> As I mentioned in another comment, banks will have to do a better job at convincing me to open a deposit. Hopefully this will increase competition between banks and make them more transparent.

Not sure it makes sense, can they really compete against a "narrow banking" style bank? Why wouldn't narrow bank compete a better UI/services (and not offer any loans)?

https://www.econlib.org/why-does-the-fed-oppose-narrow-banki... explores a bit that part and the arguments against it.
I just bought an LG-OLED TV. After the first power up, I just accepted the first EULA and ignore the other 2 buttons.

Monitored via WireShark/SquidProxyTLS and have found no malicious or data-revealing data save for occasional upgrade.

Out of curiosity, I accepted the two other button after manufacturer reset and blacklisted/PiHole’d the extra TCP/IP/DNS sessions.

Resetted it back to just EULA but with full firewall block via its local IP of its WebTV OS.

Only errant packets are for searching for a local media server (via multicast DLNA).
To echo the other comment, please use restic or borg instead of this. For being a "simple" tool, it appears more complicated and with more questionably useful features than restic or borg. Borg and restic have server components that allow clients to send backups, I believe restic also allows the clients to manage encryption/not trust the server.
it's not that they don't think there should be economic booms, just that when they are artificially amplified by newly printed money, they tend to disproportionally benefit those who receive the new money first. And inevitably, those artificial booms are followed by artificially large contractions, which harm those at the bottom of the socioeconomic ladder the most.
In my opinion Starcraft 2 killed RTSes (just like Dota 2 and LOL killed MOBAs).

With multiplayer games people can play the same title forever if it's deep enough. So new games in the same genre have to compete against a game that was made by Blizzard in 2010 and constantly developed ever since.

So what happens is - people check out the new game, and either get bored (it's too similar and worse) or get discouraged (it's too different to bother learning).

The only remaining market for RTS are so called "casuals" that want single player experience. But they don't engage with the game enough to justify years of gameplay development, balancing, innovative mechanics - they mostly want nice cutscenes and good graphics and beliveable dialogs and plot.

And most of them won't even finish the game. They will play for a week and move on. Single player games that don't achieve cult status - are finished on the market after the first month.

So for a new RTS to compete it has to be better than Starcraft 2 in multiplayer and gameplay or at least in storytelling. And that's a VERY hard thing to do for an indie studio. Risk is huge and required investment is enormous.

I've had high hopes for Iron Harvest and it clearly went for the casual/single player market and did pretty well, but not well enough.
Your comment and this article brings me great joy. I do the same, I walk in circles even in tiny spaces. I like to put notebook and a pen on a table and sketch my thought process.

At home, this earned me the nickname "satellite". I felt uncomfortably self aware when I just moved in with my partner. Fortunately she finds it soothing.

There's another Saturn V you can walk the length of in Huntsville, AL. It made quite an impression on me -- on first sight from below it's like that opening scene in Star Wars IV when the Star Destroyer hoves into view.
I think the distinction between rule of law and regulation is fuzzy. Different people will draw the line in different places, with a heavy bias towards the current system for any given jurisdiction. (Devil you know.)
The type signature of the leak function is

pub fn leak<'a>(b: Box<T>) -> &'a mut T
where
T: 'a,

If T is owned, or only contains ‘static references itself, then ‘a must also be ‘static. Does that help at all?
It uses standard "tar" and "find" commands on the client. If you have something like a database, then you should exclude the dbf files and uses the database's tools to put the DB in hot backup mode (using a snebu-client plugin script -- there is a template script in the manpage for snebu-client-plugin(5).

You can also create a plugin script that performs a disk snapshot (using LVM snapshot or similar), then mount and backup from that.

Targeted ads are harder to tune out. I'd rather spend minimal effort on discarding those parts of the screen.

I think the greater harm done is in the information collected for it to be called personalised. Once it's accurately personalised and you're willing to consider buying something, then ads could be more justifiable. That's the path of excessive consumption.

The thing is, making RTS games that are crazy APM clickathons is something that the studio chose to do. There's no rule that you need to make a strategy game that focuses so much on fast clicking - games like Wargame series, original Company of Heroes, Dawn of War and even Age of Empires II have significantly less of a "mad clicking" requirement and focus more on economic and strategy aspects of the game.

It's kinda ironic that "strategy" genre has ended up bogged down in small unit tactics, with units too stupid to actually use correct weapons by themselves. No wonder we all lost interest into the genre.
I was in a discord with someone that had direct access to GPT-3. We played Jeopardy with it, where we would take a wikipedia article about a person and use a snippet of the first paragraph as the prompt and ask GPT-3 who it was.

It was very good at guessing the right person.

I'm curious if one can use GPT-3 to do some clustering of people based on their writing. For example, if I take the writing of several diagnosed sociopaths as a prompt or fine tuning data, could I use GPT-3 to detect same in the wild?

I would imagine GPT-5 or 6 will start consuming video as well. This will be interesting if you start mixing the content from YouTube, TikTok, WSHH, etc. into the mix. So not only will it be able to generate text, it will generate a convincing video of a person speaking to you with plausible facial expressions and intonation in speech.
Great. Now leave them alone.
Agreed, this was the first proxy that came to mind.

This is probably quite good for VC funded companies, as there is some transparency in this. But, apart from the arbitrary 1bn cutoff, what is a startup? What about more established, but still innovative companies? What about ones that are not VC funded?
It's interesting you say that. I don't know if it's still the case, but Hearthstone used to have a decent amount of random effects (other than just basic card draw RNG). A big complaint at the time was that the randomness felt really awful if you were on the receiving end of an opponent's good luck.

Sometimes it felt like a chess match where you had executed your strategy perfectly, but randomly three of your opponents pawns turned into queens.

I get that you're talking about something more subtle than that (and maybe more akin to just, well, card draw RNG) but it's a delicate balance because it can also feel really bad for players being on the receiving end of randomness.
This way of managing notes is very interesting. How is it possible to do this using email?

Would regulation with transparency be the best of both? Because it seems tax law changes so often and violating it so trivial I doubt it'd be better.

IMO those in charge should be forced to drink/breath from whichever area tested most polluted on a regular basis, and as a public event. Once they can no longer hide or pass on the consequences they should take the problems more seriously.
I can't agree on comparison with 90s by DPI.

What matters for perception is angular resolution, not DPI. And 27" display covers more visual field that 17" from 90s, so you can and should sit further away from it. Once angle of perceived pixel is smaller than angular resolution of your eye, reducing pixel size only adds to the resolutions of shades you can show to the user in that area (closer to bpp increase, than dpi increase, because you can't see pixels anymore, but still can perceive irregularities of brightness on edges).
> What's the alternative to docker? And by that, I mean a solution that a team can reasonably use across Linux, Windows, and Mac.

Virtual Machines. VirtualBox in combination with vagrant works reasonably well cross-platform.
So in terms of copyright, is GPT-2 a derived work of that recipe? Or generally are models derived works of their training data?

It seems lots of people use training data from Flickr, like COCO, and then use the resulting model for commercial services.

A follow up question to this. What do people feel about relocating to the EU.

Both this question and the question that OP is asking have been on my mind a lot lately. But I don't really have much choice in the matter, because of my situation. I was living in the US for 7 years but I had to leave because I did not get the H1B visa. I could have gone to Canada, but right now they are apparently taking upwards of 9 months to process work permits so I got turned down by a lot of FAANG companies. I ended up deciding to move to Europe.

This decision has been really hard on me for a number of reasons. Other than the fact that all my friends are there and so are all my professional connections, being a first language English speaker, I think that I would also feel more at home in the US or Canada. Then there is the matter on compensation and opportunity. El the only things I've heard about jobs in the EU is that there are few opportunities and the pay is less. I feel like I've been forced to take a step backwards in my career.
Did not know about --relocatable, thanks for the tip!

> But in that case black is not a great example. You probably want to have a specific version bound to the project so everyone uses it (including the ci platform).

That's what I do in my open source work, the CI will run the formatter and commit the result back in tree so it forces everyone on one version. At work this is handled by the developer tools' team.

> Uninstalling the old version breaks the formatter. Installing a new one does not. Either way, with asdf, pyenv, and others you can keep all relevant version around.

Yes but at some point you are basically making ad-hoc containers right? So why not use the generic one?
Not to be pedantic but central banks can and do become insolvent! E.g. developing nations with dollar denominated debts. Central bankers will tell you they can’t go bankrupt but of course they have to say this as the whole system is based upon confidence and trust.

Indeed, there have been certain periods of time where privately issued money / bank deposits were “safer” than central bank or government issued currency. Also keep in mind that bank deposits are not a promise to pay base money as people mistakenly believe. It’s just that commercial banks are a market maker between their money and the government/base money and it just so happens that the exchange rate is 1:1 unless the solvency of the bank, central bank or government is brought into question.
Commercial banks also don’t “invest money”. Instead, they are in the business of swapping IOUs. When you get a loan, you swap your IOU (a debt from you to the bank - the bank’s asset) for the bank’s IOU (debt from the bank to you - bank’s liability). You do this because the bank IOU is readily accepted by everyone and yours isn’t. If you just have a deposit, you get it by swapping the IOU from another bank or an IOU from the government (notes and coins) for an IOU with the bank you hold a deposit with. Note that the deposit is not your money either.

Guess it's because it was likely trained on Wikipedia data. After all, GPT-3 is no stranger to borrowing phraseology from verbose texts in the internet.
Having read every Discworld novel and without looking it up, that sounds right. As I recall Mistress Weatherwax had been seeing alternate timelines as part of a side effect of the Elve's world intersecting the reality of the Disc, and she's married to Ridcully in some of them, as they apparently were involved in their youth. She does later note to Ridcully that, from what she saw, their alternate selves that had married appeared happy.

In my personal opinion it is one of the worst Discworld books, which still makes it pretty good mind you.
Central banks don't have to do lending to take deposits. If they need somewhere to lend to, the government is a great debtor of last resort.
I don't think you can speak for everyone when you claim not to care about literally millions of dollars in lost opportunity by not living in a country that doesn't shaft you.

It's millions. The delta between the average US salary and the average EU salary is gigantic, and if invested in a conservative investment portfolio consisting of index funds means by choosing to live in the EU you're willingly giving up many millions of dollars by time you're in retirement.

When I'm retired, I don't want to be broke and penniless and I certainly wouldn't be thinking that the free healthcare I received was worth the amount I was scammed.

On what planet is healthcare worth many millions of dollars? It's not worth it. You're better off by any calculation in the US. Substantially so.

51k when you're doing the same stuff that someone in the US is making 175k for? You're being robbed in broad daylight.

To put it another way, consider that a senior level developer in Sweden makes substantially less than a fresh grad in the US.

Yeah. I was pretty disappointed when CoH2 wanted to get on eSport bandwagon and shoveled in a lot of micro heavy features. Suddenly every unit had bunch of manually triggered abilities you had to babysit (because apparently WW2 soldiers are too dumb to throw a grenade on a tank by themselves).

As such, it got significantly less fun for me with the exception of Ardennes Assault campaign.
I believe there was a period of about a year where it wasn't possible to run Docker on Fedora 31 or higher because the former did not support the cgroups v2 interface.
> When Peter put his contact information online, it had an intended context of use. Unfortunately, applications built on top of GPT-2 are unaware of this context, and might thus unintentionally share Peter’s data in ways he did not intend.

That's expected when you publish anything online, you lose control over the data.

i’ve been in meetings with lawyers where this issue was discussed. As of 2018 the answer was “not enough case law to know, hold tight it’s going to be weird one day!”
For me it helps with organizing an approach or schedule, but for bigger issues I use THC and a long walk outdoors. This lets me get outside myself and visualize the problem from new angles and big and small scale.
Fully clamshell. I did find that the thunderbolt cable I used causes/fixes a significant number of issues though. Once I spent a year's rent on the Apple cable (which really does feel more substantial) it's been smooth sailing ever since.

Note that citizens can now pick individually and separately if they want to be Keynesian (USD) or Austrian (BTC/ETH/Gold).

1. This is illustrated by a 50 year old who paid off their $500k house. They sell, keep the cash for 23 months until they move across the country to buy a new house.

2. They could store their $500k in USD w/money printing and be a Keynesian. Money printing dilutes and they can buy less.

3. Another similar couple stores their $500k in BTC or cryptGOLD, as a non-money printing Austrian.

Imagine if each person in society is picking individually if they want to be an Austrian or Keynesian based on the currency they select. Costs of USD money printing will be paid by a smaller and smaller group of people as more and more move off of USD.
The "simpleness" in Snebu comes from using standardized tools such as find and tar, file storage using LZOP, and the backup catalog in a standard SQLite3 DB, allowing manual recovery of files.

However Restic and Borg do have the advantage of writing directly to cloud backups or "dumb" backend data stores such as sftp targets, or API-accessed cloud targets (although Restic doesn't compress and Borg has issues with multiple hosts going to the same repository, they do still have their use cases). Whereas Snebu is more of the use case that would be solved by more complicated to manage tools such as Bacula, Amanda, or commercial backup solutions but with lower setup and administrative requirements.

For a simple tool, use rsnapshot ( https://rsnapshot.org/ ).

Pull system, which rsyncs (over ssh) the data from machones to folders on a server, then, on the next day, creates a hard-link copy of the backup folders, to get a separate "yesterdays" version, and rsyncs over the "todays", to get the new "todays". ...plus some scripts to do a weekly,and monthly versions and to keep the number of backups at a desired number (config).

Only downside is, that it needs root access to rsync whole filesystems, and that you need to manually set the excludes for each machine.

I tried running their exact example queries, since I conveniently have a >100k row PostgreSQL table available of the same name. (> 100k rows) The first (offset) was indeed on the order of 5x slower, but I suspect what the author saw with a 40ms to a 0.1ms time difference was that it wasn't pre-warmed first run.

For me, with offset, the FIRST run was 25ms, but subsequet runs are around 2-3ms. For `id > 10000`, it was under 0.05ms.

It's also very odd that they don't do an `order by`. This seems important. Default ordering is semi-stable. It'll tend not to change, but it can at any point. Benchmarking without that may be misleading.
I think in this context that's not a real concern, as on most laptop the human user has root equivalent permissions anyway (via sudo). In addition, Docker supports user namespaces, allowing you to have root in container being mapped to a non root user.

Has case law determined an outcome yet? I can’t think how in the world it would rule in favor of the plagiarist though.

Just more of a reason to write your document in notepad or on a collaborative system you control. You don’t control the hardware, then someone else can walk off with the software (or output of the software)
While this might be true, this is not what I've experienced. I lived in the US for 7 years. I went to school there, worked there and paid taxes. But I had to leave because I didn't get the H1B visa. So while people couldn't tell I was a foreigner, as far as immigration is concerned, I was always a foreigner. Even if I would have gotten the H1B visa, as someone born in India, it would have taken me 20+ years to get a green card...
