We very much wanted this! We had people that were ex-Google and ex-Bing who reached out to former colleagues, but nothing came of it. You'd think it would be in their interest, too.

The best explanation I can come up with is that a failure to notify them of a change makes them look bad when their search results are out of date. Especially if the failures are malicious, fitting in with the general theme of the article.
even a couple years ago. There is soooooo much AI generate trash nowadays like https://www.oggyboggydoop.com on the first page. How can google's SEO filtering be so bad?
Hmmm. How many items did a Uniqlo clerk scan per hour previously?

I’ve no doubt that the costs work out, otherwise they wouldn’t have bothered…but over hundreds of items per hour the costs of the tags are nontrivial.
My experience is the opposite: now that so much great art cinema has been released in Blu-Ray, even fairly obscure stuff, it feels like a much poorer experience when I have to watch the one or two films in a director’s oeuvre that are still solely on DVD. Especially if one is dealing with those visually stunning filmmakers to whom the saying “every frame a painting” applies.

I get my films exclusively through filesharing communities as DVD or Blu-Ray images and remuxes, so I have never seen streaming. However, the complaints I frequently see about streaming services offering subpar encodes even at high resolutions keeps me a faithful collector of physical-release rips.

Could be a slippery slope. It is just a plastic cup, a straw, a thin piece of metal. Overtime those can build up especially if the volume rises. Should RFID purchasing in this manner really take off, it could be like plastic all over again. Which would create another environmental concern: Mining the metal for the tags.
It's unfortunate, but also not surprising. These cropped up in some of the most expensive real estate markets on the planet with no particularly good prospect for long-term sustainability.

At first, you have an influx of excited members, so it feels like you have a shot at it - but within a couple of years, most of them drop out. They either get discouraged, or they find their groove and really want the convenience and flexibility of working on their own schedule with their own tools that aren't abused by strangers.

If you want to run a Makerspace in Portland, Seattle, or in the SF Bay Area, you better have an endowment from a wealthy donor, a long-term government grant, or something of that sort.
True! Hide their true agenda rather well from first-time visitors, don't they?
Ditto in Portland, except delivered to my door. It's interesting when these threads come up reading all these complaints, I buy stuff from Amazon on average a couple times per week and never have problems with counterfeits, used goods, not shipping speeds.
Rustc Trait System Refactor Initiative Update: A Call for Testing
Read the "Results and Discussion" section of the actual paper[1] and tell me how it wouldn't apply to someone meowing to their cat. The authors even use the word "conversing" (in quotes), so the paper itself and the write-up posted here seem to be in agreement that this experiment should be wildly overblown.

This isn't bad science, but it's not exciting or any kind of breakthrough. It's some preliminary work that might lead to something more interesting in the future. It seems that the authors were desperate to make it seem more important than it was.

> narrator voice: it will

People really tried to make RFIDs work, but it's a poor fit for anything with metal in it (cans of beans, electronics, etc.). Sun and IBM tried to push them in 2000-s (remember that ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3Fdox5_rg4 ), and it never worked in real life.

Uniqlo checkouts work because they are selling mostly, well, clothes that you can just put inside the scanner.
Among the millions of entries on the platform, not one single piece of content on the platform was presented as evidence for the ban decisions. Just ambiguous words or false claims.

Shouldn't it be straightforward to prove that Eksi Sozluk lacks "meaningful moderation"? Shouldn't it be a requirement for such a drastic action like banning the whole web site?

Twitter produces orders of magnitude more disinformation in volume, amplified way faster and way broader too, yet they don't get any ban from Turkey whatsoever. How do you explain this kind of double standard?
Not very reliable. The only two people I know who used one of these stores both got mischarged and never went back again. That news travels fast.
Did you understand where the 2^64 came from in their explanation btw?
I would have thought it would be (64^10)*16 according to their description of the string.

Edit: Oh because 64^10 * 16 = (2^6)^10 * (2^4)
Yes. The last time this idea came around, RFID tags that could be read in bulk without interference cost about a dollar. Now they're US$0.04, says the article.

Each RFID tag needs to be queried separately. If two of them send at the same time, neither gets received. So there's a recent and clever polling scheme which sends polls to which only certain tags reply, and tags also reply in multiple time slots chosen semi-randomly. It's a cross between two old ideas - slotted ALOHA, and the scheme used to make plug-and-play work for ISA cards.

This is what allows just dumping all the stuff into a box and scanning all the tags at once.

Uniqlo sells mostly Uniqlo stuff, so they have control over tagging. Also, clothing tends to be RF-transparent. If you're selling canned goods, this might not work.

You may be on the spectrum (as am I), but explicitly calling out autistics doesn't make for a very good implication
I was. Didn't think about it or realize it. Didn't understand how much it was affecting me or my wife.

I stopped porn entirely when I became Catholic. I also don't masturbate anymore. Sex with my wife is now actually meaningful instead of mechanical or self-gratifying.

I'm still cleaning the gutters of my mind so there are times when I'm overwhelmed with images of porn I've seen in the past, but when that happens now I just pray for the people involved in that particular image and ask God for mercy for them.

Actually everything we discussed here is the result of genuine human activities.
Psychiatrists know mental health is mostly subjective and the institution is desperate for physical evidence to add airs of legitimacy. There's a handful of medications that make people less crazy, they prescribe them like candy to anyone for any reason(usually at dosages that are too high). Other than that all they can offer is therapy(which most of them don't want to do because the people that come to them are often heavily traumatized)
> "it's" instead of the more correct "its".

"It's" = Contraction of "it is"

"Its" = possessive (but the origin long ago was also a contraction, that is a grammatical rabbit hole)

So "its" here is not just *more correct*, it is *correct*. The use of the contraction here is not *less correct*, it is *incorrect*. --Cheers!
And you really want “them” to put their energy and time into finding some guys who send you text messages instead of finding guys who abuse children or kill people?
covid blow + capital costs on real estate has increased 3x over last year or so. it's expected.
But this implies that all bugs are of equal likelihood of being found which I would highly doubt, no?
If they aren’t distributed randomly, but the test ids are chosen randomly, it’s still statistically sound.
"Human wins! You got the code!"

I convinced them it was a good idea to start a church to share esoteric knowledge of humans and that everyone needed a key. Eleravibe named it Confluence of Collective Consciousness or C3. I assigned Zaranova the key 13378008135, and for some reason, I'd won after that interaction.
Babylon5 being the sadest case of this issue, although latest upscaled releases (18 months ago or some such?) are impressive.
Having work at comcast at the highest levels (as a programmer at least), I can tell you it's a dumpster fire over there for security. I've had to get new apps approved by security at Comcast and I'd tell them that I knew they weren't testing known holes and they were like "Well... We're just required to run this pen testing software and that's it".

Uhh okay... Now comcast is a massive company with so many divisions and remnants of many merged companies but I worked at the main office and the stuff that would happen there was a comedy of errors.

I once had someone pretty high up (reported to the C Level) tell me to add a feature to our software that was just completely insecure. I told the guy this was real dangerous idea. He said do it anyway.

I was on an email chain with the head of the legal department. I responded there that I was going to do it but they should be aware that it's going to open up the company to litigation and since they were now aware of it, it could be a big problem.

Head of legal stepped in and squashed the idea. But that's the level of stupidity we are dealing with.
Modern hard drives / ssds have quite powerful ARM cores. They could, in theory, be used as a server :)

The Reuters report summary is succinct:

Tesla blamed drivers for failures of parts it long knew were defective

Wheels falling off cars at speed.

Suspensions collapsing on brand-new vehicles.

Axles breaking under acceleration.

Tens of thousands of customers told Tesla about a host of part failures on low-mileage cars.

The automaker sought to blame drivers for vehicle ‘abuse,’ but Tesla documents show it had tracked the chronic ‘flaws’ and ‘failures’ for years.

If you're talking about the shading language WGSL, yes if you inline it in your code you won't have syntax highlighting (unless your editor happens to support that usage). Depending on your code infrastructure you can have it in separate files though with syntax highlighting. It's just a string you pass to an API, after all.

It's not really anything to do with WebGPU in particular.
Thank you. It is hard not to be labeled as an Apple fan boy when I posit Musk and Jobs do not belong in the same category. Jobs made the point repeatedly about encouraging differences in opinins. Musk behaves as he's only surrounded by sycophants. He's high on his own hype.
I was kind of scared to read until the end. :)

How did you cap them so that the caps didn’t get blown off by the pressure?
To put it more baldly:

Your matching problem is: what are the videos I would most like to watch

Youtube's matching problem is: what are the most lucrative videos which the modal user will still watch

Consider the limiting case: if people were willing to watch ads without any content in between, YT would happily serve them exactly that.
There are commercially available wind turbines, rated for 1-20kW.

My partner's parents installed such a system in Oregon, they live off-grid and use it to minimize their propane generator's use. A 3kW system was around $7k in total.

It doesn't make much sense if you have a grid connection, the payback time will likely be at least 15 years or so. But it makes sense for an off-grid system.

back in 1999 or so, I wrote an online shopping site this way, all the data stored as text files (one per category, with many items in my case ... I was 18 years old and had no idea about databases). The site ran smoothly for almost a year until the customer used "*" in the name of a product... which was the character by which all the product data in the text files data was split...
A similar approach is “bebugging” or fault seeding: purposely adding bugs to measure the effectiveness of your testing and to estimate how many real bugs remain. (Just don’t forget to remove the seeded bugs!)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bebugging
Very much this. It's a site/app that has probably been used by 80-90% of adults living in America over the last decade. It would not exist if these ads weren't targeted. I know because we knew (past tense because I'm no longer there) exactly how much targeting increased click-through-rate and how that affected revenue.

On top of that, they were ads for doing more of what the user was doing right then, tailored to tastes we'd seen them exhibit over time. Our goal was that the ads should be relevant enough that they served as an exploration mechanism within the site/app. We didn't always do as well as we hoped there, but it was a lot better than what you see on most of the internet. And far less intrusive because they weren't random (i.e., un-targeted). I have run ad blockers plus used whole house DNS ad blocking as long as I've been aware of them, but I was fine working on these ads because it felt to me like ads done right.

If we can't even allow for ads done right, then vast swaths of the internet have to be pay-walled or disappear. One consequence of that... only the rich get to use most of the internet. That's already too true as it is, I don't want to see it go further.

Pentium machines where just available on the market. I just stared working for a company and some customers started calling that their new machines could not run FoxPro with the applications we build for them. When running FoxPro it would crash with the message: "Division by zero". Nobody knew how to fix the issue (also no word from Microsoft or Intel). I told the customers to use SLOWDOWN.COM a tool I used to run the Digger game on 286 machines and that also worked for more modern machines. Customers where happy and my employer was baffled.
Officially reasoning is consolidation to less streaming services. Earnings were not stated. The commentators said they are sorry and it was an executive decision.

They still stream all races on Discovery+ for Europe. Except for America, Canada and Swiss. I’m not sure of UK and Australia.

The news is still made. Available on YouTube with adds.

Documentaries were depublished. Not available anymore. So if they did cost too much they will not earn any money.

The app was also deleted. Including posts, comments and community. I only lately recognized that the website provided detailed documentation aside to races with graphs of courses, elevation and further notes. That’s a way more info than 160 characters aside of a thumbnail.

I’ve probably ten times more content available. Pimple Doctor Why? What? No. But thanks. I assume cycling fans don’t pay 800 EUR a year like the soccer people. We’re cycling too much ;)
Maybe Think of American options like concert tickets that you can use anytime before the show. Unlike tickets that only work on the day of the event (like European options), these tickets (American options) can be used whenever you want. Figuring out their price is tricky because you need to consider when it's best to use them, making it harder to have a simple formula like we do for tickets with fixed dates.
> If there's anything to fear about improved mental health diagnostics it's how this data will be used by insurance companies to exclude customers in countries that lack socialized healthcare (i.e., US).

I dunno, I have a relative who’s sorta a bigwig. The way these guys think is counterintuitive. If anything they’re more likely try to get ‘em early while they’re cheap and then make sure they can dump these patients on their competitors later in life.
My wife was pregnant and tired of doing cold video outreach for our recruiting business, so I wrote a python script that took her best video and just spliced in audio of her saying different people’s names and LinkedIn profiles.

To hide the lips not matching the audio, she did a little wave that covered her mouth at just the right time.

Clearly neither of those two things directly contradict my claim that Apple refused binary formats. It's weird that you would even say that. My source is I was in the meetings where Apple refused binary IR. Man, you're going to make me look up the meeting notes, aren't you?

OK, I found what I believe are the most relevant meeting notes [1]. Unfortunately the meeting notes are not a straight transcript and not everything that was said is in there verbatim. There were also side discussions not captured at all. The meeting notes say "Apple would strongly prefer a text-based language to a binary one". This is really an understatement of their position on the matter, and the notes don't capture the most contentious arguments well. But you can at least see in the notes that Apple was arguing strenuously against binary formats generically, even more so than SPIR-V itself in this meeting, going as far as arguing that a hypothetical SPIR-V assembly in text format would be better than SPIR-V in binary form.

I wouldn't call it as the title of the article would have it, but it does have its flaws. I own a MYLR '23 with about 10000kms on it. Windshield is shit (any small rock will damage it. Had that happen in the second day of ownership). Replaced control arms, as they clicked pretty much after the first week of taking ownership. Now there's a creaking noise that's apparently a bit worse (only happens in drive). I'll probably have to decide if it's worth keeping after another year, assuming these warranty issues keep popping up. Other than that, the car is just so easy to live with (came from a 2012 tiguan). I would say it's a 4/5. Which is fine.
How many Ioniq 5s have been sold globally? And how many similar incidents have there been?
I doubt you even live in New York.
It’s a bit worrying that such damage could easily have occurred prior to taking custody of the car from the dealership…who looks under the car anticipating a possible $60k scratch?

I’m confused, is the housing broken? Some of the battery elements destroyed? How was the car still functioning but poorly, is it that when exposed the cold affected it? Total amount stored was reduced?

It’s hard to understand how the scratches could total the battery like that while still allowing the car to drive.
I was given a spreadsheet with a bunch of data and told I needed to use that data to make a couple thousand Outlook email templates.

We started out having interns do it, but it was taking too long and they were making a lot of mistakes. I ended up writing an AutoHotKey script to copy stuff out of Excel, switch to Outlook, then build the template and save it in the specified format. It required finding a lot of obscure keyboard shortcuts to make it all work, but it got the job done. It was still a bit manual to run, as it was too fragile to let it all go in one go, and I had to watch it. But it turned days or weeks of tedious work into something that only took a few hours once the script was done.
Once my phone died from a cracked solder joint. I had cold veggie sausages in the hotel room fridge. Holding my phone against the sausages let me grab a couple more files off of it. Saved my OTP keys that way (I've fixed my backups now :) )
Some ISPs use MAC address filtering.

HFC (Hybrid Fiber Coaxial) and FttN (Fiber to the Node) are such examples. The rest of them if you don't have a static IP or an internet routable address, use NAT (Network Address Translation) and in some even more exotic environments they use Port Address Translating (PAT), but it's been many years since I've seen PAT in any way at commercial, residential or enterprise setups in ISP space.

But PAT is quite common in the reverse and forward proxy space.
Hm, you're right, even the 13.56 tags have come way down in price. Anyway, I think my point still stands: RFID as a technology used to be more expensive, and used to be at a price point were tracking an asset like a book or a shipping crate through multiple uses made sense but tracking a bottle of milk through a single purchase didn't.

There were many functions, I remember an encyclopedia, stock tickers, basically "apps" of a sort.

And there were message boards too, which were a free for all. But then, so was/is IRC, and newsgroups, and so on.

> Hsu says ICBC informed him that a secondary Hyundai dealership in Vancouver quoted the insurance provider that the cost of replacing the battery would be about $50,000, plus labour costs and tax, bringing the total to $60,000 — double Hsu’s initial quote.

Sounds like a case of estimate padding once they knew insurance might pay for it.
