> What confuses me about the part of the article you quote is that wifi doesn't really stick out as one of the harder parts of installing Arch; having fine-grained control over how the system is set up and therefore configuring everything by hand is kind of the point!

Agreed. On the other hand, what you decide to spend your time tuning will bias what you think of as simple or complex. I tend to lean towards the "fewest moving parts" along with "tried and true" solutions, so partitioning is straightforward. It sounds like you have other needs, so partitioning is more complex.

> It definitely doesn't enable it by default; I'm not really even sure what "default" would mean in this context because Arch doesn't really have an "installer" in the traditional sense.

By default I mean any actions taken by hooks/scripts during package installation, or the configuration files installed with the package. Arch may take a light touch, but some decisions are made either by the package maintainers or the original software developers.
Either way, shouldn't a company the size of Anthropic be scrubbing benchmarks from their training set regardless of how the benchmark data got into the training set?
I'd be very curious about that analysis should it be publicized. Specifically: how many other people does that stylometric analysis match "with a high degree of probability"? And what measures were taken to rule out things like adversarial stylometry?

My point: stylometry alone doesn't strike me as particularly strong evidence - especially in this day and age wherein people influence each others' writing styles bidirectionally all the time.
Are you okay with a bait and switch executed on a shorter time frame? How about a third party breaking into your house and breaking your things, or is that only alright when the original manufacturer does it?
If you _maybe_ need to share ownership, the second is a little pessimistic - you always increase the ref count.
Notebooks and journaling are great, but only for people whose memory is good enough that they can remember to do it, remember to set aside the time needed for doing it, remember where they left their notebook/journal, and remember to bring the books/pens with them wherever they go. It seems like a valuable tool, just not one I'd expect to work for everyone, especially those with ADHD which is where I see it brought up most often. This is something that cell phones could really help with, since most people have one on them most of the time, but some people don't like the idea of always carrying one or putting highly personal things into a device that's managed remotely by someone else and is designed to collect data about them which will later be used against them.
I'm really curious to see how the used market shakes out when it becomes time to play hot potato with the inevitable battery array replacement. Gas cars need work to but that work is less costly and they can take a whole lot of neglect.
Actually I don’t think UEFI firmware validates the initramfs — that is loaded by the kernel’s efi stub.

One can make a UKI image which glues the two together in a single file along with a tiny bit of code for booting it.
No idea, just pointing out it is such an obvious alg it doesn't really show provenance.

I used similar (well, plus addressing with localpart=name+<service>) a long time ago and once got emails to name+paypal@example.com even though that was a suffix I'd never used. Some enterprising person out there had obviously obtained one or more of my service-specific addresses and was trying to game my attention by changing the identifier to something 'important'. That's when I personally ditched the approach.
In Texas and Florida big trucks are gender-affirming vehicles for cis-people. That's the nature of reality, big toys for big boys.
> I think you can probably re-read and understand that their entire post is about the fact that Ticketmaster hosts, processes, and charges fees on resale tickets.

Yup. I misread the comment.
>1. We should tax vehicles according to their road damage, i.e., O((weight/axles)^4*axles);

Fair, though keep in mind that EVs and specifically their batteries are damn heavy putting them as sedans right up there with the bigger pickups and SUVs.

Taxes on EVs will also have to compensate for fuel taxes that would not apply to them.

>2. Vehicles with bumpers/hoods higher than Xcm should never be allowed in the left lane;

Here in America we deal in freedom units, not metric.

Also, Americans love their RVs and big muscle trucks (both pickups and 18 wheelers).

>3. Vehicles with gas mileage worse than 3g/100miles shouldn't be allowed to go over 45mph.

Hope you'll like your groceries and all other shopping becoming quite a bit more expensive to make up for slower transport. 18 wheelers are the life blood of the American economy.

>slap their business sticker on their 100k$+ 250s & 350s and then take the whole cost as a "write off" for "tax purposes".

What they are doing is buying the vehicle using company funds as company equipment and then writing it down as a loss on their Income/Loss sheet. There's nothing wrong with it and you should do so for any company purchases.

You might complain that the line between personal and commercial is being blurred and you would be right, but in the small business world that line is blurry for both practical and "less than justifiable but tolerated" reasons.

This seems... unsafe? I get that it isn't your fault if someone rear ends you, but the best advice I've ever hear on the roads was "be predictable." Stopping abruptly seems like a sure-fire way to cause an accident.

I don't know if it is any more, but as I understand it, the white dashed lines in the road would become solid a certain distance away from the light. That distance was roughly calibrated to being the distance it would take for the average vehicle doing the speed limit to come to a stop safely.

I was taught that if the light turned yellow and you were beyond the solid lines, you should come to a stop, but if you were inside the solid lines, you should proceed as if it were green[1]. This worked for a long time. Decades, before moving to a new area. I noticed that the newer area had stop light cameras, but I also quickly noticed that the lines didn't sync up to the lights. Perhaps there had been no effort to make them. Perhaps that was an older convention no longer followed. I don't know. But I miss having a reference for which way to handle coin-tosses without having to first become intimately familiar with the light's timing.

[1] - unless of course someone in front of you were trying to stop
Oh I misunderstood your original comment. What incentive do the towns/vendors have to setup these systems in that case?
I think literally destroying the cash would be a good solution except that the normal voter doesn't understand that this doesn't destroy value. So it would have serious rhetorical challenges. (Also, the value accrues to current holders of cash; not sure whether this might be too regressive/progressive relative to the "default" way that transfers are made.)
I like the micro-adjustment on that first one. It's still limited (I assume by frames?) but easier for me to use than dragging to get an exact frame.
I think the competition in this segment will make that less less likely. davinci resolve is good enough to keep them competative, same cant be said for photoshop or illustrator alternatives.

Excellent, that does look quite approachable indeed. Thanks!
I would gladly pay tax dollars for engine noise monitors that hand out tickets. I have to imagine it's out there already but if not there's a startup idea.
I worry that as long as the money remains in government hands at all there would still be abuse.

I had two ideas in this regard.

-----------------------

All fines (and proceeds from auctioning off seized assets) collected by all levels of government should be broken down into two categories:

- Traffic

- Criminal

If you have a drivers license and make it a whole calendar year without getting a traffic citation, you should get an equal slice of the traffic citation money from the feds and the city/county/state that has jurisdiction over the address on your DL.

If you have government ID and make it a whole calendar year without getting cited/arrested (let alone convicted), you should get an equal slice of the criminal seizure/fine money from the feds and the city/county/state that has jurisdiction over the address on your ID.

The funding for the distribution infrastructure should NOT come from the fines/citations/seizures.

In short, redistribute the fine money from those who broke the law to those who didn't (or at least didn't get caught).

-----------------------

The other far simpler option is that all fines/penalties automatically get applied to paying down debt owed by the collecting government.

If somehow a government has no debt (shocked face here) it would kicked upward to pay down debt at a higher level (e.g. city has no debt, so it gets sent to the state...and if somehow the state has no debt, it goes to the US Treasury's donation office).
This comment seems to ignore all kinds of good practices in human factors engineering that are prevalent in aerospace.
You have to define what you mean by "jet engine."

A gas turbine? Solid fuel (like a bottle rocket?) Liquid fuel?
Cully's Tavern Tales: Stories, Jokes and Recipes from a 19th Century Barkeep
Yes, I misunderstood what you wrote.

There are plenty of scalpers who sell tickets outside of TicketMaster, despite their best efforts. Do you think the $50/ticket fee that you paid would have been lower if you'd done your transaction outside of TicketMaster's platform?
I wonder what could be done with Java script…
Apparently you and I think somewhat alike!
> For example, an average man with an average woman's level of testosterone will experience a MUCH higher level depression, listlessness, and sexual disinterest than the average woman experiences.

Is this true even if they were to have an average woman's level of estrogen? It may be that the brain needs either set of hormones to work effectively, and doesn't work well when lacking both (of course, gender transition HRT aims for this, but pretty much all undergoing it are trans and so aren't a good indication of average reaction to hormones for their chromosomal sex. And a cis person undergoing the same HRT isn't likely to enjoy the process)
I am not disagreeing with you, but how does that make your original statement any less false, or my statement less true?
Cool library. Two small generic Go library issues:

1. The rebuf.Init function panics. I almost never want a library to call panic, and when it does, I want the library function to denote that. The convention I’ve seen most often is to start the function name with Must, so MustInit instead of Init. In this case though, I think it’d be safe to be a little more lenient in what you accept as input and trim the trailing slash.

2. I never (not almost, actually never) want library code to call any of the fmt.Print functions unless the library is explicitly for writing output, or that behavior is strictly opt in. If the library really must print things, it should take a user supplied os.Writer and write to that. Let the user control what gets printed or not.
My understanding is that the software Monica/Chandler is built around this concept
The battery is the achilles' heel of EV's. An ICE engine can last 20+ years if you take care of it. An EV needs a battery replacement at the tune of $10K+ after 10 years at best. I think once they make longer lasting and/or cheaper batteries, this difference will level out.

FWIW I drive a Toyota ICE and fully expect it to last to 200K+ miles and 20 years. If I decide to trade it, it would keep a heck of a lot of its value vs a Tesla. Those things depreciate like produce.
Out west where cars don't rust out from road salt, you see people still driving these 1970s trucks into job sites. A truck is a truck. Might as well get one from that era thats no taller than a sedan these days but still has a full bed and a big block thats probably going to keep on ticking another 50 years easy.
How did you profit from this bet?
One more advantage of this proposal: it would give some insight into who was right in this debate. If traffic camera roll out continues at the same pace after this measure is passed, we could conclude the cities are mostly motivated by public safety. But if, as I suspect, traffic cameras installation stalled, we've have good (though not incontrovertible) evidence that they are really just motivated as a revenue source.
ROS is shit. In every possible way. It's a set of semi-related components, most of which can be done far better by doing it the normal way or writing it yourself. Nobody wants a "DDS" to simply send bits across and nobody wants their build system and nobody wants their half-assed protobuf reimplementation. And so on.
I hate this website.
You left out the most important reason I went back to using grub: some motherboards have dodgy UEFI support, and having an extra layer of indirection seems to be more robust sometime for some reason.
In hindsight it should've been a huge red flag to me when the only "what's it like to do a Ph. D" students at the induction were comp. sci.

My advice to most people would just be "don't". My second run of advice would be "find the most boring project imaginable" since it's likely to succeed on the basis of "do a bunch of fairly predictable experiments and publish them".
Yes but if new data gets lost before committed to long term memory, then the result is the same.
I don't know if there are any specific studies of disease rates in ski technicians, or former ski technicians. But perfluorinated compounds are known to cause disease (including cancers) in animal studies, and blood studies have shown alarming levels in ski technicians, even months after the end of a season.

There are certainly cases in other industries (such as the Dupont factory workers) who have demonstrably high rates of disease from occupational exposure to PFAS.

The evidence was certainly compelling enough to convince the FIS to ban fluorinated wax, and from what I understand this ban is taken quite seriously. They have devices to check for fluorinated compounds on skis, and even the smallest trace of it can get you disqualified.
A great insightful comment, thank you!
Browser extensions have also been made for Goodreads that ping my library's Overdive/Libby API for availability, and that's positively addictive!
Sounds like you may want to check out Hatch
There should be a national standard yellow light times, perhaps scaled based on the speed limit of the area. That way folks will develop an intuition that serves them everywhere. Ideally with a countdown signal like making the light smaller or a number of seconds.

It's entrapment playing games with the timing to get more money from people, cameras or not.
Davinci resolve will quickly align multi camera shots based on audio (or other metadata) and makes it really easy to edit this type of video.
apparently whatever brain patterns being measured here are not on that list of factors
There are characteristics that must be paired to produce offspring. The starting point has utility in at least 1 fundamental way.
Yeah I often use my Apple Watch camera app to get a live view of what my iPhone sees when I have it on a tripod or do a family pic. It even allows for remote shutter and start stop.
My wife and I cast our own wedding bands too. She mentioned the idea of casting our own rings, and I remembered my friend happened to have made his own small foundry — a concrete lined paint can with some pipe and 10$ hair drier as bellows — a couple of years prior.

We bought some sand casting equipment and a thermometer and went over to his house. He had only ever used the foundry to melt aluminum, so we weren't sure it'd get hot enough to melt gold. We stuffed it with anthracite coal from a big bag he managed to get from a hardware store a while back, and sure enough, it got plenty hot enough. That 10$ hair drier really pulled its weight too, surviving hours upon hours of continuous use.

Before we bought any gold though, we did some test casts in aluminum. My wife, I, and a couple of friends melted down some cans, formed our sand molds with some cheap steel model rings, and cast some pretty bad rings. They weren't even rings, really, since they didn't even form full circles. But after a few more tries, we figured out better places to put air channels, how to pour the metal better, etc. and came out with some decent aluminum rings. We also cast some other trinkets like some dice and a little darth vader figurine.

More confident we'd be able to successfully cast gold rings, we ordered some 14k casting grain. When it arrived, we headed back to my friends house, cast some more aluminum trinkets to warm up, then my wife and I cast each others rings with only one small mishap; luckily gold can is easily re-melted. Breaking apart the sand molds to reveal the results was a tense moment, but they came out great.

We also opted for hammer finishes, and we're both very happy with the result. They have some small pockets on the surface, and we overestimated how much the rings would shrink, so mine's a little too big and I wear it on my middle finger, but we think of the defects as reminders we cast them ourselves. The end result wasn't the point anyway; if we wanted perfect rings we would have just bought some. The point was the experience of making them, and it sounds like the author had the same kind of experience, so I'm glad for him.

the author in theory gets royalties for every book sold (though usually not that high), but almost all books do get an advance, and as you point out, the royalties are so small that almost no books ever 'earn out' of the advance. so almost no authors actually get royalties for every book sold. they do get the copyright, though
Freelancing websites sometimes have talented folks, but long term projects may be tricky. The nice thing is that usually the funds are held in escrow, so if the work isn't done to your satisfaction you may be able to recover some, or most of your money.

Since we are also in validation phase, you are welcome to send a DM on Mastodon or Twitter with some of the details, and if the idea fits our current effort, given proper evaluation, we might be able to get you a POC at no charge.
"Provenance" might be have been a bit too strong; maybe I should have said "strong signal". It's an additional piece of info that will almost always identify the source, but in the rare exceptions it's not any worse than if I just used a single address for anything.
I'd be interested to hear more about this. I came close to working on a similar setup but the primary limitations were power and data connections. We figured we'd either need a manual rotation of batteries and storage, or maybe buried PoE to handle both. We never got past the initial concept

Right now the best solution is using hardware like the Atomos Sumo, if you want multiple sources and full quality. I wish there were an easy breakout for 2-4 HDMI or SDI inputs straight through to a multi cam timeline on my Mac.
> "Screenshots won't get you in"

I'd say this highly depends on the fastidiousness of the ticket taker and the rules of the venue. I purchased Major League Baseball tix recently through my employer which uses a 3rd-party seller site that has restrictions like this (a moving graphic behind the barcode with the admonishment not to take a screenshot because it won't work).

I was unable to attend the event that night so I sent my wife a screenshot of the ticket. Two tickets, in fact. They were taken with zero issue.
Lack of scripting automation and a blend tool are my only real disappointments with the product. These aren't enough to make me switch back to Adobe mind you, but they're relatively glaring omissions I think.
I'm not even from the US, which is a more expensive country by all accounts, and that sum is still laughable from my point of view. What's that gonna get you? A few months worth of clothes and basic supplies?

Some quick googling reveals that it costs around $300k to raise a child to the age of 17 in the US, not including lost income. When people were mostly farmers, having children used to advantageous economically. Now it's the opposite.

Surely a rich country can do better.
I'm surprised people didn't like them. they are super popular in places that tolerate them e.g. more vacation/resort style towns as the designated grocery getter once you've parked the main car for the weekend. I'd love to have one. I've seen like two of them in the grocery store lot before here in socal.
All the java libs that you use can never do an allocation -- ever!. So you don't really get that much benefit to the java ecosystem (other than IDE's). You have to audit the code you use to make sure allocations never happen during the critical path.

Fifteen years ago, the USN's DDX software program learned this the hard way when they needed a hard real time requirement in the milliseconds.
Yep I agree. The other advantage Vancouver always had is that there's a pretty significant amount of residential Downtown and near Downtown, and so Downtown didn't fully empty out as badly as many American cities, and there are a massive amount of workers that can walk and bike to work.

I don't have familiarity with the needs of digital effects workers, but I'm unsure that there were any technical barriers for the games folks. There were games studios that shipped games during WFH with all PCs and dev kits on site due to IP issues. The solution was Parsec, a pretty much magical piece of software that is essentially ultra low latency remote desktop.

https://parsec.app/

I remain shocked that so few companies outside of the games industry use this, and the software seems not well known, but maybe everyone else just ships people laptops.
The LMAX disruptor is a great data structure when you have threads bound to cores and most/all of them are uncontended. It has some terrible pathologies at the tails if you aren't using this pattern. Threads getting descheduled at bad times can really hurt.

SPSC ring buffers are going to be hard to beat for the system you are thinking of, and you can likely also implement work stealing using good old locks if you need it.
> 2. Vehicles with bumpers/hoods higher than Xcm should never be allowed in the left lane;

How does this edict apply to roads on which each direction has only one lane (accounting for about half of US traffic volume)?
The clocks often drift if you have more than 5-10 minutes of continuous footage though, so TC is essential. Unfortunately you have to bump up to prosumer/pro tier cameras and recorders if you want TC inputs.
4th & King is not comparable to Grand Central, which is a prime location. One needs to add the additional cost and time needed to take muni to where most of the offices are actually located.

They're working on extending Caltrain into SF's transit center, but that's currently a ways off.
Programs are tightly coupled to textual representations because a compiler is a textual representation transformer. If you deviate from the accepted textual form then the compiler is generally clueless to do anything - that is, it can’t read your intent.
the reason authors take that deal is the advance; they can pay the bills with the advance while they're writing the book, and in effect the publisher is assuming the risk that the book flops (as almost all books do), in exchange for almost all of the profits if the book blows up. because publishers have more money than authors, they can afford to take on more risk
