> During this time I hopefully remember to take my medication.

Hahaha oh man, I feel you on this! I have a 7 day pill organizer that I have found does wonders for my ability to #1 take my meds and also #2 have a visual reminder that I did, that I DONT HAVE TO REMEMBER. Nothing worse than being 3 hours into the day and being gripped with "OH SHIT I FORGOT MY MEDS".

Lately I have been on a kick where I do some plain greek yogurt, some fresh berries (whatevers good) and a healthy pile of granola. While prepping I try to keep them separate like a pie chart. I don't mix it all together per se but as I eat there's the most delicious venn diagram in the middle.

Lately I've had a strange obsession with instant coffee and sweetened condensed milk. Maybe not the highest quality but its so quick and easy when I have zero energy.

I really enjoy breakfast and the morning meal... the getting to work part not so much. Definitely more productive in the afternoon / evening, but breakfast makes the morning worth it.
Right, but with a low profit margin you get stagnation and monopolies.

No one is looking at absolute raw numbers, investors/owners usually only own small slices, so they care about what percentage return they get.
It's annexation when you declare it's part of your permanent holdings. That's totally separate from if you are holding it by force or not.

If an undiscovered, uninhabited island forms in international water, and some country claims it, if they want it in their permanent lands, they will annex it. There's not necessarily conflict or appropriation there.

The issue with annexation of Crimea or the Golan Heights is that the holding of the territory is by force, and annexation is an expression of intent to keep it, rather than simply occupy it on an indefinite but assumed temporary basis.
My guess is that when a ChatGPT search is initiated, by a user, it crawls the source directly instead of relying on OpenAI’s internal index, allowing it to check for fresh content. Each search result includes sources embedded within the response.

It’s possible this behavior isn’t explicitly coded by OpenAI but is instead determined by the AI itself based on its pre-training or configuration. If that’s the case, it would be quite ironic.
All my cameras use wired access to a dedicated VLAN with no access to any other compute/IOT devices.
I tried to pick a vendor that keeps the video camera footage in my country but that is something few vendors discuss and with the ubiquitous cheapness of AWS S3 it's hard to verify where your data is.
I also chose not to have any cameras inside the home as a privacy measure.
When using the web access tool I changed the default password and go through the users to remove people who no longer require access (house/pet/kid sitters)
Hiring in tech has been pretty awful even before AI.
While it is possible to build a consumer lightfield camera (Lytro was one example), they aren't as magical as you might think until you get much larger lens sizes than people are going to tolerate to get appreciable zoom range.

I did a bunch of manual creation of light-field photos over the years.[1] To get interesting compositions, you need an effective lens diameter of about 30 cm in diameter or more. To get super-resolution good enough for zoom, you're going to probably need something that size.

I don't self-host on a laptop but the client does save a lot offline including images. I assume it's just the "unread" content but I haven't actually looked into that.
> The process you describe above is highly vulnerable as Ponzi scheme. The goal would be to raise total revenues, to paint a certain financial picture to meet targets for cashing out before the high debt load and interest payments sink the ship.

Ah, my mistake. I thought that was meant to show a dictionary and brotli encoded string separately.
I use Claude because the model is indeed better, but having listened to John's podcast I know that he means that the experience of using OpenAI overall is better.
Is it really that much different than e.g. a cook preparing carrots while onions are being cooked? Nobody needed to invent this as far as my knowledge of history goes; so, maybe there really is nothing new under the sun :)

Joking aside, of course, the ingenuity lies in finding a fitting solution to problem at hand, as well as knowing how to apply it.
I wonder why this is getting downvoted as I've had this exact same thought.

A most efficient insurance program would be a closed loop.

Any leftover money not spent on care would be used to reduce premiums the following year and/or be saved for higher claim years.

I wonder how that could exist in the US? Perhaps these health sharing ministries are as close as we'll get: https://www.medishare.com/
Bitmap fonts can be scaled by integer factors without losing any crispness, and most high-DPI displays in common use today would look just fine with a 2x or 3x font upscale.
on the flip side, we also would not get immediate access to care (that is you can't attend a doctors appt within 72 hrs of scheduling)

Not true today in the US. It took me ~7 days to get an MRI of my hip. And have you tried getting into see an endocrinologist lately?
I love stuff like this. Thanks a lot!
SQLite write locking should be the poster-child of how to incorrectly implement concurrency in the absolute worst possible way.
And there's nothing wrong with that. If users don't have the will power to close and delete the app when faced with such a situation then that's on them. An adult has the right to decide that their privacy is worth a 50 cent discount off a shitty burger.
Can you initiate a conversation? My experience with WhatsApp is that if I don't give it access to contacts, other people have to initiate conversation. I cannot just tell it to start a chat with phone 123 456 7890 (this is on Android).

I guess it's debatable whether that's categorized as "it works" :>
Slightly offtopic but did we go to uni together and team up on a couple of demo compos and VJ some events? If so hey it's been ages and whats up? :D If not, cool name and stuff. :)
> So I pronounce SQLite sequelite.

This is by far the most popular pronunciation I’ve encountered, and I think by far the most practical one too.
If they have other ambitions, those ambitions haven't materialised yet. Selling decent hardware at a loss and profiting from hoovering up user data is all Facebook has accomplished with the Quest so far from what I can see.
ChatGPT isn't ten times better than Gemini or Claude, is it? Even if they magically released such a model, the competition would quickly catch up. The competition has similar or better resources.
I have zero faith that OpenAI respects attempts to block their scrapers
On work days, my routine is to get my coffee before anything else as much as possible, because I'm not good at falling asleep on time and often wake up groggy. I grind coffee and prepare the kettle the night before, so I have minimal work to do when I get up. While waiting for the coffee to finish dripping, I usually give my calendar/email a quick reading through, and if there's nothing requiring attention, I read some news.

Once the coffee is ready, I drink it while planning out the day (in a rough manner), basically moving stuff around in my calendar, turning some emails to tasks, etc. When I'm done planning, I get to work.

On non-work days, I sleep as much as I feel like, and no coffee, so as to avoid developing a caffeine tolerance.
It’s recommended to have at least two anyway, to still have access to your accounts in case one is lost. That means you can keep one key at your desktop and you’d only need to go up to get your keys when adding them to an account.
I've also been looking at the export, but I don't see any way to filter down to "Shooting incidents". Just sampling the first 10, 10% of 2000 is looking like way less.

Were you able to find a way to validate the 900 number?

One of my websites was absolutely destroyed by Meta's AI bot: Meta-ExternalAgent https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/webmasters/web-...

It seems a bit naive for some reason and doesn't do performance back-off the way I would expect from Google Bot. It just kept repeatedly requesting more and more until my server crashed, then it would back off for a minute and then request more again.

My solution was to add a Cloudflare rule to block requests from their User-Agent. I also added more nofollow rules to links and a robots.txt but those are just suggestions and some bots seem to ignore them.

Cloudflare also has a feature to block known AI bots and even suspected AI bots: https://blog.cloudflare.com/declaring-your-aindependence-blo... As much as I dislike Cloudflare centralization, this was a super convenient feature.
This was 2004. I think that PINs on SIM cards were uncommon.

In the video that I watched, it worked 2x in a row.
Spotify does not have a trademark on rss podcast delivery. RSS feeds have historically been the primary delivery method for podcasts and it long predates Spotify and the JRE. Many of the most popular or historically significant primarily used RSS: Serial, This American Life, Stuff You Should Know—the list goes on and on. Some podcasts are distributed via video, but even many of those also have a corresponding rss feed for the audio version.

Here’s the rss feed for Joe Rogan
https://feeds.megaphone.fm/GLT1412515089

If you use a podcast app today, it is guaranteed to be primarily fetching from RSS feeds.

I’m pretty sure the kind of insulting rhetoric you’re using is against the rules here. You may prefer Reddit for starting those kinds of arguments.
Practically anyone can own a shotgun in the UK, which also has restrictive gun laws. There has only ever been one school shooting (and the guy responsible owned his weapons completely legally).

What I'm saying is that gun control won't solve the problem, but it will help.
Yeah, duh if it's in a restricted area. That's not what the drone hysteria is about.

> Many of the drone-downing systems do not permanently destroy it.

Uhh yeah if a consumer grade drone falls 300 feet out of the sky then yes it's destroyed.
ooh very interesting , could you share the link ?

I am interested in a thing where the whole programming language / program stack and everything is stored in the memory so you can have a language where it can run from where it was paused , inspired by some comment on some other hackernews thread . I had spent some of my weekends trying it but no use
Wake up, shower & toothbrushing, out.
FFS. Unhoused is a subset of homeless people. Many homeless people have some kind of shelter. Couch surfing, vehicles, etc. IIRC, unhoused specifically means sleeping rough, eg outdoors.

These distinctions are being made because

silver bullet policies are failing,

most laypersons equate homelessness with the visibly unhoused,

and the homeless population is much bigger than just the unhoused.

For a bunch of pendantic nerds who debate the finer points of type systems, the emotional rejection of an ontology meant to foster better policy is rather bewildering.
> This is one of the drivers of cost disease...

The ACA (with this new 80/20 provision) passed in 2010.

Costs have been on a steady upward march (yes, adjusted for inflation) since the 1970s. https://www.healthsystemtracker.org/chart-collection/u-s-spe...

The "Average annual growth rate of GDP per capita and total national health spending per capita, 1970-2023" chart even shows the 2020s as the first decade with lower increases in healthcare spending than corresponding GDP growth.

This theory seems... unlikely as a result. (Cost disease itself is certainly an issue; I merely very much doubt its attribution to this particular provision. Obama didn't have a time machine.)
That’s not how I read your use of signal in the broader context.

Putting people on lists for who they follow is a growing trend and it’s pretty clear in Bluesky culture that many people actually believe following someone implies some kind of support for that person and “taints” the follower somehow. This goes alongside a host of problematic behaviors ranging from all-or-nothing thinking “if you’re not with us you’re against us” to simple bad faith.

My goal isn’t to argue here, but to understand and clarify what you meant.

It sounds like you didn’t literally mean that on an individual basis, following someone strongly indicates their values, but that in the aggregate (due to the current social climate), it’s more likely they won’t follow people they disagree with.

I don’t think this is just a matter of semantics given the context, but a necessary clarification.

In the affluent neighborhoods example, there’s no call to action (block people), the situation isn’t a highly charged issue in the cultural zeitgeist, and there aren’t a lot of reasons someone would interpret that example in some other way.

The same is not true for the current social media climate.
All of that is evidence of the ineffectiveness of government bureaucracies. You’re describing the way things work today. I’m saying the way it works is broken and needs to change. Allowing claims that salmon or water is healthy shouldn’t take long.
No they don't. It is literally impossible to create competitors for Apple's native apps and companion devices/accessories no matter how many permission prompts the user approves. That is what this entire complaint is about.
My reading comprehension. Oops.

There are some good points regarding policy, like if there are anti smoking policies then suicide risk is lower.

I think there are two kinds: chill balanced smokers and smokers who think it is bad for them and use it to show slow suicide. So I am not surprised smoker suicide rates are higher. Anti smoking policies reducing suicide is interesting. could be preventing a mild suicide from starting helps it not graduate to more serious. Mental health decline after starting smoking != mental health decline from nicotine, I bet it is real and big part of it is nicotine but doing daily and visibly something much of society frowns upon probably "helps". And also just knowing that you are killing yourself, if you are that kind of smoker

Them saying that drugs can cause depression is basically saying nothing (basically same as "not using drugs can cause depression").

It's confusing that Serbia beats almost everyone by amount of smokers, it is the most smoke filled place I visited but it is not even in the top in https://www.wcrf.org/preventing-cancer/cancer-statistics/lun......
My testing has been very limited, so I don't want to opine too much. If anyone has a differing opinion based on more testing, please share, I'm interested!
When I was taking undergrad EE classes, I don’t recall it ever coming up. I think people’s comfort with and intuition for electricity are at least as good as for water, which actually behaves in deeply unintuitive ways. We’ve been living with switches and toaster ovens for generations now, people understand resistance, voltage, and current just fine on their own terms. Or at least, water analogies don’t help because people don’t understand water any better.
Citation? I think this is not true. The EU law seems to just require explicit consent. So websites and apps can ask whether user wants to share data to keep using them for free or pay a subscription fee.
I remember hearing an interview with Richard Hipp where he said he pronounced it as you do ("rhymes with kryptonite" I think he may have said, or perhaps "like a mineral").

I'd always pronounced it in my head S-Q-L-Lite up until that point, but I much prefer this other way that I'd never considered. It rolls off the tongue easier and adds a bit of fancy.
Nooo don't double leverage, hedge your bet by betting you won't get out of debt :)
I exclude all the published LLM User-Agents and have a content honeypot on my website. Google obeys, but ChatGPT and Bing still clearly know the content of the honeypot.
I ended up with a similar problem. We replaced the data with a simple binary serialization format, gzip’ed that, and then base64 encoded the gzipped data. It’s far from perfect but it was 250x saving in our case making it go from “stupidly large” to “we don’t care” with an hours work.
It’s illegal, and has been for many decades. It’s not enforced nearly as often or as strictly as it should be.
In the same way Biden created the inflation, yes. Never mind the huge event that happened 4-5 years prior.

Hey this looks pretty amazing, congrats on the research. The article doesn’t seem to explain much though and the papers are pay-walled(?) so my question is how were these discovered only now and not noticed before?
What I don’t understand is how can they ransack through unlisted and private videos?
You can also select the language in the top right menu. If your selection matches the video, it's not translated.
XDP receives packets before the network stack does, but not before the kernel; in almost all cases, it's just a hook to process packets off the DMA buffer. None of this matters; the kernel controls XDP; not only that, but there's nothing an XDP program can do without rendezvousing back through the kernel.

With LLM based compression, could we get something like the opposite of lossless, like hallucinatory? All the original content, plus more?
I have never heard anything else but S-Q-L, in multiple workplaces. What I was new to databases I started with the history lesson, but was quickly corrected to pronounce it S-Q-L.

From a technical perspective it is fascinating. But in practice, does a Pentium I machine have any other use than installing Win95/98 on it, and doing some authentic retro gaming? It uses a lot of power (compared to a Rpi3, which in turn is much faster), it barely has any ports that would be usable today (I would be very surprised if it had any USB. Even PS2 would be bleeding edge.), its HDD slower than a Class10 Micro SD card...
Like many here, my first thought was "telephoto is just a crop of a wide-angle, so what are they bragging about?" Here's my speculation:

Most lenses are "distortion corrected" because they assume they will be displayed on a flat surface. A little explanation for those not familiar: When you take a picture of a brick wall with your camera parallel to the wall, notice that the bricks on the edge of the photo are the same size as the ones in the center, even though the edge bricks are further away from the camera. This means more pixels are allocated per degree of view near the edge of the field-of-view than at the center.

An "uncorrected" lens is basically what we would call a "fish-eye" lens. Here (ideally) the same number of pixels are in a one-degree circle in the center of the field-of-view as are in a one-degree circle near the edge.

I don't think they would crow about just using an "uncorrected" lens either, so I'm going to guess that this is a "reverse-corrected" lens system where a one-degree circle in the center gets more pixels than it would at the edge. This would be the obvious approach if they want a good center crop but want to capture all the periphery as well.
It's possible that the RFK thing is driving some urgency, but the timeline is broadly in line with their stated goals from their 2016 to 2025 strategic plan. They started this whole process with public consultation in 2017, and released the proposed plan back in 2022.
I imagine these companies today are curing their data with LLMs, this stuff isn't going to do anything.
QECO: A QoE-Oriented Offloading Algorithm Based on DRL for Edge Computing
Overview:

QECO is designed to balance and prioritize QoE factors based on individual mobile device requirements while considering the dynamic workloads at the edge nodes. The QECO algorithm captures the dynamics of the MEC environment by integrating the Dueling Double Deep Q-Network (D3QN) model with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks. This algorithm address the QoE maximization problem by efficiently utilizing resources from both MDs and ENs.

D3QN: By integrating both double Q-learning and dueling network architectures, D3QN overcomes overestimation bias in action-value predictions and accurately identifies the relative importance of states and actions. This improves the model’s ability to make accurate predictions, providing a foundation for enhanced offloading strategies.

LSTM: Incorporating LSTM networks allows the model to continuously estimate dynamic work- loads at edge servers. This is crucial for dealing with limited global information and adapting to the uncertain MEC environment with multiple MDs and ENs. By predicting the future workload of edge servers, MDs can effectively adjust their offloading strategies to achieve higher QoE.
I switched my prescriptions from Walgreens to Safeway. Better service on medications and better selection of other stuff.
Issues of what constitutes a "school shooting" aside, my personal experience with GVA is that their database contains duplicate incidents and they will not actually correct those errors when pointed out.
I can “enter a phone number to start a new chat” on iOS, with a big warning about contacts on top.
After years of using only laptop keyboards and the Microsoft Sculpt keyboard (which looks and feels like a laptop keyboard on a desk), I could not get comfortable with standard mechanical keyboard travel lengths again.

I picked up a Keychron K15 Pro[1] and have found the low profile keys and travel easy to adapt to. Recommend you give one of theirs (or maybe someone else's) low profile keyboards a try.

Simulation results reveal that compared to the state-of-the-art existing works, QECO increases the number of completed tasks by up to 14.4%, while simultaneously reducing task delay and energy consumption by 9.2% and 6.3%, respectively. Together, these improvements result in a significant average QoE enhancement of 37.1%. This substantial improvement is achieved by accurately accounting for user dynamics and edge server workloads when making intelligent offloading decisions.
The questions that I like to ask first when comparing systems to the US is, what is Denmark doing to reduce/prevent obesity and drug use, and what does elder care look like? There are certainly things that could change in the system, and it would be great to see what practices other countries have for some of our biggest cost drivers.
I wish you posted more evaluation details on your page as text. What exactly was your accuracy vs. Sonnet? (Right now, we can only tell that Sonnet's was ≤ 1/4.3.) Why the Discourse repo? Providing more detailed information would help folks trust your claims more.
I said in some areas of Barcelona which is true. Now somebody did the Simpson's paradox using the whole data set instead of conditional data, leading to a different result.
