Old tricks with a new generation of dogs. Novelty comes in waves just like any other trend, and we have new technologies to work with as well. And yes, it's all in execution. Apple shows how you don't need to be first, just the first to do it really well.

Very likely, yes. But you only really to do it once if you're the one trying to get a job. You're not responsible for any imitations
It's fascinating to learn about the large diversity of ingredients that go into kimchi (of all types) – from seafood (shellfish, fish) to fruit (pears, jujubes, etc...) and spices...

One of my first questions: how will climate-change affect the composition of "complex kimchi"? Will the changes be profound (at least to Korean tongues), as with coffee?
I mean I can get solar on my roof for about $4000Aud and then I pay nothing unless it's particularly cloudy.

But for grid electricity even if the generation is dirt cheap the power company in WA is responsible for covering an area the size of a chunk of Europe with a total population of under 3million.

There are significant distribution costs involved and I suspect even at the prices we pay its subsidised by the government.
The same situation is true of heart disease, albeit the risk is generally killing themselves vs a random stranger.

Bitwarden also supports passkeys, and works on iOS, Android, Mac, Windows etc.

Mind, I’ve no idea how well it does so. Every so often, my passkeys fail in some incomprehensible way, so I’m not very comfortable with the concept.
It’s obviously a generalization. If you don’t fit that description then they’re obviously not talking about you therefore nothing has to be done. Why would you have to say anything anyways? Who are you?

Another symptom of the decline of our formerly high-trust society.

You can’t have public bathrooms in a society filled with criminals and homeless drug addicts.
I think that's because of safety regulations, so that firemen can quickly check if there's anyone in stalls.

Yes, it sounds stupid as an European, where somehow we survive without this.
It's simple: they don't want you to slack in the toilets, sitting there scrolling Twitter, in other words they don't want you to poop on your paid work time.
The feeling of being unsafe or exposed is the point.
It is far more important to prevent (through shame and surveillance) any unamerican toilet activities than it is to allow peaceful bowel movements. In the old world there there are floor-to-ceiling cubicle doors and toilet bowls that could barely drown a toddler. I need not explain how this is the first irreversible step towards authoritatian socialist anarchy.
Have you considered the impact on emergency services of encouraging drivers to go as fast as they can whilst not paying sufficient attention?
Many of the disliked essay writing cliches are good speech tropes. The difference between reading and listening is that in reading you can skim and skip and rewind, so you don't need structured signposts to guide you through the content. In listening you do. You can't see the last paragraph coming when listening to a speech.

An entertaining informative style of speech can detract from clearly communicating substance. (Of course, the audience rarely wants substance.)
> responsible for covering an area the size of a chunk of Europe

3x bigger than Texas for the North Americans, with the majority of that population about one extended urban area.
Um, yes, kinda. Though in my experience (US/Michigan), "not public" toilets are very often accessible if one has a good subset of the following traits: Very polite, locally-majority-race, clean, appropriately dressed, discrete, elderly, frail, female, alone, heavily pregnant, with an infant or small child, familiar to the employees, not in an urban area.

Old geezer perspective: The withering availability of public toilets is just another symptom of the massive decline in social trust over the past half-century or so. I might suggest that the author talk to people on the "supply side" - especially long-time small business owners - about the expenses and miseries of being on their end of the stick...but the author seems so focused on the rights & well-being of the "user" population that I can't imagine him actually caring about "their sort".
I don't know how serious this article is. This is because even in Europe there's a huge disparity between countries and I don't think it can be generalised.

In London, it's socially acceptable to use the toilet of any venue like a pub. In Paris they have high tech public toilets that automatically clean themselves, in Turkey mosques usually operate public toilets for profit alongside with the facilities provided by the government, in Germany they have Sanifair which gives you voucher for your payment and you can use at any participating location to purchase stuff like coffee.
A threat actor able to evade EDR and moving laterally or pivoting through your env should be an assumption you’ve planned for (we do). Defense in depth, layered controls. Systems, network, identity, etc. One control should never be the difference between success and failure.

> “This is a function of the very homogenous technology that goes into the backbone of all of our IT infrastructure,” said Gregory Falco, an assistant professor of engineering at Cornell University. “What really causes this mess is that we rely on very few companies, and everybody uses the same folks, so everyone goes down at the same time.”
This is one of my biggest frustrations with living in Germany. And btw, so much for "walkable cities". Especially for the elderly who get the need more frequently, but even I ended up in situations where I am an hour away from home and needed to pee badly.
Pretty much every mildly secluded corner in the city smells like piss as a result of this ...
You know for a country who thinks of itself as more socially minded, and not as hardcore capitalist, they do nickle-dime you for everything.

To "throw him a bone" you'll "let" him get an IOU for what he put in (at very high risk) to create the "initial something" from "nothing" ?

I must be honest, if someone approached me with that attitude that would probably be the end of talks.

If Apple cared about users they would work on problems that really mattered instead of giving us a 100MP camera where 50MP is already just fine.
Brutal. This really exposes a unique vulnerability with azure that doesn’t exist with AWS or Google cloud. I wonder if some core Linux package somehow hit a boot race condition how resilient some aws and Google would be
Sure, so this clearly disrupts the transmission. But since there is strong encryption and authentication used in the Zigbee protocol, the chance of a mangled frame ending up at higher level in the protocol stack is approximately zero - anything messing up the frames will invalidate any hash so the receiver will discard these frames.

looks like some of that could have been handled with a linter autofixing afterwards.

I just ported 10k loc of react classes to function components using gpt-4o. The changes are mostly trivial, but would be fairly time consuming and tedious to make. It took me a few hours instead of a few days.
Something related that I've been thinking about is that there aren't many popular data storage systems out there that use HTTP/3 and/or gRPC for the lower latency. I don't just mean object storage, but database servers too.

Recently I benchmarked the latency to some popular RPC, cache, and DB platforms and was shocked at how high the latency was. Every still talks about 1 ms as the latency floor, when it should be the ceiling.
Mid 30’s. It got comments, haha.
I faced when I visited New York. I had to search Google Maps and it showed a public toilet in Rockefeller Center. I walked a few miles to reach but it was a real pain.
Having composed many pieces of coursework using Typst, I must say that it certainly makes academic writing more streamlined, engaging, and dare I say fun — though that might just be me. The functional nature of Typst's syntax ensures I don't have the erratic behaviour emblematic of modern day Microsoft Word and sometimes even Google Docs. Using a local IDE such as VSCode brings all the features one could like.

In comparison to LaTeX, overall document typesetting is far more straightforward. However, for long multi-page stretches of equations solving, I feel that LaTeX is easier to type than Typst because its syntax is not that of a functional programming language but more akin to markdown. Thus, one does not need to think as far in advance when typesetting equations with lots of functions, superscript, and subscript.
It seems so but not really, that's the frequency illusion.

The Internet could be governed. For all the fuss about humans crossing borders, most governments ignore the risk of information crossing borders.
No, I'd imagine most of them are comfortably using a language like Rust which got this right out of the box, or are like OP grumpily insisting that it's impossible and so nothing better can be done.

One of the perverse things about human nature is that many people would rather believe nothing better is possible than go to any effort at all to improve things.
What extra energy? Energy consumption around the world is rising every year and will rise even higher because of climate change. And carbon capture is not a viable solution to climate change.

"According to the IPCC’s Working Group III report, carbon capture is one of the least-effective, most-expensive climate change mitigation options on Earth."

"Even today, some projects already operating around the world have not been as successful as planned. In Australia, the CCS project run by Chevron has not yet made its Gorgon project meet its target of 80% carbon dioxide capture.

A recent report from the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) on two Norwegian projects that store carbon dioxide under the seabed called into question the long-term viability of CCS."

"There are currently 42 operational commercial CCS and CCUS projects across the world with the capacity to store 49 million metric tons of carbon dioxide annually, according to the Global CCS Institute, which tracks the industry. That is about 0.13% of the world’s roughly 37 billion metric tons of annual energy and industry-related carbon dioxide emissions."

They seem to have prioritized making the process simple for developers by removing overhead. Apparently you are don't have to write lots of reports about your results for them, they just check that the code you said you'd write is in fact written and runs.
If the orq instruction was really a noop then there would be no problem as well?

On the order of 0.

From what I read, we can expect a 1 degree increase if we release somewhere in the ballpark of 100 billion tons of CO2. Using those figures, 3.93 megatons is 0.0000393 degrees.

As a point of comparison, humans release roughly 40 gigatons of CO2 per year; 3.93 megatons is 0.0098% of that.

As another point of comparison, around 550 gigatons of CO2 is released (and absorbed) by the planet "naturally". 3.93 megatons is 0.0007% of that.
And meanwhile in Japan, I've seen bathrooms for hotel restaurants that expect you to pay an attendant.
>> The linked benchmarks do not test these aspects at all, and in addition use a version of Scryer Prolog that was completely outdated already at the time the benchmarks were made: The benchmarks use Scryer Prolog v0.8.127, which was tagged in August 2020, more than 3 years (!) before the benchmarks were posted. The linked benchmarks thus ignore more than 3 years of development of a system that was at that time 7 years old. Newer versions of Scryer Prolog perform much better due to many improvements that have since been applied. More than 1700 commits were applied between these dates.

In the SWI-Prolog discourse thread linked above this is pointed out to Jan Wielemaker who clarifies it was a mistake. He then repeats the benchmark comparing a newer version of Scryer to SWI and finds that Scryer has improved significantly:

Updated Scryer Prolog to 0.9.3. They made serious progress. Congrats! The queens_clpfd.pl and the sieve.pl benchmarks have been added. The ISO predicates number/1 and retractall/1 have been added. I had to made more changes to to get the code loaded. Creating a module with the programs and some support predicates somehow did not work anymore (predicates became invisible). Loading a file programs.pl from directory holding a subdirectory programs silently loaded nothing until I added the .pl suffix. The sieve bar is cut at 20, but the actual value is 359.

Cleaning bodily fluids and repairing bathrooms is not cheap.

That is why the government doesn’t provide them. If the government can’t be bothered to pick up that burden, no one else should be expected to.

How long will it be, before humans reading mostly LLM output, adopt that same writing style?

From what I’ve seen (tutoring high school kids), the picture is much bleaker. They use ChatGPT to write for them but they have no writing style of their own. They can barely put a sentence together just to write the prompt!
I hope eventually law regards these companies as "infrastructure" companies, just like companies that build roads, bridges and such, that may and will kill people if not run professionally.

I'm not trying to enforce certifications because as a dev certifications always raise a bitter taste in my mouth. But those companies need certified processes that get re-certified every year. Sometimes even a cursory review from outsiders can find a lot of issues.
Anecdotal, but I got an uber in London recently (quite near the center) and the driver was complaining the whole trip about the fact that he needed to take a piss, and that there was a severe lack of public toilets.
Dollar Maximalism
Yeah, and as far as I understood they use the key hash to address the overall object descriptor. So in theory using the hash of the file instead of the hash of the key should be a simple-ish change.

Tbh I'm not sure if content aware chunking isn't a sirens call:

- It sounds great on paper, but once you start storing encrypted (which you have to do if you want e2e encryption) or compressed blobs (e.g. images) it won't work anymore.

- Ideally you would store things with enough fine grained blobs that blob-level deduplication would suffice.

- Storing a blob across your cluster has additional compute, lookup, bookkeeping, and communication overhead, resulting in worse latency. Storing an object as a contiguous unit makes the cache/storage hierarchies happy and allows for optimisations like using `sendfile`.

- Storing the blobs as a unit makes computational storage easier to implement, where instead of reading the blob and processing it, you would send a small WASM program to the storage server (or drive? https://semiconductor.samsung.com/us/ssd/smart-ssd/) and only receive the computation result back.
I’m on the “pro” side of the vigorous debate here — this is charming, hilarious and creative. The marketing ‘targets’ are all by and large public figures, the ego ploy to get to them seems to have been generally received as intended, … how could you not at least look at these two for creative work / guerilla marketing / some super cool campaign?

High level marketing thinkers all understand that they are playing in the field of human manipulation; some campaigns / ideas are transgressive, some are transgressive merely for the time they are in, some push the boundaries and lose. From the results here, this pushed the boundaries and won.

To me the mild lean-in on creepiness throughout, including some of the ai videos just says ‘creative geniuses’ - they set up a full campaign that benefits from limits of current tech, and got themselves a contract at Saatchi, in a country that’s famously rigorous and bounded in terms of class restrictions.

Nice work guys, keep coming up with cool hacks and good luck in your business.
I recently started playing with some telescopes. Long-term exposures especially of areas with a bigger angle like nebulas had quite often a starlink trail in it...

while aligning the telescope to some stars I could see the satellites quite often
No offense but I think a lot of tech guys on this site have never dealt with the "other side" of life. The other side being the shitty, disgusting, repulsive aspect of humans that occasionally rises to the surface. The reason un-restricted public bathrooms are "challenged" (to use corporate speak) is because the second you have one available, either a homeless person will camp out in it for hours doing everything you can imagine, or someone will be a total anti-social asshole and take a crap ON THE WALLS. I've seen this occur dozens of times, without fail.

Yeah, it isn't as simple as "le humans are bad and mean mmkay." Like most things that remain unsolved, it is complicated.
We had had transistor radios for some time, so the replacement of that by the Walkman was not particularly noticeable in the street. The concept of private listening had already been established.
It's crazy how easy Google made the Internet for everyone in the 2000s. People got spoiled.
It's why I've never allowed automatic updates on any Windows systems I've been responsible for.

When Microsoft mandated automatic updates and users couldn't easily disable the update service, etc. I've taken to Windows with a Linux boot disk and simply nuked the components critical for the update service to work.

This nonsense would soon come to a stop if governments mandated that Microsoft and others who acted similarly compensate users for the downtime and disruption they've suffered.

I'd hope this incident would wake up governments to act but I'm cynical enough to know Big Tech has the money, power and means to thwart any such action.

(BTW, for clarification, whilst initially a CloudStike issue, I prohibit software updates of any kind that will patch or alter kernel or boot processes until proven safe, that includes any software or updates that require the OS to be rebooted. That means manual intervention at all times.)
In London places won't let you use their bathrooms unless you buy something.
The UK was by far the worst place I have visited for lack of public toilets. They also don't have many/any public fountains, which is insane around kids playgrounds that have no public facilities within walking distance.
No one cares about your content being merged into the LLM slop. No one will notice whether your content is in or out.

So why harm your audience and your own baseline preferences just to spite a system that will never notice the attack?
It’s absolutely one of my favourite books too. His style of humour was a perfect dichotomy of reverent/irreverent that made him the perfect author for a book like this. Beautiful appreciation of the world meets shake-you-awake, perspective-bending humour.
Check also SeaweedFS, it has some interesting tradeoffs made, but I hear you with wanting some of the properties you're looking for.
Pretty much. In the US, outside of major tourist areas, my sense is that explicitly public toilets have always been pretty scarce but, if you blend in, you can pretty much always find one at a hotel or a shopping center. No, you won't find them in a more residential area but that's always been the case.
As someone who almost never needs equations, does this have any benefits to me over using markdown?

I just read this article about vanishing bathrooms at Starbucks and other fast food restaurants which are pivoting to mobile pickup and drive-thru locations.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/19/business/starbucks-mobile-ord...

It doesn't look like the linked article mentions restaurant bathrooms but it can't be a coincidence. This all strikes me as a passive-aggressive reaction to FUD about homelessness and "out of control cities".
After zooming in I see interactive place markers
The public toilet in NYC is called Starbucks. It doesn’t get easier than that.
Surely this is an erosion in public trust, but if you’ve ever been in a busy public toilet that smells horrendous, you know from experience that maintaining these public toilets is no easy feat. At the same time, I agree with the thrust of the article that they are a civic good & necessity.

I live in the UK. I use the “Radar Key Scheme” for both my son and myself. The Radar Key opens handicapped toilets around the country that are otherwise locked. I asked my GP about a referral for this and they knew nothing about it. In the end I just bought one online. Bizarre. I have a disability that’s not visible, I’m otherwise healthy and relatively privileged, but being unable to find a toilet to use when my bladder feels like it is going to explode makes me feel like a wild animal - unable to fulfill the most base need in a culturally acceptable way - terrible feeling.
It hasn't always been like that. There was a public campaign in the 1970s to try to prevent all the child deaths from car drivers - Stop de Kindermoord. There's not really any excuse for continuing to design purely for car drivers apart from that's what people have been led to believe.
