Lots of words. Still somehow misses the definition. And everything valuable about testablity's tiny Wikipedia page.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testability

Testability is not the ability to write tests but the ability to write tests for a thing correlates with testability.

And worth mentioning to all of the (dev)ops folks who think they own observability . . . observability is a strict subset of testability.

Frontier is not just a place which is cold and desperate. Frontier is an opposite of that - a place which is undeveloped yet it is at the beginning of strong growth curve.

A place where it is dangerous and you will have to break your back, but the payout is nice and allows you to climb societal ladder fast.

Vorkuta is an opposite of frontier despite being the reference cold area.
Luckily, I convinced my wife to let me purchase her a pre-fabricated building for an office in February of 2020. We already had an existing concrete slab (12" x 12") where I had a 12" x 10" building put in. It took the work crew about 4 hours to build it. Later I had electrical installed and drywall an insulation put in. She really likes the space.

There is an amazing researcher from MIT that is talking about autonomously self-assembling structures in space. She was on Lex Fridman [0]

Simply one of the most articulate people I have listened to on such an interesting subject.

These appear as if they may be able to be to core thruster for nodes which can be launched like starlink and then, well... star-link-up using the same orchestration software that terrestrial drones use for big displays.

What would the thrust capabilities be for arrays of these. If the fuel needs replacing - create little bots that can give in vacuum re fueling?

They did not re-enabled it.

They provided tools to make the extensions compatible specifically with the android version.

Before they were curating what extensions worked fine in Android and only enabled those, now the developers can take care of that and mark the extension as compatible.
> Many Tesla Superchargers are being equipped with Magic Dock, which is perpetuating CCS

This isn't actually the case; while the tech press made a big deal about the project when announced, hardly any Super Charger sites have the Magic Dock. As of this month, it's only at ~50 Super Charger locations. I also think with widespread NACS adoption the rollout will slow down even more - what is the point of the project if almost all new EVs sold in the US will have NACS? There are over 2000 Tesla Super Charger locations in the US.

I have never seen a Magic Dock in the wild personally, for what little additional it's worth.

Do you have an estimate for typical token usage for a developer who'd use it as part of their workflow? I'd imagine the costs can rack up fairly quickly if you're not careful.
It seems like work-from-home is going to be more of a thing over the next 30+ years than it was over the past 30 years (leaving the past 3 years as an exception to both). Work from home also seems to often involve multiple people in the same household working independently (both having two adults working at different jobs, as well as kids working on educational stuff).

This seems like it should change how houses are designed. A separate "writer's cottage" or "workshop" has a lot of value, but I've always just had N+1 bedrooms even when I lived alone so I could dedicate a bedroom as an office (and in my current place, the biggest bedroom is the office; the small bedroom is my actual bedroom).
In this age frowning upon “cultural appropriation” it cannot be yelled aloud enough that rewriting the human journey in the voice and context of each age is a necessary part of our story telling culture.

Any retelling which gets attention beyond a hundred years later is worth having been written.

As to this offering being counted among the authors best works, I would like to point out that it is common for “outsiders” to produce pivotal works emulating other cultures on account of their naive and enchanted perspective seeing what the host culture takes for granted.

I enjoy seeing as many versions of the Arabian Nights as I enjoy stories of Sinbad, which themselves are contributions of yet other authors’ emulations.

My first rented office was a single room that measured less than 50 square feet. I was able to get a desk and a chair in there but that was it. It had one of those old time doors, half frosted glass. I felt like a noir private eye.
I'm willing to believe that Linux containers were not initially designed to be a security boundary, but I struggle to see why that means they aren't now; it's been over a decade and they have an awful lot of security features for something that doesn't care about security.

EDIT: For that matter, they're clearly being used for security; the features in Linux that are used by runc et al. are the same features used by eg. Chrome to isolate components in order to contain vulnerabilities.

My experience, a few decades later, is that everyone who optimized for STEM and long hours in high school made the right choice. The only downside I’ve seen is some wistfulness about lost romances and the preciousness of childhood. The upside is much higher earning power and greater opportunity later in life. I’d actually be interested in counter examples. In my circle I’m not aware of any, which is different than saying they don’t exist.

This article sounds more like a hit piece against AI rather than actually caring with a CSAM-free internet:

1) LAION only contains links. It's the same links one would find on search engines, or any other large datasets. If they wanted to make this seem less biased, they could have framed as "Identifying and eliminating CSAM in public internet datasets", no need to even mention AI or Machine Learning. But I guess they really want to portray those datasets as some sort of "CSAM database" to tarnish AI reputation in the public eye...

2) You could write this same article about, for instance, search engine indexes or the Internet Archive. Which most likely host such material somewhere there as well. But it doesn't involve AI, so those researchers don't care.

3) The only reason why these links were found and remove is because it's a public dataset. Do they prefer that companies use private datasets, where no one knows what is in it, so no "researcher" can write their little misleading manipulative "think of the children!!" article on it?
>"Everywhere I read treats them as a security boundary"

The people writing those articles are wrong. Containers are insufficient for untrusted code. containers should not be treated as a security boundary. A virtual machine or something similar (Firecracker) can be treated as a security boundary, but not a container.
After looking at the HN demo, it seems like AI is for streamlining the sql query -> chart building process.

Microsoft OneNote (classic): I use it individually and with teammates and it works great. Link to deadlines in an Outlook calendar and it keeps me and my team organized. You can paste any type of content on a note page. It has lightning fast search. Multiple levels of organization to nest notes, technical details, and record decisions. Our team uses several OneNote notebooks on a shared drive and it handles multiuser sync fantastically well.

Other people I have worked with love Emacs Org mode. I have not used it myself, but if you use emacs, then it is worth a try.
Exactly like the huge subsidies nuclear power have had for the past 70 years?

The difference is for renewables the cost savings panned out, while nuclear has only gotten more expensive.

Renewables are cheaper than fossil fuels, that is why we see mass adoption. Stop crying over spilled milk because nuclear never materialized, embrace the technology that are forcing true change.
> My mother left her state job (she’d had a leading role in developing Bulgaria’s first information system for traffic control) to run the risk-assessment and anti-fraud management system of a large French bank; my father was promoted, at age 38, to medical director of his hospital. My paternal grandparents transformed their garage in a provincial town into a general store, while my maternal ones started a rabbit farm on the premises of their village property. Almost everybody, regardless of age, wanted to do something bold with their newfound freedom, to risk and experiment.

No, they didn't, maybe some of the newly well-off people wanted to do that, like the parents and grandparents of the author of the article here, and that was mostly happening because they could afford to fail because they had money, but the great, great majority of people in Eastern Europe back in the '90s most certainly didn't "want to do something bold with their newfound freedom", they just wanted to be able to, like, literally live, meaning to be able to pay the bills and to put food on the table. Both of those things (paying the bills and putting food on the table) had become impossible for many of our parents back then, my parents eventually did have to sell their one-bedroom apartment in the early 2000s because of unpaid bills.

But I get it, the children of the well-off people from the 1990s went on to study in the West and now they're back lecturing us about this and that and that other thing. Maybe they could just try and open their eyes a little more and realise how difficult and excruciatingly hard life was for the majority of us back then, people who didn't have our parents join well-paid jobs in Western companies.

I'm not Bulgarian, but I did grew up in a city just 11 kms from the border with Bulgaria, one of my first memories as a kid is going with my mum to a Bulgarian border city in order buy some stuff from there (in the mid-80s the Bulgarian stores had more diverse stuff compared to stores in Romania). I'm also about the same age as the author of the article, I think a year older, thereabouts.
No it's the sequence length like how much long is the string in the prompt so to say, 8192 token and it starts losing coherence and by 10000 tokens it was emitting gibberish, like empty lines and half words, I didn't put the worst part into the link. What do you mean by ELII?
Half as Interesting does a lot of explaining what things are and asserting that there is a controversy instead of describing what specifically is controversial or getting bowlers' opinion on the change. I guess that's why we have the LA Times article to read.
They generally pre-auth for either £20 or £40 and then update the amount post-transaction.

In terms of PIN check, the card is just declined with an appropriate error message because you can’t insert it and the next time you use a contactless machine it asks for the card to be inserted and a PIN entered.

For petrol (gas) pumps in the UK it generally auths either £1 or £99.

This doesn’t answer the question. How were VMs designed with security in mind and not with host emulation? Untrusted code? I’m confused, people are talking about vulnerabilities.
You can be under any impression you want but that doesn't make you not completely wrong. The Bible is not a history book, and if it was, it wouldn't be the only one.

And calling 'industrialization' 'capitalism' and 'profit maximizing business' all the same thing and then shrugging it off after getting called out, you are just showing that you ignorant of what any of it means. And your last two sentences are non-sensical -- I literally cannot figure out what 5 year plans have to do with slavery in the west.
That looks pretty interesting - I have a setup that works comfortably for me right now, but it's nice to see maybe-a-future there.
Because I persuaded my parents to spring for one of the nicer options, you actually could have fitted another bed into my room - it would be a squeeze but possible. But for many UK students that would be impossible.

Since I liked this city and never left I actually walked past my old halls earlier this evening, I was tempted to ask a kid to let me take a photo to prove the point but it's now well into holiday break season, anybody left in those halls likely has nowhere else to go so that's pretty bleak.

Instead, here's a brochure, check the top (cheapest and most plentiful) bedroom photos.

Two-way doors always bothered me, because reality isn't black and white. Most decisions I've seen given fall in the grey space. Invariably deciding whether a problem was a 2 or 1 way door was politicized. Managers always argued for tech tech debt "because we could walk it back later so it's a 2-way door". Of course when such decisions backfired, it was always the engineer that "didn't Have Backbone" or "failed To Be Right A Lot", with leadership concluding that was a 1-way door and now everyone just had to "Disagree And Commit" instead of paying back the debt.

Over my 9 years there, I saw every LP used towards politics or malicious compliance. Even reading them now, it all comes across as "just so the right thing"... written in a way that sounds like there is some deeper truth.

I realize the thread started about graphics, but I didn't only mean realistic graphics when I referred to realism, because the comment I was replying to just said "realism in games". I do expect there's some degree of realism in your favorite text-based or pixel-art games as well. As you say, it's clear that a game doesn't need photorealistic graphics to be good, because most games do not.

I disagree because the context here is that they're a streamer. It sounds like there were two goals with the acoustic treatment: (1) to improve sound quality from within the closet which I take to mean echos and reverb and (2) to avoid picking up their partner's voice during meetings. I think it especially makes sense given the closet is in the office where their partner is taking meetings.

Your suggestion of noise canceling head-set only helps prevent her from hearing her partner, not the stream's audience.

People miss communism because communist governments provided normal people with stable jobs and guaranteed housing. Present day neo-liberal governments do not provide normal people with stable jobs and guaranteed housing.

As such, you could say that choosing neo-liberal governments over communist governments doesn't make utilitarian sense for normal people, they should choose the governments that provide them with the basic necessities of life (i.e. housing and the guaranteed opportunity to earn one's living).

I think it's common to react to an alternate approach with defensiveness and assume it doesn't make sense, because it calls into question one's sense of identity and strategic competency.

I never said to "read a lot of code" analogously to "read a lot of textbooks." I actually explicitly called out the practical context of code review, which is where you really learn and develop the muscle of code reading in a design critique setting.

You cannot get good at code review without getting very good at reading code and structurally reasoning about it. You get good at code review by doing it, and in particular doing it with other engineers who are very good at it and who can teach you how to do it. There are a lot of ways to do this that are essentially free (open source contribution is a great one); and of course, it's a mandatory part of what you'll need to do on the job as a professional engineer at any reputable shop.

Get good enough at giving and receiving quality code reviews and you'll find yourself reaching for your debugger less and less. That's because you'll be able to reason about code /in your head/. You can see how common and edge paths would evaluate without needing to execute it, because you've built the muscle to technically analyze and discuss it as it stands.

Go without building that muscle, and you'll lack the foundations that it builds for you, and you'll always rely on the crutch to make up for it. For what it's worth, this is what well designed software engineering interviews are designed to test for -- your ability to reason about and effectively work with code without being dependent on tools.

If you've never seen an experienced senior or principal engineer who uses zero tools solve problems 10x faster than you can because of their ability to do what I just mentioned, this is going to sound foreign. But if you ever develop the inclination to develop into such an engineer, you'll have to do what I just described.
> when an urban legend is implemented in reality

But you have presented no proof of that. What has been shown so far is that:

• One Chinese web site presents the information as factual, i.e. a simple retelling of the legend.

• Equipment exists which have the wrong dimensions on the CE logo.

What you have not proven (and neither has anyone else) is that some manufacturer has actually used the faulty CE dimensions to try to claim that they weren’t trying to show a CE mark, but instead this mythical “China Export” mark. Note that for the legend to work, it has to be some sort of benefit for the manufacturer, namely that they must be able to get out of being accused of falsely displaying a CE mark by, when accused, instead claiming that the CE mark is not in fact a CE mark. But this must be claimed publically by the manufacturer. Surely someone should have some example of this happening by now?

I've read all the comments here, many of which contradict my points. I used to agree with those ideas but then tried to sell LLMs to customers. My takeaway is that customers will pretend they care about privacy and needs for on prem installations, but they will, at least right now, go with a vendor that tells them their data is protected and not investigate the truth of that.

Zoom got away with it and still does and no one got fired for using zoom.

I'm happy to have a debate with someone that has successfully sold those ideas to a customer, but I'm skeptical until then.
