It's not just tech companies, many entertainment companies (e.g. video games, media) do the same, even at the risk of alienating or angering Western customers

AWS and Azure in China are the literal opposite of white labeling. It's still the global product, branded under the global name, (mostly) operated by the global organizations.

The affiliation with Chinese companies is borderline fine print, white labeling would be if you had "tencent cloud" which happened to behave exactly like Azure.

I think you still misunderstood. ryeguy_24 was *commenting on their own post*

They obviously clicked the link, because they posted it.

I think my comment laid out the problem very clearly. You need a _source_ for the information, not a place to persist it.

Do you have a solution for how to cheaply extract features from songs? If yes, I'd love to hear about it, but if not, your evangelism and impotent attempts to defend it are not productive to this conversation.

FLAC also doesn't give you the information these google'd API's did.

My bicycle won't run out of gas but that doesn't mean it's more useful/reliable than my car for a cross country road trip

I'm not familiar with the original case but was the legal system ever involved for the customers?

It sounds to me like it was only Rightscorp (sidebar, what a fittingly dystopian name for a company like that) sending letters to the ISP, why would anyone be compelled to act without a court order?

Can I just start sending notifications for random IP's to their respective ISP's and hope I get lucky with one of them torrenting movies?

Especially for things like cars where there's very few options and most of the auto industry does the same thing.

If you have even a single constraint outside the "industry norm" (like a manual transmission in the US, or potentially in the future an AM radio) you are all but guaranteed to have to give up nice to have features and/or pay a lot more

The whole point of this thread is that you're defending what you perceived to be a personal attack against Matt (calling him a tyrant) and the other poster was trying to explain that it was not, in fact, a personal attack.

So if you agree there's no personal attacks, I guess that settles things!

They stopped engaging because you seem either unwilling or incapable of understanding the difference between personal attacks and criticism of an artifact.

To try and take the emotion out of it, it's the difference between saying "I am tired" versus "this comment I wrote makes me sound tired"

Oh good catch, I thought python 2's depreciation was more recent, time flies I guess!

I know I'm preaching to the choir, but I do prefer not having to treat my bed as a hostile device on my network

That's a fair argument, but it doesn't appear that that updates are high on sleep number's priority list:

> The hub includes Python 2.7.18. While extremely old (keep in mind the Hub appears to have been last updated in 2018)

If we give them the benefit of the doubt, perhaps they intended to to keep it up to date but ultimately compaines need to either be transparent about their remote access and manage it responsibly, which includes keeping the system patched, or give up access

You're hand-waving away all the complexity in the "nitty gritty."

Enqueue absolutely requires coordination, if not via leader then at least amongst multiple nodes, if you want to guarantee at least once delivery

If you don't guarantee that, cool, but you're not competing with sqs

If you don't use pumps you need your whole supply of water to be sourced from the hight of the high point in the locks. How would you propose to operate a pure gravity lock system without an outside supply of water?

With the Panama canal, the crucial difference is that a large part of the canal is Lake Gatún, a freshwater lake, so they can't pump water up to avoid overdrawing the water supply

I appreciate pedantry as much as the next person, but I think it's safe to say that if you're using a shell without support for `help` you can make your way without it.

As a more practical suggestion, I find functionality detection is much less important since I learned to disavow all knowledge of a script when sharing it

Was this article written by AI? It's a strange mix of really basic stuff and true advanced suggestions, jumbled together with no apparent organization scheme.

Then the "complex tasks" are just a couple basic system administration examples that I can't figure out the purpose of either, they don't show off most of the tips mentioned above and don't really help inspire a sense of power for shell scripts.

My only complaint with GDPR is when I have to do boring work in the name of GDPR compliance :)

But it's also driven some pretty interesting projects, so I'd probably call it a wash or perhaps a slight positive, even if I were to ignore the major benefits as a consumer

Ah my bad, I guess the problem isn't quite as ubiquitous as I thought.

The use case I mean is the same as the other commenter mentioned, devices with a captive male USB c cable, the notable example for me personally is docking hubs, two of the three brands my work recently procured have got one of the other IT teams in a tizzy, because the procuring team didn't realize that the included c to a adapters were problematic. For one brand the adapter was permanently attached to the cable too, I wonder if as a mitigation for the chance of misuse?

But the general case is devices with an integrated male USB c cable

Another unfortunate blunder resulting from the complicated design is that usb C female to usb A male adapters are unsafe and prohibited by the usb C spec (because they can be used to make unsafe connectors)

You still see those adapters frequently because this stupid decision would hobble usb C adoption (since it would prevent you from making a usb C peripheral with backwards compatibility for usb A using an adapter) so manufacturers have largely ignored that part of the spec

Also it may work out that a lighter, faster probe with a shorter service life could have a greater effective range, if the service life is less sensitive to weight changes than the speed is

It's interesting to me how the article mentions the large payload requirement, then the only example of what that payload _could_ be is reconnaissance.

I always find it interesting how and when people or groups emphasize or de-emphasize the "death and destruction" aspect of military equipment

Is there a serif version of wingdings? I think that would be appropriate given the content

It doesn't sound like that's the case, per the link:

> This breaks sponsorblock since now all timestamps are offset by the ad times.

Sounds like either YouTube doesn't care about timestamp stability or they missed this in testing

Also by my interpretation it sounds like the author welcomed the excuse for a project

I'd consider it related, for two reasons:

First and foremost (and what I think the parent comment is getting at) whether you could truly say an LLM "understands" language

As a secondary quibble in the context of the parent post, though big overall, I would argue that the whole argument is moot since a human couldn't possibly learn the way an LLM does in a single lifetime

Except she wasn't "on" a diuretic, it was a contaminant orders of magnitude below the therapeutic dose.

Which is covered in the article.

And one of the main points of this article is that the rules are inconsistent and not based in reality.

To paraphrase the article (but don't take my word for it, I highly suggest reading it yourself), the rules are fatally flawed because of the bimodality where contaminants at arbitrary concentrations determine whether other medications in urine samples are allowed or not.

Nothing of the sort was glossed over, I'm not sure how you failed to read so spectacularly. Quotes from the article:

> Formoterol is a medication I take for asthma. I have been taking it for years well below the anti-doping threshold

> I refused the use of a nebuliser for asthma when I was so unwell I couldn’t walk upstairs because I knew I would need to apply for a TUE (Therapeutic Use Exemption).

It sounds like you skimmed over the part above at least, but misread it to mean the opposite

> My sample tested positive for 2.9ng/ml of formoterol. Formoterol is a medication I take as part of an inhaler called Symbicort. I have been taking this medication since summer 2020. It is listed by WADA as a threshold substance, meaning that it is allowed to be present in urine up to a concentration of 40ng/ml on the basis that it was likely the result of permitted therapeutic use.

> Although the WADA rules state that formoterol is allowed up to 40ng/ml [30], the problem is that the WADA rules also state in conjunction with a diuretic that ANY LEVEL of formoterol is considered an AAF [31].

And for extra credit, if you were to do one web search (or citation check) worth of "research" you can corroborate the last bit with info direct from WADA:

> Inhaled formoterol is permitted to a maximum delivered dose of 54 micrograms over 24 hours. The presence in urine of formoterol in excess of 40 ng/mL is presumed not to be a therapeutic use of the substance and will be considered as an Adverse Analytical Finding unless the Athlete proves, through a controlled pharmacokinetic study, that the abnormal result was the consequence of the use of no greater than 54 micrograms delivered over 24 hours. If a dosage in excess of 54 micrograms over 24 hours is required by the athlete, then a TUE must be requested

The title here is simply wrong, there's no nuance that could possibly make it correct.

Nethack, by design, changes the gameplay (slightly for some characters, greatly for others) based on the phase of the moon.

It tells you this, the same way the game tells you everything else.

There is no sane justification to call this a bug on either side, it's just a poorly trained model responding poorly to a feature it hadn't seen in training

The literal whole point of the game (as described by the opening text) is to retrieve the Amulet of Yendor and offer it to your chosen "god" (called ascension).

If score is not tied to progress in the game, I'd say the agent's scoring system is, by definition, incorrect.
