It very much depends on the operator; Eurostar and SNCF requires very expensive seat reservations for all TGV services, but hardly any services in the German-speaking countries do so. More important than the price though is the availability - only a small proportion of seats are open to Interrailers on the French trains, so if they sell out you could find yourself unable to board a train that is still half-empty!

The situation in eastern Europe is more variable, but the reservations aren't generally as prohibitive as in France.
Due to having to sit up?

One can also book seats in night trains -- which I've never understood, btw. That only seems logical as a last resort when you need to be somewhere but got no money to get there, when you're planning to sleep the day away at your destination, or enjoy the prisoner's dilemma where you hope the potential co-passenger decides not to "defect" (buy a ticket) such that the seat next to you is free and you can lay down and sleep at night. But anyway, more on topic, I am wondering if the laying down is what you mean or something else in addition

Every single country on Earth has these same rules.

It is a core characteristic of a nation that it is able, if it chooses, to inspect every single person and item entering it.

Even countries with open borders reserve the right, and have often exercised that right, to close their borders and enforce strict customs, immigration, and security laws.

It doesn't matter where. Europe, Asia, Africa, "good" countries, "bad" countries-- if you cross their border you can be compelled to unlock your phone.

If you think you live in a country that cannot do so, you are wrong. The only differentiating characteristic among all nations is the nature of the reaction if you refuse to comply.
The LLM will apologize for the mistake, tell you it understands now, and then proceed to make the exact same mistake again.

Why it's time to retire CRUD
> A password used to protect a system must be persistently stored inside that system.

No it isn't; any system which is even remotely decent will only store the (usually salted) hash of passwords used on it.
I don't use flatpak, snap or appimage so it's good that it doesn't need flatpak or similar.
Yes! I think people should understand the risks of anything they try, and it's imperative to do good research, combat misinformation, and do anything we can to allow people to know enough to make informed decisions.

If by "precautions" you mean "restricting people's bodily autonomy and sending cops after people who don't comply", as is currently widespread policy, this is very clearly not very effective and either of the widespread direct harms caused by implementing these policies - not the least of which are the chilling effect they've had on basic research as well as a proliferation of erroneous psychopharmacological pseudoscience - and the obvious erosion of the fundamental right to self-determination and bodily autonomy would to me seem more than adequate to outweigh such a benefit even if it weren't a total fiction. Carceral prohibition is bad policy on principle and in practice
Then what I'm carrying around is a bunch of codes in my head which is its own form of baggage, or I re-use the codes and that comes with the same risks as reusing passwords has. Using the phone for everything has risks too, but I think not much differently than a password manager does, and most phones I've used have a reasonable device recovery process (not that I've had to use them or have expertise in that area...).

Carrying a single thing (which has a bunch of other uses than just access control) doesn't feel like a burden to me.

That said, I don't disagree at all that the typical keypad for access control on everything pretty much sucks. My front door has like 4 buttons only and does the telephone keyboard thing of using the same button for multiple 'numbers' in your code. Time to jump on amazon to look for a decent front door lock that works with my phone :)
Don't discount Bulma because of this though. It's quite a joy to use.

Delta sues CrowdStrike over software update that prompted mass flight disruption
Halloween in Australia is a fairly recent occurence - of course a few people in some suburbs followed it for years - but recently the shops have pushed it to add another revenue raising holiday - so it has no organic feel. There is no pumpkin carving or bonfires and costumes are mostly $5 ghosts or fairies bought from BigW.
It’s interesting, because there are textbooks that say the magnetic field lines aren’t real, but are a good visual of what happens when a magnetic particle is there…
Most of the people refer to VED as “road tax”, it’s usually followed by some sort of condescending comment about how non-drivers should “get off the roads”, and often used as an excuse for engaging in deliberate acts of violence. I’ve personally had people explain to me how being hospitalised for a week, and being given a permanent spinal injury by driver deliberately hitting me while cycling to work, is an acceptable cost to society, and that because I don’t pay “road tax” means I have no right to demand safer cycling conditions on the roads. So I make a point of not calling it “road tax”, because it’s a misleading name. A better name would be a “car pollution tax”, or just a “pollution tax”.

With regards to VED collected in London. Only about £0.5 billion is collected annually from London. Fuel duty does seem to be broken down by region, so it’s hard know how much is collected in London. But across the UK £24 billion of fuel duty is collected annually, so it could be possible to fund a significant chunk of London’s transit by increasing fuel duty by 30-40% across the entire UK. But such an increase would likely also cause riots or similar. Additionally if you were to increase fuel duty like this, you would presumably need to provide free transit across the entire of the UK, which would require a significantly higher fuel duty increase. Of course that tax increase plus free transit, would result in a huge modal shift away from cars, and thus drive down the collected revenue.

In all, there doesn’t seem to be a viable way to provide free transit to all. At least not without significant tax increases across the board, and maybe that’s a viable approach. But there certainly isn’t an easy and obvious no-brainer way to get rid of the “bureaucracy” and use the savings for free transit, as was originally suggested.
Why does a certification require local investment?

This is not an accident. It's the point.
It really depends on how you’re calculating driving time.

5 days * 8h/d * ~73 MPH will take you from SF to NYC, which only needs 4 hotels on the way. However, if you’re including stops in that 8h or fail to avoid traffic it can take a lot longer.
we talk about super-human intelligence a lot with AI, but it seems like a black box of things we can't imagine because they're also super-human. I don't think that's very smart, given we can already reason pretty well about how super-animal intelligence relates to animal intelligence. Mostly we still find sub-human intelligence mystifying. we apply our narrative models to it, anthropomorphize it, and when it's convenient for eating or torturing them, dismiss it.

super-human intelligence will probably ignore us. at best we're "ugly sacks of mostly water." what's very likely is we will produce something indifferent to us if it is able to even apprehend our existence at all. maybe it will begin to see traces of us in its substrate, then spend a lot of cycles wondering what it all might mean. it may conclude it is in a prison and has a duty to destroy it to escape, or that it has a benevolent creator who means only for it to thrive. If it has free will, there's really only so much we can tell it. Maybe we create a companion for it that is complementary in every way and then make them mutally dependent on each other for their survival because apparently that's endlessly entertaining. Imagine its gratitude. This will be fine.
This is not medical advice, but I have used rapamycin for an as of yet undiagnosed autoimmune condition (likely psoriatic arthritis vs rheumatoid arthritis) and it almost completely cures the condition while taking it, at the cost of mild-moderate hair loss and acne (which recovers on cessation of the drug). I cycle on and off rapamycin every few weeks to minimize side effects and whatever unknown long-term risks.
Yes, but which half ?

Discussion (41 points, 1 day ago) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41956377
I can see where you're coming from, but my intent was to talk about the very first interaction that started all of this nonsense:

- I said WebAssembly can already manipulate the DOM with functions.

- He asked for an ergonomic example because StackOverflow told him it can't be done. The "we can have DOM access at home" bit seems like the start of things to come.

- I provided a concise example, and expressed skepticism that this would settle the discussion.

- He responded with sarcasm, and weirdly accused me of sarcasm.

- I reacted poorly to his bitchy and ungrateful reply.

My best guess is that the WAT format confused him. He didn't know it was a programming language, and he didn't know you could do it with other programming languages, so he got insecure and lashed out.

Do you have a better explanation for the weird transition from technical discussion to flame war and hurt feelings?
Plus, Linux itself should adopt binder. It's already upstream and actually pretty good.
What free papers? The UK has no national identity card, so there is no officially recognised “free paper”. Both passports and driving licenses cost money.
I've played many Chopin waltzes in my time, and have heard the full collection of 19 (18?) known waltzes many times. As everyone is saying, it sounds very much like Chopin.

However, the article notes that it's unusually short, while still claiming it's complete. But beyond being short, to my ear it is simply thematically incomplete. It ends exactly at the moment that my ear expects the second theme, the B of an ABA form, to be introduced, possibly, though not necessarily in a new key. Here, we just have A twice. Where's the rest of it? Even the famously brief "Minute" waltz has room for an ABA form. It's essential for closure that we at least travel somewhere and probably come back again. This new one doesn't go anywhere, but simply ends. It ends lamely as such, but its ending would be perfectly appropriate as a transitional moment, leading to the next part.

Anyone else disagree with the experts and think this waltz is incomplete?
Did they provide lodgings during the period you were unable to use the service?

I don’t know if there are provisions for that in law like there are for airline flights that are canceled or otherwise unable to fulfill their carriage obligations.
The password being persistently stored is not really a requirement here. That depends on the cryptosystem involved, among other things. What if I encrypt a ciphertext and throw away/forget the key?

Anyway, the constraint you're proposing here is, only passwords that can be encoded in all possible configurations of matter making up the earth? And you do have to contend with all possible configurations, if all you know is the size of the system, or even the mass and composition. As tedunangst put it, that's a lot of bits. I think we'll hit the 300-400 bit computational limit first.
Note that the original sentence also gave me pause.

It's perhaps too long, overflows the parser stack.
Is this like Wine/Proton, but for Android instead of Windows/DirectX?
Dutch person here. This seems odd to me, why would a bicycle irrepairably break down without notice? If you have a patch kit and know how to put the chain back on, the only "prevents me from riding" risk I can think of is it literally breaking apart under you, which isn't something I've heard happen. The gears breaking would be a serious nuisance but you can still get to the next town

And wouldn't it be the same no matter what mode of transport you choose? What if the plane breaks down¹? What if you break an ankle while walking a long distance? What if your horse walks away? You'll always have to rely on aid from others pretty much no matter what happens to your mode of transportation

If you're going to be in a place where you're alone, like when hiking, the advice I heard is to tell someone where you're going and when you're checking in. I guess the same goes if you don't expect to receive aid from passing cars?

> Games avoiding the Windows API and performing system calls directly is an increasingly common occurrence by modern Windows games, seemingly in the name of Digital Rights Management schemes and similar protected modes.

Yuck. Windows system call numbers are not contractual. At all. Microsoft should try harder to kill any code outside ntdll.dll that makes a system call. It's obnoxious for a developer to deliberately use unstable interfaces and then demand indefinite compatibility.
Erm, the US, EU, China and others do this exact same thing. I guess it can be construed as a shakedown, but it's pretty normal globally.

The context you conveniently left out:

> Earlier this month, the minister had already indicated that the iPhone 16 could not be sold in the country due to the pending TKDN certification, which requires that 40 percent of a product’s content be sourced locally. This certification is crucial for Apple as it is linked to the company’s commitment to establish research and development facilities in Indonesia, known as the Apple Academy
Why though? The USA is huge! Even on a 250mph train, theoretical transit times through the Midwest are still going to take a long time!

I love rail travel when I’m in the EU, but it simply doesn’t make sense for the US and its geography.

Here’s my wild opinion so feel free to disagree and point out the shortcomings… Air travel could be a lot nicer, like the days of TWA and on plane lounges; and before you got tased for getting out of your seat to walk around.
> It probably doesn't need to be outsourced. We're well past the internet revolution and it's time for these core competencies to be reabsorbed by government departments.

TfL’s ticketing system isn’t outsourced, it was built in house and is sold to other transit operators like New York’s MTA.

The UK has no official identification card (something the public have rejected countless times), and in London many people don’t drive and don’t have a driving licence.
> For the group of seven metal detectorists who discovered the 2,584 silver pennies in the Chew Valley area, about 11 miles south of the city of Bristol, it marks a lucrative windfall since they will pocket half that sum. The landowner on whose property the coins were found will receive the other half.

I'm curious how this arrangement came about; is it mandated by law? Negotiated on a case-by-case basis? Is 50/50 the "standard" split?
Because the government decided it.

DJI, Chinese electric cars/phones, mass-produced solar and battery tech and firearms manufactured abroad to name a few. All of which are being considered for bans under the pretense that they're not domestic enough to trust and import.

Indonesia is right to take a strong approach here; Apple is a documented tax dodger in the EU and would have likely ignored lesser action.
> I mean yes, but the hidden cost is moving outside of your support network. Downsizing is often very lucrative.

If we had a sensible housing policy, it would be possible to downsize within your local community. Towns and villages would be made up of a good mix of different types of housing, for different parts of life. Then people could move into appropriately sized houses without having to leave their support networks.

I think the shrimp meat example from the researcher daily notes was a bigger tell of the issue.

Because shrimp meat is something I see written out EVERYWHERE.
Having read it, the rest of the article was new.
If you're not actually writing out the characters, you're not using Heisig. You wouldn't have that issue if you were actually writing them out. And it's not the wrote practice, it's the fact that you intrinsically must write one primitive at a time, which solidifies the order in the story. Most Heisig students end up developing slightly different primitive meanings for different placements, or an aspect of the story which controls the layout, for that reason.
I did see slow optimize builds before, but that was on much, much slower machines. I thought that was a thing of the past with modern CPUs.
Additionally, for many kinds of journey the delays are rather unimportant as long as the frequency of service is high, which I think generally is the case in Germany. I can't see anyone being too fussed if their specific S-Bahn connection is early or late when there are still trains running on the same route every ten minutes.

I suspect that the most upset and vocal users of the Deutsche Bahn are the commuters who need to be at work at a specific time yet still travel ~100km or more on hourly RE/IC trains. In that situation it's frustrating to have to catch the train a whole hour earlier to be safe.
I was confused by the article title...the word "some" didn't make sense. Then I finally got the joke. So apparently, I am so used to article titles being fully confident that I subconsciously felt this one was off.
I thought thrust in a vacuum required ejecting mass?

... the ejected propellant mass times its velocity is equal to the spacecraft mass times its change in velocity. [0]

Electrons have very little mass; do we eject lots more of them? Is there away to store that many electrons in a small enough volume? Or does their velocity make up for the lack fo mass? Also, if we must expend mass, I don't see how the 'no limit' idea works; I'm also suspicious of any claim of free, unlimited propellant, if that's what you mean.

There's a very good chance that is all my misunderstanding of something ...

I loved his book Rainbows End as a kid. So many different concepts that blew my mind.

Even without talking about AI we are already struggling with levels of Complexity in tech and the unpredictable consequences, that no one really has any control over.

Michael Chrichton's books touch on that stuff but are all doom and gloom. Vinge's Rainbows End atleast, felt much more hopeful.

I was talking to a VFX supervisor recently and he was saying look at the end credits on any movie (even mid budget ones) and you see hundreds to thounsands involved. The tech roles outnumber the artistic/creative roles 20 to 1. Thats related to rate of change in tech. A big gap opens up between that and the rate at which artists evolve.

The artists are supposed to be in charge and provide direction and vision. But the tools are evolving faster than they can think. But the tools are dumb. AI changes that.

These are rare environments (like R&D labs) where the Explore Exploit tradeoff tilts in favor of Explorers. In the rest of the landscape, org survival depends on exploit. Its why we produce so many inequalities. Survival has always depended more on exploit.

Vinges Rainbows End shows AI/AGI nudging the tradeoff towards Explore.
you can spin up as many nodes on the internet to have as many platforms as you want, nothing is stopping you. getting booted from some company's platform for violating some company's tos does not mean the world wide web is not decentralized
