That doesn't mean that China controls the media, it means the US companies that do control media care more about money than anything else. Just like most US companies do. They don't bow down to China, they only worship higher profits. If some other country paid them more money to insert Winnie the Poo into every movie than the money they make from China by inserting maps with the Nine-Dash-Line or giving a Chinese actress a cameo they'd be doing that instead.
Thanks, I'll have to look into this more.
What about this current incident? In your opinion?
Configurable Text Classification for Devs
There is certainly a role that could exist in this intersection of business and engineering, however I feel strongly that pushing all or most engineers in this direction is a common mistake within the entire software industry.

Framing most of engineering from a business perspective creates a serious technical blindspot and it carries with it serious risks of unreliable software, recurring bugs, extremely inaccurate estimations, very slow development, etc. etc.

As someone who as deep dived into the theory of software, it's painful to see the same type of bugs happening over and over again, or the same features being built over and over with slight differences wasting developer hours. These "meta" problems are solved with better engineering, but in my experience the engineering level is never allowed to reach a level that can actually solve them because of the things listed in the article. There is an overestimation of business thinking value, and an underestimation of software theory and its applications.
Unclear why hearing that someone else is richer than you is supposed to be cool, regardless of if they're capitalist coded or cashier coded.
Instructor: Structured Outputs for LLMs
Not what is going on in this case, but even if real costs stayed the same - counting inflation - costs would go up every year.

That isn't what is going on here, rather PG&E is manipulating the rate payer, and the rate payer is also having to do massive 'catchups' for prior manipulations PG&E has done (like not keeping required records, skimping on maintenance to dangerous degrees, etc.).

And since somehow PG&E has convinced everyone there is no other solution than paying them more money...
New trend? This is YT's original sin: allowing uploaders to use any image as a thumbnail, instead of picking a frame from the video.
Are we talking about torts or crimes?

If we're talking about tort law, then yes, damages are measured in dollars. And those damages are absolutely subject to rules about how they are split when multiple people are liable.

If we're talking about crimes, then "percent of blame" is nonsensical. There is no percent liability for a crime, you either are guilty or you are not.

It works fine, I use it all the time for my hobby OS development.
> drivers are not particularly well equipped to be pushing that liability off themselves so there it stays

It's premature to conclude this. We don't have enough real-world cases off which to construct a framework.

> Insurance companies are better equipped for that sort of thing but they're only interested in the financial liability

Even this hasn't been cleanly severed in any competent jurisdiction.
I absolutely love this! As you have noted, both the ability and the courage to speak plainly have made it a lost art.
Communism is where government owns the businesses. Businesses being in charge of govt. is called 'corporatocracy'.
> I met Andreessen’s wife. Laura Arrillaga-Andreessen is the daughter of a sharp fellow who began scooping up commercial real estate in the bedraggled lands around Stanford University that became Silicon Valley, becoming its pre-eminent landowner, which is kind of how aristocracies start in the dim mists of time. I reflected, perhaps unfairly, that marrying off their daughters to young men of talent and fortune is often how such families institutionalize their power.

Only a "perhaps unfairly"?

Is it impossible that two people simply met, fell in love, and got married, or that parents wouldn't want to marry their kids to other people of like passions and values?
Developer's mindset, knowledge and tooling is also a build dependency for any open source code. You can not realistically get the same code without it.
Yes. The switchdev "sw1p[0-9]+" ports are special; the any data the software kernel injects to them is discarded and they never emit packets to the kernel. They exist only to allow you to use `ip bridge` and `ip route` on them. So if you accidentally configure software switching on these ports no data will flow -- it will be totally obvious. You might get "no packets" by accident but you will never get "software switching" by accident.

If you really want software switching you have to use the management port (there's only one or two of these) whose name is "eth0" or "eth1" or something like that. So avoiding "accidental software switching" is really easy -- if you're typing "eth" you're doing it wrong. You can even explicitly delete this interface if you don't need the CPU to be able to snoop/inject traffic to/from the switch ports.

despite being allies, big reason why Americans do not trust or share sensitive information with South Korea-whatever they share always ends up in North Korea and China

but perhaps the biggest enablers of these security lapses aren't just the shoddy cybersecurity management but the political environment

anytime you try to fix or address an issue, the opposition party will take contrarian stance without merit.

no political party in america will disagree with the events of 9/11 yet in south korea disagreeing/contrarian stance is the default because they have premature understanding of what democracy is (ex. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ROKS_Cheonan_sinking - imagine if a major American political party started refuting the events of 9/11 and defending Al Qaeda!)

so its no wonder that stuff like this will result in no arrests and waste valuable tax dollars.
A bit silly, no?
>but it is targeting militants.

This kinda talking points get muddy when said militants (more like suspected militants) were target specifically when they arrived home with their families.

Besides that, all the talking about Israel not targeting civilians, being interested in protecting civilians, and not deliberately holding back help all of these are Israel talking points; so conceding authority is crazy, not because we are talking about any specific country, but because we are taking at face value statements of an interested party. If you also add that most important humanitarian organizations are ringing alarms, they are not allowing investigations from independent parties, and the domestic discourse is definitely not dovish.

You might be right, there might not be any ill intent from Israel, yet you cannot argue that the conclusion that a genocide is happening is baseless.
And they shouldn't. China has been doing that for years and it has been very bad for the western world. This is basic game theory. How about China stop being an adversary and allow US companies to settle in their country without needing a chinese owner and having its IPs stolen?
I was excited about the EM drive as well. Not that I really expected it to work, but if it did crazy things would happen.

Just put it in a bucket of, “Almost certainly not real, but how cool would it be if it did?”
Very interesting to see these things observed in numbers. Impressive 80ies peak among us gen X!

My music taste brain was initially formatted by that 1990ies idea of MTV mainstream vs independent (which paradoxically, also defined itself through existing on MTV, just in different niches), and from there it had been a slippery slope towards ever nichyer niche. Stuff where the big hits now have accumulated total Spotify plays in four-digit range, if they do exist there. When eventually I realized that winning at niche one-upmanship is a lonely celebration, what followed was mostly silence.
> why haven't we seen mass death from repeated 35℃ breaches?

Because we haven't seen very many 35℃ wet bulb temperature breaches yet. The nominal air temperature is much higher than that all the time around the world, but it's only when there is very high humidity at that temp that humans start to overheat.

IIRC there have only been a few instances so far where the web bulb temp limit has been breached, e.g. some instances around the Persian Gulf, and maybe also in Mexico near the Gulf of California (not sure about the latter if it's even been breached yet, but I know it's at risk).

Edit: Wikipedia page has a list, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet-bulb_temperature#Highest_r.... There have only been 10 recorded instances where wet bulb temp exceeded 35C.
Look into making your app a Progressive Web Application (PWA). PWAs run in/on both desktop and mobile Chrome based browsers which dominate the web. And depending on use case (e.g. single-user apps or games) PWAs can be setup to run completely offline further emulating "native" mobile apps.

Just 2 of several PWA benefits:
- You can publish and host PWAs almost anywhere. No playstore required. But the option to go the playstore route remains open to you as playstores do accept PWAs.
- Done right a single code base, because it runs in the browser, just works on desktops and mobiles, while you still have the ability to modify app behavior based on the platform you can detect at run time.

The decision between structural and nominal typing has nothing to do with whether you retain type information at runtime.

TS could have just as easily chosen nominal typing + a simple way to do typedefs and had everything else work like it does now. But structural typing gives you a lot of other useful features.
Interesting, but slightly different scenario. As said, I've mostly transitioned away from using cars completely. I keep a couple at home.

One to obsess over and restore. One if I absolutely need one.

No way any EV is catching up with that.

And as someone else said, the alternatives are compelling enough now for me not to have to choose Tesla should the time come. To me, the ioniq 5 looks better than any car Tesla ever produced. In the right colour combo, it's gorgeous. Anyway, that's moot at the moment ...
Yea, the whole "I want to watch the concert through my phone" thing I don't get at all. If you just want to watch it on your phone, why not just stay home and watch a professionally-produced concert video? Are they actually recording it for later (and are actually going to watch their low-quality recording later), or do they simply need to frame everything they experience inside a phone bezel?
Benjojo wasn't trying to make something for home or office (or even lab) use, he runs DC installations. The point of the article was to have an as-open-as-possible switch. Mikrotik doesn't qualify for that.
I think it depends on how the car ran over the children (or anyone in that case). If it was an unavoidable freak accident, then you can't really blame the car.

But, if the car literally didn't see a person in front of it (where reasonably a human would 99.9999% of the time) because it's cameras malfunctioned or the LLM read it as something else, then those cars should not be on the road.

Burn: Deep Learning Framework built using Rust
OP, I don't suggest you do this until you know what you're doing -- if ever.

Just start with the built-in zsh. Nearly everything you learn with zsh will work the same over on bash and Linux.

Also, I suggest resisting the urge of listening to those telling you to install oh-my-zsh. IMHO, it's a bloated plugins manager (no disrespect to robby <3) and introduces too much magic for beginners. Start basic.
I don’t have the hardware to run good models, but if you can run a local one then you can write a small script to set a system prompt with ollama via the command line. Haven’t tried it, but sounds like what you want.
Proud to have Stainless as a partner at OpenAI. All our SDKs are generated by them. Alex, Robert, Philip and team are extremely thoughtful about SDK design and push us to improve our API + other products while they're at it. Stainless is bringing a new standard of SDKs to our industry and this is a great thing for all developers.
Yes, the error messages of modern SQL databases suck. On that note, SQL itself sucks (the two problems might be related). But that's no excuse to not do better. Besides, BeeBase seems more user-focused than MariaDB, presenting itself as a nice GUI tool. "Real developers" might not need good error messages, but they also don't need a GUI and would sooner use some unholy bash-sed-awk-Perl mixture.
When the need for their talents is gone, you just cut them loose. (Likewise if the company hits a budget crunch as well.)
> I think the most common reason might be toxic or ineffective management, fighting their own problems, real or imagined. Newcomers should read the room whether that's the case as fast as possible since in that case offering "solutions" could indeed be counterproductive or outright dangerous to one's career.

This. I am currently facing such a problem having very recently joined a new company. They recently had a very expensive incident and would like to not repeat it. I was handed an analysis task for the system that caused the incident with the expectation for me to make recommendations to improve the reliability. And, so far, my recommendation would be to refactor/rewrite large chunks of it (reduce cyclomatic complexity, greater test coverage and from the perspective of use cases, strict exception handling, fully documented state chart with all transitions validated, etc). When I gave a status update on my analysis that isn't finished yet, my manager was concerned that I would recommend exactly what I am going to recommend.

So now I am kinda stuck. Do I openly say exactly what they don't want to hear even if I was tasked to do exactly that? Luckily, I don't really give a shit about "career" nonsense, I am too old for that. But at the same time, I do want to build credibility and social capital in this org. My experience in building highly scalable, resilient systems says that the current implementation is sub par, and it shows with amount of break-fix work the team is constantly doing. I don't really want to be Cassandra and say "If you don't do this, the risk of another catastrophic error is really high". And I don't have enough data or time in the org to know what kind of persuasive arguments tend to find sympathetic ears.

So I have to gamble a bit, follow my principles, and honestly explain why their system is shit, in palatable terms, and hope they don't give me the boot.

It is stressful and I hate it.
In 1911 41,000 people died of a heave wave in France.

Highest ambient temperature ever recorded was in Death Valley in 1913.

In 1540 Europe had an extreme drought and heatwave that lasted 11 months.

I can go on and on. The 2022 heatwave wasn’t any more unusual than any other heat wave throughout history.
Or if the world wars never happened
That's my understanding too. In fact, the hottest surface temperature recorded on Earth is much higher than the official temperature record because a surface gathers heat not only from air convection/conduction but direct radiation as well.

> Temperatures measured directly on the ground may exceed air temperatures by 30 to 50 °C (54 to 90 °F).[6] The highest natural ground surface temperature ever recorded may have been an alleged reading of 93.9 °C (201.0 °F) at Furnace Creek, California, United States, on 15 July 1972.[7] In 2011, a ground temperature of 84 °C (183.2 °F) was recorded in Port Sudan, Sudan.

Show HN: I made a Python app for generating scrambles for Rubik's Puzzles
As an avid Rubik's Puzzle Solver, I wanted a small application for my desktop that I could generate scrambles with. In my searches I didn't really find anything that wasn't either a browser-based project or currently dead, so I decided to make it for myself and am now sharing it with you all!

I think what makes my app stand out over the others I did come across is it's simplicity. It's an entirely one window GUI. There's no sub-windows, menus, or anything else.

Current features include the following:

- 2x2 and 3x3 scrambles

- Stopwatch/Timer

- 10 different color themes

- Ability to save your desired setup with one click and have it reopen to this setup every time

As a note: I'm not a developer by trade. This is just something I do for fun in my free time. If you have a suggestion or anything you'd like to see added or done differently, please let me know!

This is what you get when you ask a sophisticated ngram predictor to come up with factual information. LLMs do not have knowledge: they regurgitate token patterns to produce language that fits the token distribution of their training set.
I have tried it, and while it's a bit better, it's still nowhere near safe enough to use around other cars/pedestrians imo. Other people's thresholds and looking like a tool on the road may be different, but for me, it's a nogo.
The current crop of generative AIs seems well-poised to take over a significant amount of low-skill human labor.

It does not seem well-poised to yield novel advancements in unrelated-to-AI fields, yet. Possibly genetics. But things like solving global warming, there is not any sort of path towards that for anything we're currently creating.

It's not clear to me that spending 0.5% of electricity generation to put a solid chunk of the lower-middle-class out of work is worth it.
Why is there “no reason?” This has happened repeatedly throughout history. Climate has always changed. The only difference now is that “preventing” climate change is a huge industry.

All the switches in this series except the one in this review actually have two separate boards inside with a PCIe-over-cable connection between them. For example the SN2700 here (the sleeved cable in the third photo; you can't see the connector from the angle it's taken from):

https://ipng.ch/s/articles/2023/11/11/mellanox-sn2700.html

The cable has a SAS (SFF-8087) connector on each end. I bet you can replace it with an SFF-8087-to-Oculink cable:

I'm well aware of Bakersfield's problems. And yet, the area was able to handle implementing the initial steps of high speed rail, and the Bay and LA weren't (for whatever eminent domain / NIMBY reasons). So it's funny to me to see LA/Bay people give Bakersfield crap: "ugh why is the rail over there". Well, because you LA/Bay people couldn't.

Air conditioning? Most of the areas most at risk for high wet bulb temperatures already rely heavily on air conditioning to be habitable.

We'd be in serious trouble if we had a power failure triggered by a heat wave, which IIRC was a near miss in the central US heat wave last summer.
Well consider this: There is some set of words which describe quantum physics perfectly.

If what I am saying is true (that human language maps to transformations of space-time) then this theoretical computer should be able to represent quantum phenomena.

Im not familiar at all with APL or BQN but I think I understand what youre saying. I think the main point here isnt simply that you can represent programs visually, but that the visuals do exactly what you see. A "combine" instruction for example would literally be the visual of two objects with empty space transforming to the two objects being together.
US investigates China's access to RISC-V
One advantage of a simpler/more regular ISA is that it's easier to maintain the tools (compilers, bits of assembly in low-level libraries / OS kernels etc) which enable you to avoid writing your software in assembly.

> The air conditioning is set at 14-18 C during the hottest part of the day

I wonder what actual temperature that gives them. I'd expect that whatever temperature they set below 25C would have the AC go full power either way, and never reach that target until at night perhaps.

Sending Messages also have many benefits over RPC methods [1] that's especially important for evolvable APIs across process boundaries.

The DTOs are still typed so you still get AutoComplete that also include API Docs and Type hints in the generated DTOs since we full control how DTOs are generated and we're able to capture richer type information in the server C# DTOs (used as blueprints to generate DTOs in different languages).

All the information about how to call the API and what it returns is captured in the Request DTOs, and the only thing the Service Clients need is the BaseUrl for where the APIs are hosted. So you could create a higher level SDK client that just needs to inherit the Service Client and hard code its URL, e.g:

class MyClient : JsonServiceClient(BaseUrl) {}

Where they'll also be able to add any helper methods specific to their APIs (e.g. Custom Auth). For the trade-off of not being able to reuse that client to call different APIs and endpoints, but will still share the same base class so you could still create reusable functionality that can be shared across all Service Clients.
