The only thing worse than having to pay for premature appliance replacement is.. the process of actually replacing them.

Across different homes, different appliances, different brands, and different vendors it is always a disaster.

Dishwashers especially since they touch cabinetry, plumbing, and electrical.

I would pay an "A Team" premium to have an entire squad come deliver and do all work to accommodate installation.

I've had just about everything go wrong:

* fridge installer taking 3 tries to send enough guys to lift a giant fridge up stairs (2, then 2 again, then finally 4)

* Finding out my condo counters are ADA accessible special short height that is 3/8 of an inch too short to fit 90% of DWs without carpentry work

* DW installer leaving, wanting a plumber to replace water line before continuing

* DW installer leaving, wanting electrician to do hardwire/outlet work before continuing

* DW repair guy leaving, because he couldn't figure how to pull the dishwasher clear of a tile floor ridge

* DW repair guy disconnecting my kitchen sink water line, breaking a part making it unusable unless I made it to the hardware store across town closing in 10 minutes

* Plumber knocking DW door off the spring hinge mechanism so it just drops like a rock now

Basically theres 3-5 different specialists that all need each others work done in a particular order and possibly to do re-work after one of the others breaks something, every every time.
I would prioritize looking for financial and corporate fraud. It would have a much bigger impact on society than looking for any problems with academic studies. If we can take down those people and bar them from ever having anything to do with finance in the future, I think that would have an important impact on the ethics and behavior of the next generation.
> They could have solved it by just adding more hardware, things like this is highly cacheable, but when you're dealing with tax payers money you generally don't want to subsidise for-profit companies. So you implement a token and tell them to implement their own caching layer on top of it, and everyone is happy.

The for-profit company is happy, anyway. They get free data and you've priced the competition out of the market.

What things like this are really useful for is to create the app equivalent of weather.gov. Most for-profit "repackage government data" websites and apps are ad-laden spyware that will spin your CPU at 100% and shovel every byte of data they can hoover up into a data warehouse that sells to anyone with a buck while doing little more than displaying the government data.

If you want to create an open source one which is free and promises not to track the user, you can, but then you need the data. If you end up with millions of users, who has more resources to set up caching servers, some individual idealist with zero revenue or the United States Government?

This shouldn't even be a question. The government has to operate infrastructure that can handle millions of users for many other reasons. This should be something they're experienced in, and something like this should just fit into a slot in existing infrastructure. This is what it's for. If all you want is to provide the data for various scummy middlemen to wrap in ads and spyware then why is it an API at all instead of a static data dump / live feed with the latest changes?

You are still ignoring context (which includes the comment thread and topic being discussed, not simply my own comment in isolation; that's what context means) and sperging out. Singapore developed during a time where US-China relations were friendly. The current animosity is recent (post 2015) and previous animosities are pre-Singapore independence, so who cares.

Got a Bosch fridge and it’s been good except for the door seal starting to rip
IMO that’s concomitant with the PMC since it’s the concrete moment workers stop thinking of themselves as workers and a big paycheck is sufficient to make people class-dumb, but I know that’s a contentious view.
Isn't this essentially essentially the ether theory of light? You can measure the round trip of light along two different axis. If the speed of light was dependent on direction, you would expect these results to differ.

It is possible that physics conspires such that the speed of light is direction dependent, but that it averages out if half your path is the exact opposite direction from the other. I think this can be excluded by comparing more complicated paths; although the nessesity for it to form a closed loop might be give physics an unavoidable out if it really wanted to mess with us.

There are also theories where the speed of light differs based on direction; but space itself differs in the same way, canceling the effect. These are fundamentally equivelent to a theory where both are constant.
Chinese manufacturers like BYD are opening plants in Mexico to get around the US protectionism against Chinese made cars. Blocking this would require serious changes to the USMCA.

Tesla has proven you don’t need a dealer network to sell cars in the United States.
I've checked and sadly it's listed as deprecated on MDN. I don't know if there's anything to replace it.
Although with a language like Go, I would think programmers should expect that allocations occur frequently, and rely on the GC and language design to ensure decent performance or whatever is being asked for. It won't hold true all the time and sometimes more knowledge is needed, but the baseline wouldn't involve that.

> A fridge with a giant ice maker in the refrigerator, not in the freezer.

We have one of these on our ancient fridge. In a way, it actually makes sense - a lot of the stresses of an ice maker are having all of the mechanics being forced to operate in freezing temperatures.
> Given that in your suggested reality, they still wouldn't pay for the thing, why does it matter if they then pirate it?

With respect, this is a logical impossibility since there is no way to prove that nobody who pirated would have purchased that same product if a piracy was not an option. Accordingly, there must be at least some harm to others.

Beyond this logical problem, there have been published studies done by "Danaher et al", "Aguiar and Martens" and others which show that purchases do increase when piracy is not an option. And no, these studies do not just rely on "every pirated copy is a lost sale", they look at specific data about how sales of music and movies are affected by the availability of piracy.

> Why do people get so bent out of shape if you decide to download something from a willing third-party

I covered that: my ability to survive (i.e. paycheck) depends on people paying for the product I build. Heck, if we step back and look at the macro scale, a good 40% of the US GDP depends on people purchasing things which can potentially be pirated (goods which rely on IP or copyright protections).
Isaac Asimov used to say "row butt" but I can't think of anyone else who did/does.
That's not really a substantive case in favor of using the language.
I stopped reading the whole article after that bit and came here to find the one comment that called it out. =)
This is likely the water filter. The system is notoriously fragile. If you don't follow the "proper procedure" then you inevitably end up with a leak. I have no idea why.

Try running through the process and double the duration of every step, and don't skip any steps, and it should stop leaking.

Alternatively throw the damn thing in the garbage.
They obviously have some kind of world model.

The problem with AI is just that these models aren't as intuitive as they might seem.
"If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it still make a sound?"

Attribute access is reading a value, invoking a function is different (as mentioned, using a stack, etc.), although it is certainly possible a function only reads and returns a value.

All that to say my answer is yes, providing flow control mechanisms makes it flow control... and falling trees make a sound!
Seems to me it's a text model, not a world model. Like... they can't feel the word "hungry", but they've got a damn good idea where the word "hungry" appears in the phase space that is the set of all meaningful human utterances. Their ground truth is text, not reality.

Maybe that's why the model gets shaky when asked to reason about the real world. They are, after all, pretty great at reasoning about words (eg 'I need a word that means "a thing made out of clay", but not "pottery"' -> '"Ceramic" is a suitable word. It refers to items made from clay and hardened by heat.)

(Edit: Inspired by the article, I just asked ChatGPT4 "When a knife falls to the ground, what are the possible outcomes?" ten times. It included "it lands point first and it sticks" 2 out of 10. GPT4 via the AI included it 6 out of 10, and also included some fairly creative-but-unlikely outcomes ("If the knife falls near an electrical outlet or cord, it could potentially cause an electrical shock or fire.")).
I'm actually a little surprised that there wasn't some kind of lock on the hatch already. Not necessarily to deter the rare suicidal/homicidal astronaut, but more because it seems like there would eventually be a non-zero chance of an accidental opening. Imagine the air quality goes to shit and one of the astronauts losing their state of mind and heading for the door while thinking, "man, I really need to step outside to get some air." Or a strap getting caught in the handle in just the right highly-improbable way.

NASA never forgot their lesson about spacecraft doors from the Apollo 1 fire, and I don't blame them one bit. But as an armchair observer, the fact that the hatch didn't have _some_ kind of rudimentary protection system to keep it from being opened to the vacuum of space until that point, is highly interesting.

I mean, if the account of Wang is true, I have to imagine that he was only asking about the door with the same kind of idle fascination that I most definitely would. I could be wrong but as far as I know, 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.
Setting up two sockets would be even more work.

The best mitigation is to not close `stdin` when you get EOF on it -- just stop reading from `stdin`.
No it doesn‘t. What‘s terrifying is the previous non-FSD code that just centers the car in the lane and will hit anything protruding into the lane. There is little reason to believe that the vision will fail worse than before or that hand rolled control code can do a better job based on wrong and unreliable input data from a net.

Additionally this does not preclude a safety check around the outputs, preventing, for example, an extreme acceleration. This would be similar to any checks put on ChatGPT output.

I wonder how they will handle the previous visualization though. Maybe it would make sense to also predict the visualization from the same network based on labeling the data (perhaps using the old methods) but unless that is somehow checked against the control decisions, it will not instill the same confidence or feeling of understanding in the user. But that doesn‘t mean that the driving is worse.

Mine does that too. Took off the back, found the drain where the condensation is supposed to go to. It's made of rusted steel. It's supposed to lead to the compressor where the heat makes it evaporate back into the room. But since it's rusted, it clogs and then eventually ices up, so the water spills into the inside back and lands under the vegetable tray.

I cleared mine out, all happy, and 3 months later it clogged back again. I don't bother fixing it because I need to remove all the contents of the fridge, then dissassemble the inside rear of the fridge to get access to the right spot. It's just a bad design.
Having grown up in Stuttgart and son of a former Bosch advisor it hurts me to say this: Bosch stuff is very mixed. We have a Bosch fridge and do not like it: too small, bad door hinges, weird interior (probably better suited for German city living). We swapped it with our old American basement fridge and that's a better fit although the cheap compressor is annoying. What I'd like is a big "empty-box" fridge with a good compressor.

The Bosch dishwasher is better, quiet but with the annoying habit of all the interior plastic parts falling apart.
Yes, but it still died.
Skip locked seems to be the way that new queueing packages are going, though they don’t solve fairness or multi-tenancy.

It’s nice to keep things simple, but how does that work at scale? If I have 1,000 users I don’t think that these standard queueing systems can prevent one tenant from impacting another. It doesn’t look like that’s possible in SQS, either.

On the other hand, is that even necessary? At what scale is this important?
Most humans don't completely understand the things that they read or the words they utter. Why would we expect different from artificial intelligence? Understanding things is computationally expensive from both a biological and digital perspective.
The plumber tried to remove the stickers but the dealership insisted they would do it instead.
From reading Michael Pollan, I recall that there was a lot of work being done on psychedelics up here in Canada.

Did you look into that at all? Especially considering the current stance on psychedelics in Canada (essentially decriminalized), and the state of serious research, do you see Canada being a pioneer going forward like it was in the past?
I get that enterprises will buy anything with "Cloud" or "AI" in the name, but VCS doesn't have anything to do with the cloud. Lots of VCS's have had server-oriented architectures, well before Git.

I see a lot about the architecture and design here. This is a product smell: focusing more on technology than solving problems. Some nerdy people may be interested in it, but it all means nothing if the experience of those users isn't good. You want me to buy your product? Sell me on why the experience is better. How it's going to speed up dev time, reduce errors, make collaboration better. None of that will be improved by a REST API or distributed storage in your backend app.

I'm also not looking to change my development practice. If most of your features are only available in a browser, I'm not going to want to use it, even if it were better than what I do now. Meet the users where they are.
I’m not an AI zealot, but this is such a strange debate to me.

“AI only _appears_ to be reasoning” is silly, because appearing to reason is our only sane definition of reasoning.

If we can’t say exactly when our random statistical noise emerges into some vague concept of intelligence, why does our standard suddenly become rock solid when applied to other intelligences?
That's what I would buy yes. Sadly, "expensive" in the world of fridges is not 2-3k, but 8-10k. That's what you need to pay for long-term quality (to be sure, they still break, but in less dramatic ways).
wow definitely thought this was about LoRa at first.
Oh sorry, I meant for getting toner for an HP. Any reliable alternatives?
I think if OP was serious about solving a real mystery here, they would have posted to a cryptography forum, not 'bitcointalk'.
I wouldn't recommend my process to anyone, to be honest! I probably wrote a total of around 200k words over a four year period, of which I ended up cutting around 110k. I find it to be very true that you don't know what you actually want to say until you start writing things that aren't what you want to say. Then it's an iterative process of critiquing, rethinking, and starting over. I'm sure some people are able to start with a clear outline and then just plow through to the end, but I'm not one of them.

In terms of research, I used to keep all my photographs of archival documents, PDFs of sources, etc in DEVONThink, but I switched over to using the standard Photos app on Macs. It has automatic OCR now so I'm able to search text that appears in photographs quite easily. I did a lot of oral history interviews to supplement the archival research. This book wouldn't have been possible up until recently because it's only in the past decade that so many historical archives have been digitizing their collections. I was able to visit the key archives in person, but with others, archivists were nice enough to send me scans of key documents. Super grateful to them.
About 12 TB uncompressed json until the middle of 2022, with a dataset that grows 250GB+ per month. If you throw away all metadata you are left with between half and a quarter of that in high quality text.
Academia publishes, because academics are forced to publish. Psychology has a subject that's harder than physics, both experimentally and theoretically, and bad research practices. Sociology we can politely ignore. So yes, it has turned into a mill that produces garbage.

Still, some things are worth researching, but finding out what's true (or true-ish) will take a lot of time. Don't trusting findings that haven't been reproduced, stay skeptical of theories that hinge on a far-reaching interpretation of the data, and downright ignore publications with surprising claims. It's not nice, but it's realistic.

Because it's fine. That's what it's for, isn't it? The public, via some website, is requesting the government data their tax dollars have paid for.

Which allows that website (or app) to operate with minimal resources, e.g. by a non-profit or open source project, instead of having to be a for-profit entity which needs some underhanded way to generate revenue in order to display the "free" data.

Induction is an excellent technology held captive by absolute shit manufacturing quality, at least in the major brands. Firmware bugs, terrible controls, expensive repairs--all by design to keep the repair/replace grift going.
They sell iPads for $300. Meta Quest 2 is $250. Plenty of other VR headsets are in the $300-$500 range. Sure you can argue about quality and everything else, but for the average consumer $3500 is one zero too many.

My take is when the model can't do the things that you would expect it to do if it were reasoning, and instead does the things that you would expect it to do if it were an approximate retrieval system with an enormous knowledge base.

It's impossible to measure because it has no real existence. The one-way speed of light is as metaphysical of a quantity as the British pound.
