It's in the Harvard student newspaper now, so will story now be propagated to the attention of a lot of newly-arrived, often idealistic, students?

If so, will how the university responds influence some of the culture for an entire class?

(For example, influence perception of how the university values integrity. Or how the university approaches it with process. Or how the university engages with students who raise a concern. Or for whether students should or can engage.)

I had some images in cache, but not all of them, and pull is failing

for example, i have redis:7.2-alpine in cache, but not golang:1.24.5-alpine

I needed the golang image to start my dev-backend

so i replaced FROM golang:1.24.5-alpine with FROM redis:7.2-alpine, and manually installed golang with apk in the redis container :)

> As a big tech programmer, it's almost never that simple...

I'll be fair and agree that I'm being a bit facetious here. But let's also admit that if you are unable to dedupe entries in a calendar with identical names then something is fundamentally broken.

I did purposefully limit to holiday calendars as an example because this very narrow scope vastly simplifies the problem, yet is a real world example you yourself can verify.

You're right that edge cases can add immense complexities but can you really think of a reason it should be difficult to dedupe an event with identical naming and identical time entries, especially with the strong hint that these are holidays? Let's even just limit ourselves to holidays that exclusively fall over full day periods (such as Labor Day).

Do you really think we cannot write a quick solution that will cover these cases? The cases that dominate the problem? A solution whose failure mode results in the existing issue (having dupes)? Am I really missing edge cases which require significantly more complex solutions that would interfere with the handling of these exceptionally common cases? Because honestly, this appears like a standard table union problem. With the current result my choices are having triplicate entries, which has major consequences to usability, or the disabling of several calendars, which fails to generalize the problem and also results in missing some minor holidays. Honestly, the problem is so bad I'd be grateful even if I had to manually approve all such dedupes...

If not, I'd really like to hear. Because it really means I've greatly mischaracterized the problem and I should not be using this example. Nor the example of a failure to FIND contacts with identical names, nicknames, phone numbers, birthdays, and differ only on an email address and note entry. Because I have really been under the strong impression that the latter is a simple database query where we should return any entry containing matches (failure mode being presenting the user with too many matches rather than a lack of matches. We can sort by number of duplicate fields and display matches in batches if necessary. A cumbersome solution is better than the current state of things...).

I'm serious in my request but if I have made a gross mischaracterization then I think you'd understand how silly this all looks. I really do want to know because this is just baffling to me.

If I truly am being an idiot, please, I encourage you to treat me like one. But don't make me take it on your word.

Of course it is. It automatically presents a clear and obvious conflict of interest, by which no reasonable person would assume zero impact.

No one gets paid $150,000 to not say what they're supposed to, and even then, they lost the case. It was unconvincing and, to quote the judge, "he cherry-picked and misrepresented study results and refused to acknowledge the role of genetics".

I mean shit, that's marginally better than the absolute garbage of Wakefield but not by much. It's embarrassing that this is where we are.

How does this work internally?

From the docs, it looks like it's building a graph to retrieve data, though the comparison it gives contrasts it to doing many small individual queries and passing them to other methods to get evaluated.

I find in the apps I'm working on, either services will build complex queries themselves, or they need to make multiple queries due to data needing transformations between queries that aren't simple to facilitate in the database itself (these services also tend to avoid code in the database, which I'm mixed on).

In the "Deep Composition" section it has a comment in the code `// These three tiles run in parallel`. Does that mean that the way of composition is through pulling in multiple different pieces of data then joining at the application layer?

I'm coming from a very much sql mindset and trying to understand the intended mechanism for data retrieval here. It kind of reminds me of how ad-hoc LINQ queries use Expression trees to resolve sql queries, but not exactly the same.

Or is the thought more that this would be used when you have many disparate data stores (micro services, databases, caches, etc) and doesn't make sense for a monolithic single-database application)?

I think betting needs to work like credit cards. When you get a credit card the bank does a risk assessment to evaluate your line of credit and you won't be able to spend over that limit.

Well, sports betting could have the same mechanism, where you are only allowed to bet an amount proportional to your line of credit.

If the banks don't trust you to spend over that limit and honour your debt, why should betting houses be any different?

The images I use the most, we pull and push to our own internal registry, so we have full control.

There are still some we pull from Docker Hub, especially in the build process of our own images.

To work around that, on AWS, you can prefix the image with public.ecr.aws/docker/library/ for example public.ecr.aws/docker/library/python:3.12 and it will pull from AWS's mirror of Docker Hub.

For me I think it's an ADHD adaption. When I was in classrooms, I really struggled to listen to what was being said unless I was doing something else at the same time. I often doodled in my notebook. It looked like I wasn't paying attention, but that was the only way I could pay attention. Now when reading comments or articles I'm constantly highlighting and unhighlighting sections as I read. I think it's just another coping mechanism to have some more stimulus to help focus on things.

The problem is the intersection of two things that have questionable social merit and you could easily see a society making illegal.

One of them is gambling.

The other is modern marketing.

Combined, they represent a substantial harm.

With nearly all of our social agency - which in our society means money - already in the possession of a tiny fraction of the country, with the bottom half of the country having approximately zero savings and spending at least as much as they have income? Any revenue gleaned from their dysfunctional attitude becomes a collective hardship, money that needs to be replaced by some form of subsidy to maintain our quality of life and avoid spillover problems like property crime.

I think that may actually be worse than if the dirt didn't contain any. Antibiotics only work well when the dose is strong enough and taken for a long enough period, anything less leads to the original problem being fought with no real benefit for having ingested them.

There is a similar concept for that kind of saying called the "hygiene hypothesis" though, but it's often taken too far to the extremes from what it's trying to claim.

>Odd to have officials speaking anonymously about an investigation while the Secret Service is putting out press releases about it.

This is a bizarre new take that seems to be making the rounds. Not that they are right or wrong but they've been a staple of national security communication and reporting for as long as once followed the news, which for me is dating back to the George W. Bush admin. Glenn Greenwald in his heyday had a field day ripping apart credulous NSA wiretapping reporting that relied on unnamed officials. In fact I think he popularized the idea that the pervasiveness of such quotes was so widespread that they constituted a systematic problem with national security reporting. Not that I think it's necessarily a good practice but I wouldn't say it's presence in a story constitutes a "tell" that anything about the story is unusual.

1. The reason why ChatGPT is free despite being honestly very advanced, is that they want the general public to have an association of ChatGPT being "the default AI", just like Google is the default search engine and YouTube is the default video platform. Once they have this position they can throw as much garbage at the users as they want and nobody will care. This is why it doesn't really matter how much it costs now to capture the market, if the potential benefits are huge.

2. Once the market is captured and solidified, ads and enshittification ensue. If you're willing to put on your tin foil hat for a second, I'd tell you that as a matter of fact the technologies to integrate different services with ChatGPT are being developed right now, and once they're ready it's just a small step to make sure that ChatGPT prioritizes answers mentioning those integrated partners, which can easily be justified to users as legit quality-of-life improvements.

Maybe the answer is indeed to just buy a book and go touch some literal grass, and let the civilization drown in the sewer of disinformation it produces.

I made the mistake of agreeing to undertaking that I would not use the trademarked brandname of one of my competitors' keyuwords in our Google ads bidding. Talking with a lawyer after the fact, I learnt that we can freely use the keywords but agreeing to the undertaking is a more serious and legally binding corporate promise. Now they are bidding on my brand names but we can't bid on them. So, I do agree Google search sucks, heh.

Works fine in AU settings too.

It's not as good as google at knowing where you are (gee I wonder why) but if I search Bahn Mi <my town> the results as good as google. Results for something niche like "Keycaps" are showing lots of local results too (or as local as you can get living outside a capital city in Australia).

I was interested in this, so perusing I found https://govinfo.library.unt.edu/ngisc/reports/2.pdf which estimates in the late 90s

"Estimates of the scope of illegal sports betting in the United States range anywhere from $80 billion to $380 billion annually, making sports betting the most widespread and popular form of gambling in America."

which seems surprising even at the low end.

similarly from https://www.americangaming.org/new-aga-report-shows-american... in 2022

"AGA’s report estimates that Americans wager $63.8 billion with illegal bookies and offshore sites at a cost of $3.8 billion in gaming revenue and $700 million in state taxes. With Americans projected to place $100 billion in legal sports bets this year, these findings imply that illegal sportsbook operators are capturing nearly 40 percent of the U.S. sports betting market."

I think what would be more interesting to me is estimates on the unique number of citizens betting. Is it up? If so, how appreciably?

It will. I actually made a test when NanoBanana first went GA which featured a photo of a one-legged man and asked the model to change the clothing into pants. It added the pants as requested and then proceeded to "heal" his missing leg in the process.

Very difficult for even SOTA to go against data that is as well-represented as bipedal humanoids.

There's some intense opposition to betting here. It's odd because in the UK sports betting is pretty much embedded in the culture. In fact i'm pretty sure the only reason horse racing is even a thing is because posh rich people like to bet on it. It's something which even the monarchy implicitly supports. I'm anti gambling personally which is part of why i hate crypto but i don't get why sports betting in particular is so objectionable.

My charitable interpretation is that it's a way for fans to feel more invested in the game. When their team wins they also do.

> at least ChatGPT attempts to give a paid option. Again, I don't think that'll stop them...

Netflix also attempted to give a paid option, but now we have an "ad-supported" plan. I think that same logic of maximizing profit means that even if there are some people paying for ChatGPT, the amount of free money that is sitting on the table means that we will see "ad-supported" ChatGPT pretty soon once the low-hanging fruit for quality enhancement start to dry up, which is kind of already happening.

CNCF has harbor [0], which I use at home and have deployed in a few clusters at work, and it works well as a pull through cache. In /etc/containers/registries.conf it's just another line below any registry you want mirrored.

[[registry]] location = "docker.io" [[registry.mirror]] location = "core.yourharbor.example.com/hub"

Where hub is the name of the proxy you configured for, in this case, docker.io. It's not quite what you're asking for but it can definitely be transparent to users. I think the bonus is that if you look at a podspec it's obvious where the image originates and you can pull it yourself on your machine, versus if you've mutated the podspec, you have to rely on convention.

My grandpa, a World War II Veteran, lived in Kansas City his whole adult life. He saw ballot measures come up over and over to legalize river boat gambling, and it failed for decades. Another initiative would always crop up a few years later.

In 1992, when the innocuously named “Proposition A” finally passed, these monstrous “riverboat casinos” were built all along the Missouri riverfront.

He said before he died, “it’s funny, once it passed, there weren’t any more votes on it”.

And that’s how this stuff becomes legal.

Yeah, as someone who lived through this entire saga first-hand as well, it's...an OK article but it's really missing a lot of things.

DFS, in particular, was and is very legitimately a game of skill. (In fact, looking at it from an Elo perspective and from the perspective of "Who should win?", it's more of a game of skill than the sports themselves!) There was absolutely no reason for it to be made illegal, other than to protect the tribal gaming interests in California and Florida. They pushed back so hard and with such little justification that the tide really, really turned against them in a much more broad way than they ever anticipated.

The ironic thing is, Matt King at FD and Jason Robins at DK probably would have been perfectly happy if the outcome had been that they be allowed to merge and that DFS is legalized and regulated. Instead Robins is a billionaire and Flutter made the best corporate acquisition of the 2010s.

When I tried, I got the expected midjourney site first up. I'm logged in to Chrome in case that matters.

For comparison DDG gave me the site as third link, which only just made the bottom of the screen.

DDG often gives me useless Ebay links which remind me of the early days of search.

Perhaps these single data points are useless?

On newer Android you can select any on-screen text with Google's Circle to Search. Long-press the navigation handle or Home button to open it, then circle, highlight, or tap the text. If it is not auto-selected, use Select text. You can copy, search, or translate directly without leaving the app. It also recognizes text inside images and screenshots, and Lens can even handle neat handwriting. I'm using it on my few years old phone and it absolutely changed the way how to handle things for the better.

Are you seriously stating that all law which has paid expert witnesses is now suspect solely because the expert is paid? Remember, Wakefield spoke garbage, paid or not. He had undisclosed conflicts of interest, his co authors retracted and the BMA withdrew his licence in the UK, his paper was retracted by the journal he published in.

The Dean was paid openly, directly, by one side of a case. As far as I know the meta analysis, which btw I do not think justifies the public health statements being made, has NOT been retracted, there are questions about methodology.

As you note, the case was lost. The judge used his discretionary powers to discount his evidence, and rightly so but the same judge will sit trial on case where he accepts the paid evidence of experts, routinely.

No. Don't make it different per person. Make it a blanket "maximum." Sure, one could just have multiple apps or accounts with multiple companies... Either way would be hard to regulate.

If we truly believe that sports betting (at this scale, at our fingertips on our phones, unlimited) is bad... trying to band-aid it won't work.

If the funding is available immediately (not just an immediate commitment for funding once they start a batch), would it address the following problem I've run into a few times?

In the last year alone, I've had to bow out of co-founding two promising startups with good biz co-founders, because first-year MBA students wanted to finish their degree before they sought funding.

Two ways funding could help:

1. I couldn't afford to work over a year as a technical cofounder, executing in full-time startup mode like usually needs to be done, with no income. While they were part-time, and getting an MBA and networking out of it during this period. Even ramen lifestyle funding would've made this closer to an equitable balance of contribution and risk among the cofounders.

2. There's also the concern that MBA programs seem to push students to have a hypothetical startup, so there's always a chance that the MBA student won't be fully committed to actually do the startup once they graduate. Maybe accepted funding could make this a firmer commitment. (Even if there's no contractual obligation to pursue the startup, I'd guess that new MBA graduates don't want to burn bridges in the small world of investors, so would take the commitment fairly seriously.)

> I'm anti gambling personally which is part of why i hate crypto but i don't get why sports betting in particular is so objectionable.

Because, like the article said, 97% of users lose money sports betting.

It's like the lottery (which I also didn't like the states legalizing). You're essentially taxing poor / uneducated people but with sports betting that tax is a profit to some random businessmen.

It's just like a drug. Just because some people like it, doesn't mean we should allow people to monetize the addiction to it.

It may comfort you to hear that the Starlink satellites are tiny in comparison to the vastness of their orbit – the visualization makes them appear larger than they are, so you can see them clearly – and that they’re low enough that they’ll naturally de-orbit and burn up in the atmosphere after about 15 years even without using their maneuvering thrusters.

They’re providing worldwide rural broadband, and according to the FAA they’re doing so in a way that’s careful and responsible about space debris and collision avoidance. Is disgust truly warranted in this case?
