There will be some Official Ruling that you can't do this (probably antiquated 20th century) thing because that constitutes an Unlawful Search or whatever. Thank you to the Constitution for protecting our freedoms, etc.

Meanwhile, there will be a much more powerful way to achieve that goal using a smartphone, which is 100x more subtle and effective, which will be legal because technically it doesn't cross the big red line. There will be some arcane logic here that only a lawyer could love, but it will amount to 20th century technique = banned, 21st century cellphone technique = fine. So everyone will do that.

It'll just get more pronounced over time.

I didn't really get deeply into Moria until later, when the first MSDOS version came out; but after that I was obsessed with Moria and its follow-on, Angband, plus many different variants of Angband, for many, many years.

There were three things in Waymo's latest CPUC filing that interested me. First, through the end of August, Los Angeles still irrelevant. Over 85% of their California rides were still in SF. Second, ridership in SF doubled in 90 days without a significant expansion in either vehicles or trips per service hour, but they had the cars out on the road more hours every day. Third, the geographic concentration of their rides is extreme, with a large fraction of trips starting near either the Ferry Building or Fisherman's Wharf, which suggests that it is popular with and useful to tourists.

I never saw the term vibecession before. Wiki has a separate page for it!

I wonder if this trend also appears in other highly advanced economies. Example: When UK switched from conservative to labour, was there a similar sentiment swing? My guess: Yes.

Netherlands also moved much more right in the last election after PM Mark Rutte stepped down after 8 years. However, broadly, the NL economy is doing much better than UK economy. Maybe the vibecession effect is stronger when the economy is weak? Could be.
Something like that seems like it would require extensive in-house testing before I actually used it for real.

Employee productivity is a flawed metric in most large companies, which are filled with dead weight cashing good paychecks but they're profitable because they monopolized certain markets or sectors which means they can afford all that inefficiency. The knives and chopping block come out the moment profits drop, and that time is neigh for a lot of German companies.
This seems much more scaleable. Car share services (eg. Evo in Vancouver) seem like good partners as they already have the fleet management services and a recognizable (and hopefully trusted) brand.

I'm not sure about other car share services work, but in the case of Evo they have existing relationships with the cities that make up Metro Vancouver. I wonder if this would ease rollout as you'd already know all the required people to talk to within municipal government?
>Have you ever lived close to the poverty line and/or earned below minimum wage?

Yes. I grew up in poverty in an area far from any big cities in the '70s and '80s. We only had eggs and meat because we raised chickens and rabbits. Half my calories during the summer months came from the garden.

Your comment ended in a way that demonstrated no interest in a good faith discussion. Preemptively telling the people who disagree with you that they have no empathy is a sure-fire way to guarantee that tone of response.

Most projects would be way too big to put into a prompt—even if technically you're within the official context window, those are often misleading—the actual window where input is actually useful is usually much smaller than advertised.

What you can do with something like this is store it in a database and then query it for relevant chunks, which you then feed to the LLM as needed.

The peripheries of the EU (Portugal, Spain, Southern Italy, Greece, Bulgaria, etc) already see massive youth immigration and brain drain to the richer areas of the EU.

Make the majority of EU citizens fluent in English, and you can imagine how that would quickly massively increase this issue and destroy local economies and create massive political issues.

The usefulness of copyright is that in theory, I am automatically own anything I create.

The "market" then decides how much its worth, and I decide how much I want to enforce it (either by assigning rights to people, or removing them entirely by applying a liberal licence.)

However Harberger taxes require me to _pay_ something first. This means that in practice only rich people have copyright, and aggregators like meta, google and ticktok will take all the profit allowing no legal recompense from me.

Which is almost like what we have now.

The issue with copyright is less about how copyright is assigned, its more about how fucking long it lasts. Life + 25 years is probably enough for almost all cases.

But the "its really bad that an artwork cant be used" sentiment is wrong. I made it, I want to control whos using it. The point is that the owner has the right to choose. Do they want thier artistic vision to be fucked up by someone whos only out for money? Do they want someone who they vehemently oppose to use thier stuff for thier own game? (think politician that you don't like)

So no, Harberger taxes will make the worst parts of copyright default, and limit access to the small people who actually really need it's protection.

I thought Metabase can change values?
Subtractive is intelligent design. FM is discovery :)
The grass is definitely greener. In Rust you never have any doubts about whether you're moving or copying. Although...

Rust's 'move semantics' are defined as copying the value, including any internal references. That's also what happens in C++, of course, and normally 'the value' is a small struct with potential heap references embedded. But it's possible to embed a large array in a struct, in which case moving it is expensive-

Except usually not, as the memory copy only exists in principle and the optimiser will usually remove it. But that isn't visible at the language level.

It's also nice that the moved-from value cannot be used afterwards. No need to wonder if it's in a sensible state or not -- the type system won't let you access it. (Which is why the optimiser is fairly reliable at reusing the data.)
I imagine it's hard to quantify "profit" with such a research-driven org. It's like penciling out the profitability of the metaverse after years of $XX billion dollar losses. In general I get the sense that Waymo is more of a diverse investment than a pure ride-hailing play; for example, as of 2020 they were working for Volvo, Chrysler, Jaguar, and Nissan[1], presumably for $$$.

It's also worth remembering that Zoox exists (Amazon's more futuristic self-driving car play, no steering wheel at all), and has not at all gone the way of Alexa/the Dodo bird (yet). I expect them to make a big splash sometime in the coming decade, personally.

That is, of course, assuming they survive regulatory capture by Tesla, which would need a miracle or an unfair advantage to beat these two at this point, even if they finally follow the science on the need for LiDAR. Another big unknown is how the electorate will react to self-driving cars becoming more than a novelty; Elon Musk is absolutely correct that a backlash of some kind is inevitable even if the safety stats pencil out, IMHO.

> There were questions concerning how Kherson was captured so easily.

There are also questions how Germans advanced so quickly in 1941. In a few months, they had advanced 600+ km in all three major directions, and captured over 3 million Russians as prisoners of war. And likewise, top Russian officers were reprimanded for their failures and many were executed.

Here's a prominent example:

Dmitry Grigoryevich Pavlov (Russian: Дми́трий Григо́рьевич Па́влов; 4 November [O.S. 23 October] 1897 – 22 July 1941) was a Soviet general who commanded the key Soviet Western Front during the initial stage of the German invasion of the Soviet Union (Operation Barbarossa) in June 1941. After his forces were heavily defeated within the first few days of the campaign, he was relieved of his command, arrested, charged with military incompetence, and executed.

Death penalties were also passed down for other commanders of the Western Front, including the Chief of Staff, Major General Vladimir Klimovskikh; the chief of the communications corps, Major General A. T. Grigoriev; the Chief of Artillery, Lieutenant General of Artillery A. Klich; and Air Force Deputy Chief of the Western Front (who, after the suicide of Major General Aviation I.I. Kopets, was, nominally at least, Chief of the Air Force of the Western Front), Major General Aviation A. I. Tayursky. Also, the commander of the 14th Mechanized Corps, Major General Stepan Oborin, was arrested on 8 July and shot. The commander of the 4th Army, Major General Aleksandr Korobkov, was dismissed on 8 July, arrested the next day, and shot on 22 July.

Are you saying that Russians welcomed Germans?
While my point is that they can't know and do everything.

Is luanti able to even do these tasks? Depending on how it implements mobs and the physics, it might not be possible, so your "If none exists" might actually be true - you don't know!

> Of course, that has not always been the case, and things falls through the cracks, but I would not immediately dismiss the entire industry as being non-compliant.

There's a point in time where this changed and permits needed at least a plausible expectation of remediation. If I had to guess that would have been late 1980s to mid 90s.

Most of the sites abandoned without remediation are from permits obtained before that time. I'm sure there's some cases where there was a setaside for remediation and it wasn't sufficient and the corporate entities involved went bankrupt, so it wasn't finished; but IMHO, most of the problem is older sites. Older sites also tend to have worse records, so there's that too.

I'm kind of surprised no one has mentioned Larn/ULarn, which I played a lot back in the day. Each level was about the size of a Rogue level, but levels weren't completely random. There were a number of basic level templates, each of which could be modified in various ways. Some were random mazes; in others, the basic map never changed, but doors got added or deleted in various places.

My basic strategy was to save my coins until I could get the Lance of Death, the "Walk through Walls" spell, haste self spell, and "permanent" spell, which made current buffs permanent. Then I could romp and frolic through the levels.

While Amazon has every right to make operational changes, it cannot covertly decide that a dollar in one ZIP code is worth less than a dollar in another,”
That's an interesting choice for several reasons:

1. Literally nobody in Florida can drive. Nobody indicates. People run red lights. They speed on the hard shoulder to overtake someone else who is speeding slightly less;

2. There's a lot of things that come down to timing, like when the bridges are up on the Venetian and over the Miami River. You can also get trains blocking the entire of downtown;

3. It seems like there's constant rerouting for closed roads, typically due to contruction;

4. Inclement weather. High winds and flooding. Biscayne Boulevard is often called Lake Biscayne. 30 minutes can be the difference between Miami Beach being dry and every road being 1 foot deep in water (not an exaggeration); and

5. What will be the covered area? I guess Phoenix and LA sprawl too but what constitutes "Miami" goes south, west and north pretty far. I mean there's no break between Miami, unincorporated Miami-Dade County and Fort Lauterdale.

Wait so there was near universal outcry on the left about “Jan 6 insurrection” but assassination of public figures is actually fine if they have a low approval rating and allegedly negatively affect people’s lives?

It sounds like you're saying people should have the same attitude towards a mob storming the capital on the claim of a stolen election vs a man who systematically oppressed those who are ill, and arguably stole from them as well?

I don't wish harm on anyone but these are two very morally different situations, which require very different responses.

Also it is not clear to me that those who are outraged at the CEO is on the left. I'd imagine that the right is equally denied of health coverage while ill, and it seems plausible that they would be just as angry as those on the left.

And if you’re going down that path, the string may not have a pointer at all.

The politically incorrect guide to saving NASA's Artemis Program
I sense irony here, but I'm American so it's hard to be sure.
The only reason it makes sense to do this is if the overhead of doing the string formatting is way higher than the enabled test:

if logger.isEnabledFor(logging.DEBUG):
logger.debug(f"Processing cache entry for key: {key}")

But the logger already does this filtering by log level as the implementation of the logging.Logger.debug method already has this check:

if self.isEnabledFor(DEBUG):

The implementation already defers string formatting until after this check if you pass the format string and the arguments.

I think the recommendation should be to never use f-strings with logger method calls and instead use a format string and pass the interpolation arguments.

Show HN: Make open-source contributions fun and meaningful
I do maintain big OSS projects and and try to contribute as well.

However contribution experience can very bad, if you follow the path of picking the most famous objects. Good luck contributing to Node, Rust, Shadcn and etc - they do not need your contribution, their PR queue is overloaded and they can't handle it. Plus you need to get to their internal circles first, though quite complex process.

The world is much bigger. There are so many help required from the smaller but still active projects.

Just recently I raised 3 small PRs, and they reviewed the same day!

As a my respect to all the OSS community, I have build this website, which in the nutshell shows latest "help wanted" and "good first issue" issues, from all over github in the last 24 hours.

"valid program" is not really a term that is used in the standard (I only count one normative usage). What the standard does say is:

"A conforming implementation executing a well-formed program shall produce the same observable behavior as
one of the possible executions of the corresponding instance of the abstract machine with the same program
and the same input. However, if any such execution contains an undefined operation, this document places
no requirement on the implementation executing that program with that input (not even with regard to
operations preceding the first undefined operation)."

I.e. a program the contains UB is undefined.

Of course, as you observer, an implementation can go beyond the standard and extend the abstract machine to give defined semantics to those undefined operations.

That's still different from implementation defined behaviour, where a conforming implementation must give defined semantics.
Undoubtedly a direct correlation to the apathy and glee that UHC exhibits in denying claims.
