I have an Asus RT-AC68U that I bought ages ago that's still getting regular first-party firmware updates (plus the ones from Merlin). Currently using ISP-provided hardware, but given my past experience I'd definitely look at Asus as an option if I needed a new router.
A lot of homeless people actually don't have a home. They do not live on the streets. They live on couches at friends houses, typically for short-ish periods of time. They don't have something you'd actually call a home. They just have short term living arrangements such that they're not actually on the streets.

So those would actually describe different things. Not everyone uses them consistently either tho to make things more confusing ;)
If I hear homeless I hear "home" + "no". If I hear unhoused I hear "no" + "house". To me they are the same. Also why when someone says "the X word" and I have to hear it in my head I don't get their point, for all practical results you still said it as I now have it in my mind - BTW I'm not advocating for saying the word, just don't say it at all though. Language is tough man, maybe it's because I'm not a native speaker.

I don't know either. To me (an orthodox christian) the filioque seems like a post hoc justification for a schism that was already well underway if not inevitable. By 1054 what became the two churches had already clearly differentiated religious traditions, local saints, and liturgical practices with very little interchange between them, not to mention language, governance, and secular culture.

I have heard some fairly convincing (to a lay person) discussion between orthodox and catholic scholars that the filioque is potentially resolvable as a linguistic problem yes. But it's not worth really pursuing without a solution for the bigger issue of papal primacy. I don't know anyone who claims to have a viable path to reconciliation there. Plus, you know, the thousand years of mutual distrust and enmity.

I've heard this story dozens of times now.
Even in protestant churches like the Presbyterians and the Methodists you will hear references to the "Catholic Church" where it refers to the universal church that is inclusive all all believers regardless of denomination. For example in shows up in the Nicene Creed and the Apostles Creed.

The employer provided $4000 and the $2000 are both "your money" because if you didn't have any medical expenses, you'd be able to keep $6000 in your HSA. As a consumer of healthcare you'll try to protect this money, which means you're more likely to question unnecessary services and overcharges.
I somewhat understand the reasoning for #2, though. Hospitals are charging insane prices. Perhaps prices are high because hospitals aim to keep the price profitable when it's negotiated lower with the insurance agency, but I fear that it's more because they feel they can do it because people's lives are at stake. Having the insurance agency step in and prevent hospitals from fleecing customers may actually be a benefit, though perhaps agencies have become corrupted and just as profit-seeking as the hospitals. I'm just not convinced that removing insurance agencies would suddenly lower prices.

Covid-19 pandemic supply chain issues caused prices to surge to meet the new costs, but when those issues were resolved, prices remained high because people absorbed the costs and the companies saw no reason to lower them after realizing incredible profit growth. I wonder if we would see the same problem if we removed insurance agencies without regulating the hospitals: with the powerful middle management of insurance agencies gone, hospitals would wield incredible billing power over individuals, who might end up seeing higher bills from their hospital visits.

I don't mean to advocate for things to stay the same; I definitely think things need to be changed. I just don't see the insurance agencies as the problem in the system, in that their removal would repair the majority of our billing issues. I instead see them as potentially a target of a lot of our grievances without actually potentially being the cause of every one of them.

> In 1949, Wisconsin-based Nash Motors became the first car company to offer them as an additional feature. Almost no one asked for them. In 1968, when seat belts became standard equipment, some drivers responded by cutting them out of their vehicles. In 1982, when Michigan State Rep. David Hollister introduced a state seat belt law, he received hate mail comparing him to Hitler. The reception to such laws in other states was similarly cool. In the 1980s, only 14% of all Americans used seat belts.

So, yeah, without the law there's no seatbelt on your car.

Your POV is valid here - that's why I tried to say "for many people," because I know not everyone would have the same reaction. I do think that a native speaker would pick up more on these connotations.
> we're talking about a coastal home, well outside of any 100-year sea-level rise risk, where peak temperatures in the summer are typically in the 65 F

If you're talking about a coastal California home, the risk you're facing is the overall risk across California as a whole. The California insurance regulator is requiring insurers to continue to offer coverage in fire-prone areas in addition to fire-rare areas. All insurance products are based on statistical averages. This is a question of what homes are included in that statistical average. If insurers are required to offer products to customers in fire-prone areas, then insurers need to include statistics on fire-prone area homes when pricing for all other homes.

If California changes its rules and stops requiring insurers to offer insurance in fire-prone areas, huge regions of California would become uninsurable for fire, which means mortgages cease to be available in those regions, which means housing prices collapse, which means politicians and the state insurance regulator get voted out of office.

For elected officials, if the choice is whether to have all non-fire-area homeowners somewhat pissed or to have all fire-area homeowners carrying pitchforks into the legislature, they'll take the somewhat pissed option every time.

I don't mind the classification that "machine learning equals AI plus time". To me, AI is any surprisingly effective use of machine learning. As time goes by we expect more, but you'd have to be the most cynical curmudgeon in the world not to look at the last 15-20 years and be amazed at what we've achieved. But that doesn't mean that anything short of AGI now will fail to justify the hype. I'm not going to begrudge the hype if self-driving cars roll out to more countries, or if I get a robot doing household chores in 10 years time.
I suppose the issue is really the risk; attacks on infrastructure need to route over networks; even a completely vulnerability ridden machine isn't a risk if it isn't reachable from the net (inbound or outbound).

Routers as the gateways into all sorts of networks, and they see/control all of the traffic in and out and often between devices on the network; they're a critical junction.

Top Marine says combat experience gives US the edge over China's military
>No one is born knowing how to speak or anything about their culture.

Not really the point though. Humans learn about their culture then evolve it so that a new culture emerges. To show an LLM evolving a culture of its own, you would need to show it having invented its own slang or way of putting things. As long as it is producing things humans would say it is reflecting human culture not inventing its own.
they mean "bonafide job offer". What is happening right now is staffing agencies (mainly in India) mass file H1B applications for all their staff, and then once they get picked in the lottery, they find assignments in the US and file the entire petition after. This heavily disadvantages non-staffing companies who file H1Bs for their staff outside the country or those in the US on F1 visas for actual jobs.

This change is meant to close that loophole. This used to not be a problem, because you had to file the entire petition BEFORE you enter the lottery, but now you just pay some nominal fee and get your name in, leading to a highly profitable situation for staffing companies.
I recently had a phone with a bunch of passkeys on it die unexpectedly. I didn't spend weeks resetting passkeys. I just logged into things with my hardware token on my keyring until all the sites I cared to use on my phone had fresh passkeys.

Or if my keyring was in the other room, I'd use the passkey on my laptop or desktop.

This was literally the case when we look at history surrounding Jim Crowe laws. They were purpose built to disenfranchise. You always have to wonder what the actual intent of a given law is. The incentive to work in an ulterior motive within the text is always going to be there. And we have not designed a system to be robust to that. Most we can do is attempt to pass yet another law that might rectify the “bad” one but that one itself might be filled with bullshit. Pork barrel politics is a real phenomenon and a side effect of our legal system.
I agree with everything you've written in this comment.

I'd like to split a hair here and say, this is a "Go's standard library" problem, and not a "Go language" problem.

Good API design for a software package should have proper error semantics.

Good API design for a language, allows for flexibility in actual implementation, alongside standards that say "you SHOULD do this".
“investigators believe that TP-Link routinely fails to address vulnerabilities in its products that are shipped to customers who use the routers for both home and business purposes” good luck finding someone which is able to adress this issue and can deliver the same amount of devices in the price range.

Sounds like they want to apply pressure to TP-Link so they start to fix more and faster.
Oh, I'm sorry I must not have been super clear.

That Rome did censuses and kept detailed records of the censuses is not in dispute. The thing that never happened is people making long trips to the ancestral lands.

The entire point of a census is to get an accurate population count for reasons of taxation and public spending. People uprooting to go to grandpa's home to be counted messes with that count. It's counter productive. Rome would never have required this and in fact would have tried to restrict travel during the census because they wanted an accurate population count.

The much more likely explanation is the author of Luke needed Jesus to be born in Bethlehem, which was problematic because Jesus was well known to be from Nazareth.

Here's a good article detailing those problems:

A few notes on Power-Of-Two-Choices (Po2C) which is part of the solution described in the paper.

NGINX appears to have Po2C available as an option on the "random" balancing algorithm. [1] It only considers load (requests in flight), unlike the paper which also considers recent latency (and does many other things).

However NGINX "Plus" (the paid version) appears to have a couple additional settings that use actual traffic as latency probes (not asynchronous synthetic probes as described in the paper). [also 1] It's not fully clear to me but I think if you use these options it's going to only use latency, not load. The paper described in this post actually uses both load (RIF) and latency. Eager to try these out.

Also, I noted that HAProxy author and kernel maintainer Willy Tarreau wrote an article in 2019 about adding Power-of-two-choices to HAProxy. [2] He builds a test bed with a few micro services and compares several balancing algorithms to Po2C, considering response time, throughput, and max load.

One conclusion is that "At the very least, Power of Two is always better than Random. So, we decided to change the default number of draws for the Random algorithm from one to two, matching Power of Two." However, in the response time data, the test appears to consider only average response time. I would love to see the p90 and p99 tail latency of these tests. The main focus of the paper in this post is minimizing p90/99, not average latency.

Tarreau also helpfully provides links to both a 2001 research report by Mitzenmacher, Richa & Sitaraman and also the original 1996 Po2C PhD thesis by Mitzenmacher.

Can anyone who has a real world hands on experiential understanding of the banking system explain to me what exactly bank “capital” is? I’m well aware reserve requirements aren’t a thing anymore and that bank capital is different.

I would find it rather amusing if other banks’ liabilities can somehow be defined as a bank’s capital, because it would mean bank capitalization in aggregate is really just banks expanding their balance sheets. This in turn would suggest that it’s mainly, from an outcomes perspective, about allowing the major banks to dictate to the smaller ones by the former conditionally refusing to expand their own balance sheets to coerce the latter.
Dummy silicon, in the same way as the majority of Leonardo's Mona Lisa is dummy wood panel (which supports the painting applied on top of it and ensures its structural integrity)? But how is this different from other chips out there? Ok, I get it that this is because of the chiplet technology used, but in a "traditional" chip the dummy silicon that provides the structural integrity would just be part of the chip, while in this case it's separate?
> When the widget you built for me breaks and damages my customer and I end up owing them €1m, I want to be able to recoup at least some of that cost from you.

I'm not sure that follows.

I build something, send it to you. You integrate it, test it, make it production-ready, and ship it. If something breaks in testing, that's pretty normal, and it would be on me to fix -- and presumably contractual agreements would preclude damages at that stage.

If something breaks after you ship it to your own customer, that really ain't my responsibility. If you try to make it my responsibility, it would be a matter for the courts and not a matter for insurance. If you're looking for a quick payout from insurance, or if you think that insurance companies are less motivated to defend claims in court, that's reasonable -- but it's by no means necessary, and certainly not a social good. Insurance sets up incentive problems that ought to be avoided.
The scam, and the term to describe it, is believed to have started in China, so the phrase is not American.
You get downvoted but I believe it’s absolutely the truth.

However, the majority of Americans don’t see themselves as being exploited, they have been so brainwashed in my view that they operate against their self-interest.

They identify more with celebrity millionaires than the bum in the street, although they are just one medical bill away from becoming a bum too.

Meanwhile the Democrats are just as beholden to the capitalists unfortunately and now the capitalist will fully take over society. Maybe a CEO or two could fall, but that will only be the excuse to accelerate the surveillance state the USA will become.
