I wish I knew anything about printing, but why can’t my computer just send a PDF to the printer and have it deal with the details itself? I don’t quite understand the need for the computer to have to get into the nitty gritty other than just sending the source and a JSON. Printers nowadays can handle the printing autonomously (obviously, since they can print via WiFi/bluetooth/pendrive since 2005)
No camera evidence, I just realized what is going on and bolted. Once in the hotel, once through bribed security guards. Apparently they thried to get me while I sleep.

5 months, unlikely, that's what everyone says. These people are not common criminals, patience and caution are their hallmarks, they just don't want any witness and thus the police being involved, just waiting for the opportunity. They are proffesionals. And it's hard for them when I am aware and careful, but they won't wait forever.

My stuff didn't hack itself, I had silent phone calls from private number in certain situations, ambiguous messages sent to my skype account, that nobody had knowledge of, but them from my hacked password database.

I am well past the age for common schizophrenia breakouts. I had seen a psychiatrist a few days ago, I wanted to be admited to a mental hospital, just to get a break, but after the evaluation they refused to admit me in, just offered treatmet for depression some time later.

This is true and misleading at the same time. Filling a large FPGA takes time, but if you are working with a small FPGA the turnaround time can be 15 minutes.

You can completely rewrite a modern 4TB 3D TLC NAND every day for 3 years (3000 TBW). How is that crap? Who even has such needs?

You are talking about some arbitrary "quality" - I want to be able to rewrite it a zillion times - which make no sense for 99.9% of use cases.

I'd much rather have a 4 TB drive which can be rewritten 1000 times versus a same price 256 GB one which can be rewritten 1 million times.
I like your app Private LLM. I run it on an old M1 iPad Pro with 16G memory. That said, most of my experiments with integrating LLMs with programs written in Python, Racket, and Common Lisp use Ollama’s REST service. I have a Mac Mini with 32B and it blows my mind how effective an inexpensive energy efficient home computer is for running LLMs.
Slap on the wrist from the stage director.
Wow, that never happened to me and is unacceptable. Was that for the infotainment only or the drive train? Just for others, they are separate systems, you can even safely reboot the infotainment (main display with maps, music etc) if you need to while driving, as it doesn't affect the drive train. I'm guessing it was not the drive train which would be incredibly dangerous.
That question is as "simple" as asking what Palestinian civilians should do when attacked.

These are actually simple questions (yes or no format):

> We're discussing how to minimize the civilian casualties happening as we speak, right?

> Not just the civilian casualties on /one/ side of the wall, /right/?

If your goal isn't that, you should speak up, because that is currently the goal of most of everyone else. Security considerations and guarantees for Palestine and Israel from each other don't come until after that goal is achieved.

I'm going to write that again for emphasis, since you've tried to change the topic to it twice now:

--> Security considerations and guarantees for Palestine and Israel from each other don't come until after that goal is achieved. <---

As it is, you seem a bit distracted from the goal of minimizing the ongoing civilian casualties happening as we speak. Focus. We can discuss your question after, and only after, the civilian deaths stop racking up.
For me this is about my limit. If I am opening an account that can spam or cost the company real money I can accept that a captcha, while shitty is one of the best available options.

It really gets me when I have a 8 year old account that has made purchases and I still see them across the app.

The annoyingly common one is on login pages. If I am giving you correct credentials you don't need a captcha. If bots are an issue you should be doing per-account strong rate limiting, not a captcha.
I wasn’t referring to historical authenticity, but to preserving the riding experience (and likely improving it too).
This makes me wonder: which methods of resource extraction lead to the complete destruction of evidence that resource existed, and which methods lead to a preservation of evidence? If you insert a deep well into a fossil water aquifer, and only use 10% of it, will it all have evaporated after 5 million years due to exposure to the elements?

Indeed. In an emergency: don't stop thinking but also don't overthink, the people that had all the time in the world to design the recovery process probably thought of stuff that you didn't think of and your best bet is to not optimize and do it by the book. Because if you are 'creative' you may save a couple of hours or lose many days. The possible downsides usually aren't worth it.

Also: TEST YOUR BACKUPS.

I actually applaud the author for this post: it's very clearly something that it is easy to find fault with and yet he's got enough sense of responsibility to do it anyway knowing that a lot of people will piss on him. But it may save a life or two down the line and that makes this kind of honesty more than worth it.

I can attest to that. I had worked on a product for a couple of years and received feedback from our support team, but never seen how the product was used in real life. One time, we had a specific bug that the customers were complaining about, and no matter how they described it, we couldn't figure out what the problem was. That was until I went to one of the customer sites and saw how the users were interacting with the product.

When they tried to demonstrate the bug, it was immediately clear to me what the issue was. That was the first time I really grasped the difference in how we approach software products. It also helped me see how the product could improve their job by watching how the process was in real life. Gave me a lot of ideas on how to make their job easier by using the product.
I feel like you are looking at it backwards. When the prosecutor proposes a plea bargain, it's usually because they don't have enough proof to get a proper conviction through a juge/jury, or at least it is so here in France.

A plea bargain is used to convict innocent people, by giving them a choice between a plea punishment, and the punishment of having to go through pre-trial detention and various forms of abuses before being able to prove their innocence. That the entire police-justice system works by treating you as guilty until proven innocent is crazy and is in itself a very strong sentence. That is, unless you are rich of course in which case pre-trial detention is likely non-existent and you can commit most crimes and get away with it.

Ah, ok. I appreciate you distinguishing between the two for me.
Thanks (though I think paywalled articles should not be posted here). The most interesting take-away from the article for me is the reference to this study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29065280/ (here is a non-paywalled version https://www.researchgate.net/publication/318865497_The_Narci...).

Quotes:

"We identified three narcissism factors in the preanalyses of the pooled data and interpreted them as leadership,vanity, and entitlement."

"our results showed evidence that narcissism levels have been slowly declining from the 1990s to the 2010s"

"no ethnic group showed the overall increase predicted by proponents of the narcissism epidemic"

"the findings were consistent across men and women"

So it doesn't seem to be as bad as one might conclude from observing social media; apparently narcissists are overrepresented on the latter (which wouldn't really be surprising).
This would also depend really on how technical the product is, but if a product is technical and PMs don't have enough technical background they won't be able to understand nuance of what customers wanted and what is actually possible to do.
I don't know the exact word for the style, but this article is pretty egregious for the overly stylised "AI art". This just looks cheap, obviously "AI", and is pretty distracting for me. I don't know if that was the intention or not, but it's a detractor for me.
Seems like folks just want to discuss CAPTCHAs generally more ad-hoc, that's cool too, but given how AI has evolved this year, far too many people see this headline and will walk away assuming that the recent AI innovations have made CAPTCHAs useless, but it does not appear to be the case, thankfully.

...Yet, I suppose.
The tesla system is exciting and dangerous, because it does identify many things in the environment, but it's extremely unsafe because on city driving it will not make the right choice most of the time. On the freeway it does much better, but then that's a more restricted environment.

I have an older tesla S with the pre-ai so called autopilot. It has one camera in the front and a radar and the system detects a few things like speed limit signs. The main extent of what it can do is follow the current lane pretty wall, even when it curves, slows down if it comes up to a car going slower than its preset speed. The good thing is it works on any road. It does a shockingly good job.

The later systems with onboard special processors are like a crazy beginning driver to has way too much confidence and drives in dangerous situations willy nilly. There are many other people who have explored it and written long posts. It's not safe. You can try to use it be you have to be constantly paying extreme attention. It's like watching your kid drive the first time. I know you should be watching the stupid ai all the time, but it's far from being safe.
It runs OK on my 32B Mac Mini, but I have mostly been running it using the inexpensive Mistral and AllScale APIs.
It's rather hard for a single person, and a nerd at that, to be up against a proffesional gang. What the hell would I do anyway?

And seriously, duck the money, if I had a choice of being rich and to live with the security, I would rather have normal life and be free.
Move into a sharehouse with people you trust and stream yourself on twitch.

Move into a basement where you can't be surveilled (though your quality of life and sanity will likely drop even more).

Let the gang know you're broke or poorer than you let on. Take the target off your back.

Divest the funds and get a normal job where you're in a workplace 9-5 so that it's unlikey you will be bothered by random people.

Much respect for people building keyboards (a colleague’s done it as well). Since I’d love to have a compact split one (whether wired or not), and apparently it’s quite hard to find them pre-built and in stock, it looks like I’d have to get into building them as well. It’d be a while though, gotta move to a bigger place to have the space to build anything at all.

But on the original topic, it appears that modern wireless keyboards fare well enough as far as connection and latency[0] to qualify for gaming, so I wonder if your impression about connection reliability could be a bit outdated?

I suppose my point is that the rules which openAI attempts to impose on what their AI should and shouldn't be allowed to do are contradictory and thus the exploitable loopholes will never be fully closed. Its not supposed to be able to "lie" to me but it is supposed to be able to "tell me a fictional story". Define the difference in an enforceable way?

That would only double cooling capacity, and has costs - completely invalidates current motherboard designs.
Dead wrong. You are limited by the speed of causality. Even if the universe is infinite your growth rate would cease to be exponential since the speed of causality is linear and the reachable sphere is growing only by the third power.

5% growth per year and two thousand years later you coloinize thousands of observable universes. The observable universe has a length of 90 billion lightyears.

And no, time dilation won't save you unless you think of dumb ideas like cloning yourself so that the humanity that spreads is considered "you". Otherwise you will only get to go to a single planet.
Perhaps. But when so many aren't doing so well and they are force-fed "the economy is great", and *this is key* those disenfranchised vote...well, I hope you see where this is going.

The Federal gov (read: both parties) can't keep using aggregated numbers to hide the details and the hurting. Ppl aren't that naive any more. The world has changed. The gov's reporting of the economy has not. The more that disconnect widens, the worse the potential for sociopolitical fallout. We've been seeing that and yet how has Uncle Sam adjusted?

Please don't shoot the messenger.

You allocate a large lump of memory up front and supply parts of it on demand. This would be different from an allocator which may allocate smaller amounts of memory as needed. This can help reduce memory fragmentation.

It also helps to bound your memory usage. A request could block until memory was free.
Yep, using a ping history:

Boston - DC shows about 13ms: https://wondernetwork.com/pings/Washington/Boston

Boston - Auckland shows about 207ms: https://wondernetwork.com/pings/Washington/Auckland

From anywhere, S3 used to (10+ yrs ago) seem slow enough for a person to feel a delay, 400ms - 800ms plus RTT ping time, but people did and are seeing results sub-200ms perception threshold, i.e., "Average latency per file was 72.3ms" -- but some requests still take a literal second:

> Frankly, PMs are not the ones to handle UX, wireframing, tracking progress, organizing stand-ups, or being the sole authors of PRDs/specs, etc.

Who should be?

There are many schools of thought on this. In the end, it comes down to clearly defining who needs to be responsible for all the different things that go into defining, designing, and building a product.

Given the approach to product management in this article, what would the rest of the team look like?
If this is the ownership and Engineers ask "How?", there's no one overall to connect the dots. For instance with this ownership dynamic product managers will come up with what and why, and engineers will come up with "how", but no one validates whether the whole thing is worth it considering the technical complexities involved. So scenarios where PMs come up with this and Engineers just ask "How?" there will be initiatives that take a lot of resources, while not giving enough in return.

There's no one to balance the complexity of building this vs the gains achieved.

I think best engineers would be people who also use the product and can give their own insights on this, as well as best PMs are someone who have good knowledge of the technical background and context.
That is a very interesting concept

I agree that since Ollama provides a nice REST API, why not use that.
You shared an interesting perspective, but ruined the delivery with the last line.

Question, why the printers cannot act like web servers? Just receive a REST api request and then proceed to do their own thing (aka drive the printer to execute the request). Why my computer needs to know how to operate the printer?
How about using excess peak solar time to produce hydrogen?

Whenever I read about hydrogen power, there’s this sort of elephant in the room that producing it burns power, which is usually assumed to mean burning fossil fuels.

If we have excess solar during the daytime, couldn’t that be spent refining water to hydrogen and sticking that in a battery of sorts?

I feel like that would be especially useful for renewable flight and ocean travel, where the weight of actual batteries makes electric unviable.

Aren't Intel, TSMC and Samsung all customers (and investors) of ASML, which is actually the manufacturer and developer of the EUV (ultraviolet) machines this refers to? Basically, if at all, they might have a slight exclusivity deal, but given the owner structure you can imagine that this will not really affect anything in the long run. With the willingness of spending the money on new nodes they will have the technology too.

3D NAND has introduced degradation when is read data from the disk. You need to calculate then how many times the disk is read, the unwritten free space that will be consumed for to maintain the data when the disk is read, and so on.
>It goes all the way back to Windows 3.11, where printer drivers often directly fiddled the Centronics parallel port themselves.

I know a large bank who had a well paid dev on the payroll who's job was exclusively reverse engineering, patching and writing windows printer drivers so their old specialized institutional printers could keep working on modern Windows because the printer manufacturer would not publish newer drivers.

Printing is still a very important part of many wealthy legacy industries which explains why there's so much fuss around it.
Would you prefer a 10% chance of a death penalty or a 100% chance of a 1 year prison sentence? Exaggerated, but it makes the point clear.
True, the discussion is more about captchas in general. The study isn't bad, I read through it and it's interesting to see real numbers on how long it takes users to solve various captchas. However, a more appropriate title would have been something like "Measuring real user solving times of various captchas" or something like that.
Indeed. PMs are paired on a scrum master level. Then scrum master - due to the fact that they are "SCRUM MASTERS" and not developers focus also on PM type work. To make matters worse the "easily interchangeable" developers are coming from an outsourcing company. Now the development needs to be isolated from the customers with more management. It is a great way to increase the GDP.

Dirty energy is (often) cheap, so that's the energy the bad actors will use. I don't know that incentivizing bad actors to waste energy in a climate crisis is the best way to fight this problem.

You might correctly claim clean energy is often cheaper, but you must also consider the regions in which they'll get away with nefarious activity, and whether those areas have made the investments into making clean energy cheap.
Depends on what you mean.

If you mean just use Linux then not possible. You need MS Excel for any financial work - the alternatives are just not complete enough, Mail also (well used to) needs the OS. And I suspect most people prefer the GUI of macOS and Windows which do just work.

If you mean why isn't the app written to just work then that is often ignorance of what calls and things are Linux specific - a non GUIO business app should be easily portable;le between macOS and Linux and SunOS etc you don't need low level API calls for that.

TSMC or ASML? Or both? I am not trying to be dismissive, just curious about who deserves the credits here.
I went to a biology/astronomy talk where there was a researcher working on the sequence of chemical changes on the early earth without much water or atmosphere would need to create dna base pairs. It was stunning because they basically had a sequence of things and geological discoveries point toward the precursor chemicals being available. It's not that dna was just there.

This is not "life arising spontaneously". This is chemicals in an environment where they eventually build dna base pairs. Then after millions of years, perhaps you get microbes and go from there. Meanwhile we are getting water on earth from comets crashing down.
