Cars with a taller front end are more noticeable and I also hate SUVs. There's no need to move a 2000kg monster vehicle around, they use a lot of space and pollute a lot.
Why do we teach kids how to do basic arithmetic by hand? After all, calculators are basically ubiquitous at this point. Why waste the time teaching a skill that's not necessary as an adult?

The reason is because doing arithmetic by hand teaches kids how math actually works, while using a calculator just teaches them how to find the answer. This base-level understanding is crucial for understanding more advanced math. But it's also important for making mental estimations, or just having a basic grasp on how the world works.

This is why students using ChatGPT is a problem. If you never put in the actual work in the first place, you never gain any actual understanding. A doctor "great at using ChatGPT" won't know how to check the results carefully if they've relied on ChatGPT for their entire education. Having a baseline skill set is crucial for evaluating LLM output, and for handling situations that LLMs can't handle. And there will always be situations LLMs can't handle, regardless of how advanced genAI becomes.
Just search for local star parties in your area. Although, be willing to bend the definition of local depending on how light polluted your area is. My local is 4 hours away. Also, some colleges have viewing nights available. Even in light polluted areas, you can still see things for public viewings. They just suck for anyone wanting to image.

There are tons of sites listing them, but I doubt there's an absolute exhaustive list as it's all self-reporting to each of the sites. Your app idea would just be another in a list of places, sort of like the xkcd app about yet another standard.

I don't believe it's not intrinsic. A lot of the reason why Lispers may be averse to static types is because of the perceived inflexibility it can induce into the system. Lisp programmers don't want to be told what to do, especially by the compiler. Some CLs like SBCL have allowed some form of inference through the standard type declarations in the language. This leads me to believe that the 'right thing' in the case of Lisp is a combination of dynamicity and some stronger typing features that can be applied during the optimization stage. The dynamic nature and ease of use of Lisp relative to its performance is one of its greatest assets: it would be nearsighted to try and sacrifice that--a good Lisp programmer can optimize the important parts of his programs such that they're comparable to or even outperform their equivalents in other more ``high-performance'' languages. With that being said, these developments might bring us closer to a ``sufficiently smart compiler'' that could make that latter stage mostly unnecessary.

In America, a notary stamps anything put in front of them. In other countries, they have a larger role. My limited understanding is foreign notaries represent the state in the contract. They want to make sure the contract is legal, clear, enforceable, etc.
Kitsch feels easier to understand as just guilty indulgence. Some people do look at the calendar at the mall featuring cute babies playing jazz instruments and want to buy it for what it is: a series of cute images to delight you and your desk mates. I would personally buy it ironically, but still get a lot of enjoyment out of its genuine attempt. It would definitely make me smile by making me laugh inside every time I see it. FWIW I think both views validate the concept of kitsch.

Not covered in this article strangely, but kitsch is the most powerful when its genuine. I see the calendar of cats doing yoga poses and it only brings me fleeting joy, its trying to be kitsch, and it doesn't feel like the "artist" really put the effort in. When they do I can feel it, and for some reason I'm weirdly inspired by it (probably because if I really tried, I'd put out something like that).

I know movie examples way better than attempts at painting or sculpture. I watch bad movies weekly and its one of my favorite indulgences. When we watch a Neil Breen movie I can feel the genuine attempt to make a movie that says something...and failing spectacularly at it. When I watch Sharknado I see a pretty cheap attempt at a gag that might delight me for a bit, but feels empty in its attempt to make real entertainment. Ed Wood movies have that sort of charm, they score F's in every department from acting to sound editing, but you can feel the energy of the cast and crew as they try to make something special and fail. Hallmark Christmas movies are probably the best analogous thing to the sort of kitsch we think of when we use the word, they're ostensibly pro-Christmas spirit with a middling cast and plot line, but usually there's an element of genuine attempt to make something your 50-year old aunt would enjoy while she sips on egg nog. Personally, I love that shit.

I'm always shocked at how much students will put in effort simply not to do an assignment given. I guess this is just part of what you will get when you attach cultural and economic worth to a set of hoops to jump through [even if the intent is to have institutions of knowledge, sadly I think many students just see it as a way to get economic stability].

I gotta say, the tone of this article offends me. They basically put things as "these people are complete weirdos though they might have a tiny spec of a point, chuckle".

And "war"? You can see these a few voices in the wilderness with no leverage 'cause this little society presents the average person with no way to do anything about the many "little annoyances" of this society presents even when they add up to something nightmarish or happen to strongly affect a minority.
Oh. You are right for the British thing.

I guess it's the British bourgeois press that rejoices then!
That's an interesting question.

My sense is that the "hivemind" is, in a symbiotic way, both homegrown and significantly foreign-influnced.

More specifically: the core sentiment of the hivemind (basically: anti-war/anti-interventionist mixed with a broader distrust of anything the perceived "establishment" supports) is certainly indigenous -- and it is very important to not overlook this fact.

But many of its memes, and its various nuggets of disinformation do seem to be foreign imports. This isn't just an insinuation; sometimes the lineage can actually be traced word-for-word with statements originating from foreign sources (for example, "8 years of shelling the Donbas").

The memes don't create the sentiment. But they do seem to reinforce it, and provide it with a certain muscle and kick. While all the while maintaining the impression that it's all entirely homegrown.

And the farther one goes down the "multipolar" rabbit hole, the more often one encounters not just topical memes, but signature phrases lifted directly from known statements by Putin and Lavrov themselves. E.g. that Ukraine urgently needs to "denazify". The more hardcore types even have no qualms about using that precious phrase "Special Military Operation", with a touch of pride in their voice.

It's really genuinely weird, what's happening. What people don't realize is that none of this is happening by accident. It's a very specific craft that the Russian security services (in particular) have nurtured and developed, literally across generations, to create language that pushes people's buttons in this way.

The Western agencies and institutions have their own way of propaganda of course, but usually it's far more bland and boring (e.g. as to how NATO "supports fosters broader European integration" and all that).

Would we have the same kind of hivemind without Putin? There's always some kind of a hivemind -- but as applies to Eastern Europe, it does seem that the general climate of discourse was quite different before his ascendancy. And that it certainly took a very sharp, weird bend in the road after the start of Special Military Operation.
I have my rails shirt from RailsWorld 2024 (this past september) and it haaaaasn't lasted too many washes. The logo is printed onto the shirt using that method that makes it feel like a sticker stuck on top of the fabric and has a tendency to crack. (It IS printed correctly, not really a sticker)

A smaller-logo version would be better, since making it a giant red circle means it's just more obvious when it starts to break down.
I've been working with scrapers quite a lot. I started with python requests, then to scrapy, then selenium, then selenium via undetected_chromedriver, and once that started being detected during a chrome update about a year ago, I've switched over to seleniumbase. It got by undetected, but to get it working with pre-downloaded drivers, I had to look into the code. I have never, and I mean never, in all my python years, seen such a horrible mess of code. We are talking 1000lines long methods, with 20-30 different flags and branches Just horrible. I have since switched to Playwright, which seems to be also undetected, and offers a much saner interface.

> Use a password manager that supports passkeys

If the user is, what's the point of having passkeys? One using a password manager has (strong) passwords generated for them...

First time I'm hearing about removing passwords and it sounds like they're implementing an even worse idea.
They should ban hidden taxes too. The sticker price should be the final price.
More likely that they used something like quillbot or grammarly for automatic paraphrasing.
It's almost like companies shouldn't try to win a war on two fronts.

Instead of having shareholders and customers, just have customers. Then, yes, all the profit would go to the workers/owners.
Love this idea. It's crazy that every company knows more about my online activity than I know about it myself.

Definitely worried that running the extractors would get my accounts banned for violating policies against automated requests.
With e.g. the PATRIOT Act, the "hot mess" is that they just keep reauthorizing the provisions that require it. But I fail to see how it would be any better if they didn't even have to do that. At least the way things are, every time it comes up for re-auth, it also has to be renegotiated in the court of public opinion.
i have been involved in quite a few code escrow agreements but none that were actually used. i'd be curious to hear any stories about cases where that did happen.

in my experience it has just been a way to help business decision makers credibly claim they are managing risk when buying from a startup

This was a fascinating read! I truly enjoy deep dives into the relics of the early(ier) years. I'm curious if there exists a virtual machine for the Tektronix 4404, I think it'd be fun to tinker with devices like those in software since it's unlikely one will ever pass through my hands.
This honestly makes me want to take a tour knowing how hard the guides worked to get to that position.
Seems like a no brainer. Can they tackle sales tax next?
I don't know what "theocratic and genocidal outbursts" you're referring to, but it's completely untrue that criticizing Bill Clinton can get you fired from teaching at a university. I'm not sure where you could have gotten the idea that it's rare or dangerous to criticize politicians in the US.
This is not a study. Furthermore, this isn't even a report on losing weight!

Now I don't actually know what central hub gateway function entails :) but it does sound like some non-Xiaomi devices could also fulfill this role.

In case of HASS I think local network is a pretty decent assumption. I have my HASS on both my local VLAN as well as the IOT VLAN.
Is there any benefit, from Starlink’s perspective for them to sell ‘reseller kits’ for a single ground based antenna to serve a neighborhood? Or are Starlink’s radios so efficient that it doesn’t really matter?

Also, I wonder why Starlink wouldn’t have more demand-based pricing based on consumption? With a very finite service window at least for the next 10 years, seems like each allotment of time talking to a satellite is worth a highly variable amount depending on its location.
To answer what I saw, some blend of this:

- post-9/11 stress and ‘08 was a big jolt, and pushed a lot of folks out.

- Managed their money fine (or not) for when the job slowed down and also when ‘08 hit

- “traders” became “salespeople” or otherwise managing relationships

- Saw the trend, leaned into it hard, you now have Citadel, Virtu, JS, and so on.

- Saw the trend, specialized or were already in assets hard to automate.

- Senior enough to either steer the algo farms + jr traders, or become an algo steerer themselves

- Not senior enough, not rich enough, not flexible enough or not interested anymore and now drive Uber, mobile dog washers, joined law enforcement (3x example I know of).

I don't think there are only two options here. There are other approaches like Google Starline.

> How does a password manager help my cloud account?

It's an alternative place to store webauthn credentials, if you're worried about being locked out.

You register multiple passskeys for your account on a service. So if you lose access to one (because you yoinked your phone into orbit), you can use the other one.

It's as complicated as you want to make it.

Anyone who thinks that kei trucks shouldn't be on roads and highways and motorcycles should ought to have their head examined.

For the record I support both, with the exception of 3 wheel delta configuration motorcycles such as Harley's 3 wheeler. Riding one is a death wish; selling one should be a crime.

Your argument is that password managers are fine if you use them correctly.

That's a big "if".
> Some kind of fairness doctrine needs to be reintroduced.

I recall learning about The Fairness Doctrine in college and being very confused about the existence of Fox News only in the next few sentences to discover that it was *yet another* great policy dismantled by the Reagan administration... The birth of Fox News quickly followed.

> CNN and MSNBC are at all time low viewership... Fox News started it and every other news source ended up copying them.

I would love to read a study on this outcome for CNN and MSNBC. Folks to the left don't seem to get their information from television whereas folks to the right gobble up hundreds, if not thousands, of hours of TV news per year. Such an intriguing dichotomy.
Fantastic, that's great:)

I graduated before LLMs but after WolframAlpha and I essentially cheated my way through calculus I and II. Lenient grade weighting made 90s on the homework and 60s on the exams enough to slide through with a C. Funnily enough, now that it's over a decade later and I know more about myself and my neurodivergent patterns, I feel much more able and interested in actually learning calculus. I'm looking forward to seeing the pedagogical changes that result from LLMs enabling this sort of trickery for all subjects.
Like anything, the term “free market” fluctuates in semantics like hemlines.

But “the effective freedom to compete” is a reasonable TLDR on versions of it that lead to peace and prosperity.

The “money for nothing” kind of capitalism? That kind gets regimes and their apologists killed in my reading of history.

I’ll admonish you to endorse a better plan.
Good to see this getting more attention. It's hard to make sense of a system that allows motorcycles but not kei trucks.

Wonder if this going to be permanent or will be reverted as soon as the new FTC head is in office.
I would bet money they will start doing this.
Hmm. I think we’d have to define what we’re measuring to think about what’s a relevant factor. AAA games with massive budgets seem to usually have to come up with some really annoying live service business models nowadays, so I’d tend to guess increasing the team size is a negative factor.

OTOH there are lots of little indie games… I mean, how are we going to count attempts, right? As an obviously not to be included extreme case, lots of games come out with a map editor, in some sense playing around with a map editor is “making a game.” But we wouldn’t want to include all the custom Warcraft 3 maps that were made as failed businesses, haha.

You don't, and neither does an adversary. That is literally the whole point of paying $50 for a Yubikey.
Hmm, interesting. I'm not from Texas but I have family who is. I'll listen for this one also.

I'm under the impression that the double negative is a relatively modern thing (early 1800's). Previously, repetition of the negative just reinforced it, like:

> I ain't never put syrup on my bacon on purpose

...just double-enphasized the negative, rather than letting the second negative negate the first. This feels similar except instead of stacking negations you're stacking separations.
You might care about that but do you think your sales team does?

Not at all. One phishing vector is: (On a phone call) "Hi, this is $your_bank, please go to your password manager, open the entry for $your_bank and read your password out loud to me on the phone, thank you!"

You can't read out a passkey, nor can you read out a challenge to somebody that they are to sign with their passkey, because it's not possible by design.
Yea, that'd be pretty swell. The only reason websites moved away from that was to "lower friction" - it's better for the consumers who end up buying the product if they know availability and pricing up front.
A lot of the arguments I'm seeing against passkeys are essentially that they are worse for power users who already have a password manager. But they're not mutually exclusive. I've been using bitwarden to store some passkeys. The UX is excellent. Everything is seamlessly synced across Linux, Android, and Windows.

I do worry a bit that using a passkey tends to disable MFA requirements, so basically anyone with access to my bitwarden vault can log into those services.

I assumed the goal was archiving games for preservation.

If the goal is algorithmic erasure of data rather than preservation of games, then “archive” might again create confusion like the type I probably have.

If there is a strong business case for deduplication, I recommend hiring a consultant with expertise and experience in the problem.

To be clear search is the only way to identify redundancy. If you have search, then redundancy is not a problem.
This seems like it's replying to a misunderstanding of their comment.

> A doctor "great at using ChatGPT" won't know how to check the results carefully if they've relied on ChatGPT for their entire education.

They didn't rely on ChatGPT for their education; they relied on ChatGPT for finishing homework. If they go over the generated essay and make sure it doesn't have any inaccuracies and they consistently do so correctly, what's the problem?
I appreciate that there's no mention of "AI" on the page. :)

Can this tool support mTLS? That's a feature of webhooks that's sometimes a little hard to use right.
a reverse IP lookup should give you a good estimate and you can always ask the user to enter their address for more accurate price.
That does change things though, it gives you a fair point of comparison.
