I understand that this is research worth doing, but for the love of god, they need to improve the messaging of this to the general public because, as it currently stands, it's outright hysterical.

Reads like an onion article. I've gone to great lengths to avoid ads - but it's a war I am losing. Content is now interleaved with ads at the creative stage in subtle (and not so subtle) ways, this inexorable convolution occurs ev

AI or not - can we agree to stop doing this now that AI has ruined it: "But the thing I can’t get past is Fort Huachuca’s failure mode. Not: the freezer compressor died. Not: the power went out. Not even: the refrigeration system stopp

I do think one day that LLMs may be so 'aligned' that hacking culture will have a resurgence in some way. In the sense that the only way to do anything a bit below board will be done manually.

In a legal sense any unwanted intrusion can be considered hacking - i.e. a 'hack' is not contingent on penetrating authorization. In practice most APIs are secured by obscurity rather than any high quality rigorous authorization.

Generally any material you intentionally delete after you are told to hand over evidence is considered to be the most incriminating version of that material in a court of law.

This would still be destruction of evidence - virtually your only defense against that would be if it was not triggered by you .

Because empirically people are happier when they work. When you decompose work into it's constituent parts - there are a bunch of incredible psychological things (meaning, responsibility, societal integration) and not so incredible t

The cycling equivalent is your power curve, i.e. the longest you've held a power for a certain time interval.

"Equidistant" is not a good metric for convenience. The most convenient pubs are nearly always someone's local or the midpoint between everyone's workplace.

Nightcall was kind of the anthem of my life for my early 20s. Still captures a moment. RIP.

If you are seriously interested and this isn't just some automated slop experiment you should look into and understand how VLMs and vision encoders work.

Jewelry is a veblen good whose price is mostly based on provenance. I'm not sure any classifier could do anything but guess on surrounding context. Insurance classifiers are much less naive than you'd expect, btw. I have designed

I guess you're fine commuting home in the dark? But regardless, you can navigate without light an hour before sunrise.

To be clear if I showed up to a company running their own company NTP server that they desync twice a year to make timings work - I would absolutely try to migrate them away from that. Now if they are doing that there is probably bigger fis

What people usually mean by abolishing DST is permanent summer hours. If your problem was sunrise timing, then problem solved - DST actually moves that earlier than you require twice a year for normal working hours (i.e. less sun in the ev

I guess that is what I'm trying to show in the above example. You could technically shift your UTC jobs by running your own NTP server and desyncing it from UTC by the offset you want. It would work, but it would be nightmare fuel. And

If you are looking for an example I did some contract work for a company in Turkey that implemented winter hours and summer hours for their office after abolishing DST in 2016. As far as I understand it, it's fairly standard across the

It's pretty astounding to me the number of pro-DST advocates in this forum. If you had hundreds of daily jobs on your platform and you happen to have some regular requirement to change them in unison, if a junior engineer said "le
