> When we moved S3 to a strong consistency model, the customer reception was stronger than any of us expected.

This feels like one of those Apple-like stories about inventing and discovering an amazing, brand new feature that delighted customers but not mentioning the motivating factor of the competing products that already had it. A more honest sentence might have been "After years of customers complaining that the other major cloud storage providers had strong consistency models, customers were relieved when we finally joined the party."
I’ve heard both opinions at the same time because they’re both true.

A technical audience will actually read prompts and understand what they’re consenting to. I, for one, actually read cookie prompts and will say no to as much as I can.

Most people don’t, and the number of people who don’t is growing, because we keep adding prompts.
> A document examiner at the Swedish Migration Agency says in Uppdrag granskning that she has never seen a passport with that validity period before, which could indicate that it is a fake passport.

Hmm... an unnamed source.

vs a formal representative of the government.

So maybe faked but doesn't sound like there's actually accepted evidence. If faked, of course that exposes him to further legal liability which should be used to prosecute him further since he defrauded the government (+ get back the money).

There are some partial/mostly finished RCS stacks out there, like this one: https://github.com/android-rcs/rcsjta

However, some carriers require authentication through the SIM card. On Android, you can do this as a system app (so you'd need to include it in a custom ROM), on iOS I don't think the necessary API is exposed. There are a whole bunch of authentication options, though, and some of them can be implemented by a messenger without special permissions.

RCS is MASSIVE though. Custom ROMs are by design technically incompliant with the full spec (as the money transfer API spec forbids RCS running on "jailbroken" devices).

You can grab a copy of the spec (doesn't include E2EE yet) from last year here: https://www.gsma.com/solutions-and-impact/technologies/netwo...
Just for reference: page 274 has an example "SMS" message; the eventual form is some kind of unholy amalgamation of SMTP+MIME+JSON.
Aside from this document, you'll also need the 115 specifications linked in the references, and of course the specifications those specifications link. Some of those are ISO specs, so you'd have to find an open source implementation of those or pay for the specs to see them.
The RCS spec includes not only chat, but also voice and video calls, and all manner of other modern messenger features. To support all of it, you need to deal with HTTP APIs for chat while at the same time dealing with SIP for live interactions. You'd _also_ need to support weird stuff like CSS styling on messages with chat bots (which I'm hopeful nobody will ever bother with).

I've been following Jason Fung and "intermittent fasting" for six or seven years.

I notice that the specific wording "time-restricted eating" has gained popularity in the past couple of years, possibly because "time-restricted" is less of a red flag to the public than "fasting," which may bring up some emotional baggage.

The reason for renaming is just speculation on my part - what's clear is that the eating protocol is the same, only the wording is different.

Show HN: I made a gaming news aggregator + clicker game
Okay... I know, this might sound like a weird idea, but as a fan of clicker games myself, I really love the idea of merging a clicker game with a traditional website. The idea of combining those two worlds really appeals to me.

Uppergamer is my recent attempt to do just that. It took more time than I initially planned and I had to simplify it to make it more manageable, but the minimum viable product is done.

Essentially, the idea is to acquire gold by checking gaming news with upgrades and rewards added into the mix. I'd love to get some feedback on it!

Not saying you're wrong, Julius Caesar committed more than his fair share of atrocities, but do you have a source?

Wikipedia says that Julius Caesar threatened his troops with decimation but didn't carry it out. I asked chatgpt about it and it said that Julius Caesar did order one, but then said no contemporary sources for this exist. It then claimed that Plutarch wrote that Julius Caesar made his troops draw lots, which certainly suggests he ordered a decimation, but I checked two English translations of Parallel Lives and neither of them contain any mention of this. I also asked the not to translate the original Greek, and that also doesn't mention it. The chatbot thinking it happened suggests that somebody has written that it did, but I can't figure out who and where.
In my case, my stereo is connected to an inexpensive Airplay adapter.

So I do get all the advantages of a connected device, but if the adapter is bricked, I can easily replace just that small device. And more likely, when there’s a new standard, most of my equipment is unaffected.
Per David Reich:
>10-20% of the ancestors of Eurasian people are neanderthal

>West African populations have up to 19% "Ghost DNA", belonging to an extinct species their ancestors interbred with

>Southeast Asians have DNA of the extinct Denisovan species, as much as 3-5% in the aboriginal people of Papua New Guinea, Australia, the Philippines

>These aboriginals also have DNA belonging to a now extinct, but not yet discovered hominid species

I'm sure the implications of all these findings have not yet been discovered but it's exciting to see them explored

> Caesar was not dictator when he fought in Gaul. He was a Roman proconsul/general fighting in his provinces the way all ancient Roman armies did, and was objectively merciful than most, although fought a much bigger war than most.

He fought it against the wishes of the senate. Notice I didn't say he was a dictator "while fighting it".

> The Gauls and Germans his armies fought against were not some kind of peace loving hippies. Their armies waged war just as violently and invaded and slaughtered (including Romans) in the same way.

Sure. Notice the size of their armies in the link I provided vs. the count of dead people and enslaved people. These were civilians.

Also notice I specifically said I didn't judge him because he's a product of his time. I just criticized the parent post for misrepresenting him and comparing him to more contemporary figures.

> The narrative that Pompey was defending the republic against a tyrant is more ancient propaganda than reality.

Agreed. Both sides were terrible in that conflict. That doesn't make him a non-dictator because he won over another dictator wannabe.

> A reasonable and accurate summary is that Julius Caesar led a violent army against enemies, fought a civil war with unrivaled clemency, and was a benevolent dictator until his assassination by the envious people he had granted clemency.

I think that's revisionism. I don't know all of these things and they are very much a matter of perspective. Frankly, I don't care since none of that is grounded in fact. It's interpretation of facts.

The two facts I provided were: he was a dictator and he was violent.

Those are indisputable objective historic facts. Were others dictators and even more violent?

Sure. That doesn't dispute these facts. Notice I very specifically avoided passing judgement on him and on the OP article.
Stoicism and Protestantism are closely linked, and in my opinion the former served as inspiration for the latter.

So given the historic dominance of the Protestant culture in large parts of "the west", it should not be a surprise that rich and powerful men find Stoicism appealing.

You are incorrect. What is limited is the number of attacks that can be used for victims to recover their files.

It’s interesting book about what happens behind the scene for helping victims recover their files.

Seats mean nothing. If there is a plurality and any kind of left movement there, what opposition have they given to the right? AFAICT, Yair's biggest criticism was that the war was managed poorly by Bibi.

80% of Israeli jews support the ethnic cleansing of Gaza. People are arrested for saying the oppressed have a right to defend themselves. You see videos of IDF troops calling for the death of all Arabs while they are on vacation. You see them doing crimes against humanity in Gaza war footage. That isn't a healthy society, it isn't a society with a leftist movement. It is a fascist bloodthirsty society, run by thugs like Bibi, Smotrich, and Ben-Gvir.

Supporting them means you either naive or that you lack any morals. Which makes your "bad guy" accusation meaningless.

Having been an early user of 4chan back in late 2003, from what I saw, the tone shift of nazi stuff just being edgy belligerence for the shock value to people saying “no really, this is my serious political ideology” really got traction somewhere around 2012-2014. Prior to that, there was still pushback. Much like how the idea of having a “waifu” was originally a derisive joke, but somehow turned into actual practice.

This coincided with a few things, massive increase in internet use, raids having increased 4chans notoriety, but most importantly it was the timeframe when Russia prepared for and invaded invaded crimea, which included ramping up “active measures” to shift conversation with troll farms/propaganda. 4chan (and later, 8chan, which had a huge population of boomers buying into “qanon” nonsense) became an ideal host to try to amplify disruptive propaganda.

I didn’t quite notice what was going on, since by that time I was mostly only on select boards like /tg/ or alt chans like operatorchan, but the Russian influence became obvious in the lead up to the 2016 election.

And it wasn’t just nazi stuff, it was all sorts of bullshit like Marxism, esoteric magic and conspiracy shit that was being thrown around to see what stuck. And they were active across every social media site. Though as bad as 4chan was, I’d argue russian presence on Facebook and twitter was especially harmful and far reaching. They didn’t even need to be subtle or target groups: https://qz.com/1284222/russian-facebook-ads-were-barely-targ...
It's super scary and awful. Although unlikely to help, it's always worthwhile to look at employment-based visas for those in TPS status or pursuing asylum. Sometimes there are solutions. But to answer your question, my understanding is that those whose TPS status has been revoked would have little time to leave and that would set forth in the revocation order.
It’s sort-of the point to realize that it actually is (a third of something). The lander is receiving a third of the thermal energy that it would receive at room temperature.

But there's a fundamental difference between Markov chains and transformers that should be noted. Markov chains only learn how likely it is for one token to follow another. Transformers learn how likely it is for a set of token to be seen together. Transformers add a wider context to msrkov chain. That quantitative change leads to a qualitative improvement: transformers generate text that is semantically plausible.

Their policy is probably only act as if. The training I'm given doesn't go into such details though.

Come to think of it, they say it is mandatory to report, but are careful to avoid talking about the law. However it is recorded I have training.

i agree a little bit. But at what point does the “growing up” part happen? you know…when they turn 18, and have to get a real job (or go to university), doing things that are uncomfortable and maybe not fun?

The process of growing up and becoming more mature is accomplished by challenging yourself and pushing boundaries, to grow as a person.

i guess im saying, it depends. its not as black and white as you suggest. Is the fear irrational? Maybe therapy would help. Or a buddy to walk home with. But you need to _somehow_ help kids grow independent.
Actually, Tesla shareholders are the ones arguing against basic economics.

Tesla is no longer a "growth stock". Most industry observers are predicting a significant decline in sales for the current quarter. There is no reasonable data or even projected data to support a 12x valuation.
Again, that's not a good example I think because everything about the answer is in the prompt, so obviously from the start the "alligator" is high, but then it's just waiting for an "an" to occur to have an occasion to put that.

That doesn't mean it knows "in advance" what it want to say, it's just that at every step the alligator is lurking in the logits because it directly derives from the prompt.

There are two critical aspects to the bus routing problem. One is that no matter how well you design your system, there is always variance in the arrival times of a bus at any given stop. If you expect people to switch buses, then you need to account for this variance, and this means adding buffers. Nothing makes people stop using buses faster than missing your connection because your bus was late.

The other aspect is the what city topology you are dealing with. In square grid cities, you can probably put a tram on every road, and with one switch over, get to where ever you need to get to.

But many organically grown cities end up using the hub-and-spoke model, where there are main stations where many different buses meet. People switch over to the next connection (and you need a buffer here). Critically, you need all the buses to meet at roughly the same clock time, say every 30 min. Now, one thing you realize immediately is that not all routes are equal. One route might be only 25 min, Either you make it longer and waste fuel, and time for everyone sitting on the bus, or you wait an extra 5 min at the main station.

Bus scheduling is very difficult problem in real cities with weird topologies and real traffic issues. Buffers are a necessary part of any reasonable solution.
It does not, you're right. But it's an interesting way to approach the problem never the less. And given that we definitely aren't as efficient as a human brain right now, it makes sense to look at the brain for inspiration.

I find that the true "10x" engineers are staff-level engineers that a) have strong technical ability and b) are really good at communicating and mentoring. They are 10x because they are able to make all of the "normal" engineers around them better and thus level up the productivity of the entire team. Engineers like this are worth their weight in gold and far more valuable than the infamous "brilliant jerks" who can easily design an excessively complex system by themselves that magically only they are able to maintain effectively.

Turns out the key to weight loss is just "eat less" (calories, not volume).

If you need a schedule and restricted hours to do that, great. If you need to track your calorie numbers (or some abstraction-of, like Weight Watchers points), great. If you need to "trick" yourself by eating high-volume-low-calorie foods, great. Whatever works for you. Just, less.
