They aren't going to talk to the passengers in a gap unless there's a major need (like Sullenberger saying "This is the captain, brace for impact". He had already committed to the Hudson long before he said that. And note that that's the minimum communication that conveys the message, he didn't spend one second on that he didn't have to.)

The ceremony is part of the fun.

Though for us the ceremony was only one or two mild complaints from the kids near the window, and the teacher firmly stating that the room reeks of sweaty teenagers and needs some airing out.

> It seems that the system does work as intended after all.

Does it though? One common thread in the comments here is whether ineligibility is or is not warranted in political embezzlement cases. If hers is justified, how is the lack of Chirac's justified? That he was not seeking to be elected?

Whether or not it's actually a politically motivated difference, it's not a stretch that people question whether it is. Because it's a very convenient sentence. And let's face it, she was very likely to make it to the second round of the presidential election, and I can totally see a number of people being extremely bothered that it was a possibility, because if it did happen, if she wouldn't have won, it would have been very close (although who knows, a miracle could happen, and the political field might be less of a mess in 2 years).
What's faster, a "Core i3-9100" or a "Core i7-2600"?

One has 4 threads, the other has 8; and the difference between 6 generations is actually not that big, especially if you start talking about overclocking, cooling, and thermal throttling.

At least with 286, 386, 486, and Pentium, the nomenclature was much more digestible

Those were all single-core, but still, you could ask "what's faster, a 486SX-16 or a 386DX-33?" (The answer may surprise you. Sorry, couldn't resist...):

Etsy as a private platform banning it doesn't necessarily mean it was actually legally infringing.

Pre-shredded cheese is much, much dryer than cheese you grate yourself. Unless the only cheese you ever eat is already dry, like a parmesan, it should be trivial to notice the difference.
Ubuntu ships an outdated version that misses a lot of bugfixes. They don't seem to be interested in either backporting fixes or shipping the current stable version. Every other day some Ubuntu user hits the ZFS GitHub issues with a problem that was fixed years ago.
TL;DR "the major component that is primarily made to make managing servers and services easier and providing good journalling on Linux, systemd, makes me uncomfortable." which is quite the litmus test for stubborn sysadmin that didn't deploy anything remotely complex.

I'm on the opposite camp. If FreeBSD can provide a systemd-like service and device management software, then I would switch to it.
This looks super cool. I love projects like this. Going to give it a try!
Python has historically cared about backwards compatibility. Nowadays they're finally dropping some old libraries that probably shouldn't have been in the stdlib. They're not likely to add more. Especially now that you can add dependencies to scripts so easily
Apathy? Communications spin? Lack of technical understanding?

It comes from MITRE (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitre_Corporation), and the methodology is explained on the website (roughly, the score is relative prevalence times relative average vulnerability severity).

> and attackers can switch to it, so shutting off one source of UB isn't as effective in practice as you might expect.

If that's how things work, you could say the same about all the other weaknesses that have nothing to do with UB.
Yeah. Right there on the safety card--note whether there's fire outside an exit before using it.
The other mystery to unravel is the tech industry rallying behind a leader who wants to undo the very fabric of what makes the tech industry possible. Less taxes I get. Killing any chance of regulation so monopolies can continue to monopoly I get. I don't know why any non-cultist tech leader would want less science and technology education and research.
Why was it only at these dealerships. If it was a spike caused by the rebate ending, then it would been seen at all (or most) telsa dealerships across the country.

Agreed btw, the tour in Gouda is wonderful. Show up for the morning when they have the cheese market; it’s a really fun time.
At the same time, some ideas were great but scales of economy and population ruined them. e.g. The house of represenatives should probably number over 1000 today to properly work as structured in the founding papers. But we somewhat arbitrarily capped it at 435 100 years ago. now while that's way too many people per rep, most political scientists don't really suggest that we should have 1200 reps in the House. proposals end up more around 700.

some reverence may simply be patriotism. I suppose it's no different than any other kinds of celebrity style of worship. people like a role model.
That feels like an omission in the law. Previously it was simply impossible to "take" a style wholesale. You would at least have to become an artist versed in that style, and it in investing your life into that style you would also make it yours.

AI can take a whole style wholesale with no effort and no contribution. It is greivous theft in the moral sense if not the legal sense.

I think it's more of a typical tactic by authoritarian countries to do some high profile arrests with no recourse to strike fear into everyone's hearts that the same can happen to them and they'll have no recourse; which Ivy League grad students or faculty are going to join protests now?
I've also found hardware support lacking. In my case SATA controller threw errors on FreeBSD and worked fine in Linux. It's something that's impossible for FreeBSD through because Linux has much more drivers, testers and eyes for exotic hardware. However there exist hardware compatibility lists and most common hardware is supported very well.
Anyone have recommendations for similar Android apps?

You can't smother a lithium battery fire because it's not using atmospheric oxygen in the first place. The only options are containment or cooling.
That's exactly it. Solar systems and galaxies have net rotation, and maybe even galactic clusters.

But there is no reason to think that the universe has a net rotation. It could have one; you don't need a frame of reference to detect rotation. (The same way you feel centrifugal force.)

It would be huge if it were shown to have a net rotation. So huge that I take this claim with skepticism until heavily confirmed.
This is definitely how my brain works. I'm either absorbing words that are said, or I'm writing - when I multitask here, my retention plummets like a rock.

Shocker, that. Multitasking worsening performance? Surely that can't be a super-well-demonstrated-repeatedly phenomenon.
Apple makes more than 10B $ on advertising unless you've been leaving under a rock, and it's virtually all targeted ads.

In fact them limiting more and more third party access to data is just a play to boost their own selling of your data.
I would thinks a newsworthy-only story would end after "Tesla did not respond to Fortune’s request for comment." And I'd think a better wording for

"...reported on the suspiciously high number of EV rebate claims in the final January days of the program."

...might be:

"...reported on the unusually high number of EV rebate claims in the final January days of the program."

...and then maybe have a comparison to other dealerships sales increases in the same period, maybe even include a chart showing the weekly Tesla sales for the past year or two. And including a quote similar in spirit to pseudo0's observation in this thread:

"Yes, lots of people will want to buy Teslas when the government announces that the $5,000 subsidy is about to end. The other car manufacturers are just mad that they lost out due to their antiquated sales process. If they had direct purchase via online ordering, maybe they would have gotten a larger slice of that remaining subsidy money?"

...how about:

"Tesla's simple, direct, online-only sales methods probably helped them secure the bulk of the last-minute $5,000 subisidies because other dealers couldn't react to quickly enough."

...that would go a long way in my mind to raising the bar of journalistic integrity.
Silvestri certainly had a style and some distinct instrumentation in the 80s (you'll also hear similarities in the Abyss and Predator). Sometimes I like to think of the alternate movie tracks as bonus tracks for Back to the Future. I should listen to them and Roger Rabbit again!
> Free Palestine protesters have been shutting down roads with their protests, this is illegal.

Yeah, and so? Is shutting down roads a "threat to US national security" and therefore warranting arrest without due process and green card revocation? The protesters should be charged with whatever city laws (certainly it's not a federal offense) they broke, and fined or whatever.
> The court was told Arshad had previously admitted two charges of making an indecent photograph of a child in relation to a number of images found between 7 and 23 September 2022.

Surprised this was only mentioned in the final few paragraphs of the article. I wonder what the background check looks like for GCHQ interns.
It's totally different you see. This time the fraud was done by a faceless corporation maximizing shareholder returns so this is just an exercise in free speech by an immortal, in the same vein as running an unlicensed lottery.
It's not about the risk of it going up, but in whether it will be promptly noted and contained if it does go up.
If it was me, I would feel great that my work has been extended to give joy at such a large scale. (Not that it’s invalid if he has a different opinion.)
Im very aware of the commercialisation of the internet. Sadly its something (tablets) given to children as a high tech dummy, more than it is a wierd and wonderful playground.
You and I evidently have different instincts here.
Agreed. I've been seeing a lot of these posts lately, about embedding SQLite into web servers.

I think a lot of people just don't realize how few resources Postgres or MySQL use, and how fast they are. You can run Apache and MySQL and a scripting language on a tiny little 512 MB memory instance, and serve some decent traffic. It works great.

Wanting to use SQLite and deal with replication is a nightmare. I don't get it. (And I love using SQLite in apps and scripts. But not websites!)
>Maaybe, but you'd also have to pass the three-prong test of fair use, and one of the prongs of the test is that your fair use of the material can't eliminate the market for the original material.

So what if the ad sales team gets sad? The subscription sales team would be very happy. You just got a regular recurring income stream. You could even shift employees from one to the other team.

And by being unethical and double dipping you're setting a great example for your customers who won't feel bad about being unethical themselves and just blocking and bypassing all your monetisation. If a site is being honest and fair I'm also much more motivated to play fair with them. I used to with Amazon and Netflix and paid my subscription until they started charging extra to remove ads. Now I pirate again.

Ps by 'you' I mean the companies that choose to do this, not you the poster.

This resonates, as the only thing they see the world in terms of is "patronage networks". In their mind there isn't some larger purpose to funding scientific research, it's just money supporting the "liberal conspiracy" (ie any institution that won't ask "how high" while smiling when they bark "jump")

Stepping up a level, it's not because they see a larger playing field and have some reason to want to change the system. It's because they're small minded people who literally don't understand what they're butchering and chopping down to their own level.

Now, I don't think they were always like this. Musk definitely accomplished things through his companies, and Trump hasn't always talked like a senile old man waiting for a ride from the police station. It seems that they've been made small minded by crippling social media addictions, going in spirals of ever-smaller numbers of ever-more "enthusiastic" followers that lap up the lamest low-effort reactionary takes.
Are you also okay with Apple only asking once for Apple Advertising and making other advertising ask twice?

I don't mean ads for Apple products. I mean the ads that Apple sells in News, the App Store, where they track your behavior to personalize the ads you see and to see if you ever buy what the ad is selling.

FWIW, that's just saying that government antitrust action didn't break the monopoly in question, not that it wasn't harmful. Clearly it was harmful. And Apple's is too.
Speaking as a curling fan: the game has been greatly enhanced by the analogous technological improvements. Shots that used to be fever dreams are now routine at top levels of play, and the sport is better off for it. The change is even more dramatic worldwide than in Canada; teams from countries like Japan and Korea (perhaps the most impressive in this regard) have had to keep up with these advances while also generally becoming competitive on the world stage - in a sport where previously (say, a few decades ago) Canada, Scotland (the birthplace of the game) and maybe a couple of European countries were the only ones worth paying attention to.
The article you link to directly quotes him:

"After seeing a brief demo of a grotesque zombie-esque creature, Miyazaki pauses and says that it reminds him of a friend of his with a disability so severe he can’t even high five. “Thinking of him, I can’t watch this stuff and find [it] interesting. Whoever creates this stuff has no idea what pain is whatsoever. I am utterly disgusted. If you really want to make creepy stuff, you can go ahead and do it. I would never wish to incorporate this technology into my work at all. I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself.”

He's disgusted by the creature, not the computer based technique. While he's on record as disapproving of CGI, Earwig and the Witch, directed by his son, used CGI so his disapproval isn't absolute.
This comment is non-sensical.

Lanyard to your *belt*?

I hike, a phone falling is a realistic issue. I use a lanyard around my neck, though, not to my belt. A lanyard long enough to reach from your belt to use is likely to let it hit the ground. I've had it slip out a few times and be caught by the lanyard--without hitting the ground.
IIRC Google has a policy whereby all google3 binaries must be rebuilt within a 6-month window. This allows teams to age-out support for old versions of things, including glibc. grte supports having multiple multiple versions of itself installed side-by-side to allow for transition periods ("v5" in the article).

That's a statement that was made to and then reported by the media. That's kind of how journalism works.

Eh, can you really though?

Let's be real if OAI is losing money on a 200$ subscription with hyper advanced effeciency methods are you really going to save money?

You should also enjoy the free VC money while it lasts. Just like cheap uber rides were great until the vc money dried up.

I've hosted and run a lot of large LLM experiments myself. You are in no way "saving" money doing so. It's also a giant pain to be avoided if possible.

Best thing to do right now is enjoy the cheap AI and when the free money stops use the winning mature open source platform.
To ground the story in a consistent world: build up secret world lore behind the scenes, and provide that to the LLM as it makes choices. As the story is expanded the lore will expand. But this gets complicated as time progresses, as things that are "true" later in the story aren't earlier in the story (when some events haven't passed), and choices _should_ modify what happens so there isn't "one" truth. An LLM can handle some of that complexity natively, just by how the story is structured and allowing it to put conditionals into the lore. ("If the Snow Queen hasn't been defeated, she will sense when the hero is inside the castle")

You'll also need to keep track of context, so you can place the current passage in the lore. I doubt it will be self-evident. Some of this can probably be shown to the user as well as "metadata" of sorts (like a location name).

You could also pre-build the lore entirely, and then as the LLM expands out choices instruct it to stay within that lore. This is probably easier, but it'll seem less exciting to see it build out those passages. You'll want to include major choices in the lore itself so it can build out some of those conditional parts of the story.

The rhythm is much harder. Pre-building the entire lore will probably make this much easier. I'd probably throw a few queries at Deep Research to get ideas and terms for story structure that I'd want to apply. There's two major issues I see in incrementally created LLM generated stories: never getting to the good parts, and accelerating too fast.

The first is probably worse and more common: the LLM will build up anticipation, but it doesn't know the conclusion and will keep putting off any conclusion. It reminds me of Lost (the TV show)... you can tell the writers didn't have a plan, and only made things worse as they introduced more distractions that couldn't be made into a cohesive reveal. If you already have an outline then it should go forward. Another option is to have the LLM produce conclusions at the same time as it produces choices, and give it criteria for what a good conclusion is. These don't have to be full passages, but will be notes you pass on as the next passage is created.

Going too fast can happen too. If you just ask ChatGPT to write a CYOA story it'll probably stop abruptly when it sees the opportunity to just finish up. I don't have a clear idea here, but I'd try to think about splitting the story into acts, giving those acts clear purposes (as story structure). Then I'd aim for a certain length to each act, but let the LLM decide the exact moment one act moves to the next.
