We have a lot safer transportation systems than private cars but don't deploy them. Is this basically killing people too? Driving is murder?
Thoughts on VoC Analysis?
Anyone here actively use some kind of Voice of Customer tool?

My partner and I are considering building a VoC tool that could ethically mine consumer data online , filter it, and present insights in the form of a software (think SEMrush type dashboard).

Would this be of value? What kind of alternatives already exist for this?
Not sure if it was a joke, but shouldn't a microwave oven shield the 2.4 GHz band pretty well?
Lots of views, fresh air if possible, warm spots for the cat to sleep and more than one, some place with either wildlife and/or human activity, and of course scratching pads/tower.

Granted, I do all of this and my cat (a gift from the pandemic someone dumped on the side of a mountain for me to find, despite not wanting to be a pet owner, thanks humans!) still manages to find a way to sleep on equipment I don't want to have to replace...

Or more or less automate the highway so that vehicles share information back and forth. Huge task, but goes a long way towards helping big heavy vehicles have information about what is ahead.

> …you can cut their speed say 33%…

You probably can’t have cars going 70 or faster sharing the road with trucks going a steady 45.
> What sort of human is so intolerant?

In my experience? Cat owners.
> The challenge is the human proteins needed to make each of these to happen can conflict with each other. The proteins — created by the genes — needed for risk taking may be the ones that dampen good listening. There are genetic trade offs, in that you cannot optimize all traits. In other words there are genetic costs for each trait. To raise IQ might cost lowering something else, such as empathy. It’s not that there is a zero-sum quantity being conserved, it’s that genes cannot do all that is possible. They are hugely constrained by each other. It is like trying to design a machine: it cannot optimize all properties; it cannot be fastest, lightest, strongest, and cheapest at the same time. Everything is a trade off. Performance, reliability, speed, cost — all are trade off between them. Genes and traits also operate under the same regime of trade offs. There are no free lunches.

Untrue.
The transition to full AV-only roads will be slower and quicker than most people think. It will take a long time still for AV technology to be perfected, but once it is proven we will see various bans on human drivers coming in rather quickly. Texas has already been talking about dedicated corridors for AV trucks.
See the crud around john deer tractors. Not being able to modify your word processor is one thing, being unable to repair thousands of dollars of agriculture equipment is much worse.

Yeah, I should clarify that my response is in anticipation of the comment sections I often see on hackernews about self driving cars, rather than arguments from the self driving car companies themselves. Waymo won't say "we're slightly better than people, let us on your roadways" but I feel like every time I see something about self driving on Hackernews there's a handful of commenters taking the hyper-utilitarian viewpoint of "they're better than people, we all need to let the robots do driving for us" which will never convince anyone outside these comment sections.
We should also demand that these companies are run by engineers, not MBA types. Otherwise, we'd end up with neglect of safety measures as seen at Boeing. And I'm not sure if any kind of external incentive could change that.
Cloud-native just means container-first in this context. Nothing is locally installed and the desktop gui itself runs as a container.

The climate of layoffs has sent some jolt to my mind that I started building up my emergency nest that was ignored for too long.

Hopefully, I can build it to a comfortable state before I need it in the future. If I’m lucky and I didn’t need to dip into it, then it cushions the retirement times, whenever that is..

Another thought in my mind is slowly nurturing other things I can do on the side such that it can be a lower paying but more satisfying job when I can afford to make the switch.
Climate emergency?
Depends how cheap gene editing gets. If you can mass-produce adenoviruses that improve iq 15 points and health significantly, that's going to be way cheaper than nutrition, forget education and of course opportunity.

Of course, better genes means nutrition, education and opportunity go further
Yes, that's why I'm asking here. Maybe someone else has some insight.

Summary:

1. WAFs require entire requests to be buffered in order to be scanned before the server sees them. This can require lots of RAM.

2. WAFs scan requests with all sorts of hacky rules, which takes gobs of CPU time.

3. The hacky rules look for programming language syntax, for which the attackers can easily find alternative expressions to get around the rules.

4. ... yet, WAFs have high false positive rates.

5. All that kludgly processing is a security weakness. WAFs tend to be closed source behemoths written in low-level languages.
> Male and female pairings used to be more restricted geographically and by limited social graph sizes, both of which restrictions have been removed.

Wouldn’t this have created local incel populations?

Have the geographic restrictions really been eliminated? Are people flying all over the country to find mates ?
Thank you! I tried using Brotli on the original and the compressed PNG. It was several bytes larger when run through Brotli.
The context here is bypassing the canal for a railroad across Mexico. While you have described the problem with the Jones act, the premises is we are loading/unloading in Mexico that changes a lot. Smaller ships can go to many different ports - large ones would probably still got to North Carolina, but we can sort in Mexico which means some (likely small) shipping company can run routes to smaller ports, they can take exports from those smaller ports and then sorting in Mexico can get it on/off the right ships. For US east coast to cargo that is crossing the pacific this makes sense (it doesn't make sense for cargo crossing the Atlantic though, so the Jones act is still a problem)
This technique has been pretty popular among the demoscene community, where the size of the programs are often restricted to 4K or less. The PNG compression (ie DEFLATE compression) has been used as a way to compress the source code of javascript demos, in order to reduce the final code size. There are several "packers" that can convert javascript source files into self-executing PNG+HTML files, such as JsExe: https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=59298
Personal income after tax from 2019 to 2021 went up from $27,700 to $28,800 or about 4%. I won't call that trivial but I would hardly call that inline with the increase in costs we've seen. I don't see more direct data after that for salary but after tax household income was down in 2022:

https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2023/09/median-househ...

I think the cost of housing is probably the most important thing to look at since, for most people, it is the highest monthly bill. I think all of the various cost increases that make existing harder are important to look at though.
We have no evidence that the failures are randomly distributed. What about when the failure mode is such that any time there’s not a massive blizzard outside, it works great. But when there is… icecat.
It's worth noting that the submitter didn't use the actual title, and TFA doesn't characterize Bluefin as a "cloud-native Linux", but a distribution made by "cloud-native nerds" that integrates tools generally associated with cloud development (kind, flux, helm, kubectl).
That's a bit of hyperbole. Lots of jobs take their toll on your health. That's nothing special about truck drivers, and it doesn't mean we "let them die".

And you're ignoring the fact that not requiring a driver is significantly cheaper. And when it's speed versus cost, cost generally wins. So yes, society is absolutely going to be fine with trucks pausing in bad weather, because it means cheaper shipping.

(And stuff that is urgent and requires next-day delivery is sent across the country by plane anyways, not by truck.)

That's not entirely true, Airbus is a participant in most European military aircraft projects. They participated in Eurofighter for example and are part of the FCAS program.

It's true to the extent that the US does a lot more and broader military procurement in general, so Boeing gets a smaller piece of a much bigger pie. Wheras Airbus is getting a piece of most European projects as a member of one consortium or another, it's just a smaller pie.
I'll throw another anecdote to the pile. I use a split, angled keyboard with a nonstandard keyboard layout for over a year now and I can use normal keyboards just fine.
A corollary of this is that a language probably needs to be able to interop with C++ to have any chance of being able to replace C++, so that the LLVMs and web browsers of the world can migrate incrementally. GCC was able to migrate from C to C++ because of this, and a migration from C++ to some other PL would need to work similarly.
Mindustry[1] is quite similar.

Sorry, I wasn't clear enough. The term is perfectly fine, it's simply too generalized. So if other's want to use other terms to better describe it, I support that; no matter who was first. Otherwise we end up in another "systems programming" situation.

My offhanded remark about "leetcode enthusiasts" is about people trying to strongarm/gatekeep a, frankly, way too generalized phrase to mean a very specific thing. They can call it that all they want. It's a correct phrase for that. Just don't get mad when someone else refers to "code morphing" as "dynamic programming".

> Modern programming languages refering to "dynamic" things in various circumstances made the term confusing so you would have to blame modern programming languages rather than "leecode enthusiasts".

Modern programmers and engineers used the word dictated for the functionality by the language they communicate in. You're just further reinforcing my point that the phrase is too generalized.

Or, to give you an analogy that might finally make it click. It would be like if I called all "string metric" problems "string programming".
Is this not the most obvious statement ever? At the most basic level, trucking requires loading and unloading freight, whereas rideshare passengers load and unload themselves.

I don't claim to never make memory safety mistakes in C++. I just claim that it's very rare. The overwhelming majority of my bugs are bugs in business logic.

At my day job, I work on a project that's 75% C++ and 25% C#. In the code that we've shipped, when there's a crash in code that I've written, (as opposed to business logic bugs) it's usually a memory safety mistake in C#. There was an interesting architectural choice written a decade before I joined the company where most classes have a synchronous constructor, then an asynchronous initializer, then an asynchronous uninitializer, then a destructor that gets run by the GC. There's no end to bugs relating to crashes because the initializer hasn't been run yet or the uninitializer has already been run.

When I get C++ bugs put across my desk in code that we've shipped to customers, it's usually a bug somewhere else. For instance, the last crash dump that we've gotten from customers in C++ is because a we called a Windows UTF-8/16 conversion function. The Windows function itself is all raw pointer nonsense, so we put a pretty wrapper around it so you put a std::string_view in and get a std::wstring out, or you put a std::wstring_view in and get a std::string out. Well, it turns out Windows is a fucking dogshit operating system. If you initialize a thread "wrong", ie, by calling the C11 function thrd_create, and your locale is set to a CJK language, it will ignore you when you tell it the code page of the multibyte string is UTF-8 and will assume it's the system locale's code page, and will call abort() when it hits a UTF-8 sequence. (instead of perhaps returning an error or null pointer) Those are the sorts of C++ crash bugs that I deal with.

My 'secret' to dealing with memory in C++ is to not deal with it. Make the STL do everything. Make RAII do everything. Can this object be POD with constexpr accessors? Do that. Can these methods be const? Do that. Can these objects live in a STL/boost container? Do that. Do they need to live in a unique_ptr/shared_ptr instead? Fine I guess but it would really be better off as a value instead. Does this class need to have a special destructor/copy constructor/move constructor? Find some other way to do it. If you must, try to find some other way to do it anyway. If you must, spend like 10x as much time scrutinizing it, the way a Rust programmer would do with unsafe. If thing must have special destructor/copy/move constructors, factor out all of the things that need special consideration into a class with the barest minimum. If it must have a special destructor, explicitly delete the copy/move constructors/operators if you can. Avoid indexing into arrays; use range based for loops, or <algorithm> stuffs like transform, reduce, or transform_reduce. The solution isn't to use vector::at() (which does bounds checks) instead of vector::operator[] (which doesn't) the solution is to not use indexes at all.
Well that's not how you need to test it really and is not an objective measure. That's a badly posed question. It should be compared to other forms of therapy. And the criteria for entering therapy needs to be understood.
An interesting read and a good share.

Every time I see that other people are contemplating these subjects, I notice that they hit on many of my own considerations and miss many of the big picture things I consider essential.

I think this will evolve into tribalism of mental models for organizing information. More vi vs emacs energy to go around in the decades to come.
> Harassment using pictures of yourself is different: That's harassment, and should be frowned upon. They are still using simple nudity to do it, and the nudity isn't the issue.

If you had to view that harassment secondhand every single day, wouldn't you feel a little disgusted after a while?

Sure, you can look at it and say "this isn't about me", but does that make the disgust go away?
Basically any canned food you normally have. You can eat it hot or cold. Want it to be interesting - get some granulated garlic, hot sauce, and toasted sesame oil (basically all the shelf stable spices etc that you already have).
If the cowboy developer is the boss they can still just wrap everything in unsafe blocks. But I think I'd take that over the C++ new/delete/malloc/free salad.
I would absolutely pay the extra cost to not have to drive my car.

Self-hosted runners is the way to go, IMHO. Especially if you have bare metal resources. I love how fast my builds are with 16 cores, and gobs of ram.
> This includes the awesome non-Bluetooth 1000hz-rate Nordic Semiconductor wireless feature of the NuPhy Air keyboards!

It seems like the code doesn't actually contain the RF firmware, though - it's just the glue to talk to an external chip which essentially acts as a "modem".

The reason ZMK uses the MIT license - and proper RF support cannot be added to QMK - is that Nordic's RF stack drivers use a license which isn't compatible with GPL. This means if you want to do wireless stuff inside the actual keyboard firmware you can't use QMK.

There is of course a fork out there doing exactly this because nothing is technically stopping you, but you're legally not allowed to combine the two.
“Sit” might not be the right verb here.
Have a couple of these devices - the way they work is that they make the reader coil enormous compared to a flat RFID reader. The cat basically walks through it. Reading seems to work fine, although I'm not sure if it would if the chip had migrated far down the torso.
Too soon. Its always too soon.
Thanks for reading and yes you are right, the input audios are clips of music;

MusicCaps [1] is a dataset containing pairs of music audio and natural language description of the clip; the reason why the result is good imo is because the trained model was able to generate a description with features of the ground truth

Australia has there system of 'road trains' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXL9UfP6FMk. They use these because they have very long sections of highway that are suitable. The USA has a smaller length version used on the controlled access interstates, with the same hookup as tractor trailers, with the trains broken down to 1 or 2 trailers for local delivery(usually the third one is shorter and is called a 'pup' trailer. Very common in gasoline/oil delivery.
On larger flat areas, with automobiles forbidden, it would be quite doable to have longer trains, with the hauling force/strength suited to the grade. We already do this with piggybacked trailers on flatbedded rail cars, some of which can have side load/unload of trailers for granular load access at stretches to avoid having to unload them all to get at one. Railyards do this via switching 'hump-yards' where long trains are distributed car by car. Here is one in operation, usually the hump has enough height to allow gravity sorting and there are numerous remotely operated switches where a long load of 100-200 cars is sent over the hump one at a time and assembled into trains of cars on diverse lines for other geographic destinations, with some send directly for local delivery, both as unit containers to be picked of by special top/bottom/side lift fork lifts(locked load type).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0CUtE5-kKQ

I can see that this would allow integration with road trains, as methods evolve.

I saw several posts that spoke about the ground level interaction of bicycle traffic and car traffic being dangerous to bicycle traffic. Years ago we had elevated railways, that came to be unsightly, but functional ways to mix subways(elways) - it made me think that elevated bike-ways might work to reduce bike/car interactions. Bikes are so much lighter in weight that a suspended bike 'mono-road' would work well, it could even be roofed against weather. It has been done in a few places, and seems to work.

I am quite in love with the touchpads on my Steam Deck. Has anyone here seen a keyboard that incorporates such devices? (1.5” square haptic feedback pads, one under each thumb.)
This isn't like that at all - that startup (Loyal) is running their own clinical trial, not relying on the aging project.
That might be more a result of capitalist motivations i.e: funnel money to the share holders / owners and C-suite and away from workers. Which is much more direct than someone buying legos or a stove.

We can either legislate that or they need an effective union.
I would love to know why it's based on Fedora instead of Debian since it seems to be highly influenced by Ubuntu.

EDIT a few minutes of reading and I seem to get it now. this project and some of the others (Silverblue specifically but also devbox and devpod) have been under my radar but I think I'm going to try this out for a bit.

Fyi research apparently shows that mentally unwell people are more likely to be physically harmful to others as compared with the average. Sounded weird to me but apparently there's some data.
No, the OS itself is a read-only container image booted on bare metal (via OSTree) and includes the tools usually used to build container images (used for kubernetes etc), as well as pushing desktop applications via Flatpak.
hard to find IRL because it costs a lot. you have to pay them when they are not er.. working. you have to pay expenses. you have to buy both weapons and ammo, and make sure those weapons are destroyed and gone after each hit. the hitman will require support id est people following the target day and night for weeks so you and the hitman know when to er... hit. exfiltring your hitman. etc.

it takes a lot of people to have this to work. and money. and of course, the police, the government and all intelligence agencies are on the lookout for you.
