> arbitrarily kill you or jail you

At least in some countries, if you have a life-threatening medical condition and you lose your job, you're at a significant risk of death.

Just because you have it easy, doesn't mean everyone does. Billions of people are terrified of losing their jobs, because that means starvation or a slow painful death from a disease they can no longer afford to treat.

I worked with an Indian woman that was worked so hard that she had a spontaneous abortion. On a Sunday. And was made to go back to work that same day.
> I think of the value proposition of GPT-X as "what would you do with a team of hundreds of people who can solve arbitrary problems only by googling them?". And honestly, not a lot of productive applications come to mind.

Damn, this could replace so many programmers, we're doomed!

Yes, but Germany rides a very fine line and tends to err on the side of not banning speech.

A few examples:
- HAIG was an association of former Waffen SS members who tried their best to whitewash their past before disbanding. Was not made illegal.[1]
- There is a long list of Nazi associated symbols that are illegal and not illegal in Germany. Much effort was made to not blanket ban anything remotely associated with Nazis.[2]

The same experience. I felt much anger from my invisible buddy when they discovered I was trying to "destroy" them from my mind.

Cannabis use only made it feel more real and I spiraled out of control with the substance just so we could hang together.
Why don't you just untick notifications on the app?
I have more experience in the kitchen, and those estimates are still way off. I don't even pay attention to them.

Cooking is a nice break from screen-based activities. I put a podcast or some music on, and cook myself something nice. Since it's a hobby, I don't worry too much about efficiency.

That being said, after making a recipe once or twice, I always transcribe them, along with minor optimisations. Unlike some recipe creators, I don't have a dish washer, so these little optimisations matter.
Looks great! Any specific reason for choosing Stripe standard connect over express?
Yeah, because writing C and dealing with toolchain issues is so much more productive.

Or keeping doing the thankless gospel to get PyPy adopted.
It’s enough to qualify for the entrepreneur visa in Japan. I have to assume thailand is less.
One of the satellites launched was for amateur radio; at the time of this comment it doesn't look like anybody's heard anything from it:

I still buy Android phones with headphone jacks, and am happy to have them. From what I've seen there is no advantage size, weight or waterproofing-wise for foregoing it.

The side effect is that I can't buy the flagship models anymore since they usually don't have headphone jacks. Oh well. Also, yes I have bluetooth headphones. One of which also supports 3.5mm input. I use both. With my phone I primarily use the bluetooth, with my laptop and tablet I use the 3.5mm jack and if I am in a car without bluetooth or a friend's house, I can hook up the 3.5mm cable to my phone.
This is hardly an unusual concept on earth. You are still subject to the laws of your flag nation when sailing in international waters. Antarctica is not officially owned by anyone but researchers may still be subject to laws at home.
Right under the breathe notification is a button to turn off the notification. Also the second issue is fixed by the always on display.
I assume the point is that they normally don't ban for harassment? (or at least they're doing a really poor job on it)
I will add a non comprehensive list of relevant papers at the end of the post for anyone who wants to look further into the research.

I don’t know this person’s political stance, but I can’t help but be reminded of this story. A woman shot YouTube staff when her channel was demonetized. I think people who view social media as targeting right wing views are seeing reality very narrowly. Politics don’t appear to be involved with this case.

Perhaps this should trigger a warning. Or even an error with an option to provide (or generate with a known good configuration) an exclusion list for those.

Yeah, there are probably a lot of ways this would still cause issues. In any larger project with non-trivial dependencies, C-ABI generates a lot of extra work. At least without decorated (= mangled) function names...
> The second you use pandas with a custom data type

That's a pandas (and maybe numpy) issue, not a dynamic language issue. (If you want to generalize from the specific libraries more accurately than “dynamic language”, it's “using a low-level library whose type system doesn't match the host language type system” issue.

> Quants tend to use fixed precision types. It is like a float in every way, except base 10 instead of base 2 so there is no floating point error.

No, a type that is like binary floating point in every way except base 10 instead of base 2 would be decimal floating point, not fixed point. Decimal fixed point is different from binary floating point in more ways than base.
> EXCEPT to the extent that they are themselves protecting the nazis

like BLM protesters providing cover to violent antifa & rioters, you mean?
Is this really a thing... orbit is a vastly bigger place than the earths surface... you’d have to try pretty hard to hit that junk wouldn’t you?
> ...even if he didn’t intend violence.

That is a totally unreasonable standard that would speak very clearly of a bias (if that is what Twitter thought, which I doubt). It isn't being applied to politicians at all evenly, it is only being applied to Trump. If the speakers intentions and literal words don't matter, and they are to be judged by the most extreme fringes of their supporters then no politician is going to be allowed to speak.
"escaping from us faster than speed of light." ?????
Silly, but I've never seen an explanation of "Free as in Beer" before. Until now I equated it to the way you might get a free beer from a mate in the pub, but with the understanding that you'd get the next round. Give and take.

Also now really isn't the right time to promote the Fediverse's uncensored prowess, everyone's looking for the next Parler and every time I've looked at the Fediverse it's been fringe weird already.
They are part of the public domain, but there is no oversight to their power and little public recourse.
I don't disagree about your example, but that works both ways. That's why you measure mass and not units of something of arbitrary size.

Energy enters through front door or delivery trucks, energy leaves through sewers, windows/chimneys or front door.
You are, more or less depends on components and how you process them. The only way to figure it out is trial-and-error, sounds generic but it's true.

While I was unemployed for 9 months I got a brilliant idea to learn cooking outside of sandwiches and very basic meals. One of the main dishes I'd wanted to learn was boiled rice which everyone around me always fail to do properly except SEA expats. I was surprised that for each shape and size of rice I could buy there are 2 or 3 different sources and/or cultivars which behave differently but people tend to cook them the same way.

offtopic: where you got Space Rangers from?
> Well that's what you say but that's not true, to be marked as domonetisatised also lowers your view counts since the video stops showing up, it also might not show for subscribers.

I understand these to be separate issues that get lumped together because Google changed the way their recommendation engine worked to de-emphasise the importance of subscriptions around the same time as advertisers started to care about where their ads played. Happy to be proved wrong, but I had a quick look around on the internet and couldn't find a reasonable source to contradict me.

> Youtube is also able to monetize your video, but since people have reported seeing adds on demonetized videos, you just don't get the money.

This might be right, it might be wrong, but it isn't censorship.

> Can you point me out to left leaning content that gets demonetized constantly so I could compare with the right leaning one. I've not seen this happen in people I've subscribed and would like to see if this claim has any merit.

I don't watch much 'left leaning' content, so I can't readily provide an example, but a lot of true crime and history channels are constantly having videos demonetised for touching on non-advertiser friendly themes. I know this because they constantly complain about it!
Doubt it. To do anything beyond basic stuff in Prolog you need to understand its resolution algorithm. And it is not enough to understand 'what' it does but also the 'how' which is basically a backtracking algorithm.
Yes they take it to the extreme, the unhealthy extreme. Competition day is not a maintainable look and is your body at its weakest, it’s a one day event only. No normal person needs to or aspire to be a competition day bodybuilder unless they want to win a bodybuilding competition, guessing most don’t and most people couldn’t.

It’s definitely not healthy to go to that extreme but I do think there is a lot in following the process and general diet to loose fat then maintain it at a reasonable level.

If you take the competition extreme side out of it the bodybuilding diet is pretty good. Complex carbs, lean meats, lots of greens, nuts and seeds for fats. Fitness model might be a better example as they don’t push it to the extremes are lean but can maintain the shape quiet healthily.
Can someone who follows this industry tell how this compares to SpaceX, Rocket Labs and Blue Origin, etc.

Also, do we have to worry that all of the satellites that are going up en masse will start raining down on our heads?
Thanks.Both fixed cost per connected accounts and liability of chargebacks. We may switch to express based on how we go.Apart from that, we will be supporting PayPal soon though.
What no one tells you about writing effective emails
I don't think this is really such a bad thing. You wouldn't have bothered selling these things because its too much work for too little reward. Now someone has dedicated themselves to redistributing these things to others who want them and taking a tiny fee for the work.
Facebook are too greedy. They take take take and never give anything back. It is not good for their presence in other countries. You have to give the host some reason to want to keep you around.
But these people at Facebook think they can go to a completely foreign market, setup shop, take over a huge chunk of the advertising industry, become an influential media platform overshadowing local media outlets, and they do that while employing barely any locals and avoiding taxes too boot.
I name Facebook but this is probably true of other US tech giants too.
Point is, this is not a symbiotic relationship. It is no wonder the EU are not happy.
Julia is a nice language, it's just tough to compete with Python.

- The beginner experience in Julia is still much worse than it is in Python. Stuff that should work intuitively sometimes doesn't, and when you get a cryptic error message, it's difficult to find relevant help online. And when you do find help, some of it is out of date because the language has changed over the past few years.

- You can squeeze a lot of performance out of Python and the ecosystem of libraries is hard to beat.

- Julia has to be way better than Python to give people an incentive to switch. Being just marginally better in some aspects of the language isn't enough. And it's very difficult to be much better than Python especially in useability and ecosystem.
There are lots of great reasons to buy SaaS businesses. Failed product market fit, for example, does not mean that creators tried everything they could. If you're a marketer (or already have an audience) buying a product is a great idea.

Lots of people also sell good SaaS products because they have others that have taken off (I bought one last year from someone who got funding from YC on another project, for example).

"The market likes the product. In this case, the original owner can just hire people to do the work, so there's no reason to sell." is also flawed. Do you have any idea how many developers/creators hate the idea (and reality) of hiring and managing people? Plenty would prefer to cash in and go back to building and let someone else build a team.
It seems like this was a bail hearing, where “danger to the community” is a condition—-and not a particularly rigorous one—-required to set bail[0].

Since his bail was set at $1000 according to the article, it seems like the judge also didn’t believe this guy was really all that dangerous either.

It’s important not to confuse this finding purely for bail purposes from a preliminary exam with any actual finding of guilt or innocence.

I think it's great they're doing this, but GPT-3 is the bellwether not the end state.

Open models will function a lot like Open Source does today, where there are hobby projects, charitable projects, and companies making bad strategic decisions (Sun open sourcing Java), but the bulk of Open AI (open research and models, not the company) will be funded and released strategically by large companies trying to maintain market power.

I'm thinking of models that will take $100 million to $1 billion to create, or even more.

We spend billions on chip fabs because we can project out long term profitability of a huge upfront investment that gives you ongoing high-margin capacity. The current (admittedly early and noisy) data we have about AI models looks very similar IMO.

The other parallel is that the initial computing revolution allowed a large scale shift of business activities from requiring teams of people doing manual activities, coordinated by a supervisor towards having those functions live inside a spreadsheet, word processor, or email.

This replaces a team of people with (outdated) specializations with fewer people accomplishing the same admin/clerical work by letting the computer do what it's good at doing.

I think a similar shift will happen with AI (and other technologies) where work done by humans in cost centers is retooled to allow fewer people to do a better job at less cost. Think compliance, customer support, business intelligence, HR, etc.

If that ends up being the case, donating a few million dollars worth of GPU time doesn't change the larger trends, and likely ends up being useful cover as to why we shouldn't be worried about what the large companies are up to in AI because we have access to crowdsourced and donated models.
Let's follow that argument through to its logical conclusion. If the incumbents actually were hunting witches "so hard that 95% of their refugees were innocent people", the vast majority of the influx of refugees to new platforms would not be witches and they would not have to worry about getting a large user bases for witches to be vastly outnumbered.

Presumably this would be reflected in Gab, Voat and Parler being entirely normal discussion forums where people talking about storming capitols or Jewish problems would soon be shouted down by the majority userbase of perfectly normal people. Has this been the case?
I did another variation of this for the Chrome updater. I deleted its plist files in ~/Library/LaunchAgents and created the directories with the same names so it can't easily overwrite them.

Honestly, it's frustrating that installing a daemon doesn't require user consent. Apple doesn't have their priorities right — instead of this legitimately useful feature, they added these annoying runtime permissions for the subdirectories in your home directory.
This made me laugh:

"(And what does “behave” even mean? It’s not like we are talking about children here.)"

Are they serious? :-D
well done, US long-arm jurisdiction on the moon!
The article ends with "reasonable exchanges are only possible with reasonable people". If you have an unreasonable manager or are dependent upon unreasonable people, there is no amount of meditation upon unaligned goals or rationalisation that will change the situation. Expecting everyone to act rationally in the best interests of a shared goal is an exercise in frustration and a fast track to burnout.
Rent just makes up the majority of my expenses. I was basing this on rent + bills at £800/month. Leaving £400/month for other expenses ~= £15k/year ~= $20k/year = 5 years.

£600/month is also definitely doable in London (even in Zone 2). I have quite a few friends who earn less than me that wouldn't even consider a room costing more than that.
Nice try, but I will never attach an usb device for frequent usage that sticks out like the Solokeys v2. The size of the Somu * is fine, as it doesn't need to removed when transporting a laptop.

Integrated in to the laptop it would be great, like an Apple Watch allows https://support.apple.com/guide/imac/unlock-and-approve-with...

Mt. Gox: Creditors seeking to regain Bitcoin have a chance to recover funds
Engineering things for predictable failure is often necessary when the alternative is a worse, dangerous failure further down the line. The classical example of this is the fuse - it's a device designed to fail first in order to prevent other, more destructive failures. I know that's not the kind of engineered failure point you're thinking of, but it's important to understand that things like this may actually have good reasons.
Nazis do exist however and they seem to really like Trump's rallies.

Obviously most Trump supporters aren't Nazis, but they also don't really seem to mind having them around.

I don't think this should be seen in the light of "open source everything" but more that many see Microsoft doing open source not as part of "being good" but part of their age old "embrace extend extinguish" policy.

That only matters in a scripting context where you're re-launching over and over as you make small changes.

Once you have a real application that's up and running, it just runs.

Well, if the aliens exist outside our light hyper-cone (that is, by definitio, any kind of information from them has never reached and will never reach any piece of information we create) then it is the same.

However, if any aliens have lived or will live anywhere in the visible universe, then that is something we could at least in theory confirm our deny at some point, so it is not the same.

It's also important to remember that time is relative - that is, that events in far away places don't happen at a definite time compared to those happening here. That makes their existence different to me than what we normally think of as existence.

Existence has two senses anyway - one is the empirically verifiable bottom of existence that science can work with: this is the one I was referring to.

The other is a philosophical notion of existence that is harder to pin down. In this sense, God may well exist, the nultiverse with many big bangs may be real, infinity may be real etc. But it is impossible right now to make any kind of scientific arguments about these things, so they can only exist outside the realm of science (as we know it today).
Just to add, invest in broad-market index funds (or ETFs). Something which tracks FTSE All Worlds, MSCI World, maybe even S&P 500. Nowadays, there are hundreds of indexes that are so narrow I'm baffled how they're useful.
Secure enclaves as a second factor break the assumptions of 2FA threat models. If I compromise a single factor (your device) then I can gain both your password and your second factor.

The best second factors are separate devices with their own screens that indicate what you are authenticating to/for before you provide your authentication.

Of course, nothing ever stops a user from deputizing malware.
It's not about the cost, it's about UX. If I just did a full day of shooting photos, and I am in the hotel room looking at the photos, I don't want to dig through my bag and pull out the card reader, or to have a dongle hanging off of my laptop when I'm doing it. If I can just get the card out of the camera and throw it in the laptop it's so much nicer
Maybe he got into trouble for stealing^W misapproprating the employee ID card. I wonder if this particular airport has opening hours and therefore have times where no one is allowed to be in. Airports like Dubai operate 24 hours, I guess it would be possible to "live" there, especially the transit lounge. They even have shower facilities...

It makes me want to try it, lounge around there for a week, for yucks. Although, hanging around globetrotters during these days would not be clever...

No one really compares to spaceX... they are just doing it different and at a ridiculous pace.

Rocket lab are interesting in that they have a satellite bus (standard), so use their sensors and just connect on with your magic device... so it opens up space to a whole host of companies

Blue origin... yet to make orbit right? Do they even count? Some super cool tech going on though.

I don’t think we have to worry about satellites... expended stages and parts maybe...

If the theory of relativity is wrong, than yes, absolutely, the notion of a light hypercone is wrong as well, and the notion of what is within the realm of science changes.
All these things hardly cost anything compared to the major expenses of utilities, housing, and food. This is less useful for saving money (although still useful) and more about saving the environment and getting rid of stuff you no longer need.

You can call Python directly from Julia https://github.com/JuliaPy/PyCall.jl so much of the Python library ecosystem (say, matplotlib) is available to be used in Julia programs.

That helps the adoption story quite a bit. You can do the number-crunching in Julia where performance counts, and then analyse and present the results using Python.
