That is not C or C++. And you cannot "transcribe" pseudo code like this into a real programming language.
Do you think that solves the problem? What if 4G operators sell your information to data brokers, which then sell that information to Google?
That requires a majority. Of course you should vote, but the question is whether it's realistic, given that as we mentioned most people don't seem to care much.
I assume credit card processors blocking transactions on, say, porn sites.

Or maybe foreign money transfers?
thanks for pointing out the "might be attached to the steps they've taken so far" line -- that is condescending, and I've fixed it to make the point I was actually trying to make (don't be condescending! :))
It sure does look like a cat, but maybe it's actually a runway for alien spacecraft.
I think the most successful model is when large gov agencies (DoD, NIH, etc) fund core, basic research and then intermediaries (Research orgs, Universities, etc) allow that research to be spun off into private companies. Stanford’s approach has been pretty successful.
The Appendix of Dune is what solidified it as one of the best books I've ever read. I remember him going in to detail about how the planet had a type of desert flower that would grow at the bottom of dunes that acted as a catch for the morning dew, concentrating it and preventing it from evaporating away and thereby making pockets of water for the local animals.
You probably don't need a base, but spending money on a good mattress is definitely worth it.

I would recommend getting it locally though, if this is possible for you right now.
Cryptographic Magic in Decentralized Storage
The case of questions on public boards is different, because those also serve as reference for future people with the same question. Places like SO in particular exist not just to help the person asking, but the countless thousands who will find the question through Google search.

In those cases, if you do the "looking at your context, did you mean Y instead of X" substitution, your answer will be still attached to a "how to X" query, and will frustrate a lot of people who may have a legitimate reason for doing X.
Mastodon should implement "events" as they exist in Facebook.

And provide a scraper for FB events which users can run.
How to prepare for the end of third-party cookies (as publisher)
> So which one do I choose? I cannot even explore a server’s users and posts from the community list.

You can, right from the homepage of any instance.

You have "discover users" button, which will show you any local user that wants to be there (by default you're not visible here, you need to opt-in in the settings).

You also have "see what's happening", which will show you latest public posts from an instance.

Using Fosstodon purely as an example: https://fosstodon.org/explore and https://fosstodon.org/public .

> And then I created an account in the wrong server, and then what? Can I migrate my account to another server?

...kinda. You can "archive" your account and redirect your visitors to the new one. You can't migrate who's following you and who you're following.

Also there's nothing stopping you from having an account on multiple instances, but that's mostly unnecessary since you can follow people regardless of what server they happen to be using.
I can't think of many legitimate reasons a company like IV would want 1100 subsidiaries/affiliates/whatever [1]. That's kind of a lot, no?

if I understand correctly the key benefit would be that models could be trained on smaller datasets and therefore reduce the time spent computing the models?

I am not convinced that this time saving is more than the time spent to engineer the combined and synthesised data.
Having a managed database is the sweet spot for productivity/efficiency between maintaining a full time database administrator and having engineers learn how to do it themselves.

How can a serious company using a relational database get by without paying for database expertise in some way or another?
A lot of people likely use a work laptop and have to use Chrome at work - due to internal apps that only work on Chrome.
So this is more like data storage/some sort of extreme compression than anything? Would it be accurate to interpret this as basically saving the trained neural network into 10 images and reading it back to retrain a model? Or, what really does this do/accomplish?
Is this process net faster, or requiring of less memory?
Rewriting legislation would also enable that.

But why not partake in a massive real engineering project? It’s not like the environment cares! It’s just there.

Again, we already have solutions.

What happened to tech people’s DRY and KISS, don’t be clever, mantras?

Legislative capture is the engineering problem. Forcing Machiavellian machinery on society seems to be the only answer our dimwitted hierarchy can ever come up with.

It’s Jesus! Obviously it’s capital trade! Obviously it’s statistical!

Never, obviously it’s just people and I’m merely one of them.

How much longer is the aristocracy (including this scene since it’s wealthier than most and leverages that to export its expectations on others) expecting billions facing environmental collapse to nod and smile for a bunch of “godheaded” normies?

You all are LARPing nonsense in a very subtle way. Contorted language and made up objects conjured by clearly senile, puerile, selfish, ignorant leaders.

Controlling governments directly is the only real solution to any problem you bring up due to the never ending issue of legislative capture.

For a forum of supposedly bright, clever minds, repetitively iterating on the edge of what societies leaders “allow” seems self defeating and lazy.

If the result of all this work for a mercantile scoreboard exacerbates a real problem, technical engineering is a non-solution.

You all are risking your future by putting the next generation in a even more precarious position.

Ageism & guilt by association to our contemporary economic agency is going to bite the grown ups of today in their twilight years.

Look how indifferent we are about cohorts that statistically fall off our radar.

What the hell are they going to care about a bunch of gerontocrats who make up a smaller percent of the population than the 20-30yos and their young?

Obviously the environmental concerns for them are not there in you, tacitly supporting this.

And I am doing my part to make this happen by explaining this to kids, my own and others; when we’re old, shovel us into the bay. We’ll have earned for being the first form of society to leave behind such a mess.

How would you implement it then?

Note that the DNS queries are only done when 1) there's no host in the local cache and 2) no trusted peer has resolved it either.

I mean, DNS is how the internet works. Can't do much about it except caching and delegation to avoid traceable specificity.

Pretty much anything else isn't much more secure. Note also that DNS will respect the TOR proxy settings, like everything else regarding networking.

It may mean we might finally have a method for reliably updating big neural networks instead of having to do continuous on the fly retraining. (Imagine future neural networks on your smart car having "upgrade packs" or country specific data that can be used to fine tune the main network in a matter of minutes) A high-level form of patch-and-diff for networks. There is probably a ML Ops startup opportunity somewhere in this.
mostly it seems that it tells you something sort of weird about how neural networks train. it’s not obvious that this should work, and that it can be made to work is interesting.
Also explains the lack of references to (currently) obvious alternatives like JSON or YAML.

1. Apple Watch Series 5 w/GPS:

- Surprisingly, my iPhone Xs battery lasts longer because I'm checking it less.

- Counter-intuitively, I'm spending less time on my phone because I'm less likely to get sucked into my Watch than my phone. Now I just read non-urgent messages and Dismiss them.

- I use the compass all the time now that I'm travelling[^1] in the UK and I use the compass all the time to learn the city layout. Apple Maps is still crappy on the Watch compared to Google Maps on iPhone, but because my Watch vibrates before every important turn, I have less navigation anxiety.

- I feel safer walking in the city because I don't have to hold my phone in my hand.

2. Macbook Pro 16":

It was f*cking expensive, but:

- Rust compile times have come down 10x compared to my mid-2015 MBP15.

- Screen is 200% better.

- Sound is 500% better.

- Keyboard is 200% better.

- Track Pad is way better.

...hate the Touch Bar, though :).

Ask HN: Could software ever create an animated movie by just 'reading' a story?
As games engines seem to be growing ever closer to one day being able to synthesize and deploy simulated human characters capable of delivering on-screen performances that are totally visually indistinguishable from so called ‘live action’ drama, the possibility alluded to above raises questions about the future of content creation. So, how close are we to the prospect of ‘a book turning itself into a live action movie?’

May i infer from your question that you have not experienced the fediverse (nor software like Mastodon) yet? If not, may i invite you to kindly give it a try. Beyond the users of one's network and the local timeline, there is also what is known as the "whole known network". At some points, it is quite broad and doses not address the perceived shortcoming that you asked/commented on. At other times - because of how the different instaces and their relevant users are connected - it may in effect operate in a fashion that you noted. No offense to you, but normally, i would not go out of my way to invite folks to the fediverse...but it sounds like your question is legitimate so i really wish to invite you so that you can learn for yourself how deep the rabbit hole can go. Please visit https://fediverse.party/en/fediverse

Enjoy!
"carefully engineered their soft labels" is the same thing as training the network. Just because you encode information outside of the weights doesn't mean you're not encoding information from training data.

It's like saying here's the ideal partitioning scheme, memorize this.
FramaSoft is building exactly that (minus the scraping): https://joinmobilizon.org/en/

Supports federation, so you should be able to RSVP using Mastodon or any other compatible software.
As an American, our typical freeway speed limit is 70mph. I’m not familiar with the speed limits where this car is designed to be sold/used, are you saying this car is too slow to drive on the freeway? What’s the average speeds for the freeways over there?
I remember watching some sort of British documentary on Alan Turing on youtube when I was in high school. It had interviews from all of the people that knew him during his lifetime. This was long before his story was popularized by "The Imitation Game" and so I can't find it now that there is so much other content.

Does anybody else remember it? It was one of the good ones. From what I remember, the "asshole genius" trope was greatly played up for the film and he was much more human than that even with the treatment he endured.
So, this[0] is the doc page for the `GlobWalker` type. One of the traits it implements, and the only one relevant here, is the `Iterator` trait from the standard library[1]. That's how you'd know that the `filter_map` function is appropriate.

The implementation there also tells you that the `Item` type of the iterator is a `Result<DirEntry, WalkError>`, presumably because any of the file system reads can fail. The `WalkError` type is from the globwalk library.

Going back to `filter_map`[2] that function takes a function or closure that maps from `Item` to the `Option` enum, and then just discards anything that is the `None` variant of the enum, filtering them out. `Result::ok` is a function on `Result` that converts the `Result` to an `Option`, converting `Err` to a `None`. So this is discarding the errors without reporting them.

As someone who is familiar with Rust, this wasn't particularly hard to follow, but that comes down to familiarity with these adaptor functions and how they can be plugged into each other.

"what is an MVP even", the post!
Thanks I got the gist. Doesn't look too bad IMO.
I agree. In which case I think the question as posed in a sibling thread is central: How do CBDCs differ from the current digital settlement system already available at several central banks? The sibling thread mentions the Bank of England and the Danish central bank has a similar digital settlement system. Is it “just” a fancy term for a technical upgrade or is there a substantive difference in function?
As Mastadon increases in popularity, how do they plan to make the choice of server easier? If 5000 remains a rough optimal size, how will then how will the next 10M users choose from 2000 servers?
I would agree with this - while Stockdale does say he never used the words stoicism or shared those specific ideas - he was the highest ranking officer and in charge of how the men operated.

In the situation that they were in, if you had someone that was holding up fine and doing what you thought should be done - there is no reason to tell them the stoic terminology for what they are doing.

If you are trying to share knowledge and best practices throughout the camp, you don't need to explain how the ideas came from someone dead for thousands of years.

But saying that Stockdale is turning in his grave because we associated him with Epictetus I think is actually the opposite of what is true.

Looking at the CNN front page for a good source of examples, non-political news would be things like:

* Evacuations ordered in Colorado and Utah as crews battle new blazes

* NFL reports no new positive Covid-19 tests

* Preorders are open for the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro

When people discuss political news, they're referring to stories like "Biden is putting red states in play" or "Mexican restaurant takes political stand with sign declaring 'No Love, No Tacos'" - stories which are fundamentally about partisans doing battle with each other.
I don't think we're going to find common understanding on this but I appreciate you taking the time to at least think about the actual consequences. I happen to disagree with your assessments.

> The needless extra liability either breaks the business model

We can agree, I hope, that if I had a shared image host then I should at least pay the cost to ensure no child pornography, snuff or whatever other common horrible images we can agree on are removed. I hope we can both agree that such expense might be impossible for some business models but that such expense isn't needless. We can probably also agree that Section 230 likely won't protect me from 3 letter government agencies insisting I remove classified content, even if my own morals would allow such content.

So yes, I'm asking for /extra/ liability but we can disagree on what is or is not needless.

> You're also far too focused on sites you seem to dislike

It may seem that way since I am arguing that Section 230 may be the seed from which they grew. I'm arguing that allowing single entities to re-publish volumes of content beyond their means to moderate may be bad at it's core. Perhaps we should limit everyones ability to post unlimited and unmoderated content. That includes me. So I can't just put a blank billboard in front of my house, allow anyone to write any slanderous thing on it and then shrug and say "Section 230" when the neighbors complain.

On the topic of Stack Overflow, I wonder if they have taken down clearly false and libelous claims. Same with Wikipedia. I doubt either have a clean record either way.

> But I do know there's some YouTube channels I really enjoy that wouldn't exist without YouTube as a platform.

I want to take the time to descend into my own hyperbole just for rhetorical effect. Lots of the world was made better in small ways by tremendously horrific practices. I love Youtube and I watch it every single day. Careers have been born on it and a small number of millionaires. Does that mean that a single company controlling something like 90% of the personally created videos on the Internet is a good thing? For every Youtuber you like, how many of sufficient value have been buried by Youtube's algorithm?

Have you ever read the "Wikipedia has cancer" post [1]? When you really look deeply at what we think we are protecting ... are you sure it is what you think it is?

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills as the nerds of the world seem to be cheering on the bullies as they steal, repackage and profit off of the user generated content of others. And when someone suggests that as a price they should at least be held responsible for the worst of the content they republish then everyone acts shocked, like how can these billionaires possibly manage all that.

What I'm saying is: if they can't manage it then they should stop. And if you can't figure out how to do it then you shouldn't even start.

I think this has a lot to do with the platforms vs. publishers issue, and the Section 230 dustup we're about to see.

IMO any platform whose owners have enough editorial control for these engagment-hacking techniques to be useful (the ability to decide what gets seen, what doesn't, and who sees what) should be treated as a publisher, not a platform.

This doesn't have to kill online communities generally. As long as we can distinguish between editorial control and freedom of association (i.e. the ability to ban rule-breakers and people we don't like) I don't see why effective moderation wouldn't be possible.
I'm sorry I'm in my fourties, still functioning and while in Italy, France and Spain the virus was causing havoc, Downing street was still taking time to prepare an "adequate response" trying to "find a balance to not take Draconian measures"

Yes, it was

I'm not ignoring anything BTW, I stayed home 94 consecutive days in Italy, so please don't try to teach me what it looks like to take responsibility for the sake of your community.
IMO one of the best things about Stackoverflow is that it helps all the other thousands of people who thought they needed to do X but really needed to do Y. Having the answer for "how to do Y" under the correct label would be useless to these people because they'd never know they needed to do Y.

If you really do need to do X, then explain why clearly in your question and you'll likely get an answer for it. And of course SO allows multiple answers, so we can have both the technically correct and the not technically correct but still useful answers.

It is a scientific institute. So it isn't an organic farm either. So I am not sure if this argument applies in any direction.

It I am totally aware of studies like Verena Seufert et al. showing reduced yields between 5 to 39% depending on the context and used methodologies.

Edit: Regarding rest years. At least were I live both, organic or non organic farmers do that. Not sure how it is in other parts of the world.
