> Are there exceptions [where it's truly accidental]

> Are there many, many instances of that being bullshit? Sure.

If you're trying to be fair by including the former sentence, then that should also include a "many, many" before "exceptions" unless you have the data I was asking after. As it stands, this adds no further information

> You can google for 2 mins and find many examples of hardware mysteriously failing while an officer was violating someone's rights.

If you think the cops are so bad, what about the criminals? I'd also claim the cop was violating my rights if I did something wrong and it's my word against theirs. How are you ever going to know what happened there? You can assume the cop was corrupt and the citizen innocent in all those cases, but if it were knowable then the citizen would have brought it to court rather than to the media, so I'm assuming it's unknowable who was right in most of those cases

There has to be a fraction of cases where their rights were not being violated as claimed and footage is still unavailable. Whether that is 1/10 or 9/10, neither of us apparently has the information to make such a claim, but you're making extraordinary assumptions without extraordinary evidence
Building a faster hash table for high performance SQL joins
The only thing that matters here rather than the nonsense hypotheticals is that they are right, the library isn’t C89 as pointed out by others. This isn’t about not liking C89 flavor ice cream, but calling it C89 when it isn’t. Like, of all things why mislead about that? Very bizarre behavior from the OP and these comments.

The more reasonable discussion then becomes: fix the non C89 issues so the statement becomes accurate, disclose that it uses extensions, or as some have constructively suggested consider just targeting C99 rather than GNU89.
Not sure why you think criticism of something not being what it claims is inappropriate.
>Don't Agree to Disagree

>While these are certainly preferable to conflict, settling for cooperation means that neither party actually has a chance to update their prior beliefs to get them closer to the truth.....Did either side actually learn anything?

It's a great article, but I think it's focus on reaching a definitive conclusion is not always appropriate. I think the answer to this can be yes, there are several things we can learn and benefit from short of persuading, or being persuaded. We can learn more about why people have the opposing view, which aspects of your own argument they find more or less credible, and vice versa. Just practicing respectful debate is a win.
Over seven years of using a variety of deployment tooling including helm (2 and 3), kustomize and our own scripting we concluded that helm's strength is as a package manager, akin to dpkg. Writing good packages is complex, but the tool is quite powerful if you take the time to do that. For our own deployments what we typically want to to do is: build, test and push an image, plug some context specific things into yaml, send the yaml to the control plane and maybe monitor the result for pod readiness. We have some custom tooling that does this in gitlab pipelines, relying on kustomize for the yaml-spattering bits. We still do use a lot of our own and third-party helm charts but for us there's a clear distinction between installing packages (which tend to be longer-term stable infra things) and rapidly iterating on deployments of our own stuff.

I'm guessing that this vaccine is only used post-diagnosis.

It’s funny how these corporations can hoover up billions of taxpayer dollars and only care about cold hard cash, but as soon as someone suggests that perhaps the people in whose name those subsidies are granted should get an ownership stake in the corporations receiving those subsidies if only to have a sliver of control into what those companies do with said subsidies, all of a sudden the guitar is whipped out, and people start singing Kumbaya because “it’s not all about the money.”

I want to make a counterproposal that should be perfectly in tune with that philosophy:

How about instead of receiving billions in subsidies, these corporations do the funding themselves and provide broadband internet to these rural communities at no cost?

Let’s not forget the value these corporations buy, which they call “goodwill” in economics.

So often, corporations seem to focus on the dollars or sometimes the negative externalities but completely forget what they receive that isn’t measured in dollars: in this case, provide a service to the society they benefit so much from.

There have been some buildings on Water Street in recent years too.

But that's the "plan" I was talking about: all other areas are banned from having apartments. It's right there in the city general plan. No more housing, except for a few tiny areas.

A few years ago we proposed housing along Soquel in the commercial area, and millionaire homeowners bemoaned that we were destroying their poor "working class" neighborhood by allowing apartments and affordable housing. Meanwhile these same wealthy homeowners would never consider selling their homes to anyone who is not extremely wealthy or with an astronomical income. They cater to the wealthy while blocking more affordable housing.

This is the plan continuing its execution.

Recent state law will change this, slowly, over the coming decades by making such unfair plans illegal. More housing must be allowed in city general plans, and it can't all be stuck in the poor areas, or that will violate the states interpretation of Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing provisions, as enforced by state HCD.

The city will delay as long as possible, and block as much as possible, but it will happen eventually. And if the city delays too long in updating the plan to allow for more housing, the Builders Remedy will allow developers to build without city having any discretionary approval.
That's why we need open source chips, the same restrictions we had with proprietary software are now coming to hardware. Plenty of interesting things to do with FPGAs, and the community is even in the early stages of developing open source FPGAs now.

> Yet we still recognize texting & driving as dangerous

Do I need to explain that looking at a billboard and interacting with you phone are wildly different activities? Do we need to discuss the differences between terms passive and active?

Equating glancing at billboards(less than 1 sec) and texting(on average 5 seconds) - requires ignoring the basic principles behind those two actions.

Texting requires your visual attention, your fine motor functions and your mental abilities engaged.

Looking at a few words and an image requires considerably less engagement.

https://www.driversalert.com/10-terrifying-facts-about-texti...

> And active billboards are much more distracting as per the NIH paper than passive ones

Of course they are. But distracting and hazard are two very different things. Many things are distracting, but aren't a hazard.

And your other link actually shows how different are things on the road that require active attention(active safety notices) vs things that are just informative(signs and billboards).

And if you made a claim that video billboards are likely to be too distracting, instead of generalizing that all billboards are a safety hazard - I wouldn't even engaged. As it stands, your position of "all billboards are a safety hazard" is just an opinion - with evidence to the contrary.
That was the old thinking. Turns out it leads to divergences which was one of the difficulties that quantum theory overcame. Baez has a good overview of these kinds of problems:

Struggles with the Continuum, https://arxiv.org/abs/1609.01421

Lots of issues spring from unphysical assumptions like continuous quantities, point-like objects and infinities. Quantum mechanics was the first step towards more discrete formalisms, and I think future physics will take further steps in this direction to eliminate these issues.
Why do we oversimplify so many things?
And function of ease of manual testing. Some things are impossible to manually test without changing the actual code.

For example, testing access permissions. Your UI isn't gonna display data or operations you don't have access to.

But that doesn't mean your back end is honoring permissions.

The other thing to take into account is how noticable the bug is. You should inch more towards writing tests for bugs that are less likely to be noticed by someone.

> Secondly, Xorg only does windows, with no sense of importance. What's the problem with that? For a long time, this meant that the Lock Screen was literally just a window, drawn on top of all your other windows. If anything crashed your Lock Screen, system was open for business. This has been heavily hacked and worked around, but it's still a potential threat. Some of the more "lightweight" distributions still use software that is vulnerable to this; because we've sure patched the hell out of that Lock Screen software to please not crash.

I learned this years ago, although not in such detail, and it just blew my mind. You can even see it. I wake my laptop from sleep, my screen flickers and I see my desktop, then the lock screen paints over the top like a flasher closing his coat. It makes me cringe.

Switching to Wayland lasts about 10 minutes though before I find some breakage that prevents me from using it.
If refactoring code doesn't lead to fewer defects down the road, or to faster feature implementation with less errors, or faster employee onboarding, or any other visible result, then maybe management doesn't want you to do it, and maybe it's reasonable to consider why.

So this was designed entirely in Spain but it is also joint work with a university in Mexico ;-) Nice project though; I've visited BSC and they do a lot of cool work there.
Ah, this takes me back! I remember the days before Facebook, YouTube, and heck, even before Google was a thing. Anyone else remember using Altavista? Those were simpler times online. When you opened a webpage, it was all about the content – dense, to the point, and no beating around the bush. It was high-quality stuff and, best of all, ad-free.

I really miss those days. There was something special about the internet back then. It felt more like exploring a vast library full of hidden gems rather than being in a mall bombarded with ads and clickbait. Dreaming of a return to that kind of internet feels like wishing for a time machine, but hey, a person can hope, right?

Yes. MGLRU only keeps the system responsive enough so that the OOM daemon can do its job when it comes to it.
For those who believe human conflict is the product of certain social or economic conditions that prevail today, rather than inherent to the human condition, the idea that more primitive conditions were peaceful is an appealing one.

You also see this line of thinking extend to the idea of hierarchy, with limited archaeological evidence for primitive hierarchies being taken to imply the absence of hierarchy, in spite of hierarchy and status existing among modern day hunter gatherers and other primitive groups.

Any advice/ideas/articles/references on using kustomize efficiently?

I love the idea of using a tool bundled with kubectl for zero dependencies, but their examples and tutorials are horrible.

It seems I would need multiple copies of kustomization.yaml in multiple folders, if I have multiple namespaces/pods/etc...
~20 years ago a young father on my block had a mole on his neck that ended up being a fatal melanoma. He otherwise looked so healthy.

He said it might have been from sunburns when he was in the Boy Scouts.

I will never forget the look on his face when I spoke with him, a look of bewilderment wrestling with anger.

His wife teetered with grief and confusion, trying her best to be strong while trying to bear the sickening reality that nobody could have prepared their family for.

I always get an annual dermatology checkup now because of him.

I think you're making an error---according to GR the singularities in black hole cores are in time, not locations in space, as confusing as that is, and as much as colloquial language suggests it.

Every geodesic that crosses the horizon terminates at the singularity in a finite amount of time. If you fall past the horizon the singularity is in your definite future and in a finite amount of proper observer time your geodesic will end, at which point ... who knows what happens.

Hey all, I ran some experiments benchmarking fine-tuning ViT, ResNet50, and CLIP on a Facial Emotion Recognition dataset. I had read the original papers the past few weeks, but wanted to do some practical hands on use of the models themselves.

https://blog.oxen.ai/practical-ml-dive-how-to-customize-a-vi...

~ TLDR ~ ViT works the best in this small experiment, with minimal code. The experiment was classifying 7 different facial emotions such as "happy", "sad", "angry", etc...

Model Accuracy

* ViT - 69%
* ResNet50 64%
* Zero-Shot CLIP - 53%

Was honestly most impressed with CLIP's ability for zero-shot transfer, even though it had the worst accuracy. The ability to give it a freeform list of prompts or labels and it will automatically classify into the subset without training feels like the future of prototyping products and models, then once you define your use case go with something more performant like a ViT.

Anyways, I had fun writing the code and running the experiments, so thought I would share!

Show HN: Automate the browser with an AI assistant
I’ve always wanted to be able to control my computer hands-free. Whether it’s when my hands are tied like when I’m eating, or when I’m away and want to run a routine task.

There are existing tools that can execute predefined tasks on the browser, but they have several disadvantages:

* They work by matching css selectors, so they are brittle -> increases the cost of maintenance.

* Every task must be predefined - the tool won’t work on new websites without additional configuration.

* It is tedious to specify a task consisting of many individual steps.

To solve this, I built [name redacted] - it’s a chrome extension that uses GPT4-V to interpret the screen contents and deduce the sequence of steps needed to complete a task. See a demo here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyy7cMj-zHk.

Here’s how it works:

1. Ask [name redacted] to perform a task, like book me a dinner reservation at my favorite restaurant.

2. [name redacted] takes a screenshot of the current page and some additional metadata about the interactive elements, and selects the next action to take to accomplish the task.

3. The action is performed in the browser tab, and the process repeats until the task is done.

In this way, [name redacted] can operate on all websites, perform any task a human can, and work mostly autonomously. It is a work in progress to get the accuracy correct, but I’m confident the approach is valid.

Some things I’m excited for in the roadmap:

* Voice in/out support

* Record and rerun macros

* Automated testing and reports with [name redacted]

Let me know what you think and I’d love any feedback you have!
Feels pretty apt honestly. This is about how secure I feel using modern technology. The only thing that makes me ok using a bank is knowing I can go ask a human being to chase my money down when it vanishes suddenly. There's even a non-zero chance they get it back to me!
