Well... "free" has been used like this for thousands of years. Traders/merchants spouting free this or that, like a car dealer giving free oil changes, or midas with a free inspection.

Nothing is free. Ever.

What's changed is you personally know this now. Many still fall for this, and there are always more humans to be scammed.

Bear in mind, most of humanity can't read. Are not really literate. The UN's definition of literacy, is reading at a grade 6 level.

Not how you read in 6th grade, but whatever lets a 6th grader, make it to 7th grade.

Can someone read a stop sign, do not enter sign? That's pretty much 'literate'.

While street smarts exist, bear in mind how many 'stupids' exist...

So yup.. lots of fresh pigeons.

When I was consulting in Oaks PA I tried to walk from my hotel to the local pub. It wasn't particularly far, but walking along unlit and unpaved tracts of land wasn't particularly appealing.

I would have walked if there were any affordances at all, but ended up driving more often than not.
No, I said quite clearly there are no exemptions due to their size. There's a difference between an exemption for companies with N+ employees and tax credits/exemptions you can capitalize on because you are a company that makes billions of dollars and can afford to take on different behaviors to take advantage of them. That's not the same thing at all.

Text chat is amazing. Maybe growing up in the heyday of chat services has made it feel natural to me, but I don't understand these complaints about how people don't feel like they can connect emotionally etc etc.

Do you need to do these interactions over Zoom? Or is it habit?

It's like, if you can connect with a book, you can connect over chat. It's just words.

When I lived in Chile, I really enjoyed the little tiendas everywhere, particularly the ones that were bakeries. I have a hard time imagining how well something similar would work in my suburban neighborhood where everyone has cars. Maybe a destination like a cafe, but it just makes more sense for people around here to get a bunch of shopping done at the grocery store 5 minutes away in their car.
I'm having trouble figuring this out nowadays. Several times now I've had the issue of search engines not returning useful information because what I'm looking for is too niche.

One strategy I've tried is finding some forum or site where there is likely to be an expert, or at least generally experienced with what I'm looking for.

A lot of times I also check the wikipedia article first if it exists because I figure it should give me a decent synopsis .

I'm not familiar with that person (poster?). But taken to the extreme it could also be an endorsement for Communism or something like it too, but I don't think it's usually healthy to take things to the extreme.

I prefer a middle ground and the original intent (at least as much as is commonly told) around copyright, trade secrets, and patents seemed to be a relatively healthy take on that even if it now needs an update. Depending which path you choose there's a trade-off between how much the creator gets and how much society gets, with varying degrees of control, protection, and communal ownership. The creator gets to choose, but they have a limited set of choices agreed upon by society, rather than individual agreements for every item we buy.

Why do you need high density for mixed use?

Criminally illegal content is called obscene. This content does not fall into that category so and so it is not criminally illegal. It is clearly a form of libel, but there is no cure available because all parties are shielded by law from torts. Had this exact same violation occurred in any other medium of publication there would be no legal shield in place.

For an even more heinous example see the Joe Scarborough murder conspiracy theory.

>However there is nothing intrinsically wrong with a sprawling urban area enabled by cars. You just need to take care to design it well enough.

Optimizing for individual transport in cars and public transport are not compatible goals. The first reason being that if individual transport is made available to most people, they will opt out of public transport and therefore all political will for maintaining and increasing quality of public transport will disappear.

And optimizing for cars means you can't optimizing for walking or other forms of transit.

> It’s an update to older law that was written pre-internet for older style publishers

Specifically, common law defamation. The two cases that the authors of Section 230 principally had in mind were Cubby v. CompuServe[1] and Stratton Oakmont v. Prodigy[2].

> It doesn’t have to do with recommendation algorithms.

It theoretically could. Section 230 basically immunizes websites from defamation suits. The question in the above two cases was the degree of editorial control that CompuServe and Prodigy exercised. If you exercise insufficient editorial control, then you're not liable for defamatory statements made by users of your platform; you're just a passive entity, no more liable for libel than the telephone company is for slander. If you exercise sufficient editorial control, then you're directly liable for any defamatory statements as if you made them yourself in the first instance, much like a newspaper is liable.

There's no hard-and-fast rule for what constitutes sufficient editorial control, especially as it regards online interactive services. Section 230 stopped the evolution of the caselaw in its tracks. If the bar is relatively low, then some automated recommendation systems conceivably could trigger liability, presumably based on how sophisticated they are. I mean, that is the impetus for removing Section 230 protections afterall--recommendation algorithms that seemingly popularize "fake news", some of which is defamatory in nature. The selection of which user posts to popularize, and the manner in which they're presented, could constitute editorial control the same way a newspaper selects and frames statements taken or revealed by journalists. In fact, it might be worse for some websites--journalists and editors can interject weasel wording[3] to avoid liability, but algorithmic systems aren't that smart. And because defamation is a common law claim, the rules are likely to vary state by state.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubby,_Inc._v._CompuServe_Inc.

[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratton_Oakmont,_Inc._v._Prod....

[3] Or another way to put it: reasonable qualifiers and narrative structure that make it clear the publisher isn't affirming the truth of the matter asserted.
you mean NDAs that basically state that whatever you tell amazon belongs to amazon?
From having spoken to people who worked on object clustering for Froogle in the past, I think the base issue is that it's surprisingly hard to extract all the metadata accurately from descriptions. Even if you provide an file format and allow merchants to upload all their item descriptions with structured data, you'll still just end up getting bad data from a lot of merchants, and then you have the problem of whether you want to accept the inaccurate data provided by the merchant who has an incentive to misstate things, or the inaccurate data provided by your flawed automatic text extraction systems.

I'm not sure if there's a good workaround for this besides buying from places specializing in the specific types of items you're looking for, which comes with its own set of tradeoffs in price, convenience, etc.
>Politicians who describe whole categories of persons as “criminals” are imputing to them permanent character traits that are frightening to most people, while simultaneously positioning themselves as our protectors.

What category specifically is the Portland Police describing as "criminals"? They are specifically calling those partaking in a riot "rioters". None of this is race related, and as a matter of fact, the vast majority of these rioters are white.

>Such language undermines the democratic process of reasonable decision making

The decisions have been made. Defacing and burning down buildings and assaulting officers is illegal. Partaking in this illegal behavior in large groups is what rioters do.

>Another salient example in the U.S. context is the use of the term “riot” to describe political protests.

No one is describing the peaceful protests as riots. The riots are described as riots.

The rest of your post is full of illogic and is clearly not describing what we're seeing in Portland. By no legal definition is what's going on in Portland now considered a "peaceful protest".

>Discussion that uses terms like “criminal” to encompass both those who commit multiple homicides for pleasure and those who commit traffic violations

Homicides are criminal, many traffic violations are decidedly NOT CRIMINAL, and instead are civil infractions. Much like riots are criminal and protests are civil. Perfect example actually, thanks for proving my point.
The question isn't how you and I can individually avoid being spear phished, but what policies can be implemented across an organization to prevent it. Even the most trusted security teams aren't going to be allowed to summarily fire everyone who fails the test.

I also think this is a much stricter standard than you're recognizing. In my company's last spearphishing test, they sent out a link purporting to be a company survey immediately after an all-hands meeting announcing there'd be a survey (the real survey link came a few hours later). Expecting that nobody will be distracted enough to fall for such a thing seems unrealistic no matter how well you train them.
> Last I checked, you could not run anything other than what was “approved” by Apple because they GLUED an ssd to a motherboard.

This isn’t really accurate at all.
The EU doesn’t provide any standards at all relating to information security. It only specifies that security controls must be ‘appropriate’, but no definition or precedent for what that means. Customer service and community moderation staff accessing customer data, or having administrative control over their accounts would certainly not be a violation of EU law.
People just put different meaning into "support". There are some who honestly believe you can support something through apathy and there are some who, just as honestly, believe that support is an action and hence cannot happen through inaction.

Interestingly, both meanings are in the dictionary[1] and the argument that there is just one is either coming from ignorance or bad faith. The GP's "being apolitical just means you support the status quo" definitely looks like a troll. It uses "support" as "endure" (an unusual meaning in such a context) but implies "support" as "promote".

No, those national lab supercomputers typically quote double-precision flops, whereas this appears to be about float16 tensor ops for inner product (they call it "AI flops").

The A100 is 9.7 general purpose Tflops of float64, versus 624 Tflops of float16 / bfloat16 (perhaps also just tensor cores not general purpose)?

So quoting it the same way, this Florida machine would only be a (700 * (9.7 / 624)) = 10.9 Pflop supercomputer, not counting host CPUs.

Granted though, the hot new HPC approach is to approximate certain expensive high-precision calculations with ML inference instead, but that only works for certain algorithms.
He said that he went on a trip TO North Carolina. His LinkedIn shows he worked for Cisco in RTP, NC. He then worked for Nutanix and Lyft in Seattle. So more likely it’s one of those two.
True, however, one can also just focus on the ideas expressed in the article separate from its author’s affiliation.
Sigh, I wish people wouldn’t say “petaflop” for these.

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/a100/ is the most official reference. If you scroll to the bottom, you’ll see that an A100 part can do ~20 Teraflops (either FP32 or FP64 in little-matrix aka tensor mode). When they say “each A100 can do 5 petaflops”, they mean each DGX which has 8 such cards and thus they mean 600-ish something-ops per card. The generous assumption is that’s FP16 or bfloat16 for sparse ops, and therefore they are “flops”.

The reality is that if someone says “supercomputer” in the general sense, they mean scientific computing and so mean a double-precision LINPACK benchmark. The 1120 A100 parts (8x140) doing 20 “real” teraflops each has an absolute peak of about 22 Petaflops (and older code without tensor mode would be half that on FP64).

tl;dr: ML isn’t scientific computing, and those are different flops, but “10 petaflops” just doesn’t sound as impressive.

I was always slightly perplexed as to how that difference in orientation of colors leads to the out/in effect. I guess it's not so much the left/right but the top/bottom that really achieves this phenomenon, given how most daily light sources come from above (sun, ceiling fixtures, floor lamps) and there are relatively few instances of uplighting (landscaping, ...) around us.
I’ve recently come back to a big Rails project after doing React/TS for a while and I feel exactly the same way. I feel like we’ve learned a lot about what kinds of tools help make programmers productive and help them write correct code since the original Rails heyday and none of those lessons have been absorbed into Rails.

Rails is a reasonable choice if by installing Rails and some gems you’re already 90% of the way to your goal. Every line of code you write after that is another step down the road to unhappiness.

> I can't believe people actually fall for them

There is people with a high level of trust. They will believe almost anything. Sometimes they are in a vulnerable situation, sometimes it comes with age as cognitive function gets worse, other times maybe people with high stress situations looking for a way out of their problems, they exist.

In phishing, the scammer knows that most people will ignore their mails. But, they are trying to get to the vulnerable people, the ones that will bite the bait. "significant numbers" is difficult to evaluate. Maybe it is a very low percentage of the people that is targeted, but when the targeted are in the millions the victims are going to add up.

And, in my experience, this is a psychological trait. A kind of opposite to paranoia. A paranoid person will not believe anyone. A too-trusting person will believe everyone.

Phishing and other scams prey on the vulnerable.

The Graphhopper routing service is great for cycling. It even has different bike profiles, walking and hiking. The bike profile is essentially a touring bike and the algo is tuned to avoid slopes.

As someone mentioned above, some people are protesting peacefully while others are committing crimes and rioting. The concern is that police, and now federal agents, aren't acting in good faith and aren't interested in distinguishing between the two. It's possible to be concerned about abuse of power by law enforcement - which has been rampantly on display these past few weeks - without supporting anarchist attempting to set fire to buildings.

If we could know for sure the police weren't going to abuse their authority, there would have been neither protests nor riots.
Weird, so the Hooli analogy is very strained.

It's not that the author is affiliated with facebook.

The point is that for most startups, you validate your ideas from your kitchen table, fighting to get a handful of visitors to visit your site.

When facebook launches a product at blasts an infinite firehose of users at the product.

So the facebook experience is utterly different to the startup experience and really its kind of absurd to be sitting in facebook advising startups how to do what they do at facebook, they're such disconnected experiences.

Maybe the topic of the article should have been "how to validate a new product coming out of one of the biggest tech companies that ever existed, advice for other product managers from FAANG".

The reality is that groups of people inside AWS have access to your stuff. A given person might only be on the S3 or EC2 team... but each of those teams can ssh to hosts in production, or has other access that could be used to compromise your data.

Amazon does take privacy and security very seriously, but these systems are run by people. Attacks like the recent Twitter attack could work for various AWS services.

Sorry, I didn’t mean my analogy to be a wholesale dismissal of the subpoena or its justification. I meant to address what seemed like circular reasoning in your reply to this thread.

The thread started out with someone arguing that the "protests" are actually "riots". Someone else replied by pointing out "because there's riots and protests", which are not the same thing.

So then you replied with, "The cops are after evidence on arson and gun theft, not protests, as the headline says." – which I took (perhaps mistakenly) as an argument that the media's footage should not be considered as innocuous "protest footage", because the cops believe that it contains evidence of crimes.

But that seems like begging the question? Ignoring the whole "innocent until proven guilty" concept (two suspects have been arrested and charged, but not tried), it seems problematic to argue that the media should handover its riot footage on the basis that the police believe it contains evidence of riotous activity.

Just as it would be problematic to characterize someone's personal email account as being non-innocuous, on the basis of what the police assert they might find if they do a few keyword searches of it.
> Because “riots”, “mobs”, and “chaos” are racially charged words

No, they’re not. What a ridiculous stretch to further broaden and water down what is considered racism.
