Honestly, I already have—the overview of PyTorch in the Appendix finally made a few things click for me!
So far we're mostly alright .. cracks are appearing but we're largely keeping on top of what our elected employees are proposing as policy and what our employed civil servants are doing to implement.

By 'we', of course, I mean my body politic for a state 3x the size of Texas with a population less than 2.5 million, running a Washminster hybrid system formed by modifying known flaws (at the time 100 years ago) of the US and UK systems.

Still, nothing lasts forever and it's on the collective 'us' to stay on top of what we've delegated.
Yeah, I prefer RAII over manual memory management. Sorry, strawman.
That was a reaction to the advertisers pulling out before that.
>Paint a nude and share it on your art website, ok - post it on the school’s chat group and send it to the models friends and family after you breakup ? Not ok

I'm not familiar with that social precedent being set.

Plenty of nude paints/statues/etc were made posthumously, and tons of them are now permanent monuments in public museums.

Few gave permission, but we as a society seem to think that's okay given our widespread dissemination of the art.

also the motivation matters : these works weren't made for reasons of malice, generally speaking.
Sure. Here's the first result from a Google search. It has links to research as well.

But did I really need it? Why would you expect one solution to be the most efficient in all possible environments? Could it be because of marketing?

Seems like I was right on the money. Downvoted and then shouted out with marketing materials.

Are you a chemist, out of curiosity?

I got my degree at ASU.
Why would you need a variant? If you have one of something, put it on the stack. If you have a lot of the a type, put them in a vector.
It does say any email doesn't it? Not verified, any.
I'll note that you have typo'd the typo, it looks like it was "elevater".
GNOP!
The implementations of vector, list, and unordered_map in every standard library I've used have been sufficient for every C++ library I've worked on.

There are special cases, and there are engineering politics, but it's all basically fine.
That’s a good metric for safe. I think clean is best looked at in terms of something like lifecycle CO2 equivalent per kWh. In which case wind and solar are only beat by nuclear.

Then there’s lifecycle (levelized) cost per MWh, where wind and solar are way ahead of nuclear, and mostly have an edge on gas CCs.
Thank you, I'm following now.
I assure you that I read the tweet, and the list remains utterly null.

In a broader sense, I don't fault you for looking at war and thinking, or rather hoping, that in a just world, this wouldn't be the solution to any problem.

It is unsettled whether or not humanity can create such a just world, but we certainly haven't done it yet. Requiring the unconditional surrender of Hamas through force is very much a reasonable and acceptable way forward.

The OnlyOfffice desktop app is a pretty good and free alternative to Microsoft Office Suite. You can simply install it on your local machine for offline access.

OnlyOfffice is also self-hostable as a web app for a cloud alternative to Google Sheets.

Filebrowser is a self-hostable alternative to Google Drive.

There's a pull request open to integrate OnlyOffice with Filebrowser for self-hosted google-drive + google docs.

Interesting because the content I get on X is far, far more valuable than HN + Reddit + Facebook combined.

It’s the only place you can follow subject matter experts and get their real time thoughts.

I think people on HN just don’t know how to use Twitter?

If you want to use it effectively, you have to utilize lists. Curate your own lists or find someone you respect and follow their lists.

If someone is posting things you don’t enjoy then remove them.

Frankly, if X is causing you to be angry/depressed then a big part of that is on you.
Shared pointers are most definitely not zero overhead. The trouble is that they use atomic operations which can cause tons of problems for highly concurrent systems. You can use non-thread safe smart pointers, but at some point you have to ask whether that is really lower risk than just not using shared pointers at all (Rust gets around this with type checking).
Is it really that big of a risk? If you’ve got current gen gear and it works fine then why not
AI is pretty nice for search right now (compared to the incumbents) because nobody has figured out how to jam ads in all over the place and they are not yet victim to SEO that results in garbage listicles for every query.
> Also, as the war in Ukraine proves, you don't need cutting edge chips to inflict worlds of pain on another country, but 100+ year old tech of mortar cannons and shells are more than enough.

Worth noting the difference in scale between Russia (1.3m active personnel) and Ukraine (0.2m active personnel), the West are not directly participating in the battlefields (due to nuclear threats), and that Russia is connected to Ukraine by land.

For the Chinese case, the US has been very clear about sending armies to defend Taiwan, which is separated from China by sea.

So a technological gap can be a sufficient deterrent for the Chinese case, while less so for the Russian case.
Not exactly the same thing, but https://threadreaderapp.com/ will allow you to read threads (but not replies) if you come upon a link you can't see.

Edit: I guess that only works if someone has already requested the thread to be unrolled...
haha the first thing i would've caught in the initial PR was the file name... and the default setting of `confirmed: true`... seems like a big oversight or possibly an inside job (if im being conspiratorial)

What specifically is wrong with vector? There have been a lot of hash maps done with flat memory to minimize allocations and pointer hopping over the STL but vector doesn't have those problems.
Websites like Quora, Instagram, TikTok, and now X, work against the idea of an open Web. Content is increasingly concentrated into separated silos. But I understand why it's happening: People who don't have an account can't receive personalized ads.
Now that's pretty funny! Good find.
Yeah, I think this is right too. It'd also explain the sound.

Feels like a very mechanically-simple strategy, but hard to make durable / safe from fingers (and detecting "skin" vs "shoe" doesn't seem like something you can make foolproof) / that would hurt to fall onto.
I was just saying similar about human waste removal [0]. Dropping waste into water was a good idea in the 1700's but you'd think we'd have figured out a better way by now. Humanity is little removed from fish in this regard--although they have the advantage of doing it while they sleep at least.

I refuse to login to twitter for ethical reasons. If someone links me to a tweet I assume it’s because they thought I’d find it interesting. It’s a thoughtful act which deserves a little bit of effort on my part, so I’m willing to change the domain to see it. I’m not willing to login though. It’s a principle thing.
I would imagine consciousness shrinks in the presence of an all-powerful god.
It depends on where you live. I got an Instinct Crossover Solar recently and as far as I can tell, in the PNW it provides zero benefit unless I were to spend all day outside, every day.
No, I'm saying the firewall is what prevents access to the router's configuration interface regardless of whether you are using NAT. If you misconfigured it so that it was exposed and people could now break in, then all they would need to do after that is set up port forwarding to whatever internal host they want.

If you mean to imply that what I'm saying here is ridiculous because a "firewall misconfiguration that exposes any one (non-router) host to the public Internet" is only possible with a IPv6 or a NAT-less IPv4 network then you would be wrong (unless you were just being pedantic that I excluded such an example). A misconfigured firewall that exposes an internal host to the Internet would just look slightly different with NAT, since hosts are usually exposed via the firewall's port forwarding rules instead of the full featured allow/deny rules. There are technically going to be more firewall configuration options in NAT-less networks, but the risk of a misconfiguration accidentally exposing a host is not going to be any greater here.

If anything port forwarding actually encourages "accidental" exposure. They are usually kept in a separate interface from the other firewall rules, which indirectly encourages configurations that do blanket exposure to the Internet. Ideally internal networks should be configured to only allow inbound connections to specific host:ports from trusted external IPs/IP-ranges, but NAT makes this more complicated to do, so people get complacent with just exposing all inbound connections to specific host:ports because that is what port forwarding is usually going to default to absent of any other configuration.
Not the OP but: because I've never wanted to post there and as far as I'm concerned there's no compelling reason I should need one and I'm so offended by Musk and his attempt to force me to get one that I would rather not read it than let him succeed.
I just want to run a headless browser that logs into my socials periodically and scrapes the stuff I want from the account I follow and puts it into a less addictive format that provides an upper limit on my possible exposure and engagement. I’m happy to run it locally from my device. Ideally it redirects links to socials I come across too. Where is such a thing?
The pairing of 3D printers and small lasercutters is like a fabbing super power. It's absolutely amazing what I can cook up in a matter of hours here on effectively 3 square meters.

But I still miss my machine shop :)

EDM is as slow as it was in the past, there have been incremental improvements but nothing that would make you go 'oh' and of course the waste in the wire is still as much a factor (and one that makes me dislike EDM but the capabilities are off the scale in terms of precision, cut depth and consistency, in machining everything has its price).

One thing that I've noticed the last couple of months is that you need to change your way of thinking about this stuff. If you 'can't make it' you need to think of what you can make and then adapt your design to that. This is far more productive than to stick to the 'proper' way of doing things. Suddenly two - admittedly - fairly crappy machines outperform my old shop in many ways. I really miss the ability that my 12 KW plasmacutter gave me in terms of cutting metal with accuracy and speed. But material hardening was a drawback as was the metal vapor and the conical kerf. By re-working some of the designs to use wood instead of metal and 3D printed parts where the 2D process isn't enough I find I can make almost anything that I could make before as long as it is for indoors use and strength isn't the main factor. Nothing beats metal and welding in that department.

Before getting a 3D printer and the laser cutter I would still cut metal, grind and weld pretty much regularly. But now it's a rarity, and I suspect that once I get the hang of high tech plastics that it will become even more so.

We're at the turning point where fake video was, until very recently, extremely expensive to produce (at least compared to the resources a high schooler has), and thus a naked video of a high school girl was basically real.

In a year or two, when there will be apps that can produce a naked video of anyone with just a clothed photo of them, nobody will believe these videos any more, just like nobody believes now that a photo of a dragon is proof that dragons really exist.
That’s an almost 10 year old article, about an industry that has grown almost 10x.

Some of the referenced material includes work from the Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition, which has (intentionally or not) spread misleading information about things like hexavalent chromium in PV panels (spoiler: there is no Cr VI in PV).

IEEE Spectrum has some decent stuff, but they also recently had an article about the top ways to reduce global CO2 being adjust thermostats a few degrees and build new coal plants that operate a little more efficiently.
Half the utility of the "global town square" was that anyone can read it. I guess a town square requires an account.
But most auth implementations don’t bother checking it.
The repository says at the top in a HUGE FONT that "Libreddit is currently not operational" and the website just shows a oneliner saying Germans are not allowed to read that page. The issue tracker talks of forking and stuff. Doesn't feel too welcoming or functional.

But in actuality it works just fine? Is the message simply wrong when you plug in your own api key and stay in the free tier of reddit's API?
Oh sorry. I haven't tested it on mobile thoroughly. Will fix it :) Thanks for your feedback.

> What a weird definition of failing.

> I wonder if you call Russia's invasion of Ukraine a success.

Ukraine already lost 20% of its territory, territory it won't get back and hundreds of thousands of its men with nothing to show for it other than wreckage and devastation. More territorial losses are possible in the coming year. The after-effects will be present for decades to come turning Ukraine into a failed state.

What do you call that other than an epic fail?
I've been in-and-out of machining and materials science for decades, it has come in very handy for the paid work I've done over the years but other than the windmill that I've built I feel that most of the tricks of the various trades have been wasted so if there is a worthwhile project to expend it on then I will be the one to be grateful.

The description of your machine has already made me wonder if it isn't feasible after all.
To be fair I was kinda surprised their create thousands of accounts strategy worked at all
I'm with you that this is disappointing, but folks who use these sorts of tools tend to be a bit naive about the impact of them going away. It's a little silly, to be honest. Best numbers I could come by is X does something like 100B impressions/day and x.com saw 1.2B visits in the month of December. Will some people stop seeing X posts on Nitter? Sure, maybe. Will it matter to X? I doubt it.
Surely the consumption is reduced when they are sitting in port idling? And do ships really need a higher voltage than common industrial power? (480v, 3 phase) I realize 480v is dangerous but not unmanageable.
You're right, I meant tax avoidance.
Which line of reasoning allows natural intelligence do the the same thing artificial intelligence isn't allowed to do.
It sucks. I don't want to use twitter but it's where people post. Nitter fulfilled my lurker only use case.
One of the ISPs, I believe Spectrum, was using an internal eligibility verification system. They had the largest share of the ACP customers, IIRC.

Regardless, the reps make it seem like it's very easy to qualify if your kid gets free/reduced lunch. I assume that if you get handed over to a govt website an you click the "my kid gets free/reduced lunch" checkbox, that's all you have to do. This elides the detail that your kid gets free lunch because all CA schoolchildren do, which the ISP rep told you isn't a disqualifier. So at the very least, they're priming the pump for people to fill out forms incorrectly.
that world is already fading away -- the public is being so oversaturated in AI images that real art is bringing up criticisms for being AI generated; when everyone thinks everything is AI generated, which is becoming increasingly the case with any picture or text medium , the world that judges every single photo online to assess a person can no longer exist.

The reason why all adspace isn't priced equally is because of tracking either done by the seller of the adspace or the buyer of the adspace. This has been the case for hundreds of years. The buyer wants to make sure that their ad spend is reaching the maximum amount of people who are likely to end up in an conversion.
I am precisely none of those things, but if I were, you would be doing a far better job of arguing the case against yourself than I ever could.
Why would you implement your own atomics? It seems very similar to std::atomic, except you need to do a bunch of platform specific hacks to get it to work. The only possible reason I could think of why you would do this is if you aren't using at least C++11. If you aren't using C++11, then you probably shouldn't be using threads in the first place.
Very interesting comment, ok I will abstract and put this in the engraving section, is there a set of materials and/or colors that you find work better and others that really do not?

6. Privacy

7. A lot of work to read a hot take

8. Social media is addictive. The site gives you crack when you log in.

9. Chinese Firewall (and in some occupied lands it may be a crime to use Twitter)

10. Too many logins for shit already.

I'm inclined to have the same wishes.

There's a weird world of outrage about twitter ... on twitter by people who keep providing content for twitter. I don't get that.

The further downside being that all the alternatives I've dipped my toes in, the content is pretty much similar to twitter and all the alternatives are offering are various back end type differences, but the same content. So personally I'm not particularly happy with those either.

Prompting Diverse Ideas: Increasing AI Idea Variance
I think that message was to let users know it's basically on it's last legs and could 100% stop at anytime. When the API changes started, most all of the instances ran into rate limits due to the number of requests. But it works just fine until that rate is hit.

Like I mentioned, I've been running my own private instance and I've never hit the rate limit so it's been working fine for me.

And I don't know about any API key. AFAIK, Libreddit uses the publicly available JSON, no need for a key (hence why it's read-only). Since it's still working for me, those JSON endpoints must still be available, just highly rate limited now
AI images are by no means sharing people's private photos online; they're creating a false equivalent while using whatever data is available in the interest of accuracy.

photogenerative AI isn't x-ray specs, it's a guess. That's exactly the difference here that people seem to ignore when making up hypothetical situations to compare it to.

Make up whatever AI image you want with my face plastered onto it, it still won't know what I have in my pants. Let's hope that I get a good seed number!
