It sounds like the parking was underpriced.

EDIT I am rate-limited so can't reply, but this part:

"If you have 200 cars"

This is only the case if the demand for parking / driving is perfectly inelastic, which would be quite extraordinary. Empirically, when you charge for parking or institute toll roads, traffic tends to fall, in some cases sharply (because many journeys are low value). I repeat: if the parking spaces are still congested, the price should be raised until they're not.

Assuming the number of cars would stay the same is like the lump-of-labour fallacy. Lump of metal fallacy?

Then there's the supply side: guess what, that's not inelastic either! If it's profitable to provide parking, someone will build dedicated facilities for it and charge for their use. This may be an alien concept for some of you, but only because parking minimums cause such oversupply that they can't be run profitably. In cities where parking is priced sanely, it's unremarkable to see this.

"Cars will just overflow into adjacent neighbourhoods" okay, so charge for parking there too, until they don't. Duh.

I don't see why cars should get to sit somewhere rent-free but a human being can't. Urban land is valuable; if you want to occupy it, pay what it costs, ya fuckin welfare queens.

my language is harsh but it's hard not to be when I see so many americans (it's always americans) confidently claiming that life is impossible without free parking. but I live in a city without free parking and things work just fine. I can literally just look out of my window and it disproves all the doomsaying. every commute and trip to the supermarket is uneventful and not ruined in the slightest by a lack of free parking. you pay for parking and it's fine. it's literally just fine. I went to virginia one time, I saw literal acres and acres and acres of empty parking space, oceans of asphalt; nobody seemed to think anything of it but I thought it was mad, like some kind of braindead economic allocation fuckup from a communist country that we'd all laugh about. I wanted to shout: you are being terraformed by asphalt-based lifeforms! why do I have to explain to americans how a free market price mechanism works? on a forum for people to shill their california startups? I shouldn't need to tell you this!
Last time I had a look at it Redox didn't (even want to) implement Linux ABI compatibility.
I'm skeptical that industrial civilization can exist at all (at least on anything like a billions-of-people scale) with priced-in emissions, but I guess we'll see. Widespread famine and suffering are in store one way or the other (either because of climate change, or because of what we will need to do to fight climate change).
You can unlock the bootloader of the 2018 Fire HD 8 if you force it into download mode by opening it up and shorting the CLK test point to ground. Older tablets don't need to be opened up, it's all just software. Everything after that though has been unable to have the bootloader unlocked.

Do Tesla have revolutionary battery technology?

Who is this, and what did he invent?
People throwing a fit over some furry art hidden in the source code is dumb.

> And there's the belief that "tech skills" = "knowing where the Windows buttons are". OK, that is true in a limited sense, that "x competency" = "familiarity with x", but the point is you can be a very skilled sysadmin or programmer who still makes "noob" mistakes trying to configure Windows just because you're more familiar with MacOS or Linux

To be fair, the Linux world makes the same mistake, labeling a user as "not tech competent", "needing hand holding" or "afraid of the command line" just because they do not have the time and patience to put up with the amount of bullshit that (insert whatever distro here) throws at them.
i would also add, the inevitability of developing a unique musical style only to have it scooped 5 seconds after you debut a demo recording, and getting hit with cease and desist for performing your own piece.
I think people will just take the path of least resistance which is voting for building more parking again. They won’t punish themselves in the short term so that the neighborhood they live in is more affordable and walkable in 20 years, when they won’t even live there anymore by then.
Happy to help with clearing out the Ice Cream...
Yep. In some cases it might be better to keep a local representation of the data and have different view and business logic all on the client to create a presentation & interaction experience for the user.

Other times, centralizing it on the server might be best.

Some apps lend themselves much more to doing a lot of interesting work on the client (Figma is an example, going so far as to implementing their own rendering engine, for instance).
I take it this is the code to generate the images, mention was made of a data file, but it doesn't appear to be in the repo, from a brief check I didn't see any reference to a data file.

I am guessing the actual data file itself would be smaller than all of the images. HN readers should have a high chance of being able to run the code.

> while counting on the prowess of the hunting ability of Mr. Eckhardt in a tree to snipe the "enemy" officers

In an actual modern civil war, I would assume guerillas would be mostly using gun turrets built out of LEGO Technics or the like; suicide quadcopter RC drones (carrying e.g. grenades); and other extremely-low-cost impossible-to-restrict solutions to “leverage” ordinary weapons into being credible threats against a nation-state. (See also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFMvesTUjAA)

And I would assume that modern thought on the meaning of a “well-armed militia” that can fight back against attempted civil incursion, would thus be a militia that has both access to the materials for — and training in the use of — these sorts of improvised "leveraged" weapons systems.

I would go further to say that, in the modern day, if possession of any of the aforementioned "leveraged" weapons systems — for purposes of home or firing-range training in the prevention of civil incursion — is considered illegal, then you don't really have a "right to bear arms", you just have some lip-service for gun nuts.

Are there any statistics about the UK and how often a personal weapon was crucial for self defense? For me it seems like a rare occurrence, but I don't know.

> shooting sports

I currently live in Denmark where we have some of the very strict weapon laws. No switchblades, no throwing stars, no carpenter knife for carpenters on person unless he drive between jobs sites etc.

And we still have sports shooting. Even with no license I know a gun range that is inside a normal school where we had a team building exercise :) Was fun shooting.

You can't do that currently in the UK or what?
Maybe the factors in someone selecting arch linux are the same for someone likely to game on Linux?
Seems silly to think infrastructure means subsidising. Why don't you switch to dial up so that all the cables underneath the ocean can be slowly removed in order not to bother wild life over there?

But really, your whole life is sustained by providers driving. Taxes in the city comes from humans being able to physically move their bodies to the right location.

I mean, wouldn't it be ideal to get all the benefits of a complex industrial society without a complex industry? It sure would.
This is a project to investigate operating a datacenter off of industrial byproduct waste, using hydrogen run off as a stand-in for fuel cell refuse.

>Honda and Mitsubishi are to test the feasibility of powering a datacenter with fuel cells taken from electric vehicles, using hydrogen produced as a byproduct of an industrial process.

>Hydrogen for the fuel cell power station will be provided by a third Japanese company, Tokuyama Corporation, as a byproduct from its salt water electrolysis business, which manufactures about 50,000 tons of sodium hypochlorite each year.

>It is likely that the process Tokuyama uses in its salt water electrolysis is ultimately powered by fossil fuels, but the hydrogen is produced as a byproduct and this is currently just a demonstration project to evaluate the feasibility of integrated hydrogen business models.
This is mostly wrong. Longer variable names never significantly affected the time to run a compiler. Back in the day the run time for compilers was mostly determined by the overhead to load in each overlay (the whole compiler didn't fit in memory). That said, often there was a hard limit on the length of identifiers that wasn't terribly long (e.g. 8 characters), so very verbose names were not possible. The more obvious reasons for preferring short variable names are: 1. It's more like math, and for simple code looks nicer, and the descriptive variable name mafia were still in diapers and 2. typing was slow and painful, so was editing (use an ASR-33 with 'ed' to find out how painful).

What your greybeard might have been talking about was to do with interpreted languages where the interpreter had to parse through the code in some situations when performing a jump/goto. This meant that the more characters there were between the jump origin and destination, the slower execution was. I remember this being a factor in early 8-bit BASIC implementations, leading to a desire to make programs as terse as possible to achieve fast execution. Later implementations tokenized the source before execution, avoiding that problem.
I don't and that's why I say it would be curious to see the numbers that could potentially expose the bots-vs-users discrepancy.

Without numbers an educated guess looks like this:

1) Even if say 70% of bots set Windows UA, the remaining 30% of Linux UA will still skew the numbers noticeably because 30% is much more than the "natural" Linux market share.

2) Many bots don't modify the UA just because they don't care and are not being blocked often enough, not on the domains that they scrape.

3) Many bots don't modify the UA because they care a lot and follow the strategy of emulating a real chrome desktop user with high fidelity. In this case it's better to leave the real Linux Chrome UA than to risk being detected by discrepancies between the UA and the browser capabilities detected by JS.
Really cool and exciting project. A blender for 2d graphics would be such a valuable tool.

I’d love to see more of what that procedural graph editor looks like even if it’s just mockups and code.

Actually it is not just an issue with AD design, but the AD design only makes it slightly worse. The underlying issue is that biometrics are not required to retrieve the biometric key from DPAPI and instead of authenticating with Windows Hello, any program could just simply ask DPAPI for the key.
where can i download the data behind this?
Demos should cover the happy path really well. This opens modals that don't have an x to close them. If you click outside the modal, a common alternative way to close modals, it just picks a different color. The background fades to black so you can't see what you are picking. Then the back-stack grows large so you can't even back out of the demo normally. I'm not going to look at the code, even if it looks great this isn't an experience I'd ever want. There just too much basic stuff missing.

Maybe it's just a poor demo, are there better examples?

Sorry dude, but simply using pre-compiled coreutils in your org doesn’t force you to ship the code, nor does it pose any licensing issues.

If you link, or modify the code, then you have some license issues. FUD.
Sibling answered on macOS. Their scheduler prefers by default to run everything on performance and reserves efficiency for background OS tasks by default. On Linux you could set the affinity when running by pinning the cpu affinity either upfront through task set or programmatically at runtime (eg I have 32 cores and 0-15 are performance while the rest are efficiency)
I thought a generation of remote work would change attitudes about cities. Why are we still trying to cram into small spaces?
I suspect if you consider even just one several-year jail term, it ends up a lot more expensive, to say nothing of recidivism rates turning them into multiple

> "I think our country has used its land wastefully, like a drunk lottery winner that's squandered their newfound wealth," said resident Tai Hovanky.

This sounds like a comment from someone who lives in a city and doesn’t get out. There is an incredible, vast, mind-boggling amount of empty space in the US. I have flown and driven across the country many times. City dwellers are occupying a fraction of 1% of the space available.

The idea that we must live in hyper-dense cities is utter nonsense. If you like that lifestyle, great, but it’s not reasonable to force it on everyone else.
This is done across many disciplines to try and aide in new discovery paths. Typically you’re limited in exactly what you can simulate and often times solution candidates may be found that are impractical, currently impossible, or perhaps actually impossible to produce. Sometimes you can add search constraints to tie simulations together to narrow down such false positive solutions found but not always. Heck in some cases it’s literally cheaper and more accurate to do the bench science no matter how alluring virtualized renditions may be.

Most fields are still left with piles and piles of potential solutions to sort through. They often select candidates that are the cheapest and most practical to approach or they have high suspicion of success and pursue those. At the end of the day though we don’t have full universe simulators at every scale we’d want, we have very specific area simulators within very specific bounds. You have to go out an empirically test these things.

But this is and has already been going on for decades across most disciplines I’ve interacted with, they just weren’t using DNN or LLMs at the time but domains are adopting these as well to leverage where feasible in the search process.

I work with a variety of people interested in leveraging simulation and everyone wants to take the successes they see in LLMs or say RL from AlphaStar or AlphaGo and apply them in their domain. It’s alluring, I get it, the issue is that we often lack enough real understanding in domains and the science isn’t as airtight and people think it is, its too general or narrow, or on some cases we have good suspicion of how to build better more accurate simulations but there’s not enough compute power or energy in the world to make them currently practical, so we need to take some tradeoffs and live with less accurate and detailed simulation which leads to inaccurate representations of reality and ultimately inaccurate solution suggestion candidates.

> All of the office workers use windows

If you define "office workers" as people who use Windows then sure. Even if we don't count tech quite a few people still use Macs (of course depends on country area but Apple seems to have very high market share amongst architects (of course not engineers but I think Linux is overrepresented there), designers etc. where I am).
Coreutils might be everywhere, but uutils will only be wherever LLVM targets, because Rust isn't as portable as C. It's much easier to declare yourself cross-platform when you're not actually competing with real cross-platform software (like coreutils).
My understanding of the controversy around this project and/or its developer:

- The repository, as well as some of the dev’s other projects, contained furry porn. I believe this has since been removed from Thorium.

- The Thorium website also contained an archive of a different website that existed to dissuade people from infant circumcision. In my view, this is a justified viewpoint, though I know not everyone may agree. Regardless of your stance on it, though, I think we can all agree that this is neither a relevant or professional thing to include in a browser project, /nor child pornography/. CP accusations are extremely serious and I have seen no evidence to suggest they’re justified.

All in all, it appears that what started as a small pet project, along with the dev’s personal views and quirks, quickly gained traction amongst others who were then taken aback by seeing content they didn’t expect. I can’t comment on the value of Thorium from a technical perspective, but it seems a shame to spread misinformation about a developer who doesn’t seem to have done anything particularly reprehensible.

This is all my present understanding. If I’ve missed anything, I’d welcome corrections.
Worked for Europe. Everyone there lives in houses perhaps only half the size of a typical US home, and they're happy with it. Most people have the option to go live in the countryside, have a big house and drive a car, all for the same money, yet they choose to have a small city apartment and use public transport.

No kidding! I briefly looked into mushroom foraging, but after learning how similar tasty mushrooms and you-will-die-a-quick-painful-death ones looked, I quickly lost all interest. The payoffs are about as asymmetric as it gets. Blindly following a random phone app identificaton makes it even worse.
I think the recent New York Times suit amply demonstrates the fact that the LLMs are largely databases of existing text.

Would you also say that about a savant who can recall entire books with two or three nines' worth of accuracy? Would you say that he or she is just a "database"?

Or that a savant who can multiply large numbers in their head is just a "calculator?"
Yes, it's pretty clear everyone is. What's your point?
> Without readily available and reliable public transportation

Cool. Let's do that, too!
Very strange to leave off by far the #1 issue which is habitat destruction.
There was a similar project but for new tab of browser. It had a countdown timer with seconds remaining.

The problem with both approaches is our brain gets desensitized to both the approaches after some time and it has no effect on us.
Your comment is completely wrong, at least as it applies to Austin as explained in the article.

Parking minimums are simply a requirement that if you build an apartment building with N apartments, you need to include a number of parking spots that is a function of N. The idea being that if you're building a number of places for people to live, the vast majority of them (especially in Austin) will need a place to park, and it's not really fair for you to externalize that need onto public streets just so you can make more money by adding more apartments with no parking.

That's the argument anyway, and it makes sense. The counter argument is that it also keeps us as a car-dependent city, and makes it harder to build affordable housing.

I'm not really convinced of the counter argument, at least in Austin. Public transportation (or, basically any transportation) is notoriously bad in Austin, and for decades we've basically had the stance "if you don't build it, they won't come", but that hasn't quite worked out.
No, the majority of companies shipping a product like coreutils don't care if it's GPL. They are extremely unlikely to modify it and meeting the licensing requirements with a source offer is not burdensome. The binaries aren't linked against so there isn't some viral nature.

The issue is with GPLv3.

So yeah...
Being transformative is also not, on its own, sufficient to be a fair use. It's just one, albeit important, factor in the analysis. If they are transformative, that also means the weights are inherently a derivative work.

That's an unfair characterisation, sometimes they're actively user hostile instead of just poorly designed.
It would be decentralized in the fact that any group could create their own union without permission from anyone else. Then they could go about joining an established union or forming one of their own once they have enough people to vote for one. However they would still be able to engage in collective action to some extent.

The application wouldn't just be one large union, but thousands of small ones around the world that can talk to each other.
Yes. If you have LLMNR, NTLM enabled, unsigned SMB allowed, and nonencrypted LDAP bindings then your domain controller can be popped with zero effort by metasploit.

Legacy protocols can be very sticky and most repeat pentest engagements I am able to use the same exact method every time because they will never get addressed. Modern windows (since like vista-era) will use better stuff out of the box but will also allow downgrade attacks in the name of compatibility.

Hell, I still find SMBv1 in a lot of places.
It seems reasonable given that the vast majority of the cats in this case aren't natural per se, they are pets kept by humans.
I wish there was a journal that only published experiments that have been replicated. That would save so much time for many of us who want to know what is, and not what's being tried.
Sounds like a delicious problem to solve.
As noted by sibling, CLRS (https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262046305/introduction-to-algor...) is perhaps the reigning king of algorithms textbooks.

I haven't read it myself, but Algorithm Design Manual (https://www.amazon.com/Algorithm-Design-Manual-Computer-Scie...) also tends to rank high on recommendation lists, and from looking at its table of contents, it does complement CLRS nicely--there looks to be a better selection of things like constraint satisfication or computational geometry.
