Except that the truck driver has zero fault for the gravel on the road and the spacing between the tires and the mud guard of the truck his employer maintains.

Or did you mean you’d seek out the ceo of the truck company and give them a black eye?
Oh yeah, look at that. Damn. I wonder how they pulled that off. Any time anything like that is suggested around here the culture warriors come in red faced and screaming.
Yes, you’re correct on that! Sorry for the lack of clarity on the docs. The snapshots would be stored in a client side table in these cases. These snapshot tables/collections can either be stored in your own PG or MongoDB.
For context, Nightshade is a tool used to alter images in such a way as to poison a generative image model if the altered images are included in the training set. Poisoned models produce noticably worse output and the only way to fix them is to identify and remove the poisoned training images, and retrain.

That said, it's kind of bonkers to me that publishing an image with alterations like this might be considered illegal, particularly if an image is being published by the copyright holder. It's like saying you can't watermark anything you publish.
I know many people love video, but I personally think this is only slightly better than not recording it anywhere. Video is much harder to search and nearly impossible to skim, so it's difficult to use for anything other than a classroom-style "let's sit down and learn" session.

Most often I'm looking for some particular piece of information. Finding a video that _may_ contain the answer _somewhere_ in the hour (or whatever) of information just means now I have to decide on the likelihood that it'll be worth trying to watch.

Yes, some things are better explained in video format. But not very many, especially in knowledge work.

ETA: Also video is much harder to update as the situation changes. For the most part you just need to re-record the whole thing, which probably isn't going to happen.
So at home I have 3 Ubiquity APs. My house is long and the APs are setup X-X-X on the center line of the house (for the most part). 2.4Ghz is used only for IoT. 5/6Ghz is used for everything else. My house sit on a large lot. I can still see ~50+ other networks around me. The worse part is that there are 2.4Ghz networks that are set to 40 wide channels and 5Ghz networks set to 160 wide channels. People have zero idea what they are doing, and the defaults from the manufactures are junk. Every AP around me is screaming as loud as they can because people seem to think turning up the power makes it all work better.

The only think I want from the the next version of Wifi would be some sort of technology where all the APs in the area can agree on what they see and optimize so they stop stepping on each other.

In my case through careful site surveys and planning, I have a pretty stable network even managing to have useful 40 wide 5Mhz channels. The radios are all tuned to use the least amount of power possible. One thing also to share, if you plan on using Matter/Thread be aware that some of the channel will overlap with your 2.4Ghz networks. If you are using Apple kit for your border router its is locked to channel 25 which will have overlap with your 2.4Ghz channel 11. My Thread network became very stable when I switched my 2.4Ghz to use only channels 1/6.
If you don't want to pay $7.99, you can just open a terminal and type:

Facebook more or less represent the market as a whole, so you got your neighbour's grandma showing her cookies and my cousin rambling about those "dawn xyz people".

On x-twitter, the grandma's gone and you know what's left.

I guess that spending 100k in advertising on Facebook has now a much higher ROI than on x-Twitter because if some friend of my cousin says that "bell is owned by xyz", you lose that market in an instant.

And now that marketplace has replaced many classified ads sites, it's more and more used by our neighbours' grandma's.
I agree with everyone else that the number of hosts reached at startup, by itself, it absolutely useless. There are better articles, personally I like https://digdeeper.neocities.org/articles/browsers which goes into greater detail, examining the purpose of the connections, not only at startup. It does tend to label even some requests (such as updates checking) as spyware, but everything is explained so you can still come to your own conclusions.

Worked for 10 years on hardware/software integration design with Apple and Google. I am not ignoring the actual use case, I think you just aren't exactly able to conceptualize how the application of how this works. You use the camera normally, the software does all the crop/rotation/overlapping augmentation -- just like the smooth zoom between cameras already does. User knows nothing. Only issue would be if crop overlaps lens positions can't be normalized. But we already did that with smooth zoom.
I had no idea that there were star directors.
Yeah but there's still no precedent at all for re-ignition, stabilization, automatic landing, etc. It took SpaceX like 20 tries to do this using 2010's technology and computer automation, with a much smaller rocket.
HN is so bizarrely blood-and-soil sometimes.

I didn't ask my ancestors to screw, thanks. I mean, good for them, I guess? But I wish people would stop insinuating that having children is the pinnacle of human achievement, when, in fact, it's actually the bare minimum. I wish they would realize that not everyone needs to have children (the math alone simply doesn't work out on a finite planet...), and I wish they wouldn't cast aspersions on those of us who choose to live the way we do. How about we go after the people who had kids but shouldn't have, instead?
What? I cannot imagine an employer not hiring you cause you watch black porn. Thats kinda racist no?

Hmm.. OpenAI bunch a few things into some error. Iirc this could be because you're out of credits / don't have a valid payment method on file, but it could also be that you're hitting rate limits. The Vision API could be the culprit, while in beta you can only call it X amount of times per day (X varies by account).

Make the console.log:s for the three API calls a bit more verbose to find out which call is causing this, and if there's more info in the error body.
> At least so far, Bandcamp has not changed after the sale (neither sale)

The second sale was just a couple months ago, and while you can still buy music and download it, it's not true that "nothing has changed" since then. There have been quite a lot of changes, just not on that one front. And it's only been two months, so it's way too early to conclude that Songtradr won't gut it more thoroughly.

Not much changed during the time Epic owned Bandcamp, sure, but that's because Epic only bought it in order to gain standing for their lawsuits with Apple. It didn't fit into their business strategy otherwise, so they had no need to mess with it - they literally just needed it to be a legal subsidiary as a pawn for an unrelated legal battle. The same is not true with Songtradr, which has its own motives and objectives that relate to Bandcamp's actual operations and business.
Sure, but that still makes advertising paid YouTube as “ad-free” a lie and a scam.
> Bhargava is the founder of the company behind the 5-Hour Energy Drink product.

I'm not a fan of 5-hour energy but I heard Bhargava interviewed on a podcast and he seems like an interesting and unusual person. He spent 5-7 years in a Buddhist monastery I think? In any case, got a good impression of him.
I'm curious, if you don't mind me asking what field of work are you in?
> The booster exploded after separation, which is never a good sign. Normal boosters for modern rockets don't do that.

It exploded while attempting to test its landing maneuver. If it just turned off the engines and dropped itself into the ocean like a normal booster, it likely would not have exploded (for one thing, there wouldn't be any fuel left in it being saved for landing).

The FAA (First Amended Accusation) from Cal. DMV against Tesla: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/22127992-585743318-c...

The DMV alleges that Tesla used "Autopilot" and "Full-Self Driving Capability" labels in 2021 and 2022 to represent that the cars were autonomous when they clearly weren't.

Tesla objects that 1. no we didn't; 2. that accusation is too vague; 3. lying to customers is protected Free Speech!; 4. it was truthful and non-misleading anyway; 5. we want a jury trial; 6. the DMV should have stopped us earlier; 7. the accusation is too vague (again); 8. the accusation is too vague (again!); 9. too late (statute of limitations)
Is this one of those situations where it went from practically non-existent to holybejeebusfast? I had friends that lived in an upper mountain valley that barely had POTs, no cable (not enough customers for provider to feel construction was worth it) all the way until ~2014. Finally, the utility strung fiber along the existing POTs poles, and they now had 1Gbps up/down as well as TV service. Being in a valley, the broadcast reception left a lot to be desired, so pretty much everyone had a satellite dish of some sort.
If anything, that sounds like it's saying life begins _before_ conception, not at conception. By that logic, it's also murder to wear a condom or pull out

Being pretty blunt here. I have a hard time taking your suggestions on documentation seriously when you’re redefining a well established term.

“Tacit knowing” was introduced by Michael Polanyi in 1958. Its meaning has generally held in modern usage.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tacit_knowledge

There’s also a meaningful critique here that documentation is not a solution to tacit knowledge sharing. It doesn’t work. To answer your bike question, you learn a bike by riding it. There’s skill progressions and tips and mental models to share, but you absolutely can’t learn to ride a bike by reading docs.

There are skills that are only learned through experience and mentorship. People try otherwise and it usually fails. Do you have evidence otherwise? Do you have a case where you were able to pass tacit knowledge efficiently to a large group of people through docs?

> You'd think that creators making people want to use the site would be important,

The economics of supply and demand disagree with you.

A lot more people want to be creators, than there is money in the ecosystem to support them.

If you want to hold platforms responsible for scams being advertised on them, you're going to need to rewrite a lot of law.
I use it at work for production code. I've found it very helpful for typescript. Also very handy for writing tests.
Interesting. I remember using https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm as a source for some random stuff long ago, but I would take some from one string, then reload the page a few times and grab some more characters, building a random string with pieces from several of the provided ones just in case that wasn't as secure as they claimed. That process probably didn't really help.

I'm working on a visual novel, and I suspect 'low tech' people will enjoy playing it. I also suspect 'low tech' people don't have steam installed on their computers, but they will know how to click a link and play a game in their browser.

I'm hoping to sell the game through Stripe on my own domain as well as on Steam. Time will tell whether I finish this game and whether the Web build defeats the Steam build.

I'm hoping Web wins.
"Do you know ffmpeg supports OCR? I haven't found the command yet, but it does support it."

This is probably 80% of my experience with ffmpeg, to be honest, but the other 20% is invaluable enough anyway.
Do you mean the C compiler's optimization passes can do strange things to code paths that overflow? The last I checked, C would wrap on overflow too. Rust uses the same compiler backend as C, so it could very well have the same behavior emerge from compiler optimization passes.
>"In attempts to mitigate the dangers of memory unsafe code in C and C++, many software manufacturers invest in training programs for their developers

I have seen that too over the years and even been to a couple when I went to other companies, 99% of the time these classes are worthless and consists of marketing drivel. Half the class contains statements like "You can do it the hard way, or the easy way if you purchase ....".

One instructor even stated "You do not need to worry about running out of memory, allocate as much as you want". That class was 20+ years ago. After that I told my manager I will not go to any more vendor classes.

The training I am referring to is by experienced peers and goes on for many months where your work is reviewed in detail, 1 line at a time with you there. That use to happen decades ago, now no more.
> Earlier this year it was bad enough to suspend drink service.

If drink service wasn't suspended on others, it wasn't very bad turbulence. A rule of thumb is that if your seat belt isn't hurting you, it's moderate or lower intensity.
It’s irrelevant, and wrong. 20 minutes outside a major US city wouldn’t be in Wyoming or Idaho; it would be in an area serviced by one of the newer 5G Internet offerings that gets 100-300 down. Or at least about to be.

Complaining about rain and cloudy days doesn’t matter when leaving a connection capped at 20/1. In practice it does work well from the perspective of someone leaving a bad wired service.
Interesting Books I've Read in 2023
Each year, I put together lists of the books and articles that I found most interesting. This started out as a way to motivate myself to take better notes when I read. Now, I occasionally also get a nice message from someone who stumbled onto something new. Enjoy!

Here's a peek at the list:

* Lost Continents by L. Sprague de Camp (1954)

* Slouching Towards Utopia by J. Bradford DeLong (2022)

* The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle (1902)

* The Rise of Universities by Charles Homer Haskins (1923)

* Colonial New England on 5 Shillings a Day by Bill Scheller (2010)

* The Book of Yōkai by Michael Foster (2015)

This stigma is so weird. My first car was Plymouth Voyager and I loved that I can haul a bunch of friends on a hike or I could do a road trip and comfortably sleep in it. My friend had Mazda MPV which was 4x4 and even better.

Now being older I love my minivan because I can fit my family and a ton of stuff. Sliding doors are great in tight city. Drives perfectly fine, it's not a racecar but it actually handles better than many SUVs.

My dream car is Mitsubishi Delica. It's very popular in Georgia (the country) because of the tough mountainous land. I've seen it run circles around jeeps and SUVs.

I am sad this segment of cars is disappearing.

I chuckled when I saw the main protagonist in TV show Ozark being overly attached to his Honda Odyssey. That man knew the real deal.
I'd say gaming is similar to sports in that it's an easy way to find common ground with other men when speaking casually, at least in my Zoomer cohort.

Honestly in my experience every company I've worked at has had some kind of explicit cybersecurity policy or training telling us not to use USB drives, so from a CYA perspective I think I'd be very hesitant to plug one in to a work laptop at all.

It’s section 230 of the communications decency act and covers certain safe harbour provisions about when a telecommunications provider is (and crucially isn’t) responsible for material they are transmitting. So it has lots of ramifications for any site that hosts user-generated content as well as for things like net neutrality etc.

I have looked through Prince's book (the free PDF) and think it is reasonably modern and pretty good. I'll probably pick up a copy at some point.

I have the new d2l book. At ~25 USD it is hard not to recommend it... the paperback print (color!) quality is good. I prefer reading print books so, for me, it is a good companion to the website, which is awesome.
They ought to be evaluated as if no TOS exists. Given the clear intent to defraud customers by misrepresenting the contract they were bound by, the claims should be evaluated under the TOS most favorable to the plaintiffs. The most favorable TOS is the one that's invalid because 23andMe didn't get anyone to actually agree, ergo the claims are evaluated as if no TOS exists.

This is an attempt to undermine consumer protection laws, and the government should treat it as a direct attack. Other companies are watching. The government needs to send a clear message that this won't be tolerated before it spreads, becomes the status quo, and leaves many consumers believing that they don't have any rights or protections.

The head of legal should also be disbarred under American Bar Association rule 1.2(d):

> (d) A lawyer shall not counsel a client to engage, or assist a client, in conduct that the lawyer knows is criminal or fraudulent, but a lawyer may discuss the legal consequences of any proposed course of conduct with a client and may counsel or assist a client to make a good faith effort to determine the validity, scope, meaning or application of the law.

This reads as clear contract fraud in the factum [1]. Customers are told that they're bound by new contract terms, despite that 23andMe never got agreement, nor tried to get agreement, nor even know whether customers have read the new contract. I can't fathom any other reasonable interpretation of the situation. They created a fraudulent contract hoping to confuse other entrants to prior versions of the contract, and intend to benefit from that confusion. It seems clear to me. They are attempting to undermine the legal system, and the ABA needs to deal out swift punishment as one of the protectors of that system.

I can sympathize somewhat with this argument. But it’s also kind of circular to me.

Go being easy to pick up and learn is certainly a virtuous cycle insofar as it helps bootstrap a large community. And that’s absolutely happened!

But that is—in my mind—more of an explanation for why Go has become so popular so quickly more than it is a compelling argument for the language itself. Haskell having conversion friction might explain its lack of adoption, and that’s certainly a great argument in a discussion about why or why not to adopt it for yourself or your team! But it seems like an overvalued axis on which people seem to evaluate languages on their own.

As a counterexample: PHP classically had a reputation as being a language that was very easy for beginners to pick up. And it’s even memory safe! But it also had a reputation for having poor long-term prospects for projects written it as well as being a limiting factor in the growth of engineers using it (note: I make no claims as to the fairness of this reputation, nor to its applicability on “modern” PHP).

PHP is arguably even easier to learn than Go. So why is it that virtually nobody jumps in these discussions trumpeting that?
You're both sort of correct, but that also makes you both sort of wrong too.

Homeless is in part composed of three things (in Portland):

- Substance abuse (drugs, alcohol, etc)

- Mental health (coincides with the above!)

- Housing (which normally stabilizes, somewhat, both of the above!)

We lack single unit subsidized housing in Portland, which makes the former two more visible and at times problematic.
There’s less knowledge needed to manage these systems than we want to believe.

Was curious myself so asked chatgpt and this what I got:

Nested aggregates in databases are useful when you want to perform calculations or summaries on groups of data within larger groups. For example, imagine you have a database of sales transactions with products and categories. You could use nested aggregates to find the total sales for each category and then calculate the average sales per category. It saves effort by allowing you to perform calculations at different levels of granularity in a single query.
Just be careful about saying the name too much during such occult conditions.
