Britain has at least four types of crossing.

Ones with nothing except signs to stop, look and listen. You're most likely to find this while hiking, as a footpath crossing.

Flashing lights and beeps.

Half barriers, which only cover half the road (one lane in each direction). These are my automatic. Drivers can't get trapped.

Full barriers. These all have CCTV, and the train won't get a "green" until the signaller has seen both barriers close, and that no one is in the middle. These are used in cities and other busy places.

It's funny we expect governments stuff to be so bad that when they do something at the level of a regular SaaS our minds are blown.
The government is not a single entity. In this case the federal government is limiting what the state and local governments can do. The federal government can limit what federal prisons and those servicing federal prisons can do directly but not state and local governments directly, so they place the limits on the companies because that is what they have the power to do.

The state and local governments are partners with these phone companies and the outrageous rates are not a surprise outcome but an intentional one. In exchange for allowing such rates the prisons get free surveillance services and some combination of a fixed and percentage of revenue payment from the companies. In other words a legal kickback.
Yea we don't use that but we do use just as many incompatible connectors like most of what I listed. Even M.2 drives have two mutually incompatible connectors which look almost identical. It's easier to tell serial vs parallel port than it is purple vs blue vs black vs green USB-A ports.

Apple has always been good at keeping that clean though, at least for the external ports.

Keep in mind that any unverified cards have been "starved of regular review" for longer than any of the cards that have been shown at least once already. It makes sense to prioritize them, at least once they've become "due" for review. The fact that some users might find this unfamiliar or even confusing (because it only happens after you've taken a break and then resumed using Anki, so quite rarely) doesn't make it broken.

"Individual human action or reaction can never be predicted with certainty, therefore neither can the future"

See the death of Archduke Franz Ferdinand - perhaps could be predicted when it was known that he would go to Sarajevo. But before?

If you look at SciFi, some things have been predicted, but many -obvious things- haven't.

What if Trump had been killed?

And Kennedy?
The examples of dithering that look low-contrast and overly bright are due to incorrect gamma.

The diffusion algorithms don't inherently make images brighter. They require working in the right color space, linear light in this case.

This color space error is less visible when dithering to many colors, because the difference between the most similar color and dithered color is small, so the (incorrectly) diffused error is small. But dithering to 1 bit is the worst case.
security is a big reason to go local first in general (not necessarily with crdts but they are a strong option), less data over the wire to central servers, you can avoid even needing to know about user data if it stays on their device(s)

collaboration software benefits a lot from this approach because people can just use it and know it won’t get out of sync

Also, anything where you might need data offline at a specific moment. Like if the internet goes down but you still need the thing to show to the guy at the place, you’ll be glad if they used crdts because you’ll automatically have a copy

> LOL, ever heard of particulates from road wear and tire wear? Guess how the production of those scales with higher speeds?

I didn't have to guess because I looked it up. Turns out it's much more proportional to acceleration/deceleration than absolute speed.

> Guess what, that's changing with EVs. Hybrid or not.

But EVs can charge from renewable sources and then they don't have any fuel-related emissions.

> Awesome, put those where nowhere lives.

Roads are used for going from where people live to where they want to go.
I live on the same block as a urban street level crossings that just have lights. People routinely cut through the light. That line just goes to the factories so the trains are going pretty slow, or sometimes stop on the signal. There is a gated crossing a little further down the same street for a thoroughfare and cars routinely race the gate to avoid waiting for the train there too.

One could argue all those people are insane, but there are a lot of them.
I think wiring computers within the hospital over LAN, and adding a human to the loop for inter-hospital communication seems like a reasonable compromise.

Yes there will be some pain, but the alternative is what we have right now.

Tough luck. There's lots of things I don't want to do.
Sheet music often has fingering suggestions when adapted for a particular instrument. I say "suggestions" because on some instruments, like the guitar, there are multiple fingerings possible for the same note.

Which leads to something you didn't mention, that sheet music can be used with any instrument, whereas tablature is limited to not only a single instrument, but the specific combination of an instrument and a tuning.

In practice this means you won't be able to play a 6 string lute piece on modern guitar in standard tuning if all you have is the lute tablature.

Maybe. But I'll take my chances.

Down voting and not adding context because you simply don't like an idea (which on HN happens more than it should). That is, a very subjective DV.

Is not the same as an objective DV. That is, the statement is false and that should be known.

Again, the current system is too easy to manipulate. See an idea that doesn't fit your (narrow?) sociopolitical lens and you can make it disappear. Not because it's objectively incorrect, but simply because you don't agree with it. That's childish, at best.

> If only we knew how to do that.

We do. Quite a few other developed countries than ours are able to successfully rehabilitate prisoners, and have a very low rate of recidivism. We're never going to rehabilitate 100% of all convicted criminals, but we can certainly do orders of magnitude better than we do here in the US today.

But the US doesn't want to work like that. Most people here seem to think that prison is a place to be punished, not to be "fixed". And the entire prison-industrial complex that sits atop it all has a vested interest in keeping it that way.

In the US we are very good at cutting off our own noses to spite our faces. The kind of prison that actually rehabilitates people looks "unfair" to most Americans. It looks like coddling, a vacation, when compared to our current prison system. Americans want criminals to be punished, first and foremost. They should live in poor conditions and have the most difficult time. Because that's what they "deserve". And it doesn't matter if that produces the worst outcomes for American society as a whole, including for the people who believe this stuff. As long as the convicts get their harsh punishment, the tough-on-crime crowd is happy to endure any poor societal side-effects.

It reminds me of how we deal with homeless people, or even housed people who are on the edge financially. God forbid we give anyone anything without them having earned it. That would be colossally unfair to all those hard-working folks! Even if welfare and homeless assistance ends up making everyone's lives better than the alternative.

It's completely disgusting, but I don't know how to change people's attitudes on this, not at a country-wide scale.
Good to hear its working.

ClamAV is not a good example. Being an open-source volunteer-maintained thing that started as being specifically for scanning email it has a terrible detection rate at finding general windows malware compared to commercial products.

Anecdotally, based on uploading exe's that I come across to virustotal, ClamAV detects 10% of malware that the well known AV packages alert on.
Perkeep has (at least until last I checked it) the very interesting property of being completely impossible for me to make heads or tails of while also looking extremely interesting and useful.

So in the hope of triggering someone to give me the missing link (maybe even a hyperlink) for me to understand it, here is a the situation:

I'm a SW dev that also have done a lot of sysadmin work. Yes, I have managed to install it. And that is about it. There seems to be so many features there but I really really don't understand how I am supposed to use the product or the documentation for that matter.

I could start an import of Twitter or something else an it kind of shows up. Same with anything else: photos etc.

It clearly does something but it was impossible to understand what I am supposed to do next, both from the ui and also from the docs.

Apache Ozone is an alternative for an object store running on top of Hadoop. Maybe someone who has experience running this in a production environment can comment on it.

Still a staggered roll-out would have reduced the impact.
1) Over days sure, but not on the relevant timescales.

2) In terms of impact on climate the difference from 1990 to 2024 is mostly from CO2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_methane#/media/Fil...

3) It’s nonlinear, increasing methane concentrations also benefit methane scavenging bacteria which should increase the rate of breakdown as concentrations increase. OH only lasts around 1 second in the atmosphere so in theory it should be depleted by increasing atmospheric methane, but methane is only one of several things it reacts with so the difference is minimal without orders of magnitude change in Methane.

I'd like to see a test like "chance of hallucination per prompt." Obviously, this test rating is LLM specific, because if you were rating a humans ability during an interview for example, once you detected a hallucination, you'd politely end the interview and lock your door once the interviewee left the premises.
From Wikipedia:

> On April 21, 2010, beginning at approximately 14:00 UTC, millions of computers worldwide running Windows XP Service Pack 3 were affected by an erroneous virus definition file update by McAfee, resulting in the removal of a Windows system file (svchost.exe) on those machines, causing machines to lose network access and, in some cases, enter a reboot loop. McAfee rectified this by removing and replacing the faulty DAT file, version 5958, with an emergency DAT file, version 5959 and has posted a fix for the affected machines in their consumer knowledge base.

I do not understand your complaint. Any program, regardless of the language in which it had been written can be problematic to use when it depends on external libraries that you do not have.

Python programs are many orders of magnitude more fragile than C/C++ programs, because I have seen plenty of such programs that require a certain Python 3.x version and they refuse to run with Python 3.(x-1) or 3.(x+1), making it difficult to install simultaneously many such programs, each desiring a different value of x.
you people keep forgetting two things:

- there isn't a world government to enact such laws

- people would break those unenforceable laws
It uses VAD and processes after it detects no speech for 3 seconds, so only batch. Examples for integrating with Android apps? Like apps that can use it? Pretty much any app that uses Android's SpeechRecognizer class if you set Transcribro as the user-selected speech recognizer or if the app uses Transcribro explicitly. For example, Google Maps uses the user-selected speech recognizer when it doesn't detect Google's speech services on the system.
Certainly. It's all a cost-benefit and risk-reward analysis. Servicing it would require brand new, untested procedures, and Hubble's technology is now more than 30 years old. While designing a new space telescope is not an easy, cheap endeavor, putting the resources into helping Hubble last longer might not make sense, when those resources could go to something new and better, that can still cover Hubble's current use cases. And especially since they believe we can get another 10+ years out of Hubble without touching it, that gives time to develop alternatives, if that's what turns out to be what's needed.

Is the choice of tasks in the demo a comment on the ultimate futility of todo lists?

Even though Wile E. Coyote executes his tasks perfectly, his plans almost always fail.
It's worse than that. It allows politicians to disenfranchise the people they want to treat poorly.

War on Drugs is the case in point. The entire system is abusive and corrupt, but most of the people with first-hand experience are automatically disenfranchised, so it has persisted for generations against all reason.

I would love to be able to do DVS without a computer. I basically just want some piece of hardware with buttons (something like a groove box or https://1010music.com/product/blackbox) and I want to connect it it with usb-c to a one of those DVS mixers or a Reloop Flux.

I don't need anything fancy really. I basically just want to use my technics and this as a replacement / alternative for CDJs.

Been looking for something like this for years. The closest I know of is an iOS app that does DVS named djaypro

The pre-AI internet will be like scientists looking for pre-nuclear steel.
Love to hear stuff like this, both because it's interesting in its own right, and because the fact that it gets published and taken seriously gives me hope that we're finally getting our heads out of our collective asses with regards to the consciousness and moral weight of non-human animals.

My take on this, is that this was never, ever an issue. Only city folk have a disconnected, weird view of the world. Rural people, who live and interact with far more wild animal life on a daily basis, 100% know that animals have intelligence, care for each other, none of this is foreign or strange to those living closer to nature.

But there is also another angle to consider. Take a look at WWII. Take a look at wars around the world right now. Take a look at violence in our communities.

Now take a look at how humans treat animals. Notice anything similar?

We aren't being cruel to animals, but as a species, we're just acting as we act towards each other.

Do you really believe that a person that beats their dog, won't beat another person, given the chance?

This isn't about animal husbandry, whether for food or for resources (wool, milk, eggs, etc). When you look at non-industrial farms, small family run farms, they in most cases treat their animals with care, and empathy.

Even "the end", slaughter time, is quick, as painless as can be, with care and concern. There are videos on youtube for how you can slit a chicken's throat, and let it bleed out, without it really realising anything is happening. There are videos for breaking the neck (as an alternate), without the chicken having anything but a second of "oh no". Quick, fast, as painless as possible, endless people have this goal.

The end is going to come for these birds, but my point is -- you can see people DO care. Have always cared.

Is every small farmer like this? No. But my point is, is every human kind to other humans? We have psychopaths, sociopaths, unemphatic people who treat humans poorly.

So my premise here is, that animal abuse and human abuse go hand in hand. That we actually treat animals, and ALWAYS have treated animals as thinking, reasoning beings, but also through history have treated them like us.
The payload of a malware program could be encrypted with a regenerated key so that the only constant part of the program would be the part that does decryption and transfer of control. If you had a compiler that could generate highly diverse versions of the decryption routine (see "polymorphic malware") such a system is difficult or impossible for a signature-based system to detect.

Signature-based systems are inefficient in the sense that almost all of the signatures in your database are not active threats: ClamAV has more than 4 million signatures. A new worm could spread across the internet in less than 24 hours giving very little time to develop, test and deploy signatures.

I've seen your nick in other treads today, you seem to be down voted everywhere. I wonder why
The same thing happened to me. Escalating levels of non-response from my system, starting with the browser slowing down and culminating in Process Control stopping. I think it may have to do with uBlock Origin, which is default in Brave: on desktop (Edge with uBlock), it quickly spawns hundreds and hundreds of blocked POST calls to litix.io, an analytics website. These seem to be coming from the video player, which is constantly trying to beacon information back home. The site hovers around 10% of CPU on my desktop and I have to keep reloading it to poke around the devtools.

I would suggest making the analytics less aggressive and adding some kind of error catching so that it doesn't attempt to send data hundreds and hundreds of times.
Think probabilities here. Given human nature, what are the most probable solutions?

I’ve seen a number of cities find the authority or political will to increase the number of automated speed cameras. This suggests (while not a complete complete solution) a real step in the right direction
It all seems a bit marginal. Nobody actually uses the definitions to measure anything anyway, least of all by hand or memory, so it's not going to make anything more convenient having fewer digits in the still-arbitrary conversion factors.
