I didn't read thoroughly, but why does it need to run on AWS? Does the plugin send requests to a back end server and the server send the mass emails out?

My naive thought is that some frontend JS (without the help of a backend server) would be able to accomplish some of the features.
What kills me isn't just the stuff that people are complaining about in the U.S. regarding existing conditions...

It's that new development isn't, and I hate to use this word, progressive. Don't people WANT to be able to walk around, sit outside and so on, get to work quickly, etc. How can the answer to that be no?

The obesity epidemic is extremely tied to this misguided way of continuing to build cities.
I took a philosophy course on Utopian and Dystopian literature last year. The takeaway I had from the course is even more stark than this headline: Utopia and Dystopia are two names for the same concept.

In all of the utopias we studied -- from Plato's Republic through Thomas More's Utopia and including Marx's Communist Manifesto -- the question that kept ringing in my ears was "utopia for whom?" Every utopia makes assumptions about people that naturally divide them into identifiable groups. Some of these groups end up happy, others not so much. A utopia which purports to make everyone happy (shouldn't they all?) is one that assumes all people are the same or it endeavours to make them so. Either way, we lose our humanity in the process.
A big part of this is when you work on computers / with software all day, you're looking for pain points in the same place that most other developers are looking. There is certainly room for improvements in this market but it's generally much more saturated than others. (Hence the common advice to go work or talk with people out of the industry for awhile.)

Otherwise the best advice I'd give for finding problems is to start making a log of every time you get annoyed or frustrated at something. Your package didn't get delivered on time, you realize you have no milk when you're in the middle of cooking a meal, a driver on the highway is endangering people, your phone is too big for your pocket, radio stations all seem to play commercials at the exact same time, your home ran out of heating oil and no one will deliver until Monday, your hard drive failed and you realized your backup program wasn't including a new folder of vacation photos, even though you make an appointment at the barber/doctor every time you show up on time you show up you still wait 15-20 minutes, there's no Mexican restaurants that deliver to your house, you never know how your child is doing in school until they get their report card at the end of the semester.

There are dozens of tiny annoyances that we run into every day. Some have easy solutions, some less so, but they're there if you know what to look for.
Nasty Code-Execution Bug in WinRAR Threatened Millions of Users for 14 Years
One reason why I occasionally look in on DragonflyBSD is because of it's implementation of lightweight kernel threads seems like a compelling approach to addressing some of those trade-offs.
Yeah, I think you should be able to get that under a $1000 without trying too hard. But at $130K/month revenue, it's hardly a priority.

Yes, it's telling; it suggests you've had your fingers deliberately in your ears for five years.
In the UK the prosecution - 'Crown Prosecution Service' - present the mobile phone evidence and the accused is able to provide evidence for legitimate income. The court then decide whether to take the house and cars. Simple.
That would be wildly expensive as it would require you to drain the entire pool afterwards.
Full disclosure I read an early draft of this article. I made a few suggestions and one of them ended up as a direct quote attributed to me in the article.
> When someone says "reject labels", I basically hear "don't think primarily in terms of them".

I've yet to see a reason to believe that complex thought or communication is practical among humans, other than through manipulation of labels for abstractions over the underlying subject matter, so that doesn't change my objection to the argument one bit. You can recognize the limitations of the models underlying labels and be careful in choosing models (and thereby, relevant labels) that you have reason to believe are useful for the specific purpose and recognize that you're still subject to imperfect results in the best case, but labels are, ultimately, universally essential.

And that certainly doesn't mean you can't reject the utility of particular labels and their underlying model, either in general or for particular uses, but that doesn't get you to “reject all labels” much less that you must do so as a prerequisite for inclusiveness.
A DIY Cruise Missile (2004)
I will admit that I do not have much experience creating actor systems. But the actor model in inherently complex. To be fair, that's because it's trying to solve a complex problem. But unless you actually need thousands of concurrent processes, often you can do without it.

How would you make an arbitrary shuffle between arbitrary-lengthed vectors faster than an arbitrary gather/scatter to and from L1 Cache?

Its possible to have a chip code specialized transforms or have a many-to-many crossbar when N is small (ex: 16), but when N is large (ex: 1024 elements), its no longer easy to see how to build a high-speed permute operator.

-----------

That's the thing. People only use vpshufb because its WAY faster than L1 cache. If Intel made a faster gather/scatter, there wouldn't be much point to the vpshufb instruction. But the vpshufb instruction is so fast, because its so specialized and small. It only has to worry about a 16-byte permute.

In short: we ALREADY have an arbitrary permute instruction. Its called gather/scatter. That's not what programmers want however. (I mean, programmers want a faster gather/scatter... but... vpshufb programmers use that operator only because its faster than L1 cache)
Politics is a see-saw of right and left policey, swings one way, then over time the objection to that swing grows and you end up swinging the other way. But then, you can see this historically with the two party system, even though you have more than a choice of two. Those two are the majority and the way politics works, it's the majority (however small).

So yes, a push to one direction or another will increase and raise risistance, but then that's due to lack of engaging with the resistance and as we see play out time and time again in politics. Instead of engaging, it becomes one of posturing and what I call playground politics, with name calling and labeling to dismiss the opersition. Both sides are guilty of this, they both equaly hate it when they are the minority at the time and on the recieving end. Yet nothing changes. So you end up with a sing to one side for a few years or decade and then a swing the other way.

How do you solve it, well as with any negotiation, compromise, as they do in buisness. But I'm sure many who have been at board meeting trying to get thru a project would love to resort to the political approach of labeling and dismissing all objections and vilionising such objections in an internal marketing campaign. But we don't as we are adults. I just lament how politics today on both sides, often forget they are adults and left the playground behind years ago.

Sure there are politicians who are above such approaches, but alas they are drowned up by the masses and I often wonder - has politics today improved or gone downhill? Equally has it always been the case and is it more due to more faster communications of the news and media access that has allowed us to see it more clearly?

But then, physics has taught us that for every action there is a reaction. Which parallels in many walks of life outside physics.
I'm glad things worked out for you eventually. That super sucks to go through.

It is one of the reasons I am so very suspicious of folks who diminish the value of labor protections. Most of us end up downrange of some shady stuff at least once.
There's a super easy machine learning algorithm to generate faces: nearest neighbor.

I have the same concerns with recent writing AI that's been making headlines. It's too good and I swear it's just copying a couple sentences from here and a couple from there, or near enough so as to make no difference.

> You can't just blindly compare flops numbers like this. Hitting 13tflops on a GPU implies data has long been loaded into GPU global memory and tons of computations happen on it.

True, saturating a GPU is actually really really hard.

> Not to mention you're limited to 16GB at a time on a Radeon VII and you'd need to either use OpenCL or RoCM which is time consuming.

On a consumer card yes... on professional cards 32GB and up is common. That said most workloads aren't THAT big, and even if they are you can usually stage it in such that the GPU isn't ever really idle.

Vulkan and DX11+ support compute shaders now. MSVC has a custom extension too. There are plenty of compute libraries that exist that will prebuild and do all of this for you. It took me half an hour max to get set up to do this, there are reasonably good tutorials out there.

> Fact is, GPUs are great for a minority of workloads (definitely not most) that are very computationally intense but not memory heavy. As soon as you have lots of reductions, etc. where threads will wait a CPU will also be a much better choice.

Going to disagree here, memory bandwidth on a GPU is insane. HBM2 absolutely blows GDDR5 out of the water on total bandwidth and that blows regular old DDR4 out of the water as well. This is because GPUs would be dead on arrival if they can't actually process data that fast, in fact it's arguable that GPUs are more memory bandwidth constrained than they are anything else. This explains why AMD spent so much of the budget on the Radeon VII on HBM2.

As for reductions, what do you think Anti-aliasing is? There are very well known tile based approaches for this that again, blow a CPU out of the water.

For a GPU the biggest holdback is actually dataset size. Too small and the cost to go over the PCI-E bus in terms of latency will override the savings. If you can do the entire calculation as a series of shaders then write the result back to main memory you can easily out perform any CPU on the market (there are a lot of caveats here however in regards to datatypes, but let it suffice that a professional level card will).

Can you verify this 100%? You're absolutely certain that there isn't a single video on YouTube of a child where a grown up might've instructed them to do something that seemed innocent but the adult found sexual? I understand what you're getting at with the rest of your comment, but to sit there and say that not a single child on YouTube has been exploited or abused is really, really reaching and deserves a cited source.

Came here to say the same thing, but the fact remains that the fake faces are indeed quite convincing!

Perhaps they could improve the deception by simply cropping out 100% of the background.
That made me facepalm.

I pizzagate came up in a discussion with a friend of mine - both of us wondered how hard it would be to create a conspiracy theory from whole cloth, and get widespread belief in it - both of us were a little disconcerted that a mere individual would have that much power - but that is the issue with social media to an extent.
I agree that the structure of American democracy allows for the dysfunctional equilibrium that the US Congress presently finds themselves in, and I agree that some of that structure is in contrast to other contemporary classically liberal democracies.

But even a more functional and productive legislature does not have the same bandwidth to look at individual ambiguities, nor the mandate to do so, thats found in the federal appellate courts. Moreover, the reliance on case law does not remove the legislature's ability to adjust the statute when they believe that case law has got things wrong.

Please correct me if I'm missing something, but I see civil-law jurisdictions as having strictly fewer resources to clarify ambiguities in the law when compared to common-law jurisdictions. Although some civil-law jurisdictions happen to also have more productive and responsive legislative and regulatory bodies, as far as I can tell, that's unrelated to their use of civil-law.
That's... a bit different? AF447 is a classic case of human factors in aviation accidents. The stall would have been completely recoverable if the pilot had nosed down.
More generally speaking, when you optimize on a particular set of metrics to the extreme (when it comes to social issues this is what utopias try to do), you will inevitably cause another set of metrics to be correspondingly de-optimized to the extreme (which can be qualified as dystopian).

There is no way to optimize everything simultaneously because many things are fundamentally inversely correlated with each other (e.g. security vs freedom). So you either have a state that is relatively balanced (everything is mediocre), or a state with more spread (some aspects are really good and some are really bad).
Nice & succinct problem definition for why ACLs are so important for everyone:

> Let me show you an example. You have a Redis instance and you plan to use the instance to do a new thing: delayed jobs processing. You get a library from the internet, and it looks to work well. Now why on the earth such library, that you don’t know line by line, should be able to call “FLUSHALL” and flush away your database instantly? Maybe the library test will have such command inside and you realize it when it’s too late. Or maybe you just hired a junior developer that is keeping calling “KEYS *” on the Redis instance, while your company Redis policy is “No KEYS command”.

Without ACLs we need to rely on command renaming or completely isolating databases to guard against errors. ACLs sound complicated but they're actually a solid user experience improvement.

We can remove data from our official apps (or at least hide it). We do this for dmca requests.

But if someone is hosting it, anyone can access it through the command line, or if they take our app code and remove a couple lines.

Another way to look at it is, `http` isn't responsible for preventing illegal content to be shared, `lbry` is the same.

What I've Learned from Hacker News (2009)
> The benefit is that it's logged, always, and through a mechanism that is the same for every process. It's a trade off. We can argue whether it's a worthwhile trade off, or one that even really needs to exist (is there a reason they don't immediately show an error? I don't know)

Yeah, it seems feasible (and maybe a good default) for systemctl to dump out the same last few lines it would for 'status' if an administrative request fails. I don't know why this has to be a tradeoff; systemctl actions could easily both log and print (some limited subset of) the log on error.
An article brought to you by an institute that believes in:

"There are certain permanent things in society: the health of the family, inherited political institutions that insure a measure of order and justice and freedom, a life of diversity and independence, a life marked by widespread possession of private property. These permanent things guarantee against arbitrary interference by the state. These are all aspects of conservative thought, which have developed gradually as the debate since the French Revolution has gone on."

Yeah, too bad in many cases in companies where people play politics, the term toxic will be used as it suits best the person in power and their personal agenda, regardless of the textbook definition.

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold#Toxicity

> Although the gold ion is toxic, the acceptance of metallic gold as a food additive is due to its relative chemical inertness, and resistance to being corroded or transformed into soluble salts (gold compounds) by any known chemical process which would be encountered in the human body.

This is true of known natural metabolic processes, but not true with connection to certain drug interactions. Gold is not chemically inert and can be converted into an ion or gold salt, even within the body, when mixed with other reactive non-toxic chemicals. Gold metal is popularly consumed in trace amounts of certain alcoholic beverages and there are many medications that should not be taken in connection with alcohol for many different metabolic altering processes. I am not sure if it has been thoroughly tested, but a combination of gold and nangarin could also result in potentially toxic consequences, which is why certain fruits are forbidden with consumption of certain other chemicals/drugs.

This is exceedingly rare though, since platinum group metals are so expensive, but the same conditions are observed with other platinum group metals. Silver is more toxic than gold because it is more reactive, but the behaviors are similar. A major symptom of advanced toxicity from platinum group metals is a changing of skin color towards the metallic color of the metal toxin.

So, in other words, Germany provides different rights for citizens and non-citizens. Which is what the GP was saying.

Not having basic protections for non-citizens would be rather worrying, but let's not act like the mere existence of a difference is worth freaking out about.

EDIT: To be clear, I'm not suggesting that Justice Thomas's concurrence not providing these protections to non-citizens would be a good thing. I'm just saying that 'non-citizens should have the same rights as citizens' isn't a position held by any country on the planet.
