I've come to think of it as the Instagram Effect.

If you use Instagram as your indicator of what other people are doing in almost any domain, there's a good chance you'll end up with an incredibly skewed sense of how to go about life in general. You'll feel like you need to spend hours in the kitchen preparing elaborate food that's optimized for looking good in photographs rather than tasting good. Your kids' memories of the holidays will be dominated by all the time you spent trying to assemble overly fiddly and elaborate homemade decorations and whatnot, rather than the time you spent letting them get themselves transform perfectly good cookies into horrible dribbly icing covered messes, and have a great time doing it. You'll worry that the only good vacation is an expensive vacation. And so on and so forth.

Which. . . I shouldn't be so negative. Plenty of people enjoy fancy elaborate things, and love to talk about what they're doing and share it with others. And that's great. But it's really easy to look at the Internet and get the impression that what everyone is snapping photos of for Instagram is an accurate cross-section of what people are typically doing, and develop a serious case of FOMO anxiety.
That facade enabled millions to have easy access to that particular kernel feature. BSD jail's have been around for decades without mass adoption.

14 flats were "privately owned" which is code for "right to buy" leaseholds (normally 125 years)

You are correct the renters are not liable for the cost of repair directly. The council pays on their behalf. Through a huge bureaucratic process the council then gets a settlement from the government.

Council Tenants rent the flats/houses with basic furnishings (ie kitchen with cooker and bathroom) all of which can be (but not always) repaired by the council.

Council Residents have a long term leasehold, and only have the right to windows, doors and the walls. Everything else they have to look after.

On all of this type of computation the real bottleneck is memory, size and bandwidth. You have to read and write back the data, you just simply can not perform faster than your memory bandwidth.
ex If you have 2GB model ( 1G float16 ), which does not fit in any cache, and have to perform calculation on all of the data, than for 1 operation on all of the data 4 GB bandwidth is required. M1 17 times/s (if you don't make anything, so its a impossible max) 3090 233 times/s (that also not so practical) so 3090 10x M1 is a lower estimate.

3090 memory 24GB bandwidth 936.2 GB/s

M1 memory 16GB max bandwidth 68GB/s (shared with other parts of the system)
This is because of the wildfires in the PNW, right? I remember hearing about this years ago.
That’s often what’s said, but the reality is different. It’s vastly easier for someone to get in between a future customer and a sale than it is to generate a new customer. Which is why affiliate programs are so frequently canceled without ill effect.

EX: Grubhub chnaginging Yelp phone numbers to get an affiliate commission on people looking up a restaurants phone number.
I wrote a piece of software for my Comp Sci MSc thesis designed to show periodicity where the periodicity has either a recursive structure or larger periods contains smaller periodic structure within. It was largely based on the arc diagram visualisation concept but added some additional features.

The government decided to let the construction companies self-certify (yes, really) the safety of their own work! (To "cut red tape").

k8s is complicated (have you seen the docs on node affinity and taints? come on). i've seen several cases where a group of k8s experts pitched the infra as easy to configure/maintain and 12 months later they're being crushed by the weight of all k8s abstractions.

i don't blame you. k8s is great job security ;) for now.
The issue I take with the concerns raised in the paper regarding:

"A language model that has been trained on such data will pick up these kinds of problematic associations."

"Such data" is basically everyday, normal discourse, and some of the "problematic associations" are training that includes phrases like "woman doctor", "both genders", etc. While I get the point, this itself is a biased interpretation of discourse and would be worrisome imho to have people filtering models with their own biases vs the language as it's used by the vast majority of people.
I was also confused by this. I guess that it might be equivalent to randomly flipping the top bit of the unsigned RGB components. The "absolute value" would always set the top bit to 1.
So at the end, it rephrased a statement from "Neural Tangent Kernel: Convergence and Generalization in Neural Networks" [https://arxiv.org/abs/1806.07572], besides in a way which is kind of miss-leading.

The assertion is known by the community at least since 2018, if not even well before.

I find this article and the buzz around a little awkward.

I can look into it. I work in the Trade and Commercial office of UAE Embassy in DC so I think some helpful information could come from this.
This is illogical to say that you cannot criticize something if you don't offer a solution. Why don't you put in the work to find a solution instead of demanding others do it for you?

Besides, plenty of work has already gone into proposing solutions to monopolies, it's more likely that you just don't like any of them. What must be done now? To me it seems the best thing is for you to come up with a solution you like, since only you know best.
Uh, DNSSEC is only signatures, it has no encryption.
Also was just musing about this since we cut a tree for Christmas yesterday.

I was feeling a but guilty harvesting a tree every year, wondering if fake was the way to go.

Reading the article made me wonder if neither choice was a good one.

It does look like "U-Cut" trees are cutting out the middleman(person) and putting money straight into the farmer's pocket. At $65 that's a much healthier profit margin than the $8-$10 they get selling to wholesalers.

And I suppose if there were made-in-the-USA fake trees that too could stimulate the local (U.S.) economy ... but that doesn't appear to be the case.
Perhaps but production could still peak long before it stops completely. Consider a future where oil is used only for medical necessities.
What bothers me greatly about Excel is something that native English speakers perhaps have never had to deal with.

The "keywords" are language specific/dependent. Everytime I have to google how to do a specific thing in Excel I then have to spend 5 times longer to translate the instructions into my language.

It is a problem because in a locked down corporate environment, a worker/user cannot easily change the language.
Sometimes I've spent hours on a single config line, so having to write 20 of some unknown thing sounds scary. And it's irrelevant for what he is trying to do, which is to run something locally. With docker that's one command, vs having to set up all the other stuff as well.

I've been very fan of using docker for all our dev stuff. To run something locally before it meant having correct version of lots of stuff, and possible having installed some database, configure it correctly etc. Onboarding could be days of configuring this stuff and having something fail. Now it's just download docker, run our ./setup.sh that spins up the various docker images, and one's almost good to go.
If some affiliate is actually doing the work of obtaining the customer to earn the fee, but then the customer has an economic incentive to strip the affiliate attribution to get the fee for themselves, then the affiliate isn’t getting paid. Maybe they’ll recommend another product instead, which doesn’t incentivize users to break the affiliate link.
Container images built with `docker build` will absolutely be usable in Kubernetes. Docker produces OCI-compliant containers.

Surprised to see you here. I really enjoyed your videos and they got me back into Python. Thank you.
I work for Red Hat but I'm a long time fan and user of Docker.

I don't think that's what this means at all honestly. Docker (the company) made some poor decisions that led to their troubles. I'm not here to crap on docker, but they quit investing in and moving their tool forward because they were focused on the EE offering. This opened the door for "competitors" to do the things docker wasn't doing (daemonless, rootless, cgroups v2, just a few). They also did things that scared people, like the whole "moby" rename thing. It made people worried that (fairly or not) Docker the company didn't have the best intentions for the open source version. They had poor direction on product.
They would routinely refuse nice features that people wanted (many that included PRs) for things with terse, unkind "do not want" rejections, and then 6 months later they would end up adding it anyway. Some of these were suspected to be refused so as not to allow open source docker to compete with EE feature sets. docker-compose was the worst at this (To be fair I think it was mostly one very loud/very powerful person wrt docker-compose).

Docker started the race way ahead of everyone. To this day people still use the name "docker" to generically refer to containers.

Anyway, my point is not to crap on docker, just to say that in my opinion, in so many areas important to an open source leader, they made decisions that undermined their long term outlook.
The part of the docs i want to skim to see what it does is nicely on one page: https://yara.readthedocs.io/en/stable/writingrules.html

Maybe buy a used artificial one, or just ask friends and relatives of they're getting rid of one?

For years I used my grandfather's old artificial tree. It's probably seen 30+ years of service and was still functional when we upgraded.

It also serves as the server-side component of Nvidia GameStream, which lets you play games (streamed) from another device on the local network.

Every single thing you buy has the same economics. It's not really a moral thing to worry about. Retailers are not evil for taking a cut, they have a very competitive business as well.

Plus the farms are quite sustainable, there's no risk of overfarming Christmas trees.
Write docs for open source software. You can only improve if you practice. Open source is the perfect medium to practice and improve. It's a win win situation.
And it works pretty well, other than some network bugs every now and then, which seem to be a WSL2 thing. I moved from OSX to Windows around the release of build 2004 and the development experience has been great.
It wouldn't be the first time a population is gripped by a conspiracy theory explaining their woes with fantasy instead of fact. Again, Germany before World War II.

That doesn't make it right or just, and if it happens, the people that history will recognize as the freedom fighters will be ones who take up arms against it.

I don't see it as guaranteed as you seem to, possibly because I'm not watching conspiracy theorists at the level you seem to be. In the real world, while it's illegal to say so because military law prevents denigrating the commander-in-chief, 2/3 of the military hates Trump's guts and will not follow his orders if he tells them to turn guns on citizens nationwide. And were it to happen, the military at the federal level would be fighting the various national guards, because there's no way governors of most states will cede that power.

> It's only a conspiracy theory until proven

Conspiracy theories are never proven, that's what makes them conspiracy theories. They make wrong predictions and then move the goal posts when those predictions don't come to fruition. in this case, it's the same conspiracy that believed there was a pedophilia ring operating out of the basement of a pizza parlor with no basement.

I'll be interested, academically, to see how QAnon moves the goal posts yet again when the Supreme Court refrains from hearing the petitions to throw out Pennsylvania votes.
I think the GP's point is that alternatives can easily spring up when the main feature-set/value is in the kernel rather than the glue code.
Just to throw another anecdote on top of yours, I've never worked in a shop where they weren't grumbled about from time to time - so I personally don't find the parent's claim to be baseless at all.

Many developers struggle with the "language" of regex - and no matter how many times I "learn it", it doesn't change the fact that I have to pull up references every time I'm building out an expression.

Grandparents post re: Excel had me curious actually - because I (personally) find the use of Left, Mid, Right, etc generally far more logical and readable than trying to parse a regex string.

Maybe ambassadors do, but it's not like they can run the show on their own. US embassies are pretty large operations with many different functions. IIRC, the people who think they were targeted by that weren't ambassadors, and at least some were involved in intelligence missions.
"The motive is to make it harder for US personnel to carry out foreign policy objectives in these nations."

If they were soldiers, sure, that makes sense. But I thought the the job of diplomats is essentially to be a messenger between governments. "Carry out foreign policy objectives" means to relay accurately the stance and desires of the home government. Hurting a diplomat in no wise hurts the home government, it just makes communication more difficult.
Depends on the use-case. Bitcoin's current zeitgeist is digital gold/store of value and from that point of view deflation is a strength that complements inflationary currencies.
The thing to point out here is that you must pay three things:

1) a one off fee for the actual lease, for a 125(typically but it can be 999 years for private leaseholds, and <10 for commerical property) year term. This is normally 10-70% of the going rate for a similar freehold property.

2) each year for the "ground rent" ie a "pepper corn" or nominal fee to the person who actually owns the building (this is nominally fixed at £1-100, but in some recent scams they are exponential)

3) "reasonable" maintenance. this is normally paid to either the council for a ex council house, or a management company. They may not be the same entity as the freeholder. You cannot be compelled to pay for "improvements" only reasonable upkeep.

Once you have a leasehold, it is tradeable like a freehold.
TIL. Thanks for sharing that!
Really? So if I make a man page for my CLI tool you would assault me physically?

You should take your own description of your beliefs as a red flag to reassess them.

I use a few tools that don’t have man pages and I always find it jarring that I have to leave the CLI to get some basic usage info.

There is already tooling to generate manages and online/html docs from a single source. Reasonable thing seems to be “do both”. I’m not persuaded by “Windows is leaking.”
Don't be so bloody rude, why on earth would I make up something like this?

I sent numerous emails, filled in maybe 6 forms, and multiple times had their understaffed online chat system open for up to 8 hours trying to speak to someone - for all the good it did when they answered.

Here in the UK, at the start, yes, Ryanair asked you to fill in a form, and said they would issue refunds within 14 days. I, like several thousand of others, duely filled in the form - only for Ryanair to change their tune a couple of weeks later. My guess was they'd sought legal advice, and found some loophole they thought would allow them to get away with it.

They went several weeks at a time with no general customer communications, and weren't replying to emails - on the rare occasions they did, it was to say they'd process refunds "later". Some weeks later, they sent out a general customer email, saying they'd only be issuing (short-lived!) credit notes instead of refunds, and anyone who declined would have to apply again, and would then have to wait until the pandemic was over for a refund. This whole (illegal!) debacle was very widely reported in the British media.

Egh, well, I'm a Linux user and software developer, and I've had one job that forced me use a Mac but none that forced me to use Windows.
Exactly, so again, if that's the reason, why build that tunnel at all in the islands with low population rather than in a big city where there are a lot more lives to be saved ?
There are all sorts of things that people broadly agree are offensive that can be or have been produced by ML models. Why not stick to those and discuss mitigation strategies? The paper could be vastly improved and still make it's point in a less divisive way by sticking to things everyone agrees are beyond the pale.

And that's not even getting into the whole "global warming is racism" digression. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, but it's definitely not a topic for an AI paper. Just say carbon is bad!

It seems like the goal of the paper is to make a bunch of sociological statements and impute the authority of "AI Ethics Lead Researcher" to them -- they're just political opinions, everyone has those.
> manager who got the blockchain crap implemented got a nice job at a huge company out of it, so it wasn't a complete failure

Not for the manager's personal career, no. But probably a failure for both the original company needing to maintain unnecessary complexity and the new company hiring a manager who prefer resume/fad driven development.
I do wonder how the expert in the article came up with the assertion that fake was now environmentally friendly than real. Surely shipping a pile of plastic from China is worse for the environment than growing a real tree for 10 years.

Even if the plastic lasts for a decade, and the alternative is to buy 10 real trees over that same time period, I'd have thought the natural option would be better for the planet.
Not necessarily, I am yet to bother using it, and know plenty of environments where Docker still is a foreign word.

Containers should be about security not cloning local development environment.

For what it's worth, I resolved my Pi4 overheating issue by expanding the surface area of the heat sink with some folded aluminium foil [1].

Not the prettiest solution, but works just fine. The Pi4s on the picture are running at ~100% CPU utilization of all cores for months (using mlucas) now without any overheating events.

The demo reel is really impressive. I wish Kerbal Space Program could leverage something like this
"to avoid repeating it I'd put that inside another cell"

100%! I like to do that in other cases as well, just to keep formulae simple enough that someone else can easily audit the whole spreadsheet.

I'd rather have 5 extra columns in a calculation, then have a huge formula in a single column. This habit is so strong that I often do the same thing with Pandas: adding extra columns to a dataframe for intermediate calculations, when it would be better to write a larger function and .apply() it all at once.
A lot of this sort of functionality which is appearing at the moment from MS was built into a fantastic spreadsheet called ResolverOne which was released back in around 2008 by a company in the UK called Resolver Systems. It was based on IronPython and allowed an entire spreadsheet to be exported as a Python package.

The company never seemed to gain traction, and unfortunately the open-source tool released which was based on ResolverOne had none of the power or elegance of the original.

I'd be interested to know if MS had consulted Giles Thomas from R.S. prior to this - it's certainly giving me a bit of deja vu.

Why do you believe that history takes sides?
Instead of downvotes, I'd appreciate being suggested alternative papers that same year that made more progress towards training data privacy in ML algorithms than the one mentioned in the article, and which should have won the prize instead.

Otherwise, it seems my assessment would hold. A ranking is relative, so doesn't tell you much of absolute progress towards the goal.
