowledgeable and precise in these evaluations. This is, btw, a very realistic part - a lot of people do this in real-life contexts, much different from rating girlfriends.

International trains don't just connect the cities at both ends; they connect hubs from where you can travel onwards as well. Besides, the idea is not to discourage tourism completely, just to limit it to sensible levels. For the tourists that do come promoting train travel is very much part of the broader green ambitions in Europe.

Besides, those stag-party and hen-do lads and ladettes come packed in short haul EastJet flights.

On the other hand, I have a Grimm's Fairy Tales including a story that tells how the hero visits a petty king's court and receives a promise conditional on accomplishing something impossible. Off he goes and does the thing, and the narrator makes an aside saying "Now the king would gladly have blown off the promise, but he was trapped because other people in the court had heard him make it."
I take a train with on-train checks about twice per year. I've seen people sneak past, personally, several times in the past ten years, which implies that they're harder to carry out than if people have to walk through a staffed gate.

Ths UK has this minister who seems to really really really really really not want people sneaking into the UK, not even if it's a handful per year.

Sure. They're exactly the same argument, except that they're totally different. (Andy Rooney is wrong, anyway, if that's really his position. Smartphones are still phones. He's not making a good semantic argument.)

> Who cares?

Anyone who wants to listen to a podcast and then finds out they can't because it's not really a podcast—that people are just throwing the word "podcast" around like it means "audio, uh... interview? on a phone? or a laptop, too, I guess?".

> this is a non-starter as the big 3 record companies are also investors in the company.

The big 3 record companies have negligible investments in Spotify:

https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/SPOT/holders/

Even if they did have a non negligible interest in Spotify, that is not the reason it is a non starter. It is a nonstarter because everyone wants to listen to music owned by the big 3 record companies.

Insufficient people are going to be interested in paying for a music streaming service without Michael Jackson, Sinatra, and a whole bunch of other big names and old songs that span decades. And people want to listen to music on demand, and repetitively. People are not going to be signing up for 1 month at a time like video streaming businesses, because people do not consume music the same way as video.

It is very good and useful to actually ignore a reasonable question and engage in any discussion they might contradict your way of thinking and instead point and yell at things that literally aren’t representative of what was posed.

What a joke. It didn’t used to be this way in the US and we weren’t North Korea then, but okay. Point at a bogeyman and accept the status quo (to the benefit of those with unimaginable wealth by the way, of which they aren’t going to give you any for defending them.) instead of I considering how to make a world where things are better for everyone.

Strongly agree, and I am sure the resemblance is conscious. Unfortunately, most people don't know or care about software freedom. So for a general audience, Schneier has to make these points from scratch. But yeah, it would be nice if this push for regulation happened in a way that was compatible with strengthening software freedom as well.

It's still done even within Schengen, e.g. last year I took an overnight train from Vienna to Amsterdam, a trip entirely within Schengen.

Not a large site, but I used django-ninja in production for internal tooling at a very large game dev/publishing company. The APIs routinely handle 1000s of calls (via an integration with Dagster) for moving large amounts of data around and into a reporting system. It's rock solid and fast. I'm on v0.22 however and need to do some refactoring to move to 1.0 because of changes to the integration with Pydantic.

It is so easy to set up and use and it's at worth giving it a spin if you're curious.
They are not suggesting hazing. I don't doubt that you experienced hazing. Being vigilant with new hires to assure assignment on code quality and design is not hazing though.

If someone has legitimate concerns about the design decisions made, then they should voice them. However if they are refusing to adhere to guidelines, simply because they dislike the approach then that's being overly problematic.
Some people won't understand error bars. Given that we evolved from apes and that there's a distribution of intelligences, skill sets, and interests across all walks of society, I don't place blame on anyone. We're just messy as a species. It'll be okay. Everything is mostly working out.

I always thought the eurostar was a great demonstration how not to do it.

Shitty trains (compared to e.g. the ICE, TGV or Thalys), the stupid border control/security requirements with huge queues which meant you had to be there >45min early, they even mimicked lounges from airline travel. It's like because they wanted to compete with air travel across the channel, they thought "how can we make train travel the most like air travel" adopting most of the stupid things. I half expect them to build a separate train station next, somewhere in the middle of nowhere with extra expensive public transport connections.
3 times is crazy. 3 times in one year is absolute insanity. I'd simply apply to a new university if I had a shred of interest left after that.
The chances of creators beating Big Tech on this one? Zero.

Just see how the incentives are aligned. If the creators win, Big Tech has to pay millions/billions to them and reduce their profit margins. If creators lose, Big Tech can provide even more money to political donations.

This said, even if this wasn't the case, I don't think creators have the moral/legal standing to win even if the decision was entirely fair given many arguments discussed on HN and elsewhere.
That is a nice idea! The tricky part is going to be how to integrate animations without having to rebuild the entire mesh every frame... Though, I think it would be very easy to export a skeleton from the generator and then use that to animate the plant.
Ideology has already prevailed. They refused to let the Gab app on FDroid because they allow "things like racism, sexism, verbal abuse, violent nationalist propaganda, discrimination against gender and sexual minorities, antisemitism and a lot more things".

Interestingly enough they allow 4Chan apps which has all of those things. It is almost as though they are opposed to Gab specifically not against those things and were just coming up with an excuse and hoped nobody saw their double standards.
Pretty low it seems. Occasionally I get obviously bad suggestions that are easy to ignore.

I have three years of work experience in Machine Learning with most of that time spent working with different Computer Vision models, from Segmentation (U-Net) to Generative Models ( Pix2Pix, FastGAN). I have solid foundation in applied linear algebra, multivariate calculus, classical machine learning, deep learning, and reinforcement learning. Additionally, I have an engineering background from my time at Amazon and know about the challenges with distributing and deploying ML models at scale.

I have recently joined the MedARC group as a volunteer researcher to collaborate on diffusion models and neuroimaging.

I would appreciate any opportunities in ML/AI especially within the fields of Computer Vision and Reinforcement Learning.
I think to be fair some of it was also due to stuff done in the early days of figuring commercial power out; but that was a long time ago. Sellafield has taught a lot of people what's needed to do it properly.
Django Ninja has always looked beautiful. I've been toying with it since it was first announced, never pushed it to production tho. I've been thinking of spinning up a cluster just to dark launch it with calls from my main app to see how it performs.
These elite institutions have shown themselves to have absolutely no credibility on independence, freedom of expression or any of the other virtues they continaully extol after their actions of the last 2 months [1][2].

Take a look over the law faculty and you'll find famed Jeffrey Epstein defender and hospitality enjoyer Alan Dershowtiz [3] but it's OK, he kept his underwear on while getting a massage [4].

Epstein himself bought influence at Harvard and even had his own office there [5].

As for the whistleblower claims, they might be true. I wouldn't be surprised. Never forget though that you're only hearing one side. Would Mark Zuckerberg really spend $500 million to silence a study where the researcher could no doubt walk out and find someone to fund it without too much trouble?

The biggest part of a smooth code review process are the human behaviors and best practices. There are a half dozen code review tools that work just fine. Both the submitter and reviewers have important roles which make the process work smoothly: small reviews, 80% of reviews should just be "LGTM", avoid nitpicking, code reviews have higher priority than your own development, etc.. Really, if you have good code development guidelines, and good developers, that solves most of the review issues. The high order bit is knowing that every piece of code will be reviewed. Any good programmer who knows their code will be reviewed avoids doing bad stuff.
Costs.

There are many reasons to secure logins with passkeys, but all of those reasons seem to be beaten by the costs of rolling it out. After all, breaches are someone else's problem. The company? They get a pittance fine, then carry on.

But Google and Facebook did cut earlier this year?
I think you're kind of right. The thing about Spotify is that my initial reaction was "it's about damn time". It's not like it was technical innovative. Everything needed to make it had been around for at least a decade, they just had to get all the legal stuff figured out first.
I like you. We'd get along.
Thanks. 1,000s of calls a second/minute/day?
I'm just trying to understand why on earth you wrote "gang up" here.

The corporation has an HR department. Usually, this consists of more than one person.
The corporation has a hell of a lot more money, legal resources, (money is speech, my friend) and so on than you do.
Why isn't it obvious... the most natural thing in the world... That you would also want more than just you on your side?

This is like saying "why did you join an army instead of just fighting the bad guys single-handed?"

I must be missing something here, because you said this and everybody just went along with it like "oh yeah why would we do that? when this seems like asking "Why did you start a company with your friend to gang up on that new project you guys were talking about instead of just doing it yourself?"
Totally, completely confused.
correct. It's generally not feasible to shade such a large area over water.
But evaporation does take its toll on reservoir water.
There was a proposal not long ago to shade the canal carrying water from Northern California to Southern California. Reducing evaporation was one of the touted benefits[1].

A study by the University of California, Merced gives a boost to the idea, estimating that 63 billion gallons of
water could be saved by covering California’s 4,000 miles of canals with solar panels that could also generate 13
gigawatts of power.

So? What are you saying?
All you really need is a decent built-in JSON de/serializer for Django models. It doesn't need to be an OOP monstrosity.

Golang has that built-in to what is a simpler language than Python (e.g. no class inheritance).

The complexity of DRF greatly oversteps what it is offering.
I wish the FEM ecosystem was a little more mature in Julia (particularly weak forms, their derivatives, and assembly). I'm confident about rewriting the other pieces of my research, but it took me a long time to be happy with FEniCS, and I'm not entirely sure if going through the same with Gridap is worthwhile. Despite being fairly happy with Python, I've used a lot of Julia before settling into this field and would be happy to use it again.
Deezer is a completely mistery to me. I'm asking: What does Deezer really have? They don't own the music. They don't own podcasts (OK, they may have some exclusives). All they have is a license, a bit of software, and lots of users. How will they ever turn a profit? What's the end game here?
I just switched my whole family from Deezer to tidal and it was literally a matter of minutes. There are even services that move all your favorites/playlists over and it worked flawlessly.
