THIS. Never promote the idea of "can you please not bother me with ads, there you go there is your extra $100, what, $200? okay sure". That's how mafia operates. Do not promote such.
That's how you self select as a high value ad target

Right next to my apartment building is a crosswalk that crosses a fairly busy street. The crosswalk is well-marked, and it has a sign in the median specifically stating that stopping for pedestrians is required by law. In the time I've lived here I've nearly been hit by cars several times on this crosswalk, and I've witnessed countless people almost get hit here as well. Once I saw a pedestrian yell at the driver, and the driver yelled back that they didn't have to stop because "I don't have a stop sign".
I noticed recently that the city installed a flock camera pointed directly at this crosswalk, and while I'm generally opposed to this kind of surveillance, and I wish they would implement other measures to make this safer, I really would love nothing more than for drivers speeding through here and not stopping for pedestrians to get ticketed. It's unclear still whether that's actually happening (and not that it matters once you're dead), but I'm finding myself empathizing with the argument for more surveillance for the first time in my life.
In Shanghai there's lots of strobe lights on major intersections to presumably take clean license plate pictures of people driving against traffic after an illegal turn. Pretty plausible it significantly increases compliance.

To be fair, this is not the first time we'e heard about this, https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/issues/13002 exists since March. However I also thought that the timeline to a complete project halt would be much longer considering the prevalence of the nginx ingress controller. Might also mean that InGate is dead, since it's not mentioned in this post and doesn't seem to be close to any kind of stable release.
> InGate development never progressed far enough to create a mature replacement; it will also be retired

Please correct me if I am wrong, but couldn't OpenAi just encrypt every conversation before saving them?
With each query to the model the full conversation is fed into the model again, so I guess there is no technical need to store them unencrypted. Unless, of course, OpenAi wants to analyze the chats.
The way I see it, the problem is that OpenAI employees can look at the chats and the fact that some NYT lawyer can look at it doesn't make me more uncomfortable. Insane argumentation. It's like saying an investigator with a court-order should not be allowed to look at stored copies of letters, although the company sending those letters a) looks at them regularly b) stores these copies in the first place.
Encryption that you have the keys to won't save you from a court order

Don't forget Germany. If you look at the amount of PV built in Germany early this century and make some admittedly strong assumptions about learning curve, one could argue the Energiewende, then usually called failure, singlehandedly accelerated PV development by decades. I don't recall Germany ever credited on that.
I still wonder the same about the EU and LED lighting. Prohibiting traditional bulbs was highly controversial at the time
nielsole commented on At the end you use `git bisect` kevin3010.github.io/git/2... · Posted by u/_spaceatom
I've used bisect a few times in my life. Most of the time, I already know which files or functions might have introduced a bug.
Looking at the history of specific files or functions usually gives a quick idea. In modern Git, you can search the history of a specific function.
>> git log -L :func_name:path/to/a/file.c
Alternatively if you do not have that set up, `git log -S` helps you find commits whose diff contain a specific string.
In college we discovered everyone's ID number was evenly divisible by 13. Presumably it's because that's the smallest number you'd need so that you could detect any one digit being incorrect, or two adjacent digits being swapped (I think?). Or that it's just very easy to implement the increment when assigning new numbers.
Isn't 11 the smallest divisor that gives those guarantees?
