If your BIOS allows it. Some don't, or if you disable Secure Boot you lose other motherboard features. My home server is an ASUS motherboard that loses Intel integrated graphics without UEFI, which makes installing an OS awkward. https://www.reddit.com/r/ASUS/comments/s68b25/psa_enabling_l...

IMO, it's unexceptional but adequate coffee rather than bad coffee.

In an office setting, I often want a warm mug of something caffeinated and vaguely coffee-flavored, with little ceremony or fuss. Keurig delivers well against that bar.
What are some of those greater needs that are not being met?
Close to memory leaks, but not exactly: memory fragmentation. Unlike runtimes with managed memory such as JVM, Rust apps cannot take a pause and defragment the memory heap, which depending on frequency and sizes of allocations sooner or later will lead to your app taking up a huge chunk of memory and not using it efficiently.
Terrible UI. I found two example functions (call them `f` and `g`), found the dropdown to change the input type of `f` from "string" to "function call", and even manage to get `g` suggested when I enter it's unique identifier - but cannot set up any configuration to compute `f(g(x))` (even after exhaustively trying all options).

It seems like it should be a core functionality of such a project to easily set up complex computations as function compositions.
Hey, big fan of your work. Keep up the great work.
I just made a very cursory look into this, but this is possibly that a Group Policy default that has changed to a different setting in Windows 11 than it had been in previous versions of Windows.

It absolutely does work if you disable UAC via Group Policy, but disabling UAC in my opinion is much a step too far as that loosens security in too many areas and would greatly increase Windows 11's attack surface.

I'll open an issue to investigate trying to identify the Group Policy setting to change to specifically re-enable this behavior without disabling UAC. Be advised that it'll be a few weeks as I'll be waiting until the January patch to drop (should be January 9th, 2024) for me to test prior to the January 2024 update to the guide.

> The Scandinavian countries are capitalist democracies not dictatorships.

Appointing a new CEO of a state-owned company and telling him what to do is hardly a 'dictatorship'. Maybe if it was a public broadcaster and the government made editorial decisions.

My country also has a national Post Office which is a joint stock company and the state 'only' owns all of the shares. It is still definitely a public institution.

On an unrelated note, what syntax highlighting theme did you use for the code? I love it.
same for nespresso cups, it literally only has downsides. stale coffee, dead foam, waste of the cup, but even more insane if you think of all the shipping and production that needs to be done. They dont even get to the proper extraction temperature/pressure.

i bought a sage barista express and its literally the best thing i've bought in the last 4 years. Making a good cup of coffee takes around 3/4 minutes if you take the milk foaming into account. Shorter if you do espresssos. Takes a bit of practice though, < 2 weeks .
This is a poor plagiarism of a much more detailed Wired article https://www.wired.com/story/openai-buy-ai-chips-startup-sam-... which is also much clearer than OP about what parts would raise concerns: Rain touting the Altman connection heavily despite its minimal results and apparent inability to convince anyone else to so much as write a letter of intent, and the highly unusual divestment orders suggesting some very unsavory connections, which get added to the big pile of other concerns about Altman.

> You're absolutely incorrect about this.

No, not absolutely.

I presume you are operating under the assumption that most bulk email comes from the big providers like AWS and MailChimp (who in fact uses on SendGrid underneath). And yes, under those circumstances you are correct. Those big firms whose day job is sending "spam" have a huge incentive to ensure you don't outright reject the spam - if they don't the reputation of the IP Address ranges they are sending from get trashed. For example, they go to the trouble of wrapping every link in the email with a redirect via them, so they can monitor what emails from them you are engaging with.

But I have some news for you - the vast bulk of spam does not come from them. Maybe you aren't aware of that because you use an email provider like GMail or Outlook. They stop most of this other spam (which is how we get to the headline). But nonetheless it's there, and if it does sneak through and you click on the unsubscribe link you no only won't be unsubscribed, you confirming your a real human will ensure you will be subscribed to many spam emails.

I've had lots of hopes for Framework products too - smaller motherboards for possible tablets, a Khadas Mind-type connector like what you're describing, a nicer 13" display like the current 16" one, heck ideally even a Framework phone - modular and _modern_ (unlike Fairphone; also see: small android phone project). But I think given how young/new they are, it's fine for them to take a little longer as long as their "core" products are at least comparable/as good as competition (which I think they are excluding costs).
Sundar's comments about Google doing AI (really ML) are based more on things that people externally know very little about. Systems like SETI, Sibyl, RePhil, SmartASS. These were all production ML systems that used fairly straightforward and conventional ML combined with innovative distributed computing and large-scale infrastructure to grow Google's product usage significantly over the past 20 years.

For example here's a paper 10 years old now: https://static.googleusercontent.com/media/research.google.c... and another close to 10 years old now: https://research.google/pubs/pub43146/
The learning they expose in those papers came from the previous 10 years of operating SmartASS.

However, SmartASS and sibyl weren't really what external ML people wanted- it was just fairly boring "increase watch time by identifying what videos people wioll click on" and "increase mobile app installs" or "show the ads people are likely to click on".

It really wasn't until vincent vanhoucke stuffed a bunch of GPUs into a desktop and demonstrated scalable and dean/ng built their cat detector NN that google started being really active in deep learning. That was around 2010-2012.

That's why I'm always wary of people who hardly ever seem to stay anywhere more than a couple of years.

There's valuable learning (and empathy too) in having to see your own decisions and creations through their whole lifecycle. Understanding how tech debt comes to be, what tradeoffs were involved and how they came to bite later. Which ideas turned out to be bad in hindsight through the lens of the people making them at the time.

Rather than just painting the previous crowd as incompetent while simultaneously making worse decisions you'll never experience the consequences of.

Moving on every 18-24 months leaves you with a potentially false impression of your own skills/wisdom.

Joking aside, those countries have a very sensible policy.

While multi-citizenship may offer some benefits, it also results in numerous problems, too. We see these problems in Canada far too often, for example.

One issue is the Canadian-of-convenience problem. This involves people who have Canadian citizenship and some other citizenship, but spend all of their time outside of Canada, often for years or even decades at a time. Despite having no real ties to Canada, and despite not paying Canadian taxes, these individuals will flee back to Canada, possibly at the expense of Canadian taxpayers, if they face difficulties (such as a war breaking out) in the foreign nation where they actually live.

The opposite of that can happen, too, where foreign citizenship might be used to help somebody avoid criminal prosecution for crimes they committed in Canada.

Birth tourism is another problem.

Multiple citizenship also exposes people in Canada to a greater risk of foreign influence and foreign interference. This is especially true for politicians, and it certainly raises questions about where their loyalty may rest.

It also results in disruption in Canada due to foreign conflicts or disagreements (often ones that are happening on literally the opposite side of the world and don't otherwise involve Canada in any way) spilling over into Canada. Pretty much every international conflict leads to disruptive protests in Canada's major cities, for example. Sometimes these foreign issues can even start affecting Canadian elections.

With maybe the exception of Canadian-US dual citizenship, due to the proximity and close ties between the two nations, Canada should do away with multi-citizenship completely.

Something... something... Streisand... something
They make those re-usable K cups, which I've never used and can't speak to how well they function or reduce waste. But I suppose they were never as popular to buy and use because then you have to do all of the things about making coffee that make it less desirable than just dropping by Dunkin Donuts on the way to work.
I'm not a practicing Christian, but I listen to semi religious talks sometimes. I have almost never ever heard a thoughtful person blame God, nor even say he has any sway at all. Maybe on sugar coated pop religion channels, sure. But not from anyone serious about study and thought about the books or God.

I haven't spoken to a priest in 20 years, and that's mostly because I'm afraid of just how keen they are on "this is your fault/responsibility". They wouldn't blame anything on God IMO, but if they did, they would be very clear that the reaction to the problems is 100% on you.

Even to me, as a tech person, the level of SEO allowed to infiltrate google results seems way out of proportion to what they should allow. There are several obvious URLs that always come up with "top 10 lists" that seem wholly designed for SEO referral links for any type of recommendation you might be looking for. There's a reason everyone just ignores google and adds "reddit.com" to certain searches now to get real results.

Why is the popularity baffling? Nespresso had already been around for over a decade, and at the time the Keurig came to be, was making inroads to the consumer space. Granted this wasn't in the US market, but still there was precedent for a similar concept gaining consumer traction.

Also the article does a massive disservice to Sylvan, making it sound like he was an employee. He was primary founder of Keurig that divested shortly before it went to market.

The multimodal capabilities are, but the tone and insight comes across as very juvenile compared to the SotA models.

I suspect this was a fine tuning choice and not an in context level choice, which would be unfortunate.

If I was evaluating models to incorporate into an enterprise deployment, "creepy soulless toddler" isn't very high up on the list of desired branding characteristics for that model. Arguably I'd even have preferred histrionic Sydney over this, whereas "sophisticated, upbeat, and polite" would be the gold standard.

While the technical capabilities come across as very sophisticated, the language of the responses themselves do not at all.

It took me about halfway into the little-too-cleverly titled article to figure out that the author meant simply food joints that are attached to gas stations and not some unique schtik I had never heard of where they fill your tank while you eat. In any event I don’t really think about these places that much, aside to be surprised when really good food comes out of them.

In North Austin there is a Rudy’s + Shell that is more Rudy’s than Shell, to the point where if you are filling up there it even feels a little kitschy. Rudy’s is not the best BBQ in Austin by a long shot but they are at least respectable for the price in Austinites eyes, at least until they sold out a few years ago.

Further down south in Austin there is some place slinging damn good pizzas out of a window in a gas station. I think it’s called Luigi’s. I haven’t tried it but have heard others rave about it.
Hi - the guy who wrote the blog speaking here - I'm the General Manager for Quad9. You're right - this was done by the team a bit too hastily. However, the document is public as a court filing, try to be as cautious as possible with people's names in online filings. We wanted to keep the PDF as intact as possible so people could cut/paste other parts of it for reference without having to dig up the actual document from the courts, or having to do error-prone OCR work on a PNG.

Interestingly, one of the things I didn't need to see redacted was the name of the domain itself - we publish that in the blog post text. Previously, we'd blocked it out of previous documents in an abundance of caution so that we could not be accused of promotion of the site by an obtuse mis-reading of intention. Everyone here has been working nonstop on this case for a long time, and we'll try to fix this tomorrow after some sleep.

Is it crazy to think that there should be some kind of governmental review process for _new_ products that generate tons of plastic waste? I'm imagining a consumer product version of the FDA. They'd look at something like Keurig and argue that maybe home and office coffee production is solved problem and maybe we don't need this new "innovation."

I understand that people have strong feelings about government in general so maybe some other process?
Hotswappable PCIE is really hard to do right, especially if you are using a non-standard connector. You have to guarantee that pins connect and disconnect in the right order or you risk damaging equipment.

And on top of that, while a connector might be perfectly safe with cold swap (i.e. power off), you can damage the connector if the circuit is completed and power starts flowing but you only have partial contact.

So it was probably preferable to just release a coldswap versions and try dabbling with a hotswap capable chassis in the future.
Agree, it's a serious vulnerability, but it's not exploitable remotely.

Gemini Pro fails the famous 6 sisters vs. 1 sister test
I went down a bit of a rabbit hole on something related. My cousin found a mechanical pencil (in my recently deceased uncles desk) with my late father's name on it. My father's been gone for nearly 60 years so this pencil went way back. I managed to make out some writing on the cap so I took a picture of it (my method of magnifying things otherwise too small to identify) and made out the brand "Autopoint." I did a little digging along the way and discovered that Autopoint was owned by Bakelite and indeed, it looks like the barrel of the pencil is made from Bakelite. I also read that Autopoint used to make promotional items. Since my father was working as an engineer at a manufacturer that probably used Bakelite in some of their products, I speculate that this was a promotional item that Autopoint provided to engineers (and probably buyers) at the company to pump their product. (We also got tubular collapsing fiberglass fishing poles since they used fiberglass tubes for some of their products.)

Along the way I discovered that there is a Reddit devoted to mechanical pencils and they were happy to hear this story. And even happier to see that the pencil was well used.
I wouldn't say it's replaced search for me (Kagi in my case) but for anything where I'm looking for an answer with a bit of background ChatGPT takes the cake. It completely removes the need for me to click through to multiple websites and sum it up myself manually.

In the same way google/search made it possible to answer a question in real-time in a group of friends, ChatGPT does that but better in most cases. Yes, you have to deal with hallucinations and while they happen less often they do happen but you have to deal with crap in web searches as well.

Search is a super-power (most people suck at searching) and being able to grab information via ChatGPT feels very similar.

If it's persistent, it's not going to be blind for long.

if its mutable, and multiple of these IDs map to the same physical address, that will be an even bigger adventure for the carriers delivering the mail. Possibly the big regional sorting facilities that do the barcodes will be adding "real" address labels to provide that mapping? Only think I can think of immediately that might work.

We think alike in many ways! I'd like to respond to some of your points.

> * Class Inheritance is an anti-pattern.

Just say no to classes. Period.

> * Python is an anti-pattern.

Yes.

> * The 80/20 of functional programming is use pure functions and acknowledge that everything is a list or an operation on a list.

Yes, though pure functions are way more important.

> * GraphQL is better than REST when you have multiple clients, codegen or any AI/RAG needs

While GraphQL and RPC are better in a lot of ways, I'd propose that none of these forms of API are always necessary, and that there's nothing wrong with simply having a single endpoint that receives a POST request with some arbitrary data that responds with arbitrary data. People speak as if you must at least use REST, but that is not true, and REST probably should be avoided unless it's somehow called for.
> But no, they cannot levy fines or put you in jail.

Those are the consequences that matter. I don't care if Microsoft or Google decide they don't want to be friends with me. They'd stab me in the back to steal my personal data anyway.

one of the biggest losses with commuting is the amount of housework that then doesn't get done. A half hour commute one way is an hour of my life I spend sitting every day. I would gladly spend half an hour a day cleaning house etc. if it meant I had a spare half hour to do fun things, instead I get home with just enough time to eat, shower, watch an episode of something and sleep. That's the real killer to mental health I think. You come home to a house with chores piling up, so things don't feel like a home, and you cannot find the willpower (after some time) to continue doing those chores at the expense of free time.

Right, but the only punishment for failing to comply is reprimand and delay at the entrance while trying to verify citizenship. The latest publicly available CBP Inspector's Field manual is unequivocal that if the Inspector is convinced the entrant is an American citizen they cannot stop them from entering.

The law really exists as a way to avoid delays at entry as a US citizen having a valid US passport can be processed in much faster than one who does not, and it minimizes the risk of being stuck with an immigration agent that does not belive your claims of being an American citizen due to lacking convincing records and documents.

American Citizens are not the only ones with an unequivocal right to enter. American Indians born in Canada who have are at least 50% American Indian by blood "cannot be denied admission to the United States". They are required to prove to the inspector that they meet this criteria, but if they do, they don't need a passport or anything. (But they probably needed some documents to convince the inspector of their status as a 50%+ native born in Canada.)
