Agreed, this article is dumb. These doors are obviously a big improvement over a regular toaster oven door. They're even conveniently mechanically linked, so opening one opens them both, so you don't need both hands, or to fumble with two separate doors. What's not to like?

The only possible problem I can see is that french doors are harder to seal, because of the gap between the doors. That's why they weren't used on refrigerators until recently, when they invented some ways to mitigate that.
> You never understand other people's code as well as your own.

Not only is that often false, but there are times when you can understand another author's code better than that author does. Like to see through it and why it cannot possibly work, while they are laboring toward that.
It is quite readable, has a certain softness along with some uniformity to it without all the comedy. I used it for quite a while before settling on Iosevka.
> It's not just shitty implementations here

I agree 100% the spec is shitty, but on top of it,some of the implementations are really weird beyond the spec. there was a prominent c library for it that (last i checked) in the default config added a custom hmac signature version where the hmac key is embedded in the attacker control document, and also hooked into the the system web pki, so if the provided key doesnt match, it will test if the doc was signed by a tls key from any website in the world.
I haven’t tried, and tbh I’d be very scared of messing with the complete cocktail of meds (~7) I’m on as it is. Risky! I’d rather maintain a knowable stability even if it’s non optimal.

I remember Adrian Crenshaw doing a speech at Def Con 22 about how people got busted using Tor. Even then he point out in most of the cases, it was bad OpsSec by the person, and had nothing to do with Tor.

This was a retaliation for an attack on unit 8200 headquarters, which was a retaliation for the assassination of a Hesbollah commander (https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/which-hezbollah-ha...) which was... you can see where this is going.

What do know for a fact is that Israel bombs Palestine constantly, targets infrastructure, won't let them build a port, denies access to food and water, targets aid workers, shot children in the legs with live ammunition en mass who did not pose an imminent threat (See: South Africa's ICC case) There is no city in Israel that looks like Gaza. There are no west bank settlements into Israel. The Palestinians do not have checkpoints in Israel, or occupy Israel.

The widespread starvation in Gaza is well documented, and Israel could prevent it easily if they would just let them get food, but Israel is deliberately not letting food in. Think about that.

They're using starvation as a weapon, but it's OK because they're starving people in self-defence?

Disclaimer: I am not blind, but I am disabled.

Does your region have any Blind-run blindness or vision impairment advocacy organisations, big or small? Local groups? Groups/organisations by the blind will be able to recommend all sorts of resources for your family. Online communities for the blind can help suss out which resources or groups are helpful (or harmful!), too.
Radio and podcasts only work with a small group of people who are good at creating that type of content. They either write a good script or have a clear plan (and talent) for unscripted content.

That's far different from "Hey it's Bob, ehm, so, yeah about tomorrow, we need a place to grab beers with John and Alex. I was thinking it could be SomePlace at X street. What do you think?" which costs the listener much more time than just reading a text message.

But I think this site might be on to something with the voting and all. That should bring out the content that's worth listening to.

I live in a fairly high crime area, but I can't imagine this being true in any way. What sort of crime are you thinking? Standard mugging? So many easier targets in other areas, plus the cars record everything, and there are usually lots of others charging.

The worst experience I have had while charging late at night in a remote area was being accosted by an over-enthusiastic Tesla fan who just wanted to talk talk talk about the car and where it had gone. That was very unpleasant, but certainly not criminal.
the 2021 Bolt that I drive could probably do that trip with a single 45-minute charge stop in the middle. I know that’s slow compared to a Tesla, but it ends up being fine most of the time
Had a similar issue with app engine decades ago. Burned me on cloud/PaaS completely, the fact that something like that is possible is a huge vulnerability.

There's a general ban on patentability of mathematical algorithms on the basis that they're not invented but discovered.

The legal basis for why that doesn't apply to software has always seemed specious at best to me.
No

Industry is already figuring out magsafe like solutions for Tesla Car chargers, it’s something else that Tesla is suing them for it lol.

Also, considering car chargers are likely to have many cars being charged, thieves would rather find it easier to steal parked out in the open cars outside people’s homes, than car charging spots which can easily be targeted by police to catch thieves red handed.

Not to mention, you’ll see more Magsafe charger implementations for Cars soon.

There's a lot of data loss and guessing with STT/TTS.

An STT model might misrecognize a word, but an audio LLM may understand the true word because of the broad context. A TTS model needs to guess the inflection and it can get it completely wrong, but an audio LLM could understand how to talk naturally and with what tone (e.g. use a higher tone if it's interjecting)

Speaking of interjection, an STT/TTS system will never interject because it relies on VAD and heuristics to guess when to start talking or when to stop, and generally the rule is to only talk after the user stopped talking. An audio LLM could learn how to conversate naturally, avoid taking up too much conversation time or even talk with a group of people.

An audio LLM could also produce music or sounds or tell you what the song is when you hum it. There's a lot of new possibility

I say "could learn" for most of this because it requires good training data, but from my understanding most of these are currently just trained with normal text datasets synthetically turned into voice with TTS, so they are effectively no better than a normal STT/TTS system; it's a good way to prove an architecture but it doesn't demonstrate the full capabilities

This test is very easy for the victim of an active and damaging abuser to score 3 or less. This is at best a triage test to inform immediate intervention; it's definitely not something to inform an adult in retrospect.

Especially this caveat:

> Having a grandparent who loves you, a teacher who understands and believes in you, or a trusted friend you can confide in may mitigate the long-term effects of early trauma

While true, from experience all of them can contribute directly to that trauma instead.

(ACE 4 in my 40s. My grandparents were dead, my parents were both cops who prevented friends from contacting me and controlled my movement, my mother used my father's abuse of her to threaten me, and my kindergarten teacher had my school principal beat me so hard for talking in class that I was mute for two years and gained a speech impediment that took another five years to mitigate, and which still affects me when stressed.

Three unsuccessful suicide attempts before I was 20. I'm still scared to death daily that my parents will find where I live, learn that I'm married, contact my spouse's family or employers, etc. Fantastic therapists and found family are why I'm not in a grave.

My last contact with my parents was 2 years ago, when my mom tried to claim my dad was dying and they needed me to come home to deal with estate paperwork. It was bait; nothing was wrong with dad, and I found out only because I hired a lawyer and investigator to go visit them to confirm.

My late first spouse had an _even worse_ relationship with their parents, hadn't spoken to them in 20 years, and the only instructions they left before passing away were to not notify them of death or estate plans under any circumstances. Probably a 2 on their ACE.)

I'm very satisfied with my life. My only regrets are not getting further away from my family sooner or cutting off contact with them as thoroughly as my first spouse did.

Agreed.

A targeted strike against enemy combatants (with minimal civilian deaths) is LEGAL WAR.

Indiscriminate booby traps into a civilian population (regardless of the original buyer) is definitely TERRORISM.

At this point, Israel’s detractors will say morally it’s no different than Hamas.

The dropping of bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima was TERRORISM as well as well as the fire bombing of London and Dresden.

> Here's the thing, the people that mentioned the market wasn't good were people that we didn't hire.

Well of course. The people that got hired wouldn’t think it’s bad. But objectively, the number of open jobs has declined and layoffs have increased. Mathematically, it’s worse. And if you were employed at Amazon, you had one of the “best” jobs (on paper) in corporate America, so most things would look “worse”.

> This is a silly statement. You must be in a bubble to think this. Money is not the only driving factor for people.

Money absolutely is a driving factor for most people. If you’re working at Amazon already, you’re not doing it for the culture and good vibes, you’re probably doing it for the money. Maybe you’re doing it because you can have the impact of hundreds of millions of dollars or hundreds of millions of users. All the “RTO quitters” that are hoping to move for greener pastures won’t find many companies paying 500k to someone with <10y of experience. There aren’t that many businesses that have so many individual products generating so much revenue, nor do many customers or traffic.

meaningless simplifications and lack of uniformity

and lots of other things. The syntax leads to messy code.

I think it needs a lot of ergonomics changes for being developer friendly. Until then I stick to Julia (and some Scilab or TCL/TK). Not the same but I prefer developer peace of mind.

> In my own opinion, a good step in the right direction would be if we could travel to European countries as easily as we used to be able to.

I don't agree. Russia's regime threatens Europe with invasion and nuclear bombs almost on a daily basis, and vilify everyone who doesn't enthusiastically support their invasion of Ukraine. A few years ago Russia even had a nuclear bomber circling the coast of western Europe.

This behavior is not limited to government. It's not unheard of having Russian tourists insulting and threatening locals. In Europe or in any corner of the world. There are also Russian citizens attacking refugees and asylum seekers in foreign soil, even Russia's own war dodgers.

You cannot expect to systematically threat neighbors and still demand or even expect them to continue to cater to the whims of the agressor. It is a voluntary relationship that cuts both ways.

When you start a war, you should expect to experience war.

But it isn't a grey area: it simply doesn't work. It doesn't matter if it correctly identifies most people: it has to correctly identity most terrorists, and it simply doesn't do that, because if you are a terrorist you just keep rotating through IP addresses on cloud providers and VPNs until the entire service is burnt. It isn't that it sometimes doesn't work: it's that it doesn't work at all when it actually needs to work. We could argue that the services shouldn't let you do that in the first place, but the reality is that services currently do work like that, no one is trying to change that, and if they did try to change it we would all be even less happy with the resulting even-more-powerful surveillance state.

The clothes dryer is a major culprit, as it turns fabric into lint especially when the fabric is mostly dry. The appropriate care for plastic clothing is to at least end the drying on a clothes horse or clothesline. The horse is a great way to get cotton relatively wrinkle free and not turn your favorite shirts into dryer lint. But it's a bit more labor-intensive to set up that drying, so it's unlikely to catch on.

> Some old processors had page fault handling in hardware. This sucked rocks, and
Linus yelled at the PowerPC guys somewhat extensively about this 20 years ago.

Wait, wasn't it the other way around? I might be mistaken but wasn't one of the problems with PowerPC that it only really had a TLB and the kernel had to walk the page tables in software?

Afaik on x86 the page fault handler is only called when a page isn't marked present, so that one can allocate a new page/load the page from mass storage, but apart from that walking the page tables is done in hardware.

Has been a while since I've only really dabbled in 32-bit protected mode a decade or so ago so I might be misremembering.
