FuckIt.py the Python Error Steamroller (2018)
Yeah that's the brand I was thinking, they had one where bikes tilt up/down to simulate hills. I'm hoping for one that also tilts side to side. Their software/game also looks kind of meh. But I don't really need exercise bike to "simulate" biking, throw it in MS flight simmulator and do multi axis ET bicycle flights, or at least some sort of twisted metal.

A constrained environment forces developers to distill to the essence of the problem, thereby possibly understanding it better. It's the old "simple can be harder than complex" attributed to Steve Jobs.

"product recommendations that are way out of alignment with what most people need"

I have to disagree. When i dont do the reddit thing, the average quality of material products has been.. very bad. Amazon reviews don't seem to be enough to choose anything with an electric motor or a hinge that won't fall apart in a month of light use.
The problem for me isn't installing packages and their dependencies but removing the dependencies when clearing a package. Too many package managers leave garbage on the system just in case and now I have packages for who knows what
> Residents will need to pay an application fee of £108 and if their application is successful, they will pay a further £1,251 for construction costs and a licence for the first year. That works out significantly cheaper for the average electric car user compared to the cost of using 3rd-party chargers.

License for the first year, which means license for the future. An awesome money grab by local governments.

Nice, I'm always a fan of a well planned grift.
IMHO the article is about "data" as in "personal information", but let's indulge in your generalization.

In logic, you have definitions that are extensional (list of objects of the defined type) or intensional (conditions on the object of the type). Perhaps you can think of first representation as data, and the other representation as model or program.

But it's not trivial to convert between the two representations. From extensional to intensional is machine learning, and the other way you face a constraint satisfaction problem.

If we could somehow do both efficiently enough, then perhaps we could represent everything intensionally, as generative programs, and get rid of "data". But we don't know how to do this or whether it is possible.
> What's the short summary of how the authorization system works for this?

We built a permission system on top of Google's CEL [1]. Every object returned in a query is filtered by a 'view' rule. Similarly, every modification of an object goes through a 'create/update/delete' rule.

The docs: https://www.instantdb.com/docs/permissions

The experience is similar to Firebase in three ways:

1. Both languages are based on CEL
2. There's a distinct separation between data retrieval and access policy
3. You can start on a happy path when developing, and lock down later.

AFAIK, Firebase Realtime can be more efficient, as it can tell if a permission check has passed statically. I am not sure if Firestore works this way. We wanted to be more dynamic, to support more nuanced rules down the road (stuff like 'check this http endpoint if an object has permissions'). We took inspiration Facebook's 'EntPrivacy' rules in this respect.
>brain size...is getting impacted with the usage of social media.

While it's true that human brains have been shrinking, it's probably not due to social media - it's been happening for ages, for one thing.

>physically less capable

No. Your typical person is less capable, but if you hypothetically took people, taught them basic things about fire-starting, safe and unsafe foods, etc, and dropped them in the middle of some isolated forest, the ones who survived would probably wind up being just about as physically capable, if not more so, than your typical Stone Ager.

> if this continues [first theory]

That is unlikely. First of all, backups will likely exist. Print books continue to exist. Second of all, it is very difficult to live a life with no human interaction. Who will feed babies, teach children, et cetera? People - generally speaking - crave human interaction. Any AI/LLM that would be successful in eliminating the need for human teachers, caregivers, etc, would need to be very similar to them. We would still interact - maybe with robots, but still speak. Also, there are still uncontacted tribes, who would probably prosper.

It takes 200 gigatons of TNT to blow up a 25 km asteroid.[1] Some quick Googling and extrapolation suggests that asteroid weighs about 32.75 billion tons - in other words, the amount of TNT it takes to destroy an asteroid weighs over six times as much as the asteroid. Possibly. It's hard to figure this out. While asteroids are unusually hard to blow up, probably, and of course it's possible this effect diminishes with size, and there are more effective ways to blow things up than TNT, blowing up the earth would require turning a significant portion of the earth into explosives.

Earth has survived being impacted by something the size of Mars. I don't see humanity - or any species - feasibly destroying Earth, let alone the universe.

(Please don't try to prove me wrong on this...)

> Phil Schiller is a _former_ marketing VP, a position he left 4 years ago.

"Apple today announced that Phil Schiller will become an Apple Fellow, continuing a storied career that began at Apple in 1987. In this role, which reports to Apple CEO Tim Cook, Schiller will continue to lead the App Store and Apple Events." https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2020/08/phil-schiller-advance...

Schiller will continue [emphasis mine] to lead the App Store. In other words, he was already leading the App Store before he stepped back from SVP of marketing to be an "Apple Fellow".

Schiller's entire career has been marketing and nothing but marketing.

Admittedly, the App Store isn't under "Joz", who is the currently SVP of marketing, but let's not pretend that Schiller is anything other than marketing. Schiller has a special place at Apple because of his long tenure and relationship with Steve Jobs. Essentially, he has his own mini marketing team now (and continues to report directly to the CEO).

The main difference is that Schiller used to be the public face of Apple. Now Joz is the public face, and Schiller is more behind the scenes. But he certainly didn't magically transform from marketing to product security at age 60.

> These execs have marketing experience, but none of them came directly from marketing roles

App Store at Apple is a marketing role.

Yes, my monthly profile backup would have been worth repeating before this experiment. If anyone knows how to make a 7Zip archive of a live and running Firefox profile, I would back up far more regularly - but Firefox's lock state foils the backup, meaning I have to close down Firefox to archive the profile.
I'll always argue that what we've been seeing for the last few centuries is a local-maxima, and we're in a rut. We've hyper-optimized food and other goods production at the expense of a bunch of things, that we're only now realizing.

The environment is the familiar one, but also at the expense of health safety (PFAS/lead/etc), and at the expense of our societal makeup. Perhaps the optimal distribution of labor for food production isn't 0.00001%, but would be good for growth and other intangibles if it were say 0.05%.
Did they just assume "no errors on the server side, so the problem can't exist"? That's bizarre.
I think it's going to be "wild" even if we don't.
They're appointed by the National Assembly. Mexico is currently trying to replace their system with one where each judge is democratically elected. Critics are calling this a "power grab" by AMLO though since the judiciary has often been the opposition's main way to check him and his party's ambitions. Almost every federal judge in Mexico is on strike because of this
Even that at least helps rule out the most common issues, and is less frustrating than an update pooping out 0x80070070 and making you manually translate it to ERROR_DISK_FULL.
Yeah I always thought error messages like "semicolon expected at (31:71)" were a sign the lights are on and nobody home because of the compiler really believed that it would just put the semicolon in.
Hi! I would love to get some feedback.
What happens or happened in Saudi Arabia doesn't have any bearing on whether this Venezuelan election was won by the incumbent or the opposition based on the voting results (save for any direct intervention by Saudi Arabia which I'm not aware of).

Most things in life have a reasonable cost set by market forces. My expectations for a domain is in the $10-20 price range. Anything lower than that means I have to pay attention to marketing gimmicks.

There are also plenty of “free forever” subdomains if you are looking for, i.e.: afraid.org
I've seen TUI used for at least a decade? Things like this used to be just called "GUIs" even when running fully in text-mode back in the DOS days.

IMO "ed" is a CLI (i.e. the primary form of interaction is a command line), and "vi" is a TUI.
One sees this argument a lot in security circles, mostly by people with little to no training. This idea that "every little bit helps, so let's toss in some obfuscation ".

Security doesn't work like that. Mostly because (as in this case) the obfuscation is trivial to bypass. I simply replace your set of pngs with my html text.

It's probably worth understanding that professional scammers are not deterred by these trivial speed bumps.

The way to defeat scammers is to train those you know to accept that every one who phones you is a scammer. Every email you get is a scam. Trust nothing. Believe no one. The more they protest the more scammey they are.

And just for kicks, if you make any mistakes, if you do anything without consulting me first, I'm putting you in a home! (I wouldn't, but the point is made.)

Pngs on the bank page or not won't make my mom safe. Rabid terror of being scammed will.
You are joking, but all I want is the bass to feel really good and immersive in EDM songs. It somehow really makes me happy and the car ride so enjoyable. Like when the bass kind of smooths around you and it feels it's coming immersively from everywhere at once. With some setups the bass kind of does a rough "boom" and goes away quickly, while with others it kind of simmers and tickles you.
Venezuela's Supreme Court was packed by Hugo Chavez 20 years ago[0]. He expanded the Court from 20 to 32 judges. When he did this, he also filled 5 existing vacancies with new judges. In other words, their Supreme Court is controlled by the Maduro regime.

> it has an entirely different connotation

What connotation is that exactly? Does "The Virgin Islands", or "The Hague" for that matter, also have that connotation in your mind?

I am again just saying that there is nothing racist about the "the" in "The Congo". It is just a natural way to shorten "Republic of the Congo". It might be unusual nowadays, but that does not mean that there is anything pejorative about "The".

"Use case" has nothing to do with it, nothing about language use is fully "rational" or "optimal". It is obviously _possible_ to make do without the article, but what I am getting at is the misdirected anger some people seem to feel towards it.

It's all just some big WTF to me sometimes..
I've never heard the story of the Curacoa, but the summary on Wikipedia is bonkers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Curacoa_(D41)#Collision

Queen Mary is zigzagging around because maybe it'll confuse U-boats if there are any. Curacoa is trying to just go in a predictable straight line to maximize ability to defend against enemy aircraft if there are any. Queen Mary turns and slices straight through the Curacoa, doesn't stop to help because maybe there might be U-boats, and then everybody spends years in litigation after the war about whose fault it was.

TFR is collapsing to irrevocably below replacement levels in wealthy muslim countries as well. My friends in the region have cheap housing, relatively well paying jobs - are religiously traditional - the women want families, have the resources, cultural and the family pressure to, but still end up settling for 1-2 kids for less than >2 TFR. They also have help, like maids and nannies. This shit is not resolvable via just positive policy.

I think at some point you need to tie inheritence tax and wealth transfer into the mix, i.e. large % wealth/property can only goto direct kids, that scale up with # of kids. If you have 1 kid, max they can inherit is 40%, no properties. 2 kids and 80%, 3 kids and 100%. No kids, and 80% wealth/savings goes back to state redirected towards those with kids. Property gets auctioned off for same purpose. Positive incentives alone not enough, it has to be cripplingly expensive NOT to have kids.
Start with Nsight Systems and turn on GPU metrics. It’s super easy and the plots will give you an immediate sense of your utilization, and low-hanging optimization opportunities.

So using 10-wide parallel processing took your batch from 21 seconds down to 16 seconds, did I do the arithmetic correctly? That suggests the single-threaded version isn’t too bad. I mean a 25% improvement is great and nothing to sneeze at, but batching might only be trimming the gaps in between image pairs, or queueing up your memory copies while the previous inference is running. You can verify this with nsys profiles.

> i wonder if there is a fairly obvious way to truly utilize my beefy L40S GPU! is it MPS?

No idea, it’s not always easy (and generally speaking gets harder and harder as you approach 100%), but first profile to see what your utilization is before going down any big technical route. Maybe with your ThreadPoolExecutor, you’re already getting max utilization and using MPS can’t possibly help.

As a childless woman in her mid-30's, I take issue with this comment. I run a successful business that supports the livelihoods of a dozen people, I volunteer and am a an active community advocate, and I teach, among other things.

My decision to not have children is so I can focus my attention on other economic contributors and keeping my team employed. I'd hardly call that "dicking around without responsibility."
I guess you might be technically correct with that date being the official cut-off for pre-history, but the Romans who recorded successfully invading in 43 AD also recorded unsuccessful invasion attempts in 55 and 54 BC, so it's not entirely true to say that's the start of British recorded history.

I also think it's funny that Schama's History of Britain Volume 1 is titled "3000 BC - AD 1603" and yet only has 6 pages of information for before 55 BC, and certainly nothing specific date-wise that would justify choosing 3000 BC over any other random year.
Some topics are evergreen in part because their core principles ideas are deeply interesting and unique. In part because over time nobody can keep up with everything on HN and because there is a steady influx of new users by design. HN’s “Endless September” is a feature not a bug.

> Yes. The exporters can handle whatever meaningful address selection you can throw at them, including multiple disjoint ranges within the same section. So you can keep carving holes inside your selection until nothing remains of the original program.

Will this also work without painstakingly reversing things in the binary, say in the case of a giant game executable?

If possible, I would be very interested in a simple tutorial that takes an arbitrary Windows executable, delinks it and replaces a single function, without all the extra steps necessary to run it on the PS1.

It might even be preferable if it worked with MingW, since I'm on Linux as well.

They are more like ordinals than "math" numbers the way you're thinking. It's the fifth scale degree, not 5 of something.

The 11/12 contradiction, or seven notes in an octave too, is just because it's essentially 1-indexed. Interestingly indian classical music is distantly related through the shared proto-indo-european cultural history but counts it differently. They call the octave the saptak, etymologically related to the "sept" root for seven in romance languages.

In any case this is a cool demo, and the type of thing that I expect to be mostly solved as LLMs get better. Good luck!

The reason for the notes being black is because I have a B&W laser printer and it was the best way for me to create something distinct and visible next to the piano keys.

Yeah - with bluetooth, definitely there's much, much lower quality in some cases. Initially when trying cars I always used Android and bluetooth, and it gave me very bad impression of some of their audio systems. Then when finally bringing a cable for Apple Car play and using my partner's iPhone, the sound was totally different.

But it does also seem to depend on a car. Because I'm pretty sure I've had some very good experiences with bluetooth as well. And a case where bluetooth Youtube Music sounded good, and bluetooth Spotify sounded bad.

In addition both of these apps have different volume levels despite car having the same volume level, and Android has different volume levels compared to iOS, so all of it combined, testing around made for an annoying experience.
