Yeah I’m totally familiar with the TT. I was a fan of MotoGP growing up.

It is absolutely bonkers to me. But can you expand a bit on “completely unrelated bystanders” because spectators also know the risks of being a spectator. It’s crazy.

But is there a situation where someone that lives in IoM isn’t aware of what’s going on that week or that weekend?

Not that I’m against making things safer here and there, and in particular spectator zones. But someone standing on a sidewalk to get a view of a motorcycle going 200MPH merely feet from them, knows what they’re risking, don’t they?

And I agree that such a race would never get sanctioned today. Even one like Monaco in F1. It’s too tight.
Ruby on Reels! :D Great effort, thanks.

I wish there were more sites like this, devoted to particular topics that proved to be valuable enough to be presented in a public talk. I currently use YouTube for this a lot (like most people, I guess). But sadly, count(views) is not always correlated to quality.
You're arguing with me about points I haven't made.
Right around the same time, the children's book "Danny Dunn, Invisible Boy" was published, which described a very similar technology:

Depends on your use. If you are parsing a message you just received, I agree that you want to do a "has" check before accessing a field. But when constructing a message, having to manually create all the options is really annoying. (I do love the java builder pattern for protos).

But I do know the footgun of calling "get" on a Java Proto Builder without setting it, as that actually initializes the field to empty, and could call it to be emitted as such.

Such are the tradeoffs. I'd prefer null-safety to accidental field setting (or thinking a field was set, when it really wasn't).
You probably know this, but -- while the myostatin area is an interesting subject for research and drug development -- unlike testosterone, therapies are not commercially available (yet).

> "teaches—by way of images, information and gameplay—skills and knowledge that are used in poker … this knowledge and skill could be transferred to a real-life game of poker."

> He doesn't even like poker all that much—me either, for the record, though I adore Balatro, even if I am cursed with incredibly bad luck

I feel like I am missing something - is there like a cultural moment or something against poker? I played it all the time growing up, almost never for money, and there were absolutely zero qualms from anyone - church, school, grandma - anyone.

It's kind of shocking that PEGI really has a problem with gameplay mechanics like poker hands and probabilities. I get that poker has a more direct connection to casinos, but that would be like giving Madden an 18+ because it teaches football. (That might lead to "skill and knowledge" transferrable to sports betting, don't you know!)
It's also worth emphasizing, given their deliberate attempts to mislead the public, that DOGE isn't part of the government any more than General Motors is part of the military.

Now that is some useful advice!
Great-grandparent comment is talking about supraphysiological doses of test and anabolics, not replacement-level T (TRT). I agree that physiological dose TRT in people with otherwise-low T is safe.
What agenda do you think the OP is following, and why do you think they'd do so now after their long (~3 decades!) history of running forums? There has been many other pieces of legislation in that time, why now?

I tried to think of an agenda, but I'm struggling to come up with one. I think OP just doesn't want to be sued over a vague piece of legislation, even if it was a battle they could win (after a long fight). Just like they said right there in the post.

It's kind of rude to imply that this is performative when they gave a pretty reasonable explanation.
Because of "profitabilism", that's what. Profit margin over all--including, of course, product quality.
do you mean putting Bing on the start menu? Microsoft just made them opt-in by default and hoped that folks won't notice or care. you can disable them.

for Chinese devices, there's no way to disable them.

the difference is, for Windows, having Bing on start was a feature (although a bad one). for Chinese devices, you just get ads - you're stuck with ads while changing your brightness.

There are two kinds of thing that are both called eFuse: current-limiting devices which are almost always resettable, and one-time programmed bits which are intentionally one-time programmable (some are implemented as physical fuses which are blown by overcurrent, others are implemented using various other types of write-once nonvolatile memory, and some bad ones are implemented by making normal flash pretend to be write-once using firmware-level protections).

Professionally I usually see OTP referred to as "fuses," "OTP," "straps," or "chicken bits," with the specific word "eFuse" reserved for the current-limiting device. But in popular media the trend seems the opposite.
I remember using OpenModellica to test an Functional Mockup Unit where I extracted Neural Net as ONNX and the ONNX runtime DLL and then connected it to Simcenter Amesim as my student work at Siemens. Pretty okay standard compared to how old and crusty the APIs of engineering software are.
I didn't notice HN had replaced the link (https://crosswordracing.com) by the current (at the time) redirect. If you want to go to the current front-page game, you should visit https://crosswordracing.com

When it's cheaper to replace device 2 than get device 3 I guess walling it off in a subnet makes sense. These devices need to get replaced eventually anyway so unless the manufacturer goes under in a year or two of purchase IDK really.

Depends on the kind of device though - I'm not so keen on changing switches for example and would not compromise there. But cameras or robot mops or voice assistant, throwaway stuff after warranty expires no matter who the source is.
EVGA also significantly reduced warranty on their PSUs. Changed PSU components without changing model number.
Sort of. Some fraction of test (natural or exogenous) converts to DHT via 5α-reductase, and some people (not everyone) have DHT-sensitive hair loss.

Historically a ridiculous percentage of software projects either failed entirely or suffered massive overruns.

For larger, older companies, big-A Agile consultancies were able to sell training and services by touting Agile as a way to achieve savings. They may have even succeeded to some degree at achieving a higher likelihood of eventual delivery and lower overruns.

Smaller companies and early stage startups wanted and needed more lightweight processes. Those that used little-a agile were more likely to succeed and grow instead of going out of business. So there’s a survivor bias at play.

Then everyone else cargo cults and copies whoever looks like they know what they’re doing.

If the last-mile problems of things like autonomous vehicles have been anything to go by, it seems the last mile problems of entrusting your entire business operations to complete black box software, or software written by a novices talking to complete black box, will be infinitely worse.

There's plenty of low-code, no-code solutions around, and yet still lots of software. The slice of the pie will change, but it's very hard to see it being eliminated entirely.

Ultimately it's going to come down to "do I feel like I can trust this?" and with little to no way to be certain you can completely trust it, that's going to be a harder and harder sell as risk increases with the size, complexity, and value of the business processes being managed.

One of my favourite places in the world is this one particular McDonalds in Camberwell that's open 24 hrs.

On a Friday night at 2am, its full of people from all walks of life - from delivery workers taking a 5 minute break, to wedding party socialites looking for a quick food fix since everything else is closed - and they're all there for the exact same reason and are sitting next to each other without any tension or fanfare.

There really is a certain community magic to it.

Exactly the complaint that everyone on here made about GDPR, saying the sky would fall in. If you read UK law like an American lawyer you will find it very scary.

But we don't have political prosecuters out to make a name for themselves, so it works ok for us.

Doesn't everyone know and acknowledge that in a capitalist system, there is more money to be made when products have a finite operational window? It's a lot more profitable to sell you a phone/fridge/car every few years than it is to make one that lasts 10, 15, 20 years...
There was a link to directly to note G in the article, in fact, it's the exact same URL that you linked to.
So many devs are too young to remember a time before you would expect to just download some open source and compile it for x86/amd64/arm/emscripten/etc and be good to go. In the old days, if you didn't want to write that library code yourself, chances are all your AltaVista search would turn up was a guy selling a header file and a DLL and OCX[0] for $25. If you were lucky!

A vast amount of code was only intended to compile and run on a single OS and architecture (circa 2000, that was usually x86 Win32; Unix was dying and Wintel had taken over the world). If some code needed to be ported to another platform, it was as good as a from-scratch re-write.

> If anything, tequila has way more of an effect on poor judgment...

Absinthe was around 70% abv. Much easier to overdose on alcohol than with 40-odd % tequila. It is although understood that there was a lot of adulterated absinthe around. And even in the presumably good stuff, the distillation techniques of the time left somewhat to be desired and the resulting drinks contained nasty chemicals (notably methanol).

That said, I still think the moral panic was completely out of proportion and, as the article mentions, absinthe ended up being a convenient scapegoat. It is very similar to how gin was seen in England.
Software will continue to be garbage until we expect more out of it. And that extends to the people writing it. This isn't a profession that is kind to people who want to do things by the book.

We incinerate the book every few years, but the fundamentals remain the same.
If you want something concrete: I have never yet seen any even slightly competent code come out of an LLM when it's writing in F#, Mathematica, or POSIX sh, which are broadly the languages I write in. (It's possible Wolfram's very new LLM does better on Mathematica because it's been trained on it specifically, but I haven't tried it.) I've only had Sonnet for a day (having been burned too many times by other LLMs, but decided yesterday it was time to try again), so am not in a great position to comment on Sonnet's abilities with those languages specifically. My preliminary guess is that we've gone from 4o's "20% correct" to Sonnet's "50% correct".

> Their state in the past is irrelevant.

Apparently also their state in the present? I said "just about edged out ahead", whereas you say "immense value".

In your first post, you said "can already do," which is not true.
This morning I ran out of coffee at home. While walking to the coffee shop I was thinking about building something like this for my Roborock. Now that I know it already exists, it is a less appealing idea. Video games and books in the holidays it is then!
This article completely seems to miss the point. If your profits are capped by regulation, how can you increase them? Increase costs.

Pff bit of this bit of that. Trying to compete in the private market against SpaceX is questionable. The system isn't cutting edge and at best will be in the private market with massive subsidies.

Doing a huge constellation is 'in' but doing so when you can't even figure out how to design decent rocket doesn't make sense. We end up spending much more government money then the US ever did on Starlink, and we don't even get a decent rocket out of it.

In fact, Europe is massively subsidising Amazon, just so the Ariane 6 can pretend it has costumers. And then we will launch this constellation with Ariane 6 and then everybody will pat themselves on the back declaring their 'vision' as a great success.

Creating some LEO constellation for government and military maybe not a terrible idea.

But 10 billion is less then SpaceX paid for the complete Falcon 9 development and the initial version of the constellation. And the government maybe paid a few billion at best.

So we are paying 10x is more, for getting about 10% the value. And we will give a huge subsidy to Amazon as well. That just not really a great use of strategic resources.

I would prefer to first figure out some basic, change the structures, start small and use contractors that can actually deliver. I don't actually see an urgent need for a 10 billion $ LEO constellation right now. Maybe get the rockets right and iterate on the technology for a while.

Its like, Germany for example can't get the trains to run on time, the military is a complete basket case with many much bigger needs then secure LEO constellations, but LEO constellation is what every 'great' power must have. Sending old military equipment to Ukraine is to hard, lets slow ball that, but copying Starlink so we can also have secure unhackable LEO constellation that is a huge priority.

I do think investing in critical infrastructure makes sense, but I don't have to be happy about how its actually done. So I don't really care about spending 10 billion. But the process of how decisions are made and how they are executed, is something I do care about.

For example, it was utterly embracing watching Arianespace bumble along looking like complete and utter buffoons for 10 years, embracing Europe on a global stage. And did anybody get taken to account for a complete and systematic mismanagement? Have those contractors suffered any consequences? Of course not, here is another 500 million $ go and do a research project about the basics of reusable rockets.
> Once the expensive drink of the French bourgeoisie and artists, absinthe became more affordable in the second half of the 19th century, whereupon workers, women and those in the French colonies, from North Africa to Indochina, began drinking it.

For a period of time Absinthe was the cheapest, strongest drink in France. Its bad reputation comes from that.
Not likely. It needs to build a profile of what sounds you can’t hear in order to know what to specifically make louder, if there’s nothing to specifically make louder, then the feature cannot work. Just turn up the volume, or increase the noise cancelling, or turn on voice isolation, or whatever you actually want it to do.
If a LLM (or any other tool) makes so that team of 8 can get the same results in the same time as it used to take a team of 10 to do, then I would count that as "replaced 2 programmers" - even if there's no particular person for which the whole job has been replaced, that's not a meaningful practical difference, replacing a significant fraction of every programmer's job has the same outcomes and impacts as replacing a significant fraction of programmers.
Which AI Companies Are the Safest–and Least Safe?
I think it's a tad risky, as in, if I've an issue, returning it is an extra effort. Plus I'd be paying a fair bit extra for postage in the first place.

I think the best bet for me over here (Ireland) is to research the CAT phone that is dumb enough and not too expensive.

E.g., the CAT B26, for example, looks promising https://www.productindetail.com/pm/cat-b26
Red flags are things like significant drops in stock price, revenue, earnings, customer satisfaction, lawsuits, or changes in senior management.

You can specify the red flags, or the LLM will specify them for you don't include them.

You can also specify how often you want the LLM to monitor things for you.

Do you know what the retail markup on things you buy in your local shop?

I've done it recently on my work laptop. Some notes for whoever walks this path.

I'd add /opt to that list, where I install non-apt software .e.g. Jetbrains, Joplin, eclipse, ...

Some stuff under $HOME breaks even if it shouldn't. firefox got an upgrade from LTS to mozilla, and refused to pickup or even import its profile and passwords. libreoffice never got past the splash screen . The corporate VPN tool just completely broke for no apparant reason. Deleting and rewriting all their .config 'fixed' it. Also, .cache was not copied over.

I started maintaining an ansible script to manage my laptop, but that was more to learn ansible. Even so, it did well rebuilding /etc. I have a copy but don't seem to need it..

I look at utmp to book my work hours, so I had to guestimate failover day. A next upgrade will copy it too.

Renaming the home directory due to sssd broke a lot of paths that really should have been relative to ~. I made a symlink from my old home as lazy workaround.

All in all, I was back running fast, but mainly because everything was scripted or in a decent location. My days of perfectly tuning every nook and cranny are long past.

I run just over 300 forums, for a monthly audience of 275k active users

I can't imagine one person running over 300 forums with 275,000 active users. That gives you an average of eight minutes a week to tend to the needs of each one.

I used to run a single forum with 50,000 active users, and even putting 20 hours a week into it, I still didn't give it everything it needed.

I know someone currently running a forum with about 20,000 active users and it's a full-time job for him.

I don't understand how it's possible for one person to run 300 forums well.

I have AMD in my desktop and my laptop and it has been pretty good under Linux (I use Fedora) the past year or two. AMD definitely was late to the game, and I still don't think they care as much as they should, but they are definitely working on it. I've been easily running GPU accelerated Ollama on my desktop and laptop through ROCm.

AMD is definitely not perfect but I don't think it's fair to say they decided not to invest in software. Better late than never, and I'm hoping AMD learned their lesson.
