You really don't need mapping to get reasonably efficient cleaning. We have a robot that's nearing 15 years old with no mapping, but the algorithm it uses is pretty effective. The mapping represents huge over-engineering for what is a pretty simple problem.
I do the same but some service provider forbid you to put the name of the company in the mail. That's among those stupid security rules (one of the most stupid is MS Xbox service preventing you to have letter from your email in your password.

The MindWave Mobile seems far more convenient than a dissected Mindflex. Thanks for sharing the link—I may need to get one myself. Achieving consistent electrode placement was certainly a challenge when I was working on this project.

I hadn't come across the Nekomimi yet but it seems as though Neurosky has figured out how to manufacture relatively inexpensive EEG consumer devices. Further, the Mindwave mobile seems to get 8 hours of run time off a single AAA. I would suspect a more compact implementation of the Nekomimi is quite achievable.

As per usual The Telegraph standards:

Headline (statement): Extreme misogyny to be treated as terrorism

Reality: unlikely.

Fact:

Yvette Cooper, the Home Secretary, has ordered a review of Britain’s counter-extremism strategy to urgently address gaps in the Government’s stance,

and then there's a whole lot more tangential material The Tele has "and also" sweep in under the umbrella.

People that go on killing sprees to scare the community, be they incels, religious fanatics, et el will likely be charged under terrorism laws for any acts of terror they commit.
Reasonable people can disagree. What is a customer to do if they think a merchant is not a bad actor, but mistakenly refuses to refund their purchase? A chargeback seems like the fastest and cheapest option to resolve the dispute.
There are 6 categories listed in the article, not 4:

> There are several extremism categories ranked by the Home Office as an area of “concern”, including Islamist, extreme Right-wing, animal rights, environmental and Northern Ireland related extremism.

> There is also a category for “incel” ...

(The 2023 guide at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/prevent-duty-guid... says of incels, "It is possible that violent adherents to movements and subcultures, such as Involuntary Celibacy (Incels), could meet the threshold of terrorist intent or action, should the threat or use of serious violence be used to influence the government or intimidate the public.")

This strongly suggests there are additional categories, but I cannot find that Home Office list.

As for who came up with them, the article says the Home Office.

I never understood, what is to prevent a startup from raising a VC seed round, then a series A round, and then simply grow at its own pace?

Is there something in the SAFE note or whatever, that says the startup MUST fail fast, go big or go home? It can grow methodically, can't it?

The closest explanation I've ever heard is that VCs do "signaling" in future rounds... but listen, if you have a few extra million dollars to grow your startup, and you still can't become profitable after that, then something's wrong with yoru business acumen, in my opinion. Anyone with a few million dollars is able to hire people and create a profitable product. What happens if a company pivots to being profitable "too early", what can the VCs do?
On the flip side, clueless execs are killing tools like Code Search because they don't understand the value. They're willing to layoff off a team to save money even if it reduces the productivity of 20,000 employees by 1%

You realise your requirement is important for less than 0.01% of users? For every requirement you have to balance future maintainability and the impact it has on the code base against potential revenue
You are free to not use them.
As long as it survives an autoclave and doesn't leave behind any debris in the site, it seems fine.
As other commenters have noted, it was from actual user testing, and from the experience of the Xerox alumni. Definitely the right call in 1983.

Today of course Apple uses trackpads with "zero" buttons (though the trackpad is clickable in various ways) and a lot of non-obvious (though generally well-designed) gestures like two-finger scrolling, pinch-to-zoom/rotate, etc.
Space Adventure Game: 100% Coded by Claude Sonet

Heh. No complaints from me, just a real user reporting back from the front line.

Whatever you did, it loads now - cheers :-)
This is a disingenious comment at best.

The GP was clear at what they don't want.
Yes, I am working on using numpy to do the projection using matrices so we dont have to loop over each point and project it individually. That should be a big boost.

The way I handle the different camera images is to simply see which one provides a lower depth and use - with the idea that if the camera is closer, it would provide better information. But what you are suggesting is pretty interestint. I'm going to try that as well.
Can it run doom?
Reasons are actually stated, they explained it is not feasible for the general case.

Once the devs have made clear they don’t plan to do exceptions (as other softwares do) then users should accept it and move on instead of keep harassing volunteers.
I had that problem with a major US bank. Copy and pasting or retyping the password worked,
because doing so hit the client side JavaScript that truncated the password. If the password manager filled it out, it wouldn't work because it bypassed that JavaScript.
> For those of you managing server infrastructure,

As a developer who has often had to look into problems and performance issues, instead of an infrastructure person, this is basically the bare minimum of what I want to see:

* CPU usage

* RAM breakdown by at least Used/Disk cache/Free

* Disk fullness (preferably in absolute numbers, percents get screwy when total size changes)

* Disk reads/writes

* Network reads/writes

And this is high on the list but not required:

* Number of open TCP connections, possibly broken down by state

* Used/free inodes (for relevant filesystems); we have actually used them up before (thanks npm)
Are you sure this is not the fundamental attribution error speaking? E.g. are the 1-2% always the same people?
True. But my reference point is Lidars which mostly produce non-colored points.
I guess “high censorship” is subjective, but you can’t protest without a police permit, media organizations are licensed by the government, certain foreign media have been effectively banned when when they made statements the government didn’t like, you can’t put on a play without script approval by the government, all movies are presented by the government, and libel laws have been used to bankrupt political opponents, forcing them out of government.

Seems pretty “high” censorship to me.
Mostly true. But the last part is incorrect. There are far more pixels in an image compared to the number of points in the point cloud area covered by that image. So you get 1 pixel per point. In addition there can be multiple points that map to the same pixel.
That is the ideal strategy, but easier said than done. Once you’ve got that cash it’s very very hard to act like you don’t have it… especially when everybody knows you do.
Is there actually some "professional consensus" on password reset policies (in form of report or journal article or something similar)? If someone could share, I'd love to refer to it in my org to stop resetting passwords every n months.
For example, seventh cartoon from the top, the one with a Sphinx, Anubis and a pug, has the pie of opportunity in the lower left corner: https://www.bizarro.com/cats

This one is very easy to spot; find others on your own; e.g. in the same image there is also a dynamite; earlier image (mustache wax) has both and something else.
The flaw is in the step 2. - raising capital reduces skin in the game which reduces “incentive”. Honestly heard this before in things like “don’t allow founders to cash out in early rounds they won’t be hungry”. This is akin to “if you take the shackles off your slaves they will run away”

Taking on capital reduces risk for the founder which makes it more likely they will take better long term decisions. There is a balance obviously - if you give me a billion dollars for my pitchdeck I will certainly feel reduced risk but that may be offset by the risk the owners of the billion now take on.

But yeah, the flaw is thinking hungry people make good long term decisions
Store the fake details in your password manager.
Great read, especially from the perspective of just trying to understand why people overfit certain thinking to certain problems.

My startups perspective: I think it’s hard for people to understand the subtlety from all the memes and hearsay.

We hear that you need to talk to your users to understand what to build, but I’ve seen this fall flat on its face and lead to extreme confusion, several times now, when you’re not talking to your users as a matter of observing your product/business model against reality to then update the axiomatic thinking that (hopefully) lead you to its current iteration.

I’ve seen this play out as a cringy ask to “let us know if you think of any other features you might like” met with puckered faces from customers that essentially said “or how about not because my job isn’t to build your product?”

This is Henry Ford / Steve Jobs talking about faster horses. You’re not asking your customers what to build. You’re asking them to help you understand the reality against which your logic plays.

Then there’s the opposite, where a business marches forward because some axiomatic thinking has determined that the macro environment should support it, not updating itself against a pending catastrophe in cash flows that leads to cuts that further undermine its ability to exist even within its own framework.

Design and test from first principles, but operate for the pain of as many rounds as possible. Maybe one day you can truly optimize and it won’t hurt as much.
node_exporter ( https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter ) and process_exporter ( https://github.com/ncabatoff/process-exporter ) expose the most of the useful metrics needed for monitoring server infrastructure together with the running processes. I'd recommend also taking a look at Coroot agent, which uses ebpf for exporting the essential host and process metrics - https://github.com/coroot/coroot-node-agent .

As for the agent, it is better from operations perspective to run a single observability agent per host. This agent should be small in size and lightweight on CPU and RAM usage, should have no external dependencies and should have close to zero configs, which need to be tuned, e.g. it should automatically discover all the apps and metrics needed to be monitored, and send them to the centralized observability database.

If you are lazy to write the agent on yourself, then take a look at vmagent ( https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent/ ), which scrapes metrics from the exporters mentioned above. vmagent satisfies most of the requirements stated above except of configuration - you need to provide configs for scraping metrics from separately installed exporters.
AFAIK it doesn’t lock them, it just preferentially co-schedules things into a socket.
There's so many things wrongs in your post imho:

1) the destructive yet not helpful nature of your post. What are better alternatives to write JavaScript than TS? Elm and flow are not.

2) not realizing that any powerful type system (or language) has advanced concepts, this isn't exclusive to TypeScript

3) Not realizing this is mostly a tool for library authors to provide better inference to API consumers

4) Last but not least, 99% of TypeScript users can't even tell what a mapped type is (it's in the docs) nor define it or say when to use it, people don't even bother to read the docs fundamentals so attitudes like yours are unsurprising

5) Typescript is verbose, but very simple to follow and read if you know the basics. It's unmaintainable only because people don't bother to master any topic
I only very rarely use Azure DevOps, but that seems tame.

If you have multiple accounts open in the same browser session, regular Azure portal won't remember which one you chose when opening in a new tab. If you got to a new tab by clicking a link, it will send you to select which account you want, then helpfully send you to the portal homepage, forgetting the initial URL.

Well, that was before. Since a few days, they seem to have improved the experience, since they no longer ask which account I want to use, but helpfully pick the first on the list. No, they still don't remember which account was already being used when clicking the link. And no, switching accounts from the top-right icon doesn't keep you on your current page but sends you back to the portal homepage.

Then there are other webapps which seem to implement their own login flow: they figure your session is expired, but don't allow you to switch accounts. The only way to use a different account from this flow is to sign out of the current one, which, of course, signs you out from everywhere. The solution is going to a different site, say myaccount, login with the second one, go back to the first site which now allows you to choose.
I agree very much with you that interruptions are death of productivity. Your suggestions for weekly rotations are great.

However, I argue that if the engineers are interrupted by QA issues, they will be motivated to find ways to not have those QA issues. In absence of that, we end up with the familiar “feature complete, let QA find bugs” situation.
It sounds stupid but the killer feature for me is possibility to have multiple subtitles visible, all easily configurable with a few keybinds (track, offset, position, size etc). No streaming service provides this, and they actively omit subtitle languages that aren't "relevant" to your geolocation. I cannot respect a service like that.
Might, not will.

> leaving IT experts wondering, ‘Why would you pick Microsoft?’

Well I can tell you why people pick MS Authenticator - it's because microsoft basically forces it on you, uses dark patterns to avoid letting you use any other standard OTP app and doesn't give admins the tools to disable it.

As an admin, I can disable every single MFA method individually, including TOTP, but Microsoft Authenticator is force-enabled. When users go to enable TOTP (or are forced to), the option is called "Microsoft Authenticator", not something more generic. The QR code they get is not a standard TOTP one, so any other client will reject it. There's a small link below it letting you "use another app" which finally gives you a real TOTP QR code. This is INSANE!
So long as they are young!
You are obviously experienced and have knowledge of advanced abstract topics.

For you using ChatGPT as a NLP and flawed search mechanism is fine and even more efficient than some alternatives.

Advocating that it would be just as useful and manageable by inexperienced young students with far less context in their minds is disingenuous at best.
If breaches were automatic jail time, no one in their right mind would want these jobs. One same reaction would be to stop collecting personal data, but a lot of Internet businesses would have a hard time adjusting to that.

A more practical policy proposal would criminalize extreme negligence while focusing on financial penalties for lesser beaches. Possibly the young missing vs current policies is that the duty to protect user data should probably increase with the amount of data collected - the juicier target you make your company, the more the penalty needs to hurt. This could mean companies taking a hard look e.g. at whether they really need your address and phone number because every extra bit of hacked information should cost them more.
You can make the same argument for, say, paying protection money to the Mafia or for paying the 30% apple tax.

Just because it’s rational to pay off a monopolistic rent seeker doesn’t mean that the rent seeker generates economic value corresponding to the monopolistic rents they’re extracting.
I wonder if there is a technicality in the wording. It says "Ambulances have been called out" or "called to" it doesn't say they "attended" the warehouses.

999 operators will triage and prioritise ambulances based on the symptoms being exhibited.
Huh, I’ve always assumed it has to do with some about of “de jure” control over the board that the VC assumes when the capital is raised. If they don’t like the founders growth strategy , can’t they just throw them out? Or is that not how it works?
Mpv is great! And also the only player I found to be externally controlable, e.g. through a hardware jog/shuttle or an Arduino. This might be outdated (from 2018), but for reference (me talking to myself ;): https://softwarerecs.stackexchange.com/questions/53208/video...
A FOSS project can be FOSS and refuse all other contributions. FOSS does not make any requirements towards how the creator/main contributor handles and treats users, submitted patches, and feature requests. So no, FOSS users have zero inherent right to request anything - until the creator allows for it.

I agree that taking that kind of "closed" approach is not helpful.
> Q3: if you ran a small saas business, which simple tool would you use to monitor your servers & services health?

It seems like Datadog is an extremely obvious choice for this?

Unless you have someone you're paying to do devops full time it's almost certainly not worth the time you'll have to invest in setting up any of the open source tools.

At small scales Datadog is fairly cheap and will almost certainly give you everything you need out of the box.
I agree with you, but would phrase it differently.

You want some indication that any leak of your current password actually hasn't been mitigated. A failure message that your password hasn't actually changed (due to being identical) is functionally the same as allowing the password change and giving a warning that the passwords were identical (modulo some back-end details like if the password salt has changed and if the password change date has been updated).
The US's official public position on the One China Policy is a diplomatic front for the benefit of US relations with the PRC. The US maintains diplomatic relations with Taiwan through the American Institute in Taiwan, an organization owned by the US government and staffed by members of the state department.
In the cases where this is important, you can use pointers. Go allows you to make pointers to primitives as well (making the zero value nil) so you can explicitly define those edge cases.

You’d be surprised how infrequently that’s actually a concern though.
Query plans may depend on runtime information about a table’s statistics, though
You already have to maintain code for seeking by time. There's not necessarily any easy way to convert between time and frame count.
The system is too complicated because it's built off static card numbers and there is too much fraud.

X will disrupt this. They already have ID verification, money transfer licenses, and banking licenses. Just have a bank account with them and pay businesses (who are already on X) directly and skip Visa/MC altogether.
Some widely-installed GNOME applications are written in it. The compiler (actually a transpiler to C) has some issues and couldn't really be adopted to emit standard C: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vala/-/blob/main/ccode/valacc...

To me, what was surprising about Vala is that it has automated memory management, C#-like syntax, but does not really offer memory safety, even if you don't interface with obviously unsafe C code.
Shoot for sub 10 seconds. A gif. People’s attention spans are much, much, much shorter than that. Think 1-2 seconds. I think if you can’t get the idea across in 1-10 seconds you lose 99% of watchers
> However, I argue that if the engineers are interrupted by QA issues, they will be motivated to find ways to not have those QA issues.

There are institutional limitations that engineers cannot overcome, no matter how zealous or motivated. Moreover, companies also ought to remember that engineers can "find ways to not have those QA issues" by seeking employment elsewhere!
Sometimes you can abuse pointers as a (very) poor man's Option<T> type.

But it's turtles all the way down, you can't distinguish between for example `null` and "missing" when parsing JSON.
Seems like the posts were deleted. Sadly don't seem to be in the Wayback Machine either.
If the samples came from HN, I wonder how likely it is that the text is already a part of a dataset (ie common crawl snapshot) so that the LLMs have already seen them?

edit: judging from the comments I saw, they were all quite recent, so I guess this isn't happening. Though I do know that ChatGPT can sometimes use a Bing search tool during chats, which can actually link to recently indexed text, but I highly doubt that the gpt4o-mini API model is doing that.
Thanks for your example of the category error here. Are there other cases though? For example, sometimes I doubt my understanding of gradient descent because it is very hard to implement in code on data and show error reducing over time (writing from scratch). But in some examples of a few nodes I can calculate it perfectly. I can do the Maths manually.

What error might I be making? For the future, is there a list of types of errors?
I don't think this is a good take.

Magic doesn't belong in software, and a well-designed library or framework doesn't need it to succinctly express the program logic in a way that isn't boilerplaty and bloated, not even in Java.
