Buried in this bill was also a destruction of the hemp industry as we know it. Cannabanoids now measured with all THC analogs, and max 0.4mg THC per package which is essentially impossible without chemical refinement of the flower.

Congress nuked a multi billion dollar industry, and hardly anyone was asking for it other than a few prohibitionists and weed stock owners who felt the hemp market a threat to their non-hemp cannabis fiefdom. A complete curveball that will likely produce a 10k+ impact on employment.

It was released in 2016 and does support AVX2. In general what matters when building a decent rig is aiming to balance performance to optimize against bottle necks. He demonstrated the system in various modern games, for instance running Delta Force at 4k/120FPS. And the CPU was scarcely getting touched - running at around 20%.

You can spend a ton of money on a bleeding edge CPU and see 0 performance gain in almost all cases, because basically no modern games are CPU limited, or even remotely close to it, so you're sitting there with your overpriced CPU basically idling.

-----

I think many people are out of the loop on PC costs and performance. The days where you needed some $1000+ bleeding edge rig to even begin to play the latest stuff are long gone. Since this thread is on consoles - an approximate PS5 equivalent video card is the RX 6700 XT which is like $200-$300, and that is, by far, the biggest expense.

Compounding pharmacies are regulated by section 503 of the FD&C act, and also subject to inspection.

Are you referring to the fact that the FDA does not inspect all facilities because they have limited resources? This applies to pharmaceutical companies as much as it does to compounders. If you think the FDA posts inspectors at every pharmaceutical company in India, you’d be wrong.

Yes, but it was a public service not a service for the maintainers, and as a member of the public who like anyone who had run `ffmpeg -i <thing I downloaded from the internet>` was previously exposed to the vulnerability I highly appreciate their service.

I'd highly appreciate even if the maintainers never did anything with the report, because in that case I would know to stop using ffmpeg on untrusted files.

"large corpus" - large compared to the amount of Python on Github or the amount of JavaScript on all the webpages Google has ever indexed? Quantum Prolog doesn't have any relevant looking DuckDuckGo results, I found it in an old comment of yours here[1] but the link goes to a redirect which is blocked by uBlock rules and on to several more redirects beyond which I didn't get to a page. In your linked comment you write:

> "has convenient built-in recursive-decent parsing with backtracking built-in into the language semantics, but also has bottom-up parsing facilities for defining operator precedence parsers. That's why it's very convenient for building DSLs"

which I agree with, for humans. What I am arguing is that LLMs don't have the same notion of "convenient". Them dumping hundreds of lines of convoluted 'unreadable' Python (or C or Go or anything) to implement "half of Common Lisp" or "half of a Prolog engine" for a single task is fine, they don't have to read it, and it gets the same result. What would be different is if it got a significantly better result, which I would find interesting but haven't seen a good reason why it would.

> There is another thing called world models that involves predicting the state of something after some action. But this is a very very limited area of research. My understanding of this is that there just isn't much data of action->reaction.

Folks interested in this can look up Yann LeCun's work on world models and JEPA, which his team at Meta created. This lecture is a nice summary of his thinking on this space and also why he isn't a fan of autoregressive LLMs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUmDRxV0krg

Oh yes. Quite bad and I don't know if things are getting slightly better than "bad" or the media is tired of reporting about it.

Up until a year or so ago, an appointment at a GP would take weeks of waiting. Specialist appointments were 1+ years waiting time. This is somewhat better now with the establishment of critical-care clinics operating after hours. This is from personal experience.

The emergency rooms often had waiting time of 12+ hours(or more). I know someone who has been waiting on a procedure at the public hospital for 6+ years. Another has a child waiting for an appointment with an estimated wait time of 3+ years. All non-urgent but a wait list in the years is no longer a wait list to me, it's a system that is not fit for purpose.

Initially all of this was attributed to the pandemic and the harsh lockdowns in Victoria. But a few years out, it seems difficult to still do that. When asked, our government just re-states that they've invested in this and that and then deflect. Recently, due to the horrible state finances, the healthcare system was being downsized with services cut and the bloodshed continues. This is without talking about the systemic issues and incompetence I've seen.

The funny thing is that outsiders think that public health care means free. It's really not. We pay for it on top of our income tax(1-2% on top, more if you're above a certain threshold) and it is not cheap. It wouldn't be so bad if it was working like you'd expect but paying for a non-functional system is....I don't know what to say.

There's a real issue for both Valve and the game dev if this happens. The public isn't going to take this key doesn't work or worse my game stopped working after I bought it and blame nebulous credit card fraud, they're going to blame Valve and/or the dev

It would definitely work better with an actual withdrawal from currency. It's weird to have individual businesses having to decide when and how to handle the slow disappearance of coins.

But then, there's a lot weird about American currency to me. Like I have heard that repeated attempts to introduce a $1 coin "didn't catch on". In Australia it was pretty simple - they took away all the $1 notes, they made a gazillion $1 coins. It wasn't optional. There wasn't any question of "catching on", it was just...this is what we do now.

They do manage almost all of them for you. If you’d like we can get some of the EC2 engineers on our team to tell you how.

If you don’t think IAM is a better set of semantics for securing your infrastructure than nightmarish k8s rbac i really don’t know what to tell you.

Can you think back to your batch and honestly tell me that the companies that used k8s are in a better place?

Why would I want to go the route of having to plug in the controllers and not be able to use them while I charge them versus just swapping in a set of spare, charged batteries? Rechargeable AAs have been around for decades! It's the same setup my quest 1 and 2 have, and it has never failed me, I got 4 batteries total, 2 in the charger, 2 in the headset, I swap them around when they eventually (after a looooong time) run out.

With the static huffman table, the decompressed output is very similar from what you'd get with this algorithm:

loop: chance to exit chance to output a random byte chance to repeat some previous bytes

If decompression succeeds, the chance that 95% of the output can disassemble is not very different from random noise, except sometimes it'll get lucky and repeat a valid opcode 120 times so maybe it's slightly higher.

But the chance that 100% can disassemble gets more complicated. It's two factors multiplied together, the chance decompression succeeds, and then the chance that the output can disassemble.

If decompression is successful, the output will have a lot fewer random bytes than 128. The repetitions have some impact, but less impact. So the chance that the output disassembles should be higher than the chance 128 random bytes disassemble.

With DEFLATE in particular, decompression fails 95+% of the time, so the overall odds of decompress+decode suck.

This is partially mitigated by DEFLATE exiting early a lot of the time, but only partially.

If you made a DEFLATE-like decompressor that crashes less and exits early more often, it would win by a mile.

If you made a DEFLATE-like decompressor that crashes rarely but doesn't exit early, it would likely be able to win the 100% decoding test. Some of the random bytes go into the output, some get used up on less dangerous actions than outputting random bytes, overall success rate goes up.

I think there is a lot of hypberbole in your argument. People interacting because they have no other choice is not a good thing. Do you think forced arranged marriages are good? Do you think being stuck in a toxic relationship of any kind is good? Even on the milder side, boomers and gen-x are chok full of marriages that started because people didn't want to be alone, or because it's "what everybody else does" and then they end up in divorce, and you have all sorts of messed up "children of divorce" left behind.

I don't think anyone would choose a relationship with a computer, or isolation when the alternative is a healthy relationship of their own choice. There is still no replacement for real and authentic human relationships.

Relationships are hard, but entering them should be voluntary, not coerced. and my answer to Ms Deejay is: Yeah, we're better off alone than being stuck in a coerced toxic relationship. No one goes "hikomori" or "forever alone" when they could have just put up with some disagreements and uncomfortable situations.

It's important for people to learn to be alone and ok with it. to be content and happy with your own company. If I was being a reductionist, I would even claim that most of the ails of the world are rooted in coerced relationships. Conflict as the default state of a relationship is not better than solitude. But solitude as the default state of a person isn't healthy either.

Balance is key to most things. Have relationships, put up with the messiness of people, but up to a point. Be comfortable with solitude, but up to a point only. Be your own friend first, so you can be one to others.

People are being more isolated, but not because they want to be to the most part, and not because of techonology, but by the reconstruction of society so that the most labor and capital can be extracted from a person. Public transportations, public spaces, walkable cities, social media that isn't a brainwashing machine, AI that isn't trained to manipulate human psychology,etc.. those are the changes we need. The false dichotomoy of "all or nothing" you eschew is anathema to the goals you seek.

Hermits have been around since forever. You can hunt in the woods, read books and chill with your dog in the Alaska or any number of remote places, and many have done that all through history. Your sentiment is similar to how they thought people won't even talk to each other anymore in person after the invention of telephones. People talked less in person for sure, but we still talk to each other in person, even when a call is easier.

The keyboard feels good to type on, it's quiet enough to not make me self-conscious when using it in the office, and I enjoy the layout (lower 'backspace' key and smaller form factor).

Plenty of things to like - the ghosting happens occasionally but not enough for it to be a dealbreaker. Although I did change my vim keybinds so `:wq` and `:WQ` both save & quit lol.

Why should that mean anyone else should lose control of their device? Maybe at some point you have to accept that it's the user's responsibility? Maybe empower users to be aware of what the apps they install are doing, without take their control away?

This is how loss of autonomy always happens in every sphere: make an argument that it's for their own safety that individuals are losing autonomy, and the entity gaining control is superior in knowing what's best, and is taking control only out of the goodness of their heart.

Very sad, for more reasons than one. For pretty much everyone, heart disease is totally preventable now. If you’re over 30, get your ApoB checked (non HDL cholesterol is a proxy), and if it’s high, get a calcium scan on your heart. If you score above zero, get your ApoB down as low as possible (which will probably require drugs - diet barely moves the needle on this for most people). Low ApoB -> no heart disease.

re OTPs, there's a special permission-less way to request sms codes, with a special hash in the content so it's clearly an opt-in by both app and sender: https://developers.google.com/identity/sms-retriever/overvie...

so no, it's not necessary at all. and many apps identify OTPs and give you an easy "copy to clipboard" button in the notification.

but that isn't all super widely known and expected (partly because not all apps or messages follow it), so it's not something you can rely on users denying access to.

This is the laziest, most egregious "WeLl AkShUaLlY!!!" comment I've seen in a little while. Like, really embarrassing.

> According to the regulator for Ontario doctors, Jamal initially tried to place all the blame on her innocent research associate, almost ruining her career. She then tried to discredit her colleagues, claiming they had ulterior motives for questioning her results.

> When that didn’t work, they found Jamal tried to cover up her fraud: She illegally accessed patient records to destroy and change files, disposed of an old computer so investigators couldn’t examine it and even went into the Canadian Blood Services facility and changed freezer temperatures to damage blood and urine samples to mask her deception.

> And in March 2018, after admitting her misconduct before a disciplinary committee of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Jamal was stripped of her medical license.

Yes, but it's often just "a W" or simply "W" in response to something good or seen as a "win."

There is also the same thing with L for loss/loser. "that's an L take", "L [person]", "take the L here", etc.

They are pretty straightforward in their meaning, basically what you described. I believe it comes from sports but they are used for any good or bad outcome regardless of whether it was a contest.

Her behavior is completely psychopathic.

It has to do with the integrity and willingness of someone to tell the truth; if she's willing to destroy evidence to avoid criticism, what other types of mistakes is she willing to cover up when dealing with a patient?

This seems pretty obvious, how are you not understanding this? It isn't her effort to produce new knowledge, its her willingness to lie in the face of failure.

If a patient of hers dies or starts to decline, she could falsify cause. The list goes on. She is so far on the slippery slope that it is dangerous for her to care for anyone.

Incredibly disappointing release, especially for a company with so much talent and capital.

Looking at the worlds generated here https://marble.worldlabs.ai/ it looks a lot more like they are just doing image generation for a multiview stereo 360 panoramas and then reprojecting that into space. The generations exhibit all the same image artifacts that come from this type of scanning/reconstruction work, all the same data shadow artifacts, etc.

This is more of a glorified image generator, a far cry from a "world model".

As I understand it, the old system was:

- UK, Canada, Guyana, probably more countries shared intelligence on suspected drug vessels in Caribbean

- US Coast Guard accosted said vessels, searched them, arrested everyone if anything illegal was found.

Now it's:

- UK, Canada, Guyana, have all said they're not going to share intelligence, decreasing(by whatever percentage) the chances of finding a drug smuggling boat, and increasing the chance of it making its way to the USA.

- US Navy blows up what boats it does find without checking them for drugs, increasing(by whatever percentage) the chance of killing innocents, and degrading intl law & norms.

What does the US benefit from this new policy?

Depends on protocols, but hence why EMS’ job is recognition of the right issue (the best we can do), there are things we can evaluate to determine if we think its an aortic aneurysm even at the emt level to rule that out before making the determination to give aspirin (eg: comparing bilateral blood pressures, checking for pulsating masses)

a heart attack is far more common than an aortic aneurysm.

Counterpoint: Humans visualize stuff in their minds before trying new things or when learning new concepts. An AI system with LLM based language center and a world model to visualize during training and inference would help it overlap more of human intelligence. Also it looks cool.

Not sure what you’re asking.

You can get fullscreen video in a desktop browser by pressing F or clicking the fullscreen icon (broken rectangle) below the video.

You can get ad-free playback by paying for Premium or sometimes with an ad blocker.

Outside the browser, you can get both with yt-dlp, which also integrates into video players like mpv.

yes, they're admitting that their APIs are powerful enough to build accessibility tools (which often must read notifications) and many other useful things (e.g. Pushbullet) that are not possible on iOS.

powerful stuff has room for abuse. I didn't really think there's much of a way to make that not the case. it's especially true for anything that you grant accessibility-level access to, and "you cannot build accessibility tools" is a terrible trade-off.

(personally I think there's some room for options with taint analysis and allowing "can read notifications = no internet" style rules, but anything capable enough will also be complex enough to be a problem)

I'm really wondering about the CPU+GPU.

Like in some contexts it sounds like a single APU with both.

But then it has normal and graphics RAM?

So is it 2 SoC? Or one connected to two kinds of RAM? Does the GPU have direct access to the non graphic memory?

The dedicated RAM makes it looks like 2 chips, but number of CU and similar make it look like an APU/integrated graphics???

I mean even with FSR 8GiB of graphics RAM is a bit tight for 4k60fps. But on the other hand recent consoles (e.g. PS5 Pro) do promise similar things and have 16GiB for _both_ the CPU and GPU which in effect also means only roughly around 8GiB dedicated to the GPU. So it still is viable. And if the GPU could directly access the non graphic RAM then it could easily outperform a classical 8GiB RAM GPU????? But I guess it's probably nothing fancy like that.

One good thing about it not having a AMD Max SoC or similar is that it probably will have console pricing. I mean for Valve Steam devices are about making sure Windows can't kill Steam and Steam staying relevant even if Windows decides to suicide themself with ads. So I would guess the price concept is similar to the Steam Deck, no loss, but also not a huge profit margin.

They shouldnt have any rights to data after its released.

They are causing more damage than anything chatGPT could have caused to NYT. Privacy needs to be held higher than corporate privilege.

>Think about it this way. Let's say this were a book store selling illegal copies of books.

Think of it this way, no book should be illegal.

>They can't know how often that's happened and OpenAI has an obvious incentive to simply say "Oh that never happened".

NYT glazers do more to uphold OpenAI as a privacy respecting platform than OpenAI has ever done.

>If this never happens then the amount will be low.

Should be zero, plus compensation to the affected OpenAI users from NYT.

>The user has no right to privacy.

And this needs to be remedied immediately.

>The same as how any internet service can be (and have been) compelled to produce private messages.

I happen to live in one of the few districts in CA that has a republican representative. I was looking forward to voting him out but then CA got gerrymandered and now we'll likely have a Democrat representative next term.

I didn't like our republican representative but it seems kinda shitty that the folks who did like him and voted for him suddenly didn't get a say in who their representative ought to be. I mean, sure they probably voted No on 50 but most of the yes votes came from outside of our district.

Edit: I strongly hate gerrymandering but I also acknowledge the need for the democrats to play dirty because the Republicans are, and "being the better person" doesn't seem to be a viable political strategy anymore.
