ReallySexyCyborg?

Yeah, she tried that and then guess what happened...

> Ok for those of you that haven't figured it out I got my wings clipped and they weren't gentle about it- so there's not going to be much posting on social media anymore and only on very specific subjects. I can leave but Kaidi can't so we're just going to follow the new rules and that's that.
Nothing personal if I don't like and reply like I used to. I'll be focusing on the store and the occasional video. Thanks for understanding, it was fun while it lasted.

Good to know. That was my first question.

I hope this means they also get rid of nonsense like pulseaudio and logind.

I’m a bit skeptical of the “shared session bus” though. Linux supports inode watches for things that want to react to configuration changes, and session busses add a ton of complexity (including a second authorization language, and a userland SPOF)
Also smaller weaker humans survive better in an agrarian society than in a hunter gatherer society.
So taste is ... multi-faceted, multi-dimensional? Who claimed otherwise? Next...
There are only a few fine art galleries, and there are even fewer cities that are fine art markets.

I sold the belle epoque art nouveau works on park ave in nyc, but I originally found them in san francisco - which is not really a fine art market but has a couple galleries
Thank you, that was really helpful and actionable: ex. I had stopped writing filters on queries recently if my RLS had it "built-in", easy to see now it's better for performance, and since it's better for safety anyway, why not do it?
This is a hypothetical scenario. Larger cars impose more risk to both pedestrians and smaller cars.

Even if it was an overall reduction, as the IIHS puts it, "The models that rank among the best and worst performers on both lists point to the unfortunate fact that vehicle cost remains a factor in road safety".[1]

Optimizing public safety in this way may--even if it were true--leads to deeply inequitable safety. Large cars are safer for richer people while disproportionately affecting poorer people and children.

Those same issues exist in most NoSQL databases. If you're going to avoid MongoDB for data safety reasons, you should just go straight to SQL.
Tesla offers three tiers of automated driving:

Autopilot. This automatically accelerates, decelerates, and steers on roads. This works on all roads with lane markings, not just limited access freeways. It also obeys speed limit signs.

Enhanced autopilot. This is autopilot but will also self drive from on-ramp to off-ramp, changing lanes to pass (and exit the passing lane), taking interchanges to other freeways, and exiting the offramp.

Full self driving beta. This will drive on pretty much any street. Early on it was purely a gimmick that required constant intervention, but lately it’s gotten pretty good. My main complaint is that it drives too conservatively, causing impatient drivers to behave erratically around you. Imagine someone driving as if they're taking a driving test. Because of that I tend to drive manually unless I’m on a freeway.
Are they cheaper when you price in whatever adhesive you are using?
A black hole at the center of a gaseous body would mess with the fusion cycle would it not? There’s no pressurized core at the center. Just a drain that all pressure exits into.
For example, once my buddy worked with large batch of mobiles, and he bought new Flux, claimed "not need to rinse off".

So he made manipulations, and try to turn on - 1,2,..,5,..9.. Well, whole batch not worked. Imagine, his feelings!

He asked professional, answer was: "you don't need to use chemical additives to rinse off, but you must use just clear water, then sure dry board". And it really helped.
There's no (natural) law that prescribes that integers must be used, is it? Also, from what I understand that nanometer count is a bit symbolic, less literal.

EDIT: for instance IMEC talks about "sub 1nm" process, that is 0.7nm (https://www.tomshardware.com/news/imec-reveals-sub-1nm-trans...)
This doesn't fix corruption. Corrupt spending is often quite conspicuous, it's just people won't or can't do anything about it.
It's generally an accident.
I’m not Mr. Lebowski. I’m The Dude.
It's crazy that SSHFP hasn't taken off, I don't think a single person on earth has ever verified a host key before attempting to connect, and deploying DNSSEC is trivial now that you can use ECC and ED25519.
You have to leak information about the key generation to compress it.
Ah got it. You've got a weird requirement for steelman arguments.
There's plenty of data already though (of which a very clear LACK of signal should be a pretty obvious one). People, likely you included, discount that stuff because it doesn't confirm their priors. And so they demand new data that they believe will. And if it doesn't? Goalposts are movable for a reason.

At the end of the day you either believe or you don't. But if there was an actual problem, we'd know. There are millions of these things on the street now.
Video Recommendations: Two Tower or Not to Tower, That Was Never a Question
That approach can work but requires a person with enough experience with the systems+domain in question to know when it's a reasonable risk. Just last week we had an example where they didn't have enough experience and there was an enormous effort to clean up all of the transactions that posted incorrectly.
Wow. I wish I could get a computer or VM/VPS with this. Or rent part of one. Use it with quantized models and llama.cpp.

Seems like a big part of using these systems effectively is thinking of ways to take advantage of batching. I guess the normal thing is just to handle multiple user's requests simultaneously. But maybe another one could be moving from working with agents to agent swarms.
That it's rude to steelman one person while taking the worst interpretation of another person? I don't think that's weird.
I’ve seen ‘galleries’ all over. How does one know if it’s really a fine art gallery or not? I have a pretty good eye as I’m a novice painter with a few years of old-style academic training under my belt (casts, nude models, etc). All I know of that I’d call mostly respectable are Maxwell-Alexander and Arcadia Contemporary. But they deal only in living painters.
Yes that's a great point. I wish distros would force all mirrors to be TLS. Security should be the default. If users want to use a fast insecure mirror, they can enable that option at their discretion.
Are you saying coal is more egalitarian than nuclear? Or that 'they' will outlaw solar eventually because it is easy to build a decentralized grid?
This is called the "LSD" system, for obvious reasons.
I cant believe they nerfed VLOOKUP like that.
When referring to black holes, "falling in" means going past the event horizon. For all practical purposes for us on the outside of the singularity, this is "having fallen into the black hole" as any object is gone to us forever once having done so. We don't use falling in to mean touching the singularity, which as you noted, does indeed take infinite time. Using the definition this way isn't particularly useful.
It would be like a pinhole leak. A large enough container can maintain pressure even with a few small holes letting the contents slowly stream out.

Problem with bigrams is that it will create a lot of nonwords. In the example given 你好世界 we’d get one bigram 好世 which no one is going to be looking for. Lots of wasted space in the index.
Rodents of Unusual Size? I don't think they exist...
What? Phone usage is already banned while driving, period. Also, along with other Autopilot distractions, it is also detected by the cabin camera and it can kick you from using it.

So I guess the answer to your questions are yes and yes?
> You do realize you contradict yourself here, right?

I'm pointing out your contradiction, because extreme sports are exactly the same kind of behaviour which is the subject of this article, and that you classified as negligible or zero value before it exploded in popularity.

The point being that a wide latitude of risk seeking behaviour allows people to find new and unexpected success modes, even if they at first appear to convey little benefit and incur considerable risk.
Exactly opposite. Accessing Euro-zone in 1999 has stabilised Spain's inflation at around 2-4%, before getting into Euro it was wild.

https://tradingeconomics.com/spain/inflation-cpi

From 1997 until 2021 it was at a stable 2-4%. 1985-1995 it was 5%-10%, and 1965-1985 it was 10-20%.

Also, if you compare inflation of say Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Estonia and Estonia (or any other comparable countries), you will have a difficult time spotting which ones of them have Euro and when it was adopted.
Glibc is the standard (as in the most commonly used) libc. Musl is not commonly used. Musl is not the standard libc on Linux.

It requires some effort to migrate applications to musl, and there are functional differences from glibc. https://wiki.musl-libc.org/functional-differences-from-glibc...

Gasoline isn’t a digression, it’s a great example of why removing precision from prices is a bad idea.

Imagine you own a gas station. Your actual cost to fill your tanks is some multiple of the price you can charge per gallon. Requiring 10 cent-rounded prices kneecaps your ability to efficiently price your product.

Flipping it around, if you think $1/10 increments are good enough for a gas station owner, why aren’t they good enough for Microsoft when its shares are traded? Decimalization in equity markets has been widely seen as a success because more precise prices communicate information about the relative interests of buyers and sellers more accurately.

Given the predominance of digital transactions, it’s hard to argue that the transactional efficiency gains of less precise prices are worth the downsides.
Why are people still choosing Mongo over Postgres these days? If there's something I'm missing, I'm genuinely curious as I'm not against json data and frequency use jsonb tables in Postgres.
A hardware solution to the same problem:

This was given to me as a gift, I love it. Though, it's pricey enough I'm not sure I'd ever buy it for myself.
In this case its rather obvious. a year prior one project reached 1.0 That would make the webserver useless, since it could do the same on a cluster of servers with an better uptime
You're saying that as though many of those users were given a choice.

Microsoft pays billions of dollars to make itself the default on new OEM machines. As well as providing free or heavily discounted licenses to school districts to ensure the next generation only knows about Windows.

Those 1.2 billion installs are the result of aggressive (and at times legally dubious) business decisions, not 1.2 billion individual choices to install Windows.
It's not a question of belief, it's a question of collecting the data. The data I mentioned is reasonable, easy to collect, and currently unavailable.
There's something else going on then such as your settings or that particular game. FSR2 and DLSS work within the same frame cycle after the frame has been rendered (much faster at a lower resolution). So latency is the same at the same FPS, and latency is lower at higher FPS, all other things equal.
If just PVC production is banned, there’ll still be demand for it, shifting production overseas, where safety regulations may be worse than in the US. I’m not convinced this would really be a good thing.

You must be trolling. China is one of the oldest cultures. At least how they define it (continuous culture).

Visit the Huangshan mountains:

Or the desert. The forbidden city. Summer palace. Clay soldiers in Xiamen....

But yes, you can see airports in Germany. Even airports they took 10 years to build (Berlin).
This is when multifactor includes "what you know they know about you" and specialized in-group slang is the real mark of credit.

Mongo is never the right choice. Postgres is nearly always the right choice, however.
NYC is pretty jelly of Venice .. they're already flooding their subways in anticipation of replacing transport with gondolas by 2100.
I know this is a joke, but TSMC is already talking about 1.4nm processes by 2027-2028:

https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/manufacturing/tsm...

It really looks like the current tech could take us to sub 1nm.
That merely adds a layer of indirection rather than solving anything. It is still using the person's silence against them and saying "there is proof behind that door." If there is proof it needs to be produced. If the State can always go "well there's encrypted data and inside the encrypted data is the reason to imprison this guy." You dont need the evidence, you just need to know its not visible. Why ever even seek the decryption order if you automatically get the negative implication for free?

Its never been the defendants job to prove their innocence. Remember that's where we start. A defendant is innocent. An innocent person does not need to unlock anything, they're innocent.
I wonder why humans don’t exhibit this. Is it because we can come up with ingenious ways to feed ourselves and aren’t completely dependent on the environment? Or maybe we do, south East Asians are really small compared to say a Polynesian.
Cardinal Becciu: Vatican court convicts former Pope adviser of financial crimes
Postgres does all that plus 100x.
People think of it as money but mostly as unusable money.

Even Bitcoin proponents now longer propose "using Bitcoin" but "holding Bitcoin" and cashing out to fiat if they have to use money.
> it managed to achieve the main thing that is required for something to become money: enough people have to think it’s money. When enough people come to think of something as money, it becomes money.

Perhaps they thought it was an asset that others would pay money for, like a pyramid scheme. They were buying shares of Bitcoin, essentially. People were buying financial instruments linked to worthless real estate in the 2000s; they thought they were (sufficiently liquid) assets, not money.

What evidence do we have that people thought Bitcoin was currency and not an investment instrument? I know there's some Bitcoin-as-cash going on, but how much, and how much today?
I'm not sure what this has to do with what I said. I want to know if there actually are fewer accidents because of Autopilot versus other situations. People are suspect of Tesla's own published data, but we can just easily answer it. For some reason, nobody advocates for finding out what's happening, just complaining one way or the other.
>“Have you had your tea?” - Get out of my house

"Tea", meaning 'dinner', I presume.
The same to you. If you feel like you're best contribution to tell someone to 'not engage' - then you should look at not engaging at all yourself :)

My comment tries to give the PCA to what contributes to males taking more risks than females within the human species. This isn't a hypothesis - there have been a lot of studies which have shown human males to engage in risk-related behaviors when other females are present. It's also supported by other male-dominated species as well - the males have one single 'alpha' male which females choose to mate with -- but that 'alpha' male will need to take more 'risks' and be more aggressive in order for him to be in such a position in the first place. I'm not sure what you're expecting me to also list out in a hacker news discussion, but this is the best I can do. If you feel like you have counter-arguments -- feel free to post them and I'll be happy to take a look at them and reconsider my position OR post studies which show that you're wrong. Cheers.
Customized deepfake attacks are definitely happening:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2021/10/14/huge-...

My thinking is, you might as well get in the habit of defending yourself now. The alternative is to monitor how widespread the attack is and only adjust your policy once it becomes "sufficiently" widespread. But I don't think that's even a labor savings, since defending yourself isn't actually that hard.

SF spent $1.6 billion and 10 years to make 2.7k line that no one rides

I love public transportation when it's good (Tokyo, Singapore, HK, Seoul, Paris, London, Berlin, Amsterdam, ...) but I have zero expectations for public transportation to get to "good" levels in any city in the USA except the 3 where it's already just so-so (NYC, Chicago, DC)

As long as it's seen as "the thing poor people who can't afford a car use" it will always be funded and run as such. ... and feel like it. I never feel safe on SF nor NYCs public transit.
The code I get from LLMs is only as good as StackOverflow and will often send you in the wrong direction if you don't know what it's doing.

Chesterton is talking about cultural systems which have evolved into their current form over a very long expanse of time. They are the result of a very long dynamic process.

It’s easy to look at the end result of that process and assume that one can easily move things around. But that’s not how the system came to be in the first place.

Maybe the new changes would be inconsequential. Maybe they would even make things run better. Or maybe they would be just an evolutionary dead end, eventually discarded by natural selection.

The point is that one needs to be humble and understand not just the current state of the system but also how it gradually came to be formed over time. Only then should one start proposing changes, carefully.
If bitcoin does not succeed as a currency but does as a store of wealth, then eventually all of the coins will flow into a few funds and large wallets, right?

So once all the coins are mined and if there are not many p2p transactions occurring, then what incentive is there to mine and support the network?

Will coin owners just mine their own private blocks whenever they need to move coin?

Curious if this has already been considered by the bulls or bears. Seems like bitcoin will need to increase the upper limit of coins to continue to work.
You can just read the article and you wouldn't need to make up a reason for why, the article tells you why.
Lead is still legal in hot water supply lines, which is why you can only get “hot water” fixtures for certain sizes of lines at Home Depot:

https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-3-4-in-FIP-x-3-4-in-FIP...

This is the only choice for 3/4 FIP that I can find there. Such lines are used by our water filter and softener. The brass connectors are leaded, and it has a prop 65 warning.

The end result of this loophole is that you probably have at least some leaded plumbing in your home.

Edit: From the product manual.

> Important Information
Stainless Steel Water Heater Water Connectors

> WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

> Lead Free: The wetted surface of this product contacted
by consumable water contains less than one quarter of one percent (0.25%) of lead by
weight.

Note that the wetted surface standard is because this part is electroplated, and they test it with intact plating. The manual goes on to say you need to inspect it every 6 months, or more often if you have hard water.

I’m guessing most people don’t disassemble and reassemble their home’s plumbing supply lines every few months to see if the brass has been exposed due to contact with water.
It's very very difficult to "drain" anything through a molecule-sized hole.
I own this book. It was invaluable navigating Shenzhen electronics markets. In Shenzhen it is easy to find any electronic part you need and has an extensive recycling ecosystem. You can find parts on the street which find it's way upstream and end up in completed phones. Those phones are then resold.

That was my goal when I was there to build an iPhone in my hotel room by buying every individual part. And except for the thumbprint(because it needs to be reflashed) everything worked perfectly. I even named it my non-Sweatshop iPhone.
it's toxic in use as well. AFAIK they are still contaminated with lead and cadmium in the US, which Europe has removed. There's lots of phthalates that leach out. Definitely not something you would want to drink water out of- which is why its used for drainage. The drainage chemicals are someone else's problem!
I use custom linters as a “continuous codemod” that transform old code and engineer habit in form X to new form Y. Combined with a way to “ratchet” the number of rule violations towards zero, we can gradually and relatively painlessly roll out any number of whole codebase migrations in parallel over weeks or months.

Two examples:

- we have an API like dbModel.getValue() that subscribes the current view to any change in an entire database row. We noticed this lead to UI performance issues from components over-rendering. To deprecate, I wrote a rule to transform dbModel.getValue().specificProp to dbModel.getSpecificProp(). We can’t remove the getValue method since there’s times you really do need it, but we can automatically switch new code written to a more performant specific call for many cases.

- We use a lint rule to enforce that API endpoints and queue worker jobs have ownership and monitoring rules specified. We could use the type system to strictly enforce this, but we want to support gradual migration as well as suggest some inferred values based on the identity of the author. Using a lint with ratcheting means newly added cases are enforced but easy to add, and old cases can/will adopt over time.

I want to find the time to write a blog post about this, I think it’s a pretty handy pattern.
