This risks starting a nuclear war by accident. It's not certain DPRK can/will reliably distinguish a decapitating strike by the US military, from some random hacker trying to show off (by committing acts of war).

Who the heck knows how DPRK's nuclear command and control works? Who knows which parts are unexpectedly vulnerable, or how the paranoid, malnourished generals will interpret scary situations that wake them up at 3am? It'd be a ridiculously sutpid way to start a nuclear exchange—and I think it's a plausible one, I don't understand any reason to confidently reject it. Wars have always started for incredibly dumb reasons: a 19-year-old vigilante hero started World War I all by himself.
I don't think you can have a ring or a field without additive inverses.

Additive inverse: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Additive_inverse :

> For a number (and more generally in any ring), the additive inverse can be calculated using multiplication by −1; that is, −n = −1 × n. Examples of rings of numbers are integers, rational numbers, real numbers, and complex numbers

Must there be an additive inverse of zero?

There was no concept of zero in early mathematics or in Roman numerals.

0 (number) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0

Division by signed or unsigned zero is undefined with Integers, Rationals, and Reals.

1/x is not equivalent to 2/x at any point other than x=0, where their signed tendency is toward a limit with positive and/or negative infinity.

IEEE-754 also specifies only three infinities: positive, negative, and unsigned.

Conway's surreal infinities are multiple.

Fairly, aren't there infinity infinities? Infinity_n. Perhaps one for each different symbolic value, but which cancel out as multiplicative inverses?

If 1/x != 2/x at any real point, it defies intuition that their limits are equally -/+ infinity.
Do language models plan ahead for future tokens?
Sounds like they would have been able to sell more cars to Hertz.

Depending on when they negotiated the relevant stuff, Tesla might have thought they needed to contribute more to the deal to sell even the cars they ended up selling already.
I have not done the math here in a long time, but as I understand it:

You could produce about 8KG of CH4 with 2KG of H2 and 6KG of C or 22KG of CO2.

At $250/MT would work out to about $5.50 and the 2kg of H2 would be $5 assuming $2.50/kg so lets say $10 for simplicity.

1kg of CH4 at STP is 1,396L (according to GPT since I'm lazy right now) which is about 50cf.

That's not even close to $10kcf (assuming that this means killo-cubic-feet which as a Canadian makes me cringe).
Feigned outrage is all I see. A topless photo is not "softcore porn." What an absurd take.
Please explain how its ironic.
thank you, I was really confused by the chart.
It's kind of odd that you would use 1 as a nominator.

both indexes next to each other are maybe more intuitive:

I've never used Hertz specifically much because companies I've worked for have typically had relationships with different major car rental companies so those were cheaper.

I guess I've been lucky over the years. I've managed to avoid an actual accident but I've always gotten away with the odd scrape here and there. Never too bad but multiple things I could have been dinged for.
Why not? Have you seen the top 10? It couldn’t be any worse than what it is now. People who reach the top 10 are rarely there for the “art”. A lot of them don’t even write their own songs or music.
And yet Elon does massive PR stunts on the regular, including smashing a Cybertruck's windows at a launch event. Curious...
The whole point of the top comment is that they appreciate how this library chose not to associate behavior with state, and instead organized things as functions and data structures.

With the latter approach, the user is not limited to the bahaviors that the library author wrote. The data (not state) can be used freely. Similarly, the functions are not tied to any particular state - the data can come from anywhere, as long as it has the right shape.
Great choice to go with Rust for the implementation!
Doesn’t even need to be seasonal.

Plenty of times+places where you only need heating at night and still have some net electrical draw (because the sun isn’t shining at night).

Also, cold fronts move in with a lot of wind, but then it can stay cold a few days with calm winds until a warm-front moves in.
Yes, totally agree. I really wish they would disaggregate GDP by Geography and Income bracket. If you factor out London's GDP the rest of the UK has a GDP/capita similar to Mississippi, the State with the lowest GDP in the USA.

The anglosphere may have high GDP/capita but if you factor by Income bracket, that GDP is heavily concentrated in the top income brackets.
When I first moved back to Alabama, I took a job running 6 different 5 axis CNC machines for a Korean company.

They had a policy that forced every new hire to go through a temp hire process and work for at least 3 months before being hired on with the company and receiving benefits and decent pay.

There was no way I was going to allow myself to do the same work for less pay and no benefits for 3 entire months or more.

So after my first week I told the materials engineer that I would need to leave early on a Friday because I had a job interview.

I told him that at 9:30am and by 1pm he offered me a full time position. I was the only person who had ever skirted around the temp hire process and it upset quite a few people. But I knew what I was worth.
> This code makes the (reasonable) assumption that the number of properties stored directly in a JSObject must be less than the total number of properties of that object. However, assuming these numbers are simply stored as integers somewhere in the JSObject, an attacker could corrupt one of them to break this invariant. Subsequently, the access into the (out-of-sandbox) std::vector would go out of bounds. Adding an explicit bounds check, for example with an SBXCHECK, would fix this.

> Encouragingly, nearly all "sandbox violations" discovered so far are like this: trivial (1st order) memory corruption bugs such as use-after-frees or out-of-bounds accesses due to lack of a bounds check. Contrary to the 2nd order vulnerabilities typically found in V8, these sandbox bugs could actually be prevented or mitigated by the approaches discussed earlier. In fact, the particular bug above would already be mitigated today due to Chrome's libc++ hardening. As such, the hope is that in the long run, the sandbox becomes a more defensible security boundary than V8 itself
Bitluni's video about this project is linked in the article: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdF_nzMW_i8
> Similarly, disabling the JIT compilers would also only be a partial solution: historically, roughly half of the bugs discovered and exploited in V8 affected one of its compilers while the rest were in other components such as runtime functions, the interpreter, the garbage collector, or the parser. Using a memory-safe language for these components and removing JIT compilers could work, but would significantly reduce the engine's performance (ranging, depending on the type of workload, from 1.5–10× or more for computationally intensive tasks).

If you're willing to take the performance hit, Chromium actually allows you to disable JIT easily in the Settings and add exceptions for certain sites. Open the Settings and search for V8 Optimiser.
How would that actually help long term though? Imagine they write off their entire entire fleet in 1 year. Yes they pay less tax that year, but in future years when they sell their old cars that are worth nothing for lots of money they'll have a load of extra tax to pay.

I can see how it lets you move tax around in time a bit but that's it (and it's often allowed explicitly anyway).

Am I missing something or is this the common "tax write-off = magical money" misunderstanding?
At the end of the quote you excluded this:

"We find a redistribution from low- to high-FICO consumers regardless of income."

Poor people have low FICO scores. There are also high-income people with poor FICO scores. Both are involved.

"Thus, high-income consumers with high FICO scores benefit from reward credit cards largely at the expense of high-income consumers with low FICO scores."

The high-income people have much more money, thus have more to contribute to the pool of money going to high-income high-FICO people.

But poor people, who already don't have much money, are also contributing to this pool of money going to high-income high FICO people. And more to the point, it impacts poor people much more, because... they're poor.

So it's not completely the opposite, it's just inaccurate. The poor are subsidizing the rich, and the rich are subsidizing the rich. The difference is, there is a much larger effect on the poor, because... they're poor. They have less access to credit and that lack of access affects them more. A small amount of money lost has a larger impact.

In addition to all this, people of color also have lower FICO scores, so not only is it a burden on the poor, it's a burden on people of color (and the young in general). https://finmasters.com/average-credit-score/ https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/28/black-and-hispanic-americans...

Feeling. Solid state devices always felt more durable to me. I know I won't use too many writes on the NAS, but mostly read.

And then there's "rare" access time: If you don't want to spend power on spinning disks, you need to wait some time for them to spin up if you want to access your NAS.
I could understand some kind of ancient system not having the detail or knowledge to explain what happened in particular, but this is something that still happens in a lot of Microsoft software in particular.

Outlook has a consistent tendency to give you errors like "Couldn't get your mail for some reason", or Windows saying "Hey networking isn't working". No "connection timed out" or "couldn't get an IP address" or "DNS lookup failed" or any other error message that is possible to diagnose. Even the Windows network troubleshooting wizard (the "let us try to diagnose why things aren't working for you" process) would consistently give me "yeah man idk" results, when the error is that I'm not getting an address from DHCP and should be extremely easy to diagnose.

I get that in a lot of cases, problems cut across lots of errors or areas of responsibility, and getting some other team making some other library to expose their internals to your application might be difficult in an environment like Microsoft, but it's just inexplicable that so much software, even these days, resorts to "nope can't do it" and bail out.
The phrase seems to refer to journeying "beyond the established border" of the settlement. Even if this is from a colonialist perspective, that doesn't obviously make it "pro-colonialist".

I went to a conference in New York City put on by an accounting association early in the crypto phenomenon where someone from the DTCC described a blockchain-based system they were developing for trading gold in London which supported scenarios such as "I have a claim on some gold bar in a vault" and "I have a claim on a specific gold bar in a vault". I also saw a demo of a swap trading system running on a private Ethereum instance, I thought that was interesting because I was making demos around swap regulation at that time.
Who is the audience for this article? Anyone who has read Frost's body of work understands there is a plaintive, wistful, and dark nature to his poetry. The article even goes so far as to invoke the classic high-school, "guys, The Road Less Traveled might actually be a sad poem!" discussion as though it's an interesting or novel point and not the whole reason that one gets taught so widely. Seems like the author is arguing with an imaginary, naive general public here, which I don't think is useful or interesting. I have to say this is a pretty embarrassing attempt at analyzing Frost.
I (thankfully) just got hired and it took 7 interviews. 6 of which included live coding. And I got lucky, as they could've said no after all that time investment.

I understand that hiring is hard and I've had bad hires before, so I know it's definitely costly. I've had candidates with years of experience that couldn't code, so I get some of it.

But at the same time it's almost insulting to have to prove that I know how to code 6 times over, with 15+ years of experience.

I don't know what the solution is, but it's definitely not to steal even more free time from interviewees.
Teslas don’t have issues with superchargers, they’re billed straight to Hertz and reflected on your final bill. They’re everywhere.
What do you mean "level the playing field"? You have an NSA and a CIA. Y'all have been on the offensive for at least 200 years. All the american chips have backdoors and y'all have the biggest military budget.

But no, the playing field is "unfair"
LOL. Tesla believes heavily in PR, Musk just doesn't believe in PR departments.

That's why if you're involved in a Tesla accident, even a fatal one, Tesla will have no hesitation holding a press conference, pulling vehicle telemetry, to make sure that (rightly or wrongly) blame goes to you as the driver and not Tesla.

They'll make statements like "Autopilot wasn't to blame here. The vehicle had warned the driver of his inattentiveness", and the Tesla fans will nod their heads, reassured.

What will later come out will be that Autopilot was active, and that while a driver attention (steering wheel) warning had occurred on the fateful trip, it had happened ONCE, and that that one time was EIGHTEEN MINUTES prior to the collision.

But there won't be a press conference to correct those details.
"we weren't allowed to have a card payment fee. "

Anyone has any opinions about eye-tracking market?
Hey all, wanted to check is it only me or eye-tracking market is bit broken.

There are basically two types of tech here: hardware eye tracking (which goes into wearable or stationary tracking) and software tracking (I would say less popular).

Both are incredibly expensive and mostly focused on research, basically or you have to get expensive hardware, or you have to get expensive license for your software. And this is I guess fair in small research market, but devices like vision pro kinda shows that eye tracking, gaze aware electronics can be super comfortable and native to use for us.

Also windows for example supports natively eye tracking for dealing with disabilities (and these disabilities are ones all of us can get, by just simply skiing downhill and breaking arms, doing other type of extreme sports). But to use it you need to buy compatible hardware tracker.

I think it is bit broken, that disabled people (and technically all of us are) kinda locked out of eye tracking technology for causal use. Like you ask me: we have keyboards and touch screens so there is no reason for any eye tracking, but then we have each year flu season spreading because people touch for example same touch screens while using restaurant kiosks (like the ones you can find in mcdonalds etc), this could be done with gaze tracking and vision pro like gestures.

Or these are my thoughts, which pushed me on path to democratize bit webcam driven eye tracking tech. Like usually biggest problem for building new apps is lack or locked technology engineers cannot access and need to develop for themselves. Such step require know-how and time. So I have decided to bring open source algorithm for people to tinker: https://github.com/NativeSensors/EyeGestures and https://polar.sh/NativeSensors

It basically changes your laptop or any webcam into eye tracker (maybe not as precise as hardware ones, but still)! And well I think this could bring a bit of freshness into user interfaces.

What are your thoughts? Is that even viable idea, or rather something what will never get traction and I am extremely wrong?

There might be some meta-fear to go with the peer pressure argument, such as "if I don't overcome my fear and go on this rafting offsite with my coworkers, I am afraid I won't be accepted as part of the team".

I was invited to some rafting trip many years ago, which I didn't go at all. One of my friends went. It was a two-segment experience, he was in the boat for the first segment and decided to get out and walk the second segment. I think he described it as not unlike getting flushed down the toilet, so I thought I made a good choice. Also, nobody got hurt but everyone got sunburns.
Failure, Feedback, and Success
I hate failing.

Every sane person should hate it.

Failing a test, failing to win that basketball match, failing to make the sushi dinner look aesthetically pleasant.

With the self-improvement movement lately, I started hearing more about failure being a good thing?

How can it be a good thing when you feel like shit?

Are the self-help gurus lying?

Well, not exactly. Failure is not the problem. However, your mindset surrounding failure is.

The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
- Nelson Mandela

When you start navigating through the narratives of a failure and a success, you start noticing it’s not all black and white.

Failure and success are not on the opposites of the spectrum, but rather, they share a symbiotic relationship where one feeds the other.

You can look at a failure as a foundational step towards success. There is a high probability you won’t ever be successful without ever failing.

There’s even a correlation: The more failures equals greater chance of success.

Take, for instance, the learning curve on riding a bike. Initially, you might find yourself repeatedly tipping off balance and crashing. After several falls, particularly if they're all to the same side, the realisation dawns that something must change.

"Why do I keep falling to the right? Perhaps I'm not balancing correctly." With this insight, you adjust, attempting to lean a bit more to the left, only to find yourself falling over to this new side.

"Ah, maybe that was too much adjustment." It's a process of trial, error, and recalibration.

This cycle of falling, reassessing, and trying again is the essence of learning from failure.

Success isn't about the frequency of failure; it's about the response to and the lessons learned from each fall.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Albert Einstein

Creating an environment where failures, and learning from failure, is looked upon as a positive change is essential for success.

SpaceX, for instance, celebrated when their rocket soared kilometres high before exploding - a clear embrace of a ‘successful failure’ as progress.

So, the next time you’re contemplating stepping out of your comfort zone - be it a student role, a challenging task from your boss, or starting a new venture - embrace the likelihood of failure.

You are likely to fail. It’s okay. Let yourself fail. Embrace the failure as a learning experience. Learn from the failure and never make the same mistake again.

No, I would not approve, because ads come through channels that are unrelated to me looking for product information. The distinction is pull vs. push, and at the place and time of my choosing, and being unrelated to any other media.
