I meant both.

I wasn't aware that FUSE for Mac is signed nowadays. When I was checking it few years ago, it was an issue.

The iSCSI terminator for Mac still has the same issue. The code is on github, making it work is the user problem.
Yes, growing and composting is part of the natural CO2 cycle. The problem is not CO2 in it self, but all the extra we humans add to the natural cycle.

I like to think of it as having a glass with a hole in the bottom, as long as the stream in is the same as the stream out the level stay the same. Adding to the stream in or making the hole smaller will change the level and in the end overfill and spill
I don't think any of this matters. It seems the issue is, whatever was mentioned in the article could and maybe have put her in trouble with local authorities.

She asked them not to mention it, and they still did. Putting her at risk for no good reasons.
There is a difference between defending your nation and defending your country.
But in this particular case, some of the things described are actually illegal. While building a weapon is not necessarily illegal. Ignoring the ethical implications.

This reminds me of Watt's zen-based observation that we make all decisions by gut feeling, noting that it's _us_ who grant authority to outside sources, and that any time spent making a decision is usually dithering. Regarding the article, leaning on a previously concluded opinion, or saying "I don't know", are both forms of unthinking, and not being open in the moment (dithering). "I've seen Shunryū Suzuki take 5 minutes before replying with an answer. But he never hesitates." (There's a difference, see?)

"Creativity is not a team sport", an observation from Prof Vincent Walsh on neuroscience of creativity:

[There's] a very long and well-established literature in psychology that getting groups of people together is no way to come up with ideas. Creativity is not a team sport. What you're looking for is somebody's individual, intellectual trunk to make new connections and come up with something new.

Let's imagine billions of neurons in my head communicating with stuff they've been talking about all their lives together: there's a high probability that occasionally they'll come up with something new. Let's now think of the line of communication that you and I have got between each other, which is impoverished, because we have to try and translate complex ideas into language, and how many times do you find you've got a good idea, it's almost in symbolic thought inside your head, and you really can't articulate it to someone. And when you do, they get the wrong idea, because really, language can't encapsulate it until it's fully formed. There's no good evidence that I know of that these brainstorming sessions will come up with a solution or a new idea.

Ah yes then I remembered that wrong. Might be worth an issue opening on github :)

Automating a job is one thing. Some people may consider it unethical. But it is going to happen.

> We historians tend to make everything so nuanced that the idea of truth almost disappears. People in graduate history programs have said things to me like: Why should we privilege one narrative above others with the term “true”? That kind of implies that all narratives are equal—or, at least, that all narratives have some merit, that no narrative has all the merit.

This is happening a lot among more than just historians and it's a serious problem. Some things are true and that has consequences. Ignored, reality will pass us by.
I am not sure about that - those people I know who are waaay cleverer than me have bad days of course, but mostly if you ask them to explain the subject they love, they will talk (down) for days without getting bored.

Perhaps it's true for us all, we love to talk about what we do.
As another reminder to everyone: free speech is a cherished value.

There is an expectation on everyone's part to uphold these values. To practice tolerance. To pull together.

By not upholding these values, Apple is stating that they disagree with free speech. They are exercising intolerance. They are saying it is better to create separate little bubbles to exist in.
As far as I can tell from reading her Medium article as well as Vice's article and some miscellaneous Reddit threads (a.k.a. take this with the appropriate grain of salt) the timeline goes something like this:

1. Koebler begins a correspondence with Wu and interviews her in person for an article he's writing. Wu makes it clear that one condition for her cooperation is not to talk about her relationship status or sexual orientation.

2. After interviewing her, but before publishing the article, Koebler sends Wu an email asking whether she'd like to comment on a a very public and ugly Reddit/4chan conspiracy theory that she was getting help from her husband? and that not all of her work was her own. Wu becomes fearful that this means the article will touch on the restricted topics that she specifically requested that Vice would not report on. Wu and Koebler have a back and forth where Wu tries to impress upon Vice just how damaging these topics can be to her in the PRC, especially given that Vice articles are often translated, where the government could severely damage her, causing both physical and non-physical harm. Wu asks to see the article before it is published. Koebler refuses, stating it is SOP not to share articles before publication.

3. Wu threatens to use her Twitter followers to cause Vice reputational harm and force Koebler out of his job. Koebler stops responding to Wu's emails.

4. Before the article is published, Wu decides to take action. She takes to Twitter to call out Vice and Koebler. Separately she doxes Koebler in a video shared with her Patreon followers. Vice's lawyers have YouTube remove the video and Patreon close Wu's account. Patreon is a large source of revenue for Wu which forces Wu to search for alternative sources of income within China, which force her into additional compromises without fully recovering her previous already modest level of income.

5. The Vice article is published. Although most of it focuses on Wu as a Maker, Koebler includes a couple of paragraphs outlining his interpretation of what happened with the post-interview situation. This presumably touches on the things Wu did not want talked about in the article. This is the only mention in a fairly long article about anything to do with Wu's relationship status. It is unclear whether the original draft of the article was like this or whether the scope of how much mention of relationship stuff was changed in as a result of the back and forth.

6. Wu responds with this Medium article, which she feels only reveals a fraction of what has happened because she cannot talk about the rest due to the PRC government.

This I get - i often have an idea of how some code should look or work, but trying to explain it or justify it in a JIRA ticket is flat out impossible - it's easier just to write it and go there !
If anyone has any reading suggestions or research I should look into, I'm all ears
You both are right. Thank you for the comments.
This absolutely brilliant short story is based on the main point of the article:
http://compellingsciencefiction.com/stories/floaterscantfloa...
The training phase is when you are trying to minimise your loss function by trying different weights each iteration.

Once that is finished, you have a trained model which you can use by providing input and getting an output (with the weights frozen).

The training phase is very expensive computationally because you have to calculate the gradient of your loss function on potentially huge tensors.

The execution phase is not that expensive and commercial laptops will be likely able to run the model without any problems.
"However, she _does_ sexualize her appearance, and the majority of men are either conditioned or born to have a significant response to that. She's aware of that fact." I don't follow her very regularly, but it looks like she is a hacker in every sense of this word, she is interested not only in technology hacking but also in psychology/sociology hacking. She knows how people see her and she knows what she is doing by looking and acting the way she does. Just because she is a female, many people think she doesn't know what she does (like Make magazine editor). But when you grok jargon file and see what she does from bigger perspective, it all makes sense.
Part of the reason for this is because she's a fraud. She works with someone who went by the handle "timaz" in maker BBS's. Infact tons of the equipment she uses is his as attested by comparison pictures. His reddit account was coincidentally deleted around the time she first hit the scene.

Also, please. The CCP knows many people use VPNs in china. This alone does not make her a target. She's playing up worn stereotypes of China to appeal for sympathy.
That's a good point, and not one that I've considered particularly deeply to be honest. (I'd love to hear other people's point of view on the topic!) I guess in many ways the situation is similar to that around adblock. Ultimately, the links that are overlaid on a particular page should be solely and completely under the control of the user. If the technology that everyone is using permits this kind of behaviour, I'm not sure companies have much choice in the matter.
>given more practice humans would beat this version of the ai

given more practice bots would beat humans. that's the point, train bots, which are faster to train than humans to beat humans.
What’s your use case for this?
Parents of Sandy Hook victims are attacking Jones in a defamation lawsuit this year claiming they are harassed by people believing they are paid actors and the children did not even exist (or are still alive).

So this is raising the profile of Alex Jones.

As an aside, losing your child is probably one of the most horrific event that could happen in one's life. And moreover, imagine being harassed and accused of fabricating it and not even being able to go to the tomb. This is really hellish.

I understand HOW mastodon works. I've got my account. But I still don't understand WHY.

I got into twitter and facebook when I was a university student who gave a crap about broadcasting myself to the world. Now I'm old and don't care anymore, and I'm not deluded enough to think that anyone else cares. Is there a use case that goes beyond teenagers chatting at the lockers?
Maybe that's just me but I am having serious trouble understanding what you're saying.

"I don't know" is unthinking? What does unthinking mean? Or dithering, for that matter?

Why is hesitation relevant here? Why is it bad?
Conceptual Integrity – Revisited
She is in fact not a terrific hacker. Have a look at my other comment about timaz. Dig up his old posts/pictures on archive and compare the equipment with hers. He is in fact a great maker. She..who knows. But she definitely needs to be upfront about his involvement with her work.

Also her diction in writing far exceeds that of someone who learnt english watching videos and the like.

Have you wondered how much marketing goes into the smell of McDonalds? It's a mind corrupting scent and they want to spread it because marketing is even more their core business than actually feeding people. It's feeding in as much as pop soda is hydration.
In linguistics, a phatic expression /ˈfætɪk/ is communication which serves a social function, such as social pleasantries that don't seek or offer any information of value.[1] Phatic expressions are a socio-pragmatic function and are used in everyday conversational exchange typically expressed in situational instances that call for social cues.[2] In speech communication the term means "small talk" (conversation for its own sake) and has also been called "grooming talking."[3]

Is this bullying or just a misunderstanding?

Is it normal or even possible for western journalists to let a source/interviewer dictate the final content of an article?

I always assume that journalists can, and should, have freedom to write what they want as long as it’s true and accurate. If I say to a journalist something is “off-limits” I assume it means I’ll end the interview and not engage with them if they cover that topic. Not that I have a right to dictate what’s written in the free press.

I’m honestly asking, I may just be misinformed. Can a source generally put limits on a journalist like this?
Rhetoric vs. dialectic.
Ah downvotes. Hi Naomi/timaz. Bet my bottom dollar they are scouring this post to downvote the truth.
Unsubstantiated! If you want to make such a major accusation then why not make an effort and take the trouble to provide at least some reason to believe. And no, this is absolutely not a defence of Alex Jones. It's a plea for constructive comment that might be helpful if one's trying to assess an issue.
Were the students rich back then? Did they pocket student loans instead of spending them on tuition? Because I can't imagine how $320 could not be crazily expensive for an average undergrad.

(A decade ago, we'd just pirate the software we needed, because a tunnel to university's licensing server was both unreliable and a PITA to set up...)

BS.

She is always upfront about getting help. Everybody knows she has her English proof-read. Hell, the Medium post has a "message from the editor" at the front.
In the old days, you were a member of an organisation such as a university or a corporation. You had a home directory on an NFS server and in your home dir was a folder called public_html that you put your homepage in. So your URL was www.university.ac.uk/~username and your email address was username@university.ac.uk

This caused problems whenever anyone moved so in the early days centralised services were seen as a solution such as Hotmail and Geocities. No one in 1995 realised how it would turn out into abusive monopolies...
In C++ world this is expected behavior AND it's documented.
But in swift, protocols cannot declare default implementations but it's possible to define implementation to protocol using extensions. So in C++, it might look like this

struct Greeter {
virtual void greet() {
cout << "Hello, world!" << endl;
}
};

struct BaseGreeter: Greeter {};

struct LazyGreeter: BaseGreeter {
void greet() override {
cout << "sup" << endl;
}
};

int main() {
Greeter *greeter = new LazyGreeter();
greeter->greet(); // In C++ prints "sup", but in Swift "Hello, World!"
delete greeter;
return 0;
}
Yet, it's amazing how much information is freely available right now, given all the barriers that exist to host content.

At least it will be interesting to know by how much the amount of available information will increase when those barriers are taken down.
The (slightly more) premium version is Starbucks, which has all the above but is more likely to have a clean bathroom. Also more importantly, somehow Starbucks more reliably has WiFi you can connect to without having a working phone number to authenticate, which was a huge problem in Switzerland (I tried a McDonalds first, too, but needed a phone number).
I don't think being a coder has anything to do with your problem. It is common across all lifestyles.

Personally I had several episodes in my life when even getting out of bed was far too much bother. Two things worked for me.

1. Getting out of the house and going for long walks. Sometimes ended up sitting on some park bench and sobbing for a while. But then a bird would chirp, a toddler would stumble by or even an insect would buzz. When you hit rock bottom, there is only one way ... UP!

2. Writing long rants in a spiral bound notebook. Pages and pages. I called it my "Bitch Journal". I would go through it from time to time and write over, scribble, etc. Amazingly it eventually gave me clarity on what was hurting the most and what I could choose to do about it. Many months later I burnt the damn book and it was a most cathartic experience.

When I feel down and unmotivated, I remind myself that it is darkest before dawn.

Werner writes:

"Thus the theoretical dream world of “market equilibrium” allows economists to avoid talking about the reality of pervasive rationing, and with it, power being exerted by the short side in every market. Thus the entire power dimension in our economic reality – how the short side, such as the producer hiring starlets for Hollywood films, can exploit his power of being able to pick and choose with whom to do business, by extracting ‘non-market benefits’ of all kinds. The pretense of ‘equilibrium’ not only keeps this real power dimension hidden. It also helps to deflect the public discourse onto the politically more convenient alleged role of ‘prices’, such as the price of money, the interest rate."

Whether Werner supports his own argument adequately is an interesting question. What's not in doubt, to me at least, is that he is in agreement with Harari regarding price discovery being a fiction.
Once on my memory, HK govt had a crazy idea to "dump all homeless people to Shenzhen," but they were given middle finger by previous mayor, (one that went in front of firing squad.) with a dismissive comment "send your millionaires instead"

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION AND THE [MCDONALD's] FRANCHISE

CITIC is China’s largest conglomerate operating domestically and overseas, with businesses in financial services, resources and energy, manufacturing, engineering contracting and real estate as well as others. CITIC is a constituent of the Hang Seng Index
.
China’s consumer sector is growing rapidly, benefiting from continued urbanization, an expanding middle class and increasing disposable household incomes. China’s working population is larger than those of the US and Europe combined, yet spending levels of China’s middle class are a small fraction of those in more developed countries. As disposable incomes rise, people will continue to spend more on leisure and on dining out, and there is particularly great growth potential in tier 3 and 4 cities. As such, the market for Western Quick Service Restaurants is expected to continue to grow rapidly. This investment offers a chance to deepen CITIC’s exposure to the consumer sector, which is poised to be the main driver of China’s economy for decades to come. This transaction is also another step in CITIC’s efforts to better balance the financial and non-financial businesses.

CITIC sees opportunities for synergies with its existing businesses. McDonald’s extensive network and consumer base will provide CITIC with invaluable insight, which CITIC will leverage to the benefit of its existing businesses.

If she were doing an interview with playboy you may expect them to dig into her love life and other such things but she is an engineer interviewing with motherboard.
Because it is bs. Look up my other comment about who "timaz" is. She presents herself as being this great solo hacker while having a great partner who does the maker work.

Her points bout sexual orientation, vpn use and relationship status are also bs.

Chinese trolls will attack her for her dressing, which is unfortunate..the rest are her playing up tired cliches of china for sympathy and to unleash the gamergate crowd on Sarah Jeong. This goes way back. So yes, you correctly smelt something fishy and incongruous.
What a journalist can do legally and what a journalist should do ethically are two different things.

And talking about things that are conspiracy things on reddit.. yea not very uh.. high integrity? Not to mention they said that it was fine that these things would be off topic.
“Lust, Caution” was not banned from mainland China. I saw it in Shanghai in theatres at the end of 2007. Some scenes were edited out (mostly sex scenes iirc). Please edit your comment to reflect the fact.
>Have you wondered how much marketing goes into the smell of McDonalds?

It smells terrible so I don't get it. Is there a component of triggering addicts like how smokers like the burning cat shit smell of cigarettes?
She absolutely has not been. She got banned from Patreon for doxxing peoples addresses. Does that look like something someone with integrity does?
Vice have just demonstrated how practical it is for a source to control what and how things are reported.

However, if reporters want continued access to interesting sources then they should respect their wishes - particularly when it's for safety reasons. Anything less is scummy
I wonder how many of us slow thinkers are of the same calibre as Darwin but never achieve anything because life doesn't afford them the leisure to doggedly pursue their thoughts. In my case I think I only share Darwin's disadvantages but perhaps there are others out there who could have the same impact as he did if only the circumstances were right.
essentially the api will return all toots from whatever timeline you're asking it for, e.g. if your instance is federated with 5 servers, you'll get your timeline from people tooting from these servers, I think the "public" timeline (can't remember the exact name) is all the toots from all federated instances you federate with. So it would be the same data as the browser has.

I think the biggest problem for the app developers is an interface that lists a lot of instances that you can search for which you identify most with (I think some use a centralised list someone has created somewhere). But that's a bad UX to jump into as a new user.
