I think this sort of work is important because it gives us data to focus on improving. Like solar power efficiencies, I think there is lots of room to improve on vertical farming output which will be vital for a few reasons.

Reason one, is that I think one lesson we've learned and are still learning is that the original model of the internet that senses damage and routes around it is still a strong model, and I think the same applies to food. To reduce the impact of food shortages, we need to get more people farming again essentially, and a small vertical farm can be had for those people regardless of if they have land or suitable land for traditional growing, and the cost are likely to be similar to solar panels and be one that is subsidized at first or at least given tax breaks.

Reason two is that I think the same work will be of vital importance for future space faring missions. If we can get closed loop ecosystem sustainability heavily improved we might be ready for something like a real Mars trip/settlement etc. Personally I advocate for adding other systems to the closed loop to feed off each other, aka auqoponics, etc to add a meat source (fish) into the loop etc.

So we have a decent study on wheat. Now lets get the yield potentials for everything else under the sun so we can start optimizing better. Probably end up with focus on whatever has the highest calorie output to price to produce ratio.
You’d need to think of them less, but disasters that destroy the building or disrupt operations (fires, earthquakes, floods, etc.) still happen so there’s need to be some redundancy and hedging.
We already pay for law enforcement and the judicial branch. USDS should be handling technology problems (which US government has a ton of), not be political vigilantes on my dime.
It's pretty hard to fine a company that has one of the world's largest legal departments €25m based on a conspiracy theory. And no, that caveat isn't even close to the truth. Apple states that they do it "once the battery begins to degrade", which is so ambiguous that it could even apply to brand new batteries, because all batteries begin to degrade upon their first usage. In my case, I had a 9 month old iPhone 6 that drastically slowed down due to the update. When the apple store told me that it only slowed down phones with aging batteries, I asked them to replace my battery for my phone which was still under warranty. They "tested" it and told me my battery life was perfectly fine. Fuck that...have not and will not ever buy an apple product ever again.
I can also write a fully functioning web application in 1 line of code if I exclude how big each dependency is.
Maybe a bit overstated, but yes. When media outlets orient their offerings toward particular groups, it is in every outlet’s interest to publish ingroup vs. outgroup pieces and exaggerate the conflict. This collective action problem is ignored by the media outlets because it is how they make money.
ffmpeg -i <original> -o out.mp4 also a super easy way to do this too since it'll get re-encoded. I don't know why screen recordings aren't handled this way automatically

Not with the tiny cheap CPUs that are one these devices they couldn't. Or at least not very effective speech recognition.
I don’t know how it works in the UK but there must be some kind of caveat there right? Otherwise it would seem to me that large corporations would pay for expensive lawyers, forcing small people to settle lest they risk having to pay a hefty legal bill.
> Why are we against book burning but cheering moves like this?

Because this is not analogous to book burning?

Freedom of speech is not (indeed, is opposed to) entitlement to others active participation in your speech. Freedom of speech means you need to convince others of the merits of your speech if you want them to help you spread it.

If you just want to read/write sectors of 512 bytes at a time, it's pretty easy to implement even on a simple MCU.

There's a couple of registers which need to be set:

and you can then just read/write the data from the parallel lines.

Here's a similar project using an ATmega32:

It could work the other way too? Where the small company loses they must now pay the fees of the larger company. Nobody can afford to defend themselves against the large company because they might have to pay the large companies fees

Is there really a plausible world in which Apple, the world's most valuable company and one of it's most recognizable brands, might be determined by a court to have neglected to affirmatively defend its ubiquitous trademarks merely by failing to persecute a tiny company with a significantly different but also fruit-themed brand?

This seems either unlikely or questionably competent. Gordievsky was well known to the KGB and loitering pointlessly outside a bakery would only have aroused suspicions - which would have been confirmed by the second agent, because anyone carrying a Harrods bag in Soviet Moscow would have stood out like a very obvious person of interest.

Cooking a wet towel would turn the water to steam, I'm guessing that would be problematic for the mask's durability.

Also, the humidity factor seems counter intuitive to me on that site. I thought the virus survived longer in the air in damp spaces, while sunlight dried out the virus rendering it inert.

The system MI6 used to communicate with Oleg Gordievsky was that, had he decided to escape, he would stand near a bread shop in Moscow carrying a Safeway's bag and an MI6 handler (who had never seen him before keep in mind) would walk past eating either a mars bar or a kit kat.
this is simply false. very few phones have actually 'locked' bootloaders. as in, can't go into settings and uncheck 'locked' checkbox to unlock it.

when they do, you can easily unlock it -usually by simply asking your service provider or the manufacturer. and the ones you can't -yes, you have to hack it with a usb cable and a computer. for like .05% of phones.

and google's phones are not ever locked in any way, being the proper comparison, since you're comparing phones to apple.

what we have here with the op is trump voter logic, so he can feel better about himself by creating a fake reality where he is king. 'mr trump, i'm saying death as %of population, not tested cases.' - 'well, you can't do that.'

no mr apple. you are the one who can't do that.
This is exactly the sort of problem solved by cdk: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/latest/guide/home.html with cdk you generally don't have to mess with IAM constructs, and can just use the provided APIs to setup necessary permissions (and those permissions are always as narrow as possible by default)
I like the English rules, but how does it work in practice? How do things like in house lawyers work? If I sue a big corp and lose, how do I pay for all their in house lawyers and experts? How do they keep me from backing out simply through the threat of running up the tab with a ton of experts and such?

How much of a chilling effect is there on people suing big corps? Is that less necessary because of better consumer protection?
If you have to keep doing that why would you. If I wanted to start a company the smart thing to do would create a company called Orange Computers, steal a modified version of iOS call it iOP and then undercut apple because I didn't have to pay for RnD
DeepR – Training TensorFlow Models for Production
Recently, my fiancée is into Christmas a lot, so I set out to build an advent calendar.

She likes jigsaw so I printed a photo of us from back when we met on a generated multiple-of-24 piece jigsaw pattern to cut.

But that was a bit too simple. She enjoyed playing Human Resource Machine which was the closest she ever got to programming.

So on the back, I printed IOCCC-style Ruby code shaped in the form of a Christmas tree. With the pieces cut out and jumbled, you’d have no idea what the code would look like without solving the front side.

Once solved, when typed and run, it would reveal an URL to a XKCD-style drawing I made for the occasion.

It was tough to make code not too short nor too long, not too complex nor obvious, and able to survive the jigsaw cutting! Anyway, she enjoyed it through and through.

A quick extra en passant, a bash one liner I quickly banged out some years ago: https://github.com/lloeki/toolbelt/blob/master/hearts
No because you don't own the machine. I believe it specifically says "owns" but not sure. I also think the guidelines say that it has to be on a personal network -- which I know makes no sense -- but the language was specifically engineered to allow personal remote desktop apps when the Steam Link app was trying to get unbanned from the store.
The point was that Apple didn't go after the others
I’m a quirky person and wanted to propose to my girlfriend in an unconventional way. I’m also a coder with a long history of making weird websites for good causes. So I turned my proposal into a gamified art piece/website: https://helpmepropose.live

Very much this. I think it's worth fighting against anyone who tries to dismiss these as not actually "pay"walls just because they don't require literal money, although I'd understand if other people want to head off that line of apologism in advance.
Not many successful ones in comparison.

You can work around this by making the renewal price increase exponentially (or geometrically) the more times you renew it.
I don’t exactly understand the authors context, but on a personal level I just block and move on. There’s so much low quality content on twitter, and a bit of good quality as well. Therefore it only makes sense to just excise cancers like this instead of letting them fast track a blood pressure prescription.
I once coded my smart speaker so you could ask it who the most beautiful woman is and it would answer with the name of my then girlfriend, now wife.

sarcasm off - just no.
I think what the commenter is suggesting is that there’s an asymmetric cost for the parties involved. In this case, the legal costs for Apple is negligible. There’s a whole legal department whose sole job is to find and engage in cases like this. For the pear company, the cost to defend necessarily means the owners (likely) have to stop what they’re doing to work on a defence case. Apple can keep chugging along while Pear Co likely needs to drop everything and focus on this.
For some history, Acorn Computers (among other things) designed the Acorn RISC Machine processor or ARM for use in their personal computers. This is the forerunner of the ARM processor used in almost every phone today.
It increasingly seems to be only valve who understand that piracy occurs because of friction rather than price (for media like games and TV at least).

> it would be trivial

I really disagree that it is trivial to copy a successful company. Possible, yes. VC funding doesn’t automatically make it simple and easy to create an effective competitor.
My post didn't blame them entirely. They have funds they need to get out of China so they buy property abroad. Having a child who is studying abroad is one of those ways. There's little intention to actually live there, let alone integrate with the community.

The big question is how those funds were obtained. How can locals compete with buyers who can essentially print money? Funny money. Chinese banks are unauditable.
Tim Cook's Apple, same as the old.
I feel like this is the real base problem here.

There's an incredibly broad set of permissions (at the cloud or OS level). Any app / tool may be written to use any subset of those. And what it uses is rarely documented (because developers don't see IAM security as a primary feature, outside of apps intended for use in regulated environments).

Without automation, this thus requires continual reverse engineering, which is never a healthy, sane long-term solution.

This should be fixed on the product / app side, where folks are much better placed to dump "I need this, and only this" in machine-readable form.
It makes a lot of sense. Why would you code something that complex to simulate stuff that game engines are already capable of?
Initially I thought: wow, finally I can play with GPT-3 without going through the closed beta application process. But the tool requires an OpenAI API key. The linked website doesn't specify that with a single word. It's only mentioned on Github.

I've been there myself tbh. When you have worked a lot on something, it's often hard to take a step back and specify all of the basic things that people first exposed to your invention don't know about.
I don’t know how the Dutch handle it, but it’s likely similar to germany: The lawyer and court fees are set by the “value” of the lawsuit (Streitwert) which in this case would be the alleged damages. The court can set that value. There’s tables to derive the fees. Now, each party can voluntarily choose to pay more to their legal team, but the fee that the loosing party needs to pay is limited to the court mandated fees.
That's interesting. Are there any books in particular you can recommend?

All plant milks taste like dirty sugar water to me. I've tried Oatly and found it slightly less sweet than others, but still not particularly good. Nothing about it is milk-like to me. It was as watery as all the others, I don't understand how the grandparent can find it "syrupy and thick".

Yeah that's pretty insane pricing. They're effectively making the guy $300k and it's pretty doubtful he could go to anyone else to get it done.

On the other hand I would hope the deal was that he would pay up front and assume all of the risk of it not working, in which case maybe it is not such a bad deal for them.

The peddlers of misinformation seem to have an uncanny ability to be presented with evidence that they’re misinformed and use it as an opportunity to double down and repeat their misinformation. I don’t know the right answer but I’m skeptical there’s an upside to engaging with them.
I did the same a long time ago. No key yet, but waiting patiently and in excitement.
They absolutely do. And they might release very good information along with a carefully planted piece of terrible advice. So you might see a tutorial about how to send drugs through the mail that is 99% good advice, and one piece of intentionally bad advice that police officers are currently watching extra carefully. You don't have to get very high up in government to see examples of people planting false information to lead people astray about how things really work.
You could also just steal OpenAI's cluster in a midnight heist, that might be easier.
Like I said, if you are the original creator you have advantage the copier doesn't have.

Either way you have to adapt or left behind.
The runtime isn't designed for fast numerical computations, but rather I/O, concurrency, and robustness. You can however get the best of both worlds by orchestrating the fast numerical computations (C++/Rust/C) with Ports and NIFs.
"So now we have to ask ourselves: What’re the odds that we’ve learned our lesson and this will never happen again?

Evil people are allowed to have communities. In an evil community, it's probably the "good" user who is usually a troll, so it makes sense for them to be unwelcome.

Curtailing is not a good idea.

Clearly marking it, might be. Much like you can buy all manner of food supplement, but they don't pretend to be drugs, because they are marked with "efficacy is not clinically proven". (Even if "objectively" some of them are efficacious.)

But this ends up with an unsexy task of picking a conspiracy theory to pieces and marking unconfirmed pieces as such, logic contradictions as such, etc. I'm very grateful to people who take take the time to do that. But definitely there are fewer such people than conspiracy theory outlets.

It might be great to have a central repository of such analyses and refutations, crowd-supplied and peer-reviewed, like Wikipedia. The Lesswrong site could be part of it, but it has its own ...biases. TVTropes can be surprisingly useful for learning about and detecting common narrative devices used to drive the narrative and fiction, as opposed to trying to describe reality. But a level-headed, balanced site with systematic analysis of conspiracy theories either does not exist, not not publicized nearly enough.
Yes, soil, temperature, and weather control are huge, as is the lack of need for pesticides. Hard to over-state how much controlled environments can improve yields and crop quality and reduce costs of maintenance (in return for large initial capital investment).
1. I/O isn't that bad, 40-100 GPIOs out, pretty much on par with most Artix-7 boards out there, SFP and PCIe is a plus cause Artix chips have no/slow transceivers and simply can't use them, and well everything aside from tutorials aren't beginner thing on FPGAs

2. License is pain though, you can get a proper demo license for Kintex probably

3. Compile times for barebones projects are few times more for a larger FPGAs, but as you add IPs and stuff they take a few minutes on a fastest computer anyway

Honestly are you really surprised? It's been going on for almost 40 years. Any exec saying they're surprised by this is disingenous at best, and lying at worst. If an exec sees a 40 year long pattern and decides to continue working with China, they're either incompetent or deciding that the potential profits are worth it.
