Notwithstanding the danger of having everything on a single platform, the Apple passkey works great. Sign into one and you’re signed in everywhere and you can share passwords with others.
If this can fully replace something like postmark plus do documents it could be very interesting. I might try it out in a year or so if it’s still around.
Is PLA stiffer somehow in this state than it would be as a conventional beam?
Interesting, which material?
In the intro paragraph of the linked Wikipedia page: “Use of the term has varied over time and, sometimes, has also been applied to structures such as hill forts”.
This is off by many degrees of magnitude for Ireland at least: https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/1nkvqd7/oc...
Nope, and this one isn’t going to change my behavior in the slightest. I’m pretty confident that an occasional late coffee isn’t going to kill me.
Purely for balance, based on the comments where people have issue with it: I don’t have any issues with coffee. I don’t get any headaches or intestinal pain, and I don’t get withdrawals when I go on holidays or anything. I can drink a cup at 9pm and sleep just fine. I just really like the taste and smell of it, and really like to drink it, and I think going to a cafe is a great excuse to get out of the house for a while to sit somewhere and read a book for an hour.
Based on the number of people I see around me whenever I go to a coffee shop, I think there’s many people like me. It’s nice to see yet another study that shows there’s no real health impact to it.
If I had to guess uncharitably, I’d say they want you to feel like you keep getting something extra for “free” while you’re getting the same service you should have expected as normal 3 months ago.
These days, even a window gets updates.
The site looks like it was actually dying since 2014 and AI just turned off the life support.
It was such a hostile environment. It always seemed like you basically had to already know the answer to ask a question.
It looks like the text that this classifies might be Chinese, is that right? Do Chinese speakers have the same cultural aversion to AI-generated text? I’m wondering if there might be a different level of effort put into making text seem human-generated in English v. Chinese.
Sounds like someone isn’t doing their load-bearing smoke tests.
Spaghetti Will Smith was 3 years ago, so it’s taking a little longer than months.
Well if the company is good, you can lose a lot of money taking short positions as a gamble.
Yes, because the guy buying your bananas is able to make banana-buying decisions for next week based on the price you give him.
You’re not going to make up a silly low number because you actually have to buy the bananas yourself at some point, and you help price discovery because now that guy isn’t buying bananas at a higher price than someone is willing to sell them for.
Was Spock poorly calibrated?
It makes borrowing money much more expensive going forward.
The market “settling on a price” includes the actions of short sellers.
Ah, you’re right! The German tank problem was based on reading the serial numbers I think.
This is the “German tank problem”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_tank_problem?wprov=sfti...
I hear you on the overall privacy issues related to age verification with US Corps. My concern with government registries of personal information is related to things like:
- Netherlands, WWII: The Dutch civil registry meticulously recorded religion. It’s a major reason ~75% of Dutch Jews were killed, the highest rate in occupied Western Europe (vs ~25% in France, where records were poorer).
- US, Japanese internment: The Census Bureau provided block-level data on Japanese Americans in 1942 despite confidentiality guarantees; 2007 research showed individual names and addresses were shared too.
- Rwanda, 1994: Belgian colonial administrators had put ethnicity (Hutu/Tutsi) on national ID cards in the 1930s. Sixty years later those cards were the primary tool at genocide checkpoints.
There’s loads more. Europe may be safe now so it feels safe to give government this information. However, as shown in all the instances above, the information was collected for one reason and used for a wholly different reason when times changed.
Who knows what kinds of ethnicities, beliefs, behaviors or personal histories will be the focus of future regimes? It could be Roblox users, HN commenters, people who religiously repost x.com links as xcancel.com ones, anything. Whatever it is, they will have access to all the data on any system we allow them to record. This isn’t even a totally made up hypothetical from far away places, multiple governments in Europe were doing this kind of thing just decades ago. Historically speaking, we are all currently living in an unusually peaceful era, that will likely be temporary for many of us.
It’s just a short hop to not being able to see it at all. I started using pi.dev recently, the idea that a third party is taking more and more direct control of my software development process sits badly with me.
Standard. After first snooze and second snooze it’s time for the siesta. Then you have a small nap before proper naptime and before you know it it’s 5pm.
I don’t like it written that way either, and it always seems like the type of number you put on a slide for a head of sales or something. It rankles because:
- it implies that error could be increased n-times, but a 15x _increase_ in 9% error would be an error rate of 135%, which is nonsensical.
- a reduction from 90% error to 20% error is clearly a bigger improvement in rightness to a reduction from 9% to 2%. One is “almost all wrong to almost all right”, the other is “more right”, but they are both a 4.5x reduction in error which means that the 4.5 quantity doesn’t have a constant meaning.
The answer is something like log odds ratios, but that introduces the additional need for a reader to know what that is, and that would be unusual.
It would be a mistake to assume that people who don’t agree with you are really dumb.
The tricky thing about tags is that we get a tag for genai this year, what about next year’s thing and the year after that? We’d end up with a list of tags attached haphazardly all over the place. Flagging with a box to add a reason sounds like an excellent idea.
This sounds simple, but many people are already living further away because they can’t afford to live downtown near where they work. Add kids into the equation, and many people who could live there without them are also forced out.
Congestion pricing is a regressive tax.
We thought it would level us all up to equal the best of us, but instead it has leveled them down to within our reach.
I have been running from rainfall patterns my entire life.
