13 years driving so far. Only time I've had to adjust mirrors while driving is if I am in a car I haven't driven before and I didn't adjust them before departing.

You are complaining about having to look over at a screen however taking several seconds to look evem further from the front of the car while adjusting a mirror isn't an issue regardless of the controls?
Does anyone have any thoughts besides "bad engineering" on what could've gone wrong? It seems like taking on a new endeavor like streaming an event that would possibly draw many hundreds of millions of viewers doesn't make sense. Is there any obvious way that this would just work, or is there obviously a huge mistake deeply rooted in the whole thing. Also, are there any educated guesses on some fine details in the codebase and patterns that could result in this?
If you mean “uses bin/python to run Python code it wrote” then that’s a bit different to “recognises chess moves and feeds them to Stockfish.”

If a human said they could code, you don’t expect them to somehow turn into a Python interpreter and execute it in their brain. If a human said they could play chess, I’d raise an eyebrow if they just played the moves Stockfish gave them against me.
It looks like age with SSH keys uses a birationally equivalent keypair.

If you're using, for example, libsodium, you'd want the Ed25519 to X25519 functions to convert the two. (Note that you need to operate over raw bytes to do this.)

In practice, you shouldn't do this. Use different keys for different purposes!
My performance falls to zero when someone(less familiar) is watching my screen, unless it is a colleague doing pair-programming.

Also random manager, “dude!! How do you even read those texts? So tiny” when passing by behind me. (I use “More Space” resolution on macbook as I prefer to have many things on single screen instead of constantly becoming a bobbing head looking at much neglected monitors on my desk).
>Normal OCR models are terrible at it, LLMs do far better. Gemini Flash came out on top from the models I tested and it wasn't even close.

For Normal models, the state of Open Source OCR is pretty terrible. Unfortunately, the closed options from Microsoft, Google etc are much better. Did you try those ?

Interesting about Flash, what LLMs did you test ?

Your job must be truly awful.
I sadly am inclined to agree a bit about the Linux desktop stuff, I've been trying to get a nice simple XFCE linux desktop on a used thinkpad I recently picked up, so far tried Debian and Mint and they both have some issues with the keyboard mute button (it flickers on/off rapidly when I press it the first time, and the keyboard doesn't respond to input until I press the mute toggle again). There's other stuff like just weird quirks, like you can't have a key command like Super-R and then also a key command of just Super, because when you try to press Super-R it just instantly triggers the key command you assigned to just Super! Like, while I'm still holding it down! Is it not a modifier?! Or then there's something unmuting my speakers and mic every time the machine wakes from sleep/lock, and I think it's due to wireplumber, but Debian stable's wireplumber version is literally a year old (wtf?), so I can't find documentation on how I can alter this default behaviour (especially because this version of wireplumber uses lua for configuration? also wtf?) … No clue. (Also why does so much Linux software lack man pages?) … haha, that went on a tangent but it's been a surprisingly frustrating experience!

Mmm. Bluesky is the tits, for sure, but Trump has unfinished business. This is from 2020:

https://www.cfr.org/in-brief/trump-and-section-230-what-know

We can assume that Twitter was a vocal opponent to the repeal at the time and that they have now become somewhat more in favour if it means knocking out their competition whilst they enjoy special protection.

All it would take is some catalytic content to kick things off and a compliant state judiciary to get the ball rolling.

Bluesky's Terms Of Service explicitly state that they are not liable for the impacts of their user's content. They say they reserve the right to delete content or accounts at any time at their discretion. And then there's this:

Indemnity: Summary: If someone brings a legal claim against us based on your actions on Bluesky Social, you are responsible for our defense in, and the consequences of, that claim.

It all looks bulletproof on the surface but I just don't know if it will survive under Trump/Musk.

> We’ve begun by enabling hardened libc++, which adds bounds checking to standard C++ data structures, eliminating a significant class of spatial safety bugs.

Well, it's 2024 and remember arguing this 20+ years ago. Programs have bugs that bounds checking catches. And making it a language built-in exposes it to compiler optimizations specifically targeting bounds checks, eliminating many and bringing the dynamic cost down immensely. Just turning them on in libraries doesn't necessarily expose all the compiler optimizations, but it's a start. Safety checks should really be built into the language.
Wow - that's such a sad interview. Thanks for sharing.

Maybe a client issue, but i've got a low-end smart tv which handles netflix fine, but youtube is unwatchable due to buffering and failed cuts to adverts
Usually, I have become good at pretending that no one is watching. Given my seniority, I explain to the people watching that, I will first prepare something, they are free to watch, I will also write comments so they know what am thinking(unfortunately, I can’t talk and type or draw at the same time), and then I will explain. Or if they prefer, I explain and do the coding/drawing after in bursts of explain-do-explain-do.

Of course, silicon valley has taught that people who can speak and code at the same time are like best things, but if a team is not happy to accept other people’s shortcomings, am probably fine not working with them.
I'm surprised you're getting downvoted. You're absolutely right -- the expectation less fees from holding a stock a short period is equal to the risk-free interest rate.

Over longer horizons it gets more complicated because compounding, but it's not obviously in favour of the speculator, even though it has historically turned out that way.
Quick news is usually poor-quality news, and "life updates from people you follow" is another way of saying "pointless trivia from people you don't know actually know".
Almost everyone I know manager or not is usually ranking everyone they work with on various attributes.

In fact it would be incredibly weird to ask a close friend who at their work kicks ass and who sucks and have them respond back, "I've never really thought about how good any of my coworkers were at their jobs"

If you're on Postgres, StringAgg and ArrayAgg are nice alternatives to prefetch_related to avoid building Python model instances and waste memory.

I wrote a short blog post on recent optimizations we did on our Django codebase: https://tmarice.dev/blog/better-living-through-optimized-dja...
I'm going to avoid leaving a zero-effort response like "actually you're the problem" like half of the replies and contribute:

Why do you call your engineers morons? Is it a lack of intelligence, a lack of wisdom, a lack of experience, inability to meet deadlines, reading comprehension, or something else?

I wonder if Netflix is just hiring for different criteria (e.g. you want people who will make thoughtful decisions while they want people who have memorized all the leetcode problems).

I don’t think this is nearly as difficult as you are implying. All it would take is for a social network to require some kind of verified ID that is renewed on a regular basis. You might even need to verify this ID in person, physically. This might seem excessive today, but if the internet becomes unusable due to excessive AI content, it’s not that big of a deal. The infrastructure is practically already here via banking and government apps.

The alternative is that everyone just accepts the internet as a place where you can’t tell if anyone is real. I don’t think that will be a happy state of affairs for anyone.

Even if this isn’t a “required” thing, it will become a desired one by consumers. Who would you rather follow - the verified Taylor Swift account, or the unverified one? Non-verified creators will be relegated to niches where it doesn’t matter as much if they’re real or not.

Then you might say - but a person can just use AI tools and paste them into their verified account. Which is fine - I’m not saying that people aren’t going to use these tools to create content. I’m saying that these tools aren’t going to eliminate the possibility of an individual person creating content on the Internet as a human being, and being verified as such.

Live streaming and streaming prerecorded movies is a whole different ballgame.

In fact, optimizing for later can hurt the former.

I think that's another issue; there is no viable way to migrate social media data as if it were possible it would be abused mostly.
Not quite arbitrage; sometimes bookies adjust prices depending on how bettors are placing their bets to avoid over exposure, etc. When this happens the price is no longer reflective of the estimated probability and that's where our savvy players come in to try and take advantage of that..

The solution is not incorporating photovoltaic cells into living plants.

The most efficient way of making food and other complex organic molecules is to make artificial devices that would use solar panels and which would use the energy to capture both carbon dioxide and nitrogen from the air (possibly also water from the air humidity) and which would make ammonia and some very simple organic molecule.

Whatever is produced with solar energy, could be used as food for some genetically modified fungi or other similar organisms (e.g. genetically modified parasitic plants). These genetically modified living organisms would perform all the complex enzymatic syntheses required to make food suitable for humans or any other complex organic substances of interest. Some time in the future it should become possible to create a fungus (or a parasitic plant) capable of growing not only mushrooms, but also bananas, wheat grains, chicken eggs, turkey thighs or whatever else one could want to harvest from such a culture.

So the coupling between solar panels and some culture of living beings should be external, through food.

This has the advantage that the surface would be occupied only by the solar panels and the associated chemical reactors that would store the solar energy into simple organic molecules and ammonia (possibly combined in a simple amino-acid like glycine), while making food could be done e.g. in underground facilities and only when needed and producing only whatever is in demand at a given time.
Which would be doubly silly as peanuts aren't actually nuts.
I think an important aspect that's kinda faded away here is the visceral detail of the zombies, which were unusual at the time, mixed with the fact that you need to utilize the physics engine to get around, which created a unique kind of "panic" since at a glance there often seemed like there was no escape from certain circumstances.

If you want a similar feeling from a more modern game I recommend trying Prey (the new one). Terrible name that doesn't fit the title imo, but playing it felt similar to when I first played half life years ago, more than any other game I've played since then at least (except Half Life: Alyx).
There's no up. There's just punching, and making excuses for punching.
Again, not really. News can just be links to articles, or just headlines. The quickness of the news conveyed has no bearing on its quality. And life updates can be similar, for example a creator is making a new library I'd want to use, or updates an existing library I currently use, it's useful to know that information. If that's how you feel about updates from people then I honestly don't know what to tell you.

Can’t speak for every place but that’s not always an option. As a teenager, I worked at Sports Direct where the management would regularly work us after our allotted hours and bar us putting the extra time onto our timesheet. If I recall correctly, the company eventually got pulled for it but the money they’d have saved over years would have outweighed the fine.

The timesheets were on paper so good luck putting your real hours on without your manager, who files it, finding out.

I’d be amazed if they ever cleaned up their act.

If I understand what you mean, it's supported everywhere that has windowing at all afaik.

If you mean filtering the rows in the window, you can do 'sum(case when condition then value else null end) over (window)'; if you mean selecting rows based on the value of a window function you use 'qualify' where supported or a trivial subquery or CTE and 'where' (which qualify is just shorthand for)

I was wondering - if I was to use 2 high resolution (4Mpix each) screens (lvds or mipi), create "Li-fi" like transceiver 20+ Mbps and have ability to decode at 60+ FPS video streams - is there a single simple SoC that could handle this? Or still need FPGA?

Possibly there's some novelty factor to riding the new trains. My 70-something year old aunt, visiting from another continent, wanted to ride the new trains (and they weren't even fully converted yet, it was day 2 of the soft launch and only a couple trains had been switched over so I had to
check the train sightings on Discord). Obviously they're not all that unique outside the US but it's exciting to see them here.

But weekend service is now twice as frequent (now every 30 minutes) which is a game changer, so it's not a surprise that those numbers in particular have shot up since they were pretty weak to begin with.
I would suggest you take a look at https://go.dev/solutions/case-studies Whether or not Google’s backing is part of the equation, Go’s success in the real world speaks for itself.
No, not arbitrage. The "insight" was that the odds offered by bookies are remarkably accurate predictors of the outcome. Averaged across a number of bookies the small variations cancel out. In other words, you can't beat the house.

However, there are two additional details to consider. 1: Bookies may incorporate information at different rates and delays, so every now and then you can have a couple of outfits who are behind the trend, and where the odds for a given outcome are better than the industry consensus. And 2: sometimes a bookie may choose to offer over-the-odds opportunities to invite bets on one side of the market to balance out their net exposure for a lopsided game.

If we ignore the bookie's commission structure, let's say that a game has seen lopsided betting activity. Out of 1 million as placed bets 80% have been placed for the home team, so their exposure from home win is at least 800k. If they calculate that the away team has 13% probability of winning, the bookies may want to offer odds above that (ie. the payout of a bet is above than its fair value). That will invite some sharper bettors to put their money on the away team win, and the bookie gets more money on both sides of the book.

In other words, they try to reduce their net exposure to the game. In an ideal world for a bookie, the bets placed across all three outcomes cancel each other out, and over time they make their money from the commission.

In the real world, the bookies will identify sharp clients and prevent them from playing. They will also use the winning clients' trades as a pricing signal for themselves - and will hedge out accordingly on the exchanges when the same mispricing opportunity presents itself.

JARs still require a JRE to run, and the runtime needs to be invoked. The equivalent would probably be a Python zipapp (which are just Python files zipped into a .pyz the interpreter can run).

This has always been the case throughout history. The difficult part of winning big or consistently is not doing the probability judgments or expected value computations -- it's getting the counterparty to pay you.

With all due respect, that is the fundamental problem here. Your tool may provide value to your users but uploading mortgage documents to random third parties is de facto dangerous and encouraging users to act irresponsibly.

A great analogy would be a website that asks users to provide their usernames and passwords for sites to see if it’s a strong password or if it’s been compromised. “Sorry, the credentials stouset / hunter2 were found in our database for Hacker News.”

Sure maybe you’re a saint and don’t store or misuse this data. But such a site would in the best case be training users to do a very wrong and dangerous thing. In the worst case you get breached by attackers who do use the collected data to do evil.
