They're basic for the user. I know a few people who left Mastodon for good after the second or third time they had to shift servers. That kind of stuff should have been thought of from the beginning...

> to update the old URLs except how does the new instance know where the old instance sent the status? And how do you prove that you have the right to even request the change?

The same way an account move is currently reported to the instances where followers reside and handled there - the account-move operation would only need to do a full re-scan of the old profile. That's a ton of traffic for people with followers from many instances, I agree, but the source instance could trigger the creation of something like a data dump that destination instances can download without hitting the API.
>?It would kill the utility of cars though, you could never drive faster than maybe 30 miles per hour or you would constantly run people over.

In NYC, the speed limit is 25 miles per hour. What's more, there are plans to reduce that to 20mph in a bunch of places.

Moral: Don't drive in NYC.
Mind boggling. Social programming runs deep.

190GB in the database. That didn't include media. I'm assuming the media part is not served from the same host since that can easily overshadow other traffic.
> the webcam would be a tough one to accept

To be honest I don't really notice it much. It just kind of blends in to the speaker bar along the top. What I do notice is the sound of the physical shutter opening if I open something which uses the camera (50/50 chance it's going to be FaceTime deliberately or PhotoBooth by accident) but visually I really don't notice it now.

> Dell has always put out great monitors

Yep, I remember years ago my first experience with a Dell monitor (around the time of the PPC/Intel transition) at work, and being quite impressed with the build quality and the stand in particular, a quality that remains to this day (at least on the HiDPI models like the P2415Q and this U3224KB; maybe the cheaper models are less sturdy? I don't know honestly)

> I'm even more hopeful for other options in the future

Like you I was skeptical about the webcam initially (I think I've used it about 3 or 4 times in the 15 months I've had it) and would have probably bought a model without it if they offered that.

It's nice to finally see more HiDPI options available (BenQ recently announced a new 27" 5K I believe), I just hope this isn't a recurring pattern with manufacturers, where they introduce it and then decide it's not worth it and drop it without a replacement, like the aforementioned P2415Q, the UP2715K, etc.
Exactly, "collective stupidity" is a good way to define the institutional stupidity... I will write more about the functional stupidity in organizations - thank you for the example.
Something like that happened to me on my first day as an adult in Germany. Wide road, Sunday afternoon, visibility over 1km in both directions, not a car in sight. I was accompanied by a girl from the place where I was to work. I had just met her and she was showing me to the nearby convenience store.

She suddenly started screaming when I crossed the street while the pedestrian light was red. I didn't get what the problem was so I crossed back, to much drama.

She (or her boyfriend) later told me there was a long-running campaign during the 90s aiming to curb pedestrian death, that featured vivid TV spots showing kids die because they routinely saw adults jaywalking and imitated them.

So jaywalking = killing children.

Also German children of all ages are encouraged to say to jaywalkers "You're not a good example for the children.". It happened to me more than once.
Thanks for mentioning Jon Klassen, I'll check it out. Our son absolutely loves busytown. We try to get most of our stuff second hand, the vast majority of books are terrible. And he knows. For at least 80 percent of the time, we are just re-reading busytown. And we have like 20 books or so that we might just as well get rid of.

Another one we really like is the Gruffalo, by Julia Donaldson. A classic, which is also really fun to read as an adult. I wish I know of more of these kinds of high quality children books.

Roald Dahl is another such writer who just doesn't care and writes what is fun for kids to read. I loved his books when I grew up. But its for a different age.
I think jaywalking being technically illegal allows law enforcement to use an expedient to arrest people they want to arrest for other reasons, for example, there is no law that would allow to arrest you for "walking while black", but crossing the street at an unauthorized point? Yeah that works

See a judge doing the right thing:

We don't need a society that relies only on judges doing the right thing. We need better laws
The problem is not how big is the car or any other subject.
The problem with any rule that is badly formulated is the ambiguity it creates. In this instance this bad definition can lead to very bad consequences.

Bad rules = ambiguous rules and need for interpretation and that leads to many bad consequences.
Basically it means that pedestrians are allowed to cross the road anywhere, anytime, but they still have to yield to car traffic except at pedestrian crossings without a semaphore or at the Walk signal. It's a very common-sense law.

> Lua gets onto every other Linux distro

Just FYI, there are UNIX-like, POSIX compatible systems that are not a Linux distro.

> rpm or pipewire depend on lua. Ubuntu and Debian ship with pipewire per default.

Pipewire? Do you mean this? https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/pipewire

That isn't even close to "installed on every system". Best I can tell from the reverse dependencies, it's required for some Gnome Remote Desktop tool, and best I can tell, it doesn't rely on Lua anyway (at least on Debian).

> You should use the word "objectively" less.

I specifically used the word objectively, because the original comment that I replied to, said this:

I wonder the tipping point for that status for the scythe occured historically. They are fairly difficult tools to manufacture, as far as hand tools go. And it wasn't that long ago, in the history of the tool, that a patent led to a single small site (by modern standards) exporting riveted English scythes all around the world.

Langtail 1.0 – Spreadsheet-like interface for testing LLM apps

Yes, this is indeed a different situation and my comment doesn't make that clear. Thank for pointing that out. I've made an edit.
Good to see someone with an actual plan to roll out affordable EVs. Too bad it's BYD, the knock-on effects on Tesla and VW Group will not be pretty. I mean, unless the US and EU tariff the hell out of imports. Australia doesn't care, since they don't car makers anymore after Holden's demise (right?).
The entire US legal system works by analogy.

I don't know if it would work on Sony TVs but a while ago I switched to Projectivy launcher on a Philips android tv and I am quite happy with it

Alternatively you can reset your TV to factory settings and then disable auto updates for TV and google play. You will probably want to check google play from time to time and manually update the apps you are using though (just don't update things like "home screen" or whatever that will put ads backs). I was doing that but I was not comfortable leaving my TV unupdated
> You may want to look at the Samsung 5K monitor.

Which Samsung are you talking about? We got some new screens at work, Samsung S9 something or other. 27", 5K, thunderbolt 4. As you say, the text is very sharp, and colors seem fine enough. But that's about it, and I would not recommend them at all.

The worst issue is that the viewing angles are ridiculously bad. I'm sitting at arm's length, and the borders are very dark and somewhat blurry. They're of course OK if I move and look at them straight on, but my 32", fairly old LG doesn't have this problem.

Another pain point is the fact that it cuts off the power supply and the USB peripherals plugged in when it goes to sleep. I couldn't figure any way of disabling this behavior. But if you leave your PC running and expecting to connect to it over a USB network adaptor or similar, you're gonna have a bad time.

>Did you read the article? Pedestrians can always cross but they then don't have the right of way and have to yield to traffic. Basically everyone can keep doing what they've been doing all along but police can no longer arrest them for it through selective enforcement.

As a lifelong New Yorker, I can tell you that arrest is never an option for any violation of the city's administrative code. Rather it's a fine.

And as you alluded to, black and brown people were the vast majority of those fined under the jaywalking regulation.

As a cis white guy, I didn't even know that jaywalking was 'illegal' in NYC until folks started talking about 'legalizing' it a few years ago.

As I mentioned, I've lived here pretty much all my life and have 'jaywalked' in front of police hundreds if not thousands of times and none have ever even looked at me funny.

So yes, this is a very good thing. Just one very, very small step on the road to 'a more perfect union', IMHO.
The best source for the price is what the ex-CEO said in January 2021:

So I think the $150k is a good estimate.

Oddly , i think the media has not caught upon how much it is used. Most journalists and youtubers present trivial use cases. I ve found that the most unlikely people use it for all kinds of purposes. In most cases, they don't even want their bosses to know that they use the tools because they give them superpowers. I 'm talking about bank employees, store managers, local politicians, small business people etc.

I also used to be in disbelief, but i'm seeing more and more unexpected people use LLMs , and they even figure out how to prompt them right.
Besides the standard tricks to speed up the running time like threads and mmap, the biggest speed up is to use a custom hash table that is tuned for the data. I have implemented 5 different versions of hash tables including the Swiss hash table and more recent researched ones. None of them beats a simple linear probing approach. It’s because there’re so few keys, only couple hundreds of them. Tuning a custom hashing function to minimize key collision helps more than anything.

There are also lots of SIMD operations, which Zig has great support in the form of vector programming.

The only thing novel I did was to line up the temperature data from the back instead of from the front for the SIMD operations. That is for temperatures 12.3, 4.5, 67.8, 0.1, I line them up by the last digit after the decimal before packing them into a SIMD register. That way I know their exact positions in the register.
Holden was GM for quite some time anyway, Australia ceased having an independent car manufacturer a very long time ago.

But Australia allow large international companies to steal all their gas at essentially 0% resource tax so it's not like they'll ever do anything to ensure their independence.

Fully agree.

Even though the children's books lack nuance. There are no problems with pollution and climate change in Scarry's world. There are no jobs that people do not like to do. Malice and greed is very limited, sickness never really frightening.

But still, the overall vision of goodness from the perspective of a child's innocence is valid and accurate. Adults at some point either just give up or mechanically hold on to dystopic beliefs because they feel it is part of their identity.

But it might just be a lack of imagination. Which is why hope and change always come from new generations, and the best elders can do is gently support them and step out of their way.

> [The S-band] uses a different frequency than the X-band transmitters signal is significantly fainter. The flight team was not certain the S-band could be detected at Earth due to the spacecraft’s distance, but [it turned out to work]

This is the most fascinating part to me. Isn't it well-established how sensitive a signal we can hear? Did they implement something like a new signal analysis method that enabled it?

And it says this wasn't used or even tried since the 80s anymore, I guess it grew too faint. Looking up the frequencies, X is 8–12 GHz and S is 2–4. Doesn't that mean X gets more data across at the same redundancy level? Why have this slower transmitter at all for only the first years, power conservation despite the fresh RTG?

> I am not compelled to look to my right as I am timing my turn because I am not expecting traffic to be there since a right turn has you crossing zero lanes of traffic and merging with on-coning that would be on your left.

Except you may have just passed a cyclist without leaving enough time to turn because you barely registered their presence and are now going to cut them off. Or you stopped at an intersection and they approached on the right because that is where they are supposed to stay by law and you didn't check your blind spot before you started. The first situation can happen with cars where you pass a slow moving car just before an intersection and immediately slow down to turn right, merging back into the lane and cutting off the car. If you have driven any amount of time at all, I am sure you have seen that annoying scenario. The second situation doesn't typically happen with cars because of how right turn lanes are constructed but can (unlawfully) occur when someone (typically a tourist) was in the straight going lane but realized they wanted or needed to turn right.

Dedicated bicycle lanes are meant to make it clear that you are indeed crossing traffic when you turn right because bicycles as slow moving traffic are intended to stay in that area as an exceptional case.
Obligationism – The meaning of life is irrelevant
Implicit sync worked by design. There were years of discussions whether it's a good idea to rely on it and how exactly explicit sync would actually look like, with protocols such as zwp_linux_explicit_synchronization_v1 (eventually deprecated) being worked on almost a decade ago already, but it's definitely not an "accident". Explicit sync offers several advantages, but implicit sync is how DRM was designed and what Wayland consciously relied on, and what Nvidia disregarded because it would be rather challenging to implement it in their driver.

The ecosystem slowly moves towards explicit sync now, but Nvidia was supposed to provide a driver already before that was happening and they didn't comply with platform's requirements at date, resulting in user-facing issues. With this one, they just got lucky that the consensus happens to move towards what they had already asserted.
That's irrelevant - your assertion was that a change that changes semantics by preventing stack overflow cannot be called an optimization. The commenter showed that is false, and gave reasons why.

> This is just a silly plan grounded in the idea that we need to somehow punish those evil billionaires.

Or perhaps it's just a rather sensible plan grounded in the idea that billionaires also need to pay their fair share.

Talk like "silly", "punish", and "evil" seems rather inflammatory. Makes those who use it come off as shills.

> We can’t (and won’t) tax unrealized gains when there is no intent on selling.

When those "unrealized gains" look, walk, and quack in effect exactly like realizing the gains of a sale, then it seems the actual intent -- being able to benefit financially from those gains -- has been realized, whether in the form of an actual old-fashioned sale or not.

Doing it the fancy way, so as to effectively realize the same benefit, but not having to ever pay taxes because you're not calling it "a sale" is the very definition of a loophole. Why are you in favour of loopholes for billionaires?
> An anecdote is one piece of data

It is not documented, so no, it is not. Which is why I questioned if it was entirely based on self assessment or not and left the door open either way as the question was based out of curiosity and if his anecdote was public I wanted the answer to be as well. Is that not fair?

When you properly document them it literally stops being an anecdote and then becomes evidence.

> The researchers also tested semaglutide in rats that were made dependent on alcohol through long-term exposure to alcohol vapor.

So.. what are we actually measuring then? Isn't alcoholism a disease and not some acquired exposure based dependency? The idea that "GLP-1 for Everything" is even floated in this way is unusual in and of itself. I'm uncomfortable with all this and am once again annoyed at the way we use rats in research.
Hard-coded yearly transitions for a particular region, because they just have to have their own, special rules? Transitioning to DST on Sunday at -01:00 (minus one o'clock)? Or at 24:00?

The last info from early 2021 is that it costs no more than a moderately-equipped Mercedes S-Class (so around $150k?). Good chance that the next car will be under $100k and $50k is possible in the long term.
