> I'm curious what issues you ran into with Pi-hole?

My primary problem with Pi-hole or any other DNS-based blocker is that it silently breaks things. YouTube stopped saving my spot in videos. I couldn't click through on any link that involved a tracking service.

These things accomplish their stated task well, but leave behind an insidious trail of browser errors, broken pages, and broken apps without ever indicating to the user what the cause of the problem really is.

DNS just isn't the right tool for fixing shitty UX in the browser DOM or a mobile app. It's a happy coincidence that it works more often than not.
...and on pre-OSX Macs that had CR-only line endings (LF -> CR).
Recently did similar except set it up on a VPS. With IP filtering so that it’s not an open resolver. (Easy in my case given static ip)

Theory being that it’ll provide a bit more resilience than dual locals
Precisely. It doesn't matter how long it is intended to play for. What matters is how long it has been playing. A non clickbait title would have focused on the latter.
The wording on the buttons leaves that somewhat unclear.

> I switched over to Polar and now the watch I have lasts 5 days on a single charge - quit the change from about a day or less.

I uncovered a cheap digital watch in the cupboard the other day. It hasn't been in use since it's strap broke at least four years ago. It is still keeping time. Poorly, granted. It is off by half an hour, Then again, it is the type of watch that needs updating twice or thrice a year to account for DST and leap years.

I realize that modern watches are much more than timepieces, but the difference is battery life is astounding.
Nice! It could be better if the queries were interactive.
The article repeats the inaccuracy though.

Every year they don't ruin the New Yorker, I breathe a sigh of relief.

Granted, Si Newhouse bought it in 1985 - the only time the magazine's ownership changed! - and so maybe it enjoys a sort of grandfathered status at Conde Nast even with Newhouse dead?

I mean, I say that, but they recently ruined the previously-excellent iPad app, which has resulted in me going back to paper issues, but if that's the extent of the tomfoolery I'll take it.
If there are effectively infinite ways to produce a PCB layout that fits the requirements written in Ato, how is the second step done automatically in the final part of the demo video? If it's not done automatically, then how do you ensure the output of the compiler is compatible with any pre-existing PCB layout?
No, it hasn't.

The term has always gone in a half-dozen directions at once, and ranged anything from

* an idiot making PPT decks for business presentations based on sales data; to

* a statistician with very sophisticated mathematical background but minimal programming skills doing things in R or State; to

* a person with a random degree making random dashboard in Tableau; to

* a person with sophisticate background in software engineering, data engineering, and related fields who can kind of do math

* an expert in machine learning (of various calibers)

* a physicist using their quantitative skills to munge data

... and so on. That's been confusing people since the title came out. It depends on the industry, and there's a dozen overlapping titles too, some with well-defined meanings and some varying from company to company (business analyst, data engineering, etc.).
It might be confusing global temperatures with European temperatures. The article it references doesn't say global for the 2C figure and probably means regional temps. The European 2C makes sense, and the global 0.5C matches other sources.
Currently "Deeptechia" is working behind the scenes and have not make it public its work. It is not a general software consultancy business. It is a conglomerate that connects different companies that existed for more than 20 years. This includes research, development, and security auditing. It also includes specific products. You can check my profile for more information.
> 1. Thou shalt check voltage and polarity on new-to-thee power supplies, or thy machines shall be smote and release smoke.

Yeah, so... we were going from the US to England for a business trip. Someone on the team bought some inexpensive voltage converters on Amazon. When we got there and set up, we failed to follow this "commandment", and blew three fuses in the first ten minutes.

Turns out the "inexpensive" voltage converters were simply a resistor. That's it. So the voltage conversion was a function of current. At "normal" current, it converted approximately correctly. But at less than expected current (idle, say), the conversion was wildly out of spec.
Simplicity doesn't mean lack of value. Evaluate on value.
Such errors were called "critical errors" on DOS. They were called critical because the app could not continue execution unless the error was resolved. Windows seems to have picked a softer name.
Ostensibly, we participate in this forum to discuss things. I thought it was provocative to call this book propaganda so I thought I'd probe a little. When you tell someone they are reading propaganda, one of the unsaid things you are doing is implying that people are being duped, and that you somehow come from a higher place and have the real answers. So yeah - you are going to get questions. So maybe don't throw the term around in a public forum if you aren't willing to engage the people you're insulting.
So I think we're in agreement and I find very little discussion about this within the community (being a researcher myself). This wouldn't particularly bug me if we were saying that the measurements do not distinguish the ability to recall with generalization, but I find that the discussion is always about generalization and AGI, leading to a very confused public.

Unfortunately I'm just not aware of any metric that can adequately quantify meaningful similarity between data. Curse of dimensionality I suppose. Personally I try not to lean too hard on benchmark results not only because the aforementioned spoilage, but due to metric limitations as well. Personally I think our progress has out paced our ability to properly measure and it feels like we've only become more reliant upon them rather than more nuanced in our evaluations (am I alone in this?). I am wondering if this will create a stall or plateau (or even reversal) in practical performance as our measurements become less meaningful as our quality increases. I'm in vision, so a good example is how it is common to think that the L2 distance between a norm layer of a classification network (even if better than InceptionNet) is an accurate measurement of visual fidelity. Or to even think we have such metrics in even special cases (I guess PSNR or SSID are closest but that's more accurately described as reconstruction quality).

Btw, I think you might like the second paper I linked. It's a META/Stanford paper and mostly deals with vision (LAION) but a bit with C4. The short of it is that they can prune about 40% of LAION and still get good "Zeroshot" ImageNet accuracy. I actually found the results for random pruning quite enlightening, especially around all the toy datasets (Fig A4).

Zeroshot in quotes because it's pretty dubious to call ImageNet out of distribution (same with COCO) when a model is trained on LAION considering all the classes (at least an abstracted version of the class since LAION is more specific. i.e. ImageNet _distribution_ ⊂ LION _distribution_).

Another pet peeve of mine is arxiv links direct to PDF ;)
Usually in your router/DHCP you can configure two DNS servers. Define the PiHole as the first, and whatever upstream fallback IP you want as the second.
These companies operate at a loss in order to invest in growth for future profits.

For example, Firefox can collect quite a bit of data regarding what hardware correlates with what type of crashes on what code paths. It doesn't have to know anything about you to know that fewer crashes benefit you.
so why exactly did you skip the first sentence of the paragraph so that you could make a self-evident point?

That's what would change this from a lousy resource to a brilliant one.

OpenGL code is actually running on the CPU. From this CPU running code you can send shaders to the driver, in source code form or bytecode form, and the driver does the final compilation to GPU machine code.
It kind of implies that the left join process works by first taking the left table and then filling in the right table with a match if one exists, and otherwise null.

That model obviously doesn't work because if there's more than one match as the matching left row is duplicated for each match. However I don't understand their point of this being a problem when you don't have a "identity equality join condition", since this can also occur for equality joins as long as you're not joining on a unique key.
Alright, you be you. I'll never knowingly use your code though.

Maybe I'm an old fart, but to me (and others) a lack of professionalism betrays a lack of seriousness and concern for downstream users.
I don't know... the whole Threads + ActivityPub thing just seems like Meta trying to keep the regulators at bay rather than them actually embracing the ethos of becoming a major federated social media player.

So launch in July 2023, handful of accounts have AP support in November-ish 2023, full AP support end of 2024? I guess it's not nothing, they did have to bolt something entirely new on top of IG's infrastructure. But for a team that big, feels like we'd be seeing more if it was a true priority for them. Plus Threads leaning towards opt-in AP support which will only inhibit uptake (that was the last I heard, anyway).

I'd be shocked if Instagram ever went with ActivityPub, though.
Ha! But presumably the bluetooth is there to tell the app what it measured and to visualize it. But presumably through a combination of sensors and accelerometers
Sounds like they're getting closer to profitability.
My company had a push to get everyone in “strategic offices” several years before Covid. As far as I could tell it was also a layoff tactic. I think they learned it from IBM.

It didn’t matter what office a person was at, as long as they were at an office. So the idea of “spontaneous cross functional collaboration at the water cooler,” they talked about never actually happened, as people were in offices with people who they had no common ground with (professionally speaking), and everyone was tethered to their desk all day. For myself, I was on a team with people spread across 5 states, 3 countries, and 2 continents… but at least everyone had an office, right… I was on the phone for 6-7 hours per day. I’m not sure when I was supposed to chat it up at the water cooler, or who I was supposed to talk with.

Covid kind of saved me in this respect, but they are pushing RTO now. It seems those near offices are resisting a lot. I hope that goes on for quite a while so the focus remains there and doesn’t shift to those who officially work from home now.
>But CN’s business model is buy publications with lots of eyeballs and increase the revenue per eyeball while decreasing the total number of eyeballs per publication but firm-wide across all properties eyeballs are on an upward trajectory

According to Wikipedia, their last acquisition was Pitchfork in 2015. That's almost 10 years ago. Prior to that, the last popular property appears to be Ars in 2008 and reddit, in 2006. They don't actually seem to be buying many properties...
Temperatures were steadily declining from at least roughly 1280, though it didn't reach the point of being termed "little ice age" until later.

If changes to native burning due to contact-spread diseases are to be responsible, it wouldn't make sense for the temperatures to be declining for 250 years or more prior to contact.
Don't now if NVIDIA is keen to understand their hardware, but they are obviously very interested in users understanding their hardware. I originally started i86 assembler and stopped after the i860, which as far as I remember was the first Intel processor with branch prediction. It's a nightmare for control freaks, especially on CISC processors with variable clock cycles.

GPU programming with CUDA and PTX feels like programming on a single core CPU without tasks and threads with deterministic behavior but in a multidimensional space. And every hour spent avoiding an 'if' pays off in terms of synchronization and therefore speed.
I mean, I said as much at the end.
In the context of Windows, back in the day Cancel referred to basically ignoring the error message box.

If the error kept occurring you would just keep getting dialog windows.

Abort was then to essentially try to kill that particular task/process.
tbh Sweden feels like an outlier to me. Recently visited and it struck me as the most functional society I’ve encountered thus far. Even the demographics are healthier than much of rest of Europe especially compared to other rich nations.

That’s not to say the overall thesis is wrong but I suspect slight rose tinted glasses at play
> I read this article twice, and I'm still not sure why it exists.

It’s a review of a book.
There's also an IBM-built emulator that has at some point shipped with Eclipse. I used to work on it. The 3270 was fine, just took a bit of getting used to. JCL was the real horror show.
I guess "Cancel" probably returns a failure code to the caller of the API while "Abort" kills the program, similar to "Abort"/"Fail" dichotomy on MS-DOS.
Depends which OS, Windows would often use Cancel in place of Ignore
Haha, good name. When ChatGPT was released, together with a friend we personified it for fun and called "him" Geppetto. We've even had many conversations with ChatGPT trying to convince it by various strategies to accept the nickname (which it is rather hesitant to do).
Why not use a tunnel like Wireguard so that you don't need an IP filter on the rental box side? That way if your home public IP is reassigned you don't have so much work to do. Bonus encryption for DNS traffic, too.

I believe the Mastodon OP mistranslated the German article, which states:

> Das Beispiel, das wie ein Hollywood-Szenario daherkommt, hat sich wirklich so zugetragen.

Correct translation:

> This example, which seems like a Hollywood scenario, actually happened.

But as you can see, if you miss the last part, it's easy to get the translation wrong.

(Interestingly, the Swiss article doesn't directly quote Fortinet as a source, but as an expert opinion. Maybe something was lost in translation there when the story went viral?)
TBH, Condé Nast can only be blamed for a small part of Pitchfork's fall. They've always been wildly inconsistent in their ratings and beholden to a few darling artists, and none of the acquisitions have improved this. Over time they've lost mostly to influencers.

> It would not surprise me in the least if Denmark or Sweden did in fact have the highest rates of property theft. You have pickpockets, high density, and are welcoming of refugees and gypsies. I trust the stats. I don't trust you.

You really think they have 5 times more theft than Poland or 15 times more than Mexico? The total numbers doesn't make sense, countries are all over the place regardless of their situation or stability.

Also that data is from 2003, it is before Sweden had taken in a significant amount of new immigrants. There were no security anywhere because it wasn't needed, and shops didn't close due to excessive theft. How can that be worse than a country where stores has to put products behind bars and put security guards to protect themselves, and still sometimes have to close due to the issues?
I just cannot wrap my head around exhaust mods. I previously rode a 600cc sports bike, I specifically chose it because it's quiet, and still the noise from the stock pipes would give you a headache without earplugs if riding for more than an hour. When I sold it the buyer mentioned the first thing they would do was an exhaust swap...
The article says:

> Das Beispiel, das wie ein Hollywood-Szenario daherkommt, hat sich wirklich so zugetragen.

Google translate:

> This example, which seems like a Hollywood scenario, actually happened.

So this article states that this actually happened.

So OP's claim that this article states it's just an example which didn't happen, is incorrect.

I'm not saying it did happen, just that the article does not state what OP says.
They weren’t operating at a loss though, right? I thought the profits of Amazon were basically negligible, as profits were getting reinvested. I read that as different than operating at a loss, which would imply their costs exceed their revenue.
I have a hard time believing this considering the flag for it in Windows is called MB_ABORTRETRYIGNORE. How old of a Windows version are we talking? Are you sure you've seen this in actual Windows and not in an altered/joke screenshot?
The claim being made is ludicrous, doesn't hold up to scrutiny or common sense, and the amount of details given is sparse enough to cause disbelief.

If this is real, the article is beyond useless in informing people of what has happened and how it's happened.
It's super annoying. We also have that when e.g. trying to emphasize what we're doing to protect your privacy, since "caring about your privacy" has become distorted to mean its opposite at least in my mind.
More subtle; the burglar could just park up and go off for a few hours and gather the data they need - no need for a suspicious camera pointing out of the car to monitor patterns.

If the burglar only takes a 30 second look before breaking in, residents could be home but away from a window, with this the burglar can more confidently know when is a good time to break in, without exposing themselves to the same risk that looking around the house brings.
I assume you mean the head of the toothbrush but what about my head?

The IMU data is relative to earth (kinda). But toothbrush position over teeth is relative to my head. Moving around and turning your head gets added to the IMU measurements with no way to tell it apart.

Did I turn my head/body 90 degrees left, or did I move the toothbrush 90 degrees from my front teeth to the rear left ones? Impossible to tell these apart.
I swear there is a set time that HN can't go without a Pi-Hole or Adguard Home post.
unbelievable powerful (within certain parameters), and definitely feature-full when compared to virtually any other highly-available platform.

however, cost-effective? only if you're sitting on piles of cash.

IBM mainframes are unique. They have 75 years of incredible research (IBM is often the #1 patent inventor in the world, year after year) into a platform that they completely control. This has produced an absolutely bulletproof product. But you gotta pay for that.

Your other point that it would take a team of engineers to not-even-compete; yes, you're right about that.

I'd love to own one, but I'd rather own my house first.

I think the difference (as per the article) is that what function a particular piece performs can vary wildly. A blueprint calls for a door, and there may be a lot of flexibility on which door is installed—but the builder does install a door. They don’t install a door which occasionally turns into a fireplace or blender.

I recall a simplification that said that if we used computers code as an analogy, genes would be similar to functions, epigenetics would be similar to conditions over which functions get called and when, and the environment is the argument and events in which the program get executed with.

Why do you say thousands of years? Almost no technology was invented before the industrial revolution. But if you count those meagre dribbles, you might as well go back further and count pre-historic technology. I'd say pretty much all that stuff was trivial compared to what came after and humans spent most of their time working towards more zero-sum objectives than technology.

Part of the reason we need to do all of that is because we have too many people to feed. If the population is 1/10 of the number of people we have today in the US, suddenly we only need 1/10 of the cows, which domestically we can raise sustainably. No longer to we need to grow alfalfa in Arizona, ship it to Australia or Brazil where they raise the cows and then ship the meat back to the US. We’ll need 1/10 of the avocados that can be sustainably grown in California instead of importing it from Mexico.
Let's be honest, a Bluetooth headset like you've linked is very different to that of a pair of earphones. One was build for calls, the other is built for music and calls.

Brexit is more or less agreed as reduced 4% of the UK GDP - so that’s about 100bn less money sloshing around - something like 2/3 NHS or half welfare state. Or one HS2!

As an aside my take on Brexit is it was like a middle aged man thinking a divorce would “free him up” for a bright future of sexy young girlfriends. I mean it’s possible but it would mean a massive painful overhaul (whatever the nationhood equivalent of dieting, hitting the gym, doubling your salary, and giving your personality an uplift might be. And maybe plastic surgery and fixing those teeth. possible hardly covers it. )

The problem with Brexiteers is they can always say “we did not try hard enough” as if one more gym round, one more hair dye will bring the girls a’calling.
