> First sale doctrine presumably applies?

Not a thing in France.

Even if it was a case in the US, it is their resellers who are fighting the requirement of B&M-only sales. Not sure where that falls in the "first sale" doctrine because presumably there are contracts involved for resellers.

This case is not about owners selling their used watches on eBay or something.
If this is a faithful reimplementation of the AlphaZero algorithm (and I haven't looked through the code to confirm whether or not it is) then you'd expect equal performance to the published results after enough iterations of training. But the author probably doesn't have the resources to train agents on the same scale as Google did, and so performance in your own usage would largely come down to how long you can afford to train fr.
I doubt that. Most of the WMs available for Linux are way more capable than their standard counterparts. There's a rich diversity of UXs available on the platform. Hopefully their ideas won't die with them if they get left behind by Wayland.
Why the simplest explanation isn't always the best
For those who skipped to the comments: They tried to prevent retailers from selling products first purchased from Rolex, and then sold online. "preventing its authorized dealers selling new watches online."

It’s an upgrade of it makes bowling alleys less expensive, or helps keep existing ones in business or helps open up the market for new ones. We are losing bowling alleys at a rapid clip, don’t let perfect be the enemy of good here.

>The mob's purpose in the the plan devised by Eastman and enacted by Trump [1] was to serve as a distraction / excuse for Mike Pence to launch a contingent election with fake electors who would certify Trump as the victor, thereby terminating our democracy and ending the American experiment.

Your source doesn't back up that statement.
> Oh, that explains why the Wi-Fi was weirdly not available to international tourists/required registration with mobile networks.

Not really. The wifi was funded by the cellular/broadband networks as a value-add for their customers. So I was a broadband Virgin customer and could use Virgin Wifi on the Tube
Ah, sorry I misunderstood what you were saying.

Still, any modern database system could handle these lookups for all but the largest sites, so this smells like premature optimization for the vast majority of projects out there.
Ha! When I saw their bot I immediately thought of my days on FRC and knew there were probably some bots that solved this with a past game.

For those curious about that specific game.

> What is the penalty for lying purposely against a population that cannot afford lawyers for filing a defamation suit?

What lies specifically are you referencing?
For such an old problem that's clearly had a lot of incentive to reduce cost, you can be sure people have tried really hard to improve it. The fact that they're resorting to a lower tech solution to save maintenance costs shows how hard engineering for reliability is.

When I was working on trains, I was surprised how old fashioned everything was. It hadn't really changed in 100 years. But once you see what an absolute beating they take continuously in normal operation, and the high cost of taking a wagon out of service for any reason - let alone the cost of performing maintenance itself, you realize the value in big dumb machines that just keep on working even if they underperform by some less financially important metrics. There are high-tech trains of course, with modern wonders like electricity and even computers, but they're expensive and don't make sense in many applications.

A lot of "surely they could improve that"s end up meaning "surely they could spend more money on that".
Are people still impressed by Rolexes? This is not the 90s or 80s anymore when dropping $10k on a watch was a big move. Things have really exploded post-Covid with influencer culture and wealth appearing seemingly ex nihilo. These nobody, no-name kids seem to have so much money, even.
LLMs are almost always grammatically correct (it's one of the first things they learn); it's their semantic correctness/grounding that's lacking. You would be very hard-pressed to get language like this out of any modern LLM that's actually worth using.
> the secure way is to associate a "digital twin"

Not really, that just punts the problem to another area. This problem has been about as solved as it's going to get ages before the idea of crypto. NFT's don't actually add much other than a different layer and one technique of digital record keeping.
High resolution thermal imaging is tightly regulated
Rolex are the De Beers of the mechanical watch world. Scarcity and exclusivity is a great way to market luxury. A Rolex Submariner in the 80s was about $1,000 — these days it’s closer to $12,000. A new Daytona is twice that. While they were never cheap, they were affordable for a working professional.
They weren't.

They were though in an Edge Magazine article of Sep 2000 https://i.imgur.com/nV38XjA.png except the screenshot is fake.

As is the one on the back of the BBC Micro versions packs, actually! :)

These stats are all political. I dont trust either side. All i know is that when I walk into a CVS/Duane Reade in NYC, everything is locked up. Even the candy.
Ask HN: What are your predictions for 2024?
Agree, and to add a bit more context:

* The contest has 15 problems and a time limit of 3 hours, giving only an average of 12 minutes per problem.

* The average score is 4.83/15, from the official statistics [1].

* The statistics noted that only 5.17% of test takers answered this problem correctly, making it the second-hardest problem out of the 15 on the exam.

I would propose a M+A Tax graduated at roughly the same rate that income taxes are, the main point being to discourage consolidation.

They can't just change the verification code, and it's not based on the fields of the contact card. You can think of it as a fingerprint for their iMessage public key, the one used to encrypt messages end-to-end. If the key with which your phone encrypts iMessage payloads has changed, it indicates that the conversation is being intercepted.

Story that led to the retraction was by the team here at Retail Dive https://www.retaildive.com/news/retailers-crime-problem-numb...
I especially likes the discussion of “adding assumptions” where it became readily apparent that there was zero experience guiding anything in their product, and when they said “assumption”, what they actually meant was “completely and utterly devoid of any semblance of planning what-so-ever”
I don't think "first sale" doctrine applies here. The retailers sign a contract with Rolex in order to buy watches; Rolex argues that the contract can say whatever they want. Since you didn't sign any contract with Rolex, you can sell as many of their watches online as you like. Many people buy Rolexes online.
Honestly I've heard this idea rephrased by many different people, but I think it's unexamined. If someone interrupts me from a complex train of thought, after, it only takes a few seconds of minor confusion before I can get back to where I was - and I doubt I'm unique this way.

I think we may mistake the annoying feeling of plummeting, from the lofty domain of engineering complex software into the banal, as a major loss of productivity. The feeling is very annoying. But does it take so long to get back into your dreams of that perfect ci/cd pipeline, or high throughput system? I'm not sure.
Very cool to see! I find it interesting that being young you didn't automatically gravitate towards Linux. It is IMHO much more interesting to use than windows, is free in a variety of ways, and gives you the power to customize as much as you desire. You did join the light side after all however so all's well that ends well :)
Yeah, doesn't even make sense for something like this to be decentralized, it should be run by Rolex so they can catch edge cases and correct them by fiat
I consider exp(At) to be an exponential expression in A. Depending on A, you may get a matrix whose entries are quadratic in t, as in this case. For another case, you may have trigonometric entries in t, as in the case of A = [0, 1; -1, 0].

Maybe you would personally say that neither of these cases is truly or essentially exponential, since we have more recognizable closed forms. But then you should also commit to saying exp(it) = cos(t) + i sin(t) is not truly exponential. I would find that a little strange, but to each his own.

Anyway, I agree that you get the same answer in the end, as you must.
You talk as though most people who work from home are doing so as an exception to the rule— maybe that's how it is in your organization, but by now most companies have established official policies for WFH. Mine decided to go fully remote, others demanded a returned to the office, and others set up a hybrid system.

If your company landed somewhere on that spectrum that you're unhappy with, that sucks, but that suggests it's time to get a new job, not bitterly caricature your co-workers as only wanting to work remotely in order to avoid interacting with you.
I mean, there was this story[0] ("How a Docker footgun led to a vandal deleting NewsBlur's MongoDB database") about how the Docker rules allowed a hacker to delete someone's database.

>Turns out the ufw firewall I enabled and diligently kept on a strict allowlist with only my internal servers didn’t work on a new server because of Docker. When I containerized MongoDB, Docker helpfully inserted an allow rule into iptables, opening up MongoDB to the world. So while my firewall was “active”, doing a sudo iptables -L | grep 27017 showed that MongoDB was open the world. This has been a Docker footgun since 2014.

Story was previously discussed on HN[1]. Sure, you could argue the author should have done more to secure the endpoint, but this was 100% a failure mode due to how Docker prioritizes convenience over security.

this sounds like something you'd plug into an LLM asA AGI
> A national group retracted its assertion that organized retail crime stole half of missing merchandise.

My understanding of this article is not that they retracted their assertions about the amount of missing merchandise.

My understanding is that they withdrew their assertion that half of the total missing merchandise was attributable to organized crime.
These scientists aren't using ChatGPT – here's why
I feel like this could be more of a "see also" than a dupe only because it actually has GM's response, which I thought was interesting:

> Following the publication of this article, GM reached out to us, pointing out that the use of AI chatbots referenced here is an example of a third-party tool adopted independently by some of the automaker’s dealership partners. Dealers choose the tools that work best for their customers in their markets, and specific questions about how they’ve chosen to implement these would need to be shared directly with said dealerships.
Not a great argument IMO. If only 0.1% people check the keys, the attacker may be just okay with the 0.1% chance of being discovered – especially if there's no consequences for them.
On the other hand, retail wage theft continues essentially unabated.[0]

>By paying less than the legal minimum wage, employers steal an estimated $15 billion every year. This compares to an estimated $14.7 billion lost annually to shoplifting.

As for taking your servers with you. You don't have to! Use tailscale (or wireguard). Just downgrade your hardware a bit beforehand perhaps in order to decrease burden.
The damage is done. US news channels on both sides saturated the airwaves with doom-mongering about rampant crime, allowing politicians to stoke these fears further for electoral gain.

Retailers were only too happy to have a running excuse for store closures, usually a sign of uncompetitiveness that negatively affects the stock price.
It all depends on who you're trying to appeal to. There's a big segment of the (male) population that's really, really into watches. Kevin Rose famously got distracted by the vertical for a good few years (I think it was "Hodinkee?" or something equally unserious.)
Yeah, it's a tacky status symbol. What's the problem?
If I may ask, why are you so against signing up for these tools?
Yes it is more like Rolex are the Apple of the watch world.
That's how politics works. You don't get the changes you want by saying "there's a tiny little problem that we probably can get by ignoring. But it would be super great if we get changes made soon." You get it from yelling "THE WORLD'S ON FIRE! MAKE THE CHANGES I WANT NOW!!"

Is there any criticism of the laws that were passed as a result of this lie?
Seems ass-backwards to me. Enforcing a specific type of sales experience is much more reasonable than forcing prices.
There are multiple reports of similar problems on related vehicles like lyriq, also see reddit for some. There's nothing good there. Behind it there's the mysterious lack of details about underlying anemic ultium production in general.
> So, I understand not wanting to break RISC-V support, but _should_ people really care about breaking compatibility with early 1990s MIPS chips and a 1979 Motorola CPU?

Yes, we care a lot more than about the 2020 MIPS incarnation (you young kids call it RISCV, fooling nobody)
Those things don't have to be mutually exclusive.

I taught myself to code in high school, and I like what I work on (robotics); it used to be a weekend hobby in college before it became my real job. I also like Michelin star dinners, travelling, live music, skiing, etc.

Expecting people in our industry to prefer "company, product, real building, craftsmanship" over getting paid is how we end up getting paid like nonprofit employees, EMTs, and other professions where people's desire to do good is exploited to drive down salaries.

I assign a number between 1 and 99 to every note, indicating its importance. The title of each note starts with the number, so every note of the folder is ordered in numerical sequence. I found that having a hierarchy of importance with this kind of wide range can be quite useful.
The answer to this is actually very simple and used all over the world by shopping centres and shopping district associations. You just run a free loop bus for a few hours during lunch time to bring people to and from the shopping district. Even in the US I have seen airport hotels do this in NY, SF and LA. I wonder why the default answer in US is often not simple public transport.
Someone from the Marshall Project was on APM Marketplace recently expressing similar facts.

Like I said, most of my money is wfh design of branded gadgets. Not really the sort to care about the reach of others; if content industry collapses because people don’t need to spend money on it, meh. More interested in advancing computing. Pour money into R&D of organic computers, rather than web apps running on the same old gear with more HP under the hood. yawn

Why would CVS make it objectively more difficult to make a purchase if they didn’t have an earnestly held belief that the risk of theft outweighed the loss in sales of having everything “locked up”?

> This is not the 90s or 80s anymore when dropping $10k on a watch was a big move.

To be fair, you're disconnected from economic reality if you think dropping $10k on a watch today isn't a big financial move.
> just wanted to mention that I found bidirectional linear probing to outperform Robin Hood across the board in my Java integer set benchmarks

Research results from the last five years shows that Robin Hood hashing performs better than the other approaches under the right conditions. See this eval paper:

The word dao literally means “road” but by the time of the DDJ, it had come to mean “way of doing something” and “speech that explains how to do something”. Interestingly, in Greek “method” is meta + hodos and hodos means “road” so it’s an etymologically appropriate translation.
I've noticed the same problem, no LLM to manufacturing/construction CAD yet as far as I can tell?

It would be nice to feed the LLM a set of dimensions, constraints, desired features, etc and have a few different versions generated. Quickly explore the problem space of designing house for a piece of land, or for 3d printing.

I don't know about Rolexes specifically, but there is definitely a male subculture of people obsessed with watches who will be impressed by somebody sporting the right bling. I'm not into it, but I can see why many people are given they roll art, engineering, collecting, and conspicuous display of power/wealth all into one.
that's not really suitable for the manufacturing/building route
Thats my point, they might be saying one thing about shoplifting, but the locked up stores are telling a different story.
A law was passed earlier this year that means mandatory card/contactless payment, and prices clearly shown (as opposed being hidden in an app). Unclear exactly when it will be enacted though.

Are you sure that all this infrastructure is not, to them, the actual point of the project? Sometimes it’s fun to go way overboard on engineering for its own sake. I saw one guy who’d built an entire PLC-based control cabinet to automate a cat door. Necessary? No but that’s beside the point. :D
I’m perfectly fine with tougher laws against organized retail crime. Seems like a loophole that should be closed now that anybody can fence in bulk using services like Amazon FBA.

Hence the boom microphone. Preferably with acoustic cancelling.

The boom places the microphone close to your mouth so it's gain is very low. Having two mics on the boom setup to constructively add only the speaker's voice does extra cancelling.

This is how call centers work

EDIT: by boom mic I mean headsets with a boom attached. High end ones are specifically designed to eliminate ambient noise.

It is, in fact, possible to be against theft of property and theft of wages.

That some employers engage in wage theft does not justify stealing property from them Robin Hood style. Both acts are wrong.
