Alexa is a wonderful idea in search of a serious use case.

It does timers, tells the weather, and, uh, shouts at me from Ring when someone is at the door.

Handy when cooking and I don't want to touch something.

The voice recognition is iffy, the misunderstanding is constant, the vocal command line is painful. The plugins don't work seamlessly at all.

But it's a good timer.
I know that people can function and even be high-level athletes without an ACL, but I haven't heard of non-surgical repairs outside of specific inteventions (holding the leg at a fixed angle for a few weeks following an injury). I'd be keen to read about this if you have links?
I thought it was for newsletters, like Substack. But I wasn't sure and now I'm even less sure.
Is it the new site of the OP? It's a strange list of yechnical equipment on sale. It may be interesting to read the backstory...
The trouble is there is no way to turn it off. I've nothing against that kind of thing in the right place, but for me Facebook is not that place, and it sneaks in no matter how hard you try and prevent it.

Here's some funny fail videos...of girls in bikinis. Here's some sport images for the sport you are interested in, with far too revealing angles/images.

So I don't use Facebook any more, and feel much better for it.
It's hard because your security department probably sucks. And so does your company culture. Do not take it personally, it's certainly why my employers can't find people fit for the space.

A large part of the problem is political cronyism and the incredibly tedious culture that develops when you get a lot of people with very few skills together to talk about something they know nothing about.

I'd legitimately take less money if I could somehow be convinced an employer isn't a piece of shit. If I'm going to work for an asshole, I will be well paid. I think this is a reasonable stance most people in the space take. That, or retiring and having a communal garden.
I live in the US, I’ve never heard of someone being called after work unless it was part of their job or some once in a decade emergency
Why not both: recognize one’s own shortcomings but engage in critical thinking around geopolitics?
It's math, but specifically an independent piece you could swap out for a different one that does much better on this problem (e.g. use characters instead of tokens) - it's just doing so would make training and inference much more expensive (read: much worse model performance for a given training/compute budget), so it's not worth the trade-off.

It's not like humans read letter by letter either, at least not past the age of 6 or such. They can, if needed, but it requires extra effort. Same is true with LLMs.
My position is that the geometric product and antiproduct are good for one thing, performing transformations with sandwich products q ⟑ p ⟑ q̃ or q ⟇ p ⟇ q̰ and composing those transformations. Literally everything else (join, meet, contraction, expansion, projection, inner product, norm, ...) can and should be done in the exterior algebra without any geometric products.
Very. Compare the height of Everest to the size of the Earth and it's an exceedingly small difference. Probably like the thickness of a film of paint on a baseball.
None of my tattoos have been "impulse". Planned months or years in advanced, hell I have a large tattoo project that I commissioned the piece for back in 2020 and finally starting the discussion about actually starting the tattoo.

I have several other tattoos that I have been thinking about for years. I have mapped out at least a general guide of where the tattoos I plan on getting, likely over at least the next 10 years on my body.

Tattoos are expensive. Most are not going to impulse something that expensive.

Thankfully most people have some common sense and realize that tattoos are just another way of expressing who you are and not trying to force uniformity. There are still some weird views about "acceptable" tattoo locations but thats another story.

I won't even hide my tattoo's for an interview, if you have a problem with it thats your problem and I don't care to work with you.
So this actually exists, as it turns out. You can run clangd-indexer to produce a static index and then load it with clangd -index-file. The caveat is that

> [r]unning clangd-indexer is expensive and produced index is not incremental.
It's not clear that the author of the project is the one who posted, it may never have intended to get this attention. Given it only has the one commit & mentions having been presented, I imagine this project is "done".
> because COVID misinformation was largely a right-wing phenomenon.

That isn't really a fair assessment; it is true that large groups of people generate more wild theories but there was a lot of misinformation everywhere. Most of it inconsequential.

But weighting by consequence it is hard to overlook things like:

- "Plague of the unvaccinated" and the tide of misinformation saying that the vaccine would halt COVID. A lot of people believed that. They were wrong. And a lot of the blatant human rights violations through the COVID era were probably driven by that particular mistake. It wasn't a right-wing phenomenon.

- "14 Days to Flatten the Curve", which turned out to be critical misinformation that derailed any debate over the wisdom of lockdowns. Certainly a forgivable move given the urgency and confusion in the first few months, but the fact that it was material and misinformation stands out in hindsight.

- Dismissing a lot of legitimate studies related to Ivermectin. It turned out that they were showing that people who had parasites + COVID had a much better response to COVID if they took an anti-parasite drug so, y'know, fair enough but not that useful in the west. But there was a lot of misinformation that the studies themselves were fake that undermined trust that the responders were looking at evidence. That dismissal was also certainly not coming from the right wing.
As far as I know the closest thing to an ad you’ll find on a Mastodon server is an occasional post from your admin saying “hey if you have some money to burn, we run partially on donations”.
Just for visibility of your comment, do you have transparent tattoos?
30% is a lot considering the sheer number of internet capable devices.

I don't think it's all that much of a failure. It just needs better battery life and local-first protocols.
> Both suggest targeting "disgruntled employees" and those with bad performance reviews as potential insider threats – Forcepoint even mentions "internal activists" and those who had a "huge fight with the boss" as risks.

> Forcepoint offers to assess whether employees are in financial distress, show "decreased productivity" or plan to leave the job, how they communicate with colleagues and whether they access "obscene" content or exhibit "negative sentiment" in their conversations.

This far surpasses the normal surveillance, which is more technical in nature. It's trying to combine mind reading and minority report to enforce a Stalinist level of thought control. How much can be delivered in reality remains to be seen, though.
I some times wonder what's going on in the lives of the people that they abandon something in the middle of success.
It's kind of amazing how quickly it went from being a part of The Future TM to feeling like tech from the 1980s.
It's quite a bit more accessible than DANE, so uptake has increased in the last few years. A bunch of high-volume operators support it, like gmail. But support also exists in newer MTA software like Stalwart, Maddy and ZoneMTA. (Though there are ways to add MTA-STS support to Postfix as well.)

MTA-STS has a great benefit that one doesn't need to deal with the antiquities of their registrars or TLD operators, just set up a few records and run a web server. WebPKI in general is also significantly better than DNSSEC. So you win twice.

Though MTA-STS doesn't cover the part between MUA and MSA unfortunately, I've seen an abandoned draft for MUA-STS but that's about it.
A great timer - especially in the kitchen!

But my iPhone does the same. And for $120 per year, that’s a good chunk of my iPhone cost every 4 years. E-waste, here we come!
It’s entirely possible that the language translation industry is trailing behind.

It’s also possible that the cost of LLMs outweigh their benefit for this specific use case.

The only vendor I know of doing LLM translation in production is DeepL, and only supports 3 languages, launched last week.
Your keyboard should have at least two shift keys. We are generally all civilians (both of my parents were soldiers - I'm not but I did love growing up in West Germany, funny old world).

This is yet another CVS and as I happen to be the MD of an IT company, I take it seriously. It is a bit of a pain having to patch a lot of systems every month and fiddle with firewall rules in response to notes and more besides.

I don't intend to feature in an el Reg or HN article. I've been lucky so far.

Have you found the shift keys?
I think most of these would be better off as files
you could easily imagine fedora distributing their own build of software whose licensing fails to comply with the debian free software guidelines; bundling proprietary software used to be common in linux distributions in fact
Seriously.

This is the textbook definition of front-running, or at the very least, a blatant display of insider trading.

I think, at this point, there are probably more task management tools that aren't Jira than there are users who don't want to use Jira.

I myself have a few; here's my entry into this particular category (c/line and written in bash): https://github.com/lelanthran/terminal-todo
Caltech is a "different", "technical" school anyway. I don't expect as many students apply to Caltech just because everyone does it like to - I don't know - UC Berkeley or Stanford. Some do no doubt but don't most Caltech applicants apply there because seeking a specifically technical school for a technical field?

(Which means then that men/women distribution won't simply mirror university education in general.)

The US Ambassador should talk to the Canadian media then, because they cover the US news exhaustively.
> NASA has to constantly wrestle with this 'force' in order to keep it an oligopoly.

Maybe instead of pumping money into the husk of Boeing they could try to give some to DreamChaser?
That's just glorious.

I would assume that if this was a problem you would know pretty soon after getting a tattoo right? Like if my tattoos are fully healed and at least a few months old I should be in the clear? I don't see this mentioned in the article.

Really don't like the idea of now needing to ask my artist about the source of their ink, but I also assume that Amazon likely isn't the only source of some bad ink.
911 service will soon work in the most remote wilderness or even the middle of the ocean or potentially even at the poles. Likely even on a phone with no service plan at all. This will save countless lives.
What percentage of consumers do you think are educated, or even know about the inventory commingling?
The much more interesting part of this article is the expanded extremely soft power the police will have to punish people for being essentially "in the way". This together with the cell phone issue paints a picture of a sick society.

The phones being removed from children is excellent, as the algorithms that prey on them live in those phones. The fact that we make, tolerate and in some cases even celebrate these apps is a travesty.
The fact that apparently a school teacher is no longer capable of de-escalating and telling another human being to move without the threat of immediate police violence is pretty telling. It tells of an environment where it's not only the kids that need to learn to interact with other people, the adults sorely need it too. That's something that shouldn't be addressed using more police violence.
Absolutely support this, so do I!
> MITM attacks today are extremely difficult to execute. Most local networks are immune to traditional types of attacks such as arp spoofing/poisoning and wifi networks outside of one’s home have had client isolation enabled by default for at least a decade now.

That's a strong claim. Most home networks most certainly aren't. There's also no enforcement so someone evil can always set up an evil twin, so what that the original has client isolation.
Sorry I clearly was not clear enough. I mean specifically an issue with MAUI itself. I agree dotnet/c# have some solid UI options cross platform at this point. MAUI however seems to be at best a mess and at worst dead in the water.
Shithole country.
What are you talking about? No it doesn’t.

The difference here is that when other platforms are informed about child porn they do something about removing it.

Nothing to do with politics at all, just a weird fantasy you’re choosing to believe for who knows what reason.
The toilet belongs in a different room! Used to be called a water closet.
Do you honestly think all the billionaires supporting Harris are actually for that? They’re going to be tons of loopholes and exceptions to these billionaires that give to her. If anything it’s attack on the middle class.
Not a guitarist (take my comments with a pinch of salt).

Your teachers are both right: Either advices (1) or (2) works as long as the practice is hard.

That said, while (2) may sound easier because the approach pursues "comfort in the mind" over perfection... this is still hard because because by definition: you still need to get from uncomfortable to comfortable!

A similar example in bodybuilding: muscle confusion [1]. To build better squats, one requires both compound(2) and isolation (1) exercises

(Huge Caveat: this only applies to physical deliberate practice!)
How I made a fun boat from materials you throw away [video]
The hn title claims more certainty than the article does.

An equally plausible version of this story is that a very rich fund exec came to the personal conclusion that VMware was a great buy & bought, then had some part in convincing his firm of same, because that kind of judgment is what he’s there for. None of that is illegal.

As the article makes clear, it’s only front-running if the employee has reason to believe his firm will be making an investment, not simply that it’s under consideration. There was an attempt to make consideration the standard, but it was beaten back as impractically vague.
While secondary portable monitors are aplenty, mounting options are vastly inferior.
He literally set a new record for how many different countries he gave access to when asked to do so. You’re living in a fantasy land
The ".NET" label was applied to a bunch of things at Microsoft.
It was also an early name given to their social networking / IM things.

But for the last 20-ish years it's really only been applied to things related to the .NET Framework.

So, yes - Visual Basic.NET is a language - it's the language that replaced Visual Basic 6. It compiles to the Intermediate Language (IL) that the Common Language Runtime (CLR) executes. There are other languages that compile to IL, too like C#, F#.

The .NET Framework is really a bunch of libraries and tools that are packaged together.

The .NET Standard is a standard that allows you to build a library to a known set of supported libraries and IL / CLR features.

So, yes, depending on which specific part you're referring to - it's all of those.

I think they mean TFLOPS, not FLOPS
The CBC basically parrots the US mainstream media like MSNBC and CNN. Which makes sense because the CBC rarely send their own reporters south, they rely on the newswire like Reuters.

Then they just layer on a "aren't you glad you aren't American?" narrative on top, which keeps Canadians voters distracted from the problems in their own country.

Rampant immigration? A few token articles a year. Superficial analysis using government talking points.
> A red flag is that ss-otr only provided binaries for download and not any source code, but due to the lack of robust reviewing mechanisms in Pidgin's third-party plugin repository, nobody questioned its security.

Opaque binaries without deterministic builds are an open source supply chain security hole that we will slowly, inevitably narrow. There will be much kicking and screaming along the way, though.
Surprise, this is just an index of plugins on a webpage and not in app at all...
Just a roll of the dice at this point. The USG has basically mandated that all of your most private identity information be turned over to global bad actors via their AML/KYC regime.

They're fine with that price.
Where did I hurl insults? The homeless are still homeless and in greater numbers so no, things aren't really any different.
You say:

> If you want to broadcast your low impulse control and bad decision making history, be my guest.

> I do think less of someone with tattoos

And then:

> would never ever say anything to anyone to make them feel bad about it.

Which one is it?
Congress often falls into periods of internal leaderlessness or effective ruderlessness (there is supposed to be an internal hierarchy of leaders in both houses - if there was a prime minister tomorrow, their title today would be "speaker" or "majority leader.") Taking into account the role of the president to take up the reins in those instances, and the consequences of the times a president has remained deferential in attitude despite there being nobody to defer to, we probably need a separate election for president.
> This is subjective. "Health" here might be taken to include mental health, in which case there could be many positive benefits.

100% this. I have a tattoo on my forearm that just makes me happy to look at. It is nearly always partially in my vision while working due to its location. If I am having a bad day I can just look at it and smile. It reflects an important part of me.

The mental health benefit of that, has been incredibly noticeable in my day to day.

Could I have done something similar with a picture on my phone or something? Sure. But this clearly has a huge impact on my mental health so why not get it tattooed. Also my 5th tattoo so it wasn't a crazy idea for me.

> why don't you vote in your interests?

I am... I just understand history, and you seem to either not, or pretend not to. Right now they promise to only steal from those worth over $100M (which sadly indeed does not affect me), it will be down to $10M within my lifetime, which would affect me. And thus my interest is to vote against it...

Honestly, this sort of programming (whether it's in quotes or not) will be unbelievably life changing when it works.

I can absolutely put into words what I want, but I cannot program it because of all the variables. When a computer can build the code for me based on my description... Holy cow.
From your link:

> Tips include:

> Cash tips received directly from customers.

> Tips from customers who leave a tip through electronic settlement or payment. This includes a credit card, debit card, gift card or any other electronic payment method.

> Tip amounts received from other employees paid out through tip pools, tip splitting, or other formal/informal tip sharing arrangement.
They wouldn’t have to be joke applications, just worse than the ones that were accepted.
Not only funding, but lots of technology, like original research into heat shield. And that's part of the intent of the NASA - it's as designed. Yet NASA is criticized because it doesn't do much useful lately - yes, it pays to SpaceX and yes, it runs ISS, slowly designs Moon program etc., but could do oh so much more judging by the past successes.
I've had good success using Syncthing to keep my tasks in sync between my phone, laptop, desktop, etc. Point it at your Taskwarrior data folder and you're off.
The only amazon device I own is a kindle and I still hate the idea that I can't know if its listening in, or trying to share my wifi with other devices through amazon sidewalk, or whatever.

They can charge as much or as little as they'd like for it. The idea of using such a service is repulsive, even for free. Amazon is the enemy, not your friend. Giving them more access to more of your life is a bad idea.
It's literature.

I never thought my English degree would be so useful.

This is only half in jest by the way.

I hope I didn't make it sound like it was easy, at least I don't think I said that anywhere. It doesn't really matter how hard something is to do (short of it being trivially proven impossible), it matters whether there's a good enough chance that the payoff exceeds the cost.

And actually there have been attempts to do it, I mentioned in an earlier version of my comment that Gene Amdahl had attemped to make WSE work something like 20 years ago, without success - but also without the clear profitability story of AI to attract the same mountains of cash being thrown around today.

What's surprising is not that it is hard, or that it's hard as fuck, but that given the potentially stratospheric rewards for success there have not been more attempts in this direction.

I am surprised there have been no high profile stories of people dying due to knock-off consumables from Amazon or house fires caused by knock-off electrical items. It's a matter of time, and if it makes enough headlines it could open more people's eyes to the risks of shopping there.

Trade is certainly a large factor which is why I mentioned NAFTA but that's just the nature of the global economy. The US also is affected by policy decisions in China.

It's not like the US sending billions to Ukraine or the security of the southern border affect Canadians. No politician is proposing any sort of dramatic shift in the US' relationship with Canada. There's no need for an average Canadian to have an opinion on Trump vs. Harris aside from being dragged into a culture war by consuming US centric media.
The Walmart one is particularly egregious because most of the marketplace is just "item that Walmart sells except 5x the price" designed to ensnare old people who click on the wrong thing.
