Russia is a nuclear state. Which is the only reason anybody cares, in fact. If Russia were non-nuclear, Putin would be relaxing in Crimea with a pina colada right now.

Instead we play this stupid guessing game, where we try to contain Russia without them feeling threatened enough to do something stupid and apocalyptic. Tanks? Sure. Dropping bombs ourselves? Nope. Artillery? Maybe, but only if you promise to use it only against troops on occupied land.

We don't want their detriment to be bad enough that they actually believe their survival is at risk. They can pretend it is, but they don't truly believe it. If they did, they'd have nuked Kyiv two years ago and been done with it.

So we baby their egos without letting them actually make any progress in Ukraine. We slowly nudge up the level of weaponry we sell -- and are constantly wondering whether it's too much, too little, or completely out in left field.

I thought the Aqara water sensor technique was brilliant. I wish more device makers would build IoT devices that connect directly to sensors.
TL;DR seems to be to just buy a Mac, have the Mac regularly connect to renew registration data and then you can use Beeper for iMessage via email address only.

So essentially it’s defeated because that’s been the requirement to use iMessage anyways, with the only benefit being that now you can access your iMessages on a non Apple device if you own a Mac.

But I suspect Macs aren’t people’s “gateway drug” when entering Apple’s walled garden. It’s more likely an iOS device is.

Also love how they just casually encourage people to share their expensive Mac’s registration information with “10-20” people, without knowing if and how Apple might hit those devices in an attempt to mitigate this.

You could be ending up with a $600 computer that’s banned from a bunch of Apple services because of this.

Apple doesn’t tend to be so heavy handed, but their ToS allows for it, they seem eager to die on the Beeper hill and there’s precedent in the game console world where consoles are banned from interacting the vendor’s network “for safety reasons” when it even so much as detects its jailbroken.

Whatever your stance on this, I think Beeper should at least show and convey caution when making suggestions like this.
Perhaps the problem they have is that one was not allowed to choose which measurable harm was acceptable to themselves in the no-win situation.
There are at least hundreds of thousands of teachers in high-risk age groups. I can't imagine any solutions to this logistical problem that wouldn't also significantly affect learning outcomes.
Yes, in particular you need to learn to develop your pieces. If you don't develop your pieces then you won't have cool tactics to do. Once you learn a basic opening that helps you feel comfortable developing your minor pieces out, castling, and putting your rooks in reasonable places, tactics will start to appear.

Google Lens is an application that allows users to search and identify objects, translate text, and perform various tasks using just a camera or a photo. It is available on both Android and iOS devices. Some key features of Google Lens include:

Using the camera to identify objects, such as artwork, plants, or everyday items.

Translating text in real-time from over 100 languages.

Copying paragraphs, serial numbers, and more from an image and pasting it on your phone or computer.

Searching for songs by humming.

The application is designed to make everyday life easier and more convenient by providing users with quick and accurate information about their surroundings.

I think you may be getting downvoted for a couple of reasons. First, your "original idea" is called excess deaths and it has been reported since the beginning of the pandemic [1]. The entire state of NY had 42k excess deaths. If all these deaths came form NYC, that would be 0.5% of the population which is in line with the GP. Which brings us to the point of why some people are downvoting. Some people believe that COVID deaths were over reported, not under reported.

Force sensor resistors can be had for $3-$8 a piece, would they not also do the trick? ESP32 is such a great platform, can you not just make an HTTP request depending on force to a Home Assistant API endpoint and skip the leak detector as a conduit?

I'd like to know more about the claimed usage figures of OpenAI. I'd like to know more about how many people are really actively using it. I can't stop hearing about LLMs in places like Hacker News, but in my real life away from the tech sphere if I asked someone if they know what OpenAI or ChatGPT are I'd say maybe half would be aware of it, a small fraction would have ever used it a single time and I don't believe I know a single person who actively uses it to get things done.

I think an overwhelming majority of users prompt it to generate a wedding speech speech in the style of H.P. Lovecraft or whatever, have a giggle and never use it again. I am so sceptical of the claimed figures, especially the often-repeated claim that "ChatGPT [is] the fastest-growing consumer application in history"[0].

I think you're oversimplifying it. Of course it provides something of value to some people - it pays drivers, riders get rides home from the airport, etc. I don't think he's saying that Uber has never provided anything of value at any point, but he's making the case that it's still a scam or a bubble, because the company isn't actually making money, it knows it, and has no plan to become profitable. Therefore, it's a net loss, and essentially scamming investors out of money, plus the other negatives he mentions. I'm sure some people made tons of money when the stock market crashed in 1929, that doesn't mean it wasn't catastrophic - just because some people benefited.

Nevermind the language itself, we need a way to pull compilers and project dependencies, pinned to their specific versions, with a single, ergonomic tool. vcpkg seemed really promising but the fact that they didn't start with library versioning from the get go was a very stupid decision, and nowadays versions are pinned to specific commit hashes rather than actual dependency versions, and libraries that weren't previously versioned cannot be fetched if your project relies on an older pre-vcpkg version of a library and cannot be upgraded for one reason or another. These days I find myself struggling more and more with proper dev setup where I have an up-to-date compiler on any machine I want to build the code along with its libraries without running into a rabbit hole of compiler and library issues.

Ah. Anchor based layouts are nice and work well until they don't. Especially when dealing with multiple resolutions, different sized content/padding etc.. They did work really well in simpler projects of mine though.

Just play quick unrated blitz games. Then when you lose it doesn't matter for anything. After a while, you will start to think "hmm, it's more fun when I get an opponent who's close to an even match with me". And then you'll just naturally want to play rated games. And if not, that's fine too.

This is the never-ending problem with programming languages.

If you make big breaking changes, the community suffers - even if the changes are very well intentioned. Look at the long tail of Python 2 vs 3 issues. If it happens once it's not so bad, but the older the community and the greater the size of its existing ecosystem - the more that pain becomes. Rust, from what I've seen, understands this issue.
There are front lights as well.

But, as a manual driver sharing the road with autonomous vehicles, these are probably the most useful lights to me. Even on an undivided two-lane highway, knowing that oncoming traffic is autonomous is of limited use -- if the vehicle does something incorrect and sudden, like crossing the center line, I'm unlikely to have time to respond anyway. (It's also unlikely I'll be able to see a forward turquoise light, at distance, over daytime running lights, especially since so many cars have such high color temperature forward lights.)

But the hazard that an autonomous vehicle poses to me is a pretty strong function of the time I spend near it. It's going to do something stupid at some point (based on current vehicles on the road) -- the questions are (a) how prepared am I and (b) how quickly can I get away from it. With rear turquoise lights, I know that I should increase my following distance, and that I should pass the vehicle aggressively and as quickly as possible; the increased hazard by passing at above legal speed (and possibly outside a legal passing zone) may be offset by the reduced hazard from getting away from an unpredictable death machine.

>My child has been home sick from school four separate times since September, the amount of colds children get from being exposed to each other's germs is absolutely staggering.

That's just a normal part of being a child in in-person school, temporarily made somewhat worse by lack of in-person schooling for 1, sometimes 2 years.

>I'd much rather stay home from school and learn online by being healthy than get COVID and stay home from school without learning anything at all.

All dependent on timescales. I'd rather my child get COVID or any other respiratory virus and stay home from school without learning anything at all for a week max, than keep them home from school for months on end. Even though it wasn't too bad for me as a parent to have my kid home, I'm also part of the laptop class.

>We saw a few examples of university age athletes giving up their athletic careers because of potentially permanently reduced lung capacity caused by long COVID so it's not just the older generation that has consequences.

Yes, we saw a few examples. We didn't see those few examples pre-COVID when it came to bad flu complications because it wasn't click-worthy so no one bothered to write the article. This isn't to say long COVID or COVID complications in under-50s isn't a problem, just trying to put context into the equation.

>I don't feel it's a fair characterization of these methods to say that the main benefit was getting 90 year olds to live to 91.

It's about as simplistic and dismissive as "pfft kids will be fine without in-person school, they're so resilient". Which I've heard far too many times.

So this is react specific? It doesn't say so in the home page. It vaguely hints at it with a "Bring your data sources, React components, deployment environments, design system, and more.".
"The company says for an unspecified number of customers, hackers may have also accessed names, contact information, dates of birth, the last four-digits of Social Security numbers, and their secret questions and answers."

Ah, yes, it truly gives me hope for the future of humanity when these hackers break in to a corporate database like this, have total access to all this sensitive data, and then, out of a sense of fair play and comity, run "SELECT * FROM customers LIMIT UNSPECIFIED" rather than just "SELECT * FROM customers". It's so nice of them to access only an "unspecified" number of customer's data rather than all of them.

the htmx examples are done w/ a mock server based on sinon.js so everything is client-side. this means we can avoid deploying server-side functionality (which would cost money) and it also means that cross-site scripting attacks aren't an issue (you can only xss yourself.)

the examples are to show how htmx works, the "server-side" (such as it is) is just there to support the front end demo.

There is a lot of cognitive science research confirming the point you're making. Cognitive scientists draw a major distinction between working memory and long-term memory (there's also a third "sensory memory" that appears in the literature but isn't all that germane to learning math). In cognitive load theory, managing working memory is important to getting things into long-term memory, so if you have to do 6+6+...+6, that's going to eat up your working memory and you're less likely to be able to commit the more important thing you're trying to learn to long-term memory. There's a lot of published research on this.

It is appealing to some educators to lean on 6+6+...+6 because it shows conceptual understanding, but counterintuitively students who don't make the jump to memorizing 6x7 or something close like 6*6+6 (cognitive scientists call this "fluency") end up having difficulty learning higher-order concepts because of the working memory bottleneck.

Yeah, I found it very useful when I was writing some bash scripts where I don't quite remember the substitution commands but know what I need to do and what a correct solution looks like, so I could just use it to generate the command with a comment.

However, I was using it when learning Rust and it was just generating awful inefficient code, but I only discovered that it was inefficient when I read the docs. My manager is in love with LLMs and try to apply them everywhere at work, including providing a summary of the changes in a github PRs. The generated text is many times just plain wrong and so I never read it, and I am scared of people who actually do use it. Someone created a wiki for ocaml filled with a bunch of LLM content, and so much of it contains commands that don't exist or just plain inaccurate information about how OCaml works. I think LLMs seem pretty harmful in these cases and when I read about people using it for learning it horrifies me a bit.

So my fear is that it can enable you to be lazy and not understand what you are doing, and it ends up harming you and everyone around you. However, when you understand what you are doing, it can help you generate boilerplate or save you a lookup.

EC2 was innovation, but many people didn’t see it. S3 was more distinctly new although still not the first object store or even object store over HTTP as a service, but if you were there a LOT of people did not share that perception and said it cost too much, would never scale, or required too much software to be modified. I’m not saying that to diminish the importance of S3 but simply that we often wildly overstate the importance of being first to ship an idea versus easy to work with, low-drama for operations, etc.

>Stuff like screen sharing was annoying at first, but I can't even remember the last time I noticed I was on wayland.

Does this mean screen sharing actually works on Wayland? Before I abandoned Manjaro for macOS (mostly because I needed the M1 battery life), it default-switched to Wayland after some updates and I only discovered on a work call that Wayland screensharing was broken. That was early this year.

The details are fuzzy to me now, and my situation may have been odd as I had changed hardware from an Nvidia GPU to an AMD APU, but it was astounding as an end user that that was the state of this "production ready, replace everything under the sun with it" software.
Maybe i did something wrong, but the first mistral gguf i downloaded from hugging face and used with llama2 ended every answer with something along the lines of "let us know in the comments" and answers felt like blog posts. :D

> It's not fair to complain about Wayland when it's app developers that are not modernizing.

How do they modernize?

Like you point out, Wayland isn't new. So, I would repeat:

> I would challenge anyone to find a good tutorial online written at a level that novice developers can understand that walks through how to make sure that a Wayland app is accessible, what changes need to be made from X11, and what the common problems or pitfalls are that developers might face.

"Need to modernize" is worthless advice without follow-up advice about what needs to be done to modernize. How many developers building apps for Linux even know what the at-spi protocol is?

----

But more to the point:

> It's not fair

I'm not blaming Wayland devs. I like a lot of Wayland's approach to controls and structure, I agree with a lot of the development philosophy. This isn't about what's fair, I'm telling you that because Wayland is the future and because X11 is a dead end, if users with accessibility concerns can't use Wayland and they can't stick with X11 (which will become increasingly difficult for them to do as X11 decays more and more), they will leave the Linux ecosystem entirely because they will not be physically able to use it. It does not matter who's fault that is.

Is it fair? Who cares, it's going to happen regardless if the accessibility situation doesn't improve.

This is just kicking the can back and forth, blaming application developers changes nothing about the situation that people are in. If application developers need to modernize, then the question becomes "how do we make that easier for them to do and how do we encourage more of them to do it?" Because clearly the current approach of calling them lazy doesn't seem to be working.
