Cops cannot testify on your behalf, only against you.

Whereas in business, your public and private statements determine your entire company image.

Statements made by companies in public places cannot “only be held against them”. It’s completely different.

I've coded in rails for 7+ years. imho, its a dying language.

Better to learn Python, b/c if you want to do anything with ML, you have to use Python.
Another method of copyright laundering is doing ML learning in a country where it doesn't protected under copyright law.

Personally, I'm on a side of using copyrighted data for machine learning input source doesn't violate copyright. Statistically, learned model for generative Ai doesn't retain even 1 bit of input. It's hard to say NN model data infringe any copyright of the input source. The copyright is applied to the expression, not the process. If the generative AI produces an image that's clearly a copy of a specific Ironman image which existed before the image generation, that's copyright infringement.
> I posit 'Inconceivably Large Telescope' to be the maximum.

No, we can't stop just yet as they are – conceivably – other models that will eventually surpass the «Inconceivably Large Telescope»:

– «Penultimately Inconceivably Large Telescope»

– «Antepenultimately Inconceivably Large Telescope»

– «Preantepenultimately Inconceivably Large Telescope».

A strings of further upgrades is also likely as a series of «Inconceivably Ultra Large» and «Pre/ante/penultimately Inconceivably Ultra Large» telescopes.
I miss having on-demand cheap college cafeteria food. It's hard to find places that have the same slightly above average food for bargain prices.

IKEA's food is the closest I've found. Food courts at malls generally are no different from just going to a fast food place, which have all raised prices as of recently. Costco is cheap but their options/taste isn't great. I've been bumming off a friend's college meal plan recently and it's so good. Pizza, pasta, a few really good vegetarian options, same with the allergy-free section. If only I was allowed to pay what he pays for that food.
> except for an inverter for necessary 12v circuits

Nitpick: That's a DC-DC converter, not an inverter.
Mediocre coders fixate on algorithms. Great coders concentrate on data structures.

SQL schema creation and maintenance is all about choosing the right data structures for the job at hand.

If you neglect attention to your data structures, no algorithms will save you, and you really only have yourself to blame. It's a still to be learned and honed like any other.
How can you tell? Parenting isn’t exactly quantifiable.
Declining to give more details is what professionals typically do. In addition to being more risky one's self-interests and the interests of the organization, there are also often very good legal/confidentiality reasons not to run one's mouth off.
I cannot tell you how many times I've seen a video I wanted to watch on Youtube and had it disappear on reloading the page/clicking another video and going back. Even opening in another tab doesn't work sometimes? (It registers a regular click rather than ctrl-click and loads the link normally rather than in a new tab.) Don't get me started on the way it takes control of your keyboard input on video pages in completely unintuitive way. Will the right arrow track forward or raise the volume? Depends on YT's mood, I guess.

It survives solely on network effect. I can't wait for a competitor, and several are waiting in the wing.
> My guess is that handing this out is a very nice thing to do but perhaps irrelevant in a world where 400v and 800v drive systems are the state of the art.

The high-voltage system for the drive motors, whether 400V or 800V, is unrelated to the low-voltage system for accessories. The transition from 12V to 48V is concerning the low-voltage system. Prior to the Cybertruck, no automobile ever had a fully 48V low-voltage system. To learn more about how this is a big deal, check out Jason Cammisa's video on the subject. I've cued it to the specific topic in the [1] link below.

I’d also add that pandemic supply chain disruption meant that consumers were more accepting of limited choices initially or assumed prices would recover.

We saw that especially badly with the auto industry, which used the chip shortage to push people to buy more expensive models. Lots of people figured they didn’t have a choice so they bought what the dealer had available, especially before interest rates made it easier to not think about the difference. In 2019, fewer buyers would’ve put up with that because they’d assume the model they wanted would be available soon.
I'm surprised it took this long. Intuitively, it should be possible to show that the smallest setup that has a period of 19 cannot be larger than some area related to 19, and therefore ought to be long but not intractable to enumerate. Maybe I'm off and it's really too big already.
Mine started with homopolar motors! They're fun and easy and great kid-level physics and engineering.

I can also recommend Snap Circuits for Christmas. :)
I'm sorry, but I was certain that it's true that the reason free speech was important is because vigorous debate pushes truth to the top. People realize that they cannot win arguments against truth and change their minds. Is this not true?
I'd call it cheating too but yeah. I like the pi and sensors though. Sounds like the start of something cool. Wish I could get a product like this to put in my roof to detect leaks. That would be useful.
"Is training with user-generated content a way to launder copyrighted images?" Pretty much.
2023 was an 'extinction' level year for tech startups
My experience is that if your server doesn't retry webhooks then you could be doing something more efficient, and if it does retry webhooks then that indicates it's important not to miss anything and you should use persistent events rather than relying on bug-prone "if there's a 200, drop the event from the DB" webhook retries from the server.

I do think there's an argument for the interoperability of webhooks for integrating different services. I'm skeptical that they're the best choice from a purely technical perspective.
Wasn't that a bet with Heinlein? His entry was "Stranger in a Strange Land" which having a human raised by Martians as the main person was a bit better

Oh and the fosterites were poking fun at Scientology, Mormons, and proto megachurch People.

And his intent wasn't to rip off or lie to anyone
It's less interesting with the knowledge that it's wrong. The universe has RNG in the form of quantum interference patterns. Events are not deterministic they are a series of possible chance that is within so much entropy you cannot isolate it at classical scale.
I know that. But fsck only fixes the ones that it can fix automatically. With anything else, you are completely on your own. Get a hex editor and go to town. With zfs, if there is some kind of problem that cannot be automatically fixed then at least you have one more tool available: zdb. It’s a _debugger_ for zfs filesystems. It will show you everything, more than you ever wanted to know. It is way better for fixing problems than any hex editor.
Yeah, Elon talked about this in his latest interview with Munro. It seems that they just use Ethernet rather than CAN bus.[0]

I can tell you exactly why. It’s because they have a separate vp and org for all these different products like search, maps, etc. none of them talk to each other and they all compete for promotions. There is no one shot caller same thing with gcp. Google does not know products.
Meanwhile too many Facebook fans are downvoting me. This should age well.
I’m glad she’s off the board. You cannot have a trigger happy fire an important ceo over some to me is a small trust issue, infact it seems like she’s over using her powers and “hold principle” and destroy everything even to achieve it. It proves she cannot think inbetween, saying it’s “protect humanity at all costs”, you really need a brain to execute that and she has proven it was a massive f-up
The problem is that if a really successful private business does compete, or many, then that takes away from the revenue the Australia Post can reinvest into its operations. Now in this theoretical scenario, Australia Post has a choice to make. Close shop, since the reduced pool of customers and thus revenue is not sufficient to fund its current worker pool. Or raise prices and innovate. Or operate at a loss (who does that?), or be subsidized by tax payers one way or another. And then you end up right back into the current state of economics, which is inevitable, and operates as its own organism and agenda.

I would think shipping to Australia is something any outside business would avoid given the cost of it being in BFE. So naturally a solution was implemented to keep its citizens happy. If it was as cheap to ship to Australia as it is to ship between borders, Australia Post wouldnt exist.
A certain minimum level of jank always makes demos more believable. Watching Brockman wade through Discord during the napkin-to-website demo immediately made the whole thing convincing.

AI is in the "hold it together with hope and duct tape" phase, and marketing videos claiming otherwise are easy to spot and debunk.
Rocket is its own web framework, but Loco is built on top of axum. Axum is a little more lightweight and has a simpler/cleaner API. Loco also, if I'm not mistaken, is trying to take more of a batteries-included approach than Rocket.

According to the axum's readme, another feature that sets it apart is that "axum doesn't have its own middleware system but instead uses tower::Service. This means axum gets timeouts, tracing, compression, authorization, and more, for free. It also enables you to share middleware with applications written using hyper or tonic."
"Before joining Electrek, David was a mobile technology journalist for over a decade at Android Police, where he started as a writer and went on to serve as Editor-in-Chief. He later accepted a side quest in the world of startup marketing, heading up content and product marketing initiatives at two SaaS companies."
What you're saying is not unreasonable and not too far off of WTC anti-dumping laws. It deals, albeit at a national level, with corporations undercutting domestically manufactured goods at a loss to drive them out of business, only to drive prices up later.

OpenAI's oversight structure is plainly stupid by any measure. Their CEO and core "partners" liquidated the board and reformed it within a few days of his firing. The buck stops with Sam. The only thing Helen Toner screwed up was being an associate professor with net worth < $500,000,000.
Huh, I've heard several people refer to Microsoft as a "retirement home." Maybe that's just an ageism thing.

Literally right into the waves, it got sucked out immediately.
Is your job getting worse?
From my narrow view of the software world, companies are tightening their belts and often increasing their ambition. The people I know and work with have survived at least one round of demoralizing layoffs (or haven't survived). They are more overworked, more tired, and generally less happy. Leadership is getting less friendly.

On the upside, staff solidarity is increasing in small pockets as people bond over the state of things.

Is the same dynamic playing out everywhere?
I agree with you but I think the argument is flawed. If you think about it like this h265 also just steals 10% (or whatever the compression ratio is) of an artifact
I wonder if the decrease in desktop computers, CRT screens, printers, scanners, fax machines, etc. lowered overall e-waste volumes at all. Even though there are so many phones, each one is a lot smaller than personal electronics used to be.
Google launched a new AI, and has already admitted at least one demo wasn't real
Data structures can be a hard part of programming. That doesn't mean folks don't chose the wrong data structures all the time in any language.

An array instead of a linked list or vice versa. A dequeue instead of a set or vice versa. A binary tree instead of a B+ tree. You can't just throw column names at a DB schema and hope for the best. There's actual engineering to be done, even if many programmers refuse to admit it when interacting with a relational database engine.
To each their own. I bought myself and my partner iPhone 13. She kept her in case, mine always case free.

2 years later, she broke back and screen. Mine while all scratched up is still intact. Went underwater at least 5 times. Number of falls on concrete, tiles, etc.
The part I quote below resonated with me, if you have an email I could reach you at I would like to ask your opinion about how to handle a situation. It is very private.

> I have been in similar situations with large scale customers. It is hard. Some percentage of customers are pathological, and even after you fix their problem refuse to stop continuing the rumors.

>Once it’s fixed, I want all communication forward looking. Some percent of people are flat out insane, incompetent, or just assholes. Sometimes you have to lock the thread in order to stop a conversation about something that is already fixed.

>Large scale customer bases are just a different beast. Once you experience it, you know what I mean. That doesn’t mean Google took the right path - only people with a comprehensive perspective can evaluate that, and I’m just some idiot on a forum who knows nothing about the specifics.
Too bad there isnt an AI to take multiple symptoms and narrow the search a bit.
Yes, it's pickleball country.
It’s basically like how insurance companies determine premiums for people but this is on a much smaller scale.

Personally, I liked going to buffets as a kid. But as an adult, I find them repulsive. In the back of my mind, instead of choosing a well balanced meal. I am instead motivated to just get the priciest items. Forget rice. Forget veggies. Protein. Protein. Protein. Steak, lobster, fish.

Of course I regret it the night of or the following day as it exits my system
I haven't tried Loco, but Rocket is not Rails-like. It does, to me, have the friendliest API among Rust frameworks, but it is nowhere near as battery-filled and opinionated as Rails.
I have no idea how much e-waste results from a phone. How many materials are mined to make the metals? How much energy was needed to manufacture the chips?

At first glance yeah, a phone has much less e-waste than a laser printer. Is this true though? Yeah, the laser printer takes up more space in a landfill. But what about everything that went into making the phone, and the waste resulting from these processes? Maybe the lithium ion battery alone is considered much worse waste than anything in the printer.

I have no idea. It would be interesting to see something that attempts to tally these things.
I'd say Django is also a one person framework, as I use it to build a business. The others probably are too, judging by what's been said by them
Sounds like they decided to skip MIDI but them's the breaks. Glad to see Suzuki bringing this back rather than having it cloned by Behringer.
I think that beyond a certain period you have so much logic at your disposal that you can construct two organisms sending messages to each other and vary the distance in increments of one to get any period you want.
All the big tech layoffs of 2023
for the opposite extreme, we have "Diogenes Throwing Away His Cup"
If you lose customers their data, fail to recover it, and then want all communication to be "forward looking" you are either flat out insane, incompetent or just an asshole.
Yours is the absolutely dumbest comment I've read all year.
> If aliens don’t exist, why are defense contractors trying so hard to shut down a bill that simply says “show us what you know about aliens”?

Because if they say "Nothing" will you shut up and believe them?

Of course not.

You can't prove a negative like this.

And there are lots of things that would be "alien adjacent" and would give away what military abilities we have to detect things.

At this point, the military has less ability than the people on this axis. We have billions of people with phones in multiple countries that can record with video everywhere. If aliens existed in anything that was more than a super-ultra-rare one-off, supressing the evidence in this day and age would be beyond impossible.

As for the contractors: it's almost certainly because the government isn't providing any funding in the amendment. The contractors would happily charge lots of money to compile a multi-thousand page report that effectively says "Nothing" if you paid them to. That's their whole bloody business model, for crying out loud.
>Perhaps there's some level of overconfidence at play from systems thinkers who overintellectualize their ability to conceptualize and extrapolate forward an impossibly complex system.

Actually this is more or less the point that Eliezer Yudkowsky makes in this essay about the need for caution in AI development:

https://www.econlib.org/archives/2016/03/so_far_unfriend.htm... (see especially points A/B/C/D)

I doubt overconfidence is a problem specific to effective altruism. In any case, any good machine learning engineer knows that a dataset with only a single data point is essentially worthless -- even if we grant the premise that the board took the wrong action given the information they had available to them at the time.
A few months ago people were referring to him as dead weight, the Ballmer of Google who dropped the ball given OpenAI and the over hiring. As if Sundar were gone Google would get a Satya who quadruples the current stock price.

Plus the decline in Google quality and failure to diversify revenue streams?

He’s pretty couple to a story of popular stagnation at Google. Not sure where he could go. This is likely a puff piece to get people to propagate and push down old content.
Tesla uses 800v only to run the Cybertruck's drive motors. Every other electric load in the truck uses 48v. Both of these are much higher in the Cybertruck than all other Tesla models. All other Tesla models use 400v [IIRC] for the drive motors and 12v for everything else.
I love the sound of the Omnichord. It brings me back to a mall in the 90s. I can smell the fountain and see the pennies at the bottom.

Is your math wrong by order of magnitudes? I try to visualize the amount of waste I generate every year and try to imagine one cell phone next to it. Doesn’t feel very significant.
SQL is the semantic layer on top of relational algebra. Adding another layer on top is like having Google translate from Spanish to Russian before translating back to English. Each level of indirection just opens the door for more nonsense to creep in.
Very neat commemoration, I appreciate Suzuki and Yamaha quality and commitment to music. Hands-on development is a wonderful avenue for learning and expression. This instrument provides great access.
People have apparently modded other phones for 18650 as well. I will have to look into it sometime.
People be watching this and still argue "math is invented" smh
Are you joking? This is extraordinarily bad advice and a great way to get blacklisted. At least be a little more tactful about it…
“Greedflation” would be when those companies kept prices up after their supply chain had returned to normal. Competition will chip away at that but that’s going to be slow if you’re in a market with only another megacorp trying the same thing.
PoE over CAN bus moves more complexity from EE world into software world. While Tesla currently has best auto software, this is still a very foreign and a different way of thinking/managing for traditional auto manufacturing. This won't be just using a different set of cables, it's going to flip their engineering departments upside down.
I take it you've never written DR bare metal recovery procedures or been in involved in detailed, living business continuity planning.

You have zero backups if they're untested.

If they're tested and separate by vendor and/or distance, if they're in an accessible medium or format, then they are different.
I can't instantly switch audio inputs to my phone with Bluetooth when I'm in an unfamiliar location. If there's a jack I can plug in and play music in seconds. If it's bluetooth... could be 30 seconds, could be 5-10 minutes before I can get the bluetooth working. Meanwhile the music is off. Maybe I just wanted to share one song, but I've possibly killed the party. Not even worth the risk. Headphone jacks are really excellent and just work. I've lost hours of my life troubleshooting Bluetooth.

zdb is read-only. It's not fixing anything, just telling you what's going on.
Anecdotal, but i'm seeing companies revert back to the ol' "let's lump 2-3 jobs into one" chestnut.
This is why I like the Framework way: keep the chassis the same so you can just buy a shiny new motherboard with the latest processor if your old motherboard dies.

It's probably not as suitable for phones what with changes to antenna requirements and such though.
All this assumes that volume is the problem. Deliberately extreme example: cleaning up my yard results in a large volume of heavy waste - enough bags of waste to equal hundreds, maybe thousands, of discarded phones. But surely all the metals in the phones - maybe even from just ONE phone - will have much more environmental impact than a mixture of dead leaves, grass, and old mulch from my yard.
Have you tried writing for Wikinews?

https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Main_Page

Unlike Wikipedia, Wikinews allows and encourages original reporting. You don't need a journalism degree to contribute an article.
Yep, because unlike general purpose programming languages, you describe WHAT data you want from SQL, not HOW to get that data as in most application languages.
Sorry that Heinlein one is paywalled I'll look further.
I've read all his stuff, even the horrible mess of the last books and posthumous thing.

He was completely into turning into a woman even early on much less the book where he had his brain put into a secretary who died in an accident and went into the ramifications.
I say he as Lazarus Long and the rest were him.
It’s fundamentally inflationary.
So great helpful reply.. its point:

Need a workaround on issue that Wine does not (yet) support keyboard layout input else than the first one set or English: en_.. (not sure of the more precise) and an .exe app is almost 100% a native language of other than the 1st KB layout or en_US or alike

So switching to 2nd, so on, KB layout, a key pressed give no affect at all, if only the said app easily freely available it'd help by typing this tiny text editor in native Linux functionality i.e. able to get key input of any KB char. code then copy the text with mostly <70 chars into the input field point/event on that .exe app

So the snap feature clearly seems trivial, would benefit great as it 'd stick the note pad border allignedly at or inside the .exe's one
You don't even need to redesign (resize) the packages (boxes, think laundry detergent or cereal). Just fill them up with 5-10% less and only change the printed weight/volume. If the package doesn't transparently show the product inside it's not as obvious.
