German polizei search culture blows my mind though.

When festival buses are going to Fusion Festival (think Burning Man), it's common knowledge that half the buses will be stopped and "controlled", i.e. warantless search of all the passengers' belongings. That my German friends think this is normal or acceptable just blows my mind.

Poland was partitioned in XVIII century by three similarly backwards neighboring Eastern European powers: Russia, Prussia and Austria. They were more efficient that Poland though, because they were ruled by ruthless tyrants, while Poland was a democracy of the nobles, with all the worst traits that can occur in democracies (triumph of small egoisms, power and votes for sale, domination of politics by few richest oligarchs who don’t care about the country etc.). It’s basically a great pre-modern era cautionary tale of how a democracy can degenerate to the levels of complete state failure.

But I believe these cases are not leveraging the 4th amendment. Civil Forfeiture has levied a flaw in the 6th amendment, where only people have a right to a trial and other procedural protections while assets do not.

So they try to separate the person from the asset, and launch a case against an asset as if it can call a lawyer and defend itself. They don't charge the person, they establish some weaker level of review against the asset.
If I had to guess blindly based on their writeup, it would seem that if their Content Configuration System is given invalid data, instead of aborting the template, it generates a null template.

To a degree it makes sense because it's not unusual for a template generator to provide a null response if given invalid inputs however the Content Validator then took that null and published it instead of handling the null case as it should have.

Also Western (considering silly movies like Enemy at the Gate). They had more than enough equipment outside of some brief periods to make something like that entirely unnecessary.

BUT the Soviets were much more tolerant about manpower losses than the allies and even the Germans. They regularly traded massive amounts of casualties (in ways that would have been entirely unacceptable in Britain/US) to sped up their advance (or due to political reasons).

Generally, people who aren't autistic may not understand how autistics associate information with other information, and may get confused when they see me talking about a seemingly unrelated or irrelevant subject in response to seeing a particular piece of information. As far as I could tell that seemed likely to have been the case here, which is why I mentioned my being autistic, because that may help one understand how I happened upon this train of thought under a submission that speaks nothing of psychedelics or LSD whatsoever. (The triggering phrase was 'designer drug', a term which I've also seen used in the context of psychedelics.)

Sounds like Android's binder was heavily inspired by this. Works "well" in practice in that I can't recall ever having concurrency problems, but I would not bother trying to benchmark the efficiency of Android's mess of abstraction layers piled over `/dev/binder`. It's hard to tell how much of the overhead is required to use this IPC style safely, and how much of the overhead is just Android being Android.

Power plants might be the much bigger issue. Coal is still > 60%, of course it has improved massively over the last few years (used to be almost 80% a few years ago). IIRC Poland produces more electricity from coal than all the other EU countries combined besides Germany (who also suck).

I'm not sure why Poles have this audacity that many young Russians (but also some Belorussians and Ukrainians, and some Soviet Jews) had to die so that Poles had better bargaining position with Stalin later on.

This all while explaining how Russian lives are worthless anyway (a scroll worth of comments) so why bother about these.

I'm also not sure why Stalin will discard his political goals and help Polish resistance achieve theirs instead with his armies. What did they expect?

I agree. I was merely stating the status quo. There was no decision to quit implementing SLO, the discussion was just stopped at one point.
Do the costs really matter here? "Weights" are "the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it" in the same sense compiled binary code would be, if for some reason no one could afford to recompile a program from sources.

Fine-tuning and LoRAs and toying with the runtime are all directly equivalent to DLL injection[0], trainers[1], and various other techniques used to tweak a compiled binary before or at runtime, including plain taking at the executable with a hex editor. Just because that's all anyone except the model vendor is able to do, doesn't merit calling the models "open source", much like no one would call binary-only software "open source" just because reverse engineering is a thing.

No, the weights are just artifacts. The source is the dataset and the training code (and possibly the training parameters). This isn't fundamentally different from running an advanced solver for a year, to find a way to make your program 100 byes smaller so it can fit on a Tamagochi. The resulting binary is magic, can't be reproduced without spending $$$$ on compute for th solver, but it is not open source. The source code is the bit that (produced the original binary that) went into the optimizer.

Calling these models "open source" is a runaway misuse of the term, and in some cases, a sleigh of hand.

Academic authors are shocked and concerned after discovering that Taylor & Francis, a major academic publisher, sold access to their research to Microsoft for use in developing AI systems. The deal, worth about £8 million ($10 million) in its first year, was revealed in a trading update by Taylor & Francis' parent company, Informa, in May 2024.

Many authors were unaware of this arrangement, as Taylor & Francis did not notify them or provide an option to opt out. Additionally, there is no indication that authors will receive any extra compensation for the use of their research by Microsoft. This lack of communication and the inability to opt out have raised significant concerns among the academic community about transparency and author rights.

Dr. Ruth Alison Clemens, a lecturer in modern English literature, voiced her frustration, stating that she only learned about the deal through word of mouth and was dismayed that Taylor & Francis did not publicize the information more widely. The Society of Authors has also criticized the publisher for not consulting with authors before finalizing the deal and highlighted potential issues related to copyright, moral rights, and data protection.

Taylor & Francis has defended the arrangement, claiming that it protects the integrity of the authors' work and limits the verbatim reproduction of text. However, the academic community remains wary, with many calling for clearer policies and better communication regarding such partnerships in the future.

I've spent last 8+ years working on various booking engines for a world's major travel company.
From the provided information it's a bit hard to see the full requirements so I'll just mention some of the aspects I had to deal with.
Managing availability isn't as straightforward as it looks on the first glance.

There are things like:

* in-advance-known closeouts

* sporadic closeouts (e.g. due to the bad weather conditions)

* sell-outs

* varying availability by date/start time

* links to partner services who can partially reduce the availability count

* allotments (availability quotas for different sellers)

* resources linked to availabilities (which is another dimension)

* the list goes on and on...

Anyway, back to the data structures.

After many iterations I've settled with using Guava's Table (yes, we use Java).
There are many ways to model this, e.g. you can have start times as rows and dates as columns.

It might not sound as sexy as you'd expect but it's super easy to visualise the model in your head and read/maintain the code later.

Then you can use Guava Range functionality for dates or times and do intersections etc.
Hope this helps.

Fertilizer isn't just energy intensive, the phosphorus part of it is non renewable. We get it from mining, there are limited deposits, the process of building the deposits happens on geological timescales. My hope is that the running out will be a slow process that comes with a slow price increase so people are eventually incentivized to find alternatives.

Also, the mining process leaves very toxic tailings, but that is true for most mining.

>They did write that they intended to fix the bugs

I strongly disagree.

Add additional validation and enhance error handling say as much as "add band-aids and improve health" in response to a broken arm.

Which is not something you'd want to hear from a kindergarten that sends your kid back to you with shattered bones.

Note that the things I said were missing are indeed missing in the "mitigation".

In particular, additional checks and "enhanced" error handling don't address:

— the fact that it's possible for content to be "problematic" for interpreter, but not the validator;

— the possibility for "problematic" content to crash the entire system still remaining;

— nothing being said about what made the content "problematic" (spoiler: a bunch of zeros, but they didn't say it), how that content was produced in the first place, and the possibility of it happening in the future still remaining;

— the fact that their clients aren't in control of their own systems, have no way to roll back a bad update, and can have their entire fleet disabled or compromised by CrowdStrike in an instant;

— the business practices and incentives that didn't result in all their "mitigation" steps (as well as steps addressing the above) being already implemented still driving CrowdStrike's relationship with its employees and clients.

The latter is particularly important. This is less a software issue, and more an organizational failure.

Elsewhere on HN and reddit, people were writing that ridiculous SLA's, such as "4 hour response to a vulnerability", make it practically impossible to release well-tested code, and that reliance on a rootkit for security is little more than CYA — which means that the writing was on the wall, and this will happen again.

You can't fix bad business practices with bug fixes and improved testing. And you can't fix what you don't look into.

Hence my qualification of this "review" as a red herring.

I deeply understand how hard it is to build a notebook like this. And there are indeed some problems lying in the collaboration and UX.

It's just so hard to propose those features, given the problem is usually the data itself and a highly competitive market. Popsql does not thrive as I remembered.

For TUI it uses ratatui.

The transitive dependencies can get quite large, though! I've never found the direct dependencies of any package to have superfluous dependencies (perhaps I haven't looked carefully enough?); they are always seem to be useful or easily provide functionality users expect to see, such as nice command line options and nice usage for them.
