Thanks for linking gpsjam -- flightradar24's map is total trash by comparison (colours, lack of borders).

Does anyone know if a similar service covers things like GLONASS, Galileo or BeiDou?

EDIT: nevermind, these services can't distinguish. From the FAQ:

> The ADS-B data used by this map includes information on the accuracy of the navigation system used by each aircraft, but doesn't specify the type of navigation system. It could be GPS, another global navigation satellite system (GNSS) like GLONASS, or it could be an inertial navigation system (INS). My understanding is that most aircraft are using GPS, so that's probably mostly what the map shows.

Why would there be? The writing was on the wall that this was important 10 years ago and no one moved on it, in fact AMD and Apple both fumbled OpenCL then proceeded to waste several more years after that.

I know some people don't like Nvidia but like their competition had their opportunity and what needed to be done spelt out to them and did nothing.
For info, I checked and it looks like none of my AGPL licensed repos are included in The Stack. Neither are my private repos.
People went to Australia and many remote islands in the oceans thousands of years ago. Probably had as good boats as the guys in the Mediterranean.
Hmm, I do see some of my repos there, but only public ones. It would seem a bit too foolish of GitHub to put private repositories in a public dataset.

Is there any other corroboration or proof?
I'd be careful with strenuous exercise, it may cause PEM. See comments below.
Silicon Labs partners with Arduino to democratize Matter
That's your opinion and definitely not fact. I talk about asbestos on site. Hell I've even called work cover and reported the company I worked for, for improper handling. Some of us take safety seriously. Even if we come across as cowboys I'm not gonna risk your future just because some office monkey chose the wrong product. They want the risk, pay the hell up.
Nvidia was forced to do that because it was so early, they had no customers except PhDs. I see no evidence AMD wants to do that right now, and instead focusing on extracting value from deep pocket enterprise customers.

The way things go, I think the AMD consumer card experience will only get better once AMD manage to gimp consumer cards’ ML throughput or RAM.
NixOS finally convinced me to switch, since the declarative config and rollback functionality meant I went from accidentally bricking (or at minimum "mysteriously unstabling") each previous Linux distro I tried at least once a year (NixOS basically gives you built-in safety belts to counter all the untested possible Linux configurations) to being able to mess with configs to my hearts' content with aplomb (since backing out is trivial and can be done in GRUB). It really feels like "Linux, unleashed" and like I've made the "final distro hop." There is a feeling of "Yep, this is it!" I have the same fearless feeling to alter configs that I have in macOS, except with, you know, more open-source and less walled-garden...

Plus, I can finally boot off ZFS and a mirrored boot drive with no worries thanks to an excellently written guide and first-class ZFS support (just pick the latest ZFS-compatible kernel via a special config that automatically does this for you!)

The negative of course is that Nix/NixOS have a learning curve. Once you grok it, though, you will literally want to install it on ALL your machines. It has eliminated so many headaches (assuming you can find the right option to tweak).
I mean, OK, you could say the same about literally every public expenditure?

I'm passionately opposed to private automobiles and the fact that my tax money goes to subsidizing them (including stupid road upkeep etc)

unfortunately I don't get to choose not to pay for that (but I can choose to live in a place like Paris where the Mayor is taking active steps to support not only private automobiles but give equal importance to other modes of transport)

I'd say this is a "yes", and remember that there's a ton of work that doesn't involve actually training models. Every company right now has a big need for help in infrastructure, data pipelines, ops, monitoring + dashboards, internal tools, CI/CD, release management, etc.

> If only 1 or 2 people were struggling with obesity then sure maybe it would be a them issue, but this issue effects so many people that it’s got to be something far deeper than there being some sort of moral failing of the individual suffering from obesity.

I don't understand why we just take anecdotes seriously in conversations about weight, in a way that we simply would not anywhere else. We have data about this. There's boatloads of studies over decades and decades.

Obesity is genetic and epigenetic, and it's a chronic condition. Most people when exposed to an environment with lots of food/stress/etc will gain weight. Some will become obese. Some will not. Those that don't, will increase their energy expenditure and return to roughly normal in time. Those that become obese will not. [1]

We know those who become obese have an insanely hard time losing the weight because when they try, their metabolism slows down and their hunger goes up well in excess of what would be expected based on their reduction in fat mass. As you were beginning to experience, substantially everyone who loses a clinically significant amount of weight will return to roughly where they started over a few years without meaningful intervention.

I'm not arguing against their position. Rather, I'm citing their position on theming to argue that it would feel inconsistent for them to hold that position on theming, but then also have a position of encouraging downstream distros to customize the whole UI/UX of the DE.
It tracks private flights too. I'm only tangentially familiar (though I have an ADS-B receiver reporting to FR24), but my understanding is that it's not required for private flight now, but more and more aircraft are being retrofitted.

Actually, it's more about airspace:

https://www.aopa.org/go-fly/aircraft-and-ownership/ads-b/whe...

"The FAA requires ADS-B Out capability in the continental United States, in the ADS-B rule airspace designated by FAR 91.225:

Class A, B, and C airspace;

Class E airspace at or above 10,000 feet msl, excluding airspace at and below 2,500 feet agl;

Within 30 nautical miles of a Class B primary airport (the Mode C veil);

Above the ceiling and within the lateral boundaries of Class B or Class C airspace up to 10,000 feet;

Class E airspace over the Gulf of Mexico, at and above 3,000 feet msl, within 12 nm of the U.S. coast."

You could also use a single receiver with a small antenna array (GPS wavelength is around 20 cm) to estimate the angle of arrival of the incoming signals.
All AI is untrustworthy. Many people have been saying this since the start, and there's not really any evidence that AI will or can attain perfection. Set your expectations accordingly.

P.S.: There is no greener pasture. If you've been following the scene since the BERT/GPT-2 days, it becomes readily apparent how "far" text generators have come. They got bigger, more expensive, slower, censored, and 10-20% better at solving human reasoning problems. There is no light at the tunnel suggesting infallible LLMs are coming. You are being sold a moving goalpost.

Oh come on, the NYPD swallowed 5 billion in public funds, the most of any city on earth. Crime is near an all-time low. Hell, they could probably slash half that budget without causing the crime sprees the NY post implies could happen at any time. This is the worst excuse to avoid funding subsidized housing when the latter would probably have a greater impact on whether people were desperate enough to turn to crime. Saying NY needs to be more secure is just fear mongering at this point.
Were those repos always private?
IIRC... the European geographic grid is tied to the continental plate, and there are sampling points around the perimeter of the continent whose positions are updated with cm-scale accuracy at least yearly.

Yes so stop freaking out over relatively low crime. Remember the lessons from that time.
I'm stoked to see an article shedding some light on this! Yes, the best practices for how we treat concussions is shifting and some people are not getting the best advice post-concussion.

The discussion about who to blame is a little naive IMO. Doctors do not learn everything they need to know to be doctors in medical school. Largely, they learn the foundations of medicine that they need to be successful in a residency. In residency is where they will learn the things they need to know about how to treat patients in their specialty. The authors primary care physician was very likely taught about concussions in residency, before these new guidelines came out, and simply has not updated their practice to be in line with the new guidelines... Science changes and I'm sure it is hard to stay on top of each new thing that comes out but at the end of the day, that is the job of the physician to stay on top of new developments.
GNOME is somewhat frustrating to me because there’s a number of things that I feel it gets more “right” than KDE, at least for me, but there’s about as many things that it doesn’t. KDE gets a lot of things “somewhat right” but also gets more less wrong, making it maybe better overall but still not leaving me satisfied.

I appreciate that both exist free of charge as the result of a lot of time that people didn’t have to volunteer and shouldn’t be taken for granted. I’m glad both exist and continue to be maintained, but regardless, the situation leaves me much less jazzed about the Linux desktop than I’d like to be.

Window manager setups might be a solution, but they take a lot of effort to make as polished as any of the major DEs, requiring the user to hunt down daemons to get tray items and the like. They also have a strong disposition towards hyper-minimal tiling which isn’t my thing, something along the lines of openbox is probably the most minimal I’d want to go but WMs like that don’t see much fanfare.

Is that a bad thing?
Most of New York has 10-15 floors buildings with wide streets. Light and fresh air isn't a problem. But you can't really widen Paris street and the uniformity of the architecture is what makes it a beautiful city. Tourists aren't flocking to Paris to take pictures of some boring glass and concrete buildings.

1 - not short-termism

interesting idea! yeah next big challenge for us is hallucination in null fields (IE: if you ask for a "name" from text that doesn't have a name you usually get "John") so need to add more sampling heuristics to doublecheck against the input blob for a sense of if it's an accurate extraction
Yes, timing is critical, especially post-2020 when remote jobs have increased, and a single job posting that would typically receive 500+ applications now receives 1000+ applications in a day! As a writer specializing in different content forms, including resume writing, I can tell you that there is a "science meets art" approach to resumes, but it is mostly science now. I speak with job applicants every day: if you are not getting interviews, it's not your fault; it's your resume. Most people will spend hours updating their resume to look eye-catching, adding their impressive accomplishments (rightfully so), etc. Unfortunately, it still does not meet the criteria needed to pass through the ATS to get to the top of the pile and on the recruiter's desk. Most people are used to constructing resumes the way they were done when recruiters reviewed them manually (that's when the artistic-looking resume caught their attention before they read it) - it's an entirely different game now with a machine.

Something I don't understand...

I imagine that canary questions sometimes come up in non-publicly-disclosed legal proceedings, as well as in the occasional extra-legal practice.

If that actually does happen, and canaries ever failed to stand up in them, then how many lawyers would ever be in a position to hear about those failures, such that the lawyer could competently advise clients how to use canaries successfully?

Would the lawyer have to have been the veteran top litigator who handled the situations that reached the ear of the ACLU, or who previously worked on those situations on behalf of some facet of government?

Or is there sufficiently binding official assurance from government that canaries done a certain way are OK, no matter what happens in some non-public meeting?

(BTW, I really like your company. Though, as much as its canary looked like probably a signal of principled old-school Internet techie values, it also looked like potentially a bit of a magnet for trouble, in business it might attract, and in who it might antagonize. The tech choices there seem be heavy on minimizing risk of IT drama, but the canary seemed to flirt with drama.)
Then they can market this universal GPT as an AGI.

> You’d think that this would have meant a revolution in how doctors understand and treat concussions. It hasn’t.

The article takes a surprised tone that doctors haven’t updated their practices in line with the latest studies, but that’s not usually how doctors work. Doctors aren’t intrinsically academics, and aren’t necessarily hooked into the scientific literature. Doctors don’t get their orders direct from science, they follow the practices of their peers and network. New knowledge percolates slowly and conservatively through that network.
Sure! Happy to review your resume and give you pointers.

Not true. Things have degraded considerably for ChatGPT.

I'm a neckbeard and I vastly prefer GNOME Shell to any other DE (including proprietary ones like on Windows and macOS). I still don't consider myself a "fan" and I have plenty of complaints about it- I just have way more complaints about all the others... :D
Yes, but that doesn't change the fact that out of all the accounts included, most of them won't be actively playing games right now.
This is a really big claim. I think we need specifics on this - I'm inclined to think this is people not understanding the GitHub public/private repo model (or misremembering the history of their repos) over GitHub deliberately leaking private code to third parties.
Those were fun times! (& great to see you again after all these years). It's astonishing to me how far the tech has come given what we were working on at the time.
I guess not for the people who think they are entitled to the rest of the population subsidising their lifestyle.
You might get some of that if rent is raised by percentage. When I started my current job my salary was an integer multiple of $10,000. I got a raise at the end of my first year that was an integer percentage (3%, IIRC) so my salary was then an integer multiple of $100. The following year I got a raise again (it might have been an integer percentage, I don't recall) and my salary was just some random-looking integer.

Rent-controlled Berkeley apartments are allowed to increase rent by some fixed percentage, so maybe you can see this in your data? But I don't think the math would work out so cleanly.
It was a huge mistake to monetize GPTs. I and many other AI enthusiasts would have probably developed plenty of useful GPTs for free. But now I would never bother because nobody will see my projects under all the SEO spam and fake ratings.

Which private repos? Any that you're willing to share (I get that sharing names of private repos goes against the whole idea of them being private!)

The vast majority of people that use it aren't, but that's a feature :)

Manifold isn't an all-or-nothing proposition. It's architecture is modularized so that you can select the parts you want à la carte as separate dependencies in your build.

> At the very least, I prefer not to have any surprises in my codebase

But manifold surprises are pleasant ones :) As with any library or framework, it's a design decision: does it provide enough productivity and opportunities to offset its presence in your project? It's not a panacea.
Sure, if you live in the city proper.

But what that doesn't mention: the bike sharing schemes are hit-and-miss. I usually commute each way a good hour before rush-hour traffic, so I have a good probability of finding a usable bike. But during rush hour? Fat chance.

Oh, you're going to point out that there's a scheme helping you purchase your own bike? Indeed. What are you going to do with it, though? At home, you may be able to find a spot to park in your flat (it's not my case). You wanna leave it outside? Sure, go ahead, if you don't care about finding it in one piece in the morning. Ditto for the other end of your commute.

There's also the fact that bike sharing schemes only work in Paris proper and adjacent towns. If you want to commute in from further away [0], you better be ready to ride in traffic and have your own bike, assuming you don't live that far. If you're lucky enough to live in one of the places served by the new metro, it's still not ready (but should be real soon now - fingers crossed).

So sure, having more dedicated bike lanes (and some of the new ones are actually physically separate from car lanes) is great. Although sometimes the layout is... puzzling? Bike lanes switching from the left to the right side of the roads, narrow two-way lanes (Bd Sébastopol), etc.

But I wouldn't exactly call it a "revolution" in practice. My commute goes from the east to the northwest of the city, around 7 km. Of these, only around 1 km is a bike lane separate from the traffic. And it's ridiculously narrow. Bonus points for it being painted with a slippery paint for some reason (look up Boulevard Magenta). The rest is half on bike lanes shared with a bus, the other half on regular roads with no bike lane at all.

But then no one adds an app for a few months, during which the requirements change but the script isn't updated. Then it fails and someone who wasn't there when it was written is off in the weeds trying to sherlock the reason this thing exists in the first place and how to update it, making their minor change seem much larger & riskier to reviewers. Or worse it doesn't fail, but the incomplete run introduces a defect no one is looking for.

You simply can't make judgements about what should be done to a codebase from a distance in the abstract like this. Sometimes you should write the script, sometimes you shouldn't. You need specific knowledge of the circumstances to exercise good judgement about it which we certainly don't have from this comment section.
