But the arrow is on the knob, which means if you turn the knob in the direction of the arrow then the reference point is moving opposite to the arrow.

If the arrow were on the panel next to the knob, then you'd turn the knob in the direction of the arrow. It follows that if the arrow is on the knob, then you instead turn the panel in the direction of the arrow.

Well, low-level Nazis often said they didn't know the scope. The question is whether that is plausible given your position.
Of course because you have no option but to admit your bias and racism at this point. You'd rather not.
Yeah, it always was. The "kids these days, with their" part of the complaint has always been the same, it's only the next words that have changed through the ages.

Remembering my childhood peer group, I definitely don't remember many kids exhibiting this kind of passion for anything.
Only works if the dial is calibrated. This very much not the case in the old days of mechanical thermostats. They were reliable and repeatable but not calibrated.
I do feel like I had said too much on my sons situation, I initially only wanted to say that the term Hikikomori really resonated with me today.

It's not arbitrary.

These social networks are no longer "optional", and form a huge part of people's lives. Just because they are not running nuclear reactors or sewage plants doesn't absolve them of responsibilities.

> I think it is fair for a consumer to be able to opt out of site-to-site tracking (heck out-lawing that would be a better step) but this contradiction exists and it doesn't sit well with me because it doesn't actually look pro-consumer at al

How is "we don't want Facebook to continue pervasive and invasive tracking of everyone across the entire internet" not prosumer?

Here's what Facbook says about its tracking in the various help and settings pages: https://mastodon.nu/@dmitriid/112180885099177982

How about "For example, if you buy a pair of shoes at your local shopping centre, you might later see an ad for more shoes from that same company or a
similar company." Is this really prosumer? Or is this surveillance capitalism that even very few dystopias could imagine?

Yes, EU is about protectionism, but not the one you're thinking about: https://www.baldurbjarnason.com/2024/facing-reality-in-the-e...

> Vague laws stifle legitimate data-use functionality

Laws in general are vague because it's impossible to perfectly describe and encapsulate the entirety of human endeavours in any given field.

That said, there's very little that is vague about European laws curbing the unfettered unregulated unlimited-growth-at-all-costs US-brand of capitalism. For example, here's a look inside DMA: https://ia.net/topics/unraveling-the-digital-markets-act Note how different it is from the bullshit that US corporations spew about it and that gullible people buy into?
They marked this one as resolved. They keep providing updates on another active incident: https://www.githubstatus.com/incidents/5ly0psff2s5d
The toilets in our house have two large buttons that are the same size - even after repairing the mechanisms a few times (which is a bit like keyhole surgery as everything is built into the wall) I still have no idea if they do different things.
Well at home you get the coffee from somewhere, compare to that? I buy a bag of I think 250g beans for £7.95 (about $10 I suppose, conveniently) and without travel I probably get through at least four bags in a month.

That's much more coffee that Kagi costs than if I was getting it at Starbucks, but it still puts it in perspective I think. (And the coffee tastes much better.)
Here's the repo: https://github.com/SuperMayo/mayerowitz.io
My parents have a new IKEA fridge, and it also has buttons in degrees Celsius. But as I mentioned below, until quite recently, the knob mechanically influenced a bimetallic strip which shut off the power when it became too cold. You cannot expect precise temperature control from this setup, and any calibration would likely be lost after some months of wear & tear. So printing exact temperature measurements on the knob would've given a false sense of precision. I also suspect that at least in some jurisdictions, some governmental body would require exact and lasting calibration if exact temperatures were printed on the knob. At least where I come from, thermometers used for food must be calibrated and approved by a governmental authority.
You are wrong, it is clearly gold and white.

Or, as like I assume in this case, the temperature control is not precise instead of numbers use some iconography. Like 0, *, **, ***, ...

Funny how they don't mention the solution: to have AIs actively participate in the real world. I mean, it's hardly what people here want to see happen, but that will solve it.
How long have you been living in the house? This seems like it wouldn't be too difficult to figure out through casual experimentation.

That's a desirable effect. Your argument is the very reason the 5th amendment exists. Making it easier to find someone guilty is a BAD thing, not a good thing.
You're right, but it's not Kagi Search that is doing the robbing: it's all the ad-tech aggressors of the last decade plus.
Didn't Go already realize that it can't use direct syscalls on anything other than Linux? They made some mistakes in the past but by this point I think they learned their lesson.

On Linux, using direct syscalls is a good idea, since it's the stable userspace-kernel interface. There's really no need for libc on Linux, each language should just implement it's standard library on top of syscalls.
> The obvious solution is to just tell me what the temperature is.

The manufacturer doesn't know what temperature the numbers represent just that they definitely cover the range of interest. The dial is repeatable but not accurate.
It probably has gotten worse. But I'd chalk that up to companies greed to meet quarterly milestones and whatnot, not because the devs are distracted looking at TikTok.

> I've checked recent foreign transactions and it looks like both of popular travel cards make some money on exchange rates, but not as much as in France

Don't get me wrong, there are tons of options for cheap or downright free foreign exchange transactions (such as Revolut, N26, Fortuneo, BoursoBank just in France). It's Amex in particular that are borderline scamming their French customers on foreign transactions.
> I have power over Apple by simply not buying their crap

Do you? We both don't have iPhones (actually, I do have one at work because it's required for some of the things we do, but that's another problem) and Apple still exists, and still locks in my less technically aware relatives which becomes my problem.

Using an Android phone isn't a solution to all problems anyway, since many bank or identity apps require a locked, unrooted phone, which basically means they only run on unsecure phones that might report whatever to their actual owners in the US, China or South Korea.
Sorry, could you expand on this a bit further? Are you saying that for a MoE, you want to train the exact same model, and then just finetune the feed forward networks differently for each of them? And you're saying that separately training 8 different models would not be efficient - do we have evidence for that?
But you then have to open your wallet, and slide the card out. With the phone, if it's out, it's unlocked and ready to be tapped.
I've always assumed that pushing the smaller button means a smaller flush, but... with many of the ones I've used, pressing the small button also pushes down the big button, and I frankly have no idea what that indicates.

>The problem with that hypothesis is that in reality they just wouldn't do that. Once a fragmented market based on vendor lock-in is established, every manufacturer is afraid to break it because the first that breaks it has the most to lose.

Huh? That's literally what the smartphone market is like now, though it got there a different way. There's two OSes: iOS and Android. There's a bunch of phone makers who sell Android-based phones, and they all can run apps from the Google Play store (or other Android app stores, or side-loaded .apk files).

If you want to argue that the power tool market can't get there from its current situation, that's fine, but it's completely irrelevant to the discussion here, which is about smartphones and not power tools. You're the one who brought up power tool batteries as an analogy here, and like all analogies, it's imperfect but can be useful.

>Do consumers have an option for interoperability today? They don't.

They can buy an Android phone of some kind and use any app from the places I mentioned above.

>say, blades for electric razors: sure they are not interoperable, but they are a minor expense and have actual technical reasons for not having a standard

Apple makes the exact same argument for their App Store.

>plenty of things consumers buy don't have vendor lock-in

There are many places where vendors have tried, but got shot down. Auto parts is one big example.
There is a ongoing more or less "AI" automated alleged genocide.

There is no "we didn't realize the scope" excuse to be made. The engineers at the spyware vendors know their employers hand over data.

Quantization of LLMs with Llama.cpp
This was one of the core points of a UX class in university: Nothing makes sense and intuitive usability is a lie.

Well maybe not that strictly, but pretty much. For example, steering wheels on cars and boats work the opposite way. On a guitar neck, higher notes are closer to the guitar body and closer to the floor, so actually lower, while lower notes are higher up - because of pitch.

And similar here. Is the number a representative of the temperature? Then you turn it down. Or is the number indicative of "more cooling"? Then you turn it up. One of the freezers I owned was one way, the other wasn't. My fridge has icons instead of numbers due to this.

All in all, you need good indicators and/or physical lock-outs for dangerous things like tubes for different kinds of gas.

CC Rewards programs are amusing to me (because of time effort spent on them). At any rate, I haven't seen those in Europe/EU for ages, probably because they slashed intercharge fees so they make much sense (the main reason was making card payment accepted everywhere without dumb sticker: "card payments only for shopping above x [currency]"

Thanks for starting the discussion.

Okay, I'm literally terrified about not being in the top 1% or top 10% of everything I do. Scared.

I have built my life around me with people that perform at those levels, so everyone from my wife to my best friends may disappear if I'm not performing at those levels. Not to mention, look at nature: The best do what they can and the weak suffer. It is sad, but its reality.

So I work always, every success opens up 2 new problems to deal with.

That's correct, but neither 'organic' nor 'fairtrade' means that it would be a different (better) variety. Organic = not sprayed with chemicals for pest control for example; fairtrade = farm hands not paid exploitative rates (paid more).

(Not that I'm preaching you should care about either more, I'm a fairly price-driven shopper.)
Totally sibling comment confirms it already exists! I hope that the 'shader' name sticks too! I find the idea of a shader has a very appropriate shape for tiny-program-embedded-in-specific-context so it seems perfect from a hacker POV!

I have a VFX(Houdini now, RSL shaders etc earlier) and openCL-dabbling and demoscene-lurking background, based on which I think I prefer 'shader' to 'kernel', that's what OpenCL calls them.. but that conflicts with the name of like, 'the OS kernel' at least somewhat..
I like this conspiracy theory as much as the next person but in fact they moved only around 10-15km south, to be in Munich proper.

It obviously says the exact opposite of that unless you conflate multiple separate hearsay accounts. Injecting YOUR racism doesn't add meaning to the article, instead it only serves to discredit it.

Initially, perhaps by different teams, three separate incidents were created. Since then, two have been resolved, and one continues to be updated.
Whats the celcius part :D?
> People do not change. In my opinion, people are driven by circumstance.

You contradicted yourself here.
Can't confirm. LLMs tend to be oddly good at FFmpeg and give you a good starting point you can work with.
“ In a reflective and deeply personal essay, the author navigates the evolving landscape of reading, from a childhood adorned with gold stars for fairy tale conquests to an adulthood grappling with the digital age's quantification of literary consumption. Amidst New York's vibrant book scene, a place of lit gossip and subway commutes, the author encounters the double-edged sword of being part of a community that both enriches and, at times, imposes unwelcome pressures. With a critique as much of Goodreads' role in transforming reading into a competitive sport as of the social media-induced urge to keep up, the piece eloquently argues for a return to reading as an unquantifiable, personal journey, a haven from the public eye and a refuge in the joy of books for their own sake.”

But like, additions and anxiety treatment are not treated by enabling. When kids get to mental health hospital, they can not play games whole day. Instead, a system of rewards and punishments is created and they are forced to increasingly participate in life activities.

I do not want to criticize OP, because the mental health issues are hard and help is oftentimes next to impossible to get. For all "contact doctor", half of the time you get no help. Even hospitalization can be super hard to get unless the kid clearly suicidal.

But, the idea that taking away PlayStation or severly limiting it, that forcing the kid to push the boundaries is somehow cruel is just wrong.

pretty sure software is used to enable your storing data on that portable drive.

European designs that are icon-heavy are fine until you hit one of these unambiguously ambiguous situations. To whit: on a freezer dial with numbers, is a higher number a higher temperature or is a higher number more freezing ?

(FWIW the Finnish language just adds to the confusion because people talk about a lower [sub-freezing] temperature like it's more.)

But the consensus in comments here seems to be that the higher numbers mean colder.

This trying on HN to solve The Mystery of the Freezer Dial is like the most ridiculous gameshow lifeline ever.

Presumably they intended to entertain. There are absolutely companies running much more complex services with more users than Github but better uptime, so it's absolutely fair to call Github out on their failures. Github has at least an order of magnitude fewer users than something like Google or Facebook.

If your attitude is reflective of the attitude of anyone at Github, calling people entitled who dare complain about the site's downtime rather than taking responsibility and working to better it, it's no surprise that Github has so much downtime.
Do you have examples of things bought with credit cards that are cheaper in the US compared to, say, the EU? Even having in mind that most European countries have a ~20% VAT on many products, while US sales taxes are usually lower (less than ~15% IIRC), in my personal experience the US is more expensive for most everyday consumer goods even than France.
It also has further reaching consequences.

It creates foundation for reinforcement learning without human feedback - a missing piece of puzzle.

Simplifying: propose plausible theorem, try to find provable solution, reinforce reasoning/solution path, move proved statement into axioms, repeat.

(super)intelligence has many dimentions. One of less explored ones is exploiting concurrency in thought chains. It's something very un-natural to us, but there is a lot of gain if you're able to branch and collect feedback from dead ends and progress from different directions being taken at the same time.
Tactile * * ** would be ideal in this case (red to blue might be hard for people with colour blindness).
Since last few months, GitHub has become very unreliable. For example, last month, they reported six official incidents in just one week. I've also noticed many shorter, non-official incidents (i.e. the ones where there is no active incident on their status page, but many API calls return a 500 error). I learned about this the hard way (we offer affordable GitHub Runners at Ubicloud, which gives us the opportunity to observe all these failures firsthand)

Sounds like a good way to send legal bills into the stratosphere.

I get to choose the best and most expensive lawyers and tell them to bill however many hours they like, because that asshole I'm suing is going to have to pay for it?

Or I want to keep costs down, but the other guy has hired a team of three $500-an-hour lawyers to bury me in paperwork? And the only way I can avoid losing and having to pay is to respond in kind?
