How many times have you changed your fridge temperature in the last year? Once a year? Twice?

And most importantly, these fridges always have someone close by. Make it a physical button instead of a remote function

It doesn't need to be perfect, it only needs to be better than what it is today (predictable passwords)

Yeah

And it would be (mostly) fine if they were on the net, with read only access

Hence why you need an alarm for alarm disablement

(I mean, you need also a bunch of other things but yes)

No need, just use any of the other libraries

Yeah, and it's not cron, it's "everything running on a digital schedule"

Analog systems naturally have a dispersion to them, digital ones, especially with everybody on NTP, much less so

cough OpenSSL cough

I guess I still have an HD somewhere with some of these

> encourages a lot of risk taking by banks. Which then begets more regulation.

Not with simple account deposits, no

Basel rules are still a thing

> But if you try to download in significant volume, their systems know it's automated and probably have signatures specifically for yt-dlp.

Well, the big G is not going to sit around and watch it being scraped

You mean the smart nerds

For the less economical-savvy ones it was like Beanie Babies or Tulips (with predictable consequences)

Also, one thing that has been happening without much awareness in the history of computer languages: shorter identifiers win over long identifiers

Why not { } instead of begin and end?

def or fn over function/lambda (or just () => now)

Symbols are confusing at first but become practical after a bit

About TFA: Also 'if/or' would make people confuse logical or with bitwise or, so I guess that's why it was eschewed

Another reason why CoPilot seems more "honest" than CC

Measured rates are not as straightforward as they seem

It's always a mix of the "true rate" vs screening/detection rates vs "dying of other things before detection" rate

> all you need is physical access to the network

Yeah that's not so much "trivially easy"

On the Tour de France I'm not interested as much in the bikes, rather than the pharmaceutical companies behind it

> it's basically standard A/B testing right?

Of course not. It might be if all you know is A/B testing, but no

If an LLM is giving a bad answer you need the question and the answer. Period

Well, again, how did people expect that to work

> - just track the metadata of the conversation

This is useless

What's the status of 'Faster CPython'?

I wouldn't be surprised if they all went nodejs instead :/

Yeah

I'd prefer to think someday supercapacitors before the inverters can take that inertial need, but in the meanwhile the spinning heavy thing solution works

Well, yeah

If the power company is going to annoy me (too much) for that, then tough shyt when they need my battery to compensate for peak hours

Very interesting and I think it makes sense to teach it, though I'd prefer something that works on MacOS

(what I don't get is why this page is breaking pgUp/pgDown)

Yes but a company only needs 1 CEO while they are paying for 100x or 1000x of SDEs

"Algorithmic transparency" sounds good on paper but it is bound to be as disappointing as people were when shuffling songs was truly random

And you can always claim it's biased towards one side. So, which one is which then?

Yes, the threshold of tolerating illegal immigration and of tolerating infinite handouts for retirees

Most of the "algorithmic transparency" people are activist members of big NGOs

The truth doesn't matter, what matters is getting more government money, and more regulation to get more financing, etc

NGOs are big business, and be assured, they don't care about fairness one bit more than Meta

Pensions outspend every other social expense in France

The retirees have greater disposable income than the young people (read, most people in the labour market)

And of course the number of retirees is going up every day

Honestly senators probably don't have the time to answer everybody directly even if their concerns have an impact on their decision

They are protesting against the same things that would make their situation better (like increasing the retirement age)

But they're too stupid to realize that

Tomato sauce companies?

Or companies that sit between tricky legal and technical questions without having f-you money but especially lacking on f-you legal advice

(One thing about these founders is that they also have a hard time understanding context and follow-up questions)
