It's charitable. Cold snaps in Prairies can pretty easily hit -35, dropping down to -55 with windchill. You'll get frostbite on exposed skin in 2 minutes at those temperatures.

Most homeless will either take stay in one of the shelters available in the cities, or sneak onto the many freight trains heading towards the cities with milder climates when it starts getting cold. They'll head back when it starts to warm up again. A bus ticket is just enables the journey to be a lot more comfortable.
Free tiers are meant to be abused, because they should not be provided for free, and this is the market reacting to remove it.

Fun fact: The author of Newtonsoft was/is employed at Microsoft to work on System.Text.Json. It's sort of like a redemption arc.
But some billionaire did a TED talk where he said that the global poverty rate has been constantly declining, which is true, even if it is not meaningful if you remove it from the real-world context of purchasing power, social safety nets, support networks and shared commons, and only a positive if you think sweatshops are good because they create job opportunities.

Presumably they think the climage catastrophe is not a big deal. "On fire" is clearly hyperbole but the point is that we're on a fast track to total global economic collapse (to say nothing about the death and destruction itself) as long as the answer is to carefully do some ineffective reductions and give more money to the industry to spend on "carbon capture" technology that creates more emissions in the process of being built, maintained and operated than it could ever hope to capture, but I digress.
Yep, hn being engineer heavy, there’s a strong bias against marketing and sales. But that is what actually pays the bills, at least for us non-VC funded companies slugging it out in the real world.

Yes, but that's also the entire thing I was questioning. The essay says that an integral necessarily contains a hypernatural number of infinitesimal slices. I don't think that's true.
Yeah I kind of thought it was something like that, but searching for such broad terms got me nowhere, and the googletest documentation wasn't good enough for me to find it.

Since I can only read the first two sentences, the rest being blurred out by the paywall, I will only comment on those two sentences.

It's true. Developers are paid a lot, but there's often a lot of bullshit in the way of actually writing code. Such as meetings, calls, more meetings, inefficiencies in how tasks are assigned, dead time while you wait for other people to finish whatever they're doing.
Well, needless to say, I disagree with every single sentence of your post. I don't think there's a reason to continue - we'll just not agree here.
So, I guess the real question here is how the frogs self identify, and what are their pronouns?

So, can we get started now blaming the farmers for wokeness?
Thinking outside the uBlock box most of the Mullvad advertorial placement I see is from Best VPNs for the coming Dystopia articles and host forum site banners (not on typical ad black lists), fellow user guides, etc.

So, not Mullvad ads being blocked but actual Mullvad themed content positioned as of direct interest to the target demographic.
In terms of numbers, there have been a lot of trillionaires in Zimbabwe when their currency ran away with hyperinflation. Inflation has been happening with USD as well. So, we will see trillionaires eventually - just question of time.

Now, recalculate the dollar amount into electricity kWh that this money can buy. Talk about energy budget that this person possesses/can direct and manage as result. How many billions of kWh are they worth?
I agree!

Also, it's "Slow is smooth and smooth is fast".
No, actually, it's not a solution. A reasonable answer to questions like "Tell me about John Doe?" would be either "I don't know John Doe, so I can't tell you anything about him" or "There are several people named John Doe, which one are you interested in? [followed by a list]". Making up stuff about people (including allegations of corruption or sexual misconduct) is not a reasonable answer to this question. But getting ChatGPT to respect that is probably harder than just adding a filter...

> I would look into countries where euthanasia has been already implemented.

That's what puts me off of the idea in the first place. Cases like Christine Gauthier (a former army corporal and paralympian) who was offered euthanasia when trying to seek government disability benefits to install a wheelchair ramp. If it takes someone with existing fame to speak out about this, how many more people has this been pushed on?

> from the utilitarianism view - allowing euthanasia will prevent much more suffering than it will cause.

I'm not totally convinced. I haven't run the numbers, and this also certainly takes into account my personal views on valuing life and family, but I do fear more pain and suffering will come with legal euthanasia than it will solve.

Just look at the end of the article. It gives several examples of the kind of thing that allows me as a utilitarian to say that the suffering of a few terminally ill is not as bad as the harassment of countless vulnerable people.
So to keep better restrictions on atrazine we need to create a conspiracy theory that blames farmers for the “woke” movement.
Does it? The "good enough" Dell keyboard is made by a multi-billion dollar corporation in extremely large quantities. Economies of scale bring the price all the way down, and they skimp on parts (e.g. no real mechanical keys).

The cost isn't in "splitting the PCB in half", it's in designing and connecting two halves. In sourcing (usually) high quality mechanical keys. Due to the small batch sizes there's also a good chance these are installed by hand, which is pretty labour intensive. Labour ain't cheap.
Weird. Fascinating. Not expected here but I'm glad I saw it. Also, hoping some nuero-entymologist here can shed more light!
> Why on earth can two mobile phones still not exchange text messages directly over a couple hundred meters, for example?

Because the cell network is designed around the towers managing resource allocation, instead of phones trying and hoping nobody else was trying at the same time. Doing it this way increases the total capacity of the network by a lot.

So to create a phone mesh network, you would effectively need to create an entire new protocol stack, probably some enhancements to the frontend/PHY for the initial connection establishment (two phones realizing they're in range of each other) and congestion handling. And depending on how you implemented it, it would be a power hog too, since listening for a tower broadcast requires much less juice than announcing your presence to the world and hoping someone is in range.

(I do actually think there is phone-to-phone communications buried somewhere in the standards, but it still requires the tower for coordination)
Radio waves, air, water and DOCSIS cable modems have one thing in common: they're all shared spectrum. Whatever you do affects everyone else in the same medium - and unfortunately, there are always dumbasses who ruin the fun for everyone else.

People trying to hack their DOCSIS modems and flashing firmware from other countries disrupt everyone on the same trunk cable. People thinking they'll just beef up the PA on their crappy wifi AP to get a better signal instead of adding a second AP cause enough noise to disrupt an entire neighborhood, especially if the PA output fries (part of) the bandpass and now there's side emissions all over the place. People burning wet wood in their ovens because they can't be arsed to dry it properly or, worse, outright burning trash stink up the entire 'hood. And people taking dumps in the rivers were enough of a problem in medieval times already that warnings like "it is forbidden to crap in the river on <day> because the next day beer will be brewed" [1] were commonplace.

You're falling in the same trap as conspiracy theorists, though: Putting out almost non-falsifiable statements, and then claiming you know better and are smarter. Either it will be revealed that it was USAF and you can feel smug about being correct, or it will not come out and you can still feel smug about being correct because no one can prove you wrong.
Gemini 1120, 1206, and Gemini 2.0 flash have better coding results than ChatGPT o1 and Claude Sonnet 3.5.

They did it: from now on Google will keep a leadership position.

They have too much data (Search, Maps, Youtube, Chrome, Android, Gmail, etc.), and they have their own servers (it's free!) and now the Willow QPU.

To me, it is evident how the future will look. I'll buy some more Alphabet stocks
I've tried them, but something about the button placement feels off for the shape of my hand. I recommend them to people quite often, and they're usually well received.

Bell's inequality refutes the many-worlds interpretation? Where is it written?

"NULL" in fact is a macro, not a part of the language.
null (zero pointer) is, and it is explicitly defined in standard, that comparison of two null pointers lead to equality. You example simply won't compile, it is not undefined; the pointers simply are of different type, period.

here what standard says:

"A pointer to void may be converted to or from a pointer to any object type.

Conversion of a null pointer to another pointer type yields a null pointer of that type. Any two null pointers shall compare equal."

therefore, convert any of them or both to void amd compare.
you'll get equality.
This is like plane overbooking. Airline companies could do the right thing and just sell exactly the seats left on the plane (in this case, the OF creators could put a limit to the people being able to DM them) but instead they choose the extra profit by selling more tickets than there are seats (OF creator allowing an ungodly amount of people to flood their DMs) and just take the blame the few times the statistics goes against their favor (someone figures out they have been talking with an AI/employee)
Such people are idiots, to be blunt.
a better headline would be: “OnlyFans human chatters are being replaced by AI”.
That’s because:

- 99% of the time the models on OF don’t actually have any conversation(many of them don’t speak English at all), they may not even signup on OF. They are “managed” models(aka pimp-ed through a local pimp or totally remote/web pimp/agency))

- the DMs were handled by chatters in the first place so this has nothing to do with the models.
In my experience it is true that developers average almost no time actually writing code per day but the article is far too generous to guess at where developers actually do spend their time. It is also my experience that when not in meetings developers spend a significant amount of time compensating for slow, defective, and sometimes completely broken internal software and processes.

I suspect that is why corporate software has developed such an extreme Invented Here culture of irrationally fearing anything created by people they know. Of course, that is actually an excuse to not write code which creates a negative feedback loop further qualifying the problem.

Because of all that nonsense my employment experiences have taught me to never trust in the competence of corporate developers unless they write code outside of their primary job AND are required to own liabilities/health of their assigned code items.

That's the same thing I thought at first.

However, having massive amounts of capital means you can hire more people and buy expensive tools.
That was my point. It's an evocative image if you don't think about it too long but if you've ever seen one it's no different from any other fast food place. Unless you're a frequent customer, you're probably not going to develop any meaningful relationships with service workers - this is especially true for chain/franchise establishments and the rare exceptions I can think of are "mom and pop" style places which have all but vanished. You go to a places operated by service workers to socialize with other patrons (especially if they accompany you there, like on a date or group event), not the staff. In many cases the staff are literally required not to have genuine human interactions with you because they're being paid to be nice to you.

I am a happy mullvad customer since about 5 years. I find it somewhat reassuring that they are not spending a gazillion dollars advertising on YouTube or affiliate websites.

And of course prefer that they are in a jurisdiction that isn't a haven for shady companies.

In short: I like them because there is little bullshit and they seem to be OK. I don't think I could ever trust PIA or all of those companies.

I was hoping this article would cover non-obvious date time quirks when conveying this to humans.

If the context is an event, what does midnight mean? A one-day event might start at 6pm but not end until 2 or 3am. A computer considers that a two-day event, but that's kind of intuitively wrong. To a human, it's only a 1 day, and it doesn't end tomorrow. It ends, late tonight.

What if it starts Saturday at 9pm and goes until 6am? You would still consider that a Saturday event, but ends at sunrise, or early morning.
I was thinking about EC2's default instance storage - it's ephemeral and gets wiped when you restart or stop the instance. Without paying for EBS volumes, EC2's storage is non-persistent by design.
That’s craftmanship, not art.
Honestly, if you’ve accurately reproduced your prompt, I had trouble interpreting it initially too. “written on it in mirror writing” is quite ambiguous. Are the letters reflective, but on my side of the door? Is there a mirror with handwriting in it somehow? Oh… does it mean “push is written on the other side of the glass, facing away, so that the writing appears backwards, or mirrored”?
No kidding, I recently tried to use Copilot to generate a list of methods in a class, grouped by access (public/private/protected) and sorted by number of lines. And it was not possible! It duly generated lists upon lists, but all of them had mistakes, some of them obvious (like all private methods having the same number of lines), some less obvious.
Yeah, that's why I'm pointing it out. It's like the police is trying to oversell their investigative work in the public image, which strongly suggests that they had very little hand in actually catching him and now try to compensate - whether it's because they really were tipped off by a McDonald's employee or because the FBI found him doing something fishier. But the fact he had everything on him strongly suggests that the McDonald's story is at least credible.

It's pretty humiliating if you have a big militarized police force and can't catch a guy who killed a big important CEO in public and then went on wearing the murder suit in public until a random McDonald's guy calls you up and literally tells you where to find him, in public.
Definitely not when it comes to LLM's, the larger more useful local models are not that fast and latency is not an issue, just look at this Google models voice function or even openai's advanced voice.
Yeah, MS Azure DevOps is still alive, though stagnant. I thought everyone would be moved to GitHub in few years after MS acquired GitHub. Yet here we are, 6 years later.
The article mentions that "The names do not affect outputs using OpenAI's API systems or in the OpenAI Playground (a special site for developer testing)."
A big one I think is the ability to bid for government contracts. There are often calls for proposals for some relatively small, specific piece of work that could be fulfilled by a smaller company, but because the bidding process itself is so arcane, the contract gets awarded to some giant firm that has lawyers and knows how to negotiate the bidding process.

A way to streamline that process to make it fairer and more transparent could be a win for many people - though obviously large established government contractors don't want that to happen.

Australia to force tech giants to keep paying for news
> GitHub Actions is completely free

I mean kinda? It's free for public repositories, but free doesn't mean free for anything. The use of GitHub actions, like most thing in life, has terms of service[1]. This use-case arguably breaks the term "for example, don't use Actions [...] as part of a serverless application". If you start using this for demos, you'd probably also be breaking "You may only access and use GitHub Actions to develop and test your application(s)".

It's up to GitHub if they choose to enforce any of these terms. I just want to point out that there are limits to "free".

[1]: https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-t...
That doesn't add up, because you're now exceeding the memory bandwidth of the memory controller. I.e. it would be faster to do everything, including the CPU only algorithms, in far away VRAM.
Yes, pretty much. I think it would also be good (but admittedly risky) to accept third-party contributions (even new features) to the old version. In other words, instead of trying to force people to use a new license they could have tried to entice them.

Imagine a restaurant offering free samples or complimentary dishes to their customers. It helps in product discovery, and indirectly in adoption of other products that they pay for.

> How can anyone know these aren't a threat without knowing whose they are

They are - obviously - lying. This screams secrecy to me. All 3 know that these drones are not a threat. They aren't US military because they are a 3 letter agency program. They know there's nothing to worry about it, but they won't tell you any more details. Which has been the modus operandi for secret services for decades, so I'm surprised it's such an issue?
