If it’s acting weird, just shut it off and kill the water to it. Ours was doing the same thing and one day we came down to probably 10 gallons of water on our wood floor and the ice maker just spewing water. We bought a GE Opal instead and it’s great.
I've got a great solution. How about requiring the users insert a hard to reproduce physical key-like object in a slot before the car will start?
Yes.

For a sector/area/industry that deals with "hard facts" and Science, it's "surprising" how much of these groups and institutions run on prestige, greed and ego.

We are talking about institutions run by these people who have annual budgets of BILLIONS of dollars, sometimes I feel most people view these schools and institutions like just one step above their local high-school, nothing is further from the truth.
Yes, Canada (and especially Saskatchewan) is very important in psychedelic history. I didn't look into it much personally because it's one part of the story that's been documented very well already via the work of Ericka Dyck, which is excellent. Specifically her book Psychedelic Psychiatry: LSD from Clinic to Campus (Johns Hopkins, 2008) but also other articles by her students and collaborators.

This seems like changing the subject from whether LLMs understand to a comparison between LLMs and people.
I could have sworn that deck verified was fully automated and I don't see clarification either way there, but regardless.

Your point emphasizes that this is Valve's problem and not the publishers. Valve is pushing an unsupported platform for games by saying it's "verified" when an update could easily break that (as evidence here). A developer is not likely to target an unsupported platform for testing.

Especially given:

"If you take no action, after approximately a week your review results will automatically be published and show up on your game detail page".

So that checkbox being on the Store page is not confirmation from the developer for supporting the platform.
Who was it, do you think?
panic/recover allow to implement something like exceptions.
I get where you're coming from, but I think it doesn't have to be more complicated than: "Are the two values standard Rust number types? If yes, they do simple multiplication on an asm level. Otherwise, check the relevant Mul implementation."
That's too bad, because the software and apps for them are far and above anything non-Korean. Not too important for a refrigerator, but it's important on ovens and microwaves.

One tiny example: my brand-new JennAir wall-oven has remote start through it's phone app. Guess what? You have to enable "remote start" on the oven itself before the app works. Every single time! You can't just enable remote start on the oven once and then use the app. You must enable it every single time -- in advance of using the app. And to enable it requires 20-30 seconds of "turn oven on, wait for animations to complete, click through this menu, that menu, and another menu". It makes remote start almost useless: I leave the house at 7:00 AM and have to remember to do this every single morning if I want to use remote start for the oven to be preheated when I arrive home.

Remote start on LG and Samsung? It's a breeze. These are companies whose have software as a core competency. JennAir? Not so much.
He died, yes. But then He rose again.
ICs (at least the people good enough to pass a Meta interview) have a choice of where they work though. I've quit a job where I had an ethical issue with what the company was doing with the code I wrote. When Company X does something naughty, the individual developers need to at least share blame with the managers making the decisions. After all, whose fingers are typing the code in and hitting submit?
Bought a quite expensive Liebherr three years ago. Had some trouble with the ice-maker, but they sent a technician who solved it.
Works since then without problems. Does someone have bad experiences with Liebherr?
Rust has panics too, which also unwind, and you can also recover from them; they are also a type of exception handling. Unless the project was compiled with panic=abort, in which case they don't unwind at all and you can't recover from them; the existence of the panic=abort option means one cannot reliably use them for control flow, which makes it harder to abuse. But even then, you still have to make sure your code is "panic safe" when writing library code (usually through clever use of RAII guards, instead of expecting the code flow to always reach the end of a function).
I was basically saying that there are no more order-of-magnitude type gains to be had in CPU performance (edit: with current technology, as far as I’m aware). A top-of-the-line processor today is maybe 3x more capable than one from a decade ago. And that doesn’t help with the real bottleneck of accessing memory, especially main memory, which is bound by the laws of physics. The CPU can’t do anything until it has the data, no matter how fast it is.

Also, CPU’s are eking out wins by doing more and more complicated things like speculative execution and out-of-order execution, which makes it harder and harder for the programmer at a high level to reason about performance and actually write software that gets the most out of the hardware.

Add in the fact that software is tending to get more and more bloated without equal energy being invested in making it more performant…

My argument is that major performance improvements are only hard-won these days by really dedicated developers because we’re getting diminishing returns from hardware and it’s harder than ever to write performant software.

If, in a technical settings, someone consciously interprets the valley girl sound itself as an indication of inarticulate, insincere, and disinterested; then, then they’re perpetuating biases against a regional accent, which is completely unacceptable. The harder problem is getting people to notice when they’re unconsciously doing so, and then to compensate for their own bias when listening to – and judging – others.

(Your comment makes sense otherwise, no argument here — I’m only here for the valley girl subthread.)

"I don't believe Chinese culture promotes the idea of killing your crewmates in front of the whole world as a less shameful act than a physics experiment that didn't work out as intended."

Rational chinese people for sure not. But he was not rational anymore, but out of his mind. Thinking how his family and the whole chinese people would despise him now because he failed as the first chinese in space. Nothing is sure here, but the way he asked, deeply disturbed the others. When you are desperate and cannot handle the pressure anymore - any way to end it, becomes a possibility you consider. A way out. Quite literally in this situation.
My LG fridge compressor lasted 3 years. Manufacturer warranty was 10 years, but only covered the cost of the part. Labor to replace it was $700 (called the different places). Needless to say, I went and bought a boring fridge for $1000, and it's already lasted longer than the LG did.
This is an extremely common issue to deal with when creating a kernel, which is, again, why levels of indirection in code and hiding context only makes life more difficult for a systems developer. The kernel may need to enable accelerators, switch between arm and thumb, enable an fpu, clear cache lines, etc. A lot of decisions will be made by the compiler, but based upon parameters passed in at build time, and a lot of it will be arch specific code interwoven in assembly. And there are tons of times when a compiler will generate things you don't want, forcing you to add pragmas and so forth.
I'm not quite sure what you mean, sorry.

My point was that something like BlueSky can make content more discoverable by letting you build your own social graph and view content from those you're connected to.

Search is most useful for discovering content that you otherwise have no connection to at all. There is also the historical aspect and there really isn't a way around that, but in the original context of finding people actively talking about a specific topic it isn't a necessarily must-have feature.
I looked into dryers, and the consensus seemed that there is only 1 brand in the USA for homeowners made to a standard of quality: Speed Queen. Otherwise the approach is to buy old as you do or buy a commercial version. This is true of a lot of other stuff- the commercial version has to actually hold up under lots of usage. You are probably looking at spending 2x but you get something that will likely last more than 2x the consumer version.

I think the main issue holding back quality is that people move so often. If you buy a quality appliance and then sell your home early on in the life cycle the buyer probably won't value the quality appliance and is instead hoping to see new appliances.
I sure hope a new competitor pops up. Monopolies are bad.
There are relay attacks where you boost the signal from 50 feet away. Think someone pulls up outside your house with a giant antenna attached to a clandestinely made device, unlocks the car and drives it straight into a shipping container.

A lot of cars are vulnerable to "all keys lost" programming through the OBD2 port. You show up with an Autel box, smash a window/jimmy the door, pair a blank fob to the car and drive it away.
Yeah - Tesla software has two parts, a vision system and a driving system. The vision system turns the camera image into a description of what is in the image (road, cars, people, etc), and the driving system actually controls the car based on the vision input and route it has been given.

Up until now the driving part had been hand coded in C++, but now it is a neural net that has learnt what would a human do in similar road situation (not sure what they trained it on). Is this an improvement? Who knows - should certainly be different. This doesn't mean the car suddenly got smart and now understands what it is looking at - it just means it's using a different set of rules for when to switch lanes, brake, etc.
The relevant paragraph that summarizes the incident:

> Wang was the principal designer of an experiment called the Drop Dynamics Module, which aimed to uncover the fundamental physical behavior of liquid drops in microgravity.

> Despite his extensive preparation, the experiment malfunctioned upon activation. Wang, feeling immense pressure and aware of the high expectations from the Chinese community, became deeply despondent. When Wang's experiment failed, he desperately negotiated with NASA flight controllers for a chance to repair it, even threatening not to return if not allowed to fix the instrument, telling NASA flight controllers "Hey, if you guys don't give me a chance to repair my instrument, I'm not going back."

> Wang received permission to attempt a fix and was successful in repairing the experiment, though his remark caused concern for the safety of the crew and the mission.
> Malicious compliance by websites

If the legislation had been written correctly then the current nightmare wouldn’t exist.

Should have been a browser level setting the sites are forced to comply with. The pop-up per site with free rein how obtuse it can work was always gonna suck. Pure incompetence from the politicians involved.

How do you measure if the clocks agree or not after you move them? You can try and synchronize all the moved ones at point B, but how do you measure their relative timing to A clocks without relying on the speed of light between A and B.
You and I both know that is nothing like exceptions.
I find the pro/con for this solution in an industrial environment interesting:

- adding yet another power/data line for a sensor is expensive, possibly requiring equipment to be shutdown, new mounting points to be drilled, etc.

- trying to find an accessible current carrying wire that isn't further enclosed in a ferrous enclosure that would block RF.

It reminds me of the time my boss suggested using inductive power for a camera in a dairy barn. It's a wet and difficult environment where urine, salt, water, temperature swings were common. How were we going to get the power to the inductive coil? Ah, yeah.
I am not concerned about safety, but I am concerned about seating layout. Some airlines, particularly United and American, use incredibly tight seat configurations that are a bridge too far for most other airlines. Getting stuck on those particular planes have been among my worst flight experiences. Now I just try to avoid those carriers, but all I really want are to avoid those seat configurations.

In general, the more consumer knowledge the better. You may not know why I care and you may not think it matters, but how about just letting me decide anyway? I think the same goes for food labelling, country of origin, labor conditions and so on. We allow companies an insane degree of secrecy.
Well the plural of anecdote may not be data, but I've really liked my Bosch dishwasher that I've had for the last 5 years or so. Cleans really well, reasonably quiet, and the UI works fine. I'm redoing the kitchen and considering getting a Bosch induction range and maybe a fridge.

Reviews on their 600 CFM range exhaust hoods, though, are all over the map. Smaller bits like that seem even harder to get a good read on.

I think this is a remarkably dysfunctional policy that only serves to placate mostly irrelevant middle managers who now look as useless as they are and has literally no other virtues.

If part of your people are there and part are not then you must necessarily adopt patterns and communication techniques fit for remote work. Your remote people wont be happy because they have to come in and your in office people wont be happy because many days less than half the staff will be there.

If you want to have enough space for most people to be there on some days you need almost as much space as full in office. You can't realistically hire anyone who lives more than a 30-60 minute commute and because you want to have access to a large desirable workforce your building is probably located somewhere expensive as well. A large chunk of the most desirable workers who want to work remote are forever off limits or if you do make exceptions you now have jealousy and drama.

Hybrid work is the answer to how can I have all the disadvantages of both styles and none of the advantages while not being shitty enough that all of either group leaves.

Anarchism isn't a single, unified ideology. Not all forms of anarchism is anti-hierarchy.

Anarcho-capitalism boils down to the abolition of violent coercion. Anarcho-Socialism and -Syndicalism boils down to the decentralization of authoritarian hierarchy to the level of a well-defined community that is small enough for an individual to have an effective voice yet large enough that that community has a voice in the affairs of the larger society within which it exists.

Bear in mind that the above are my syntheses, not some sort of "official" defition.

My point is that it's no more fair to lump all forms of anarchism - and all anarchists - into a single group than it would be to lump republicans together with monarchists.

Hierarchy is not necessarily antithetical to anarchism.

> Anarchy is so fragile that even in a thought experiment by an anarchist, it can't even last 20 minutes.

I think a lot of people - including a lot of self-described anarchists - confuse the political philosophy with practical application thereof.

In my own view, anarchism is a set of beliefs about how things should be. It's a way of viewing the world and a set of negative guidelines governing how people should interact with one another (e.g. "A person should not use of threaten force to get what they want")

The political and social institutions that would arise from a society founded on the precepts of anarchism needn't be stable, or even predictable.
I'm actually curious, what's a use case that really makes the broader system better by being able to discover content from anyone, anywhere?

The best I can come up with is a historical record. Beyond that I'm at a loss for a use case that is noticeably better with search compared to social graph-based discovery.

> If all the clocks agree at the satellite facilities

The idea is that you can't know this. You're somewhere in the middle receiving messages from all the clocks, and you can't tell if they're synchronized unless you've already defined the speed of light between you and each clock.
Does the fridge have a variable speed compressor? If so, that type is meant to run the compressor more than old-tech binary on/off compressors. Running 90% of the time might be normal if it's variable speed.

I can go into more detail if you want. But to be clear I'm not making any claims on how long it will last.

While land is often but not always public in Europe, the money is usually not. But as this is a technology forum, how about the surveillance, power grab, and related aspects due to which the Toronto endeavor failed?
I'm thinking about relatively simple systems and not "real" fairness. The case where I've seen this being a bit problematic is with such a queue in an application where jobs are sometimes inserted in large bursts. It doesn't actually matter much if they are truly fair, but in the cases where a large number of jobs is inserted at once the result is that for some tenants the queue doesn't seem to move at all.

It's not a huge problem in that case because the regular priority system still puts the urgent jobs at the front of the queue. But it does sometimes cause confusion for someone looking at this from a single-tenant perspective because the queue looks stuck. There are other ways to fix the confusion, but it would be nice to have a very rudimentary fairness in this simple queue that would ensure that the queue iterates a bit over the tenants.

That's true, the hashing should definitely be done as early as possible.

"As early as possible" is interesting. It could be done on the client, however you need to actually have the hash to check if a string hashes to the same as it because of the salts embedded in the strings. Using an algorithm without salting would allow you to hash the password on the client then allow arbitrary 32 (or however long your hash digests are) character strings on the server as a password equivalent. This would also protect from a misconfigured or malicious server logging unhashed passwords.
