SFPD, per stats, basically stopped enforcing traffic laws during Covid/BLM.

This leads to an overall rise in crime, as traffic stops catch way more than speeders. Criminals tend to break many laws habitually, so it is a wide net. The car bippers tend to speed off (with the famous car flying down a ramp last year as an example).

The whole chain is broken though, Brooke Jenkins as the DA is running into massive issues with SF judges who simply won't prosecute.

Big chance this will end up in another example of anarcho-tyranny. Lots of citizens will pay their fines, but the worst offenders will simple ignore the various letters - and nothing will be enforced.

Let's see.
I'm still left not quite certain what would happen if they were hit with another L3 DDOS tomorrow.

As per the page you linked to, FA law applies only to this who engage in “political activity”, which most people (regardless of the country) tend not to do.
Do you have a source on that? I am curious if it’s a widespread issue or very rare.

Trade off: For a few seconds some requests were slower.

DNS Groups w/ retries is a nifty mechanism for these things.

Can you explain what the word "regenerative" means in the context of an ICE vehicle decelerating? Your description above doesn't indicate that anything is being generated.

You indicate that the generative impact seems trivial, but this is not the case for me. In my PHEV, I get an additional mile of range when I brake regeneratively getting off the freeway. This is non-trivial in a vehicle that only offers about 12 miles of EV range. It's one of the reasons that my average MPG hovers between 90 and 100.
I struggle to think what should be done when someone is dragging your children away to Russia faster than the courts can stop.

Obviously not murder, but the desperation must have been a pit of despair. The children are about 20 now (draft age) and were in Russia shortly after the case. They may very well

You’re welcome. Appreciate your feedback ;)
I wonder how much of the weight comes from screens and cameras and sensors (which must be in the glasses) vs CPU and memory and radios and the like?

Because the latter could be moved to the back for balance it, or even down to the battery pack if an umbilical that could handle that much bandwidth was available.

It's not exactly a staple food for you, is what you mean.

I know plenty of people in fishing communities that eat lobster at the same rate you may eat hamburgers or pasta. One of my close friends growing up had a lobster fisherman father, and they ate it once a day. That and deer/moose meat was the staple food.

Edit: The goal of this comment was not to say that this is incorrect, I am for this change. My goal was just to say I feel there are places where it is staple. That's it.
And if you want something a bit more relaxed and updated, The Dude De Ching[1], is quite good. It's a rewrite based around the core concepts of Dudeism, a fan-made spiritual practice based on the character "The Dude" from The Big Lebowski.

Prosecution rate is conditioned on the cases presented, so it’s not an independent variable. You can’t infer much from it being constant over time.
You shouldn't have been voted down. I've been using IMAP, SMTP, and Pop3 for the past 30 years without a single security incident. Meanwhile, I've had many accidental lockout problems and even had to abandon accounts because of 2-factor authentication and other paranoid security measures like arbitrary "device identification" algorithms. I swear to God the goal of this security theater is only to force customers into web-based logins so contents of emails and user behavior can be tracked in an Orwellian fashion.
In the US, as I understand it, you can go through a process (not free) to get your arrest record expunged and then you can legally answer no to that question. Still messed up but there is a path at least.
one of my favorite things from reading Nietzsche is that he considered Stoic's to be kill-joy's :)

And as much as I like reading "Meditations" when I get too immersed in self-critic and self-control I remember Nietzsche and feel much better again.

Monetization aside. They have produced or augmented some of the most widely used products
If a substance is abundant in the environment, you don’t need to spend your energy and reduce fitness in other areas to produce it on your own. Many species as a result might need things like certain amino acids found in their food that they don’t produce on their own, instead taking advantage of what is there. That logic shouldn’t really stop at nutrients or amino acids. There is no doubt an advantage to seeking out environmental compounds that act as neurotransmitters, saving you from having to spend energy generating those compounds internally.
Businesses like SpaceX and Blue Origin are really prestige/passion projects, not normal capitalist enterprises which are all just about making a buck.
System 76 laptops are usually very pricey, but this is actually a reasonable margin for a good desktop system assembler.
That depends on the distances involved - eg if you want to generate cheap solar electricity in the Middle East or South America and export it to Europe or North America (which is something people in the industry have discussed as being potentially economical in the long term) this isn't really practical.
I don't know, I didn't say that I agree with NoPedantsThanks. But Skeuomorphism was a real hype in the 00s. But I think it got mostly popular through Apple/Steve Jobs.

This for cases when you don't have an idea how long is left.
This is right. The flip side is that having many talented software engineers renders each one slightly more dispensable. You want to find the right Goldilocks niche. Not too rare that mobility is limited, but not too prevalent that compensation suffers.

What (not) to do and when you consider adding new tools to your tech stack
This is a bit like saying "rainfall doesn't cause flooding - rivers do". But yes, rainfall somewhere created the river.

In an environment with too much money, of course corporations are going to have high profit margins! But those profits will also go back into the economy in the form of purchases or capital or hiring or etc. All of which will drive inflation.

In an inflationary environment, the kind we haven't had for 40 years (when the report mysteriously ends), profits are always going to look good because you are buying inputs at a lower price level than you are selling the outputs for.

And when there is so much money in the economy, you will be raising prices just to keep products on the shelves. And making input costs drop (because of the massive supply side economic interventions) will only leave more money in the economy. Consumer spending is already at an all-time high - we're at new price levels given the quantity of money and there's no pressure to start dropping prices.

> The findings come as the Federal Reserve has hiked interest rates to their highest point in 20 years. The report casts serious doubt on the need for further interest rate hikes, and instead calls for stronger policies to rein in “corporate profiteering”.

Instead of solving the fundamental problems, how about we play a never-ending game of whack-a-mole?

Inflation was a solved problem 40 years. Prices are just a function of how much money is chasing after how many goods. It's always a money supply issue. But we did such a good job of fighting it for so long that we have an entire generation of economists and experts who have had an entire career without ever having to account for inflation.

Unless I misunderstood isn't that almost the exact same thing though? When getting hired they will ask you to fill out some forms prior to your background check that explicitly give the permission to run a background check. I never tried to refuse but I doubt it would be welcomed.
Major shifts in behavior from the lead developer does not concern you? Overthrowing the dependencies used and opting in for more experimental and not as battletested JS frameworks does not alarm you?

Going against a strong personal opinion after stagnation of development and a complete pivot on multiple levels is normal to you?

Shall I mention mainframes still run COBOL? Should I introduce the latest version of this library to achieve the same? You do know it entails more chance of something wrong happening, and yes the developer is Russian, didn't we have an advisory against Kaspersky?

Why would a repository with six figure stars be negligible and Kaspersky not? Please read other comments as well. Thanks for your perspective and have a great weekend.
I bought a System76 desktop a couple of years ago with an rtx 3090 for some AI work and have been super happy with it.

It was a bit expensive, but everything "just works", it's super well built, and I've had no issues for 2 years. They definitely know what they're doing

It comes assembled? Presumably that means also it was tested and has some assurance that it works… I imagine they have some labor cost in there too
Graphene is the future and Brazil is the largest country that has this resource, it could be the best country in the world.
The one that frustrates me the most is Home Depot's HubSpace. You do not have to link the devices to the router. They can be operated by Bluetooth.

However, the app to control them cannot work without a connection to the server. It has no local device functions at all. It won't even launch if their servers are offline.

That's just next-level stupid to me. Why build in a useless option? If Bluetooth won't work without a server connection anyway, what's the point?
To be clear, this is an open-source frontend for a not-open-source AI provider. It's calling OpenAI behind the scenes.
Have those ever existed? https://xkcd.com/612/

Think of an app doing an AJAX call to load something from a database:

1. App sends HTTP request

2. Load balancer gets request, sends it to actual server (or lambda or whatever)

3. Server gets request, makes database query

4. Database gets query, executes it against data

5. Data is returned to server

6. Server returns to load balancer

7. Load balancer returns data to client

Every single one of those points is a potential delay, and a potential failure point, and unpredictable. You don't know if the servers are heavily loaded or not, or if something is containerized and doing a cold start. You don't know if your query is going to return 1KB or 1GB of data.

It's not that it isn't possible to do something better than a spinner, but it's a really hard problem to predict "done". In most cases -- for example if your 95th percentile response time is <200ms -- the cost to do it doesn't justify the effort.

I used a Cray around 1998 (from the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center IIRC) and it was super fast on very particular tasks. Specifically, there was some type of processing pipeline that once you had it set up, it would produce a stream of calculations very quickly.

I wonder if the Raspberry Pi is faster on all tasks, or is there some type of computation the old Cray is still competitive?
This is likely not a major issue for the first version. It’s is the general range of other VR headsets. Mostly a decent strap design will make it comfortable to wear for an hour, maybe two. The eye strain from a fixed lens means you won’t want to wear it much longer than that anyway.

Future versions will need to get a lot lighter and smaller to go beyond gaming and short uses to be something you’d use as much as a phone or laptop.
When I was in Massachusetts I went to a museum with an exhibit on the history of the fishing industry. At first they hunted whales near the surface, until there where no more whales in the Atlantic. There was actually a map diagraming how each year the whaling fleet needed to travel further and further south. Then it was cod. Then halibut. And now lobster. Overt two centuries, the industry systematically cleaned out species in order from sea surface to sea bottom.
Not only is this now driven by private equity decisions, but the health care system WAS non-profit. In my opinion, profit-driven decisions result in "enshitification" to the consumer.

I don’t think these policies last long enough to show up on an evolutionary timescale.

My fundamental question is why new competitors cant compete on price with monopolies if monopolies have such bloated profit margins.

Lithium is not actually that rare. We are just now spending a lot of effort to find more of it.
I agree it would get more complicated, but there are some nice things we could get with text.

For example, a “turn right heading 320” or “proceed direct BUXOM” could become a popup on the screen, which can then be pushed straight to the FMS with a single press. The plane could also report its active flight plan and mode (i.e., whether it’s tracking a course or following a heading) which would confirm whatever ATC expects the plane to be doing.

There’s a myriad of downsides to this, including bad actors sending instructions to pilots without ATC being aware, so in balance this might be overall worse than just keeping it simple.
The same thing, for all intensive purposes.
anyone make a PDF version of this?

Interesting article. I assume that literally no one REALLY cares about status. Credentials, degrees, accomplishments, titles impress no one. Maybe 1% of the people might think - "Oh that's cool!" at first, but then it wears off. Leverage (what can they do for me) and "good energy" (I feel my best around them) trump all of the "status" nonsense.
Yes.

But

1. so has their processing power

2. lots of the problem (first page of results filled with ads that looks like content, including spam in the results and not giving us a block option) are not related to scale

3. Smaller (search.marginalia.nu) and larger (kagi.com) competitors keep demonstrating that it is possible to implement doublequotes correctly and not include results I didn't ask for - even in 2024.
Isn't that in the noise though? SF does not have a lot of violent crime to begin with, and rape is not something that the police often catch anyways (rather it is reported than acted on by the police). Staffing levels have also fallen drastically, peaking at 1900 officers in 2017 compared to 1600 in 2023, while population is increasing at the same time.
Was never warned, when we went full vdi people were very into it. It was a huge bonus to us as a small IT dept being able to maintain and manage a large infrastructure. I think vdi is essentially dead until the swing back to on prem solutions.

> Calling Alternative for Germany "Nazis" is nonsense. > > Countries have a right to set their own immigration policies, and many Europeans aren't happy with their respective countries' policies. So, they're voting for change, as is their right.

It's not like that we in Germany do not have immigration laws. So, what that people vote for?

> Countries have a right to set their own immigration policies, and many Europeans aren't happy with their respective countries' policies. So, they're voting for change, as is their right.

Why mix in Europe into that? We decided to be part of Europe and we have quite good experiences with that. Within Europe each one member of the European community is free to travel and work (with still some stoppers, like if you can't afford your life in xx, you have to leave after 3 months back to your European home country.)

That's the laws on European level, that the members needs to follow. All members wanted that laws once when forming the European ideas and laws.

So.. reading that all the countries should have a right to set their own rules.. yes! They should. In Europe it has been decided together with the member countries to have the immigration laws like they are. They used their opportunities to set their immigration laws on European level.
May be, the writer of such sentences uses his opportunity to spread some EU-xit ideas supported by "every country should have.." .. yes .. But we're a community! And each try to break that bond - you guess, is the agenda of the right wing. They can't push their ideas, because EU law will be broken then. So, first break EU.. lol
They grow bigger because they get to live longer?
I learned to drive mechanical transmissions, and in fact my pickup truck is the first vehicle I've ever owned with an automatic transmission. I also ride motorcycles. "One pedal" or "compression" braking is a given; the control you have over how strong it is is the gear you're in, which also sets available torque for acceleration (and inversely impacts efficiency, because an ICE is a big air pump).

I routinely downshift the automatic transmission going downhill on twisty roads or in parking lots, and it definitely provides compression braking when your foot comes off of the accelerator, without touching the brake. I taught my adult spouse to drive and one of the ways I tempered hesitancy was to have her shift the automatic transmission to a lower gear (but not so low she'd over rev the engine driving the speed limit). I was less concerned with fuel efficiency or whether she sounded like a hot rodder than I was with providing her positive control over speed. I'd say it worked. Mostly now she only downshifts going down hill or in parking lots.
I tried obsidian but felt it had too many gears and knobs and spent too many times fiddling with them. I fell back on this app which is based on local markdown storage but takes it up a notch.

With one or more large Oak trees the amount of leaf cover is such if left untouched that the yard would revert, typically in only one fall season, to "forest ground cover" (old rotting leaves, mud, and the hardy weeds/vines that will grow in "forest ground cover"). Which rapidly becomes not very useful as a "yard", a ripe source of ticks (and the diseases ticks carry) in much of the US, and in many areas will quickly result in a "HOA nastygram" [1] from the HOA busybodys regarding not maintaining the grass properly with the ensuing fines that go along with that nastygram.

[1] in my specific case not, as I do not, and will never, live in a HOA area -- but eventually even the local govt. will send out a "nastygram", they are simply by far less sensitive than HOA busybodys and it takes a quite significant divergence from the typical before they notice and send out a "nastygram". And the local govt. nastygrams most often include a compliance period before any fines are imposed vs. an HOA one which begins with a fine and escalates from there.
The work started getting done on other computers, and progress became unmeasurable.
