In the capital city of Germany it’s now common that Tesla owners put a bumper sticker on their cars which says “I bought this vehicle before Elon went crazy”.
A sad cry to avoid vandalism damage in my opinion, but what else can you do about those out of rails kids which have no life and need to damage private vehicles.

... on a "boosted" account. Which means you pay a good player to play on your account to it gets better stats, and then he pulled an Elon ... in other words, he lied about someone else's performance really being his own.

He does that a lot.

A lot who did are now surprised (for the second time) that Trump is bein' a total ass-hat. Learned nothing from the first time around except that he's an infallible "stable genius" what can never be wrong about anything. They're literal cult-members.
Best thing about Libre Office... if it doesn't suit their needs, they can invest in improving it :)

It’s simple. The solution to dealing with LLMs is:

* Don’t ask code questions. If I want to know about code I will ask the candidate to tell me about the methods of their favorite Node library. That leaves it up to the candidate to form an original answer because the LLM needs further direction, such as which Node library to look up.

* Make your questions really long with many words, such as throwing a situation in the middle and then circle back on a prior mentioned premise. The LLMs will barf and the candidate will actually have to address the question on their own versus reading the LLMs nonsense.

* Ask your next question very fast after their prior answer, almost before they finish speaking, and watch for if they are speaking or reading from a screen.

* Ask the candidate about performance improvement techniques in their prior code or transmission and then ask them when they have noticed these savings in production. For the LLM that is two entirely separate things to answer. Also, most developers cannot measure anything.
Just google 'percentage of GDP driven by government spending' for your country of choice.

Engineers should state the obvious
I don’t think it’s inherently a bad idea. Industrial adhesives can be incredibly strong and perform better than fasteners in many use cases. They are tricky though and there’s many ways things can go wrong.
The transition to hooks was worth it.
Here’s some food for thought from Anders Hejlsberg https://www.artima.com/articles/the-trouble-with-checked-exc...

Error results and checked exceptions are more similar than either is to unchecked exceptions.
its really far less cash than you think, if they make a central clearing house for digital ad sales and anoint a EU wide cloud leader, they have two trillion dollar companies in the next few years with little innovation needed. then use the funds and talent from that to build a tech industry, this is exactly what china did.
Whenever someone feels that travel is risky due to news stories (especially in a generally known to be safer area of the world), I always suggest to imagine that right now as you're reading a news story, hundreds of thousands-to-millions are boarding and onboarding planes at the same time, thousands of planes are in the air, thousands are landing and taking off, hundreds of conferences and events are happening continuously all throughout the country, millions of people are traveling on the roads. Try to paint that visceral picture in your mind. It helps put things in perspective.
The future of AI is Ruby on Rails
Agreed it is an OS. How many years will it be before audio on the Linux OS doesn’t suck? It’s way better than it used to be, but I still spent weeks this year trying to sort out what magic combination of alsa, and pipewire and pulse-audio and wireplumber setting, configs and launch timings would get HDMI audio to not come up muted on a mini PC with integrated Radeon graphics in Ubuntu. Surely the openness of the x86 platform and Linux itself would mean that these sort of experience should be easy and painless in the way that audio on macOS or even windows is right?

Or how about the huge fight that systemd has been (and continues to be). If we imagine a world where os init was regulated by the EU, what do we imagine the systemd integration into RedHat would have looked like? We might imagine it would have looked the same, or we could also imagine that it gets challenged and beaten down in court because it’s breaking the current open standards “for no reason”.

The world already has an open phone os with multiple hardware vendors platform. It’s called Android. What do we expect actually gets better if iOS is forced open and why is that not already an option on Android?
To be clear, this is not an attack in the deliberate sense, and has nothing to do with AI except in that AI companies want to crawl the internet. This is more "FOSS sites damaged by extreme incompetence and unaccountability." The crawlers could just as well be search engine startups.

I used to own a plane that had metal wings glued together. The Grumman Tiger literally had aluminum wing skins bonded onto the plane. No rivets or screws. They had some early issues with the glue they picked, but after picking a different glue it was a really reliable method. There are some of these planes flying still and are getting almost 50 years old.

Many modern cars use the body panels as structural members because it is weight efficient, but trucks were probably the last category of automobile to adopt this trend. It is not necessarily bad design to have a separate frame, you just pay a weight penalty. Engineers may choose to do this because they have other design priorities than weight.

Tl;dr: Glue is an okay design choice. Non-structural panels are an okay design choice. The Tesla engineers just didn’t get the details right.
> Gentrification actually only affects a very small percentage of people who end up refusing to sell and holding out until they cannot afford anymore.

Not quite just those who refuse to sell — because housing costs impact the cost of every other local service, maintenance in a gentrified area often becomes unaffordable for those who hold out, and then they can’t afford it. Roof replacement is the classic example. Another example (though not as relevant to the 90 year old on social security) is childcare costs.
I did something similar recently for deploying some Bevy examples to a webpage: https://github.com/victorb/dogoap/blob/3505cb42784381b696ce5...

Probably not a problem unless you work with others or have a tendency to push commits fast/have a slow pipeline (building WASM from Rust is really slow), but it seems you're missing to limit the concurrency, which can lead to old commit being deployed over a newer commit, depending on which finishes first.

Also limiting it to your main/master branch makes sense in case you use branches, otherwise WIP branches might deploy over your "production" one :)

One final word of advice, try to do as little as possible in the .yml configuration itself (I see Simon is "emulating" the build process inside of the CI config), as testing changes becomes a huge hassle otherwise. Instead, extract it into a shell-script/Makefile/Justfile or something, then call that from your CI config, so you can also run the same code locally.
Not that this is hard data, but I always remember this event when Model Y’s safety is brought up:

The big takeaway here is that Google's (and advertisement in general) dominance over the web is going away.

This is because the only way to stop the bots is with a captcha, and this also stops search indexers from indexing your site. This will result in search engines not indexing sites, and hence providing no value anymore.

There's probably going to be a small lag as the current knowledge in the current LLMs dry up because no one can scrape the web in an automated fashion anymore.

It'll all burn down.
I’m all for poorer countries getting a slice of the pie. Long term I’m not convinced it’s beneficial for the whole population of richer countries to continue, but rather only the elites of those countries. The amount income inequality has skyrocketed in recent decades sort of undermines the theoretical benefits economists love to tout.

Nowadays manufacturing does not have to be uncompetitive. Advances in automation balance out wage disparities. They also provide more chances for a country to retain its skilled workers. Unions in developed nations can help the systematic power imbalance between capitalists and workers.
I can't imagine why anyone would read this and think it's a good idea to come to the US for any reason in this current climate. There's nothing here worth seeing if it means you're going to be tortured for the opportunity.
Yup, it will very much depend on where you live or travel. I lived on the Northside. If you avoid localized areas with high gun violence, you will very rarely ever encounter it.

The areas surrounding University of Chicago were historically some of the worst areas in the entire city for gun violence.
This is probably a dumb question, but have they tried sending abuse reports to hosting providers? Or even lawsuits? Most hosting providers take it seriously when their client is sending a DoS attack, because if they don't, they can get kicked off the internet by their provider.
I'm thinking of building a long term living app (say an app that I will use the next 30 years).

It has to be a web app so I was thinking of going pure JS.
With that requirements in mind would you recommend ember.js?
He owns a massive resort/hotel near the Olympics and will want to fill that up and then bring himself to bill taxpayers millions for secret service, etc.

So the event will happen but I simply cannot believe I find myself hoping for a worldwide boycott, it's insanity.

But why would they cancel the election if they "know those vote counting computers" and no-one is going to stop them from putting on a pretend election like Russia does?

People can protest all they want, once they run out of migrants to fill the detention centers they will just move onto protesters since no-one could stop them the first time around.

Yes and no.

The distributed nature of git is fine until you want to serve it to the world - then, you're back to bad actors. They're looking for commits because it's nicely chunked, I'm taking a guess.
When it gets realistic, with conditions, variable substitutions, etc., it ends up being 20 steps in a language that isn't shell but is calling shell over and over again, and can't be run outside of CI. Whereas, if you just wrote one shell script, it could've done all of those things in one language and been runnable locally too.
Remarkable that it seems to be only white woman victims that reach HN's front page. Implicit cultural acknowledgement that brown men *belong* in cages, chained "like Hannibal Lecter", or whatever the hyperbole of the day is.

For every shocking depravity involving a European tourist, there's a thousand other human stories some media circles will never acknowledge. Read testimonies from people who aren't born into the right ethnicity. (If you want content warnings about suicide attempts, this one has three different methods).

These people have families too. Countless stories on other sites of families pleading for the disappeared, pleading their innocence.
Think of the risk of getting caught in gun violence like the risk of mass stabbings or vehicles being driven into crowds. It can and has happened, but the odds are staggeringly low.

Most gun violence is between people who are known to each other (gangs, suicide, domestic violence). As a random person, you are very unlikely to have problems.
No, it's quite well-defined as far as I know. Fields must be packed in the order they are declared, and be suitably aligned, basically.
MCP is the new agentic, it seems. Most MCP stuff I've seen seems over-engineered, but this one was actually fun to check out.
Although less egregious at a glance, as a US citizen, I think that is pretty extreme and unprecedented in my lifetime (I'm 50) :-|
Idiomatic Reacts historical changes pretty often. In large codebases major version upgrades can take teams multiple quarters to complete.
Or sometimes they use consumer IP proxies. Makes it even harder because sometimes those IPs get reused for actual users.
I'm not sure how to account for / compete with folks measuring risks via say news outlets or even wikipeida pages. The fact that there are that many shootings is terrible.

That "terribleness" doesn't mean you're at a risk that is worth worrying about, or worse, worrying about that and not something that might be far more of a risk.

But nobody can compete with purely an emotional response to bad things.
0^2 is a power of 0, not a power of 2.
I know what you mean, but now you're talking about a very niche market. Finance, which uses Excel or spreadsheets since 90s. You can't replace these, I agree.

But for other uses of Excel, I can say it can be easily exchanged. This is why I used 99.99% percent, but not more nines. The remaining "three nines" are the niches you're talking about.

It's like how we say "Nah, it's a small set of matrices. just 2, 3000x3000, double precision floating point matrices, and a couple of vectors and some multiplication (i.e. in a range of a couple of billions)".
>Because that is what the housing market does. Allocates valuable assets to those who pay the most. Nowhere on the tin does it also say that it promotes social mobility or equality. Maybe it should, but it certainly won't as long as there is the idea that it already does.

You've hit on the hard reality that neither political side in the US has been willing to squarely face. The housing crisis is not the result of housing policies (though as you say there is probably some marginal effect there). It is the entirely predictable result of unregulated capitalism. In an unregulated capitalist system (defined as a system without any regulation on the accumulation of wealth), income growth accelerates with increasing wealth, and all assets are increasingly owned by a smaller and smaller fraction of the population.
I would much rather see a viable alternative to Google Docs with at least an attempt at feature parity.

I have yet to see a solution that has a chance at comparison, especially considering performance and features.
None? I use it from ClojureScript. I've been maintaining a React-based app with Semantic UI for 10 years now.
Isn't this just poor, sloppy crawler implementation? You shouldn't need to fetch a repo more than once to add it to a training set.
Interesting. Basically moving the proof-of-work off the user's phone and to a dedicated mine. Websites could just have a lightning wallet or something and auto-charge the user 1e-7 bitcoin to access the page.
This is a great start for Apple having just entered this product sector (even if they did just gobble up Intel's modem division to do it, it's still by no means easy), this is an outstanding showing. Apple's long term goal likely isnt to outcompete Qualcomm's modems, it's to cut them out and more tightly integrate everything, less outside technology means a higher profit margin and better efficiency since it's their own tech.
I've been avoiding traveling to the US, and even doing stop-overs, at least since Trump first became president. You guys are a bit too enthusiastic about the whole police state / fascism thing, and have been ever since 9/11.
I got access to a NextCloud instance as part of my Hetzner storage.

Setting up access for my wife was easy. Adding "apps" to my nextcloud instance was easy. Sharing storage, playing with a Kanban board, editing documents, it all just works.

I'm very impressed with nextcloud, I had no idea it was so good!

We do, that's what the 14th amendment is about. Republicans don't care about this though, and they don't care about the courts. The law is can't fix anything when the people breaking it are also in charge of enforcing it.
The "digital nomad" is typically employed, pays taxes etc in their home country. Locals don't have access to those jobs. They are accepted because they are economically just like tourists: they come and enjoy the ambience and spend their money, which comes from abroad.

I'm getting at the fact that designers use white space to visually separate things. People who know nothing about design put lines between things to separate them.

Just put the phone to the terminal, that's it. Sometimes press finger to the fingerprint sensor.

For card, you need to get the wallet, get the card from the wallet, and then put it back.

Some people don't use wallet or put it close, because I only need wallet to pay or use loyalty card, and I can do that with my phone.
Traditionally, holders of IP ranges that attack the internet at large get kicked off the internet by having those ranges blacklisted everywhere. This can also get them in serious trouble with the places they got their IP ranges (I assume AWS has them directly from ARIN, so maybe not) and their upstream bandwidth providers and so on, as well as making them less attractive hosts because they are blocked everywhere.
For what it’s worth, Signal is also American.
It's not resizeable on mobile.

And keep in mind that the people saying these things - while doubtless busy for the last three months - have not been locked in isolation. Even the barest hint of recent news would make it clear to them that negative comments about Mr. Trump & Mr. Musk could destroy their own careers, and threaten the programs they have worked on and the lives and careers of their co-workers.
> Sadly the innocent are always the victims under leadership decisions

What you have stated is that, following your view, "people should impale leaders".

And that you would pester John to turn him against Jack. What should happen instead is that John will rightfully react against you (possibly both of you), with justification.

It is very basic lucid plain logic.

I'm curious about your probabilities and violence comment. Where do you live?

I believe that in general people tend to overestimate the threats in places they do not live because the news reports on the worst stuff. There is also not an even distribution across the country, or even the state or city for that matter. If I was to visit your country, I wonder what concerns I would have about it that you would find unusual.

That's a fallacy. There are certainly some unqualified elected leaders, but humans living in democratic societies have yet to shake the mental framework we've constructed from centuries without self-rule. We invest way more authority into a single executive than they actually have, and blame them for everything that goes wrong despite the fact that modern democracies are hugely complex systems in which authority is distributed across numerous people. When the government fails to meet people's needs, they lack the capacity to point at a particular Senator or a small party in a ruling coalition and blame them. It's always the executive.

Of course, the result is that people get fed up and decide that the problem has been not that democratic societies are hard to govern by design (they have to reflect the disparate desires of countless people) but that the executive was too weak. They get behind whatever candidate is charismatic enough to convince them that they will govern the way the people already thought the previous executives were governing, just badly. The result is an incompetent tyrant.
Placing female prisoners at risk of physical violence, sexual assault, rape and impregnation by male prisoners is an obvious wrong to undo, but I agree there are many other horrifying aspects of prison conditions that need to be addressed as well.
There's already loads of these. The problem is that most of these IPs are just cloud providers or DC ISPs.

The days of an open web are long gone. Every server will eventually have to require authentication for access, and to get an account you will have to provide some form of payment or social proof.

he gets paid for the contracts he already has and for new ones (billions in corporate welfare). some government agencies tried to investigate his companies and contracts (which would cause a loss of handouts from the government), so he bought his way into the government and fired everybody who was investigating his companies.
