According to a 2016 study, electricity theft and fraud in India can account for almost 20% of the country's total electricity generation. Other sources have reported that the percentage of lost electricity due to theft can range from 20% to 50%.
Electricity theft can be a result of poor governance, and power distribution companies (discoms) that are already in debt can face significant losses. Some say that the government needs to promote better governance in the sector to help manage the issue.

I'm not a fan of cheap puns, but that was excellent.
Nice! I would replace `ttysize w` with `tput cols` for use on macOS, and it works. However, for some reason, it erases too many lines when I tested it. Maybe something is going wrong with the "n" calculation.

For test I used `ping google.com | progressline`
ADetailer does exactly that. Feels like this large thread above is non-practicing for the most part.

There’s no eyes module in it by default, but it’s trivial-ish to add, and a hires eyes dataset isn’t hard to collect either.

Just found eyes model on https://civitai.com/models/150925/eyes-detection-adetailer (seems anime only)
I just tried termshark a couple weeks ago. It _was_ just like wireshark, which was nice. However:

* There's a "screensaver" which activates after a couple seconds and requires extra button presses to get back to real data

* In several sessions the TUI output got corrupt

* It has problems with remembering field expansion - I'd expand one field and it'd expand all the other fields after a second delay, while looking at the same message even.

* It felt pretty slow to start up

* I felt like I had some issues with filter accuracy

But it got the job done and most issues were easy enough to work around.
For recipes, there's other factors at play too - https://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ33.pdf

> A recipe is a statement of the ingredients and procedure required for making a dish of food. A mere
listing of ingredients or contents, or a simple set of directions, is uncopyrightable. As a result, the Office cannot register recipes consisting of a set of ingredients and a process for preparing a dish. In contrast, a recipe that creatively explains or depicts how or why to perform a particular activity may be copyrightable. A registration for a recipe may cover the written description or explanation of a process that appears in the work, as well as any photographs or illustrations that are owned by the applicant. However, the registration will not cover the list of ingredients that appear in each recipe, the underlying process for making the dish, or the resulting dish itself. The registration will also not cover the activities described in the work that are procedures, processes, or methods of operation, which are not subject to copyright protection.

Recipes were an easy way to avoid some copyright claims. Copy the list of ingredients, and write a paragraph about how your grandmother made it from a secret recipe that turned out to be on the back of the box.

I can still think of content farms and the 2010s and the sheer bulk of junk they produced.

And in trying to find some other examples, I found https://web.archive.org/web/20170330040710/http://mediashift...

> The former “content creator” — that’s what Demand CEO Richard Rosenblatt calls his freelance contributors — asked to be identified only as a working journalist for fear of “embarrassing” her current employer with her content farm-hand past. She began working for Demand in 2008, a year after graduating with honors from a prestigious journalism program. It was simply a way for her to make some easy money. In addition to working as a barista and freelance journalist, she wrote two or three posts a week for Demand on “anything that I could remotely punch out quickly.”

> The articles she wrote — all of which were selected from an algorithmically generated list — included How to Wear a Sweater Vest” and How to Massage a Dog That Is Emotionally Stressed,” even though she would never willingly don a sweater vest and has never owned a dog.

> “Never trust anything you read on eHow.com,” she said, referring to one of Demand Media’s high-traffic websites, on which most of her clips appeared.

To be insufferable may be a quality of humans, but is decidedly not an identity. I suppose your message here is that there is no discernible identity, surprising no one? So, for what logical reason are we considering software to be human again?
Yeah, I think I'm getting more detailed analysis on Social Media from strangers, which I know I should take with a grain of salt. But I guess I'm expecting a lot more than "a filed caused this" from the company that caused this havoc.
Yes, In order to provide features like semantic search and autocategorization/clustering the system will need to store and process private information.
The guidelines that I follow are about using trustworthy technology companies and reduce the number of services that handle data to a minimum:
- Store data on S3 buckets and digital ocean servers protected by all types of security offered: 2FA, ssh key, IAM, etc.
- For AI models at first I will use openAI and anthropic APIs. In the future I would like to run my own models for better privacy.
- Don't use any other service, everything else runs locally inside digial ocean server, eg: vector databases, mongodb, etc.

So it's not an app to store passwords but I think these measures should do for general notes and files.
I'm completely ignorant on the topic but isn't rebooting a default test for kernel code, given how sensitive it is?
Social Carbon is just marketing from fossil fuel companies to confuse people into thinking that its people's fault and for companies to shirk responsibility.
And this is the sort of thing there really needs to be a big "what matters?" conversation. 1% GDP growth is not important. With growth rates like that, what matters is sustaining 1% growth over 10-20 years so that the impacts become material. I hope Argentina is doing well, maybe Argentina is doing well, but this article contains no evidence Argentina is doing well, badly or otherwise.

And by all the heavens, could people please resist the urge to try and judge economic performance after a candidate has been in office for 1 quarter. Good economic management takes requires a decade or so before the fruits ripen. And mad scheme can work for 12 months and goose the figures if people care to.
I'm convinced this is the source of flat earth conspiracies.

Electricity in California is the most expensive in the country. When I lived there I spent between 20-35c/kWh. I moved to Utah and now pay approx 9c/kWh, cheaper by a factor of about 3. I live in the Southwest part of the state where the temperatures regularly hit 46c and my electric bill comes out to about $100.
> Far from being an "anticompetitive" practice that harms consumers, Apple's careful approach to app integration is a pro-competitive way in which it meets its users' demands.

It is extremely likely that this particular turn of phrase "Apple's careful approach to app integration is a pro-competitive way" was crafted by a lobbyist.

I would wait and see if such language starts to crop up in Apple's subsequent PR efforts. Reframing Apple's store as "app integration" is fiendishly clever BS.
Yes it's a compelling analogy. I just find it striking this event is closer to the end of the Vietnam war 22 years before Job's return to Apple in 1997, than the 27 years from 97 to today. There are almost certainly HN readers who weren't alive in 97, and yet the Jobs story works much as "It became necessary to destroy the town to save it" vietnam era quotes work: they're part of the culture now.

I doubt we have many 13 year old HN people but it won't be long before there's a cohort here who lived entirely in a post Jobs world.

A wild and mostly poor take. I understand the guidelines requiring more substantive posts, but I believe the overwhelming examples of detrimental companies are self evident.

I would have gotten the Playdate if it had a color e-ink display, hoping the next one would have one if there are plans for Panic to do this.

The benefits of color and also the benefits of low powered, long battery life with possibly the chance to change the color to black and white like original playdates shipped with.

Doom on Playdate looks awesome though!

That's a great point I'd never considered as a guitarist myself who uses both tabs and sheet music.

I think it also explains why in my last 2 years of playing flamenco I never found tabs, the rhythm is almost as hard to play by ear as the notes.
Honestly, consider taking a macroeconomics 101 course. I promise, the economic terminology you're throwing around will make a lot more sense, as will Keynes' ideas and how they relate to the way every single mature economy is run since circa the 1940s.

I got access to my husband's cell phone, WhatsApp calls, without his knowledge with just his cell phone number this badass did everything remotely, I don't know. if it's right to post his contact but I promised him referrals, alot of fake ass out here, also someone might need his help so help. I'm grateful to Hacker11tech. Email is hacker11tech @ gmail com Good work always speak for itself, you should contact him!
They can’t even fix their hiring process so never mind about fixing the world.
I don't have citations on hand, but it's commonly held that NSA fixed the S-boxes in IBM's "Lucifer" cipher design for DES to improve its resistance to (then publicly-unknown) differential cryptanalysis.

Of course they also crippled the key length to 56 bits...
I don't know where you get this opinion from as it doesn't match the landscape that I'm witnessing. Around the huge names are many companies and business units fine-tuning foundational models on their private datasets for the specific domains they are interested in. I can think of scenarios where someone is interested in training models to generate images with accurate reflections in specific settings.
I already added drag and drop feature! Welcome to try it!
It’s quite possible that one day future technology can beat this by feat by 4500 years. That’s when old kingdom Egypt adopted the potter’s wheel and started mass producing religious figures, like little cat figurines. To get more efficient in mass production, they started using reeds to shape clay on the potter wheel to etch features in a way that might reproduce sound waves in the air at the time it was crafted, and maybe, just maybe survived the kiln.

So sitting on the shelves of our museums might be little recordings of a few minutes conversation between workers in an early 25th century BCE Egyptian sweatshop. I would love to someday hear those words!
Any other cookbook-like recipes?
Just for clarification, I haven't marked off houses because I'm worried about "the ghetto". The third choice has come up in my searches a lot, it just requires quite a lot of work. West View is quite nice nowadays and plenty of areas in Pittsburgh are lively and safe, I'd say there's only a few exceptions.
Converting Codebases with LLMs
Rather point I think is there technical and evaluation gates companies of this nature regularly go through while contracting, part of that is being able to talk the language of the industry properly .

This seems very amateurish for companies who regularly talk professionally to win said contracts , whether the best product or not.

My guess is C-suite, crisis consultants and lawyers are involved heavily so the actual engineering folks have little voice now in any communication and we get stuff like this.
That doesn't happen if you click on the wrong link once though. I've got the "Adult content is forbidden" Zscaler page many times at work and I didn't even get a call from HR :) Ususally miscategorised but still.

And why would they, because if you get this warning you didn't get to see porn, so it doesn't work. There is no point to keep on trying anyway.
What makes you think they have CI after what happened?
Sorry didn't mean to imply Nehru, Gandhi, or Jinna were educated in the Soviet Union. Just that revolutionaries and early Communist Party leaders who were influential to independence were influenced by or spent time in the Soviet Union.
No, that doesn't follow.

For most systems, a sensible algorithm would be "keep running the last known good definition, until we get the next known good definition"

In other words: ignore bad updates but keep checking for valid ones. That doesn't mean you've permanently lost the ability to update.

Of course, for some systems, different behavior might make more sense.

Speed kills, but slowness eats lives in another way.

Which is worse, having a 1% chance of dying in a car accident, or spending an extra hour/day stuck in traffic? I think I might take the first option; it delivers a higher expected number of hours of life not stuck in traffic.
I dunno. The stock price will probably dead cat bounce, but this is the sort of thing that causes companies to spiral eventually.

They just made thousands of IT people physically visit machines to fix them. Then all the other IT people watched that happen globally. CTOs got angry emails from other C-levels and VPs. Real money was lost. Nobody is recommending this company for a while.

It may put a dent in Microsoft as splash damage.
Tariffs never work to reduce inflation, they do the opposite, its been done over and again by the dumbest minds in the world because it sounds like it should work, but it doesn't actually hold up.
I had to implement my own because all the alternatives were some combination of 1. Crap 2. Over complicated for my needs 3. Ridiculously expensive

Unless you are more experienced and smarter than average engineer working on a 3d party solution - you should build your own only for educational purposes.
That probably has more to do with not jumping on the latest fad* and installing an unattended unrestricted automatically-globally-updating rootkit on all of your critical machines.

That is generally recognizable as stupidity. And the ones that did so are now paying the price.

One of my friends worked in this for a while for a major studio (not as an actress by the way) and she didn't see any sign of it. Everyone was quite happy, the atmosphere was relaxed. They'd rent big villas for the shoot and go skinny dipping in the pool after, she said it was lots of fun.

And no the actors really aren't all stepbrothers/sisters :)
LLMs aren't logically reasoning through an axiomatic system. Any patterns of logic they demonatrate are just recreated from patterns in input data. Effectively, they can't think new thoughts.

HN commenters will defend the quality of Windows.

Windows is closed source for the vast majority of people who use it. No one oustide Microsoft, not even those who may have signed NDAs and can read some of the code, is free to edit the Windows source and recompile. If a Windows user wants to prevent something like this outage from happening, he cannot obtain the Windows source and make changes to prevent it. Instead he is encouraged (perhaps compelled) to let Microsoft remotely install and run new code any time it wants.
I'm scheduled to look at three tomorrow actually :)

I'm working with a realtor and the realtor's platform sends me emails immediately anything is posted within my search criteria and she is very very responsive.

Just to reiterate, it's not so much I don't find houses it's just they go so fast and seemingly quite a bit above asking. To that point the house I submitted an offer on in 24hr and was sold had 10 offers in that time. There's a lot of competition for the low supply.

Houses I'm looking at tomorrow: 1075 Warrendale Bayne, Wexford; 205 E Railroad St

I didn't get unhappy from the article, but perhaps artistically unfulfilled. What else compels someone to keep creating their art though? I will say, I considered myself a big fan of Adams as a kid, and still do (I was literally telling a colleague today that he was a wonderful narrator of his audiobooks - something actually a bit unusual amongst authors), but I was too young (most of his work predates me) to follow the ups and downs of his career as it happened, and so this article was enlightening.

One of the big ironies of all this is car insurance.

If you keep getting your car dinged on narrow roads, your insurance payouts will be larger than if you run over someone. Dings add up to a lot, but hitting a pedestrian maxes out the payout before the guy makes it out of the emergency room.

I didn't call for "speculation", I said the articles did a poor journalistic job of presenting relevant facts that might be informative: a) he stopped being in control of Fandango 17 years ago already (yet a casual read of the headline would suggest otherwise (the article body nowhere says "former founder" or "acquired 17 years ago..."), and the body of the article never contradicts the inference) b) his investing activities since then involved several other companies and sectors, less prominently mentioned in the article than Fandango. (Which were his main portfolio companies currently? What was going on with them? Obvious questions.)

Here's a link with some of that information: https://www.crunchbase.com/person/j-michael-cline

And here's another article that did report more on his post-Fandango background:
https://www.ctinsider.com/news/article/j-michael-cline-fanda...

And the TC article closes with this confusing sentence "Accretive, Juxtapose and Fandango did not immediately respond to TechCrunch’s request for comment.", which blurs that he wasn't at Fandango for over a decade. Comcast (who acquired Fandango) haven't commented either, but mentioning that wouldn't be that relevant either.
If you have write access a path like C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike\ (and I'd assume the parent directory), then you pretty much can crash the kernel many ways.

If you have the means to insert an AV config file update in between the config servers and the user's host then you probably can PWN the system pretty easily as well.
