Right -- and there can be ordinary, boring, individual scrutiny of what those pieces do, and data/code fixes for them.

I mean, it's no small amount of irony that the systems lawyers use are close to the kinds of "expert systems" that dominated AI development after the first AI winter.
The logistics of this is kind of interesting to me. Even if each of the victims reported them to the police, the value of the items from each theft wouldn't add up to much in the grand scheme of things. Construction equipment might raise more of an eyebrow, but the hand tools would even be noticed. Unless...someone was collecting all of those reports and analyzing them bigData style, o wait, we're talking about the police here.

Of course it was a civilian victim tired of the cops being unable to do anything. I say unable vs unwilling even though I'd also suggest unwilling, but I digress. It's the kind of theft ring that would just not motivate anyone to look at anything. I wouldn't be surprised to see that this has been going on for a really long time. It's kind of genius

To clarify, I'm not dogmatic about Transportation methods, at least for work commuting. I would love if cheap mass transit took some load off of local roads and the highway system so that they could be more effectively used for tasks besides commutes.

I mostly wanted to highlight that there's a trade off of preferences at play. Using your terms, Urban living is also a misery for many people. If you want to talk about Misery, listen to some Millennials and Zoomers that feel priced out of ever owning a home or starting a family.

It seems like most of these induced demand arguments I see start from the conclusion they want (dense Urban living) and reverse engineers a justification.

As you point out, High speed rail also induces Transportation demand.

It's not that increasing highway bandwidth doesn't work (it does). This doesn't preclude the idea that alternatives solutions or a hybrid can't be more efficient.
Sunglasses are not just a fashion item they also protect your eye lens from gradual damage from UV. It may be a good compromise in the end.
I have experience with having a webpage with a global audience, served from random US locations (east/west/texas, but no targetting) and pretty unbloated, to something served everywhere with geodns and twice the page weight... Load times were about the same before and after. If we could have kept the low bloat, I expect we would have seen a noticable improvement in load times (but it wasn't important enough to fight over)
The idea that we and we alone discovered being smart, or maybe, at best, the people in the 19th and 20th centuries were on to something although they are still nowhere near as smart as us, and everyone else in history were nasty drooling superstitious cretins in every way is ingrained surprisingly deeply into our culture, in multiple places, for multiple distinct reasons.
Likewise. The idea gives me flashbacks to a picture of a teratoma I once saw.

> So what do others in this tech-focused, often sedentary community do to stay fit?

In my 20s nothing. Then I joined a soccer team, got in shape by the end of the season, and lost it by the start of the next. So I took up running and other exercises with soccer (and the social aspect of playing with friends) as my primary motivator.

These days:

Afternoon/evening: Rowing and cycling are my main cardio activities, I have access to a pool but have had shoulder issues so haven't done much swimming in years. Running most of the year with the spring to fall weather here (CO), usually 3x5km a week more or less. Once a week right now because I'm training for a century ride so that's taking more time (cardio is almost there, legs are not).

Morning: Formerly, TRX suspension trainer and a yoga mat for bodyweight exercises. Now, weights with an adjustable dumbbell set going to 75lbs trying to push past some limits I was hitting with the bodyweight stuff. In the future (by end of summer) I want to find a routine that combines the two more effectively than I'm doing now but the dumbbells are helping me with some specific weak areas so that's the focus.

> But I rarely decide to exercise.

I don't exercise for its own sake, it's an enabler. And this is key to maintaining the routine for me. When I drop it for more than a couple months, I notice a decline in my ability to do things I want to do or even just get around in my daily life. My back gets worse, stairs get harder, and long hikes (in CO, at high elevation and with many elevation changes) become very difficult. I exercise so I can just go out and do whatever I want whenever I want without having to spend time thinking, "Can I do this?" I was in London and climbed to the top of St. Paul's and barely broke a sweat and never lost my breath. I don't want to be miserable when I do something challenging, or have to say no to something interesting because I can't (out of consequence of my own choices, versus when my back goes out on me and I'm just laid up).

Nokia 9000i, so you had to work on CSD (which is usually billed per-minute, like dial-up), not even GPRS. How much did that cost you? :P

BTW, an interesting thing is that some/most carriers allow you to use CSD/HSCSD over 3G these days, and you can establish data CSD connection between two phone numbers, yielding essentially a dedicated L2 pipe which isn't routed over internet. Can have much lower latency and jitter if that's what you need. Some specialized telemetry is still using that, however as 3G is slowly getting phased out, it will probably have to change.

Just how many pwns involve this keyword? Between Okta itself being pwned and it allowing stupid shit like ignoring expiry, I am strongly inclined to believe that rolling your own login system might be the strongest security posture these days.

I don't think so. I think more people are going to see this as a politically motivated kangaroo show trial than not. It takes some votes away, but it gives him others, at best I think it chsnges the calculus by roughly 0.
It shows an amazing lack of understanding for what an LLM is, even from the people selling and implementing them. You're exactly right in that they are terrible if correctness matters, but that should be obvious. If they where 100% correct, the size of the models would be much larger, as they'd need to retain all the original training data.

You can use the LLMs for language understand and interpreting questions, but the would need access to databases containing authoritative answers and not answer anything for which they don't have an answer.

I don't get why parts of the Linux community are so resistant to embrace AppImages and provide first class integration for them. Decent desktop integration isn't that hard.

As a user I want to download the thing and run it. AppImages provide that.

As an app developer I want to create one single package that works everywhere that users can just download. AppImages provide that.

Snap and Flatpacks are solving problems that don't need solving for most people. Shitty sandboxing that doesn't even work and makes my app slower? I don't want it.

Most software is best installed by the native package manager. For the few exception AppImages are perfects.
> meaning that for a given patient with a given cancer, you can run an algorithm and synthesise molecules that will work?

The paradigm is called rational drug design (+ personalised medicine) and its scope is quite limited at the current level of technology. To achieve what you describe, we need to solve all of the following:

- a way to recognise the molecular mechanism of a particular cancer and identify potential drug targets

- a way to characterise the targets - in the previous step you identified a protein, now you need to know its shape (X-ray crystallography (potentially years), AlphaFold). We need to know how the target should be modified to disrupt the disease.

- a way to design a molecule that binds the target specifically and in the desired way

- a way to synthesise the molecule quickly & efficiently

- a way to predict the molecule's interactions at all stages of metabolism, taking into account the patient's individual phenotype (different people have significant variations in drug-digesting enzymes)

Significant (decades at the current rate) progress in all of these areas is needed before this sort personalised medicine has a chance of becoming feasible.
I was in the audience in Washington D.C. and heard Luis introduce the ColdBox framework eighteen years ago. Had no idea of the scope of his ambitions at the time.

> On your smartphone? I'm not talking about looking at a menu from home, I'm talking about ordering at the table.

Yes, and so am I. If I'm feeling like chicken, it'd be easy to Ctrl+F (or "Find in page" if you want to be specific about the phone function) to look for chicken.

> I don't think finding what you want on such a short menu is particularly problematic.

It generally isn't that bad, but it was a quick off the dome example that comes up particularly in physical documents vs. electronic documents. Some more specific restaurant examples might be to filter out specific allergens or preferences out of dishes: dairy free, gluten free, vegetarian, vegan, etc. Make a smaller menu for people that can't or won't have particular things, without having to print those menus.

> Regardless, my experience with online-only menus and/or ordering when I'm sitting at the table has been nothing but horrible.

The worst one I had was a restaurant that was a bit outside of town that had poor cell reception. I've never personally had many issues with using my phone except poor signal.
> I try a bunch of different OCR programs, but can't find any that can transcribe the document with 100% accuracy. They often confuse certain letters or numbers (like 0 and C, 9 and 4, 0 and D). Sometimes they omit characters, sometimes they introduce new ones. I try different font sizes and different fonts, but it doesn't matter.

I feel like this could be trivially solved by plugging an LLM to the OCR output with the sole task to correct spelling errors like that. That's pretty much one of the tasks LLMs should excell the most at.
I have a bunch of Sonos speakers and hooked them all up to a Mac running Airfoil (https://rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/mac/).

It isn't perfect and audio occasionally de-syncs or a speaker drops out. On a dedicated wireless channel playing a local source I imagine it would be pretty solid.

Not really an option if you don't have a Mac to run Airfoil, though if you do you can use the Satellite (https://rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/satellite/) program to sync Mac your other non-Apple devices to the host.

Because DDR4 is electrically different and memory controllers are all on-die.

Intel could get away with doing that pre-Nehalem because the memory was connected via the northbridge and not directly (which is what AMD was doing at the time; their CPUs outperformed Intel's partially due to that), so the CPU could be memory-agnostic.

AMD would later need to switch to a new socket to run DDR3 RAM, but that socket was physically compatible with AM2 (AM3 CPUs would have both DDR2 and DDR3 memory controllers and switch depending on which memory they were paired with; AM3+ CPUs would do away with that though).

There were some benefits to doing that; the last time Intel realized them was in 2001 when RD-RAM turned out to be a dead-end. Socket 423 processors would ultimately prove compatible with RDRAM, SDRAM, and DDR SDRAM.
Fun fact, GTA Vice City is now further away (22 years) from its 2002 launch date than it was from its story setting of 1986 (16 years).

If that game were to be launched today and feature a setting in the same time delta, it would be set in 2008 when movies like The Dark Knight or the first Iron Man launched.

How time flies.
Likely not. The most egregious offenders around me are Mexican restaurants. They often have 4 or 5 double sided page menus.
Yes, that's the best way which is often used. A "leaky cable" aka "leaky feeder", to be particular.
Can you go into some examples?
I am also surprised they got a warrant based on AirTag data, especially with stories like this:

https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/08/us/denver-police-raid-wrong-h...

I suspect there has to be more evidence than just the AirTag, but it is possible that the police used that tip to kick off an investigation that ultimately led to the warrant and search. Or they already started building a case. Based off the estimated 15,000 stolen tools, this theft ring was in the millions of dollars and was quite possibly already on their radar.
Did the carpenter alter the tags?! Afaik they beep sounds around other unpaired iphones, additionally, using apps like AirGuard can alarm you about such ones.

Let's put it this way - if he held on to his badge/keys to enter a building and used these credentials to access a computer system without authorization, then yes, it would be called hacking. The word hacking gets thrown around in dumb contexts sometimes, but this is perhaps the clearest use of the word "hacking" I can think of.

Like, what would make this hacking to you? The way an attacker gains credentials to access a system does not really matter. If he socially engineered these credentials, it'd still be hacking.
Looks like it's working now - I tried out the gitlab repo. My laptops fans spun up, mousing over segments seem to freeze the UI, and I wasn't really sure what I was looking at in the first place. I think the app itself is pretty disorienting, especially compared with the simplicity of the landing page. Have you considered pre-rendering all this stuff and making the app more static? I think a significant improvement could be to change whatever is happening on hover to on click, otherwise UI elements are shifting around a lot and stalling as it synchronously retrieves elements. I really like the idea of an OSS codebase explorer though, hope you keep iterating on this project!

Regarding links in the article, it’s definitely lacking (as mentioned links like this: https://blog.chromium.org/2024/05/manifest-v2-phase-out-begi...) but also why don’t articles like this offer a consistent set of alternate browsers like Firefox, Safari & all the Chromium derivatives (Brave, DuckDuckGo & Arc) that include ad blockers? I get that there’s a difference between those & the free choice to pick your ad blocker; but eventually everyone grows tired of the cat n mouse game. Why not help promote switching?

> But normal people will also admit when they don't know something.

You'd like to think so, right? However, this isn't really a solid thesis. Decent people will admit when they don't know. Is that normal? I've worked with so many people that just do not fit that definition at all, to the point it just seems like that's the normal way to behave. Maybe I'm jaded grossly overweighting it, but it just seems I have been in way too many meets with too many arguments over something because someone refused to back down and admit their ignorance/arrogance wasted valuable time because of refusal to accept input from others.
In short: Compatible with existing Spark jobs but executing them much faster. Benchmarks in the README file and docs [1] show improvements up to 3x while not even all operations are implemented yet (i.e. if an operation is not available in Comet it falls back to Spark), so there is room for further improvements. Across all TPC-H queries the total speedup is currently 1.5x, the docs state that based on datafusion's standalone performance 2x-4x is a realistic goal [1]

Haven't seen any memory consumption benchmarks but suspect that it's lower than Spark for same jobs since datafusion is designsd from the ground up to be columnar-first.

For companies spending 100s of thousands if not millions on compute this would mean substantial savings with little effort.

Yes, but how should ServiceNow create session tokens if it is not part of the SSO system? I don't know enough about ServiceNow, but I think every large company has some products that are not part of their-SSO system. So that makes sense, but I am not sure about the next step.
In the sense of just completely making up references out of nowhere? Very low. Humans make mistakes, of course, but they tend not to be so egregious. Grounding a submission on a made up reference is quite likely to be fatal to your case in a way that most human errors aren't.
