We are now in the realms of risk management etc. An unencrypted TCP stream still has sequence numbers - famously abusable in the past. You can still use them to be reasonably sure that your stream is untampered with, with care.

I'm talking about integrity - ie what I sent is what you received or what I requested you to send is what I received.

TLS does only provide encryption, it does not authenticate anything. You can use TLS as a wrapper for auth - to make the exchange private or you could pre-arrange a swap of public keys (certificates) via a method that is mutually agreed. That mutually agreed bit is the authentication part but it has nothing to do with TLS per se.

You click on a website link that starts with https://, most people allow their browser to use its trust store to decide whether to proceed. Increasingly, browsers are becoming opinionated about this, which is bloody annoying for IT bods.

Should you trust MS/Google/Apple/KDE/Mozilla int al to tell you who is trustworthy? No and they don't really (tell you who is trustworthy! All they do is tell you which certification authorities follow the rules. There are not too many rules and they certainly do not ensure anything as such. What you are nearly guaranteed is that if you use things like "Perfect Forward Secrecy" (which cannot be perfect, by definition) and a few other tricks ... your conversation is probably private.

Authentication is a whole new ball game as they say several thousand miles to my left and down a bit!

It's not trying to prohibit. If they want to use copyrighted material, they should have to pay for it like anyone else would.

> prevent centralization of profit to the players who are already the largest?

Having to destroy the infringing models altogether on top of retroactively compensating all infringed rightsholders would probably take the incumbents down a few pegs and level the playing field somewhat, albeit temporarily.

They'd have to learn how to run their business legally alongside everyone else, while saddled with dealing with an appropriately existential monetary debt.
Thanks! Maybe I'll get around to a book at some point...
Well good job it's not your decision to make then.

If the economic benefits of adding solar to their farm outweighs the costs then farmers will start adding them to farms.
You are talking transfer rate but these are polling in most cases. The gpio can easily handle 1000hz. It can 66 thousand times that speed in fact.
The amount of processing they do is negligible and probably amounts to a few microseconds delay at most.

Even with a non polling mouse there would be no point in reading the result more than a thousand times per second. If you move the mouse 3 inches per second (quite fast) and you only process 1000 reports a second you would still achieve a resolution of 0.003 inches.
I’m wondering this too. How does it know the relative positioning of the two monitors?
You could consider some of the specialized AI chips that are coming out. Companies like cerebras, untether, groq etc are building AI appliances for data centers and amongst other startups there must be some looking for data center partners. There's obviously some risk, but having niche, high powered AI chips could be an interesting differentiation depending on your risk tolerance and the kind of deal you can strike.
Interesting concept, however I don't get what information is pasted into the context. Also, ChatGPT's context is kinda limited, I can probably remember the recent context, what I have problem with is context from let's say a week ago which would probably be way over the LLM's context window.
It's an odd time to say "turn the tide against Ukraine", when in the last few months:

1) Ukraine has established a beachhead on the left bank of the Dnipro river, the largest geographic feature in the country

2) Russia's navy has been expelled from the western half of the Black Sea, by a nation with essentially no conventional navy

3) In the last week, Russia's air superiority has apparently ended, with three separate incidents where their most modern fighter-bombers were shot down.

The lines on maps may not have changed a lot in the last few months, but the strategic situation for Russia looks considerably worse than it did in the summer.
I wouldn’t be surprised if one or two very senior people in large tech companies are agency agents, willingly or not.

I don’t really have any proof but considering the massive gain it shouldn’t surprise anyone. The agencies might not even need to pay large sum of $$$ if the said assets have vulnerabilities.
cough... elephant...cough... room... something ...israel... USA... something

Not realated to any current, past, or future conflict. Still, to any non-American it is mind-numbing, and even moreso that so few Americans apparently even notice it
Standardized food safety practices, pre-approved and comparatively trivial recipes, state/county inspections, etc. None of which apply to software. One is fairly trivial and standardized. The other is massively complex, rapidly changing, and unable to be boiled down to a standard set of trivial procedures.

And to answer your question more directly, the flour itself causes the damage. The vulnerability is only damaging if a malicious actor takes advantage of it.
You should try going to Shinjuku with the Oedo line and change to the Odakyu line, it's an experience.

Nah, floaters can be kinda clear. Mine look like circles with stuff in them (they look kinda like diagrams of a cell, or maybe a simple diagram of an atom—they have kinda a dot in the middle) and some of those same circles connected in long, curly strings with tube-like (?) structures.

They do indeed “float”. If I move my eyes they move with them, then have momentum when I stop moving my eyes. They’re way more visible against static, bright backgrounds (like blue sky) but I can see them in indoor lighting, too.

I’ve had them since I was very young. The white flashes you’re referring to I’ve only noticed recently, and are very different things. They do require a bright blue sky for me to see them.
Which is why sunlight laws are so important, the market can't effectively respond to pricing information if that information is obscured.

This is a situation that should eat into supply side profits because buyers are far more price sensitive and have a wealth of alternatives.

Not taking a position as to whether that's good or bad but hiding the price increase is something that really ought to be difficult to pull off.
I also found in my recent two week vacation that it was easy 99% of the time, thanks to good signage and Google Maps. But I did miss one sign in a way that was difficult to recover from; if my partner hadn't noticed it I might have gone pretty far before I realized my mistake.
The more I think about it, the more I'm starting to get of the opinion that this entire call or worry about "storage" when it comes to solar is a giant distraction.

This first thing we need to do is align the costs and incentives. What I mean by that is simply allow the market, or government, to dictate the real cost of providing electricity at night. If there are no solar panels (nighttime), and whatever grid-scale batteries are available cost 1$/kwh then so be it, charge that amount to the consumer. People will learn to forego "bathing" in electricity at night endlessly. For decades we've been spoiled with ridiculous "energy on a tap" that just gives us oodles at the flick of a switch, and we just need to take that away.

As a side-effect of this whole "switching off the endless tap", micro-grids are the future. Small communities with mini-grid-scale batteries and sharing of electricity will take over this stupid "national synchronized grid" idea that has gimped our ability to be agile wrt local energy generation.
How much were the solar and wind propped up by baseline fossil fuels that are cheap because they don’t include externalities in their cost?
That's how it usually works...!
This is true for pretty much every vendor. Security fixes do not all get backported to every previous version of something. Newer iPhone do not just run the latest version of iOS, but they are more secure from a hardware perspective too.
Yeah according to wikipedia there was a phonetic alphabet invented in Egypt which was used by workers and slaves who didn't understand the complexities of hieroglyphics.

The Greeks would later borrow this alphabet, using the same letters and placing them in the same order, adding vowels to better suit their own language.

Answering the burning question: no, Roomba hardware is locked up and not supported.[1]

But this is really awesome. I don’t love the idea of Roomba having a floor plan of my house and constantly prompting me to buy more crap directly in-app, and HA integration is fantastic. Would allow for far more dynamic scheduling for one thing (everyone out of the house? Get to it! Prioritize this room over that one. People arriving back? Head back to base. Night before garbage day? Notify me to empty/replace collection bag.)

Love the section "Valetudo is a garden"

"But, at the end of the day, you must understand that it is still privately-owned. You’re on someone else’s property over which you have no power at all. You will have to show the necessary respect. And - most importantly - you need to understand that letting you into this garden is a gift and should be treated as such.

If you don’t like this garden because you don’t like how it’s structured, or you feel like it’s missing something, or maybe I choose the wrong flowers to plant over there that’s fine. It’s just not for you then. You can leave at any time.

There is simply no ground to stand on to demand change to the garden."
I didn't think about it as much as you, but I have a Sabrent NVMe enclosure[1] and a Crucial 2TB NVMe SSD and I plenty like its performance and the enclosure gets at most warm to my touch.

Is it still difficult to obtain a suica / pasmo card in Tokyo? Last time I was there it was difficult to obtain the card.
This reminds me of something I discovered when implementing a request from a user that cheekily wanted to use "enhance" to zoom in on a map. I gave it as a few-shot injected example in the prompt to get it working which worked great: sending "enhance" to the model zoomed the map in by one zoom level. I noticed typing "enhance!!!" would zoom the map in by 2 or 3 levels!
Big parts of the legislation are good and long overdue. The big problem is that this effectively also includes many free/open-source software projects, as the definition for what constitutes "commercial" or "commercial-grade" is very broad. You host a FOSS library on Github that can/is used by others? Congrats, you now have to fulfil all requirements. Look for "Update on the European Cyber Resilience Act" by the Eclipse Foundation on YouTube for infos.
It is a hugely complicated system where reactors which are earlier in their fuel cycle ramp more leaving the later ones to run at 100% around the clock.

Ramping once is easy. Ramping continuously through the entire fuel cycle requires a meticulously planned fleet.
100° for green tea… madness!
It’s time for an uprising against the ad industry. There’s far too much money and power at play here. They’ve gone full throttle against at every turn and we just take it.

We need to organize ourselves and educate our friends and families. Let’s boycott the largest ad spenders and get some control back in our lives. I feel like we’re living in John Carpenter's They Live.
Which is precisely why it's impossible to point at exactly what the problem is.

Yes, all films have messaging, so why did messaging change? Was it not pro-women enough? The Little Mermaid came out in 89 with great success. Not diverse enough? If there is one thing that Disney deserves flak for is for plundering tales from all around the world. Pocahontas and Mulan were also massively successful, long ago.

The most recent "incidents" I recall are the new Little Mermaid being black, the seven little dwarves being of various ethnicities (With a Hispanic Snow White) and the whole deal regarding Star Wars. It gives the feeling that the messaging was deemed not enough. It's not enough to have films like Mulan or El Dorado, or Lilo & Stitch or Aladin, with a plethora of cultures and races, that which is white and male has to changed on top of that. I can't even imagine the reactions if Disney dared turn Mulan black, but The Little Mermaid is Danish, and since that country is predominantly white, it's fair game since that's what US left-wing politics dictate. Not to even mention what China's reaction would have been.

I think it's important to emphasize, we already had diversity, the current state of things is a different matter that, if I might add, looks ridiculous as hell from Europe.
Putin ofcourse wins but dies in July
The impetus is people wanting a robot to vacuum. That should be pretty easy to understand. They have become cloud enabled. Options for a reputable alternative with automation integration not well known, certainly to mass consumer market.
No--see licensing terms. As well, the software used is chosen by the implementors.

Now, if folks want regulation, introduce the Certified Professional Software Engineer. (Pay commensurate with tort, of course.)
Essentially when things in your peripheral vision are in focus, aka things close to your eye like screens, your eye thinks it’s over focusing, and it grows longer to defocus, causing myopia. Preventing focus in peripheral vision removes this signal. The eye is very dumb, it grows on response to light focus. The brain is not involved.
> A weak dollar is good if you own a company that relies on exports.

It depends on your exports. If your exports have cheaper alternatives, then a weak dollar is good.

If your exports are high utility and have no cheaper alternative, then a strong dollar is better.
I wonder what anti-cheat rootkits think of this device. Intercepting mouse input and slightly modifying it is probably a hallmark of hardware cheats.
there is insightful discussion right on lwn. I think changing the URL is cutting that out.
Sure, if it pans out. I'm all for syngas if it can be produced somewhat efficiently at scale. But right now lithium batteries and hydro are proven technologies that can be utilized. That's the difference.
I agree with most of this, but not the bit that says to use an old version on purpose.
Nobody else in the last 100 years managed to build a reusable rocket.

I've been where you are, right about when Zend Framework 2 was becoming hot. I first moved to Hacklang then Java. I reimplemented many of the things I knew from vanilla PHP into those languages, such as a dependency injector, routing, PSR-7, etc. It taught me a lot about strictly and statically typed languages. I then moved to Go and have diversified since. This is a route you can take if you want to move lower in the stack and you like strictness.

If you don't like it, Python is a very reasonable choice as it is very much in demand.
Wow the side facing the East River closer to 42nd has an obvious attempt to paper the weird angle over. Whereas the 43rd side has three step backs in the elevation, the 42nd side has only 1. This gets the eventually gets the building to an even square profile.
I've never understood why iPads can't be used as phones with an ordinary cellphone SIM. Is it simply because Apple doesn't want to pay a Qualcomm licensing fee or some equivalent? Who is it in the chain/ecosystem that does not want tablets being used as full phones, the carriers? Apple?
I'm curious about the study they cite - it smells bullshit, as most Tesla provided numbers.

In this study they calculate the 10-year maintenance cost as % of the car initial price. I'm very very curious, how the hell do they calculate that, for Tesla Model 3, that was released 6 years ago, and started shipping in real numbers only 3 years ago...

Those numbers are guestimatess basically.
From the study you linked:

"A likely explanation of the inverse association between pregnancy and myopia progression is the higher exposure to outdoor activities in pregnant women during their maternal leaves. Time of outdoors physical activity of 6.9 vs 5.2 h per week (P=0.002) in pregnant woman compared to non-pregnant woman."

Outdoor activities - the same thing as in the Wired article that's noted to slow down myopia progression. I don't think this study supports what you think it supports.

Also myopia didn't reverse, the rate of increase merely slowed down in the pregnant women.
Ivermectin actually works, as long as everyone in the household takes it for at least two weeks (length of the BB lifecycle).
Will look into that! Thank you!
Alternatively, Luau is a well-supported Lua variant with type checking and performance improvements, aimed more towards being a sandboxed embedded scripting environment.

https://luau-lang.org/
The money should go to the charging infrastructure.
Admittedly, it might have been a mistake as a demo / feature, but haven’t built embedding support yet. Working on it!
Well, for one I (and I presume many other people) would not vote for a platform with such an extremist position.
The idea of measuring the “efficiency” of the tax system in terms of money in per money out seems a bit odd to me in the first place. Taxes don’t create wealth, the job is to destroy it at the correct rate.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a “taxes are theft” dummy or anything like that. Taxes are an important knob in shaping the economy. But a better functioning tax collection agency should more effectively implement the rules of whose money is collected for deletion, not just collect more money generally.
django's main advantage is how consistent the API is, which enables a lot of plugins and libraries to be built around it and they stay valid for a very long time.

This makes development to be insanely productive, I joke that to create a new feature in django is "pip install <new feature>", check out your options here: https://djangopackages.org/
I managed to get lost there. An incredibly nice person stopped and asked in English - I’m a tall white person - if I needed help and insisted on walking me to my exit, several minutes out of her way.

I love Japan and traveling around there is easy.

Interesting, going "contrarian" could give us some life.
Will read about that.
Thank you!
I know the article implies an answer, but does anyone know how effective the sunlight through a window with modern UV blocking is?
Are batteries really too cheap for nuclear to compete?
Is that a pun in German as well or is it just funny coincidence of translation?
this article is excellent, thank you

(but i didn't think it was surprising)
Don't have to imagine, same thing is happening right now with LLMs.

I see "AI safety" brought up as a laughable attempt at stopping the progress of LLMs, when in reality the people talking about "AI safety" are the people trying to say that the majority will not benefit from this technology.
Off topic, but I use Pinterest extensively for work and pleasure. It has all sorts of funny bugs that don't really interfere with using it. One of them is content that looks spicy, but is grandfathered in so it doesn't get flagged. If you try to repin it on your board their AI gets upset. These two tricky images caught it out this week for me:

Does it do inter-frame compression at all?

Also, integrating with Ollama.ai or some other local LLM with an API server would be fantastic.
thank you, i have corrected the error
Sad to see, but not surprising.

In 2011, Google found that Microsoft was basically copying Google results. (It's actually an interesting story of how Google proved it. Search for "hiybbprqag")
You're right. Classes don't even provide such operators by default:

>>> class Foo:
... ...
...
>>> class Bar:
... ...
...
>>> a = Foo()
>>> b = Bar()
>>> a+b
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'Foo' and 'Bar'

If anything, the complaint is that pre-type-hinted Python was too quick to raise a TypeError without helping you know what types it was expecting. The only case I can think of where it was too lenient was where Python 2 conflated strings and bytes. That change was 90% of the pain of the Python 3 upgrade, and now they're different types.
Then it's going to be an impasse, because offering human labor for a price that is less than the generally agreed upon lowest amount a person can live on defeats the entire point of establishing a living wage.

Unskilled labor, especially individual laborers, have zero practical leverage. In the absence of government controls wages get driven to zero or unions form to claw back that leverage. So by all means abolish the minimum wage and living wage, I would love to see unions pick up even more steam.
I apologize for that post. You brought a personal thing into the thread, but that doesn’t mean it was ok for me to dig at it the way I did. Sorry.

[edit] to clarify my phrasing, I mean that just because you brought that into the thread, doesn’t make it fair game for the kind of post I made, which was too harsh by a long shot even if it hadn’t been about something personal.
Bracht and Paderborn are our postings closest to those (also Rhine D (MG), Soltau and Bielefeld)
I got mine from an ATM like machine years ago and it was very smooth.
China is barely building nuclear anymore. China added more wind and solar the past nine months than all of its nuclear reactors under construction will provide. Yes, that includes capacity factor.

Glock magazine bodies are plastic with integrated metal parts, so materials costs are lower but manufacturing is harder. Some companies make Glock-compatible magazines out of metal, and those have higher capacity in the same volume (eg: Shield Arms).

I think the Glock design is excellent, but the magazine is the weakest part. It's not bad, it's just not as good as some others.
The grid is not a network. It's a large single frequency balanced power distribution machine. It is, in and of itself, _the_ single point of failure, and there are significant tradeoffs in having lots of small capacity generators vs. small amounts of large capacity generators connected to it.

There's this cry for absolutism in this thread that's just absurd, on both sides. You want a wide multiplicity of power generation plant sizes and technologies, for what should be, at this point in history, solidly obvious reasons.

So, you want lots of Nuclear _and_ Solar. Seeing the two as competing shows just how monopolized our energy markets truly are.
