Really weird non-sequiturs here!

So if you enjoy freedoms like ignoring your boss or zoning out during meetings where you should be paying attention, or missing a lecture by your instructor, and you believe there aren't any negative externalities from your failure to pay attention, then I don't know what to tell you.

Now the WFH revolution is already horrifying managers, because it is much more difficult to determine when employees are engaged and productive, vs. when they're trying to fake it, or tuned out. If this AI filter wants to remove one of those cues, that's going to continue horrifying businesses everywhere, and they'll double-down on RTO calls. I've also heard horror stories of hiring remote workers, who will fake interviews, rent their identities, deepfake their video, consult AI offscreen to answer interview questions, subcontract to their illegal buddies, and generally use every trick in the book to hoodwink corporations who make the mistake of not having an in-person relationship with their workforce.

My job coach taught me the value of eye contact, and by extension, the value of paying attention to another human being who is engaged in a discussion with me. That is extremely important. In any online interaction, due to reduced cues and limited feedback, any human cue we can maintain is a valuable one.

My lack of eye contact, I believe, is mostly because it can unnerve me to have someone looking intently at me, and I look away from them in order to collect my thoughts, and maintain my train of thought. It's a habit but it's not necessarily effective. It turns out that most of us can indeed carry on a conversation, and not get distracted, when we're looking into someone's eyes.

And the value to the other party is that they know that they have our attention! That is a gift! I have no idea how tasting boots is relevant here. Every job I've had, has been a mutual gift, and a pleasure to serve my employer, and I've always felt valued for that service, despite the unequal power differential.

It is so weird that you want us to "get with the times on AI" when eye contact is such a basic, very human, and valuable habit of successful people. If AI could facilitate a human connection, I'd be all ears, but in this case, for this article, AI is subverting the signal, encouraging laziness, and simply lying, to "save face", as it were.

At what point do we stop giving the benefit of the doubt that it's a "bug"?
Primary coolant loop runs at arbitrary temperature, there's never going to be a point that a nuke can't be cooled. It's only matter of designed capacity.
the link is 404ing, but i found the post in the author's github repo: https://github.com/Jamie-Chang/Jamie-Blog/blob/18c0aaf2266de...
No I hadn't seen that. Thanks for the link.
I just always meant to dabble more in a lisp style dialect and was curious what an emacs enthusiast enjoys. Clojure has been mentioned before and I’ve heard good things about Clojurescript. I never heard of Common Lisp for being close to the metal, more so that it was a bit memory heavy in those applications, but I’ll have to take another look. What’s NBB? Python is undeniably a workhorse for most applications and aside from Java probably the easiest to hire for.
This is going to be so nice for the 96 days between now and the next Presidential administration that will gut this regulation and probably even tell your gym that they can require the sacrifice of your first born to cancel your membership in the name of economic growth.
I was curious too; here's an HN link spelling it out and discussing in context of working there:

>Neither the Devil nor Adobe need an advocate

Civilization needs advocates against users being intentionally, misleadingly dense.

>That signup page you took a screen shot of is the current version

It is the version of the page that the FTC sued Adobe about. Adobe hasn't changed it.

Feel free to cite the complaint - https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/032-RedactedCom...

I'll help by posting a screenshot of the FTC's screenshot-

https://imgur.com/a/DQXYAN8

Page 8 from the complaint. Precisely the same disclaimers and selections.

Adobe has used this same format for three+ years. And no, the FTC filing a complaint -- responding to people doing the "woe am I...I am the victim for my carelessness" doesn't mean it has merit. Something got some congresspeople's to complaint to the FTC so they did something. And Adobe will probably just abolish discounting to make them go away.
Possibly a typo or false address given by someone else, and the. It’s in their system forever. I get things for some person who apparently fat fingers our somewhat close email addresses all the time.
That's kind of how I read it too, which makes some of the suppositions here (about the CCP inducing bad protocol design) odd.
My point is simple: if someone contributes, they accept the terms. Complaining about ‘free labor’ is irrelevant. The contributor chose to contribute; if they didn’t agree with the terms, they wouldn’t have. Nobody is asking for an uninvolved third-party to police the collaboration.

I'd also be careful attributing these actions to malice without further motive, when it very well could also be attributed to excitement i.r.t. sharing and collaborating on Winamp's source code in public, under a single-source.
That's not the argument. I stated it plainly upthread.
Physical switch is less prone to the whims of a capricious, resume-driven product owner who thinks their users may just want to get rid of airplane mode. Most are diving into firmware.
Personal anecdote: I got a lot more out of lisp that stuck with me than Haskell. Occasionally I say "oh this is a monad" or think about a type signature, but that's about it.
I've been a heavy user of Savitzky-Golay filters (linear time series, rectangular grid images, cubic space domains | first, second and third derivitives | balanced and unbalanced (returning central region smoothed values and values at edges)) since the 1980s.

The usual implementation is as a convolution filter based on the premise that the underlying data is regularly sampled.

The pain in the arse occassional reality is missing data and|or present but glitched|spiked data .. both of which require a "sensible infill" to continue with a convolution.

This is a nice implementation and a potentially useful bit of kit- the elephant in the room (from my PoV) is "how come the application domain is irregularly sampled data"?

Generally (engineering, geophysics, etc) great lengths are taken to clock data samples like a metronome (in time and|or space (as required most)).

I'm assuming that your gridded GeoTIFF data field is regularly sampled in both the X and Y axis?
Clean in this context means clean from clickbait headlines and presenting information more factually
> But don't expect Meta's largess to persist much beyond wiping out the competition

I don't quite follow your argument - what exactly is Meta competing for? It doesn't sell access to a hosted models and shows no interest of being involved in the cloud business. My guess is Meta is driven by enabling wider adoption of AI, and their bet is more (AI-generated) content is good for its existing content-hosting-and-ad-selling business, and good for it's aspirational Metaverse business too, should it pan out.
Update: the issue with following what was shown in the tutorial is now fixed. Now the Fill and Stroke nodes apply to the vector contents of group data, which was the problem. (We made Circular Repeat produce a group of vector shapes to properly preserve styling information like gradients, which was why it broke.)
There has to be some reverse channel to do an oracle. Timing? That might not be a thing for messaging. Signal apparently also uses CBC with the same type of padding. So the same shade could be thrown in that direction if someone really wanted to do so.

I would be happier if there were fewer vague assertions in these sorts of writeups...
> These should really be open source:

It's funny, when SwiftUI and Compose were coming out we waited a bit but jumped in as soon as we could. With Compose, our early versions required us to make builds of Android Studio on our own machines that supported it. But even then Compose felt more polished in a lot of ways - and if we ran into issues we could _see the code_ and make our own components with the changes we needed if necessary.

SwiftUI is great, really, but has so many rough edges, gotchas, and bugs. They do get fixed, but you're still supporting 4 year old versions of iOS without those fixes, so you're screwed.

Just completely boneheaded not to open source SwiftUI from the start, especially with how great the open source Swift community is.
> So where did all the awnings go? Two simple words... air conditioning.

I can't help but think this is too bad.

and also shade trees.

I see housing developments where the trees are all cut down, the houses go up, and... they plant trees.

I think of that saying: "A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they know they shall never sit."

and I would take it one step further...

Don't cut down the trees, build the houses around them! For shade, and beauty.
I am a machine learning engineer and I spend an average of three hours writing code.
In individual projects it is roughly four hours.
It is the napkin scale, not precise mission calculation. Doing 2 stages you can get faster, doing higher voltage you can get faster, etc. Slow down would of course take time and delta-v, changing observation station would also take them, etc. What interesting is that increasing Isp 10x seems to be doable with the today's/near-future tech, and that would even allow 1000 year mission to the closest star using 3 stages (unfortunately even my napkin breaks though when trying to stretch to the 100 years mission to the star using the today's/near-future tech).

The Era of HyperFunctional SaaS Is Here
In this episode of SaaStr, Jason Lemkin, the CEO and Founder of SaaStr, discusses the dawn of the hyper-functional SaaS era, where customer expectations for product performance are drastically increasing. Companies are now required to innovate rapidly and offer multi-functional solutions rather than single-product offerings. Lemkin highlights the necessity for B2B SaaS companies to integrate AI as a standard feature, emphasizing that AI has transitioned from a competitive advantage to an essential component. Moreover, economic uncertainties are causing sifting strategies, with businesses needing to justify their expenditures through efficiency and performance. The conversation also touches upon the challenges faced by startups in adapting quickly to market demands while leveraging AI and automation. Companies like Datadog and Monday are showcased as successful models navigating these dynamics, demonstrating the importance of user-friendly, integrated solutions. Overall, the episode conveys the urgency for SaaS providers to elevate their offerings amidst the shifting landscape of customer expectations and competitive pressures.
Yes, I understand that. I was just pointing out someone else publicly made this connection, several months prior.

Mike Acton said the same thing in an interview. He said curiosity is the best indicator if a candidate will be a good hire.

I'm not sure what part of Signal you're referring to, but the Signal Protocol generally uses AEAD constructions. That aside: the kind of padding is not the issue; every serious system that uses CBC uses PKCS7 padding. The issue is the lack of authenticated ciphertext, which is what enables the attack. The authenticated scheme composing CBC and HMAC in an EtM arrangement is not susceptible to padding oracle attacks. There are other error and behavior oracles for other padding schemes, and for different block cipher modes.

A Distant Planet May Host a Moon That's Spewing a Volcanic Cloud
It would require setting aside some amount in escrow to be used in proper asset sanitation in case of bankruptcy, or at least sanitation getting some priority in asset liquidation proceeds.
Presumably it means that two light rays that leave the same point on the planet simultaneously (but going in slightly different directions) arrive at the two telescope satellites simultaneously

The comment only advances two causes.

> Which is that it could be a launch daemon. It's very common for third party apps to use their imagination and do dumb things on startup.

Yes, that's possible, but unlikely to be an exhaustive list of reasons. Especially since in this case it's about browser tabs playing stuff before logging in, not about any weird third part apps.
Remarkable is very tinkerable[1]. I've had a lot of fun hacking mine! It could be better, but all in all, very good.

> Is there anything stopping you from putting 2+ satellites out "closer" but in the path of the lensed light

The Sun. Literally.

Satellites have to be that far for the Einstein ring to be bigger than the apparent size of the solar disk.

Edit: to make it a bit more clear, the gravitational lens does not quite behave like a normal lens. Instead, you see the light from _behind_ the object. So if you're too close to the lensing object so that the Einstein ring is not larger than it, you'll just see a part of the object to be a bit more bright.

Also, the gravitational lens does not actually _focus_ the image, it distorts it into a band around the lensing object.
Wipro, Infosys, TCS, Cognizant, and HCL. i.e. "large tech consulting companies" if you're feeling generous, "body shops" if you're not.
Yeah, but python services can work if they communicate by api with other services anyway.

In essence

solo dev: python is ok
Tight teams: python not ok
big corps where you literally can't even share code: python ok again.

This is almost the plot of Three Body Problem. Could we use a Solar Gravitational Lens in reverse and project signals out of the lens in reverse?
> Semi-NCA hadn't even been published yet and seems like the clear choice nowadays[.]

For those who are awkwardly lingering and casting longing glasses at the entrance door of compiler engineering like I am, and who were just as dismayed by this sentence, it wasn’t “properly” published but looks to have been described in a thesis from 2005[1] and in an extended abstract (ugh) before that[2].

But also, the reduction of RMQ to NCA, really?.. Ouch. I’m having flashbacks to my (very brief) competitive programming days, and not the good kind.

> The Supreme Court is explicitly not supposed to represent the will of the people.

The problem is, they have to, to a certain point. All government institutions ultimately derive their power from the willingness of the governed to live by their laws. Most decisions are minor enough and stacked with enough legalese that the average American doesn't care, but when you have more and more decisions that are as far out of right-field as the recent court has been making and corrupt justices making those decisions, it erodes the willingness of people to live under those decisions as time goes on.

> (shoehorning abortion rights into a right to privacy is a stretch).

I mean, only if you want the government telling twelve-year-olds that they'll need to push a baby out of a pelvis that is not yet wide enough to safely give birth.

The idea of "privacy" in this context is that generally speaking, it's not the government's business what you do with your body while knowingly and consensually under the care of a doctor. That is private for purposes of what the government can tell you to do. Maybe "confidentiality" would be a better term for the court to have used, but it's not a completely weird term.
Do you happen to have a link for a good manual on "how does one get into the modern UT2k4 multiplayer"? I.e. must-have modlist, servers, etc.
I _loved_ my Kindle Voyage for its adjusting backlight and glass display.

I wish it were less destructible! I upgraded to a Paperwhite (2021) when the Voyage's power button broke. Water resistance is nice, but having to get the "signature" edition for a light sensor and an easily scratched plastic display is quite disappointing.
I have used it in the last decade, quite a bit. I try it on the desktop every couple of years. My home server is Debian (too lazy to switch it to FreeBSD when it’s working Ok, I rarely modify it, and the way I use it I never have to mess with Systemd anyway), and nearly all the software I write at work targets Linux one way or another.

Also it’s on my Steamdeck, so I get a good dose of the usual jank any time I have to use the desktop mode for anything.
> also any profit margins sure are a "tax" in that comparison.

No? If your local government runs a surplus, that's sort-of equivalent to a profit (but not quite). Profits aren't equivalent to taxes. That's just silly.
Article is vague on the most critical point: Does this mean IPv6-only? (That's the plain meaning of "convert".)

Because for an entire nation to go IPv6-only is a huge step, and may force the hand of Big Tech at a "tipping point" that Dan Bernstein said may never come.

If everyone in Vietnam, and hopefully a few more nations, is eventually unable to reach IPv4-based servers, then hopefully that will spur adoption everywhere else! But to cut off service like that is nearly unthinkable here in the West. Could you imagine if Comcast just said "ok, we're terminating your IPv4 access now, glhf!"
The scenario you described is exactly how I host my sites now (Debian on DO).

I've seen numerous engineers advocate for letting the app crash (or at least gracefully shutting it down), capturing the error, and restarting. Errors crash the Node process by design after all. Perhaps it's not as prevalent as it used to be, but it was certainly considered acceptable and even desirable for a time to let the app crash and restart it with pm2, forever, etc. since an error could leave the app in an unknown state.

citizen has a config option for keeping the app running or exiting the process in the event of an error, so it's up to the dev.
How do you determine factually? Or do you filter out anything that isn't described as factual?

For example, you have

"Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says North Korea has become directly involved in the war, with a senior Ukrainian intelligence official saying around 3,000 North Korean troops are now in Russia, and are training for deployment to Russian-occupied territories. (Politico)"

which I have no clue if this is factual. How did you determine that it's factual?
I dislike advice of whitelisting specific readers by user-agent. Not only is this endless manual work that will only solve the problem for a subset of users but it also is easy to bypass by malicious actors. My recommendation would be to create a page rule that disables bot blocking for your feeds. This will fix the problem for all readers with no ongoing maintenance.

If you are worried about DoS attacks that may hammer on your feeds then you can use the same configuration rule to ignore the query string for cache keys (if your feed doesn't use query strings) and overriding the caching settings if your server doesn't set the proper headers. This way Cloudflare will cache your feed and you can serve any number of visitors without putting load onto your origin.

As for Cloudflare fixing the defaults, it seems unlikely to happen. It has been broken for years, Cloudflare's own blog is affected. They have been "actively working" on fixing it for at least 2 years according to their VP of product: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33675847
By this logic, sunshine is medication too, among many other things medical professionals recommend. Should be used as directed.

We have a pretty fundamental disagreement then on what we want from content we've purchased. If I'm buying it then I expect to have it forever. It really blows my mind to think that somebody wouldn't even be upset if some big corp suddenly stole all the content they've purchased over the years.
