I've wondered if it would make sense for hotel/motel chains to offer a paid toilet service. Their locations already have a bunch of toilets (one in each guest room plus ones for the lobby and for meeting rooms) and already have cleaning people there to keep those clean.

Sell day passes that give you 24 hours access. If I were, say, going to drive from Seattle to Los Angeles I'd pay $20 to buy a pass that would let me pull into any Motel 6 along the way to use a clean bathroom.

Possibly. Or this could be a Boeing type situation where the stock price continues to fall.

Post your calls position if you’re serious.
I agree very much in principle, but pragamatically (i.e. in the real world) this strikes me as utopian and impossible, at least until human nature changes.

Toilets are a scarce resource (economically speaking), and thus there must be some rationing method in place. If it's not monetary, it will be something else. In a perfect world there would be plentiful bathrooms and everyone would diligently clean up after themselves and take the trash out when full, so operating costs would be minimal (power and water bill and occassional maintenance). In the real world though, people don't do that, meaning you have to hire people to clean. Some people will also vandalize, which gets expensive in a hurry. Public (government-run) restrooms tend to be even worse because they aren't actively monitored, and for whatever reason people like to trash them.

You’ve had some other recommendations already but I’d suggest also looking into FlatGeobuf [0] for this use case. Have a look at the MapLibre example with a 12GB example [1]. You don’t need a server at all (unlike MBTiles) and will be able to load far more points at once than your current solution. Can easily generate it with QGIS/GDAL/PostGIS. Not sure what your plans are for the project but would be happy to donate some time to get something like that working.

I've seen people cross on red lights. Sometimes it's the impatient person who has to get through as it's closing.

Sometimes it's the impatient person who is tired of waiting as the signal has been going for minutes and there's no other evidence of a train.

Sometimes it's the inattentive person following the car in front.

Gates help the third person most. I haven't seen many crossings without gates, but they're a lot easier to miss than a gate.

Protecting people from a train collision has benefits for the train system as well. A collision causes confusion and delay and may damage the rolling stock or even the rails and could cause injuries and the operators likely need PTO. So it's rational to reduce collisions regardless of opinions about the choices of the participants.

For audio software like this, using a GC-free language translates into reliable, stutter-free, low-latency playback, particularly on lower-power devices.

I think it's no surprise that GC'd languages are unpopular for audio applications!

Really appreciate your kind words among a fair bit of not so kind comments in this thread.
That gender thing is interesting. Could you try renaming some of the variables and substituting words in the comments so that the code no longer obviously appears to be dealing with gender and see if Copilot behaves differently?

If it does behave differently, I'd find that a bit worrying because conversion of a correct program into a different programming language should not depend on how the variables are named or what's in the comments. For example, assuming this is a line from a program written in C that works "correctly", how should it be converted into Go or Rust or whatever?

If the threat model includes "someone can feed corrupted files to us" then I would definitely want more robustness and verification, not less.

It's perfectly okay to make the protected services unavailable for security reasons, but still a management API should be available, and periodically the device should query whatever source of truth about the "imminent dangers". And as the uncertainty decreases the service can be made available again.

(Sure, then there's the argument against complexity in the kernel ... true, but that simply means that they need to have all this complexity upstream, testing/QA/etc. And apparently what they had was not sufficient.)
> Maybe, if there's a new zero-day major exploit that is spreading like wildfire. That's not the normal case.

Sure. And Crowstrike releasing an update that bricks machines is also not the normal case. We're debating between two edges cases here, the answers aren’t simple. A zero day spreading like wildfire is not normal but if it were to happen it could be just as, if not more, destructive than what we’re seeing with Crowdstrike.
This was literally among the best comments I've read today and I couldn't stop laughing out loud.
I would skip the dynamic construction of the subst-whatever property symbol. The mode name should just be the same symbol as the one that names the property. Little things like this just make code base harder to follow. You see a macro with a foo argument, and foo is nowhere to be found. "Oh you must be new to the project, everyone just knows when you see foo, that's secretly related to the completely different symbol subst-foo."
The whole point of this technology is that you don't need picking-and-placing anymore, it's all built on the same wafer.

I used an LLM to convert my XML parser from Dart to Go. It was mostly right but with some giant mistakes. This was when I was extremely new to Go, don’t know if I would do it again. It might be faster to manually write the code because that way I could spend less time reading it.
Again: I don't care if they are a kid or an old fart, this should not be anyhow relevant to the post.
By the way, Crowdstrike has shared "technical details", discussed here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41013198

Unfortunately it's rather lacking in both technicality and detail.
My read is that Crowdstrike's update agent downloaded new security threat definitions and those definitions exposed a bug in the existing Crowdstrike drivers, causing the disaster.

Maybe on Venus. I've read a convincing case that Venus can never be terraformed, simply because there is too damned much carbon.
Absolutely. I may be speaking from ignorance here, as I don't know much about Windows, but isn't it also a big security red flag that this thing is reaching out to the Internet during boot?

I understand the need for updating these files, they're essentially what encodes the stuff the kernel agent (they call it a "sensor"?) is looking for. I also get why a known valid file needs to be loaded by the kernel module in the boot process--otherwise something could sneak by. What I don't understand is why downloading and validating these files needs to be a privileged process, let alone something in the actual kernel. And to top it all off, they're doing it at boot time. Why?

I hope there's an industry wide safety and reliability lesson learned here. And I hope computer operators (IT departments, etc) realize that they are responsible for making sure the things running on their machines are safe and reliable.
It's not just coffee. If you're coming home from work and want to pick up dinner or grab something at a convenience store, are you going to stop at the place on the road you're already taking or do you want to add more time sitting in rush hour traffic to go somewhere else?
This is the result of RLHF (which is fine-tuning to make the output more palatable), but this is not what training is about.

The actual training process makes the model output be the likeliest output, and the introduction phrase you quoted would not come out of this process if there was no RLHF. See GPT3 (text-davinci-003 via API) which didn't have RLHF and would not say this, vs. ChatGPT which is fine-tuned for human preferences and thus will output such giveaways.
> There is a recurring need in the software world for teams to convert a codebase from one language to another.

Sounds more like a sales pitch than a reality. I have seen many times developers excited to port code from one language to another, but just because it is an opportunity to learn something new, do something different for a change and even rewrite old code.

What is the value if is done automatically, nobody learns anything and the code is just a transcript of the old one?

I'm sure Crowdstrike will not take kindly to their employees spilling the beans here, just saying... Especially a very high-profile issue like this that is likely to end up in the courts.
My guess is it’s (phased rollout) like all safety precautions. You can flout it and you’ll be fine most of the time, possibly for a while. It works until it doesn’t.

In this case it’s a bit ironic since their whole business is mitigating risk.

In fact, the most wrong assumption in the entire paper is that _canals existed at all_. Any fault lines on mars wouldn't have been visible from the telescopes they had at the time. The "canals" where in fact either optical illusions or streams of dust blowing around from wind.

The primary point of the paper is to dismiss the possibility that mars was habitable which he did quite effectively with basic thermodynamics, chemistry and geology, and the secondary point was to offer alternative explanations to explain what people were observing. Those alternative explanations weren't really necessary to achieve his primary point.

LaTeX is not just a set of macros over TeX to produce (nowadays) some pdf, it's a very big library of ready-to-use packages for pretty anything, that's VERY hard to "substitute".

You want inspiration for some strange table layouts? There are gazillion ready made; some graph? TiKz/PGF have gazillions of ready made examples... Want a programming language in the middle? Python, Lua etc can be embedded straight away.

So far I've seen few tentative to "replace or hide LaTeX", from the old DocBook to ConTeXt, no one succeed simply because of all the LaTeX already made and easy to import. Having alternatives, especially seen the actual "fragmented" development is nice, but honestly I doubt it can take off. Proprietary products are fast to wane in popularity if a serious competitor pops up because the users does not own them, FLOSS are much calmer since anyone can grab a piece and integrate ideas of someone else without the need to switch.

I assume that comment was saying that they handle the update process and that their machines don't have any malware on them.

That's a clever lifehack to save your company money, by not having any way to privately contact engineering all bug bounties will have to be reported publicly which means you don't need to pay anything.
I think a surprising amount of people already share this view, even if they don't go into extensive treatment with references like Dekker presumably does (I haven't read it).

I suspect most people in power just don't subscribe to that. which is precisely why it's systemic to see the engineer shouting "no!" when John CEO says "we're doing it anyway." I'm not sure this is something you can just teach, because the audience definitely has reservations about adopting it.

Why would the store need to track proof of ID? Clerk looks at card. Clerk checks date. Just like liquor in many states where they don't scan cards. No record is kept.

The county might randomize testing to catch stores issuing cards to minors. If such a store is caught, all cards issued by that store (which are tracked) are invalidated and you have to go to a reputable store. Stores would be required to reimburse you if you have a receipt, thus discouraging this behavior.

This is similar to cigarette sales in Oregon. There's no tracking, but you have to prove you're over 18. If a store is caught selling to minors, they are banned from selling cigarettes and fined heavily.

Porn should not be any easier to acquire than cigarettes, et al. Some things are for adults. I'm confused why this is remotely controversial. Should children be allowed in strip clubs?

For those of you pointing out the (obvious to some of us) problems with this approach, all I can say… having occasionally crossed paths (and done work with) the cutting edge of creative industries in London… this kind of extreme quirky/subversive/unorthodox pushing of the envelope is exactly the kind of thing they hire for and do every day. The advertising campaigns you experience yourselves, the ones that make it to mainstream B2C and B2B, are merely the tip of the iceberg. Under the surface (the extremely targeted campaigns you never hear of because you are not the intended audience) you’ve got all kinds of what you would think of as “dirty tricks” going on, and most of the time it works too.
Nope, not at all! We do cycle through bags of the fake food though, so shelf life isn't really an issue. We eat then normally and if the power goes out for a few days/weeks we can still keep eating them. If it's longer than that the preppers are gonna kill and eat us anyway, so shrug.
Typst has been pretty amazing, and at my organization, we’re very happy with it. We needed to generate over 1.5 million PDFs every night and experimented with various solutions—from Puppeteer for HTML to PDF conversions, to pdflatex and lualatex. Typst has been several orders of magnitude faster and has a lighter resource footprint. Also, templating the PDFs in LaTeX wasn’t a pleasant developer experience, but with Typst templates, it has been quite intuitive.

We’ve written more about this large-scale PDF generation stack in our blog here: https://zerodha.tech/blog/1-5-million-pdfs-in-25-minutes

The age-old practice of screwing over security researchers over any possible technicality is still alive and well. Brings tears to my eyes.
When we released our open-source project[1], this hacker (Eva) pentested our project pretty extensively and was very professional in their disclosures. They didn't even ask for a bounty since we didn't have a program back then!

None of this matters. For example, you could build an operating system with security signatures that are generated by the intrusion detection system and only executables with valid signatures can be executed. This would get rid of a lot of pointless online security scans since a secure system mostly consists of already vetted executables. Interpreters must let the operating system verify signatures of the source files.

Note how the intrusion detection system here only needs to do offline scans that are unaffected by security updates.
Agreed, it narrowly fits on RTX 4090. Yesterday I rented an RTX 4090 on vast.ai and setup Mistral-Nemo-2407. I got it to work, but just barely. I can run mistral-chat, get the prompt, and it will start generating a response to the prompt after 10 to 15 seconds. The second prompt always causes it to crash immediately from OOM error. At first I almost bought an RTX 4090 from Best Buy, but it was going to cost $2,000 after tax, so I'm glad that instead I only spent 40 cents.
This might fall in the category of Unconsidered Consequences. One can't merely oppose a thing and not support a replacement and have the fallout be "oh well, we tried".
