I generally like most of his stuff, but definitely agree.

The last one I watched was about rain repellents like rainx. I'd expect to test longevity over time, under sunlight, maybe simulating rainy days.

Instead the tests had various harsh chemicals applied in succession, and a sponge friction test for some reason.
Musk does not have control over “allowing the Ukrainians to attack Crimea” but is also under no obligation to provide services from his civilian company to foreign militaries.

I would be personally pissed as a rural broadband user if machinations about a conflict in Eastern Europe was the reason I was getting subpar telecom service in Tennessee.
Sweden doesn't even work the way he describes any longer. The changes he claims he wants are already in place.
Running android is actually a good decision. We should celebrate it rather than scold Rabbit's founders. Creating OS is hard. Selling smart and intriguing devices for $200 is also hard. They had to pick one.
Well, in my case, I'm always in Chrome anyway, so having it as a browser popup is super convenient for being able to start/pause the timer in 2 clicks.

If it was an app, I'd probably never use it because it would take too much time to unlock my phone, find the app, wait for the app to launch, go to the timer, and then hit pause. It's a lot of friction for something I'll typically do 3-4 times a day, starting and stopping the timer to work on other things or just to take a break.
I was seriously considering getting a Tesla despite my visceral hatred of what Musk has done to Twitter, primarily because the price incentives are really amazing compared to other alternatives, but most of all the charging network.

So this is beyond bonkers for me - literally about to hand cash over while holding my nose, but then they kill one of the major reasons I was willing to overlook Musks behavior?

Seriously, WTF is this guy on, and more importantly, how much? Nobody sober and sane would do this.
Business processes don't need deep learning in the first place. It is just there because hype.
No, they also don't care. Talk to most people. They literally don't care and will say things like "Well let them have the data, what will they do with it?" Especially when you save a few bucks with something like a "loyalty card."
Wild that he was unbanned considering the typical experience with mods who are in the wrong on reddit is that the next mod who gets your PM that typically goes something like, "Hi, this conversation was misread/construed by the mod that banned me. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I was $doingGoodThingNotAgainstRules if you could re-instate me. Thank you," is usually met with a double-down where mod2 just defends mod1 and suspends you for a month or reports you to admins for a perma-ban.

As a former ircop who went out of my way to be helpful to ... the absolute sludge of EFnet, and then you have great mods like dang, and other forum mods it's very frustrating that reddit mods nearly always assume the absolute worst about someones intentions and are nearly always incredibly rude.

I guarantee that /r/java gets nowhere near the amount of reports/spam/etc that we got on EFnet in the 90-2000s. But we also weren't anonymous mods and had reputations to maintain. A lot of IRCops were Ops because we peered our servers to EFnet and we didn't want to be desynced.

Obviously this guy was able to get a ton of attention brought to this so pretty clear how he scooted back in, glad they loosened up here.
I was thoroughly entertained by this read, thanks for the rec
Sorry for my ignorance, but what’s a scenario that you run a SUID/GUID binary from a network or a container?

If you access and run, it’s SSH or similar, so it works on the system scope. If it’s a container built correctly, it has its own users and isolation already, so it shouldn’t be able to fire any binary on your “base” system, and any effect is already in the container scope.

I have never had the need to SUID/GUID a non executable, and didn’t need to trigger something on the system inside a container in the last ~20 years.
Google I/O is 2 weeks away. WWDC is 6 weeks.

And we know both companies have plans for enhanced assistants this year.

> technically-savvy small businesses were buying Apples and PC's

The outfit I worked for at the time sold directly into this area. We had a product line of simple I/O modules for physical automation (measuring temperatures, controlling motors, etc...) and all our programming instructions and examples were given in BASIC because it was on all computers and it was the one language that we knew everyone would be familiar with.
My brain refuses to learn bash conditional syntax. Personally, when I’m about to write a conditional in bash I take it as a cue to switch to another language.
On devices that have people working to support the hardware, like Steam Deck, linux works fine. On my laptop Windows gives me working sound, video without tearing, scrolling websites without tearing, not crashing during install.
These extortionists are all over every dating site, not just Ashley Madison, to the point where someone asking about Instagram early on in the conversation is a red flag more often than not.

Having to rely on one company to train their API calls makes it less flexible and less reliable except maybe for the largest apps. Even if they did it better than chatGPT (and I don’t think they can), that would be the thinnest of moats.
His entire genre of writing revolved around chance and coincidence and how big of a hand it played in one's life.

"going private is likely saving 90% over". How's that working out for your private US healthcare system? Some of the most expensive private care in the world. The toilet you mention is in one of the richest most capitilistic states in the world, they have super expensive public toilets alongside homelessness. In other countries they have cheap public toilets. I'm not sure public/private is the deciding factor. I think it's San Francisco.
Project Farm is different because he focuses on reviews, and pays for all products himself to prevent bias. That's very different from makeup gurus, investment channels, vlog celebrities, etc.

> People watch influencers because they want to hear from a person who tried the product.

Having seen hundreds (thousands?) of these kinds of videos on TikTok and Insta, as a viewer you almost never have any idea who the people are, or whether they actually use or like the product they're pushing.

I think you're right that AI influencer tech will have far less impact on mainstream (Martha Stewart) and niche (MKBHD and Linus Sebastian) celebs, but I do think their marketing teams will increasingly use AI to scale celeb/micro-celeb efforts as well.

> Once there are AI swarms, there'll be a backlash.

Maybe! But this hasn't happened in response to AI text bots. Why would it be different for AI video bots?
It's not that interesting of a case really. Basically

>Zhao reportedly said earlier Tuesday in court. “Here I failed to implement an adequate anti-money laundering program... I realize now the seriousness of that mistake.”

and that's about it.
Ah, this answers a question I had: How is a covenant enforced since it's not a law? Who would have standing for a civil suit if a 200 year old covenant was simply ignored?

So what you're saying is that others in the vicinity would be able sue to make sure the covenant was honored? I have to assume this has been tested in court many times before and upheld.
Oh mine sure isn't. Mine is username@hostname, which doesn't even get you close to my email.

Really tempted to write a bot to spam that form... but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and wait to see if they come back in a week or so.

I just don't get why I can't read the FAQ even though they're sold out. Kinda missing their moment here by having nothing to do other than give an email and quit.

Snake oil on so many levels.

Not the least of which is the fact that there don't appear to be any surviving recordings of Turing's actual voice.
And then what happens when it's those migrants' turn to retire?

Calling on immigration to "shore up" anything is a lazy solution that does not actually solve any issues because it's just kicking the can down the road, and also creates many more issues. In this case, 24M over 30 years in a country of 47M means the destruction of Spain as a nation.

Ultimately it is for technology (automation, AI,...) to help us massively boost productivity so that we can overcome the end of population growth.

I'm a software engineer with 2 years of experience working in ML and front-end development. I'm looking for a front-end or full-stack role, potentially in a position where I can also leverage my experience in DS/ML.

In my current job, I'm working on a recommender system for matching cardholders with personalized merchant reward campaigns. I've also worked on transaction forecasting, i.e. predicting consumer spend at merchants based on factors such as their historical transactions, seasonal trends, and geolocation. I've also built internal web dashboards to aggregate and display performance metrics from our models.

I also really enjoy working on front-end personal projects. I built Karektar, a web app for designing exportable custom bitmap fonts, which was actually featured on Hacker News (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37629119). I'm also currently working on a faithful recreation of PC Paintbrush -- the Windows 3.0 version of Paint -- on the web (https://github.com/nishanthjayram/paintbrush).
What do you mean? Public keys don't usually include an email address. They have an id that's usually in the form "user@host" but that's unlikely to be a valid email address. Maybe some systems use an email address there, but none of those I know.
Sometimes I wonder if Sci-fi has done more harm than good. It provides conclusions that people so badly want to prove true that they will look for any evidence, however meager, to bolster their arguments. Maybe there was life on Mars, but the main motivation to believe that right now is that many people have read about it in fantasy books. Much more devastatingly, Sci-fi has driven what technology people develop, and often it has led to technology that has made the world worse.

Meanwhile, those stories about martians are all metaphors. But people can't distinguish the symbol from the symbolized.

This is a major issue on today's internet. This is one of the most pertinent topics we could discuss.

I think there are several technical means of getting around this. The BlueSky protocol allows for end-users to opt-in to their own moderation preferences.

The Reddit methodology sucks, and at its scale I believe it is causing societal harm.

Could mastedon federate the link preview as well as the link?

Some OP advice to "get a damn CDN" seems to be a responce rather than a correction of the issue.

Even poorly designed websites shouldn't face DDoS scale access by a social network sharing a link. The social network should mitigate it's massive parallelization.
I think the reasoning is that ultrawide / larger monitors are becoming more common and it's easier / faster to access the taskbar from the center than moving the mouse to the far edge. And if it's not easier, they have an option to move it back to the left. This is one of the least egregious changes, really.
> Many experts have said that money would be saved by housing people instead of letting people unhealthily sleep outside and then spending money on emergency medical care.

To be fair, most of those experts are consultants, non-profit leaders, government employees, or talking heads who have a financial and reputation stake in a very particular type of solution, so I'd take that with a gigantic grain of salt.

These same types of experts have been trying to solve housing issues since at least the 1950's with more and more money being spent and little to show for it. If anything, the problems seem to be getting worse.
Have to remember that magazines and many of the newspapers are dead too. Those had quite substantial costs in production and logistics that adds had to subsidise...
It looks like they are a car company in the rise, taking on huge incumbents with a 100 year lead, are in spitting distance of becoming one of those multigenerational institutions and decided to blow their brains out on stage.

They aren’t at the point of disrupting themselves, this is like if Google terminated search in 2004. It’s idiotic, period.
I think people may not know how many things are handled by covenants such as this.

Sure, it's a position that anything like this should be a law on the books, but it's likely a not-very-popular position.
It is entirely fair to do so. And I'm not a huge fan of a lot of things Elon has written on Twitter. I don't really care about him buying it too much, but that's at least partially because I don't use it and never did.

Anyway, what really gets me is people denying that Elon has some real chops when it comes to engineering and business management.

A lot of people even take it one step further and pretend like Tesla isn't a capable EV producer, because Elon once wrote something on twitter that upset them.

The problem there isn't that they're upset with Elon, that's totally fine, he frequently earns that. But being unable to recognize that he had also done some good work that is completely unrelated to those silly remarks on twitter, that is the problem.

This phenomenon should not be confused with criticizing actual flaws in any work Elon has done, which is of course great, but that's very often not what's happening in "discussions" about his companies.
> why are you so incredulous that android might have some annoying privacy restrictions that a custom AOSP can sidestep?

I don't doubt that such restrictions exist. But I'm also curious as to what, specifically, they would be? Apps can access all sensors, cameras, microphone, network. So what's left?

> Do my users really need a different error message for "invalid sql" vs "sql connection timeout?"

Yes! A connection timeout means it might work if they try again later. Invalid SQL means it's not going to fix itself.

But in any case, the error messages are probably the minor part. The bigger issue is about properly handling errors and not just crashing the whole program / endpoint handler when something goes wrong.

> I would say there's not a proper error message to derive from explicitly handling sql errors. Certainly not a different message per error. I would rather capture all of it and say something like "Something went wrong while accessing the database. Contact an admin." Then log the stack trace for devs

Ugh these are the worst errors. Think about the best possible action that the user could take for different failure modes.

"Contact an admin" is pretty much always bottom of the list because it rarely works. More likely options are "try again later", "try different inputs", "clear caches and cookies", "Google a more specific error".

Giving up on making an error message because you only have a stack trace and don't want to show it means users can't pick between those actions.

If you have written a "something went wrong" error I literally hate you.
I wonder why anyone would bother with it after all the lives that reportedly blew up in the aftermath of the big leak

Suggestion: don't lose search strings. Example: in the search box type "Panda" -- a modal window pops up with 6 matches. Which one do I want? I click one. It fills the window. Nope, that is not the one. So I click the Back button-- and the search box is empty. I have to type "Panda" again. That is annoying.

Probably you should just repaint the main window, with the search string intact but showing only the matching selection of titles. Then one could alt-click to open a title in a separate window or tab, and not lose the search.
Ah, so realistically it's only likely to be a good UX when combined with a paid download service. I think I know which one you're referring to (at least, I only know of one such service, which I learned about from Reddit).

I have an Amazon Fire Stick, which works flawlessly with Plex across my local network, so hopefully Stremio works as well on it too.

How GPU-friendly is this class of models?
I've been following this project for a little while and it's very exciting to me. It's cool to see some movement on it since FreeCAD hasn't seen a lot of development and the rest of the OSS parametric CAD field is rather inactive.
"personal experience" is a polite way of saying "comfortable falsehood."
I bet that if they did some real research they would find perfectly normal economic forces are the real reason, not some guff about “individuality”. The two relevant costs for employees are the commute and the home office. Americans, on average, have larger homes and longer commutes. Trading a big cost for a small one is a great way to improve your overall wealth. Considering how boring and tiring commuting can be, overall well–being is surely up as well.
