Busses and trains aren’t good targets for terrorism.

You blow up a bus, maybe no one really cares except the locals to the area where the bus blew up.

I think you'll find terrorists do exist, and you do need to be on your guard.

Whether the specific airplane controls we have now are effective or required is still a good conversation to have, but you draw the wrong conclusion if you think there is simply no threat.
You should read Dune.

'Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.'

Hence... 'Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind.'

For most things I think we can agree. The problem is when machines can 'think'. How much should we offload thinking to the machines.

Apparently NIST employees dislike Christiano's beliefs and associations. It doesn't seem justified to label their or Christiano's beliefs as "religious". If any disagreement with a common position is "religious war", then all such disagreements are arbitrary and religion itself is just as arbitrary.

Mozilla, a project full of C++ experts, tried to write a parallel CSS engine in C++ twice. They couldn't get it working either time. But their first attempt at using Rust worked out -- even though many of the devs working on it were completely new to Rust.

Did we? Between 1968-1972 there were 130 hijackings in the US alone. In 1973 the FAA required passenger screening (I don’t know why people are saying screening began in 2001, the TSA was formed and updated screening procedures, but people were definitely already being screened).

From 1973 on, hijacking’s dropped considerably. Since 2001 there have been no hijackings in the US.

Your comment is the odd one.

When a machine does what a human artist does, some consider it theft, even though creativity is literally reworking past experiences (including vast amounts of copyrighted data). I have yet to understand what makes one theft and the other creativity.

I feel that the problem is not "theft" but the fear of being replaceable in the workforce.
> MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico’s president said Friday the country’s minimum wage will rise by 20% in 2024, to the equivalent of about $14.25 per day.

> About one-third of Mexico’s registered workers report earning the minimum wage, which will amount to about $1.75 per hour starting Jan. 1.

$60 is 4 days wages for 1/3 of workers in Mexico. It's the equivalent of $820 for someone making 75k per year in the US. So it's the same as any other free-market healthcare system: easy access for the wealthy at the exclusion of the poor.

Fail safe? Most definitely not.

I'm a gyrocopter fan, but their safety record is not fantastic. Among other traits is a significant sensitivity to negative G maneuvers, even mild ones.

> It is so laughable and pathetic, frankly, that you brought it up at all.

If the claim you're making is "we should not bring up the fact that the Hamas' stated intent is to kill and/or deport every Jew in Israel because they don't have the capacity to do that"... I mean, I've seen variations of that claim before, but I still find it baffling.

(Standards disclaimers apply, the Hamas having genocidal intent doesn't justify the IDF's war crimes, etc.)
The most important safety measure implemented was strong doors leading to the flight station. The cost/benefit for every other 'security' measure has clearly not been worth it. The amount of time people spend standing in line, arriving early, etc etc has a real cost in human life and vastly outweighs the supposed security and safety benefits we have gotten from airport security.
To be honest it does feel weird that the subscription allows you to upgrade to latest yet not use it after it ends.

I personally would think that something like "You purchase a year of versions, so final one you would be able to upgrade to - would be your perpetual subscription"
So you claim the markets shouldn't be regulated (what else is the point of moving the focus away from Airbnb, while it obviously is a factor contributing) while blaming the government for not regulating the market?
Ah, so is this tied to your previous comment? Ie you're saying ~"not a supply issue, it's a demand issue" and you mean that there is an artificial demand causing the supply to be insufficient. That the supply would be otherwise sufficient, if not for the external sources of demand.

I think "lukecool" hasn't become a word for the simple reason that it has a double-k sound that doesn't jive aurally--it either sounds like two words, or one of the k's is dropped, or a small vowel has to be inserted between them. So you end up with:

- lou-cool

- look cool

- luka-cool

So linguistically it's as unstable as a rural juror.
> that we converted the file to 8 bit audio

this actually works surprisingly well!

I did the same thing for a device I made based on the Pi Pico[1], where audio is processed every sample and it stores a bunch of wav files in the flash that can be mangled together. the flash is fast enough that you can jump between samples really quickly to get cool "tunneling" effects that are surprisingly good sounding for such a tiny + cheap little chip.

I don't think these rates are new housing. You're looking at the real estate market as a whole. There's no way 25% of China's GDP is new housing, or Canada high teens. As real estate as a whole climbs as a percent of GDP you expect to see more NIMBYism because it means people have even more of their wealth tied into their homes, and more reason to not want competition. Which, economists seem to agree, is exactly what has happened in Canada.

Canada is only a country of 38 million and they are expected to take in 1 million migrants this year, all of whom don't bring a home with them. They took in half that last year. Their population is growing much faster than ours, but new housing starts are only around a quarter million per year.

I don't assume they are correct just because they are in wide agreement which is why I'm asking what you know that I (or they) don't. The total percent of GDP from the real estate market doesn't indicate much other than that houses are unsustainably expensive.

I haven't used it on battery much, but the Framework definitely seems adequate. I have the AMD version, which is apparently much better than Intel. It's not going to compete with the M1 in my MacBook, but it's enough that I don't have to think about it.
I actually went the complete opposite way and I run RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux - with the developer subcription) or RockyLinux at home.

Because:

> "wait, how did I fix that thing 6mo ago?"

Such things just don't happen. That thing (RHEL/RockyLinux) just doesn't break. I do update software once every six (or more) months, reboot and it just works.

I have notes on how I did stuff, if necessary. I used to keep ansible playbooks but they were just an overkill. Does it even make sense to write a playbook for a system that I'll reinstall in three or four years ? Probably not.

One of my main systems at home has been running RHEL 8 for 3-4 years, still happily getting updates. I plan on replacing the whole box, with another one running RockyLinux 9.

And I'm moving from RHEL to RockyLinux because I just don't want the yearly annoyance of having to renew the Developer Subscription license.

That's how reliable it is: I have to look up my notes once a year, and it's too much.

I run most of my stuff in containers anyway, and podman is just great.

> for example, I'm not aware of many classic Toolbox applications that had bottom window status bar

I think that’s more either because they yet had to be invented or because giving up 16 or so pixels on a screen (the menu bar was 20 pixels high, IIRC) that’s only 342 pixels high wasn’t desirable.

> A few early applications just assumed 512x342 fullscreen (i.e. MacPaint.)

I think MacPaint can be forgiven for that. It was a miracle that it ran on a Mac with 128kB RAM.

An application on that machine had about 28kB free for a program. MacPaint allowed you to edit a 50kB bitmap, double-buffering the screen to avoid flicker, with full undo.

(And yes, paging to floppy disk isn’t fast. It did work, though)
Ah satire. ;)

Package manager: dynamic libraries! Or if you want to get really advanced, pkg-config and related. (or static libraries even. Common enough in embedded space!)

Dynamic analyzer : valgrind, gdb, Visual Studio, xCode, ...

Cross compiling : more platforms supported by C compilers than by any other build tool. Oh sure, you need to eventually watch byte sizes (as 8 bit bytes are a fairly narrow set of platforms), and know something about the platform's kernel API (if any, lots of embedded platforms are just hardware interactions!).

So I'll assume this is satire.

I don't know if I'd call myself a "hobbyist" for keyboards, but my mechanical keyboard that I am typing this on, and that I bought in 2021, cost me $35 after tax. Obviously not the cheapest keyboard in the world, but also within the reach of nearly any employed person in a rich country like the US or UK.

I posted this in a sibling comment, but it doesn't really have to be expensive regardless. I got started with the homelab stuff with a partially broken laptop. Considering that that laptop was about to go into the trash, I consider that (sort of) free to get started, but even if you don't have an old laptop lying around you can purchase a used "Craigslist Special" for basically nothing, generally less than $200, and often much much much less because you probably have a friend or coworker that has an old laptop lying around that they'd be happy if you took off their hands. Old laptops are kind of in this frustrating category of being "too good to throw away, but not good enough to use", so people will often hoard them inadvertently. Additionally, they're extremely ubiquitous; most households in the US have at least one laptop, and often at least one per person.

Even rack mount servers (used) cost very little, at least upfront. My server with 128gb of RAM and 24 cores was $150, but of course the power draw is where most of the cost for that comes from, so for those you could argue that they're a rich man's hobby.

ETA:

For those interested, the listing I ordered from a few years ago on Amazon appears to have mutated into a different item, but this one appears to be an identical product. I think for the price it's actually a really decent keyboard. I'm able to get about 120WPM on MonkeyType with it, for what it's worth.

In the US just because a person doesn't get much actual care at an ER that doesn't necessarily mean that they didn't have good cause to go there.

Some ERs don't always provide the level of care that they should, some doctors/insurance companies require patients to go to the ER for anything they need after office hours, and sometimes there's a need to be seen for something because of perfectly reasonable and valid concerns that it might be more serious than it ultimately ends up being.

While it's possible that the commenter's visit to the ER was a "waste of time and resources" I don't think it's fair to assume that from what was said.
Exactly this!

Replace "novel" with "nude pictures" and the moral side of this becomes much more obvious.

It doesn't matter if he had dementia. It doesn't matter if people appreciate the novel or if his kids feel that "it's important to release it". The novel was his creation and he specifically did not want it released.

You find it amusing that Apple vets their developers by … vetting their developers?
I don't think there is a strategy, this is all theater so he has some pushback if investors file complaints or lawsuits during the next quarterly results meeting. They can't say that Tim Cook didn't do everything in his power to make them even *more* money.

Since, ultimately, his duty as a CEO is to prioritize the financial wealth of shareholders. If he just complied with the EU then he'd be voted out by the board by the end of the week.

Is he going overboard? I think so. But I've also never owned a $2T+ company with investors and an entire government breathing down my neck.

What happens if a worker goes silent for longer than the heartbeat duration, then a new worker is spawned, then the original worker “comes back to life”? For example, because there was a network partition, or because the first worker’s host machine was sleeping, or even just that the first worker process was CPU starved?

Had a Tuxedo a few years back. It would randomly get a black screen (backlight still on, just black pixels). Happens randomly and I've never seen anything in jurnalctl or similar logs.

The case was slightly bent from factory (did wobble a bit when on a table) I sent it in and the "fixed" it (they didn't).

I never was really happy with it and I was pretty expensive for what I could afford as a CS student (like 1100€).
> the basis for determining the value of human work is not primarily the kind of work being done but the fact that the one who is doing it is a person

That's backwards. The value of work is how useful the end product is.

If neither you nor anyone else derives value from the work, it doesn't matter that it was done by a human. If you do it because you enjoy it, fine - but then it's not work, it's leisure.
Please stop picking stupid fights, Apple. You keep losing them.

I thought it supported a few use cases:

* Testing prompt behavior across various LLMs
* Sharing those prompts across multiple applications

We currently use a jupyter notebook to iterate, test, and validate prompts. Then move those prompts to our production app written in C#. If there were a C# SDK, I could use this tool to create a prompts config file and share it between the jupyter notebook and the C# app. The config file could also be added to version control.

Having said that, I don't understand why it saves the output of the LLM so maybe I'm missing something.
