If anything, there should be extensions to automatically reject them. It’s a testament to how draconian the process to do it usually is that the extensions just surrender. Every time an extension or person accepts those, they’re reinforcing those companies’ choice to break the law¹ in the name or profit.

¹ The GDPR is clear that rejecting must be as simple as accepting.
That’s probably something that Postmodern philosophers have tried to answer but for more boring Information Overload Eras (telegraph; newspapers; mass media; the Web).
This is insanely impressive. I'm sure many of the techniques used like the "majority vote" algorithm cited are underutilized across many industries.
Clean UAE title.
Can I offer a suggestion - focus on non-code developer use-cases. It is still wildly difficult to integrate a VCS system into a document-based application, yet this could improve many, many engineering and science applications that rely on text files (simulation configurations, pre- and post-processing setups, semi-manual entry data-backed "dashboards", etc). This is a problem that really needs solving and I don't see anything out there that makes it approachable.

Having built this myself (hacked on top of git) for an engineering analysis platform in the Energy Space, I'd say a good UI (even simpler than GitKraken) and an "just works" integration would be a massive win.

Just my 2 bits.
Running a ChatGPT-Like LLM on the Raspberry Pi 5

> They are optional: you can make them last 100 ms, or just remove them.

I'd rather have a codebase that doesn't have them so that I can work on a codebase that is tiny and focused on what I want when I want to change something. And I would need to make changes to the code base for it to suit me - see below.

> Also, hyprland great strength is it makes it not just possible but very easy to have a keyboard-centric workflow:

I already have a keyboard-centric workflow that does the things you list. There's nothing new in any of that. I have a floating desktop; I can move and resize them with the keyboard. I can move the tiling windows with the keyboard. I can swap individual windows, or swap entire subtrees, or flip their direction. All of that is trivial on almost any tiling wm.

> Check hyprctl: you can get a list of windows. With hyprland key bindings + basic shell scripts using hyprctl and ydotool to send key or mouse events, it's already possible!

This has the same flaw that was one of the reasons why I ditched bspwm - it allows getting events from it's 2nd socket - but not to intercept requests and being able to rewrite and choose whether to honor the requests or not. It does not have the flexibility I had in mind.

It has a lot of great functionality, but none of the things that I care about provide more than I already have, and some would set me back to the point I'd have to rewrite stuff again - and frankly just the build process for hyprland makes me break out in hives...
>Could it be possible that Satoshi had found a way to 'break' the elliptic curve as early as 2009?

If you feel happier believing that then you are free to do so. Each of us have our own fantasies.
Yeah 0 chance I would drop that much cash on this from an unknown brand. Even from a reputable brand I would be wary. I still feel burned from buying a few hundred dollars of “smart” smoke detectors from firstalert, a smoke detector company that has been around for ages and is still around. They were a terrible product with terrible support and instead of just hiring better people to rewrite a decent firmware they abandoned the whole product line after a year or two offering a $40 smoke detector as a replacement for the $129 unit that was a buggy piece of shit.

It's not necessarily the case that because AI can destabilize truth, that it can also re-stabilize truth. It's much easier to burn something down (e.g. trust) than build it up. c.f. second law of thermodynamics, etc.
I'll ask the obvious question: isn't one of the main challenges of an ice maker getting the water to freeze? How does this happen in the refrigerator compartment, where the air temperature is above freezing?
Dart Solar: Charging Your EV Straight from Solar Panels
RAII always gives me cleanup at the last possible moment. Sometimes I might want to force the cleanup sooner, but later than this always means never which is not what I want.
So I think some sort of hybrid between object recognition (like being discussed here as part of the workflow) and standard image processing stuff could be helpful there. E.g. it's not absolute sharpness that you're looking for it's the subject being sharp (and possibly sharper than in other photos from the same time period of the same subject).
It's still not too clear to me when we should fine tune versus RAG.

In the past, I used to believe that finetuning is mostly for model behavioral change, but recently it seems that certain companies are also using fine-tuning for knowledge addition.

What are the main use cases for fine tuning?
There is also a Reddit thread with more details:
https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaLounge/comments/194ajsm/my_tes...

The common questions/answers seem to be;

1. How does it work?
> Solar panel (DC) -> MPPT (DC) -> Small 1kwh Battery (DC) -> Power Unit (AC) -> Rivian charging adapter -> Into car

2. What is the efficiency loss?
> For Beta2 so far it has been minimal. I haven't formally tested it, but it is the same loss as when you install the roof rack. I get about 320 watt / mile.

I don't get anything near 320w/m - even in full-on winter weather, so I have no idea if that is considered normal.

Canada's population has grown faster than the US. US is "only" 8x Canada now.

Developer may place defer close enough, it does not have to be close. RAII is better by this logic, but too "hidden" by Zig standard I guess.
How did we go from 'Haier Europe' to Chinese consumer laws? Or even the United States?

Did you miss the 'Europe' bit? They have presence in the UK, Italy, Romania and Turkey (not quite Europe, but close enough). They also have presence in China but Chinese consumer laws do not apply to EU subjects.
> This is not a hierarchy if that person doesn't command

I disagree, and it seems to be because we're using the term "hierarchy" differently.

In my primary local friend group, the leader depends on the topic. If we're talking about the areas where I'm the (informally) recognized expert, I tend to lead the discussion. If it's someone else's area of "authority", they lead it.

Either way, while no one is designated at the person who decides what we all think or what to do, the person leading that conversation tends to have a heavy influence on the outcome and is responsible for building consensus.

That's a hierarchy. It's not a coercive hierarchy, but it's a hierarchy nonetheless.

This distinction is important especially when speaking to someone who is opposed to anarchy as a concept. Without it, they tend to see the (usually hypothetical) structures that we propose as evidence of anarchism's flaws. They're not - they're nothing more than thought exercises. While anarchists see those as a tool to help refine their view of how a system _could_ work, non-anarchists see them as evidence of internal inconsistency.
While I sort of agree, the "organized crime" ring would have to care enough to convert his face to a name / address, which is much more complicated than finding someone by name.

Neon serverless Postgres new pricing plans

I totally understand the need for an "on-rails" model.

However I've found that using it as a personal assistant and for some automation tasks it suffers.

The fact that it has only gotten worse as judged by humans doesn't inspire confidence for me. I could totally understand offering two options, but they're going so far it's actually unusable for many tasks.

The famous case it refused to "kill a python process".
We do this. It was a bit faffy to set up, but having dev and staging shut down at night and only be started as needed that day saved us a fortune.
Not quite. It would be a free market if people could freely move across borders. The overall arrangement that we have - where goods and services flow almost freely, but the movement of consumers and labor is restricted - is inherently abusive.

They don’t taste the same. Aspartame has a very nasty aftertaste as compared to sucrose.
Google Domains, a product that gave them some change(189M), was shut down.

It seems like they'll shut down any product that doesn't cause the world to stop.

We're using some products and upper management is thinking on moving parts of the core business to different platforms "just in case".

Google is loosing what little credibility they have left by always shutting down perfectly good products.
I can think of plenty of inefficient ways to do this. The nice thing about the SKIP LOCKED queue is that it is very simple and pretty fast. Postgres just has to use an index to look at the jobs in some defined order and take the first one that isn't locked.

The first option here would create an enormous amount of writes for each job fetched and likely slow it down to a crawl if enough jobs are in the queue.
CDC encourages doctors to consider blood testing for "forever chemicals"
The wash machine thing is because water-saving requirements, and the easiest way to do it is the "dumb" way. Speed Queens still have a "soak the damn stuff" feature, but it's almost hidden.

I think the fridge thing is because they discovered that a compressor that runs all the time lets them get a smaller one, and since it doesn't start/stop as much, it lasts longer, so it can be weaker. The ice maker is probably actually doing the work of keeping the fridge cold.

It's crap, in my experience, once it starts not working perfectly. As long as it's working, it's ok.

You’re right. comma.ai is making the same mistake and it shows in their current experimental mode.

I find the argument that you can allow both longitudinal and lateral control to be expressed by a black box difficult to accept. The proof of the driving is in the handling.

There’s a video of an engineer at comma.ai mocking self-driving teams for semantically labeling objects on the road in SAE Level 2 and beyond systems.

Which screams stupid to me. Why would you be proud that your system has no idea what a pedestrian is. Or what a traffic cone or a speed limit sign are? Idiotic.

At least Tesla still semantically labels. But I argue that you can’t get smooth driving out of neural network controls because they inherently have no idea what smooth driving explicitly is. They estimate it.

The best they can do is attempt to mock it, which without programmer-defined rails WILL result in excessively high jerk and acceleration numbers, as proven by openpilot’s implementation.
If you want to see this idea explored even more, I highly recommend watching "For All Mankind" on Apple TV+. My description below hopeful does not contain spoilers.

A Fantastic show for tech optimists, imagining a world where Russians were the first to land on the moon. This spurred increased investment by the US, continuing the space race, avoided the cold war, adoption of EVs in the 80s, massive action on climate change, and many other fun things.

One of the recurring plot points is Executive action taken by astronauts in space, wars avoided and caused by their decisions, brave rescues and other heroics. In one of the episodes a characters takes such an action.

What I’ve found from running my own mastodon server is that while self-hosting is a very nice idea to control your own account and manage your own timeline (specifically, choosing who to defederate with), there is a fundamental flaw with it.

Everything must be copied over to your server first. Let me say that again: You only see data that is stored on your local instance.

So likes, profiles, replies, etc are all very limited, since your server only stores them from people you follow (since you’re the only user).

Not only this, but this works in reverse aswell. Only servers that know of your existence will see your posts. If no one is following you, only people (and people on their server) you directly reply to will see your posts.

As such, being in a self-hosted instance or small community can be extremely isolating and make it hard to really network with other people outside of the circle that is already around you.
There is still a lot of value in reading reviews. People have grown cynical because there are a lot of fake reviews online these days, but that just means you have to think critically about what you are reading. Try to extract concrete facts from the text of the review, and as you identify each factual assertion that's being made, consider whether it seems like something that's believable and written by a real person, or something that's primarily an emotional appeal written by a bot or third world person employed by the manufacturer.

At some point, we're going to hit a tipping point where no authentic human being ever writes any online review, and then they'll become totally useless, pure noise. That doesn't seem to be the case yet, though.

Because when you explicitly document "if you do this, it will fail", and people's code doesn't fail, they assume they must not have been doing that.

Especially remember that most people don't care about opening files in text mode vs binary mode. This is only more true in a UTF-8-only world.

I often wonder if this is just the logical extreme form of "fundamental attribution error".

You know the sort of thing. Two people smash a glass on the floor. One of them is me. I am a decent person and I smashed the glass on the floor because I had a bad day. I am more likely to think the other person smashed the glass on the floor because they are a thoughtless person or have an anger management problem.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_attribution_error

What if the logical conclusion is metaphysical solipsism: I did XYZ because I am a thinking person. They did XYZ because they are unthinking products of their environment and training?
I love this idea, although I have to wonder if it would make replacing a refrigerator a bigger chore because (IIUC) you'd need hoses filled with a refrigerant liquid and no air bubbles.
It’s stories like these that remind me I’m stupid and have a lot still to learn. My goodness this is amazing. Up there with audio key logging and things I read about but could never dream would be a real thing.

I tip my hat sir. Reminded that I’m a mere mortal in the presence of greatness. The absurdity of recreating a game based on audio crashes sounds like something a mental patient would say but no, here we are in 2024.
I’m very aware of that tool but it’s far from perfect. I’ve spec’d things out on that then seen very different prices when I actually create things in AWS. In part because the tool doesn’t take some things into account or because sometimes it’s impossible to guess your usage for a new feature.

I don’t believe the VPC was factored in when I used that calculator, even after selecting RDS Proxy.

In such a case the crew would be dead whatever they did. Even if we assume there were enough suits for everyone to evacuate the Shuttle through the hatch (which AFAIK there weren't), and that people were able to evacuate before the fire caught them (which is unlikely), they would still be stuck in orbit with suits having only enough air for a few hours (the length of an ordinary EVA) and no way to get back to Earth.

I will say this, too. Opal is amazing. It has completely eliminated any use of our freezer icemaker. The ice quality is superior and I believe that is because it is not as hard since the icebox keeps chilled by the ambient temperature of the ice. There is no going back to typical ice.
I found Amazon's Builders Library to have a very insightful list of how to handle building multi tenant queue systems https://aws.amazon.com/builders-library/avoiding-insurmounta...

I think one of the big tools is Shuffle Sharding. The article talks about standard sharding by itself as not being enough to provide robustness in multitenant queues. But Shuffle Sharding I.E. assigning users to virtual groups of underlying queues and enqueueing to the queue with the smallest size gets you pretty far. It can limit throughput for individual users but implementing some simple work stealing logic on the consumer helps make sure you keep your throughput up.

You can have the "cold maker" part in the fridge above the ice maker, and blow freezing air across the water into the freezer.

Not saying it's done that way, but many fridges now keep the fridge part cold by venting freezer air into the fridge (if set wrong, you can freeze things in the right part of the fridge).

I am probably going to lean toward separate freezer and fridge next time.

When I was a student with a $600 car, I had "PLPD" which was the minimum required liability and nothing else. If my car was damaged or stolen or whatever I was sol, which obviously makes sense when your car is with less than thr deductible.

I assume that is still available. Normally with a new car you would get better insurance than that, either because the financing arrangement forces you too or because you want the coverage.
I think this is a great approach. Just looking at the comments here - I'm not sure how many devs would jump for a git replacement.

However, anything that solves version control for all of the non-code cases is VERY compelling.
That page could be titled "Advantages of Zig," and it seems to me rather normal that a developer might ask "What are the advantages of Zig/Rust/Python/D over other languages?" and each language has a cost/benefit analysis that is different than what other languages made.

I do think justification is useful though - Why should one use Rust, for instance? Well, one obvious answer is that it places a high priority on memory safety, and so, if memory safety is a critical concern, Rust should be something to look at.

I am also thinking of the xkcd comic on specifications, and how creating a new one merely confuses the already crowded space, but I'm having trouble making the corollary here.
> 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.
