Fun site, but I encountered what seems to be a bug.

It 500s for the word "bill" and (after some further testing) with "kill", "thrill", "will", "still", "fill" and "phil".

It worked with "infill" (no results), but not "refill".

Any clue what is going on here?

Honestly, it took me about 10-11 hours to finish this article just because I wanted to understand "The Art of Finishing", and I totally agreed with what the author was trying to communicate.
Depends on where I'm going.

If I go to Saudi Arabia after having called for their leader to be executed on X for his treatment of women, yeah, probably not a good idea to go.

If I go to Iran after saying Khamenei deserves a rocket to his mansion, yeah, probably not a good idea to go.

If I go to Europe after having run a multi-million dollar scheme affecting European countries by white-labelling services from North Korea (legal in Brazil), and I'm a Brazilian citizen and know Brazil almost never extradites, yeah, probably not a good idea to go.

If I go to the US with my two 12 year old brides from Niger, yeah, probably not a good idea to go.
Of course you have to match the management to the local environment, I think that's a pretty well understood concept among the people who do that management these days.
A closed source $30 external network KVM is less expensive (and less featureful) than closed source onboard IPMI which typically increases board price by $100-$200.

I think there are some open source IPMI products, but that involves talking to an ODM about a run of thousands of boards which is a bit much for me; I just want two servers at home. I'm tempted by the Gigabyte MC12-LE0 boards that are low cost in Germany right now, but getting dedicated server boards disrupts my pattern of upgrade a desktop, and give the old board to my oldest server.
Humans learn by doing. All the books and white papers are a reference to be used while you're building something. Frankly, I'm a bit surprised to hear people have been doing anything else!
Vanilla DOSBox does not do printer emulation.

Understandable. But it requires some smartphone farm on the frontline because Russians already knows both phone numbers which may appear there and phone numbers related to tg accounts.
The font displayed on GOV.UK Vue is different from the default font for the GOV.UK Design System. This makes sense given that:

(a) GOV.UK Vue focuses on components, not styles; and

(b) GDS Transport, the default font for the GOV.UK Design System, is apparently not publicly available. https://designnotes.blog.gov.uk/2015/03/11/can-i-use-the-gov...
Whenever my frame rate drops on larger projects I can feel the difference. We probably don't need higher frames, but it feels better.
> “I didn’t want my ex-employer to deny my resignation and keep me working for longer,” she told CNN during a recent interview.

I don't understand this. Do these employees need the permission of their employers to quit? How is that not a kind of indentured servitude?

What happens if they tender their resignation, have their employer say "no" to it, but they just stop going to work anyway?

Looks like he’s lost faith in Intel. Maybe the best solution is for the US to lean in on TSMC and Samsung to provide manufacturing on US soil. We rely on foreign companies like ASML and having a duopoly is still OK.
Dell is working pretty hard to replace IPMI with Redfish these days. Redfish is an out of band management protocol like IPMI, but using an HTTP/JSON REST API that doesn't assume a secure management network.

In terms of C, that's one reason I prefer the BSD coding style:

int

foo(void)
{

vs the Linux coding style:

int foo(void)
{
}

The BSD style allows me to find function definitions using git grep ^foo.
Let's try to be civil here. Name calling is unnecessary.
I started getting some of these recently. They try to be threatening about porn watching and stuff like that. I just "Report Phishing" and move on. The threat itself is not that great: they'll send videos of your self-love to everyone. That's not outrageously threatening, if I'm being honest.
Ooo... Did it include the I-9 easter egg?
Can AI speed up your code?
Once I saw that the headline image was AI-generated, I skimmed the first paragraph and didn't find a lot of meaning in it. The dearth of content combined with an AI image made me suspect that the article itself might be AI-generated.

As a litmus test, I decided to check for the word "delve" to see whether it appeared in the text. According to an article I read in The Guardian[1], this word is more likely to appear in AI-generated responses to prompts. Sure enough, "delve" was right there in the second paragraph.

Of course, these two things combined aren't exactly a "smoking gun" proving that the whole thing is AI blog-spam, but I would bet it is (as first mentioned in another comment here). It's pretty wild to be living in a time where we have to be so wary of an entire article being prompt-engineered into existence by a lazy "author" eager for clicks.

You don't even need to charge, just some sort of validation wall before submission. I bet a non-functional AI checker would discourage the great majority of these.
There are many parts of the PNW that get enough rain yearly to qualify as a rain forest so naturally fires are going to be pretty rare in those areas. It'll rarely get ~~wet~~ dry enough to burn.
It’s been a long long time since I was interviewed for a job, but I have conducted a lot of interviews since then and any signal that the candidate has engaged with the question and has interesting thoughts about it is a huge plus.

FWIW I would never ask these kinds of gotcha questions. I just give simple programming problems and talk through solutions with the candidates, and then throw in complications to the questions to make them more interesting and test more areas of the candidates knowledge and problem solving abilities. Yknow, like what happens on the job every day.
“This ^” doesn't work well when comments are sorted dynamically.
Ten years ago someone told me that you can find out where someone lives by typing their name into Google Maps. I tried it on a few friends and it was shockingly accurate. I was completely mystified by how it worked (we were all college kids and none of us owned property) Doesn't seem to work any more though.

While the title mentions about one combination, the framework is generic to handle data consolidation from - numerous applications which may be using one or more popular embedded databases: SQLite, DuckDB, Apache Derby, H2, HyperSQL and - into a wide range of industry leading databases including PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, DuckDB and more.

A potential use-case for consolidating data from many duckdbs into a destination PostgreSQL + PGVector would be to build Edge first Gen AI,Rag Search applications using DuckDB's vector storage and search capabilities, while enabling real-time data data + embeddings consolidation from all application instances into a centralized PG + PGVector to readily enable global RAG applications.

When you show the distribution at the end, it'd be cool to be able to select my own threshold not based on the test results but my reaction in the moment to the color palette. I found that the distribution did not line up with where I'd draw the line.
That's silly. I'm guessing it's to prevent bot spam?

Wait I got it! Become a UFC fighter, then they really get a serious DMCA.
I think argv[0] is fine. It sounds like there is a lot of bad security scanning software that doesn't understand how the `exec` syscall works. That sounds like their problem and not a fundamental problem with argv[0].

Most people use argv[0] so they can do something like:

$ mycommand help
Type `mycommand foo bar` to foo bars.

$ mycommand1.2.3 help
Type `mycommand1.2.3 foo bar` to foo bars.

This is admittedly less fun when mycommand is /home/jrockway/.cache/bazel/_bazel_jrockway/7f95bd5e6dcc2e75a861133ddc7aee82/execroot/_main/bazel-out/k8-fastbuild/mycommand/mycommand_/mycommand` however.
I would actually love a regexp search-and-replace assisted by either TreeSitter or LSP.

Something that lets me say that I want to replace “Dog\(.*\)” with “Wolf\1”, but where each substitution is performed only within single “symbols” as identified by TS or LSP.

Note though that both of these solutions are racy and so should not be done if "someone symlinking really fast and swapping the binaries" is in your threat model. Linux proc/self is safe though, just not the result from readlink.
Your critique of the field would be largely correct a half century ago when theory and ideology reigned, but if you speak to any group of econ doctoral candidates today I think you'd be surprised how hard they're genuinely striving to root themselves (and the discipline at large) in empiricism and evidence-based thought.

The old guard still runs the show, of course, and the field will advance one death at a time.
It doesn't even have to be AI, photomanipulation has existed for a while.
My current employer has an unlimited vacation policy. Really it's just a joke because it's a way for them to write off a crude vacation as an expense from their books. Since vacation is no longer than accrued earned benefit now when I quit I don't get paid out any outstanding vacation because there is none. In reality when you have accrued vacation that has a maximum limit you will end up taking your vacation because it's a tangible thing and if you don't take it then you will be leaving money on the table so to speak. Going to an unlimited vacation policy people tend to take less overall vacation because they don't have a number sitting in front of them that says how much they can carry over a year to year and how much they'll lose if they don't take it.

Since vacation still needs to be approved by your manager or HR I'm shocked more places don't go to unlimited vacation. My employer is pretty good with vacation as long as you don't take unreasonably long stretches. If you try to take more than 3 weeks at one time they do end up questioning you about it because that seems like a abnormally long period. Overall I've taken eight weeks throughout the year and never been questioned with it. I imagine not all employers are happy to authorize that much even though the policy is technically unlimited.

Fixed. Thanks for catching this!
Yes transformers are a class of graph NN but there can still be value in dealing directly with both text and knowledge graphs (for RAG-style applications, presumably) because the graph enforces additional constraints.

It is like the difference between concrete and abstract syntax. LLMs frequently generate code that won't compile, since they predict tokens not AST nodes. They are underconstrained for the task.

How to address? You can train a single model to handle both, as the authors did, or you can manually enforce constraints while decoding.
No surprise there. As people say, "Clinton was the best GOP president we had".

NAFTA broke Unions and US manufacturing to were only minimum wage manf. jobs are available. Plus it harmed Retail Wages, when I was young, people working in retail made a decent wage. Now they cannot even afford to live on that wage.

Did NAFTA hurt Canada in a similar fashion ? I suspect it did unless Canada had laws to protect their workers.

I get what NAFTA was trying to do, and I think i would have been nice, but seems the politicians only listened to Wall Street when writing the law.
>> It is a shame we didn't take more pictures back in the 1990s. I don't have any pictures of my time there or with anyone.

I really appreciate your description and the picture it paints; it's a lot more work than taking a photograph. We take so many pics and videos these days that it can make the event or subject feel less valuable.
> Right now there seems to be an unnatural lack of curiosity about it from the government

Since the government has been forcing/coercing government workers into participating in research studies it seems they've been pretty curious about it.

I've seen a lot of reporting on it in the media too, even though there's not much known about it yet so it's not exactly being ignored.

If the govt bans a specific app, the people will just use another for accessing the same information.

It's not really tools for circumvention. The Bluesky app is more like Chrome for the ATProto network, the best implementation of a viewer, open source and leading edge. The moderation is less federated, more about user choice, as each labeller is centralized, but there are many of them.
>Like the way you stole Mary Shelley's Frankenstein to construct your analogy here?

This makes sense as an analogy because using your brain to think before you write is the same thing as using a tool that stands in for using your brain to think before you write.
Good job!

Isn't it technically a Console RPG? For a minute I thought you had created an RPG where interaction was through command-line commands, like "rpg /attack:troll" with some sort of persistent process storing state :)
Is it really so unreasonable to expect that countries prosecute people who commit crimes against their citizens with expectation of impunity the next time they visit their country?

You're proposing an alternative where people can just commit crimes with no recourse from the victims simply because a border exists somewhere and they commit the crimes on one side of the border.

Would you expect it to be reasonable for Canadian citizens to be shooting at Americans on the border and it unreasonable for American authorities to arrest them if they came to America?

> "Clearview AI does not have a place of business in the Netherlands or the EU, it does not have any customers in the Netherlands or the EU, and does not undertake any activities that would otherwise mean it is subject to the GDPR," he said.

what limits do we place on countries randomly being able to make supranational claims like this? do you want every online business checking the passport of their customer? because sure this case is fine but its a pretty dangerous precedent to accept without limits. for all its good intentions, GDPR has also resulted in cookie banner spam on the rest of us.

as with all government power - u may be fine when its used against things you dont like, but try to imagine when its used to against things you do...
> How many times have you used deception with them to get them to do something?

Never. I have certainly manipulated them, but never deceived them. In the case of children, manipulation is an important part of parenting until they reach a certain level of maturity.

Companies doing this to increase their profits isn't in the same ballpark.
When someone blackmails you, even if you pay them, they will continue to have leverage on you and ask for additional payments. So payment doesn't guarantee anything.

If you agree to pay, they can ask you for more in response.

When they cannot confirm that you have read an e-mail, simply don't respond to it. Do not even let them know you have received the message.
Not only that—anyone who's ever tried to have FaceTime sex knows that the only video they would capture is of your face watching porn... it's not like they can see your body unless you're specifically placing your phone in order to show it to someone else (which is actually kind of challenging and definitely nothing like how you'd use your phone to watch porn). They're basically threatening to send pictures of your "O face" which really wouldn't be that embarrassing at all to me, at least.
I don't think that the word "masturbate" is banned, but we will see.
The github repo explains the site a little, it seems https://github.com/chromatone/chromatone.center
`busybox whoami` is probably fine, but having to write `busybox ls`, `busybox grep`, `busybox cp` etc. would get tedious quickly.

Shell aliases don't solve all problems, even if you do:

alias rm="busybox rm"
alias xargs="busybox xargs"
# etc.

you still have to write `xargs -exec busybox rm`, because xargs won't use the shell alias.

But the main problem with this approach is that POSIX and LSB require certain binaries to be available at certain paths. When they're not, most shell scripts will just break.

The minimal standard solution is probably to create shell scripts for all of these, e.g. in /bin/ls:

#!/bin/sh
exec /bin/busybox ls

But this both adds runtime overhead (on every invocation!) and is quite wasteful in terms of disk space. Busybox boasts over 400 tools. At 4 KB per file, that's 1.6 MiB of just shell scripts. Of course that can be less if the file system uses some type of compression which is common on embedded systems where storage space is small, but it still seems to defeat the purpose of using busybox to create a minimal system.
Then it looks like I'm terrible at reading comprehension today, I understood you were arguing the same thesis as OP. Apologies, again. :)
Not seeing the first two but feel free to send screenshots to <firstname>@posthog and I'd be happy to take a look.

As for cookie banners, that's something we can both agree on. ;)
It isn't shocking that an American company would run into issues like this in the EU as it is one of the fundamental differences between American and European society. By and large, Europeans would rather this type of thing be in the hands of the government over a private company while Americans would prefer the reverse.
Will it ever be possible to export the code, or will it follow the Framer playbook?
> The rate at which they oscillate in time is the same rate at which they oscillate in space.

Wouldn't it be the opposite, that they do not oscillate in time at all so that they oscillate in space as rapidly as possible (since, as we know, time doesn't pass for photons)? And stationary particles don't oscillate in space, so they oscillate in time as rapidly as possible. Or are you using "oscillate" in a different sense here?
Wow, thanks, really appreciate the feedback!

How many people have actually had a chance to use a modern smaller phone in the last 5 years long enough to have any gauge of that though?

The iPhone mini bombed so there aren't really options even on the resale market outside of absurdly small secondary devices and feature phones.

People definitely prefer to buy larger phones, and that's ultimately all that really matters.
Similarly I feel like a lot of car purchases could have a cycle of a person increasingly bumping up the size they're looking at because a much bigger one is only a few percentage points more.
Does it evaluate macros?
Because macros allow for arbitrary computation.
You're probably remembering how it used to work. This is the example I remember from way back that we shouldn't use because (aside from being unnecessary and weird) this function wouldn't have a name in stack traces:

var foo = function() {};

Except nowadays it too does have the name "foo".

I think of it like a lot of the security discussion where nerds like us like to talk about all of these cool, complicated attacks because they are technically challenging but when you look at how normal people are suffering it’s mostly boring stuff like password reuse for anyone who hasn’t pissed off the Mossad.
> Would you expect it to be reasonable for Canadian citizens to be shooting at Americans on the border and it unreasonable for American authorities to arrest them if they came to America?

Physical violence is incomparable to working at a company that did something that would be illegal in a certain jurisdiction. Should the person maintaining Clearview's website be arrested in the EU simply because they work there?
