That's really annoying, but not quite the same as what Notepad++ (and presumably others) do.

Notepad++ just saves a cached version of the file without touching the original until you explicitly hit "Save". If you close the file in Notepad++ (not exit Notepad++, but tell Notepad++ to close the file thus deleting the cache), it will ask whether you want to save your work.
The article skips a lot of context to make it sound significantly worse than reality. Facebook didn't just randomly give Netflix access to everyone's messages. Specific user would need to purposefully log in to the Netflix app with their Facebook account in order to grant Netflix access to the chat functionality (intended to send movie recommendations to Facebook friends inside the Netflix app).

Are they fully reflashable or can be just parameter adjusted? I have a random power steering ECU, it came with a mask ROM variant of a Fujitsu MPU. Having a microcontroller != having a field malware programmable micro.
As a diesel engine mechanic, you never get a free lunch. Forklifts and loaders eat tires because torque, so I always imagined electric cars might too.

How long do the motors last? They can't be sound after 100k. Or are they?
I remember there was an episode where this happens with a prison tattoo-- some of them can contain heavy metals that react in an MRI.
It is quite obviously good for the people doing it. No one would ever debate that. It is incumbent upon supporters to explain why this is good for the native population. Shouldn't that be the priority?
I disagree. I dont see any reason users wouldn't equally share the risk if neither party did anything wrong. I suppose if the company makes a claim like "We wont share your data with anyone" then you could make that point
FB has supported e2e messaging since 2016, but it wasn't the default until 4 months ago (Dec 2023). So likely very few users had it enabled (much less on both ends needed to protect a message from FB).

The netflix deal starts in 2013. Even after 2016, e2e would just mean netflix would get slightly fewer messages.

So I don't see anything that would necessarily indicate FB is lying about e2e.
It's worth noting that in some cases it might be cheaper to outright purchase a CPAP machine online than to get a diagnosis via a sleep study.

I got a sleep study about a decade ago, having to go in first for diagnosis and then to evaluate the right settings. Even with insurance it cost about $2000 after all was said and done due to limited coverage and out of pocket fees. THen add the ongoing $35/month copay for renting the CPAP machine (they did not offer to sell it) and limited fee for having someone deliver it, which was a scam of an 'in-home medical visit' to set it up by handing me a box and saying where to plug in the hoses.

Meanwhile, the same machine sold for $400 online, wouldn't have required me to spend overnights in a lab or go through doctor visits every couple months for continued 'check-ups' where they read the card data to make sure I'm still using the machine to justify insurance coverage of everything beyond the $35/month fee. With automatic settings (now standard on machines, perhaps not at the time) or simply using materials online to do a few nights trial and error to figure out correct settings.

I felt like I (and my insurance carrier) was getting scammed at every point along the line. But the doctors claimed these were the hoops I had to go through to get tested and treated.

Hopefully it's a lot better today, but.. I doubt it. The CPAP did work when I finally got it, though.

As we head into the "EV future", the tail pipe emissions take a nose dive while the tire wear particles released into environment increase 1000x fold. Bye bye clean water supplies.

We don't need personal vehicles or solutions to placate personal vehicle ownership. We need solutions to diversify transportation options beyond existing car centric transportation. No more parking garages. No more parking lots. No more parking lots with EV chargers. We need sane city design combined with investment in public transportation that is reliable and runs 24/7; and infrastructure to support alternative forms of transportation such as bike, scooter, walking. Remove street parking for personal vehicles. Remove and tear down useless ~~~car housing~~~ parking garages and replace with mixed use residential + commercial housing.
That too, but WebGPU isn’t very well supported yet
I think the main difference between EV tire consumption and something like a V8 mustang is that the tire consumption is essentially silent.

If you floor it on a mustang you likely will squeal the tires and make a ton of racket. Especially older cars where traction control was much less effective. You know you’re doing something bad to the tires, so it’s on you.

On an EV, you can hit the accelerator and accelerate faster than that mustang without ever even chirping the tires. It still wears them out much faster, but I think the lack of “chirping” or tire squeal lulls people into thinking it’s safe. So if you do it repeatedly at every intersection or something you’ll burn through a set of tires mighty fast.
Electronics are actually really cheap.
It's getting dramatically better partially due to the steamdeck since it runs Linux. Some games might not still work in the future though due to kernel level anticheats mostly only supporting windows.

Maybe they will add Linux support in the future (for better or worse)

LongFact – Long-Form Factuality in Large Language Models
What is point exactly of saying something "might" happen 100% of the time?
“Maxima” sounds fancy, making it catnip for people trying to sound smart.
Yup.. I'd love to start a general contracting business but I don't want to in an environment I have to compete with people that are hiring illegal immigrants and children. Not because of any moral reasons but I'd like to pay a fair wage and provide benefits. I can't compete with under the table pay and I'm not breaking the law.
Well it starts with a culture of taking responsibility when adding a dependency. We want people to look at child dependencies and just think more critically about them before checking in code. This is mostly to prevent bloat but sometimes we catch unmaintained packages or accidentally pulling in a random form rather than the community supported variant, for example.

We also run SAST in our gitlab pipelines and include reviewing the output as part of the code review and release process so that we can catch CVE's that may not have been known if when we first installed a package.
IMO the whole idea is basically bullshit when applied to everyone as a blanket statement.

I know I would not be a good parent. I know I would resent the kid. It is bizarre to me too when someone who is married says this. Marriage isn't happening either for me so I 100% would be paying child support to a woman I absolutely resent too.

On the contrary, I think people who have children can not imagine the freedom that you have with never having children after 40. Children cost a fortune in currency and opportunity cost. I don't have to help with home work, pay for someone's college, pretend to have fun at some boring kids baseball game. Most of all though I have to live my dreams myself because there is no kid to live them through instead.

There is simply no way I would have lived the life I have if I had children. The valuation between the two situations isn't even close in my mind. I suspect there is a huge amount of coping and denial on the part of parents because once the kid is on its way, what else are you going to do?
I think something like https://bigtimelicense.com/ is a good start.
Late twenties and 32 are 3 year difference. I don't see a meaningful difference between those two ages.
You kid, but I imagine this will quickly be abused by bad actors to harass victims of online doxxing as ordering pizzas and (in more serious cases) swatting is.
It may looking weird from first view, but as I know, things traditionally go this way :(
Blaming the victim is a reasonable take? That's genuinely insane.

I would enumerate a number of immediate logical consequences of this idiocy, but that would be illegal (a shame, really).
Was there a particular catalyst or just a combination of factors?
I'd say the vision impaired are going to understand what "ay-one-one-why" means about as fast as the rest of us. I'm not a fan of the cutesy letter-number jargon either, if you're typing about it in Slack, sure, okay, but it shouldn't escape confinement.

But it's equal-opportunity annoying I reckon: no one knows what the hell `a11y` is about when they first see/hear it, but not in a way that's more onerous for screen reader and braille users than for anyone else.
According to Kay, Xerox made more on the royalties for the laser printer alone than it cost to run the lab -- over 200 times more. They made a killing on PARC tech, just not as much as they could have if they were helmed by someone like Jobs or Gates.

This looks cool! Your website really should feature a couple of sample videos, though, since without finding the links in your post here it is hard to tell what the final results look like.
Good luck! There's little to no incentive because the information available to consumers is highly distorted.

Nutrition Facts don't actually reflect the real amount of nutrients in, say, a tomato. For simplicity the manufacturers just look up 'Tomato' in an official government table. This is an obvious case of regulatory failure and/or capture.

Clearly the government must force food manufacturers to pay for frequent, unannounced, randomized, third-party, certified laboratory testing, and report the real levels of nutrients in their products. The current labeling scheme is state-sanctioned fraud on a massive scale.
Although I agree with you every time I think of that book I'm reminded that Charles Manson read it in prison and it no doubt helped him is his later years.

Akshually ... they eat tires because of the application of torque. Drive sedately and get great tire life.

Why would you think an electric motor would wear out in 100,000 miles? Brushless AC motors can last tens of thousands of hours of operation.
Pretty much as long as any 3 phase AC motor lasts. I.E. forever.

Two. Bombardier had the knowledge and capability to design and manufacture the A220. They could do it again.
That's certainly one example of a counter-argument. One might even consider the literacy rate falling from 96% to 79% as another.
GE seems like another firm / conglomerate that has lost its way - although we have heard about Jack Welch's management disaster, I do not know if they lost engineers the way it happened at Boeing.

Last year, I bought GE Monogram kitchen appliances and was pleased that they work so well, until I found that it is a Chinese firm that has bought the use of GE's name along with their operations. Maybe that is why the appliances work well, and Chinese century is already on its way

Of course an admin can always open up the database and read your forum PMs, that's not surprising. The very first line in the link you provided, however, is what I was worried about:

> Moderators can read PMs that have an active flag.

This system is now setting nsfw flags in an automated fashion, specifically seeking out content that the persons involved wouldn't want others to see. Clearly a forum is the wrong place for that content, but people don't always make good decisions (especially kids; I was a kid on forums too and would be very surprised if nothing ever transpired there). The receiving person can already flag anything they deem inappropriate. A system making automated decisions about messages that were intended to be private creates problems and it is not clear to me who this serves

Which companies? The ones who had quality and lost it? There's not a lot of defense against being purchased on the open market, as happened with Boeing. Or Simmons is another good example: https://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/05/business/economy/05simmon...

The real problem here is the US's dominant business culture, which tends to value short-term cash extraction over long-term value creation. There are a lot of practical incentives for that, but the culture problem itself will have a lot of inertia, so I think we're going to have to look for a generational change.
Very real problem
Evolution of the most powerful ocean current on Earth
My understanding is that it’s the other way around. The Jews despised the Samaritans. The Samaritans were the hayseed, “deplorable” Israelites left behind when Israel was conquered by the Persians and the elites carted off to Babylon. When the elites returned, they who became the Samaritans offered to help rebuild the Temple, but they who became who we know as the Jews spurned their offer.

"TLS allows us to send data over the vast collection of publicly visible networks we call the internet with the confidence that no one can see our private information, such as a password or credit card number, when we provide it to a site."

TLS also allows a so-called "tech" company to send and receive data over someone else's private, local network that is connected to the internet with the confidence that computer users and the network owner on that local network cannot see the contents of the traffic. In order to properly consent to sending data to a so-called "tech" company, it is arguable that the consent should be informed, i.e., the computer user should be able to see what data is being sent. Was the concealment of unconsented data exfiltration the intended purpose of TLS. These so-called "tech" companies have a record of breaching public trust, hiding their surreptitious data collection from public view, in order to generate revenue and profit. This is often made the subject of civil lawsuits and regulatory fines that are rarely if ever successfully challenged. The companies almost invariably give in and pay up.
False. In order to process a user's data, you must inherently hold it while processing it.

Alternatively, stop being pedantic.

EV tires usually have poor grip in the interests of low rolling resistance/increased range. This would result in more chirping at the same acceleration. Plus, since there’s no engine, there’s no sound when driving (besides wind) to cover up the sound of tire wear. So I’m not sure this explanation holds up.
The motors are physically very simple and will likely outlive the rest of the car. According to Tesla they should last a million miles.
The economic growth that allowed sufficient attention to medical advances didn't bring the average newborn's lifespan from 1930's 30 years to today's 80 years by increasing the lifespan of the top one percent to 10,000 years - it applies generally to everyone except the very poorest.

There are multiple use cases besides the obvious/primary ones of being an alternative means of permissionless value transfer and enabling novel distributed trading instruments (DEFI).

Example: Figure (providing home equity loans) used provenance chain for backend functions such as origination, securitization, and lifecycle management. Many of the "business" use cases are in these opaque areas such as settlements.

When you see knee-jerk comments “tHeRe’s nO uSe CaSe” it’s understandable that most people don’t know what they don’t know about the backend of finance. Yes, there’s a lot of bullshit in the space, and there’s also a lot of valid infrastructure being built. It’s not going away.
I'm experienced electronics designer, and must say, I have not seen thing, could be named standard communications module in your meaning.

Yes, I seen GSM modules, I even seen modules which sold with one naming, when first batches was GSM 2.5 (GPRS) and late batches was 3G.

But I have not seen any 4G or 5G modules which could just replace 3G modules - every time need totally redesign all scheme and replace antenna.

There's a lot of better ways to do this. For starters, the sp script is bash. He could just edit the script. There's also a function for returning the metadata in machine-parseable syntax:

function sp-metadata {
# Prints the currently playing track in a parseable format.

dbus-send \
--print-reply `# We need the reply.` \
--dest=$SP_DEST \
$SP_PATH \
org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get \
string:"$SP_MEMB" string:'Metadata' \
| grep -Ev "^method" `# Ignore the first line.` \
| grep -Eo '("(.*)")|(\b[0-9][a-zA-Z0-9.]*\b)' `# Filter interesting fiels.`\
| sed -E '2~2 a|' `# Mark odd fields.` \
| tr -d '\n' `# Remove all newlines.` \
| sed -E 's/\|/\n/g' `# Restore newlines.` \
| sed -E 's/(xesam:)|(mpris:)//' `# Remove ns prefixes.` \
| sed -E 's/^"//' `# Strip leading...` \
| sed -E 's/"$//' `# ...and trailing quotes.` \
| sed -E 's/"+/|/' `# Regard "" as seperator.` \
| sed -E 's/ +/ /g' `# Merge consecutive spaces.`
}

But as the other replier mentioned, the point was to show off an example of how text manipulation skills can solve many problems, not solve this specific problem in the best way possible.
In my experience, the term "tribal knowledge" is a pejorative, and has been disparaged by many authors (some, that I respect).

Also, in my experience, "tribal knowledge" is an essential ingredient in classical Maximum Quality engineering. I'm not saying that it's the only way, but I have seen many, many other ways fail.

It's something that -no exaggeration- humans have been doing for thousands of years.

It's just that we have a crew at the top that sincerely believe they know better. Every now and then, one hits it out of the park.

Selling 6 planes is nothing. It wouldn’t even cover the standby aircraft of many fleets. You need large orders to make it feasible, and you need a strong product to secure those orders. FedEx, UPS and co. aren’t going to fund you long term unless you have a product and you need good teams and good funding to even get you to that starting block.

Boom is probably the closest thing to what is suggested but many still doubt they will make it to production. That’s minimal investment though and mostly around options on orders, so they still need massive funding to get there. Rolls Royce and others have said it’s not viable to design an engine for them so now they have to design the airframe and the engine.

Bombardier is an example of why new entrants should be concerned. As soon as you become a close threat, you don’t really trigger competition you trigger massive protectionism which forces them to sell the design to airbus, further consolidating the market

I think the incumbents would have to be broken up to seed any new competition that is remotely viable. The Boeing story has some way to go yet though, who knows

ETH is not a memecoin and it has a real economic model. It's used to pay transaction fees, which are mostly burned. There's a small amount of issuance but most of the time that's less than the burn, so the supply shrinks. You can model it as a company, where fee burn is revenue, issuance is cost, the net is earnings, and earnings are distributed to ETH holders like a company doing stock buybacks. You can calculate a PE ratio; when I checked sometime last year the PE was around 100.
Was wondering the same. Of course a lot of code is going to need to be new, moving away from Windows-specific APIs, but that's only a lower layer (or so it seems to me). Everything from the versatile search and replace (e.g. regex engine), the macros system, the syntax highlighting, the session management... all that code needn't have been rewritten, people clearly like it working the way it is

This is grossly untrue in a way that denotes surface-level familiarity on several fronts

You're referring to the needle-in-a-haystack retrieval problem.

Which the person you're replying to explicitly mentioned is the only benchmark providers are using, for good reason.

Consider the "translate Moby Dick to comedic zoomer" problem. This does not even come remotely close to working unless I do it in maximum chunks of 5,000 tokens.

Consider the API output limit of 4096 tokens, across all providers.

And no, you shouldn't assume effectively infinite (RAG free) context in the near future. This time last year, Anthropic was demonstrating 120,000 token context. It released 200K a few weeks ago. And runtime cost scales with N^2.

I believe it will add some spice to the model, but you shouldn't go too far at that direction. Any social system has a rule set, which has to be learnt and remembered, not infered.

Two exmaples. (1) grammars in natural languages. You can just see in another commenter here uses "a local maxima", and then how people react to that. I didn't even notice becuase English grammar has never been native to me. (2) Mostly, prepositions between two languages, no matter how close they are, don't have a direct mapping. The learner just has to remember it.
