Good people don’t tell you to hate, sure?

They do tell you to take care of yourself and to protect yourself. That some people are evil and should be stopped.

Bad people sound like good people and use different words to achieve the same goals.
Share at will, as professional, I am the first to chose C or Go if that is what the customer requires.

It is the customer and their happiness to the service that matters, not what programming languages I enjoy using.

Something that more people should actually think about, instead of proposing rewrites and then leaving when it isn't fun any longer.
I’m surprised this doesn’t place more emphasis on self-supervised learning through exploration. Is human-labeled datasets really the SOTA approach for robotics?
just 2piR and then extra h change the result very little fraction. How is that

I have memory off, always use Temporary Chat, and never discuss my location.

Regardless, ChatGPT likes to give me recommendations and mentions by city by name (even though it is sometimes wrong and thinks I'm ~300 miles away).

I like the culprit is 4o using web search behind the scenes even when not explicitly enabled.
Yep. A proper haircut and shave is worth it. You can't turn-off your looks and people are always looking at other people--especially their faces.

For tailoring, it's a pretty rarely needed service that's impossible to do yourself, but it pays dividends for years.

It sounds stupidly simple, but if your clothes don't fit you, don't wear them.
With a complete loss of electrical power there isn't much for the FDR to record other then airspeed, altitude, and attitude from the standby instruments. However that's already available from radar, ADS-B, and in this case, video.

CVR might have some value, but again in most cases you're just getting a bunch of yelling and swearing before the crash.

As far as understanding what went wrong with Jeju 2216, the interesting bits are going to be right up until they lost both engines, after that it's fairly straightforward to put together the chain of events.
Unbelievably there was a BIOS update from 2020 - this thing was end of life in around 2014.

...and did you get any new features or bug fixes with the new BIOS version? My bet is you probably lost undervolting instead, due to "security".
I came into this rolling my eyes thinking he acquired some ability to learn and be humble or some programming or management topic... the typical bs you see on hacker news.

Set layer mode to "difference" and everything that overlaps exactly fades to black.

On a stereo image sliding the top image is very interesting as areas at different distances fade at different positions.

Here is an example video I made many years ago with the colors inverted as well for visibility: https://youtu.be/k2-ZZz5rwQE?si=UaKcidDRbNZOftbd
I'm a fan of the SnCuNiGe alloys. I've got a roll of Felder Sn100Ni+ and the feel is quite close to lead tin. Of course you need more heat, I've found 340 °C best on my iron.
If you prohibit arguing about the shape of the Earth, you're banning people from explaining that EGM08 is generally more accurate than EGM96—and where it isn't. That is a significant harm. Trolls advocating obvious nonsense like flat-Earthism isn't a significant harm, because nobody over the age of 6 will be misled.

Even if you were right that debate on the shape of the earth had no benefit, forbidding it still wouldn't be science. Science is not coextensive with beneficial things.
Framing hiring as a strategic decision like this makes sense. But that doesn't mean fast tracked C-suite promotions, etc. also do.
Most Windows apps that are guilty of being slow and poorly made do not use the .NET you speak of at all. If they did they would work much better!

The book starts in media res with the sinking of the ship iirc. I happened to read it just as the actual ship was discovered.
I'm usually contractually obligated to destroy all client IP that I may posses at the end of an engagement. My contracts usually specify that I will retain engagement specific information for a period of six months beyond the end of the contract. If they come back within that time, then I'll have prior context. Otherwise it's gone. Occasionally, a client does come back after a year or two, but most of the knowledge would have been obsolete and outdated anyway.

As for LLMs. I have a couple of python scripts that concatenate files in the repo into a context that I pass to Google's Gemini API or Google AI studio, mostly the latter. It can get expensive in some situations. I don't usually load the whole repository. And I keep the chat context around so I can keep asking question around the same topic.
It's a feature of limiting yourself to the win32 api (and functions of it available since 2001 only).

Eg the moment you need to deal with security like certificate or whatever this goes out the window.

As an undergrad, I did group projects with people who quite literally could not compile and run any actual project on their system outside of a pre-packaged classwork assignment, who essentially could not code at all outside of data structure and algorithm problem sets, who got Google internships the next semester.

But they were definitely brighter than I when it came to such problem sets. I suppose we need both sorts of engineer to make great things
No. The article is talking about things we think of as being easy because they are easy for a human to perform but that are actually very difficult to formalize/reproduce artificially.

The person you are responding to is instead comparing differences in biological systems and mechanical systems.
I don't think that one should compare terrorist attacks with destruction of infrastructure during war. Especially a defensive war.

The L502X had the best keyboard and speakers of any laptop I've ever owned. It still has plenty of horsepower under Window 7 too, but everything has deprecated support for that OS. Maybe one day will install a flavour of Linux on it. It's too good to let go to e-waste!
It might!

But as I understand it and I am not an accountant (IANAA?), for non-ZBB budgets last years budget is usually used as a starting point and increases are justified.

"Here's why I need more money to do the same things as last year, plus more money if you want me to do anything extra".

I'd be curious what our man Le Cost Cutter Elon Musk does for budgeting?
There are several lines of evidence which point towards Khelif being male:

- Karotype testing from two independent labs showing XY chromosomes, as reported by sports journalist Alan Abrahamson, who has seen the lab reports and covering letter that was received by the IOC from the IBA - he quotes from them in this article: https://www.3wiresports.com/articles/2024/8/5/fa9lt6ypbwx5su...

- Georges Cazorla, who was in Khelif's training team, revealing in interview that Khelif has a problem with chromosomes and hormones, and has been under testosterone suppression to bring levels into the female range: https://www.lepoint.fr/monde/2024-olympics-imane-khelif-was-...

- Extracts from a medical report leaked to French journalist Djaffer Ait Aoudia, which reveal that Khelif has the DSD 5-alpha reductase deficiency (5-ARD, same as Caster Semenya) which exists only in males: https://lecorrespondant.net/imane-khelif-ni-ovaires-ni-uteru...

There are other oddities too, like Khelif choosing to abandon a case at the Court of Arbitration for Sport after being deemed ineligible to compete in women's boxing events hosted by the IBA. Also, Rafael Lozano, the head of the Spanish national team, recalled that when the Algerians visited to train, Khelif was matched with a male boxer to spar, as the upper body strength and punching power was far too much for the female boxers.

All of this is consistent with Khelif competing at the Olympics in women's boxing, as they only asked for identity documentation and did not verify sex - unlike weight classes which were strictly controlled by weigh-ins.

You forgot the _most_ important data. The position of the flight controls set by the crew.

That has not been my experience. You can hear the pilots trying to work the problem until the last minute and hearing how they made decisions is important. You can also hear the engines, the wind noise, cockpit warning horns, and possible sources of pilot interference.
The person that has down voted this doesn't seem to know that error handling in VB6 works like that. Most functions don't return an error code you can check, neither are exceptions available.
Why should the powerful care about what's right and just?

I used to work at Microsoft and was on the other side, unfortunately I had the exact opposite experience. I interviewed and rejected a candidate (due to poor technical performance) then had the hiring manager contact me asking if I would reconsider as he needed to "increase DEI" footprint of his team. He wanted me to lower the bar for DEI reasons.
Not sure what you mean by “no free tool does that today”, there are plenty of free site builders out there, both on the web and desktop apps. Even more if you consider “freemium” site builders.
"Hardness" is a difficult quantity to define if you venture beyond "humans have been trying to build systems to do this for a while, and haven't succeeded".

Insects have succeed in build precision systems that combine vision, smell, touch and a few other senses. I doubt finding a juicy spider, immobilising it, is that much more difficult that finding a door knob and turning it, or folding a T-Shirt. Yet insects accomplish it with I suspect far less compute than modern LLM's. So it's not "hard" in the sense of requiring huge compute resources, and certainly not a lot of power.

So it's probably not that hard in the sense that it's well within the capabilities of the hardware we have now. The issue is more that we don't have a clue how to do it.
That rings true to me. I couldn't see it until I'd moved to Argentina for a few years, which is also very racist but in a way sufficiently different that I could see the absurdity of the US system of racism from the outside. Dangerous as this is, recognizing my own blindness to my own subconscious racism makes me totally disregard the opinions of people who have lived in the US all their lives on this matter, because I know that 95% of them are looking at the world through the same lens of subconscious prejudice I was, because they've never seen anything different.

Reading things like The Color Purple, Black Like Me, and The Autobiography of Malcolm X in my childhood didn't remove that blind spot; if anything, the contrast tempted me to think that racism was pretty much a solved problem in the US, except for a few reactionaries. It wasn't until years of living something fundamentally different that I could start to notice how absurd and pervasive it was.
heh - I built compilers this back in the 70s because the machine I was working on didn't really do pointers as a 1st class data structure (B6700 algol), it's not really surprising finding someone doing something similar in another language that makes pointers difficult to deal with

The site was down for maintenance and I couldn't quite edit to get out what I wanted.
I personally think one of the main design problems of COM was that, ironically (given its name), it never really had "component" as a first-class concept. It was all about interfaces, and the rules on how implementation of IUnknown's QueryInterface must behave really highlight that: it's almost impossible to delegate to/compose over another component if that component was not written with this scenario in mind.
> be hooked up to any of the redundant power buses.

There are multiple busses, but you almost always have an option to tie the two busses together, so one generator can drive both sets of loads. You can also add a battery through an inverter to carry loads. You can also turn on the APU and use it's output to drive loads.

They may have had a more severe failure.
Your description of what I told you is nothing like what I wrote at all. Also, the guy here is telling you that AVX-512 shines on compute bound workloads, which is effectively what I have been saying. Try going back and rereading everything.
Sorry VB apologists, it's a weird language with lots of legacy weirdness. If you chuckle at silly things in JS, you'll cry when you learn VB.
it's not just about the funding to the schools; it's about the economic situation of the parents and their ability to provide conditions where their children can thrive academically

that's why I said the best way to improve the education is to improve the economic conditions of the community
And yet most large cities have sections of it that are in total blight with abandoned homes, with windows blown out or plywood covering access holes to prevent intruders.

Much of the problem is that the bourgeois class wants to live in the popular neighborhood, bidding up rents and values in isolated sections of large cities. Meanwhile, large chunks of cities have relatively affordable, but not as attractive neighborhoods with homes that could be converted to house the homeless for a fraction of what it would cost to build new housing.

Just the other day, I heard a news report in my area where they allocated money for homeless at $100,000 per bed in order to add more beds to an existing shelter in the downtown area. Yet this city has neighborhoods with cheap and unoccupied homes that could be bought to house these homeless for much less than 100,000 per bed.
Relatively rare, but SoCal in particular sees dry-ish winters and high, dry winds, the Santa Anas. Humidity has been in the single or low-double digits. During the recent Malibu fires I saw a 7% RH reading, in the past week ~17%. Both of those are quite dry.

Much of the area sees repeat fires at ~20 year intervals or so. Several of the fire maps I was looking at were showing prior burns within the past five years, of which there were several in the vicinity of the Palisades fire. I've yet to check back to see how the burned-over areas fared in the current burn, but I'm suspecting that even recent fire activity is no longer the protection it once was.

Ironically, heavy rains in recent years can also compound fire hazard as the precipitation promotes plant growth and hence fuel load. Unless rain is recent (within the past 14-30 days or so) it's not going to be protective.

Keep in mind that average annual precip in Los Angeles is less than 15 inches (38 cm). San Francisco sees roughly double that, and isn't a particularly high-rainfall region itself.

<https://www.laalmanac.com/weather/we13.php>

A midwestern location such as Chicago sees 50 inches (127 cm):

Moreover, California's precipitation tends to be concentrated into a relatively small number of storms, mostly between November and May.
commies?
Let's say you have a company in Warsaw full of lovely people who want what's best for the company. They have an opening for an infrastructure engineer and need somebody with particular skills, but are willing to interview candidates who don't have those skills but show aptitude , interest and a willingness to learn. They throw the doors open wide and interview everybody who applies. They only get white males applying for the job.

If they're measuring the diversity and inclusion of the pipeline, they'll still end up failing. Warsaw (one of the most diverse Polish cities) doesn't have a significant black population. They might get a handful of Chinese or Vietnamese applicants. The bulk of the "foreign" population are Ukrainian (by a wide margin) followed by European.

The trouble with any metric used to prove DEI credentials is that the org starts changing behaviour to boost that metric.

Perhaps the metric should be aligned with availability. No idea how that would work in practice though.

> Relative scarcity is the necessary and sufficient condition. Either there's enough housing or there isn't

This seems like an oversimplification. Speculation affects demand, so the amount of speculation is hidden within “relative scarcity”. If there is no speculation then demand is directly related to the needs and finances of potential occupants. If there is speculation then demand becomes connected to the buying power of the wealthy, and thus demand and prices are likely to be higher.

In particular, the wealthy investing class collectively have way, way more money than the renting class, so the finances of the wealthy class distort housing prices upward in ways which dwarf the supply and demand effects from actual renters moving in and out of an area.
I once forgot to turn off the iron after soldering, and didn't have auto power-off.

The future is here and I am already driving an EV. The car park at work is around 15% EVs (and growing) and 0% hydrogen.

It is convenient for me to charge at home, moving to hydrogen would require me to visit a refuelling station again - something that costs me time so there would have to be some other benefit. The possible benefit is faster refuelling, but on long journeys my EV can drive for 2-3 hours on a 20 minute charge while I eat which is 0 minutes extra.
This article is really inspiring! I have a few dozen half-baked projects, that's meant for no one else but me, to play with, or to "learn new things" from, but none of them ever became so complete and polished as author's Bauble. I can feel the pure enjoyment of crafting from the article. I hope more people can find out about it, and share OP's joy.

I should really finish what I started. It may take, say, eighteen years, but I should finish them XD
I received a 1 year suspension on Meta for:

* I asked a question about a moderation policy (are we allowed to delete comments? here are two conflicting sources. Which one is correct?)

* A moderator requested an edit in a comment, then shortly after, deleted it due to not having that edit.

* Since there's no way to edit a deleted question, I posted it again with the edit.

I think the ban was actually for questioning SE's inconsistency. Like all dictatorships, they punish you for not obeying in advance.

And it’s nowhere near these neat 3 lines. Same for ui.

I agree that the spirit of VB/Delphi is in theory easily transferrable to any modern runtime. But in practice we suck at it and there’s nothing even remotely close to just dropping a component on a form. All we have is miles of vaguely explained boilerplate and the most convoluted idioms that don’t connect. The basic technology is lost and only miraculously exists as a windows support artifact.
I'm surprised I don't come across this perspective more often. ESG funds reached 15% of the total global securities market in assets under management (although much of this was merely a reclassification of existing investments). It seems very reasonable to conclude that ESG funds/scorings became the primary market incentive driving the corporate DEI initiatives we've seen rolled out this past decade.

Publicly traded companies operate under a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders (maximizing long-term shareholder value). For consumer-facing companies one could easily argue these initiatives are part of a broader marketing/corporate branding strategy that benefits shareholders. But, for large publicly-traded companies that don't rely on retail consumer sentiment, I presume DEI initiatives were primarily a strategy to attract investment from ESG funds and help quell potential regulatory action/political controversies

I'm ultimately not sure how reasonable my take is (I have no insider experience or knowledge) but would love to hear from someone with relevant first-hand knowledge and get their perspective
Haha, thank you!

To be fair France has had this national policy of "digital availability, leave no one behind."

This resulted in my mother (remote village with ~100ish people) and father (there might be like 10 houses along a mountain road, several km from the village).

Both got upgraded from ReADSL (512k/128k, sometimes 1M on good days, 0kbps on bad ones) to 1Gbps symmetric FTTH a few years ago.

It's absolutely not economically viable to lay out fiber so it has to come from politics, which also mandates that fiber must be shared to prevent predatory pricing through local monopolies.

Also Claude, when given the entire picture:

"This is a humorous post showcasing an AI image recognition system making an amusing mistake. The neural network (named "neural net guesses memes") attempted to classify an image with 99.52% confidence that it shows a skunk. However, the image actually shows two cats lying together - one black and one white - whose coloring and positioning resembles the distinctive black and white pattern of a skunk.

The humor comes from the fact that while the AI was very confident (99.52%) in its prediction, it was completely wrong..."

The progress we made in barely ten years is astounding.
