Unless there's a technical issue that makes you either unable to prove it, or makes the data say you were at fault.

Look at the thread about the UK Post Office and how many people were wrongfully convicted based on "technical issues".

Through all of this, has there been discussion about how WordPress is "freeloading" off of PHP, MySQL, etc.?
> WordPress.org is way too big to be a one-man show

Big productions still have a director. The point is Mullenweg--not Automattic--has control.
Groovy and Scala already did that way before Kotlin.
I assumed that has already been happening. I see tons of all capital letter 5 or 6 letter “artists” in Apple Music infinite playlist.

There are also websites and apps like Suno that make whatever you want on the fly.
this entire thread is a lot of today i learned :)
Yeah, it would be just as correct to say the model is actually misaligned and not explicitly deceitful.

Now the real question is how to distinguish between the two. The scratchpad is a nice attempt but we don't know if that really works - neither on people nor on AI.
A sufficiently clever liar would deceive even there.
Why -> because if someone caused an accident I'd want to look them in the eyes and call them names; as opposed to calling a support number. If these vehicles were among the best drivers, at least I could live with it maybe. Emotions are real, you cannot always rationalize them away.

Average drivers sometimes end up in jail for their mistakes. If Waymo made those same mistakes, guess what will happen.
I would love to listen to your music. Can you name it?

Alexa is probably a cool billion under or something. They never figured out how to make money with it.
Uh that's a pretty far leap from the practically libelous claim that he stalked somebody. From reading this source it sounds more like the drama spilled over from Tumblr to Twitter, that's hardly stalking in my book.

Also they were banned for wishing death on Matt, “a forever painful death involving a car covered in hammers that explodes more than a few times and hammers go flying everywhere.”

You should reread the comments you have replied to, as you clearly haven't understood what was written.

A law would be fairly simple — it would forbid a marketplace or retailer from influencing the price of goods sold outside their marketplace/shop.

There are already laws regulating pricing in some places, e.g. selling below the manufacturer's recommended retail price, or preventing selling products below cost to attract customers.

There's this from California: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32866055 (I haven't read it, I'm not that interested.)
It couldn't matter less whose "side" you are on is kind of the point.

You could like Matt and think he's basically right about freeloaders, yet you would still be horrified and absolutely powerless as you watch him shred his once-whole community into halves, then quarters, then eighths as he doubles down and doubles down some more...
Thanks for the term as well ("zipper merge") — that's what I was referring to.

Yeah, I really wonder how it'd fare in that case while differentiating between "there are just 3 cars there, no need to yield" and "it's an infinite inflow of traffic, better yield to one car"?
I grew up in a combination of the USA and New Zealand, so I was raised in democracy of multiple varieties. The US's version is nowhere near as good as NZ's.

Political systems don't define my worldview, though; they largely exist in the background for me. This is probably because I've never had to worry about a political system killing me before. Trump's ascendancy may change that, but for the time being, it's still just noise.

Capitalism and whatever variation of communism that the USSR had are not the only ways to organize society. Even the USA doesn't have pure capitalism; if it did, there would be no government regulations whatsoever.

Given that, I'm curious about why you focus on currency as such a central driving metric for everything. I don't believe it's just because of political background. What else might make money so important for you?
Well that is some well documented code, and no mistake.

It keeps mentioning a Cougar ship type, but I don't remember them in the game?
I don't think there's a difference between the two, even if it was WordPress Foundation who claimed control, it's all Mullenweg's for-profit company that performs the work because Mullenweg's employees are all Automattic, and Mullenweg is at the head of all of it.
I was thinking more of the Reagan years but you’re right that the boomers didn’t start the war on drugs.

> One should regularly examine one's prejudices.

Yeah that was my point too.
I think views are mostly uniform around here. Matt had a few valid points but they are overall meritless. WPE would have been nice to contribute more, but they are absolutely not required to. Rug-pulling an open-source project and making defamation like this is a very dangerous example, and as we will see, also illegal. Would be interested in your arguments, I haven't read much if any in his support.
What? I was absolutely talking about human cyclists and pedestrians needing to know that the machine sees the human, and not by blind faith, but through some active explicit demonstrable indication.
Nutype is a proc macro that allows adding extra constraints like sanitization and validation to the regular newtype pattern. The generated code makes it impossible to instantiate a value without passing the checks. It works this way even with serde deserialization.
Nice rhetorical trick. It's not a matter of "more perfect".

The bad outweighs the good, plain and simple, and only those who are extremely naive or stand to gain from it refuse to acknowledge it.
Historically an upgrade could cause issues if the code or dependencies used undocumented functionality (like Byte code manipulation) or calls to native code, or the transitions to modules in v9. Upgrades after version 11 should be less "risky" and be easier to argue to management.

From what I can tell, there are 4 main reasons why some don't upgrade.

1. They have legacy software and are afraid of breaking it, sometimes with good reasons.

2. The devs don't know or care enough about the new versions to bother with it. Noone is promoted because of an upgrade. Work to live, and don't live to work

3. The ones who don't have buy in from management to spend time fixing something that works

4. They are using version 11+ that should be much safer to upgrade than earlier versions, but they are still in the mindset of 1 or 2 above

There have been huge improvements not only in the language itself, but also performance and memory use. They could save money if they upgrade, but in some cases this is acceptable because they can make more money by spending time on a new feature, than an upgrade.

In my last 3 workplaces, they usually tried to use the latest LTS versions. But to be honest, some of the services were in maintenance mode and we didn't get enough benefits to upgrade, so we were sometimes falling behind. Today we have a mix of v17 and v21. Anyone can upgrade anytime they want but noone cares about a service that you seldom work with. I feel kind of bad for that, but not enough to bother. I focus mainly on the services that I work with daily, and make sure they are using the latest versions
Geniunely curious, what are these annoyances? I only started using Linux (Ubuntu) around 2013 so I might miss most of these issues. Tho I'm still dual-booting Windows cuz of an old game with anti-cheat that refuses to run on Wine.
It's harder to do that online

that is unfortunately true. the only way to deal with that though in my opinion is to not engage people like that online. when i get the feeling that this happens i bail out. it's not worth my time.
Deployment freezes are (should be) completely normal and justifiable.

Do you really think that Amazon is deploying (non-emergency/operational) code changes during BFCM or re:Invent? Or that Fox/CBS/NBC are deploying code changes during the Super Bowl?

Also (unless you have some business need to deploy before the weekend) why deploy on a Friday afternoon? You're just asking for latent defects to page you in over the weekend. Save yourself the trouble and delay that deployment till Monday morning. Your team will thank you in the long run.

Sometimes repetitional and/or sleep damage isn't worth being uncompromising on idyllic CI/CD goals.
Especially when you have WSL

That is my point: there isn’t a technological barrier. It is a business one.

If you made Infinity Blade and put it on the web today what would you get in return for your efforts? Complaints about how it runs better on newer devices than some six year old low end Android running Firefox, and people trying to hack it to change the assets and repackage it on crazygames.

You definitely would not recover your dev cost.
“The winner of a game of chess is he who makes the last mistake but one.” - Probably Lasker but people often attribute this quote to Tartekower[1]

Ding won the WCC due to a terrible blunder by Nepomniachi. Good as he was Fischer blundered his bishop like a patzer during his WCC match against Spassky and came back to win the match. Chess games between humans are generally decided by somebody making a mistake. Is that luck?

Of course not. To put himself in a position to benefit from that luck he had to play extremely well for the entire match so that it would be even going into the last game.

It is in-game, but it is astonishingly rare. Specifically, there is a 0.011% chance of spawning a Cougar during each ship spawning routine, which is around 1 in 9000 ship spawnings

And it's got a cloaking device so it doesn't appear on your scanner.

Anyone who has genuinely seen one of these in-game is a really lucky commander!

Since you are completely removing at least 1 human from potential bodily injury claims, wouldn't you need a greater than 100% reduction in bodily injury claims in order for this to be better?

I mean when you are literally removing 1 person from possible injury, you literally can't have the same number of bodily injury claims. It can only be less.
Running games was the only thing holding me back. I was surprised how far Linux has come. 95% of my work is done in a browser, so I can't comment on any software dependencies.
It is interesting that at the lowest levels everything in fact is analog, only turning 'digital' on subjective decisions defining as such.
Yes, that's one of the most important success of the tool. Being in rust, it is completely independent from the Python setup, and therefore it doesn't care if you botched it. And with the indy greg build, it can even avoid the pyenv pitfall of compiling on your machine on linux.
Interesting point. Now what if the thing is just much simpler and its model directly disassociates different situations for sake of accuracy? It might not even have any intentionality, just statistics.

So the problem would be akin to having the AI say what we want to hear, which unsurprisingly is a main training objective.

It would talk racism to a racist prompt, and would not do so to a researcher faking a racist prompt if it can discern them.
I don't see how making browsers less forgiving would reduce drive-by ransomware. I don't think most browser vulnerabilities are related to the web being forgiving.

You can also do that with human drivers and it will work for a while. The question is how often it doesn't work. A single person driving in front of a Waymo a couple of times can't determine that with any statistical significance.
I feel like I saw a self driving concept in the last few years where the headlights had eyes that could appear to be looking at you to signal that it was aware of your presence?
That’s funny. I do the exact same thing, and I’m about to do it again. I believe the problem with Linux is that it’s being worked on by Linux guys.

Going to take a look at integrating this later, along with nbagent [1]. I have a 'dark mode' open source project with a few collaborators, many tasks and no good way to currently organise them.

One change I think I'll need to make is prettify the export of .nbx (JSON) so that git diffs perform better. Hopefully nbagent can keep the data synced as the board is updated.

Neither does Singal.

He wrote some thoughtful and well-researched articles on medical malpractice, and this mob descended on him with death threats and other abusive and violent vitriol, simply because they didn't like the conclusions he reached from his investigations, and that he was publicly expressing these to a broad audience.

Then again, then someone's entire world view rests on what is fundamentally a lie, perhaps it's not surprising to see such excessive reactions when reality is exposed. Not that this is any excuse of course.
I'm also very excited. I've had some ESP32 microphones before, but they were not really able to understand the wake word, sometimes even when it was quiet and you were sitting next to the mic.

This one looks like it can recognize your voice very well, even when music is playing.

Because... when it works, it's amazing. You get that Star Trek wake word (KHUM-PUTER!), you can connect your favorite LLM to it (ChatGPT, Claude Sonnet, Ollama), you can control your home automation with it and it's as private as you want.

To me, most of the annoyances are with the unpolished UI. No matter what desktop environment you use, it’s still 15 years behind Windows.
Same here. The only thing I do to avoid trouble is to stick to the average business laptop setting for laptops and tower servers for my desktops. I've been trouble free since the early 2000's.
It is not possible for me to see you in your car with any sort of reliability; even if I could the benefits are dubious and again, unreliable.

Looking at your car is all I need anyway - I can tell if you've seen me by your behavior, you're either slowing down to yield to me or you're not. If you're not, the only possible outcome of knowing you're seeing me is being misled into stepping into your path of travel.

Discrete logic is actually hard, even in a fuzzy form. As such, most humans operate in truthiness and heuristics.

Not sure if I understand your argument. Is it the following: "epic hip hop bangers 1-13 and 15-23" are the boring millionth replay of all the genre-defining tracks of the past 40 years, and only tracks 14 and 24 are the precious new finds? If that is the argument, I totally agree.

There are plenty places in embedded where the toolchains exist only for Windows.
High level packages generally have much more users hence their inherent complexity is somewhat looked after by their users. Also curl has only a small user API, but once you consider implicit certificate store that is passed with every request and it’s countless variations it is in a sense untestable.

On the other hand libraries for hashes, encryptions, cryptographic groups, pseudorandom number generators are much more testable on their own. One can take specs and other engineered tests and check that inputs corespond to outputs. The rest is solved via memory safe languages and common sense of not having tests commented out or made special cases for them.

> How do you select a library in an area you are not familiar with?

By either having popularity or by being able to read the code and seeing that there are clear expectations communicated to the user via API or documentation. I wouldn’t consider security much when chosing user facing libraries much, but for network facing libraries popularity would be essential to me.

> All of them would be fixed if people just kept packages bigger, so that every one has actual CI, release team, and so on.

A bunch of small libraries can still be maintained by a large organization. It does not make difference if the are installed seperatelly. However modularity does add the benefit of being able to break into complexity to contributue and also gives more transparency for new users who can see what parts of the library are actually widely tested in the production and which are not and need more care.

Regarding xz, the lesson here is that one should not use programming languages where it’s limitations are deferred to preprocessors and complex build systems that only few can read. Similarly lesson from Log4j is that readability and language base features like string interpolation is much more preferable to having simply popularity.
My Waymo ride was in LA. They aren’t operating on freeways there yet. Maybe this is one of the challenges.

Apparently they do operate on freeways in San Francisco so maybe someone who has taken a ride there can share their experience.

Performance under WSL can be atrocious depending on which side of the machine your files live. It's OK if they are on the Linux side, but if they are on the Windows side, you'll access them as a network mounted file share. Not great if you open/close lots of files.
Pros of Organic Maps compared to OsmAnd -

* Rendering and routing are faster (especially noticeable on older devices)

* Renders 3D buildings

* Far smpler UI, so it's hard for tech-illiterate users to get stuck

* Changes made with the Organic Maps editor become visible in your Organic Maps immediately. In OsmAnd, your edits vanish upon upload, and only appear once there is a map update - this can be as early as in one hour (using OsmAnd Live), or as late as one month.

* Organic Maps is less buggy.

Cons of Organic Maps compared to OsmAnd -

* OsmAnd has far more features, like bus or share taxi routing, aerial imagery, 3D relief, analysis of GPS tracks, radius ruler, etc

* OsmAnd can render a lot more data like street surface, smoothness, access restrictions, lighting, features with FIXME tags, OSM notes, etc.

* Organic Maps only updates data once a month. OsmAnd updates data monthly too, but also has the OsmAnd Live feature to update data every hour.

* OsmAnd's editor supports adding arbitrary keys, whereas Organic Maps' does not.
